Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Li Xinglan just arrived at the gate of the courtyard and saw Blind Chen guarding it. He asked, "Is Su Su here?"

"Yes, yes." Blind Chen couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw the rare coldness on Li Xinglan's face.

He hesitated about how to tell Li Xinglan that Su Su was covered in wounds and unconscious.

Seeing Blind Chen's uneasy look, Li Xinglan's heart skipped a beat. Without asking any more questions, he walked past him and entered the courtyard. He saw that besides Aunt Wang, there was also a familiar figure standing on the steps at the door.

Shang Shiyu?

Li Xinglan raised his eyebrows, a trace of inquiry flashed across his eyes, he walked closer and stood in front of him, staring at him blankly.

Shang Shiyu still kept a straight face, with no expression on his face. Even though he was being stared at, he didn't say a word.

Helpless, Li Xinglan rolled his eyes and pushed the door open.

A strong smell of wound medicine hit him in the face. Li Xinglan's brows were tightly knitted together, and he walked towards the bed with heavy steps.

I saw Su Su lying there quietly, her whole body swollen, her hands covered with a thick layer of plaster, her face wrapped in layers of gauze, and some green herbal juice faintly overflowing from it. She looked so pitiful.

Li Xinglan stood at the head of the bed, looking at Su Su quietly, wondering what he was thinking.

Blind Chen followed in, scratching his head awkwardly. He wanted to offer some comfort, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Li Xinglan ask, "Why did you come back?" His voice was indifferent, without any emotion.

Blind Chen turned around and gave Wang Ma a bitter look. Seeing her embarrassed expression, he knew that she didn't want to face Li Xinglan directly, so he could only stumble and say, "It was...it was Wang Ma and Er Gou...who brought Su Su back..."

"Oh?" Li Xinglan's expression was gloomy, his eyes dark. He turned to look at Aunt Wang, who was at the doorway, lowering her head and not daring to look him in the eye. "Where did you find her?"

"I...sometimes go to Wanhua Tower to help with laundry and earn some extra money..." Mother Wang also had a bitter look on her face. Lying was not her strong point.

But if Li Xinglan finds out that it was Shen Lin who sold Su Su, and sold Wanhua Tower, then Shen Lin's other good leg would probably be ruined.

"How do you know where she is?" Li Xinglan's expression became more and more sinister, and the air pressure around him became lower and lower.

"I also heard that..."

"Heh~" Even if Wang Ma didn't tell the truth, he could guess roughly.

He regrets it now. He regrets keeping Wang Ma so that Su Su can see the dark side of human nature, and he regrets getting involved with the Shen family.

Cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Mother Wang was speechless and couldn't utter a word in defense.

Shang Shiyu spoke, a rare moment. He looked at Li Xinglan intently, "Su Su and I were imprisoned together in the woodshed. It was Aunt Wang who saved us."

"Oh?" Li Xinglan tilted his head, noticing that Shang Shiyu was covered in blood. "Have you been locked up with Su Su this whole time?"

Shang Shiyu shook his head and briefly described what had happened.

When Li Xinglan heard that Su Su was tied to a cross, exposed to the sun, and whipped, he actually chuckled.

Aunt Wang looked up and exchanged glances with Blind Chen. They both thought to themselves: It's over. Are you mad as hell?

"I don't know what she went through that night when she was alone." Shang Shiyu clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and a deep feeling of powerlessness swept over his heart.

He didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to think, didn't dare.

He had heard that Su Su was tricked into going to Wanhua Tower just to find him. He really couldn't imagine what would have happened to Su Su if he hadn't followed Song Hanli to Wanhua Tower.

Li Xinglan closed his eyes, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He moved a wooden stool to the head of the bed and sat down, whispering, "Everyone go, I'll keep watch."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma breathed a sigh of relief as if she had received a pardon, and slipped away without a trace. She really didn't know how to face the two siblings.

"Come and call me when you get tired, and I'll continue guarding." Although he said so, Blind Chen knew that Li Xinglan would not do so.

As expected, Li Xinglan shook his head after hearing this, his voice full of fatigue. "No need, Uncle Chen. Just make Su Su a bowl of her favorite eight-treasure porridge in the morning."

Blind Chen didn't force it and responded. He tried to pull Shang Shiyu away, but found that he couldn't move him at all.

"Ergou, let's go! You are still injured and you need to rest well." Blind Chen persuaded quietly, but the man still stood there motionless.

"Let him guard if he wants." Li Xinglan tidied up the loose hair on Su Su's forehead. Smelling the herbal scent emanating from her face, he knew that the wound must be serious, and a huge rage surged in his heart.

After Blind Chen left, Li Xinglan turned off the lights in the house, leaving only a candle.

He glanced indifferently at Shang Shiyu who was standing in front of the door and said nothing.

In this way, the two of them stayed awake all night, accompanied by Su Su's occasional screams in her dreams.

The sky was about to turn light, and Su Su muttered to herself that she had a nightmare.

It hurts, my face is burning with pain, my whole body is in pain, and I feel like I'm suffocating.

Su Su felt as if she was still imprisoned in a dungeon. Her teeth were chattering from the cold. She cried and shouted that she wanted to go home and the meat buns her mother made.

Li Xinglan held her hand that was flailing in the air, and touched her forehead, and found that she had a high fever again.

He stroked her hair and coaxed her softly, "Okay, eat the meat buns. When you wake up, I'll let Uncle Chen make them for you, okay?"

As he was speaking, Blind Chen appeared with a clay pot, with eight-treasure porridge inside emitting wisps of steam.

He greeted Shang Shiyu sleepily, "Have you been guarding the door all night?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Blind Chen advised him to take a rest and not to exhaust himself.

But Shang Shiyu just shook his head and opened the door quietly.

Blind Chen sighed helplessly, wondering what kind of dog this kid was, to be so stubborn.

When I walked in, I saw that Li Xinglan had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless.

Blind Chen put the porridge on the table, walked up to him, and said affirmatively: "You haven't slept all night either."

He sighed and patted Li Xinglan's shoulder, "I cooked more, you should eat some too."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Blind Chen was unusually tough. He pulled Li Xinglan to sit at the table and then pulled Shang Shiyu in.

Pressing the two dogs onto the round stool, he said, "No matter what kind of stubborn dogs you two are, please eat your meal properly, okay?"

Scooping a bowl of porridge for each of them and stuffing it into their hands, Blind Chen continued to persuade them earnestly: "Su girl still depends on you two for protection. If you collapse, can you really rely on an old bone like me?"

After a moment of silence, Li Xinglan picked up the bowl and started eating in small bites.

The porridge was cooked to perfection, and the red beans inside were soft, sweet and sticky, just what Su Su loved.

Shang Shiyu looked numb, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He held the spoon but could not taste the food.
