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

After supervising the two stubborn dogs to finish their meal, Blind Chen nodded with satisfaction. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct them, "I'll go to the butcher shop to buy some fresh meat and come back to make meat buns for the girl. You two be good and don't quarrel."

Seeing Li Xinglan nodded, which meant he agreed, Blind Chen finally felt relieved and left with the empty bowl.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet.

The two dogs looked at each other, then looked away at the same time in tacit understanding.

After a while, Shang Shiyu stood up and was about to leave. Li Xinglan took a deep breath, as if he had prepared for an internal struggle. He pouted and asked, "Why are you in Wanhua Tower?"

Seeing Shang Shiyu's back stiffen noticeably, Li Xinglan didn't want to force him any further, knowing that his mouth was tighter than a clam and he couldn't get a word out of him. Just when he was about to give up questioning, he heard him speak.

"I went to Censor Song's residence." Shang Shiyu turned around. "I wanted to investigate the truth, so I worked as a stable boy there. Censor Song's son, Song Hanli, was a dandy boy. When I went with him to Wanhua Tower, I met Su Su."

"Su Su... When I saw her, she was already covered in wounds. She was tied to a cross stake..." When Shang Shiyu said this, his voice trembled slightly.

"Who is that person?" Li Xinglan asked.

"Su Su said his name is Han Junyue." Shang Shiyu looked a little lonely. The beast must be of extraordinary identity.

Han? The royal surname! Li Xinglan rubbed his chin, knowing full well that this was going to be trouble.

"Do you remember the specific appearance?"

Seeing Shang Shiyu nodded, Li Xinglan's frown gradually relaxed.

He brought the cooled porridge to the bedside and called Su Su softly.

After a while, Su Su opened her eyes in a daze. Her face was wrapped like a mummy, her head was dizzy and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Get up and eat something before going back to sleep." Li Xinglan carefully helped her up and let her lean against the head of the bed.

Knowing that her hands were wrapped like chicken feet and she couldn't hold the bowl at all, Li Xinglan took a wooden spoon and scooped a mouthful of porridge and brought it to her mouth.

Su Su was already so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She opened her mouth and let out an "Ah~".

Then the tone of "Ah~" turned into "Ah!"

She covered her face with her chicken claw hands, tears welling in her eyes.

I was so hungry I forgot about it and it broke my wound! It hurts so much!

"You deserve it!" Li Xinglan glared at Su Su and pinched her face without any hesitation. Although he avoided the wound, she still screamed in pain.

"Don't you think you deserve it, Wang Xiaocui? I was keeping a close eye on you, but you disappeared when I wasn't paying attention. Do you feel relieved now?" As he said this, he was about to reach out his hand again.

Su Su quickly raised her two chicken claw hands to protect her right cheek, "Brother Gou! I was wrong, I was wrong! I, Wang Xiaocui, will never dare to do that again!"

With a cold snort, Li Xinglan handed her the bowl and said, "I see you have quite flexible hands. Eat by yourself!"

"Oh, I can't live without my brother~" Su Su pursed her lips, raised her two paws, blinked her big eyes and acted coquettishly pitifully.

"Our dog brother is the most handsome, the best, the most gentle, the most considerate, and the most forgiving dog in the world!"

Seeing that he was still angry and refused to pay attention to her, Su Su nudged him with her elbow and continued to flatter him.

She knew that Li Xinglan was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Brother Gou, I'm thirsty." Su Su continued to sound pitiful.

Li Xinglan rolled his eyes almost to the sky, but he stood up honestly.

Su Su smiled as she watched Brother Gouzi pour her some water. Suddenly, she caught sight of Shang Shiyu sitting at the table, and her smile froze on her face.

"Why aren't you smiling anymore?" Li Xinglan returned with water. Seeing Su Su's guilty look, he sarcastically asked, "Are you naturally not fond of smiling?"

"..." Su Su shook her head with an embarrassed look, not daring to look Li Xinglan in the eye. She had no choice but to admit her mistake. "I, I just wanted to send some food to Ergou. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble..."

Speaking of food, Su Su suddenly raised her head and wailed, "Ah! The couple's box I made for Ergou is still in Wanhua Tower!"

"That's all you can do! Is that really necessary?" Li Xinglan rolled his eyes again. "Okay, Wang Xiaocui, or are you being partial? Why don't you just offer to make something for your dog brother?"

"No!" Su Su beat her chest in pain, "And my five hundred taels of silver notes!!"

"What?!" This time, Li Xinglan lost his composure. His pupils trembled as he asked, "How many taels? Five hundred?!"

Su Su nodded sadly.

After exchanging glances, the two siblings hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Suddenly, Li Xinglan stood up and pretended to walk out.

Su Su quickly asked, "Where are you going, Brother Gou?"

"Get back the five hundred taels!" His eyes were determined, as if he wanted to join the party.

Shang Shiyu stopped Li Xinglan, his eyes equally determined, "I'll go."

"What are you going to do? It's not your five hundred taels." Li Xinglan refused without a second thought. He turned around and warned Su Su, "You good fellow, you took the five hundred taels and went to find another dog, you wasteful thing. Wait until I come back and I'll deal with you!"

"..." Su Su retracted her little head in disappointment and acted like an ostrich.

"I want to go." Shang Shiyu felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Su Su acting like a pig in the woodshed just for a small package in the corner.

Inside was a couple's box she had made herself, but she burned down the woodshed on impulse yesterday, so the package should be gone.

"You should stay here to recuperate!" Li Xinglan glared at Shang Shiyu with disdain, "If you get caught, you'll implicate me!" After saying that, he walked out of the door angrily.

No, no, my blood pressure is high because of anger. That’s five hundred taels!

As soon as he left the courtyard, Li Xinglan saw Aunt Wang looking over here furtively with her head stretched out.

Seeing Li Xinglan looking at her coldly, Mother Wang scratched her head in embarrassment.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she walked up to him under his scrutinizing gaze, and knelt down with a plop.

Her eyes were firm, and her tone was more sincere than ever before. "It was my fault before. I didn't know what was good for me. I'm sorry, Master and Miss. I only ask that Master give me a chance, a chance to make amends."

Li Xinglan was a little surprised by what Wang Ma said. He thought she wanted to plead for Shen Lin.

After a long silence, Li Xinglan sighed softly and bent down to help Wang Ma up. "Su Su specifically mentioned this several times, and it was you who showed up in time and carried her all the way."

"Let's not talk about the past. Compared to saving my life, it's nothing." After saying that, Li Xinglan lowered his eyelids and observed Wang Ma calmly.

Her heavy expression visibly relaxed a little, and then she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Xinglan knew that she wanted to plead for Shen Lin.

But Aunt Wang surprised him again. She said nothing, and finally just nodded and stepped aside, her attitude obvious.

Not until Li Xinglan walked away did Wang Ma tuck the loose hair behind her ears, sighed, and turned away. Her back looked as if she had made a great decision.
