After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 154 Beat up 1 rake

At night, everything is silent.

Ning Miao tossed and turned on the couch, thinking about something with his eyes open in the darkness, with no desire to sleep.

Suddenly she heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the door, and her first reaction was to think that someone was passing by the door.

Because her room was close to the entrance of the corridor, one had to pass through her door to go to the other rooms inside.

But she found that the footsteps stopped at her door. She immediately became alert, held her breath, sat up quietly, and listened carefully.

It sounded like water being poured on the ground.

No, it's not water, it should be something slightly thicker than water.

Her pupils narrowed as she recalled the scene when she poured lamp oil in Haitang Palace.

Someone spilled lamp oil?

She immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed, without even putting on her shoes. She quietly walked behind the door and looked out through the crack.

It was dark inside and there was moonlight outside.

A figure came into her sight and her pupils shrank again.

The other person was holding a pot in his hand, bending over, and was indeed quietly pouring something on the ground at the door of her room.

She sniffed.

A faint scent of oil wafted to my nose through the crack in the door.

It's not lamp oil, it's cooking oil!

She immediately understood the other party's intention.

Are you trying to make her slip on the oil and lose the baby in her belly?

Her face turned cold, and she immediately opened the door and reached out to grab the other person's arm, moving as fast as lightning.

The other person just stood up and prepared to leave quietly, but he didn't expect her to suddenly open the door and grab him, which scared him.

With the help of moonlight, Ning Miao also recognized the other person.

It’s Hu Mei!

Ning Miao's eyes became even colder and he held her arm tighter.

Because I am mute and cannot speak, I can only say “ahhhh” to express my questions.

Being caught in the act, Hu Mei was naturally nervous and tried to break free.

Ning Miao wouldn't let go.

"Let go! What are you doing?" Hu Mei said angrily.

Ning Miao was even angrier than her and screamed “Ahhhh” even louder.

Hu Mei was afraid of alarming the people in other rooms and was terrified.

"I'm just passing by, why are you arresting me?"

Passing by?

Ning Miao sneered in his heart.

Pointed to the ground.

Are you passing by like this?

Hu Mei's eyes flickered slightly, and she stiffened her neck with a guilty conscience and said stubbornly, "I was just careless and spilled the oil by accident!"

"One of the locks in my room was rusty and hard to open with the key. I went to the kitchen to get some oil and was going to apply some oil to the keyhole to lubricate it. When I passed your door, I accidentally spilled the oil."

Ning Miao sneered.

What a good reason!

But the oil on the ground is even better.

Although it was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly, I could see a whole area of ​​darker color on the ground.

If it was spread accidentally, how could it be spread over such a large area and so evenly?

Hu Mei continued to try to pull her arm out, but still failed.

"You're hurting me, let me go!"

Ning Miao pursed her lips and clenched her fingers tighter.

Does it hurt?

If she could not expose her martial arts skills, she might have taken off one of her arms.

Seeing that the other party was still trying to break free, she narrowed her eyes and pulled him back with force.

The opponent was pulled and staggered, stepping on the oil he had splashed, and Ning Miao used his strength to make him lose balance.

And let go at the right time.

The other person slipped.

Fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch!"

Hu Mei cried out in pain, and the oil bottle in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a bang.

Ning Miao turned around and went back to his room to put on his shoes, then strode over the dark spot on the floor at the door and went to the next room and knocked on the door.

Seeing this, Hu Mei became even more flustered: "What are you doing?"

While asking, he endured the pain in his waist and hips and struggled to get up from the ground.

Ning Miao has knocked on the door of the second room.

Knock on the doors of each room.

Seeing the lights in each room light up one after another, Hu Mei thought hurriedly and sat back on the ground.

People in each room got up, put on their clothes, opened the door and went out, only to see her sitting there crying.

"I was just passing by, and you opened the door and knocked me to the ground. I fell like this, so you helped me up. Why did you knock on their doors?"

"Everyone, come out and give me your judgement. I wanted to get some oil back to my room to apply oil to the lock cylinder. I passed by Aunt Zhou's door and she just happened to open the door and bumped into me."

"I was knocked to the ground, the oil bottle broke, the oil spilled all over the floor, and I was so badly knocked down that I couldn't get up."

"She didn't help me up, but she woke you all up. What did she want to do?"

-

The next morning, Yan Mobai came to the Dali Temple after court and saw Director Liao waiting at the door of his office.

When he saw the master and servant appear, he immediately came forward and said, "Sir."

"What's wrong?" Yan Mobai asked.

Manager Liao sighed and said with a headache: "It's still Hu Mei and Aunt Zhou."

The master and his servant all looked serious.

Lan Ying opened the lock of the office and Yan Mobai took the lead and walked in.

"Come in and talk."

After entering the office, Yan Mobai sat down at the table, and Director Liao told him everything that happened last night.

"Now each of them has their own reasons. Aunt Zhou said that it was Hu Mei who deliberately poured oil at her door to make her fall. Hu Mei said that she was just passing by with the oil and was knocked down by Aunt Zhou who opened the door. Aunt Zhou is putting the blame on her."

"Both sides have their own version of the story. It was late at night and no one else saw it. I... I don't know who is telling the truth."

After saying that, Director Liao added another sentence.

"However, Hu Mei did have a rusty lock, which matched what she said. Aunt Zhou has neither witnesses nor physical evidence."

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You mean you believe what Hu Mei said?"

"No, I... I am just stating what I know. I dare not make any rash judgment, so I came to ask for your instructions, sir." Chief Liao replied respectfully.

After yesterday's room allocation, he was a little confused.

Originally, he thought that Hu Mei was arranged by Yan Mobai, and Yan Mobai would definitely make the decision for Hu Mei.

But later on, Hu Mei went to live with someone else.

It is said that it is because of Blue Shadow.

Aunt Zhou is Lan Ying's godmother, and Yan Mobai gives face to Lan Ying.

They all have backers, so he naturally wouldn't speak rashly before he has figured out these complicated relationships.

Yan Mobai glanced at Director Liao and was silent for a moment.

"Let them come over. I will interrogate them personally. Let them come over one by one. Let Hu Mei come over first."

Director Liao accepted the order: "Yes!"

-

When Hu Mei limped to the office, Yan Mobai was handing a pile of documents to Lan Ying: "Send these to Zhang Zhubu."

Lan Ying took the order and left.

When I was going out, I met Hu Mei coming in.

He gave Hu Mei a fierce look.

Hu Mei pursed her lips and ignored him.

As soon as he entered, he knelt down in front of Yan Mobai.

"Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"

"After what happened yesterday, I already know that Aunt Zhou is Guard Lan's godmother, and the Lord is protecting Guard Lan, so how could I possibly harm her?"

"She knocked me down first, and she's now blaming me for it. She's trying to get revenge on me for insisting on living in the same room with her and coming to you to complain."
