The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 166 Your sister-in-law doesn’t like me

The more she didn't want Ye Xi to go, the more Ye Xi felt that she was scheming. He forced a smile and stubbornly tried to avoid her.

"I'm still worried."

She had a guess in her mind that she didn't dare to think too deeply about - maybe Lin Shanjuan wasn't even next door, but had been transferred to...

Ok? ? ?

Ye Xi had just started thinking when she was suddenly picked up horizontally. She looked at Liu He in astonishment, her mind full of questions -

Are you not even pretending anymore? He Qing can't hold me!

"Since you want to go, I'll take you there."

She noticed Ye Xi's attempt to struggle and held her even tighter.

"But I will put your health before anyone else's, so if you want to go, you have to go this way!"

After she finished speaking, she took big strides and walked out. Ye Xi had never been hugged like this before, and she felt uncomfortable all over, especially when she opened the door and faced Li Chou. She could see the look of horror on the face of this simple and honest subordinate.

If I had to describe it, it would be that Li Chou's eyes turned from a pigeon's into an owl's, staring wide open.

Liu He walked fast, and before Ye Xi could struggle, she was carried into Lin Shanjuan's room.

At that time, Lin Shanjuan had just put on his clothes and was ready to come see her. The three of them looked at each other. Ye Xi really didn't know how to face her good friend in this state. His face was almost familiar.

"Put me down!"

Liu He was unmoved by her gnashing of teeth, and all his attention and vigilance were on Lin Shanjuan.

Although she looked weak, she protected Xier behind her with all her strength when I arrived. She probably dealt with all the minions by herself, so she was quite capable.

The appearance... is acceptable.

It's not entirely unreasonable for Xier to be so worried about her.

But I still feel uncomfortable.

Lin Shanjuan was shocked by their strange way of appearance, and even forgot that he was in his own room. He stood up and passed by the two of them.

"Excuse me, I'm going out for a walk."

There was a loud thunder outside, and Ye Xi hurriedly called out to her: "Don't turn around! I'm not disturbing you!"

Lin Shanjuan's footsteps suddenly stopped. Fortunately, Liu He finally put Ye Xi down, but he was still wary of Lin Shanjuan.

"Shan Juan, are you...are you seriously ill?"

Lin Shanjuan turned around and said, "It's okay. I just need some rest. How about you? How are your injuries?"

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine, this little injury is nothing unusual."

Did Xier say this to reassure her?

Liu He was dissatisfied: "Xi'er is seriously injured."

Lin Shanjuan: Where does this intense hostility come from? Did I offend Ye Xi's family? Why does it feel like her sister-in-law dislikes me?

Ye Xi hurriedly covered Liu He's mouth and said, "No! It's really nothing! I have something to tell you, so I came to see you."

Liu He was stunned, his eyes attracted by the hand on his lips. Unfortunately, Ye Xi didn't cover his lips for long before taking it back.

Lin Shanjuan's eyes wandered between them, and he nodded hesitantly: "Okay, go ahead."

She came back and sat at the table, and Liu He sat down as well, clearly saying "I want to listen too."

Ye Xi originally planned to tell Cricket behind her back that she was not the real one, but now that she refused to leave, how should the topic be brought up?

"...Sister-in-law, I'm a little hungry."

After knowing that this person was fake, it became so difficult to call her "sister-in-law".

Liu He looked at her and asked, "Do you want to eat fish?"

No wonder she mentioned fishing just now, it turned out to be because of this.

As long as he could get rid of the person, Ye Xi would be happy to suffer even if it meant being in trouble, so he nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Liu He quickly stood up and looked back at Lin Shanjuan before leaving. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were very vigilant.

Lin Shanjuan: ...

It wasn't an illusion. Her sister-in-law really didn't like me.

As soon as the door closed, Ye Xi rushed to Lin Shanjuan like a whirlwind and sat down next to him, blurting out what he wanted to say without waiting for Lin Shanjuan to speak.

"She's not my sister-in-law!"

Lin Shanjuan looked at her with a very strange look: "She braved the heavy rain to save you, and she kept glaring at me because I got you hurt. She protected you so much. If she is not your sister-in-law, then what am I?"

Ye Xi was so anxious that her upper and lower teeth were almost chattering: "Oh! Although she looks exactly like my sister-in-law... No, there are differences! Their eye colors are different! She is really not my sister-in-law!"

Although she spoke incoherently, Lin Shanjuan understood what she meant: "Are you saying that this person is a fake?"

Ye Xi nodded vigorously, and started to grimace again when he touched the wound.

Lin Shanjuan poured her a cup of tea and lowered his voice: "Tell me in detail, what evidence do you have?"

Ye Xi began to list the evidence she had just discovered: "She has a flower tattoo on her back. Her voice is different from my sister-in-law's. Her eyes are dark gray, while my sister-in-law's are black!"

Finally, with a determined look in her eyes, she spoke her tentative words: "I tentatively asked her how many fish she caught last winter, and she said three or four. But we have never fished together!!"

This is indeed conclusive evidence.

Lin Shanjuan was even more puzzled: "If she's not your sister-in-law, why is she so nice to you? She even dislikes me!"

Ye Xi was bewildered and shook her head like a fool: "I... I don't know either. I only know that she is also a southern barbarian, but the details..."

She scratched her head. "I don't know if she's good or bad, or what her purpose is in replacing my sister-in-law. I don't even know if her face is real. How could someone who looks so similar exist?"

Lin Shanjuan speculated: "Twins?"

Ye Xi: "Are you talking about twins? But the Nanman princess only has her sister-in-law left. I've never heard that she has any sisters!"

This matter was discovered too suddenly and it is difficult to figure out the cause in a short period of time.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shanjuan helped her analyze a few points that could comfort her -

"First of all, since she braved the heavy rain to rescue you, it proves that she didn't intend to harm you. Otherwise, she could have just taken advantage of the situation. We were powerless to resist at the time."

"Secondly, she gave you an antidote pill before you left. It was obvious she wanted to protect you. Perhaps there's some hidden secret you don't know about?"

Ye Xi fell into deep thought as she spoke: "I don't know the secret, so what is her purpose?"

Lin Shanjuan recalled the look in Liu He's eyes. After savoring it carefully, he felt...

That kind of threat seems to be the threat from a love rival?

"Maybe..." she murmured, and after a moment her thoughts opened up, as if she had discovered a new world. She held Ye Xi's shoulders and said, "Maybe she came for you, but her target is not entirely you?"

Ye Xi didn't understand, and after a long while she uttered a syllable: "Huh?"

"She likes you!"

"bump!"

The door was violently slammed open. Liu He only heard the last four words, which were spoken with excessive excitement. His face was as cold as ice: "Who?"
