Chapter 643 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua
"Young Master Fang, your maid should speak with evidence. If she makes baseless accusations and slanders against others, Baichuan Academy will not tolerate such a person."
Li Lianhua, who always maintained a gentle demeanor, now had a cold look in her eyes.
"That's right, my mother is a good person!"
Fang Duobing mumbled but did not answer.
Hua Xiaozhou gave Li Lianhua a look, then took out a small tinderbox from her pouch at her waist, walked through the gap in the wall to Wangfu's side, pulled off the cap, blew on the tinderbox, and held it under Wangfu's nose.
There was no flame, only a wisp of white smoke rising from the tinderbox. Wangfu took a light inhale and immediately felt relaxed all over. Even the pain in his arm subsided. He instinctively breathed heavily and soon could no longer feel the wound on his right arm. He also regained consciousness and his eyes became clear.
"Wangfu, what do you think?"
"Young Master, it doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
Although Wang Fu's face was still pale, he had regained his strength and was able to stand up with Fang Duobing's help.
"What...what is this?"
The old doctor stared eagerly at the tinderbox that Hua Xiaozhou had just covered in his hand. He had been practicing medicine for many years and had never seen such a thing before.
"This is marrow incense, which can numb the injured person's senses and make them forget the pain instantly, but it is highly addictive and not for sale."
Hua Xiaozhou blocked the old doctor from saying he wanted to buy it.
Actually, there's another part to the incense's effects: those who smell it will feel no pain for a short time, but afterwards the pain will be doubled. About an hour later, this boy named Wangfu will be rolling on the ground in pain, and may even want to commit suicide or self-harm.
What a jerk! Daring to rummage through my things!
"Now, I'm asking you, who wants to kill you?"
Wangfu's face fell with joy, but as he recalled the scene just now, his expression turned to terror, and he said with lingering fear:
"It's not a human, it's a ghost!"
"Young Master, I'm so scared, let's go home!"
Fang Duobing patted Wangfu on the back to comfort him:
"Don't be afraid, young master is here. Tell me clearly what you saw."
Wang Fu tried his best to calm himself down.
"When I came in, there was nothing in the room. I was here, and after looking at the bundle, I wanted to stand up and look at it from another spot. But as soon as I turned around, I saw a dark shadow rushing towards me. It didn't look like a human, it looked like... a shadow puppet. Yes, a shadow puppet. It was very thin, like it came to life. I almost got my neck slashed, young master! Luckily, a white shadow suddenly appeared and deflected the attack for me. Otherwise, I would never have seen you again, young master, waaaaaah..."
The fear of death struck again, and as Wangfu spoke, tears streamed down his face.
Hua Xiaozhou flicked her wrist, and a white silk ribbon extended, slapping Li'er, who had been trying to shift the blame onto her.
With just the right amount of force, Li'er felt a sharp pain in her back and slammed onto the table with a thud, screaming in pain.
"Yes, yes, that's her, young master, she's the one who saved me."
Wang Fu's pale face flushed slightly as he looked at Hua Xiaozhou with gratitude.
Despite the pain, with tears in her eyes, the maid Li'er apologized to Hua Xiaozhou.
Even when Fang was ill, he clasped his hands and bowed his head.
"Lady Hua, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask."
Hua Xiaozhou didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, turned around and went back to Li Lianhua's side. The moment their eyes met, her face was full of pleading for praise.
Li Lianhua smiled, feeling very proud. Her wife had really grown up and was handling things with more and more discretion.
