Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door. Sun Nu hurriedly rolled up the paper and stuffed it under the blanket.

“Sun Nu, are you feeling better?”

Liu Hua was holding a tray with two bowls on it. One was for the herbal soup, and the other was for dinner.

“Come, drink the medicine first before eating.”

Everyone in the medical school knew that MO Ruyue had already sent someone to call her parents over. It was obvious that she could not stay here any longer.

“How did you offend Gu Ying?”

“You made him so angry.”

Sun Nu didn’t say anything. She drank the medicine in one go and picked up his bowl to eat.

What should she say?

Was she supposed to say that she failed to seduce Gu Ying and was kicked into the river instead?

Liu Hua looked at Sun Nu who was eating silently. She knew that Sun Nu was unwilling to say anything, so she didn’t ask further. After Sun Nu finished eating, she silently carried the bowl out of the room.

Actually, they knew about Sun Nu’s matter. Moreover, she knew a little more than the others because she had always had a good relationship with Sun Nu. They were practically inseparable.

Today, Gu Ying, whom she had tipped off to Sun Nu, had returned. Sun Nu then asked her to leave. In the end, not long after she left, Sun Nu fell into the river and did not let anyone save her.

It was most likely that she had done something to anger Gu Ying.

Sigh, she could only say that Sun Nu’s heart was higher than the sky, but her life was thinner than paper. She could not recognize reality and herself. It was useless for others to say more.

Liu Hua didn’t tell Sun Nu that MO Ruyue had asked the servants to invite her parents over, but Sun Nu still heard it. It was those who had entered the room and were usually at odds with her, so they deliberately told her about it in front of the window.

Her house was quite far from here. Even if her parents hurried through the night, they would only reach here at five o’clock tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Before that, she had to see that person. Perhaps there was still room for negotiation.

Sun Nu, who was somewhat tormented, finally waited until nightfall.

In the dead of night, she sneaked out of the door and walked to the willow tree by the river.

The moon was brighter tonight. She could clearly see a black man standing under the willow tree. Sun Nu was a little afraid, but she still went over.

That person turned around and glanced at her. His voice was so faint that Sun Nu could hear it.

“Follow me.”

He didn’t dare to say anything to Sun Nu directly. It would be troublesome if someone came out.

At this moment, no matter how afraid Sun Nu was, she had to follow. She had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off.

The man in black brought Sun Nu upstream and did not stop until they left the village.

“Tell me what happened to you during the day first.”

“I did as you said and seduced Gu Ying.”

At this point, Sun Nu naturally did not dare to hide anything. She told the man in black everything that happened during the day.

The man in black was exasperated.

“Why are you so useless?

“You can’t even do that small thing!’

The black-clothed man’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Sun Nu, who had raised her head, happened to see it and retreated a few steps in fear.

Because of this incident, he had to carry bricks with the team led by the patrol team every day. He was stared at and couldn’t do anything himself. He had to sneak around in the middle of the night to see this woman. Just thinking about it made him angry.

“My parents will be here at dawn. MO Ruyue wants to chase me away. You must help me. I promise to complete your task this time. I beg

‘Go to the pharmacy… I’ll give you five taels first, and another fifty taels after the matter is settled.”

When Sun Nu heard that she was to poison the people, she was a little timid.

She did not want to kill anyone.

However, when she saw the silver ingot in the black-clothed man’s hand that was emitting a soft white light, her feet involuntarily moved closer to the black-clothed man and reached out to take the silver ingot in the black-clothed man’s hand.

“Come here, I’ll tell you in detail.”

The man in black waved at Sun Nu.

Sun Nu took two more steps toward the man in black.

The black-clothed man’s eyes suddenly darkened. In a breath, he changed his original thoughts. He could only blame this woman for being greedy!

Sun Nu had just stretched out her hand and hadn’t touched the silver ingot when she was pulled over by the black-clothed man and crashed into his arms. She was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream. The black-clothed man covered her mouth with one hand, and the silver ingot just happened to press against her mouth and hurt.

“If you want to die, scream!”

“If others see you meeting a man in the middle of the night, I don’t need to do anything to you. You won’t be able to stay here any longer. At that time, your parents won’t want you either!”

The black-clothed man’s words successfully stopped Sun Nu, who wanted to call for help, and she was at his mercy.

On a new day, the entire village gradually woke up with the crowing of the rooster. The people began to busy themselves with their lives again.

The young wives and aunties in the village took the clothes that their families had changed into yesterday and washed them by the river with baskets or basins.

“Aunt Chen, you’re so early today!”

“Yeah, you guys are also early.”

Aunt Chen was more diligent. She was the first person to reach the river. She chose a place where the water level was relatively clear upstream. She took out a piece of clothing and wet it in the river. She then brought it up again and smeared it with soap. She beat it with a mallet for a while before putting it back into the water to wash.

As she swung vigorously, the water rippled. Just as she was washing the last piece of clothing in the basin, a piece of clothing suddenly floated down from a clump of grass upstream due to the ripples of the water.

“Who was earlier than me? They actually ran to the top of the river.”

Aunt Chen stood up and tiptoed to look upstream, wanting to see who it was.

“Whose clothes are floating down?

Aunt Chen said as she reached for the wooden club. However, she felt that something was wrong when she hit it with the wooden club. She hit it twice again and a person actually floated up.

Aunt Chen was so frightened that she threw away her club and almost fell into the river herself. Fortunately, she grabbed onto the grass by the bank and rolled and crawled to the shore.

“Help-someone’s dead-

The commotion here attracted a few women who were washing clothes. They thought that Aunt Chen had encountered a snake, but when they heard her say that someone had died, they were so scared that their scalps went numb. They still ran over to see what was going on.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

When the few of them saw the floating corpse, their reactions were exactly the same as when Aunt Chen saw it. They all ran back, rolling and crawling. Two of them did not forget to pull Aunt Chen.

Soon, the village chief brought people over and fished up the corpse floating in the river. The corpse was already white and stiff. “Isn’t this the girl who fell into the river yesterday?”

Someone recognized the corpse as Sun Nu.

For a moment, the villagers were in a panic. Someone had drowned in the river. In the future, they would not dare to come here to wash clothes.

“Wasn’t this person fine yesterday? Why did she…”

Someone wanted to say something but paused after thinking about it. These words could not be said casually.

MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had also heard that someone had drowned in the river. They came over to see what had happened and saw that it was Sun Nu. They frowned deeply.

‘Go report it to the authorities.”

No matter what happened, they would definitely report it to the authorities. A guard behind MO Ruyue received the order and went to the county.

MO Ruyue squatted beside Sun Nu’s corpse and looked at it carefully. Just as she saw the faint strangulation marks on Slave Sun’s neck, she was about to turn her over to take a closer look when she was interrupted by a sudden wail.

“My daughter-

An old woman and an old man in their fifties, who were wearing patched coarse clothes, were crying and fighting from afar as they walked toward the river.

When the old woman and the old man saw Sun Nu lying on the ground, they threw themselves onto her and cried their hearts out.

The old village chief didn’t think this would work, but he couldn’t comfort them when they lost their beloved daughter..
