Chapter 1725: Thought You Two Went Off to Play

Ning Shu held the sharp blade in her hand and was about to teach Li Gouzi a lesson when she heard a rush of footsteps outside.

“Ermei said she was going to the toilet, but no one can find her.”

“I looked for her everywhere.”

The voices outside the room were getting closer and the footsteps were getting louder. To make matters worse, it sounded like there were many people outside.

Ning Shu quickly considered her situation. The most important thing at the moment was to not get involved with Li Gouzi.

Putting away the dagger, Ning Shu opened the window and jumped out, closing the window behind her.

Ning Shu took a detour avoiding the rooms and returned to the main hall.

There were colored threads for weaving Chinese knots placed on the tables in the hall.

The reborn Bai Yiqiao was impressive at weaving knots. She has seen many styles back in her rich household. The women in the area, married and unmarried, all came to learn from her. Chen Ermei was also one of the women who came to learn from her.

But it was precisely in Fang Yong’s house that Chen Ermei was defiled by Li Gouzi.

As of now, Bai Yiqiao and Fang Yong were already married.

Ning Shu picked up an unfinished knot on the table. She plaited the knot in her hands as she walked to the abandoned room in the backyard.

“Hey, what are you all doing here?” Ning Shu looked curious. “I was wondering why there was no one inside, so it turns out that you all came out here.”

“Little Sister, where did you go? The girl from the Bai family said you went missing,” a man asked Ning Shu.

This man was Chen Ermei’s elder brother, the eldest child of the Chen family. He looked simple-minded.

Ning Shu looked at Bai Yiqiao. “After I went to the toilet, I went back inside.”

Although Bai Yiqiao was dressed like a peasant woman living in the countryside, her clothes were sewn with intricate embroidery, which immediately elevated the class of the hemp garment.

Bai Yiqiao was a concubine in her previous life so she knew how to please people with her appearance. Women loved to look nice in front of the ones they liked. Even in harsh conditions, they would find ways to look good.

For a moment, Bai Yiqiao’s expression had a tinge of surprise before she quickly smiled. “Ermei, you didn’t even let us know that you came back? You had us looking for you everywhere.”

“I heard that Li Gouzi came to visit you. I even thought you two went off to play,” Bai Yiqiao added.

Ning Shu quickly shook her head. “I couldn’t play with Li Gouzi. Sister-in-law Fang, how could you say it like that? I came to learn how to weave knots from you. How could I go play with Li Gouzi? Everyone in the village knows what kind of person Li Gouzi is. How could I possibly be involved with Li Gouzi? I’m avoiding him like the plague. Sister-in-law Fang, how could you speak like this?”

Bai Yiqiao gently said, “I was just speaking casually.”

“What are you all doing here?” Ning Shu squeezed into the room. She saw Li Gouzi who had been tied up and said in surprise, “Sister-in-law Fang, how is there a man in your home?”

“Isn’t this Li Gouzi?”

Bai Yiqiao reluctantly said, “He must have slipped into this room to sleep.”

Ning Shu’s face held some trace of contempt towards Li Gouzi. “Once Big Brother Fang Yong comes back, have him sort Li Gouzi out. People who don’t know the situation would have thought that you were hiding a man, Sister-in-law. Your reputation will be ruined for no reason.”

Bai Yiqiao’s expression turned ugly and her gaze became cold for a moment. When she saw the loose-tongued, gossipy women pointing and whispering, Bai Yiqiao cursed Li Gouzi in her heart.
