Chapter 189 I Don't Like Loneliness
To stop him from saying anything disgusting, Hua Niang raised her head, and Zhao Li saw her face.
Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is Mr. Hua a local from Longxing County?"
“Young master, I am of course a local from Longxing County. I was born in a small town or village around Longxing County…”
"But you don't look like it at all! I feel like you look more like..."
Before Zhao Li could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, and a masked man in black walked in.
He knelt down before Zhao Li: "Master, the news has come back..."
Hua Niang couldn't hear what the master and servant were saying, but she noticed that the master's hands were quite restless while they were talking.
She had seen similar things before, but she never expected that the person in front of her was also a follower of that divination method.
How did he handle the situation with the girl he had previously sent there?
When those girls came back, they all said that although they hadn't taken all of them, two of them had been taken.
Thinking of this, Hua Niang felt inexplicably nauseous. She stood there staring at her toes, trying hard not to pay attention to the master and servant.
Fortunately, they finished their conversation quickly. After the man in black left, Zhao Li lay down on the soft couch next to him.
"What are you looking at, Mr. Hua? Is there anything fun on the ground?"
Upon hearing the voice, Hua Niang looked up at Zhao Li, then lowered her head again, saying, "It's nothing, nothing, I didn't see anything."
"So you want to know what we were talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Niang quickly shook her head. Seeing Hua Niang shake her head, Zhao Li seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
"Boss Hua, what do you mean by shaking your head?"
"Is it that you don't want to listen, or that you don't want to answer me?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Niang's eyes widened in terror. She wanted to speak in her defense, but before she could utter a word, she heard Zhao Li say...
"Don't rush to answer me, think it through before you answer me."
"My people just told me that something happened in Longxing Town. You should be familiar with that small town, right?"
"Speaking of which, I stayed there for a few days, and then I was inexplicably beaten up, but we haven't been able to find the culprit. Do you think if I go and have someone look for him again, we might be able to find that arrogant bastard?"
Upon hearing this, the flower maiden, who had been on the verge of speaking, immediately lost her voice.
She could only nod: "Please forgive me, sir. I was ignorant and presumptuous, and dared to try to know your whispers. I know I was wrong..."
After she finished speaking, Hua Niang knelt down. Zhao Li looked at Hua Niang without saying anything, and after a long while, he finally spoke.
"Alright, alright, stop kneeling. I only asked you a few questions, and you knelt down before me. If word gets out, people will think I'm incredibly arrogant!"
Hua Niang didn't dare to get up until Zhao Li left, leaving her alone in the room. Only then did she relax and collapse to the ground.
Honglin and the others came in from outside and saw that Hua Niang was still sitting on the ground, so they quickly helped her up.
"What happened? Everyone's already gone, why are you still sitting on the ground?"
Hongmei quickly went over and helped the person up. Honglan also helped from the side, helping the person to a stool and then pouring them a glass of water.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
After drinking a glass of water and recovering, Hua Niang turned to look at Hong Lin: "Weren't you on East Street?"
"Why did you come back when you were doing just fine over there?"
"Get out, get out right now! Go over there and stay there. You'd better never come back for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Honglin stopped what she was doing and stared wide-eyed at Hua Niang.
"Hey, don't think that just because you're the boss I won't dare hit you."
"Where I go is none of your business. What does it have to do with you?"
"This place doesn't belong to you alone, it belongs to all of us. Just because you say I can't come back doesn't mean I won't come back."
After finishing her sentence, Honglin tossed the pastries she was holding into the plate, then clapped her hands: "You think I wanted to come back? If it weren't for..."
At this point, Honglin suddenly stopped talking, and the other three people looked at her. To explain, she picked up the pastry she had just been holding.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you everything..."
Honglin told the other three people in the room about what had happened recently. After listening to her, Honglin was slapped on the shoulder.
With a snap, Hong Lin frowned.
"Since you knew that, why did you come back?"
"Wouldn't it be safer to stay on East Street?"
Hua Niang couldn't control herself any longer, and after hearing what Hong Lin said, she slapped him.
That brat is so reckless! She doesn't think about herself at all. She already knows there will be chaos here, so why did she still run back?
Staying on East Street is safer than coming back, no matter what!
Honglin was hit, and the pastries in her hand were knocked to the ground. She frowned and looked at Hua Niang.
"You think I won't come back just because you tell me to? What will you do if I don't come back?"
"If they all run away and leave me here all alone, I'm telling you, don't even think about it."
"I don't like being alone. I like being around people and having fun. If you all run away, who will I be having fun with?"
Although Honglin said that, Hua Niang understood that she did not mean it that way.
Seeing the strange expressions on the three women's faces, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop looking at me like that. I'm back now, and going back is impossible!"
"Besides, that person and his men are really annoyed with me right now. Even if I go back, they won't let me stay!"
Hearing this, Hua Niang and the others didn't know what to say, and in the end, they could only poke Hong Lin's forehead.
"I told you to climb the roof, and I told you to offend people. Now look what's happened, we're all finished!"
After staying behind, Honglin learned that Zhao Li wanted Hua Niang to go to Longxing Town.
Upon hearing this, both Honglin and Hongmei exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're being sent to Longxing Town?"
"Is his brain... ugh..."
Honglin was about to curse when her mouth was covered before she could utter a word.
"My dear lady, can't you keep your voice down? Don't you know the walls have ears?"
"Uh huh..."
Honglin, whose mouth was covered, was still struggling, so Hua Niang tightened her grip even more, looking at Honglin with disapproval.
"If you want to swear, when no one is listening, hide under the covers and you can swear all you want."
"But I'm telling you, not now!"
