CHAPTER 50: 50: COLD AND RECKLESS (PART 2) _1

She was momentarily confused.

"Ahem," Shujun glanced at Dong Huiying.

Dong Huiying turned to look at Shujun upon hearing her, then turned her gaze back to the aloof man.

She was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized that the Liang family... seemed to have twin brothers?

The person she had caught was not Liang Shujun but Liang Shuyu, the man with a fairy aura, Second Brother Liang, Liang Shuyu.

Shuyu lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on Dong Huiying’s dark little paws, "Let go."

"Ah," the slow-to-react Dong Huiying finally understood, this was ancient times.

Although this ancient era was a bit peculiar, in a normal ancient era, women would rather wrap themselves up like zongzi, and holding hands with a man could be a matter of life and death. If a man saw a woman’s body, he would directly take the approach of "I will marry none but you," forcing the man to take responsibility.

Yet just now, she had openly rolled up Shuyu’s sleeve in front of everyone, no wonder Shuyu felt uncomfortable.

"My apologies," she coughed, then stepped back.

Shuyu hurriedly adjusted his sleeves. His eyes were deep, but his face betrayed no emotion.

In the hall, the officer called for Fang Lanshan, who whispered instructions before dashing out of the Department of Surveillance.

It wasn’t long before Fang Lanshan returned, whispering something into the officer’s ear.

The officer looked at Dong Huiying in surprise, then turned an unpleasant gaze towards Mr. Liu kneeling in the hall below. Clearly, she had sent Fang Lanshan out to verify the authenticity of this ’line of flesh.’

Now it had been confirmed, Dong Huiying was not spouting nonsense.

"Summon Liang Yixuan to the stand!"

Dong Huiying felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that this matter was going to be resolved, and her enduring the beatings hadn’t been in vain.

...

"Liang Yixuan, come out!"

A female yamen officer opened the door to the prison cell.

Yixuan walked out of the cell, handcuffed and shackled since he was charged with a crime. Every step he took, the sound of the iron shackles rang out.

"Yixuan!"

As soon as Liang Yixuan was brought to the stand, Shujun dashed towards him like an arrow. He grasped Yixuan’s hand, as the rest of their brothers gathered around.

Yixuan nodded to his elder brothers and then turned to look at Dong Huiying. At the sight of the bloodstains on her body, he suddenly froze: "What happened to you?"

Dong Huiying smiled, revealing her pearly whites, her big eyes sparkling.

The officer had Fang Lanshan summon an old man to take Yixuan to a side room for another physical examination.

Knowing this was not the time for reunions, Yixuan kept silent. However, he couldn’t help but look at Dong Huiying, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the shocking bloodstains on her body.

"Reporting to the officer!"

The old man kneeled down in the hall and solemnly stated, "I have re-examined Liu Lang, and he is indeed whole and untouched."

On the spot, the officer ordered a female yamen officer to remove Yixuan’s handcuffs and shackles. Yixuan was released without charges, and Dong Huiying’s body swayed.

She had been enduring and holding on, but now that this issue had come to a close, she felt relieved and could no longer stand.

As Dong Huiying collapsed, Yixuan was the first to rush towards her.

Though he was typically a person of elegance, and always appeared gentle and peaceful, when he held Dong Huiying, perhaps even he didn’t realize that his eyes betrayed a faint concern...
