1837 Old Liang Family Residence, Explaining Things

After Celestial Master Chi left, Fang Yu immediately looked at the Song woman in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy. Qi Hao found a place to sit on the side and helped Fang Yu sit down.

Fang Yu still felt uneasy, especially under the blatantly malicious gaze of the Song woman. He felt very uncertain and didn’t dare lower his guard at all.

For Song Yanru to kill Du Zhong and Lu Wenjing in a row and even plot against him and Ningwen at the same time, it was clear how scheming and cunning she was.

Moreover, this woman wanted everyone to die. This woman looked calm on the surface, but Fang Yu didn’t hesitate to suspect that she was most likely up to no good. She might suddenly attack Brother Qi like she had with him and Ningwen.

Thinking this, Fang Yu immediately couldn’t calm down. When Song Yanru tried to call Brother Qi over to talk, his face changed and he hurriedly grabbed Brother Qi’s wrist. “Don’t go over.”

“Haozi, I just want to talk to you and catch up,” Song Yanru said familiarly. Her eyes paused on Qi Hao, then quickly swept over the vigilant Fang Yu on the side. No one could see the dark light in her eyes.

After a pause, she continued, “By the way, Haozi, I haven’t told you how I met your sister-in-law, Master Chi. It was Master Chi who saved my life last time. If it wasn’t for her, who knows what would have happened to me?”

Song Yanru’s tone was filled with gratitude. If Qi Hao didn’t know that this woman had instigated Lu Wenjing to vote for him to die, he might really have been convinced by her.

Fang Yu’s face was incomparably unsightly, and his grip on Qi Hao’s wrist tightened until his knuckles turned white. Qi Hao feigned ignorance and patted Fang Yu’s arm. “It’s fine. Sister Song just wants to talk to me. Moreover, what Sister Song said is indeed the truth. She’s especially familiar with my sister-in-law. It was Sister Song who invited my sister-in-law to come here.”

The smile on Song Yanru’s face deepened when she heard Qi Hao’s words. Without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, she immediately echoed, “Haozi, you know that I have a good relationship with Master Chi. In my heart, apart from being Master Chi’s cousin, you’re also my junior.”

Qi Hao got goosebumps all over his body at the woman’s mushy words, but he didn’t show any emotion on his face as the woman continued, “I’m especially glad that I invited Master Chi here. As long as Master Chi is here, I believe we’ll definitely be able to get out of this d*mn place tomorrow. However, it’s best for us to eliminate prejudices first, trust each other, and stick together to get over this hurdle. Haozi, what do you think?”

“Sister Song is right.” Qi Hao agreed again.

“Brother Qi, she…” She’s not a good person. It looked like Qi Hao was genuinely about to be brainwashed and convinced by this woman. How could Fang Yu sit still? If Brother Qi trusted this woman a little more, he wouldn’t be far from death.

His cheeks flushed red and he wanted to warn Qi Hao, but Qi Hao covered his mouth before he said to Song Yanru, “Sister Song, Fang Yu must have misunderstood you before. I’ll have a good talk with him first. Don’t take his unpleasant words to heart!”

Fang Yu saw that Brother Qi was actually apologizing to the Song woman on his behalf. At the thought that she was the one who had chopped off his arm, he was so angry that his whole body trembled and his eyes turned red. He struggled to get up, but his injury was quite serious. How could he be Qi Hao’s match at that moment?

Fang Yu was so angry that his face twisted and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

On the other side, Song Yanru watched the show for a while, then sat back down with a strange smile, and didn’t say anything else.

Qi Hao persuaded Fang Yu to calm down. He lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him. “Even if you don’t trust me, at least trust my sister-in-law.”

Fang Yu: “…”

Qi Hao continued, “This woman wanted me dead before; how can I believe her? However, it’s best to try and get something out of her. It’s fine even if we can’t. She might not believe me now, but don’t worry, she won’t dare make a move on us now. Do you think she’s a match for us two men?

“We just have to be more vigilant against this woman in other ways. If she asks any one of us to go over alone, just don’t do it.”

Only then did Qi Hao completely placate Fang Yu. Fang Yu relaxed. It was good that Brother Qi didn’t believe that Song woman.

“Where’s Celestial Master Chi? Is she waiting outside for Song Yanru to make a move and expose her true colors?” Fang Yu held back for a long time before he asked this question in a low voice.

“My sister-in-law isn’t outside right now. She probably has something else to do.” Before his sister-in-law left just now, she had sent him a message to say that she would be back in a few hours. His sister-in-law had probably gone to find Lu Ningwen first. After all, Lu Ningwen was in danger right now. If she put it off, she might really not be able to save him.

As for his sister-in-law leaving them with Song Yanru, given how sick the latter looked, she was simply courting death if she wanted to attack a grown man like him. Even if this woman had evil intentions, she wouldn’t dare do anything to them before she recovered her strength in a few hours.

This woman had to be wary of his sister-in-law at all times, so she definitely wouldn’t dare attack them easily. As long as he and Fang Yu didn’t spend time alone with this woman or eat anything she gave them, it would be difficult for her to find an opportunity to make a move on them!

Qi Hao was focused on explaining this to Fang Yu and didn’t see Song Yanru staring at him from a distance. His lips curled up in a strange and terrifying arc, exposing her ghastly white teeth. She didn’t expect the lip-reading she had once learned to be so useful. It was simply great that the Chi woman had left. Even the heavens were helping her!
