Chapter 255 A Weird Smile

Shen Yanliu took another sip of the bird's nest, and suddenly his eyes moved, as if he thought of something.

"Somebody come!"

Following Shen Yanliu's deep shout, a servant came in and stood quietly waiting for orders.

Shen Yanliu said: "Go and call the young lady over!"

Shen Yanliu and Shen Mizhi came to the dungeon together. The unpleasant smell in the dungeon made Shen Mizhi frown, and an impatient look appeared on her fair face.

Shen Yanliu led Shen Mizhi into a secret cell. The stench of blood was so irritating that Shen Mizhi immediately covered her nose with her sleeve.

Shen Yanliu walked over and dragged Su Di, who was curled up in the corner with blood all over her body and a broken arm, to the prison door. He grabbed Su Di's hair and exposed her face.

The dim light outside shone on Su Di's face.

"Do you know this girl?"

Shen Mizhi didn't know what her father meant. How could she recognize such pigs and dogs? But she still took a step closer and took a closer look. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw it.

It had been more than half a year since she had been humiliated and molested by Duan Rong in front of his painting stall. She had already let it go, but when she saw Su Di, the past came to her mind again, and a feeling of disgust echoed in her heart.

"I've seen it!" Shen Mizhi said coldly.

"In front of Duan Rong's painting stall?"

Shen Mizhi didn't want her father to know so clearly, her face flushed, and she nodded, "Yes."

Shen Yanliu felt relieved and put Su Di down. It seemed that the boy had not lied to him. He did not want the merit order because he was afraid of the people of the Filthy Blood Cult and wanted to settle the score with them later.

Shen Yanliu said coldly: "Let's go."

He took Shen Mizhi out of the dungeon and went to the study. During the rest of the journey, he did not say a word to Shen Mizhi because he was deeply thinking about the case.

Shen Mizhi stood in the corridor in a daze for a while, then left angrily.

Shen Mizhi returned to her room and felt angry when she thought of her father's indifference.

Moreover, she would be participating in the selection for registered disciples of Taiyi Sect in March, but Shen Yanliu had never asked her how her preparations were going, nor had she ever cared about her cultivation progress. She was only focused on next year's performance evaluation.

After much difficulty, she was called in. She thought he was going to ask her about her assessment, but he only asked about a worrying matter that she had already let go.

Shen Mizhi has indeed been under a lot of pressure recently. The assessment is approaching, but she has not been able to achieve the fourth level of inner breath realm.

And deep down, she was actually a person with extremely low self-esteem. Recently, because of the cultivation, she was almost broken and often suffered from insomnia. Morning was the time when her mental state was the worst. Shen Yanliu suddenly called her to the dirty dungeon and treated her coldly. In this morning, this became the last straw that broke her defense.

Shen Mizhi sat in front of a carved mahogany table and smiled to herself. A hint of madness began to emerge in her eyes.

She suddenly stood up and took out a yellow snakeskin dagger from the box beside the bed.

Shen Mizhi held the dagger tightly and sat back in front of the table. She kept rubbing her hands on the dagger because of nervousness...

Shen Mizhi suddenly pulled out the dagger. She looked at the cold light of the dagger and smiled strangely. The madness in her eyes became even stronger...

She rolled up her sleeves, took the dagger, and stabbed her fair forearm...

The sharp dagger pierced the delicate skin in an instant, and bright red blood flowed out...

Shen Mizhi looked at her own bright red blood, her eyes revealing a sense of delight.

The bright red blood was flowing on the white and tender skin, and there were actually several old scars of varying depths on the white and tender forearm like a lotus root...

She first treated herself like this when she was ten years old. At that time, Shen Yanliu had been married to Ma Chunmin for several years, but as Shen Mizhi grew up, she hated her stepmother more and more in her heart. What disgusted her most was that Ma Chunmin always showed her concern. It was when she was most upset that she stabbed herself as if by a ghost. At that moment, watching the blood gushing out, she felt a cruel pleasure.

She hasn't done this for a long time since she became an adult.

She knew this was not normal.

But, on this annoying morning, she was at it again.

After the pleasure passed, Shen Mizhi suddenly became flustered. She wiped off the blood, applied medicine on herself, and carefully wrapped up her wound while biting the bandage.

After doing all this, she felt indescribably relieved, as if a huge stone had been removed. She smiled faintly and went to the yard to practice.

Sun Huang’s wife was sitting in the yard scolding him early in the morning.

"You bastard, just die outside and don't come back!"

Sun Huang said he would be back in the evening, so she waited for him in the first half of the night, but she didn't see Sun Huang.

When she woke up in the morning, she was certain that Sun Huang had stayed overnight in Tanghe County with Luan Jingfu.

"Who knows what he has done?" Sun Huang's wife muttered as she sat in the yard.

Just then, there was a knock on the gate.

Sun Huang's wife smiled and said, "You still remember to come back? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!"

She thought it was her husband who had returned, so she walked over and opened the gate. It turned out to be Mrs. Cai from the next door. She was carrying an empty basket, her face was pale and panicked. She said, "Sister Liu, I just saw your Sun Huang on the street?"

"Sun Huang?" Liu E looked behind Cai and asked with a smile, "Where is he?"

"Your Sun Huang is dead." Cai shouted.

Liu Eying's face changed and she said angrily, "It's New Year's Day, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Go to the government office and ask." Cai said, "I just saw his body hanging on a horse on the street..."

Liu Eying looked very unhappy. Cai was always a gossiper and often gossiped among the neighbors, but this time the joke was a bit too much.

When Cai saw Liu Eying looking at her unkindly, she said no more, turned around and left with the basket.

Liu Eying was worried, so she locked the gate and went to the government office.

Along the way, she kept thinking about what Cai said, but she changed her mind and realized that her husband had been escorting for more than ten years without any accidents. This time he just went to Tanghe County once, and she had been to Tanghe County several times. And this time, Sun Huang went with Luan Jingfu.

She was a woman, and although she didn't understand, she had heard Sun Huang say that Luan Jingfu could be the chief leader because he was... a powerful person in the Qi realm.

The more Liu Eying thought about it, the more she felt that nothing could happen to Sun Huang.

Liu Eying arrived at the county government office and pestered the gatekeeper, asking him questions for a long time, but the gatekeeper did not give her a definite answer. He just kept saying dirty words and teasing her.

Liu Eying came down the stone steps of the yamen. She felt that no news was good news. If something really happened, there would have been an uproar in the yamen long ago.

But on her way back, she heard a lot of discussions on the street, saying that Luan Jingfu's house had been ransacked.

It was also heard that the county magistrate came into the city early in the morning, leading a horse with two corpses hanging on it.

"Right away? Two bodies?" Liu Eying was in a bad mood and her steps became faster and faster unconsciously. She wanted to go to Cai's house and ask her for clarification.

As Liu Eying walked, tears began to flow from her eyes...
