662 Incident (1)
Huai Sheng opened the door. As soon as they entered, an extremely strong smell of alcohol hit them. Shen Miao couldn’t help but frown. Seeing Shen Miao frown, Huai Sheng seemed to be a little embarrassed. He ran to the other side and took out a candle to light it.
The light was lit up, illuminating everything in the room. A middle-aged man was lying on the bed. This man was very thin and weak. Even his skin was sallow. At this moment, he was snoring.
Huai Sheng looked at the two people in front of him uneasily. The woman said, “Wake him up.”
Huai Sheng nodded and walked to the man’s side. He shook the man gently and whispered, “Father, Father, someone is here.”
The man did not react at first. Then, as if he was a little annoyed by Huai Sheng’s shaking, he subconsciously slapped him and cursed, “Why are you shouting in the middle of the night?”
Huai Sheng instinctively closed his eyes, but the slap did not land on him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his father’s terrified gaze. The beautiful young man, who had arrived at the bed at some point, was holding the man’s throat with his slender hand.
Huai Sheng was anxious, afraid, and worried. In the end, he suppressed his fear and said, “My father didn’t mean to offend you! Please spare his life!”
Shen Miao glanced at the man who was so frightened that he instantly lost his sleepiness and said calmly, “Let go of him.”
Only then did Xie Jingxing let go.
Huai Sheng was scared.
His father knelt on the ground and looked at the two people in front of him, his body trembling uncontrollably. He probably sensed the danger emanating from the two of them, especially the man.
Shen Miao asked, “Are you Tian Li?”
Tian Li nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Shen Miao glanced at Tian Li. It was said that when he was young, Tian Li was also a handsome and charming scholar. He was talented, which was why he won Chang Zaiqing’s heart and the two of them became husband and wife. However, later on, after failing the imperial examinations several times, he gradually developed a sense of self-loathing. He stayed in gambling dens and taverns, getting drunk and gambling. Chang Zaiqing hated such a life, so she left home. Looking at Tian Li now, she could vaguely understand why Chang Zaiqing would leave him. There was no longer any trace of the elegance of a scholar in him. The person in front of her was clearly a drunkard.
“Is Chang Zaiqing your wife?” Shen Miao asked.
Hearing this, Tian Li suddenly trembled and looked up at Shen Miao. Even though he had tried his best to hide it, Shen Miao could still see the anger and humiliation in his eyes.
“Don’t worry. I’m not Chang Zaiqing’s friend. If you have any thoughts, feel free to tell me,” Shen Miao said.
Tian Li looked at Shen Miao seriously, as if he was confirming if what Shen Miao said was true. Shen Miao looked straight into his eyes without avoiding. After a while, Tian Li spat on the ground and said, “That b*tch ran away with my money! Shameless!”
Huai Sheng shuddered, his eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
Shen Miao’s gaze landed on Huai Sheng and she said, “Huai Sheng, go to the courtyard. Your father and I have something to talk about.”
Huai Sheng glanced at Shen Miao and then at Tian Li. In the end, he did not say anything and quietly took a blanket and left.
After Huai Sheng left, Shen Miao asked Tian Li to explain the situation.
Just like what the people Shen Miao sent had found out, Chang Zaiqing’s husband was Tian Li. Chang Zaiqing was a talented girl, and Tian Li was also a talented scholar. Tian Li’s family also had a few shops. Although they were by no means affluent, they were able to afford a comfortable life.
