Chapter 2007: Chapter 181: The Unsolvable Mystery
Instinctively, she felt that it was her hair and that it could not fall into the hands of others. But where did this thought come from?
Why was she so cautious?
Just then, through the red gauze, she heard some people talking.
"What a pity!"
Someone sighed, "Brother Tao and Lady Su had been saving up Silver for so long, were just about to gain his freedom, and now this happened!"
"People say prostitutes are heartless and actors are unfaithful. Outsiders always assume we people of romance are unchaste, but who knows the loyalty in our hearts?"
"Brother Tao is indeed pitiable. Sold into Shangcui Tower by his heartless Old Lady at a young age, he met Lady Su, who was poor but shared a deep affection with him. They thought that once he gained his freedom, they could live a stable life, but alas, fate did not favor them, and now this happened."
Happened?
What happened?
Dong Huiying was utterly bewildered, then suddenly realized her clothes were disheveled. Almost instinctively, she raised her hand and placed her fingertips on her pulse.
Did she know medical skill?
This thought popped into her mind, pressing down the pondering deep inside, and then patiently diagnosing herself.
She seemed so strange.
Her body seemed somewhat weak, not due to external injuries, but...burnout? And this weakness appeared to be mental.
Could this be related to her blurred memory?
Immediately, she pulled off the bedding and calmly checked. After confirming there were no traces of lovemaking, she casually grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on. This garment seemed to belong to "Brother Tao," slightly large on her, it was a light pink with peach blossoms embroidered on the cuffs.
She lifted the red gauze curtain, got off the bed, and surveyed the surroundings. She saw Brother Tao’s corpse laid out on the floor.
At the doorway, someone pointed at her accusingly, claiming she occupied and forced him to death, among other things.
But, "How strange. What are you all talking about? I have no relationship with him, I didn’t touch him!"
"Still lying!"
Someone viciously accused Dong Huiying, she looked thoroughly confused.
"What lying? I am innocent! Stop this nonsense before I accuse you of slander."
Slander?
Where did this word come from?
No, she’s so confused, many memories missing, occasionally some scenes flashed in her mind, but they were bizarre, some were modern, others ancient and quaint.
She seemed to be full of mysteries.
And, what exactly happened, why did she forget?
An unsolvable mystery!
...
A turmoil brewed at Shangcui Tower; a prostitute hanged herself, causing quite the stir.
Even before Dong Huiying regained consciousness, someone had already informed the City Guard.
"Brother Tao!"
The City Guard dressed in armor, carrying swords, exuding an awe-inspiring, gallant aura.
Among them, a woman with a worn hem showed beneath her armor, hinting at her impoverished background.
She led the charge into Shangcui Tower, upon seeing Brother Tao’s body covered in white cloth, she dropped to her knees with a thud, then quickly scrambled towards the corpse, ripping away the cloth to reveal Brother Tao’s bloodless face.
Brother Tao wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, not the extraordinary kind, but he was notably lovely.
Just looking at his appearance...
