377 Time for Interrogation

Lory and Zhao Li Xin held hands as they ran towards the Qian Hua courtyard. It took them a while to get there since the courtyard was the farthest one out. They were a great raucous as they could hear screams as they got closer to the courtyard. Lory hastened her pace with worry but Zhao Li Xin pushed her behind him out of reflex. Something flew past them and hit the tree behind them as they entered the gate.

Lory was startled. She exchanged a quick glance with Zhao Li Xin and slowly turned to look behind her. The tree broke into half and a woman landed on the ground face first.

Lory could tell the woman was one of Qian Mu Ting's maids from her uniform. The maid who was once young and beautiful had been beaten beyond recognition. Lory wondered who was cruel enough to mess up a beautiful face.
