Zhou Xuan directly went forward and grabbed the mask off "Xu Yue's" face.
Wasn't this the face of the tea girl?
"It really is you!" Zhou Xuan threw the mask in his hand and grabbed the other person's jaw.
The tea girl, named Xuan'er, was very delicate and pretty.
"Xuan'er, why did you harm the Xu family?" Baili Lie shouted angrily!
"This is enough! All of you, do you want to anger me to death?"
"Giving you such high wages, and in the end, you're all spies? Do you think this is a spy game?"
Baili Lie was so angry he was hopping.
Xuan'er lowered her head and sneered, saying nothing.
At this moment, Mother Xu and Father Xu were embracing each other, shedding silent tears.
"Why did you use her face? Why?"
"Why? I want to ask, why didn't you help when you could have?"
"What are you talking about? We don't understand!"
Xuan'er's head suddenly lifted, "Stop pretending. If it wasn't for your Xu family, our Li family would never have ended up like this!"
"The Li family?"
"Are you Li Xuan, the daughter of the Shangjing Li family?"
"Indeed! The person in charge of Yaowang Tang, Li Ming, is my uncle."
At this point, Zhou Xuan finally understood why Li Ming harbored such inexplicable hostility towards him.
Xu Ying and he exchanged glances, a single thought echoing in their minds.
Was all of this Li Ming's doing?
"You're quite honest. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Baili Lie shoved her down and then ordered someone to tie her up.
Li Xuan's eyes were filled with fury as she screamed wildly, "Xu Haisong, you scoundrel, may you die a terrible death!"
"I will have my uncle avenge me and plunge the Xu family into eternal damnation!"
Zhou Xuan frowned. "Baili Lie, let her explain how the Xu family harmed her. You, young lady, you're so young, perhaps you're being used as a pawn."
Who knew that Li Xuan would not appreciate his words at all. She spat at him and glared at him fiercely.
"Pah! Zhou Xuan, do you think you're the only one with deep-seated grudges?"
"Since you hate them so much, why didn't you act before?"
"Do you think I didn't want to act? If it wasn't for..."
"If it wasn't for what?" Zhou Xuan interrupted her indignant words.
Li Xuan cast him a sideways glance.
Zhou Xuan turned his face, "Tsk, you, a delicate young lady, stop looking at people like that, it's quite creepy."
"Pah! If Xu Yue hadn't saved me once, I... I would never have let you go!"
Zhou Xuan suddenly understood, "I knew you still couldn't bring yourself to be ruthless. Before, you didn't act against Xu Haisong, nor did you let Aunt Xu die directly, it's still because you remember Xu Yue saving you before?"
"The haunting incident at their place, was that your doing?"
Li Xuan remained silent, tacitly admitting it.
Xu Haisong and his wife exchanged glances.
Xu Ying stepped forward and walked towards Li Xuan in disbelief.
"How did you know my sister? My sister passed away many years ago..."
"Heh, I don't know how people from the same Xu family could be so different. Xu Yue is kind-hearted, while all of you are worse than beasts."
Xu Ying's face turned cold. "At least Xu Yue saved you, didn't she? Besides, what's the use of your fierce words? We didn't do anything. If you're seeking revenge, at least find the right target."
"Yes, Li Xuan, you're very strange. Since Xu Yue was also raised by Father Xu and Mother Xu, it proves that the Xu family is not a difficult family to get along with. Think about it, could there be some misunderstanding?" Baili Lie analyzed.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Do you really think I, Li Xuan, am brainless? Now that I'm a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs, and you've caught me, you can kill or skin me as you please." Li Xuan said resentfully!
"Miss Li, I think you've misunderstood. Our Xu family and your Li family have never had any grievances. Could it be that you listened to certain people with ulterior motives who drove a wedge between us?" Xu Haisong tried to persuade her, mainly because he truly didn't know how the Xu family had offended the Li family.
"Tell us, if it was indeed our Xu family who did it, we would not deny it. If our Xu family truly harmed your Li family, we will compensate you for all your past losses, without any jest."
"Will you compensate me with your lives too?" Li Xuan sneered.
"Of course, a life for a life, that is the fairest justice in the world," Xu Haisong stated resolutely.
Li Xuan, whether struck by Xu Haisong's words or stimulated by his candid attitude, felt that someone like Xu Haisong shouldn't be a scoundrel. However, villains, of course, never have the word "villain" written on their faces. Perhaps Xu Haisong or these Xu family members were hypocritical and good at disguising themselves. Li Xuan fell into a dilemma.
"Alright, since you say a life for a life, you said it yourselves. If I reveal everything from the past, and the Xu family doesn't honor their word, who will I appeal to?"
Xu Ying stepped forward. "I swear to the heavens on behalf of our Xu family that we will never shirk our responsibilities. Tell us, if it was truly our Xu family that committed evil deeds, I will not conceal or protect them. I will even uphold justice against them. I keep my word. However, if it was not our Xu family, I hope you will also reveal the mastermind who is creating discord between us, so I can know who is targeting our Xu family."
"Of course, my parents ran a small medicine shop. By chance, they obtained a thousand-year-old ginseng, and many other rare goods. If it wasn't for you Xu family members robbing us of the thousand-year-old ginseng and other goods, my parents wouldn't have died with hatred, and now our medicine shop has been taken over by your Xu family. From a young lady worth tens of millions, I became an unwanted orphan. I must avenge this hatred."
"If it wasn't for my uncle Li Ming adopting me and raising me to this age, I wouldn't be able to avenge my parents and seek justice for our family against the villains of the past!" Li Xuan said, beginning to weep bitterly.
Zhou Xuan was very calm, as if the other party's tears had no effect on him.
"Since you keep saying that the Xu family robbed your family of goods, committed murder, destroyed evidence, and even took over your medicine shop, who did you hear all this from? Do you have any evidence to prove that the Xu family did it? As far as I know, the Xu family has always disdained to do such things. Moreover, the Xu family of that year was already beyond the reach of small medicine shops like yours. I ask you, why would a large family with prospects and development trends go out of its way to rob a thousand-year-old ginseng from a small medicine shop? Don't you find this very contradictory?"
