"Why would I cheat you? If you don't believe me, you can ask other women in the village! Oh right, aren't you familiar with that girl Tingting? Just ask her and it'll be settled." Su Ping said to me again.

  When Su Ping said this to me, my eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

  Seeing me frowning, Su Ping's eyes rolled and she asked me: "You said that the witch was searching in the village for three or four days? Then who told you that the witch was searching in the village for three or four days? Was it Han Feiyan?"

  When Su Ping asked me like this, I gave her a white eye and said, "What's it to you? I think so myself, can't I?"

  Seeing me not giving her a good face, Su Ping huffed and said to me: "You think I'm eager to ask you!" Then Su Ping's tone changed again and she whispered to me: "Hey! Why don't you come to my place and sit for a bit? I've prepared lots of delicious food for you! Guaranteed to make your appetite open wide."

  "Come on! Are you preparing a good meal for me or are you going to eat me instead? Huh? I'm puzzled, we've both been doing that thing, can't the witch see it?"

  I clearly remember Han Feiyan telling me that the village women's nighttime activities could be seen by the witch, and now it seems that this is also one of Han Feiyan's lies to me?

  Seeing me ask like this, Su Ping said with a pleased smile: "Maybe others can't escape the witch's law eyes, but I'm an exception! How about it, do you want to..."

  Su Ping hadn't finished speaking, but I interrupted her and said: "Don't even think about it, this storm has just passed, and I don't want to make things worse. If you can't take it, go find a carrot for yourself!"

  After finishing speaking, I patted my butt and left...

  To be honest, I'm not in the mood to deal with Su Ping right now. My mind is full of question marks. If what Su Ping told me was true, why did Han Feiyan lock me up in the basement for so many days? I'm a bit confused.

  After I left Su Ping, taking advantage of the night, I came to Tingting's home.

  After I arrived at Tingting's home, I saw Tingting standing alone by the window on the second floor, gazing out. I found that Tingting hadn't been seen for several days, and her complexion had clearly become somewhat melancholy. It seems that Tingting still can't let go of having her precious treasure taken away...

  As soon as I arrived, Tingting said to me: "I haven't seen you for several days, where did you go? Oh, right, Auntie Wu mentioned a few days ago that something big happened in the village, someone broke her rules, and she made a big fuss in the village. You're not the one who broke her rules, are you? What did you do?"

  I smiled and said, "Anyway, I just discovered a little secret about her. Specifically, I won't say it. By the way, Tingting, let me tell you something. Your guess might be true. Who knows, maybe the Tan Nu you're raising will become that kind of powerful, painless monster next to the witch."

  "What? Really?" Tingting exclaimed in surprise.

  "It's unclear whether it's true or not, but it seems possible. Oh! Let's not talk about useless things anymore, I'll ask you something. Do you know how many days the witch searched for the person who broke her rules in the village?"

  Seeing me ask this, Tingting looked at me with a curious expression and said: "Why would you ask such a question? The witch checked all the villagers that day and left after finishing in the evening, and then she didn't check anything else!"

  "Which means that the witch didn't show up in the village for the past three or four days?" I confirmed.

  "No!" Tingting replied.

  When Tingting answered me like that, I knew Su Ping didn't cheat me. Looking at it this way, there's only one possibility - Han Feiyan is cheating on me!

  Why did Han Feiyan deceive me?

  Why did she say that the witch was searching around the village for three or four days and made me suffocate in the basement for three or four days?

  I couldn't figure out what was going on, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. So I said goodbye to Tingting and left, following me directly back to Han Feiyan's house in a huff.

  When I arrived at Han Feiyan's home, she had already changed into a nightgown and looked quite alluring. Her face was also tinged with fatigue, as if she were about to go to sleep.

  As soon as I entered, Han Feiyan was taken aback and followed her in asking me: "Why have you come back again?"

  She looked at me with a curious face, I directly sat on the chair beside her and asked her in an angry tone: "Speak up, why did you cheat me?"

  "What did I lie to you about? What do you mean by that? I didn't understand what you're saying?" Han Feiyan showed an innocent expression.

  "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, the fortune teller only stayed in the village for a day and left, but you told me she was there for three or four days. What's your intention? Are you trying to keep me trapped in this basement and play tricks on me?"

  "Oh? Who told you that? Was it because you saw Su Ping and she told you?" Han Feiyan directly mentioned Su Ping to me.

  "Don't think everything is related to Su Ping, I got this news from Tingting, and she can't deceive me. Tell me! Did you deceive me?"

  As I explained this to her, Han Feiyan's face changed color and she let out a sigh, saying: "Alright, you're right. I did deceive you. There are three main reasons why I did so."

  "There are three reasons? Go ahead and say it." I retorted through gritted teeth.

  "The first reason, the old witch is a weirdo who does things in a strange and unpredictable way. Although she only came to check on you for one day and then left, I'm afraid that in between, she might have made another move, and if you were to come out again at that time, it would be disastrous. So, just to be safe, I kept you locked up for a few more days."

  "What about the second one?" I asked again.

  "It's a good thing you're staying in the basement, just in case the witch secretly investigates on her own and finds out about Dumb Girl, who I've already called back. You wouldn't want to run into trouble, so this is also for your safety."

  "Alright! You make sense on that one, what about the third?" I asked again.

  When I asked her the third question, Han Feiyan hesitated for a moment and finally gritted her teeth and said to me: "Originally, the third reason was that I wanted you to find out for yourself, but who knew you didn't find it out by yourself. Never mind, then I'll take you back to the basement again and you'll know."

  When Han Feiyan said this to me, I could clearly see a hint of struggle from her actions and expressions, as if she didn't want to say it but had no choice.

  "Back to the basement?" I asked in confusion.

  "This is the third reason, and also the main reason why I wanted to keep you in the basement for two more days. It has a lot to do with this reason. You must have seen the quartz clock hanging on the wall of the stone hall in the basement?"

  "Oh! You mean that clock? I saw it, what's up?" I asked.

  "Don't you think there's something wrong with that clock?"

  "There's a problem? Oh! Yes, it's a bit off, the clock is hung so low, it doesn't seem quite right. And you've fixed that clock with three nails, which makes me feel particularly uncomfortable. Also, the back of the clock is bulging, as if there's something behind it." I recalled the situation I saw before and said to Han Feiyan.

  "Oh? So you've noticed?"

  "Of course I can see it, I'm telling you, with my observational skills, I'm not bragging, in ancient times, I would be Judge Bao or Di Renjie. In a foreign country, that would make me Sherlock Holmes..."

  Hearing me boast about myself, Han Feiyan gave me a white eye and then said to me: "Since you've figured it out, why don't you study it carefully or take down that clock to take a look? Anyway, you have nothing to do in the basement. The two books I gave you before, you said you weren't interested, obviously you wouldn't read them. My purpose was to give you these two books you're not interested in, so that you would be bored and study this clock."

  "Too lazy to take action, how is that? Is the purpose of this to make me study that clock? Is there some kind of mystery hidden inside it?" I asked her.

  "Wait till I take you there and you'll know." Han Feiyan said to me.

  After we arrived at the basement, after Han Feiyan took me to where the clock was hung, under Han Feiyan's manipulation, I finally understood the mystery inside. However, Han Feiyan did this, making my understanding of this old woman even deeper. Now, I really can't grasp it, whether she is a good person or a bad person, what kind of plan she has in mind, and what she wants to prove in front of me?......
