Chapter 98
The group only stayed in Yuecheng for one day before returning. The newly picked medicinal materials had to be preliminarily processed, and they would probably stay in Ningcheng for two more days.

In the past two days, Qi Susu took Ji Wutian to wander around the city, looking at the pharmacy to see if there were any good medicinal materials that could be missed, and buying two delicious snacks from the roadside stalls to try something new. Inadvertently leading him in a very purposeful direction.

Ji Wutian couldn't help being curious when he noticed it, "Could it be that there is another patient who needs to be re-examined?"

"That's not true." Qi Susu took the clean veil from Qing Dai's hand and wiped her mouth, "I just went to see someone."

Ji Wutian noticed that the expressions of Qing Dai and Nan Xing, who were following behind, changed slightly as soon as this sentence came out, and he felt that the relationship between the person who was going to see and Qi Susu was not easy to deal with.

But recalling the news about Ning Cheng that the secret guard had checked before, it seemed that there was no one who opposed Qi Susu and caused trouble for her.

Until I walked to the side of a small alley in a civilian residential area, I happened to see a house with the door open, making a lot of noise. It seemed that the man in charge was cleaning up his wife.

The man had a fierce face, and he grabbed the woman's hair and slapped the woman unceremoniously. The latter cried and begged for mercy, but he didn't arouse the other party's pity at all. Instead, he cursed and beat more and more fiercely.

After Ji Wutian heard the man calling the woman's name, he suddenly remembered that there was indeed a person who had been missed in the news about Qi Susu in Ningcheng.

The dowry maid given by the Qi family, Liu Lu.

If there is no accident, it should be the woman who is being beaten in the small courtyard.

"What did she do that shouldn't be done?" Ji Wutian's questioning tone revealed affirmation.

Qi Susu's eyes still fell on Liu Lu who was beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Why don't you think I'm just trying to torture people?"

Ji Wutian looked at her deeply, and did not answer such an obvious question.

Given Qi Susu's status in the Qi family in the past, the dowry maid beside her must have been arranged by the mistress of the Qi family, Xie Anru. Given Xie Anru's dislike for her, how could the maid have any good intentions for her?
Qi Susu had no intention of trying to whet his appetite, "Intentioning to conceive my baby during my pregnancy, does it count as doing something that shouldn't be done? Putting chronic poison in my meals and birth-preserving medicine, does it count as doing something wrong?" What to do?"

Ji Wutian's face darkened in an instant, and he looked at the embarrassed woman in the yard with sharp eyes full of murderous intent, "How dare she!"

Qi Susu sneered, "Why don't you dare, I was just a poor little person who was rejected at that time, no one cared about it, but who would care if I really died in another village without a sound."

Ji Wutian didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was particularly gloomy, and then he grabbed her wrist violently, "You have been poisoned by chronic poison? Is there any physical hindrance?"

"Don't worry, it's okay. It's the old emperor's calendar a few years ago. With my medical skills, do you think that I help others treat and earn money all day long, but forget to take care of my own body?" Qi Susu looked at the undisguised worry in his eyes, He hooked his lips in a good mood.

Seeing her demeanor, Ji Wutian knew that the servant girl had no real influence on her, so she let go of her heart and quickly regained her composure, but her disgust towards the servant girl, the Qi family, and Xie Anru wavered Do not go.

"Why didn't you just deal with the person?" Ji Wutian asked, "You also found her a husband's family?"

Qi Susu said with a smile: "I suffered so many years before, and I couldn't get rid of the shadow of the Qi family even after I got married. If I deal with it casually, wouldn't it be cheaper for her?" When she just returned to the capital, the Qi family Looking for her back, Xie Anru questioned Liu Lu's whereabouts, and suspected that she had murdered her, hehe, she didn't.

What a pity to kill him, keep it in the future, maybe one day he will be the witness to drive Xie Anru into the abyss.

As for the in-laws...

"It's useless if you kill it, but I don't want to keep such a servant who always wants to deal with me. Xie Anru promised her that if she can make me live a bad life, she will even let me die silently in Ningcheng. , so I prepared a generous dowry for her, and found a good husband’s family to enjoy the wealth and honor for the rest of her life. At any rate, it is considered a master and servant. Since she wants to marry someone and live a good life, then I will help her find a ‘good husband’s family’.”

The husband Liu Lu was selected by her and Qingdai after a lot of effort. Not only is he a machismo, he doesn't allow others to resist him, he is also good at gambling, he has a history of domestic violence, and he beat two wives away. What's more, from a small rich family with some family background, now it has to live in a small courtyard with several other families.

Under such conditions, it is completely predictable what kind of life Liu Lu will live after marrying the other party.

Knowing that the person who wanted to harm her was in dire straits every day, she was relieved.

Just because of the scene she saw today, she can eat an extra bowl of rice when she goes back!

Ji Wutian looked at the servant girl who was beaten so hard that she started to fight back, crying loudly, as if she was on the verge of collapse, and wondered, "Aren't you afraid that she will sneak away and go back to the capital to find Xie Anru?"

"She doesn't have the guts." Qi Susu snorted softly.

Do you really think she is stupid, just let her out without taking any measures?

If Xie An could give her a chronic poison, wouldn't she be able to give the maid Liu Lu a drug so that the other party would not dare to joke about her own life?

After listening to her explaining various reasons, Ji Wutian was relieved, and fell silent again.

Whether it was yesterday's Chai Hu couple, or the dowry maid Liu Lu, Ji Wutian suddenly realized that in the five years he had never participated in, many things and troubles that he did not understand happened around her. I'm afraid it's not just the threat from the maid.

The hidden guards can find some traces that can be found in Ningcheng and Yuecheng in the past two years, but they may not be able to find traces in the longer-term details.

What's more, so what if you find out?The things that have happened and the losses that have been suffered will eventually become the past, and he can't give her any help or bring about any changes.

"Stop beating, stop beating, I know I'm wrong-!" In the yard, Liu Lu was still crying, her forehead and the corners of her mouth were bleeding from the violent man's beating, she looked fine In embarrassment, one eye was swollen all over.

She dodged around in the small courtyard, trying to avoid the men's beatings that followed her everywhere. While dodging, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qi Susu's group standing not far from the courtyard, and her numb eyes instantly burst into intense light. When the light came, her strong desire to survive made her rush to the door, shouting loudly: "I know I was wrong——! Help me, save me! Little—"

"Smelly bitch! Still want to run--!?" The man behind grabbed her messy hair before she intended to run out of the yard, and slammed his mouth fiercely at her already red and swollen cheeks. "I didn't spend money to marry you, but I didn't come back to make you think about running away all day long!"

Qi Susu outside the door watched coldly, as if he didn't see the pleading in Liu Lu's eyes, instead he pulled Ji Wutian to turn around and leave, "Okay, I'll go back after watching enough drama."

Liu Lu watched helplessly as the only person in her heart who could save her from suffering left, while the man who grabbed her and beat her closed the courtyard door forcefully, as if locking her last hope with a bang.

The man was still cursing and cursing: "A maid who was dismissed by the master, put on airs and pretend to be a nobleman all day long, and still look down on me? I am a good citizen after all, but you are just a lowly servant. I am willing to treat you I bought it to marry you as a wife, so you can have fun secretly! Hurry up and cook for me! There is also the money you earned from working out before, take it out! I will gamble again later! This I will definitely win a vote!"

Liu Lu listened to the man saying the same thing every day, and thought that this bastard not only lost the little coppers she had worked so hard to save in the gambling house, but also sold the poor furniture and other valuable things at home, As a result, the family became more and more empty, and even the next month's rent was a problem. Under several pressures, he finally broke down and shouted, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Kill me! Ahhh—"

"Slap!" The man slapped him hard again, and spat in displeasure, "Shut up for me! Why are you screaming! It's against you, isn't it!"

"Woooooo-"

The neighbors in the left and right houses have long been used to the two quarrels for two days, and three days for a big quarrel. Liu Lu's delicate face has not been perfect for a day since she married a man. The neighbors are not pitiful. She, however, had difficulty in maintaining her own livelihood, so no one would mind her own business, she closed the door to live her own life, as if she didn't hear the howling outside.

After returning to Biezhuang, Qi Susu keenly noticed that Ji Wutian's mood seemed not right.

If you are dissatisfied with her handling methods, I think it is too cold-blooded... It doesn't look like it, how can Ji Wutian be such a "holy father", and think that he should be lenient to those who want to harm him?
Until the night before going to sleep, Ji Wutian unexpectedly took her hand and rubbed it lightly. Under her surprised gaze, he asked her in a very serious tone: "Did you blame me for the past five years?"

Qi Susu, who was about to fall asleep, yawned and said without hesitation, "Of course I complain."

"..."

Although knowing this answer is a matter of course, but Ji Wutian's heart was still unavoidably suffocated, as if his chest had been poked hard with a sharp weapon, and there was a thin stinging pain.

Qi Susu didn't care whether he was uncomfortable or not, and said bluntly: "I didn't do it voluntarily that night. It's fine if I lost my virginity for nothing, and I was caught with a bun. I wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate and go back, but when I woke up But it’s already in the Biezhuang in Ningcheng, you say I’m not angry!?” He didn’t even get a chance to retaliate on the spot!
