GBP Chapter 245 Revenge
Chapter 245 Revenge
On this day, Li Zong was taking medicine in the study when Xiao Bao suddenly came in mysteriously and told him that Cuixiangyuan sold magic medicine, but it was very expensive.
"Any price is fine, just go buy it for me."
"I heard it costs one thousand taels of silver. And you have to buy ten."
Xiaobao suggested that he go to Cuixiangyuan to try the medicine and buy it if it works.
Li Zong hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Cuixiangyuan at night.
The madam of Cuixiangyuan had a face full of makeup. She looked at the shy Li Zong with an extraordinary demeanor, and at first glance she knew he was a nobleman. She enthusiastically took him to a superior private room and called over a few beautiful girls.
Li Zong blushed, and the little security guard cleverly whispered something in the madam's ear. The madam immediately understood and smiled as she led the girls away. A moment later, she led in an incredibly beautiful woman holding a brocade box.
The woman opened the brocade box and asked Li Zong to take one pill. If it worked, he could pay and take the remaining nine pills.
The madam was very proud: "Our magic medicine is made of only the finest tonic herbs. Collecting and preparing each herb takes a lot of time, so it's justified in its high price."
Li Zong took it and swallowed it in one gulp. Everyone watched his reaction. Seeing his face flushed, it must have worked. The madam signaled Xiao Bao to follow her out first! She didn't forget to close the door before leaving.
Li Zong enjoyed himself to the fullest here, thanks to the magic medicine's effectiveness and the woman's exceptional service. He was very satisfied and pleasantly surprised, as at least he could still be humane.
He slept there until the afternoon, and then left contentedly with the remaining nine pills.
He couldn't wait to eat one in the evening, but Madam Xiao didn't understand men as well as the women in the brothel. Li Zong's experience was halved. Madam Xiao felt very uncomfortable and even felt that he was a little perverted.
Li Zong slept for another day. When he woke up, Xiao Bao found that his eye sockets were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, and his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Xiao Bao was worried: "Master, you can't use this medicine too frequently. Try again after a few days. This may be very harmful to your body."
Li Zong endured for three days and took another pill. Mrs. Xiao refused to have sex with him on the pretext that she had her period. He then roughly pushed Mrs. Xiao onto the bed, stripped her clothes, and discovered that she had not had her period at all. He became furious and became even more violent. He tortured Mrs. Xiao so badly that she could not get out of bed for two days.
He went to the country village again, wanting to regain his lost face.
So every night, the sound of a woman howling like a ghost could be heard from Zhuangzi's room, and Aunt Lan's mother felt sorry for her daughter when she heard it outside.
Afterwards, she went into her daughter's room and saw her curled up in the corner of the bed, covered in wounds. Her nose felt sore and she cursed Li Zong, saying he was not a human being but a beast.
"Mom, let's leave here. I don't want anything. He's not a human being. He's crazy. I don't know what kind of medicine he took. It's too scary."
Aunt Lan advised her daughter to be patient. How could they survive without money?
"Mother, I have three hundred taels of silver. If I spend it sparingly, I can survive.
Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince were almost ready to leave the capital. Their luggage was packed, and some had already been shipped to their fiefdoms. Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince would spend the next few days visiting various mansions to say goodbye.
News about Li Zong trickled in from time to time, but it didn't matter anymore, because he was crippled. Chunni had run away, and Aunt Lan had stolen ten thousand taels of silver from Li Zong, money he'd been saving for medicine, and she'd taken her mother and daughter away, heading to a place where no one knew them, where they could live out the rest of their lives in peace. It was a wise choice.
Li Zong's body became thin very quickly. Now he is so skinny that he looks very scary.
No matter how much medicine he took, Madam Xiao was unwilling to serve him. Instead, she ordered the servants to tie Li Zong's hands and feet and lock him up in the courtyard where Aunt Lan lived. Madam Xiao spread the word that the master was ill and had to be locked up.
He would be consulted by a doctor every three to five days, and no one would suspect anything when the doctor spoke up.
That day, the capital city was in a state of torrential downpour, the downpour pouring down like a bucket, which was quite frightening. The maid from the Li Mansion ran to Madam Xiao to tell her that her master had disappeared.
Madam Xiao looked at the rolling rain outside and smiled softly: "The rain is too heavy. Let's send a few people to look for it when the rain stops."
Ten miles outside the city, beside Qin Yuruo's grave, a man knelt in front of the grave, digging with his hands, with a long sword shining coldly at his neck.
A woman's cold voice pierced the rain like a sword: "Qin Yurou, rest in peace! Li Zong, this is what you deserve."
The next day, after the rain, the autumn sun was shining brightly. Someone found a man lying in the mud. When they turned him over, they were shocked. He looked like neither human nor ghost. They quickly reported it to the police.
Madam Xiao sent a servant to fetch Li Zong from the government office and clean him up. He was extremely quiet, his eyes blank. At the slightest noise, he would put his hands on his head and say, "Don't kill me. It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
On the way to the fiefdom, more than a dozen carriages were lined up in a long queue, with the carriage in the middle being the widest and largest.
Ye Youlan lay in the Seventh Prince's arms: "Do you still want to hear that secret?"
"I think I've figured it out. I can understand some of the paintings you drew."
"Are you afraid?"
"I love you no matter who you are, and I'm so glad you chose me."
Mrs. Ye was very disappointed when she learned that her daughter and son-in-law had quietly left the capital. She didn't know when she would see them again.
Prime Minister Ye comforted his wife: "The emperor said that they can come back once every three years."
Madam Ye choked up and said, "Three years, not three days."
"I'll accompany you to see Youlan next year, okay?"
"Forget it, it's hard to take your words seriously. We'll talk about it later."
General Ye's son, Ye Junlin, was two years old and very sturdy. Every day he would ask his mother, "I want to see my sister. Where is Yueyue?"
Yuhua coaxed him: "Auntie has a little brother."
"But she is not Yueyue!"
"When you grow up, Yueyue will come back."
Chen Xiaoling would take her fat boy to play with Ruoyun or Miaoyu. They would get together to talk about the children, and then think about Youlan.
"Three years later, if Youlan doesn't come back, how about we go see her together?"
Ruoyun thought, in three years, Jinbao will be fifteen, and he will be able to support a family by then, right? She really wanted to go out for a walk.
"Okay, we'll go together then."
The palace's carriage stopped and started along the way.
Yueyue was little, so when she was tired, she would find an inn to stay in. We would continue our journey after she had rested and had enough fun. The journey that was supposed to take eight days took a month to complete.
The Seventh Prince's fiefdom consisted of three places: Linzhou, Qingzhou, and Gucheng.
In order to help Ye Youlan and her children adapt to life in the fiefdom, they chose to settle down in Gucheng, a city with a better environment. It was close to Linzhou and Qingzhou.
The palace had sent people to clean up early, so when they arrived in Gucheng, they saw the palace in a brand new look.
