Wu Qingling kept crying out in pain and begging for mercy, but the person who did it seemed like he couldn't hear her.
She really felt that the beating was extremely unfair, and she didn't want to deal with anyone. It was all Sun Kunshan's idea. She also told the story during the break between the beatings. Mrs. Gu remained unmoved.
Seeing this, she finally understood that Mrs. Gu didn't care whose idea it was, she just wanted to find a reason to vent her anger.
Mrs. Gu was not afraid of causing trouble, but with Cha Miyue watching over her in the house, she had to restrain herself. Seeing that Wu Qingling was vomiting blood and was covered with injuries all over her body, she looked unnatural. If the beating continued, she might really have to deal with funeral arrangements. She just
Tell people to stop.
Wu Qingling was beaten so hard that she barely had the strength to speak.
Gu was finally satisfied and went in again to warn Sun Kunshan: "Keep an eye on that woman. If she still dares to pester my son, neither of you will have an easy time."
Sun Kunshan had already heard the commotion outside, and he did not dare to openly oppose the Gu family, so he quickly agreed.
Mrs. Gu led a large group of people away, and the courtyard returned to silence. After a while, when Sun Kunshan heard something moving outside, he couldn't help shouting: "Qing Ling?"
After shouting several times, a weak female voice came.
Sun Kunshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you mind? It's so cold outside. Come inside quickly."
Wu Qingling couldn't get up at all, and couldn't crawl. She could only move her fingers. Unknowingly, tears had fallen all over her face: "I...I can't move..."
If Sun Kunshan was not injured, he would not hesitate to help her in. But when he moved, his whole body hurt and he couldn't move at all. He frowned: "What should I do?"
If you lie outside in this kind of weather for a night, you will definitely get sick. You are already injured. If you catch a cold again, your life may be at stake.
"Find someone to help." Wu Qingling didn't want to die, so she held on and said: "The county boss...she definitely doesn't want to see us die..."
Sun Kunshan also knew this. Cha Miyue had been supporting them in their fight against the Chen family. Seeing that they were seriously injured, he would definitely help them.
But the problem is, how can they report to the inner court in the middle of the night?
In fact, there was no need to report the news. Chu Yunli had been sending people to keep an eye on the activities in their yard secretly. However, the news she got at night was not reported until she woke up in the morning.
The maid said plausibly: "I think this is not worth disturbing your sleep."
Chu Yunli adjusted the hairpin on her head and said with a smile: "Bring me the breakfast. After we finish eating, let's go take a look. By the way, give Chen Nankang a copy of the news."
She was not in a hurry, and it was already half an hour later when she went out. When she arrived at the gate of Sun Kunshan's courtyard, she saw a lot of people standing inside.
Obviously, Chen Nankang arrived first.
Chu Yunli led the people in slowly, and saw the doctor in the mansion diagnosing Wu Qingling's pulse. At this moment, she was dying, and the light in her eyes was much dimmed.
The doctor stopped his hand and said: "I have suffered from cold and injuries on my body. This... is not easy to cure."
Chu Yunli stepped in: "What a shame."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over. Chen Nankang frowned: "What are you doing?" When he asked the question, he felt that what he said was nonsense. Cha Miyue just didn't like the Chen family and deliberately acted against him.
.Anyway, she had to save the people the Chen family wanted to deal with.
So, he turned to ask: "What do you mean by this?"
"In order to save her, you used thousand-year-old ginseng." Chu Yunli shook his head: "That is a good thing that has a price but no market. If she is gone, it will be the ginseng."
Chen Nankang: "..." It seems to make sense.
However, he did not save Wu Qingling for the sake of ginseng, but because of his past love. In any case, Wu Qingling blocked the knife for him, and the injury was to a vital point. It was really a narrow escape. Just look at this intention,
He couldn't just let her die.
"Just do your best to treat him."
Wu Qingling looked at the roof, feeling numb in her heart. She was not grateful to Chen Nankang for calling the doctor to treat her.
If this man really meant it, if he really wanted to protect her, why didn't he find someone to keep an eye on her secretly? He sent a message to Gu the moment he showed up? Now that she is dying and has only one breath left, he is pretending again
He came to save me, why should she be grateful?
The doctor hesitated for a moment: "If the remaining thousand-year-old ginseng used last time could be used as medicine, I would be more confident."
Chen Nankang was speechless: "That ginseng..." Mrs. Gu took it away.
He knew that his mother would not be willing to use it to save Wu Qingling, so it was in vain for him to ask. He immediately said: "It has been given away."
The doctor looked regretful: "Then I can only try my best. Whether it will be good or not depends entirely on her life."
Wu Qingling's heart sank a little more. Even though it was painful to breathe, every breath was torture, and she wished she could pass out. She still didn't want to die.
She said weakly: "Nankang, don't save me, it's a waste!"
When Chen Nankang heard her words, he felt a little more guilty: "Don't worry about it, just rest in peace and recover."
After saying that, he walked away. Before going out, he thought of something and turned around and said, "Yue Niang, you won't hurt her, right?"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Don't worry, I am too timid to kill anyone. She has only one breath left, so I don't dare to move. Even if she doesn't move, she will probably have to take care of her funeral soon.
By the way, you two are going to grow old together... What a pity..."
Chen Nankang couldn't stand listening and quickly disappeared outside the yard.
Wu Qingling was lying on the couch, looking at Chu Yunli, her eyes full of pleading: "County Lord, you don't want me to die, right?"
"Where do you start talking about this?" Chu Yunli looked at her condescendingly and shook his head: "It's too miserable. When you eloped with Chen Nankang, did you ever think about it today?"
Wu Qingling closed her eyes. If she had known earlier, she would never have agreed to Sun Kunshan's ridiculous proposal. Instead, she would marry him and wait for him to take the imperial examination and become an official. Although she would not be rich and powerful, at least she would be able to live a stable life. Besides, marrying
It’s considered a good match for a new Jinshi... It’s just that she’s too greedy!
If she could do it over again, she would never do such a stupid thing.
"I regret..." Wu Qingling closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes: "County Master, I'm sorry!" She became weaker and weaker, and she couldn't pronounce every word when she spoke, but she still didn't want to give up: "Please
Help me get the thousand-year-old ginseng, if you ask... they won't refuse..."
"I'm not that generous." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "I told Sun Kunshan that day to find a way to move out quickly. I can't save people every time... No, I'm not willing to save people every time.
.I’m not in a good mood right now and don’t want to help.”
These words were willful and overbearing. Even though Wu Qingling had made up her mind to lower her body to ask for help, she was so angry by these words that she almost couldn't breathe.
"County Lord, please!"
Chu Yunli said funny: "When you kidnapped my fiancé, did you ever think that one day you would beg me?" Seeing that she didn't answer, he continued: "Were you very proud at the beginning? Chen Nankang didn't even want the county owner, so you gave up.
Even though you are a rich man, do you want to stay with you forever?"
Wu Qingling really had this idea at that time, and she was quite content with it. She pretended to be weak, closed her eyes and remained silent.
While they were talking, a maid prepared medicine and brought it to Wu Qingling.
Chu Yunli watched from the side and had no intention of leaving. Suddenly she heard the messy footsteps outside and the voice of greetings. Her eyes lit up, she found a comfortable chair to sit on, and took out a handful of melon seeds.
The person who came through the door was Mrs. Gu. She had a cold look on her face, and there was wind under her feet as she walked. After entering, she glanced at Sun Kunshan on the bed, and then cast her falcon-like gaze on Wu Qingling.
Sensing her viciousness, Wu Qing shivered vividly.
Mrs. Gu caught a glimpse of Chu Yunli out of the corner of her eye, and felt irritated. This person was so haunted. However, she couldn't drive him away, so she could only pretend not to see him. She said coldly: "I told you, don't pester me anymore."
Son, Wu Qingling, you think my wife has no temper, right?"
Wu Qingling opened his mouth.
Yesterday she was beaten until she was barely breathing, and she couldn't ask anyone for help. Chen Nankang did it on his own!
Of course, she was very happy for his arrival. Otherwise, she might be dead by now.
"I didn't call anyone."
Of course Mrs. Gu knew that they didn't go looking for her son, he came by himself... But wouldn't this make her even more angry?
There are so many women in the world who are better-looking and have much higher status than Wu Qingling. There is also a county head who is personally named by the emperor in the mansion, but the son seems to be invisible, walking all the way to the dark.
I have to get entangled with Wu Qingling.
"Are you trying to say that you are so charming that my son takes the initiative to pester you?"
Wu Qingling didn't dare to admit this. She wanted to defend herself, but she was too weak and couldn't say much at all.
"I don't dare!"
Mrs. Gu laughed angrily: "I think you are very brave." She turned her head and ordered: "I said before that the doctors in the mansion are not allowed to treat the two of them. Go and take back the medicine that has been prepared."
Wu Qingling: "..." I'm really going to die this time!
She was still suffering from a high fever, had no medicine to drink, and no one to take care of her. It was really the only way out for her to die.
Gu didn't stay too long and quickly took the maid and medicine away. Before leaving, she asked: "County Lord, do you still want to save them? These two people came for you in the first place. There are not so many people in the world."
Sincerely, Sun Kunshan’s love for you is all fake, he just wants to use you to climb up."
Sun Kunshan couldn't stand hearing it anymore. Regardless of whether this feeling was true or false, in front of Cha Miyue, this feeling could only be true.
That is the royal county master. If ordinary people dare to deceive him, they are simply seeking death!
"Madam is not a roundworm in my belly, how do you know I am not sincere?"
The words were sonorous, with a hint of questioning.
Gu smiled sarcastically: "Sun Kunshan, you are not the only smart person in the world. Of course, if the county leader wants to believe it, then no one can care about it. Whether she can save you or not is also her own business."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked away.
As soon as she left, the courtyard instantly emptied out. Sun Kunshan smiled bitterly: "The county boss is laughing."
Chu Yunli put the melon seed shell in her hand on the table and stood up: "It's really funny."
She took a step to leave, but the two people in the room panicked. Wu Qingling hurriedly said: "County Lord, won't you help us?"
"I won't help anymore." Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "Whether you can survive depends on your ability and God's will."
Wu Qingling: "..." Didn't it mean that Cha Miyue would definitely help them?
Sun Kunshan was also surprised: "County Lord, you clearly want us to go against the Chen family..."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I think so, but you guys are so unlucky that you can't hold up the wall. I'm too lazy to bother."
