Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 138 Frankness

Liu Yuechu's words shocked everyone.

They couldn't imagine that a gentle woman who always had a smile on her face could speak so ruthlessly!

If it were a man sent to the county government, it would be fine, since he's tough and resilient. But if a young woman were sent to the county government, not only would she be subject to punishment, but she would also lose all her dignity!

Liu Yueliu was so shocked her eyes almost popped out. "Do you know what you're saying? You're going to send me to the county government? Liu Yuechu, do you even know that I'm your sister, not just an ordinary stranger!"

She couldn't believe Liu Yuechu would treat her like this!

Aren't you afraid of being criticized for being cold and heartless, and being cursed for being cruel and heartless, and having all the good reputation you've built up ruined because of it?!

Liu Yuechu no longer cared about these things, and she also understood what true friendship was.

"Sister? What kind of sister would throw boiling hot soup at her own sister? Tell me, don't you think it's ridiculous of you to talk to me about family ties now?"

Liu Yue pointed at the peppercorns, "The soup didn't spill on you, it spilled on that girl!"

"That's because Sichuan pepper risked its life to block it for me. What if it hadn't?"

That person covered in blisters all over her body and face would be her. Liu Yuechu would never let this go unpunished just because she managed to escape by chance!

"But you weren't burned!" Liu Yueliu couldn't accept it at all. She could also tell that Liu Yuechu wasn't deliberately trying to scare her. "You're actually going to send your own sister to jail for a maid! You'll definitely die a horrible death!"

There was a "pop" sound!

A whip cracked and struck Liu Yueliu.

Liu Yueliu hadn't expected to be beaten, and rolled away in pain. Yuan Cuo arrived in a carriage, urging them to get in quickly.

"I have prepared some wound medicine in the bookstore. We need to go there as soon as possible. It would be bad if Huajiao had a scar on his face. Also, your hand needs to be treated!"

He got out of the car and helped Liu Yuechu get into the car, then threw the medicine he had picked up from the pharmacy along the way to Bai Shao, asking her to apply it to Huajiao along the way.

Before Liu Yue could even get up from the ground, she called out to Liu Yuechu not to leave, Liu Muchi had already arrived, accompanied by several yamen runners.

“She tried to kill my sister. People on the street saw it. Please take her away, sir. I will bring the witnesses to the county government later.”

He took out silver and stuffed it into the hands of the yamen runners as a bribe, and then begged several onlookers on the street to act as witnesses.

He was remarkably calm at first, his eyes icy cold as if he wanted to devour someone. His current life was given to him by Liu Yuechu, and he would not let anyone who tried to harm her get away with it.

Liu Yuechu held Huajiao, who was crying in pain, in the carriage and kept comforting her that she would be alright.

Her eyes were also filled with tears; she was heartbroken.

A woman's face is the most important thing in her life. If Huajiao's face is really ruined, she will blame herself for the rest of her life!

"Don't worry, Master, I'm fine."

Huajiao's voice trembled with pain, "The young master is here, please don't be sad. I've always said I'd never marry, so a few scars on my face don't matter..."

Bai Shao also wiped away her tears, saying, "If you don't marry me, I won't marry you either. I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."

Liu Yuechu's voice remained sharp, "Don't talk nonsense! I absolutely won't leave a scar on your face; you'll definitely be even more beautiful than before!"

"Can the son-in-law really cure the scars on Huajiao's face?" Bai Shao was skeptical. Huajiao's face was covered with small blisters, a terrible sight.

She couldn't bear to look at it, much less touch it.

"It can definitely be cured. If it can't be cured, I'll divorce him!" Liu Yuechu didn't dare to touch the peppercorns anymore. She really regretted that she should have left later and not been able to scratch Liu Yueliu's face herself!

Yuan Cuo, who was driving the carriage, also heard Liu Yuechu's words and cracked his whip even louder.

The group arrived at the bookstore in the blink of an eye, where Hou Lai was already waiting.

Yuan Cuo had Hou Lai hold Hua Jiao and took out the medicine in his hand, saying, "It will hurt a little, just bear with it."

Huajiao closed her eyes, trembling, "This servant...this servant can endure it."

Hou Lai rolled his eyes, raised his hand and slapped her on the side of her neck, and Huajiao immediately fainted.

Liu Yuechu was astonished, "What are you doing?"

Hou Lai sighed, "That medicine can shatter the skull; she couldn't possibly endure it." He had tried it before, fearing that the pain would drive her to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

Yuan Cuo agreed with Hou Lai's approach, saying, "If she doesn't move around, I can handle things more quickly." Otherwise, wiping away tears with all her might would just be a waste of time.

He didn't delay any longer and quickly got started.

The moment the ointment was applied to Huajiao's face, the wound had already burned white.

Liu Yuechu couldn't bear to look, so she took Bai Shao and went out to wait.

Hou Lai had already gone to the door to stand guard, not allowing anyone to come in and disturb them.

An hour later.

After the burns from the peppercorns were properly treated and bandaged, Bai Shao went in to stay with her and fed her medicine after she woke up.

Yuan Cuo used the gentlest medicinal juice to warm Liu Yuechu's hands, dried them, and then carefully applied the medicine.

He was not only painting, he was also counting.

Liu Yuechu was no longer in pain. "What are you counting, my husband?"

"Count how many wounds there are in total." Yuan Cuo's voice was like the rain of late autumn, chilling to the bone and tinged with a sense of desolation.

Liu Yuechu sensed that something was wrong with him. He had lost his usual humility and was like a sharp sword, his cold light making people afraid to approach him.

"What's the point of counting them? I'm not in pain anymore."

Yuan Cuo sat on a small stool, looking up at her, "For every injury you sustain, she will retaliate in kind."

Liu Yuechu gasped.

She naturally understood what he meant by "still," but she only moved her lips slightly and did not stop Yuan Cuo from taking revenge.

In her past life, she was too kind and only wanted to compromise, which is why she was bullied step by step to the point of being unable to move forward.

Besides, the person who was injured this time wasn't her, it was Sichuan peppercorns.

If she were to shamelessly utter the word "forgiveness" again, she would be betraying Huajiao's heart. Moreover, in her heart, she never treated Huajiao as a servant, but rather as a sister who had accompanied her through her growth.

“Then my husband must count carefully, including what he has on him,” she said softly.

Yuan Cuo paused, seemingly not expecting her to answer like that.

The two looked into each other's eyes and saw a side of each other they had never seen before, yet they felt that this was for the best.

They had all previously concealed a thick layer of armor, hiding the darkness within their hearts.

Yuan Cuo nodded, "Don't worry, my wife, I won't leave a single wound untreated!"

……

Granny Fang had already arrived at the door and rushed in. She was so shocked when she heard the news at home that she could hardly breathe!

Seeing that Liu Yuechu was unharmed and Yuan Cuo was by her side, she immediately went around praying to the Bodhisattva and shouting, "May the Bodhisattva protect us."

Then he went inside to look at the Sichuan peppercorns, wiped away his tears, and came out.

"What a beast! What a beast! Young master, tell me the truth, can that girl's facial injury really be healed?" Granny Fang looked at Yuan Cuo with a very complicated expression.

She hoped Yuan Cuo would nod, but she was also afraid that he was just trying to comfort people.
