Chapter 18 [Grassland Khan Asks for Help Online]

"What method?"

Jiang Lili's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"The doctor in the village has an ancestor who was an executioner in the government office. This way, they can hang them for a controlled period of time without putting their lives in danger, but at the same time, they can make them extremely uncomfortable.

"Besides, it's easy to catch a cold in the autumn wind."

Guan Yue smiled slyly: "Don't you have a magical backpack?"

"Have Xiaopang deliver the cold medicine for you. You can give the medicine to these yamen runners under certain conditions, but control the dosage so that they don't get fully healed. This way, you can control them for a long time!"

"Besides, they were all sick on the way and could barely protect themselves, so how could they have the time to bother you?"

Jiang Lili was amazed after hearing this and gave a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

"Oh!" Guan Yue suddenly remembered something strange: "You complained to me before that the rogue yamen runner Lin Gong had a dirty idea about you on the way."

"When I was teaching him a lesson, I was going to pay special attention to him, but I didn't expect my brothers to come and inform me first. This Lin Gong seemed to be extremely frightened and looked like he was about to die."

Jiang Lili was surprised: "What's going on? Is it haunted?"

"The brother who reported it said it seemed to be an old hatchet from the woodshed. It had been hanging on the wall for a long time and had weathered. The blade broke away from the handle and fell off, hitting Lin Gong's lower body..."

Guan Yue shook her head: "In short, Lin Gong is now a useless person."

Jiang Lili got goosebumps when she heard Guan Yue's description. This was too scary. She couldn't imagine how painful it must be.

This is such a coincidence.

Jiang Lili also shook her head: "Maybe this is retribution."

After coming down from the Tower Village, Guan Yue went to the study to discuss with Cheng Jiayu about going into the city tomorrow, while Jiang Lili went to the guest room to visit Mrs. Yang.

As soon as Jiang Lili entered the guest room, Zhao Pinghou and the second son Xin Cheng were about to kneel down. Jiang Lili hurried over to support them lightly: "You absolutely cannot do that!"

Seeing such a loyal and brave old man kneeling down to her, Jiang Lili was afraid that her life would be shortened.

After Jiang Lili's repeated obstruction, Marquis Zhaoping finally gave up.

Zhao Pinghou wept bitterly, his tone filled with gratitude: "My child, this time, thanks to you asking your grandfather to arrange for someone to help, Wanyi's life was saved."

Wanyi was the nickname of Lady Yang, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping.

Yang leaned on the bed, her face had become much rosier. Even though she was old, her face and demeanor were still gentle, making people feel very friendly, and she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"Li Li, I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm sorry for you."

She pulled out a jade bracelet of excellent quality, inlaid with gemstones and pearls, and said, "All the other valuable things I had were exchanged for food during my exile."

"This bracelet was given to me by my mother before I got married. I couldn't bear to give it away, so I'm giving it to you now."

"Fulan, I'm giving this bracelet to your sister-in-law. Do you have any objections?"

Although Yang was ill these days, she still heard the agreement between Chen and Jiang Lili.

Yang believed that Jiang Lili was not a bad person by nature, but was raised astray by her unpresentable stepmother in the Shangshu Mansion. She felt sorry for Jiang Lili, a child who lost her mother at a young age.

The daughters-in-law of these two rooms should put aside their prejudices and live in harmony.

Yang smiled and looked at Chen, who was still feeling awkward and didn't speak.

"I have no objection. It should be given to my sister-in-law."

Chen seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and then she looked at Jiang Lili with a very sincere attitude: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong before. I will respect and trust you in the future."

Chen was stubborn, but her adaptability made Jiang Lili look at her with a higher regard.

Jiang Lili took the bracelet from Yang, exchanged a few pleasantries, and discussed the plan of leaving in four days with the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.

She then pulled Xin Che out, leaving the people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion with intriguing expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong? Why are you so careful?"

Xin Che saw that Jiang Lili had an expression as if she had something to ask.

Jiang Lili was thinking of Xin Che's third sister Xin Ningyu who was sent to marry a foreign prince.

"I have something important to ask you."

Xin Che was very tall, with a perfect body proportion. Jiang Lili was just finding it difficult to stand with her head tilted up and talk to him, when she saw Xin Che lower his head and lean over to listen to her.

"Which grassland tribe did my third sister go to for marriage? What was the name of the grassland Khan?"

Jiang Lili had very little information about the grassland in her memory, because the grassland tribes were not only aggressive towards the Great Sheng Dynasty, but also engaged in internal fighting.

After Jiang Lili finished speaking, she was afraid of touching upon Xin Che's sorrow, so she quickly explained, "Guan Yue told me that she has a close friend who is traveling with a group of people in the grassland tribes. Maybe they can help Third Sister."

When Xin Che mentioned his third sister, a look of worry crossed his eyes. He replied, "The leader of the Bol Grassland Tribe is Arunna Danzhuo."

Jiang Lili's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. Just as she was feeling extremely disappointed, she heard Xin Che mutter, "He also gave himself a Xia clan name, Yan Zhaoyue."

When Jiang Lili heard the three words "Yan Zhaoyue", her blood suddenly rushed backwards with excitement.

Xin Che's sister is saved!

She really couldn't bear to see a 17-year-old girl die tragically in a foreign land.

After confirming the information, Jiang Lili quickly sent a message to Yan Zhaoyue in the group.

[@Jiang Lili: Master Yan, has the marriage delegation from the Great Sheng Dynasty arrived?!]

In response to Jiang Lili, Master Yan offered a string of complaints.

[@Yan Zhaoyue: It seems not, I haven’t paid attention to it. I am so exhausted, how can I have time to care about the marriage!

Help! Both of my barbarian brothers want to kill me. I've been here for five days and have already been assassinated twice!

Several of the secret guards protecting me were injured. If this continues, I will die.

You know I'm weak. Today, during the tribe's hunting, I even shot my arrow astray. I've lost all my prestige among the people of the grassland.

【Li Li, I'm really scared! 】

When Jiang Lili heard the news, the joy that had just risen in her heart subsided a lot. Although the identities of the two parties in the marriage matched, "Mr. Kidney Deficiency" Yan Zhaoyue was useless. How could he protect her third sister Xin Ningyu?

In her impression, Xin Ningyu rarely appeared at gatherings of noble ladies in Beijing and was often sick, so she must be in poor health.

Forget it, let me ask Xin Che first what chronic diseases Xin Ningyu has and what medicinal herbs he needs to prepare.

The journey to marry a princess is long, so it is better to prepare these things in advance so that the bride will not have a hard time when she arrives.

Jiang Lili asked Xin Che, "I heard that Third Sister is in poor health and has been recuperating at home for years. What's wrong with her? What medicinal herbs do we need to prepare?"

Unexpectedly, Xin Che raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard Jiang Lili's words: "Third sister? Weak?"

Xin Che couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled, "Where did you hear that?"

Jiang Lili was puzzled. "Why is she sick and can't come to the gathering of noble ladies in the capital?"

Xin Che spat out three words: "She's pretending."

Jiang Lili: "Ah?"
