Du Shi clenched his fists and roared, "The world is cold and heartless, everyone is driven by self-interest, who would care about my affairs? Who in Du Family Village doesn't know about this? When Zhou Xinran bullied my daughter, how many people saw it? Who dared to stand up? Who dared to risk their family's destruction for someone else?"
Ye Panjiu pointed to herself, "Then let's put it this way, you do as I say, and I'll give you a chance to kill Zhou Xinran with your own hands."
Du Shi looked at her and asked, "Why should I believe you?"
Ye Panjiu smiled, "Because you want revenge, now there is an opportunity in front of you, even if it is a cliff in front of you, you will jump. Don't worry, there is no cliff in front of you, just liberation."
She didn't feel she could persuade him to let go of such a deep-seated hatred that had led to the destruction of his family.
She's not a saint; she likes to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.
Du Shi clenched his fists and looked at her. "If you can help me avenge my great grudge, then my life will belong to you from now on."
Ye Panjiu nodded. "Okay, I'm from Ye Family Village. Go to the county tomorrow morning. My shop is diagonally opposite Xiangweifang. Find me there, and I'll tell you what to do next."
She thought about it and realized that it would take half an hour by oxcart to get from Dujia Village to the county. If Du Shi were to walk there, it would take too long.
"No, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
Du Shi nodded without saying a word.
Ye Panjiu took out twenty coins from her pocket and handed them to him, saying, "Complaining is also hard work. If you're too hungry to stand, you won't be able to get revenge."
Du Shi looked at the copper coin and shook his head. "I can handle it, but I can't eat it."
Ye Panjiu sighed and didn't try to persuade her anymore.
Ye Daniu stepped forward, took the axe, and chopped all the firewood that Du Shi was going to chop in just a few strokes.
Ye Panjiu also gathered some firewood, which Ye Daniu then chopped.
He looked up and asked him, "Brother, is there anything else you need to do? I'll do it for you."
Du Shi looked at the blazing fire in the stove and shook his head.
How could he possibly feel warm in such a cold weather?
He is not worthy to do so until he kills Zhou Xinran.
Ye Panjiu jumped onto the oxcart, and Ye Daniu drove the oxcart back to Ye Family Village.
Looking at Du Shi's ascetic-like back, Ye Panjiu felt as if a stone was lodged in her heart.
Back at the Ye family home, Ye Panjiu quickly finished her lunch and prepared to go out again.
Sun pulled Liu aside, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you? My little sister isn't even taking her afternoon nap. Can her body handle it?"
Grandma Ye also came over to listen.
Liu told them in detail what she had seen that morning.
Sun couldn't sit still any longer and immediately went after Ye Panjiu.
She wanted to go with her younger sister.
Old Mrs. Ye had lived most of her life and had seen and heard of many tragedies, but she was still so angry at a beast like Zhou Xinran that her chest heaved. "This evil man must be dragged out and beheaded!"
Ye Panjiu walked out the front door. Although she lived in the backyard, the whole family still ate in the front yard.
The front yard is being rebuilt. First, another yard was demolished, and blue bricks are being laid.
She needed to hurry and rescue Guan Muning from Zhou Xin's backyard.
The only person she could get this done was the head of the White Deer Academy.
Ye Daniu drove the oxcart forward, swaying along.
"girl!"
Ye Panjiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yan Yu on horseback calling to her.
Ye Panjiu grabbed Ye Daniu and jumped off the oxcart as soon as it came to a complete stop.
What brings you here?
Although she had never been to the capital, she knew it was far from Qingshui County. Was there really so much going on in Qingshui County? Yan Yu had come again?
Don't you need to do anything else?
Yan Yu took out the letter and writing materials and handed them to her, saying, "Miss, I've come to deliver this letter to you on behalf of my master."
Ye Daniu and Sun, who came out, both stared intently at Yan Yu.
Ye Panjiu accepted the letter and the words, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Yu shook her head. "It's not hard work. This calligraphy is the most famous work of Jiang Lao, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Each character is worth a thousand gold pieces, so this piece is worth eight thousand taels."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow. "I don't lack money, why would your master send me this?"
Yan Yu pointed to the letter, "Please read the letter, young lady. I'm not quite sure what the master is thinking."
Ye Panjiu was filled with curiosity and was about to walk into the house when she suddenly stopped.
"Yan Yu, could you please do me a favor?"
Yan Yu bowed respectfully and said, "Please speak freely, young lady. The master said that what you say is what he says."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow again. This Lord Su is quite love-struck. Isn't he afraid that she will have Yan Yu kill him?
“Zhou Xinran, the manager of Xiangweifang, has a woman named Guan Muning chained up in the backyard of his house. Can you rescue her and bring her to our Ye family?”
Yan Yu nodded. "Yes, please wait a moment, young lady."
Before the words were even finished, the man and his horse were already gone.
Ye Panjiu felt a strong urge to try it. She had accumulated a hundred taels of silver during this period, but it was nothing compared to her subordinate Yan Yu.
Obedient and loyal, highly skilled in martial arts, and capable of handling affairs, tsk tsk.
She didn't linger, nor did she pay attention to Sun's teasing gaze, and went straight to her room in the backyard.
The envelope was still sealed with heart-shaped wax and printed on expensive Chengxintang paper.
"Zhan Xin'an, this calligraphy was obtained in exchange for my copying of your letter. It's your calligraphy that's being returned to its rightful owner. Winter is approaching; I hope you stay warm and avoid catching a cold. Bailu Academy has the highly skilled Imperial Physician Gu..."
Su Yan's letter was quite long, even a bit long-winded, and included all the problems he could think of that Ye Panjiu might encounter.
Ye Panjiu's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and her heart warmed.
She seemed to see Su Yan's devilishly handsome face again, standing there watching her and smiling.
As Su Yan finished writing, two large sheets of Chengxintang paper remained.
Ye Panjiu picked up her pen and began writing a reply.
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. I recently encountered a tragic event. Zhou Xinran, the manager of Xiangweifang in Qingshui County..."
She wrote down all the evil deeds committed by Manager Zhou, then changed the subject, "Prime Minister Su, Qingshui County is just one of the many counties in Daliang. If one has no power or influence, how can one seek justice?"
She wrote down all her questions, and when the paper was almost full, she stopped and started a new line.
"I asked Yan Yu to do some things for me, and to thank you for your protection, I wrote this piece as a way of repaying you."
She looked at the paper, roughly estimated the size of the characters, and then picked up her pen to write.
An hour later, Yan Yu rode his horse to the Ye family's residence.
A woman who had already fainted was being carried on horseback.
Yan Yu didn't dare linger in front of the Ye family's door and went straight inside.
Madam Sun immediately came forward, pointing to her room, "Quickly, take her to my bed to lie down."
She cautiously peeked outside and saw no one else.
"Erniu, pull this horse inside!"
Ye Erniu obediently walked to the door, looked at the horse that reached his shoulder, his legs trembled a little, and he dared not reach out his hand.
Sun glared at him, but she was also afraid and dared not step forward.
Ye Daniu came out, went straight up to the horse, touched it, and pulled it inside by the reins.
