Chapter 597 On the Verge of Death



"ah……"

Han Juhua burst into tears of anger. Han Lenghua, hearing the commotion from inside the house, became anxious and asked loudly, "What's going on outside?"

"Da Ya, go inside and keep your mother company. Tell her that everything is fine and she can rest easy!"

Yan Gang hurriedly gave the instructions.

Han Juhua knew that Yan Gang was not easy to talk to, and having just heard her aunt's voice, she was so frightened that she shouted loudly, "Auntie, save me, save me!"

It seems that Yan Gang is not going to help her, so now the only person she can turn to is her aunt.

Han Lenghua is a soft-hearted person; perhaps if I say a few nice words, she can help me.

"aunt……"

As Han Juhua spoke, she crawled into the house, forgetting that she was supposed to get up from the ground.

Yan Gang stepped forward and kicked her away, saying, "Han Juhua, you'd better get lost, or you'll ruin your aunt's sight!"

After kicking the person out the door, Yan Gang slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

Then he ran into the house and saw that Han Lenghua had already sat up, her eyes fixed on the outside, though she couldn't see anything.

"Leng Hua, why are you up? You just gave birth, you should stay in bed for a couple more days!"

If you don't take good care of yourself during your postpartum period, you'll suffer a lot later on.

"I'm fine, honey. What's wrong with my chrysanthemum?"

"Why is she coming to our house again? Didn't we say we'd broken off all ties? Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with Chrysanthemum. She used to seem so nice, but now she's so shameless. We can't drive her away, we can't scold her away. In the past, I thought that since she's my older brother's child and we live nearby, we should take care of her if we could. But this child is so shameless and persistent, sometimes I don't even know how to refuse her!"

Han Lenghua sighed, and Yan Gang deeply agreed: "Lenghua, there's something I didn't want to tell you, but judging from Juhua's expression, she probably won't let this go. Who knows, she might come looking for you again sometime."

"What on earth happened? Honey!"

Hearing this, Han Lenghua became even more anxious.

"Hey, you know Liu Dajiao, right? Yesterday you were giving birth at home, struggling between life and death. Do you know what your niece was doing at home?"

Yan Gang briefly recounted what happened yesterday. Han Lenghua stared wide-eyed in disbelief, finally managing to utter only, "This...this can't be, right?"

I still can't quite believe it. How could Han Juhua have become such a person?

"Would I lie to you? They were caught on the kang by many people in the village. Liu Dajiao went over to watch the fun, but when she saw herself, she hit Han Xiaochuan a few times and beat Han Juhua up."

Han Lenghua fell silent. It was a disgrace to her family to have someone like this. She never expected Han Juhua to be such a scoundrel.

"I suspect the villagers want to kick her out, and she came to you asking for your help!"

"I won't help her. I'd be ashamed to have a niece like that!"

This time, Han Lenghua's attitude was exceptionally firm.

"Alright, I'll go out and talk to the villagers in a bit and tell them not to worry about us!"

...

"Does it still hurt?"

After applying all the medicine to Han Luoxue, Ouyang Zhen felt extremely distressed. He made up his mind that Ouyang Fu and Xi Wujue absolutely could not die easily; they had to enjoy themselves properly.

However, since these two have been getting together repeatedly, he still needs to make some preparations to prevent being rescued again in the future.

"It doesn't hurt anymore! Brother Chen, you know I have lots of good things. After eating so much, my injuries have almost completely healed!"

Seeing that the man was really angry, Han Luoxue quickly hugged him to appease him. Ouyang Zhen snorted coldly, "I won't let you be willful anymore. I know you value your younger siblings, but no one can be more important than you! Xue'er, have you ever thought about what would have happened if they had impulsively killed you back then?"

Although Han Luoxue brought five tigers, and those tigers were very powerful, what about when facing ten or a hundred people?

If their primary target is Han Luoxue, and they want to kill her... let alone five tigers, even ten tigers wouldn't be enough.

"I...I didn't mean to think that even if they switched me, they would have a purpose. They certainly didn't want to kill me; they definitely wanted to use me to get a bigger price. That's why I dared to..."

The only exception was that no one knew Ouyang Fu was actually alive.

"But it still hurt a lot when the whip hit me! Brother Chen, you don't know how much I regretted it then! If I had known they would torture me, I would have struck as soon as they arrived!" Seeing that Ouyang Zhen was really angry, Han Luoxue hurriedly acted coquettishly towards him.

"You want to make a move as soon as you get there?" Ouyang Zhen was so angry that he laughed. He raised his big hand and slapped Han Luoxue's butt twice.

Han Luoxue's eyes reddened. Although Ouyang Zhen hadn't used much force, she was still a grown woman. It was embarrassing to be spanked like that.

"Brother Chen..."

"Okay, you can sleep a little longer!"

Ouyang Zhen was busy all night, but he was still worried about Han Luoxue, so he came over to check on her. Seeing that Han Luoxue's complexion had improved a lot, Ouyang Zhen was completely relieved.

There were still many things to take care of outside, and he had to go out immediately.

It is said that Xi Wujue is stationed here with 200,000 troops, but when he and General Xu counted the number yesterday, the number was significantly different.

General Xu had already led his men to count the troops repeatedly, but something still didn't seem right. You see, Xiyao also had spies; a difference of two or three thousand in reported troop strength was understandable, but now there was a difference of nearly a hundred thousand. Who would believe that?

Ouyang Zhen couldn't figure out what was going on either, so he went to the dungeon.

At this moment, both Xi Wujue and Ouyang Fu were covered in blood and on the verge of death.

This injury is much more serious than Han Luoxue's previous one.

Yang Feng was tired from fighting, so he went back to rest for a while and would come back later.

The cell fell unusually quiet. Only two people remained, having been lowered from the rack.

Xi Wujue was in pain all over. He forced his eyes open and saw Ouyang Fu, who was in a similarly disheveled state. He sneered, "We two are really destined to meet!"

Last time, the two of them were beaten together, and now it's happening again!

He always felt that his capture was directly related to Ouyang Fu.

Damn it, it's all my fault for not learning from my mistakes. That Ouyang Fu is a complete failure, good for nothing. Even if he wanted to use him, he shouldn't have kept him around.

Why not just throw him into the palace and lock him up in a room?

Unfortunately, Ouyang Fu thought himself clever and claimed that he could help him.

He believed him a second time, and each time the outcome was worse than the last.

You escaped by luck last time, but this time...

As for his father, Xi Wujue didn't even know if his good father would send someone to rescue him; it just felt a bit unlikely.

At least the last time he got into trouble, his father wasn't very proactive.
