Chapter 143 One Hundred and Forty-Three Slashes



Hearing some noise in the kitchen and Liang Mo approaching, Shopkeeper Wang asked, "Who's making the medicine?"

"Zeng Zhui."

"Oh, it turns out to be my brother Zeng. He hasn't been here for a long time. You take a rest first, I'll go give him a hand."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen.

Xu Jiang closed her eyes to rest and was about to pass out when suddenly the sound of carriages and horses was heard at the door.

Liang Moying went out and saw that it was the Lou family's carriage. Just as he was about to go forward to greet them, he saw a maid jump out of the carriage and run towards the bookstore in a hurry.

"Sister Xu, how are you?"

Xu Jiang was so shocked by the sound that she almost fell off the wooden couch. Then her eyes blurred and someone grabbed her hand. She blinked and saw that it was Yin Yin.

Yin Yin saw that Xu Jiang's forehead was swollen and his face looked bad, and his round face was about to shed tears.

"Why is it so badly injured? Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It just looks scary. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

Yin Yin stretched out her finger and traced it, her eyes reddened. "Such a big lump, it must be painful."

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Jiang teased her, pulling her hand to touch it. "Touch it, it's soft and quite fun."

"Where's the fun in that!" Yin Yin was afraid of touching her, so she quickly pulled her hand away. Then she said, "If the Madam saw this, she would be heartbroken."

"Good girl Yinyin, please don't tell the lady, so she won't worry."

"How can you hide it?" A voice came from the door.

Xu Jiang looked up and asked in surprise, "Madam Liu?"

Why is she here too?

Then she realized why Lou Yunchun agreed so readily. It turned out that he had made such a plan. With Liu Mei watching, she was afraid she would not be able to jump around.

Liu Mei stepped forward and bent down to examine Xu Jiang's wound. Seeing that it was red, swollen, and broken, she frowned and cursed, "Which damn beast hit him so hard? If I catch him, I will break his limbs and throw him into the cesspool to teach him a lesson!"

Xu Jiang held her hand and pleaded, "Sister, if Madam asks, please help cover it up. She is a secluded person, please don't disturb her peace."

"Don't be fooled by your quiet demeanor, Madam. You're a carefree person, and now that the young master has asked us to take care of him, you know something's wrong. If you don't tell her, it'll only make her think too much. It's better to let her know."

The same goes for this.

Xu Jiang sighed deeply and said with shame, "It's all my fault for not being careful enough. I've made you suffer as a result."

"We are all family, and you keep talking nonsense." Liu Mei touched her face and felt it was a little hot. She was afraid that she might have a fever.

Then he glanced at Liang Mo outside the door and said, "Let's go back to the room and rest. It's not very convenient to live here."

"Okay." Xu Jiang was thinking the same thing.

When Zeng Zhui heard a woman's voice coming from the shop, he knew that the person arranged by Lou Yunchun to take care of him had arrived.

He took Shopkeeper Wang out, greeted Liu Mei and Yin Yin first, told them about the medicine and sea bass soup on the stove, and conveyed all the precautions given by Doctor Chen before taking Shopkeeper Wang away.

Shopkeeper Wang said to Xu Jiang, "Sister, take good care of yourself. If you need anything, ask Liang Mo to come to me."

Xu Jiang smiled and nodded.

After seeing the two off, Xu Jiang said a few words to Liang Mo, then returned to the house with the help of Liu Mei and Yin Yin.

The two men changed her clothes and carefully helped her lie down.

As soon as she touched her familiar bed, Xu Jiang's mind became fuzzy. She smiled at the two of them and said, "Thank you for your help..."

The words were still lingering when the man closed his eyes.

Liu Mei touched her forehead and found that she was indeed burning, so she quickly asked Yin Yin to pour some medicine.

Lou Yunchun returned to the Dali Temple and first retrieved Feng Miao's file. He then approved the document, issuing a city-wide wanted notice for the murder and absconding.
