Chapter 597 Do I look like someone who's short of money?
Is there really such a good thing?
Is the senior brother no longer planning to protect his ninth junior sister?
"It's not better yet, let me soak it a little longer, the heat hasn't gone down." She lay weakly on the riverbank. "Practice makes perfect. I can endure this medicine after a while. Will this stuff stop working for me in the future?"
The Taoist priest rolled his eyes, looking at the crescent moon that was almost touching the western mountains, and said irritably, "You want to be drugged again?"
"Hard to say." She stroked the mud and sand on the stone and couldn't help but smile. "If I get drugged next time, I won't be so stupid. I'll quietly go outside and find someone instead of making such a fuss."
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and hissed, "Lord Xie went to your room to get medicine. If he can't find me when he comes out, will he yell and make everyone look for me?"
"No, my uncle will tell him I came to find you."
"Oh?" Song Chunxue asked curiously, "So, Senior Brother can always find me? Did he leave some kind of talisman on me?"
"Um."
"Can you teach me?"
"We'll talk about it later, can you just shut up for a bit?"
"..." But she had so much to say that she couldn't hold it in.
She just said such nasty things in a moment of anger. Even though her senior brother didn't say it, he was definitely cursing her in his heart.
"To be honest, at my age, to still encounter something like being drugged, doesn't that mean that in Yun Qiu's eyes, I don't look old?"
The Taoist priest raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
"Think about it, who would give an old woman this kind of drug..."
"Yes, it just means the person who administered the medicine is rich. In the past, when you were farming, the people you met wouldn't even be willing to buy a prescription for a cold or headache, let alone this kind of medicine, which is even more expensive."
"..." She opened her mouth, unable to refute.
"I'm sorry, senior brother. I shouldn't have scolded you in a fit of anger. I'll punish myself by copying this when I get back..."
"Someone's coming." The Taoist priest suddenly drew his long sword, turned around, and took a few steps toward the person.
Song Chunxue closed her eyes, quickly circulated her qi, and forced the medicinal effects in her body to her knees.
It was a bit chilly there, perfect for treating her old ailment that was almost healed.
Afterwards, she came out of the water, picked up her clothes, put them on, and slowly dried herself off.
To be honest, she wasn't very skilled at using this method. Her senior brother got into a fight with someone, and her clothes were still wet.
Fortunately, it worked; at least she felt heat rising from her body and her internal energy being consumed quickly.
Yunqiu's three attendants were dealing with his senior brother when Yunqiu suddenly appeared in front of Song Chunxue.
"Song Chunxue, you shameless bastard! You were drugged and still ran around everywhere, pestering your senior brother to come here with you. Do you want to..."
"Smack!"
After Song Chunxue finished tying her belt, she slapped her hard across the face.
She wasn't about to let them get away with it, since they were practically begging to be beaten.
"You widow!"
Yun Qiu was furious and suddenly threw the powder in her hand at Song Chunxue's face.
Song Chunxue quickly raised her sleeves and tried to fuss, but she still couldn't avoid getting the substance in her nose.
I don't know what it was, but it was both spicy and numbing, and my head instantly felt dizzy.
She actually dared to drug her right in front of her!
Song Chunxue reached for a dagger at her waist and slashed it viciously at her arm.
"Senior brother, save me!"
Seeing that the medicine was not working, Yunqiu was both anxious and angry.
The medicine I bought with so much money didn't work at all!
The Taoist priest leaped in front of Yunqiu.
"Senior brother..."
"Smack!"
Before she could utter her sweet words, Yunqiu received a solid slap.
The sound was so crisp that Song Chunxue immediately stopped in her tracks.
"Senior brother, you hit me?" Yun Qiu looked at the Taoist priest in disbelief, her voice trembling with tears.
To deal with someone like Yun Qiu, you need to address the root cause.
Even if she broke Yunqiu's leg, it wouldn't hurt as much as a slap from her senior brother.
It's clear that Yunqiu genuinely likes the Taoist priest.
The reason she told the fourth brother that Yunqiu was a pitiful person was because although Yunqiu came from a prestigious family, she could not escape the same fate as ordinary women.
Aside from wealth and luxury, her life was hardly more comfortable than most people's.
She lived to be over eighty years old. She may not have learned much else, but she believed she had a very clear understanding of how a person's character is formed.
Yunqiu is over forty years old, yet she can still be so unruly, showing no sign of upbringing. The slightest thing can make her fly into a rage, and she has no patience whatsoever. It's clear that Yunqiu has experienced unimaginable terrible things.
To a normal person, Yunqiu seemed a bit crazy, neither as old as her father nor as young as her son.
However, she brought her senior brother a lot of things from Xuliang Mountain, including food and tea sets, incense and clothing, and even an old stool and comb, which he probably used when they were at Xuliang Mountain.
Yunqiu should understand why the Daoist left Xuliang Mountain.
Her willingness to disregard her reputation and let everyone know that she wanted to be with the Taoist priest shows that she had a confused understanding of matters between men and women and a kind of obsessive-compulsive obsession.
In other words, Yun Qiu is mentally ill, and seriously so.
"Yunqiu, how could you be so willful and reckless? You're quite thoughtful and meticulous in doing this kind of thing." The Taoist priest's tone was harsh. "You never intended to lock her up with Lord Xie, but rather wanted Lord Xie to watch her be humiliated, wasn't that right?"
Song Chunxue's eyes widened, and she immediately rushed over, grabbed Yun Qiu's hair, and slammed her heavily onto the stones on the riverbank.
This time, however, Yunqiu neither dodged nor scolded Song Chunxue, but instead smiled and looked at the Taoist priest.
"Senior brother, you figured it out! I knew you were the one who understood me best. You even noticed this." As she spoke, her shoulders shook with laughter. She sat on the ground and looked up at the Taoist priest. "I'm just crazy. I just don't want others to get what I want so easily."
“I am not an object. You are in a high position and have power. What kind of man can’t you have? Stop making a scene here. She is also my junior sister. I will not touch any woman.” The Taoist priest was extremely helpless. “I will take you back.”
“Go back where?” Yunqiu shook her head, crying, tears streaming down her face. “I don’t want to go back. I’m not an object. I don’t want a live-in son-in-law. Those men are disgusting. I feel like vomiting just looking at them. And they even made me…”
"..." You should just keep talking, or Song Chunxue will be caught in a dilemma, unable to hit or scold you.
But I absolutely cannot let this humiliation go unpunished tonight. Once she's finished crying, we'll deal with it one thing at a time.
"Then why did you pressure her like this and push her? You are unworthy of being a cultivator. You have lived under the guise of a Taoist nun for so many years, why haven't you woken up yet?" The Taoist priest pointed at Song Chunxue. "You must apologize to her for what happened tonight."
Yun Qiu wiped away her tears and stood up expressionlessly. "Five hundred taels of gold, and my men still failed."
Song Chunxue kicked her and grabbed her ear, slapping her face twice.
"Do I look like someone who's short of money?" Her earlier pity turned into anger, and she dumped the pearls from her storage bag onto the ground. "Aren't these worth five hundred taels of gold?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Qiu's face.
Afraid that she would snatch it, Song Chunxue quickly put it back into her Qiankun bag.
She picked up two stones from where she had just climbed. “These two stones are jade. I can find God’s bounty whenever I go out.”
