"Master, the mission is proceeding smoothly as expected." An Yi immediately reported to Mo Qian after receiving the message from his subordinates. He appeared quietly in the room.
"The two have already held their wedding ceremony in the cold cave in Wujiapo and entered the bridal chamber."
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to do anything else. Just keep an eye on things over there. If Qingyue needs anything, cooperate as much as possible." Mo Qian's face was stern, and her tone was slightly cold.
"Yes," An Yi replied, then left and disappeared into the shadows.
Don't blame me for being heartless; this is your own choice! The only problem is that you were too greedy for power and wanted to take shortcuts!
In his previous life, he tricked Wang Baochuan into getting married in a cold cave, and she endured eighteen years of hardship there. In this life, he has no intention of taking the right path!
One month later,
Xue Pinggui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He was initially itchy, but he didn't think it was a big problem, so he ignored it and figured it would pass.
Unexpectedly, the itching subsided, but the skin began to ulcerate in coin-sized lesions!
At first there were only one or two, but later there were more and more. Xue Pinggui's expression gradually became serious, after he had been nonchalant at first.
Originally, Xue Pinggui was extremely excited about being able to abduct the eldest daughter of the Pingxi Jiedushi's family and marry her during this month.
He was thinking of spending some time to coax Qingyue, and ideally, to get her pregnant so that she could take him back to see the Pingxi Jiedushi.
Even if the military governor of Pingxi is dissatisfied or furious, he will have to obediently compromise and accept it because Qingyue is pregnant!
Even if he refuses, he should think it over more when he sees Qingyue's reluctance and deep affection for me!
So, relying on Qingyue's affection for him, he kept her in the cold cave and coaxed her into sending all those who came to pick her up back home.
As a result, Qingyue is not pregnant yet, and before he can coax her to take him back to see the Pingxi Jiedushi, he has developed this illness!
When Xue Pinggui first discovered one or two coin-sized ulcers on his body, he was a little worried that Qingyue would be disgusted, after all, how could the pampered young lady have seen such things!
But now he couldn't care less about what Qingyue was thinking; all his energy was focused on himself, wanting to get rid of these ulcers as soon as possible!
————————
"Miss Qingyue, let's go." While Xue Pinggui was out, the people Mo Qian sent to pick up Qingyue arrived.
"Okay." Qingyue stood up and followed the person who came, without packing any belongings. She showed no regret for the cold cave she had spent a month in, and left without looking back.
After leaving the cold cave and traveling another twenty or thirty miles, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Miss Qingyue, this is what my master asked me to bring to you. I hope that everything will go smoothly for you in your life."
After saying that, he handed the bundle to Qingyue, got off the carriage, and used his lightness skill to quickly leave the way he came.
At this moment, Qingyue opened the bundle, and her hands trembled slightly.
Inside the bundle was a box containing Qingyue's indenture, a silver note for one thousand taels, and a letter instructing her to go to Medicine King Valley for medical treatment.
It is said that since its inception, Medicine King Valley has been known as a place where no mortal disease has ever been defeated!
With this letter of recommendation, I can get rid of the source of my illness and have a healthy body!
Qingyue never told anyone that she had a dream the night she left Qingping County.
I dreamt that I was in the same situation as in my dream: my younger brother was tricked and owed money to a gambling den.
To save his younger brother, his parents sold all their possessions, and later, unable to raise enough money to pay off their debts, they considered selling themselves to do so.
Just when I was about to be sold, unlike in reality, I wasn't bought by my master's people. Instead, my childhood sweetheart from next door stole the family's savings and bought me. I took the opportunity to become his wife.
I thought I could live a peaceful and happy life from sunrise to sunset.
Unfortunately, her husband suddenly developed skin ulcers and became delirious!
Finally, after discovering that the cause of her husband's skin ulcers was actually her own, her in-laws began to make things difficult for her. Her husband was also consumed by grief, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, until finally their marriage ended! She lived a muddled and confused life!
After having these dreams, Qingyue didn't know whether they were real or not. However, after a detailed examination by the doctor, she discovered that she did indeed have abnormalities in her body.
Qingyue firmly believed that the dream was a sign from heaven that she had suffered too much in her previous life, so that she could get rid of that painful predicament!
She thought that in her dream, her husband, because of her, went from being a cheerful and handsome young man to a numb, listless, and easily agitated person.
Qingyue was filled with guilt, feeling that she had caused her husband to suffer these hardships that he should not have had to endure!
Therefore, after the dream, Qingyue willingly left. Not to mention, the master behind it promised that after the matter was completed, he would not only give her a contract of indenture to set her free and prepare money, but more importantly, he also gave her the source of all the pain in the dream!
Qingyue hated the source of the disease to the core! Being able to seek medical help from Medicine King Valley to help her clear the toxins was exactly what she had longed for in her dreams!
Therefore, even if it requires sacrificing her innocence, Qingyue is willing to do it!
What's the use of keeping a pure body if you've lost your childhood sweetheart?
She could no longer go to find her husband. The self in her dream had caused him so much suffering; how could she have the face to become his wife again?
Without her, her husband could choose a gentle woman to accompany him for the rest of his life, which would be the best thing for him!
Furthermore, in the dream, her relationship with her husband ended, and she no longer wanted to return to him...
He only hopes that after his hidden illness is cured in Medicine King Valley, he can find a paradise and live out his life in peace.
Thinking of this, Qingyue gripped the letter tightly with both hands, becoming even more eager to go to Medicine King Valley.
Soon, the carriage started moving again, heading into the distance...
"Master, Miss Qingyue has already left," An Yi reported to Mo Qian.
"Okay, I understand." Mo Qian's expression remained unchanged after hearing Qing Yue leave, and she calmly replied.
With those things I gave Qingyue, she can finally break free from the shadows of her past life and embark on a new path! It's probably the best ending!
This applies to Qingyue, and also to the young boy from the rice shop!
He felt no guilt towards Qingyue, as he had given her a choice: to leave or to get rid of the source of the disease.
She chose this path herself, at the cost of her innocence...
