I saw several figures rushing out from the base of the courtyard wall, like mad wild dogs, and disappeared into the dark night.
There was no more noisy sound in her ears. Su Wanti pursed her lips and smiled, put down the kettle, and clapped her hands lightly.
This is not the end. After Su Wanti put the elevator into the space, she thought for a moment and turned back to the herbal medicine room.
Shang Xingjian and An Jing were both a little surprised by her sudden arrival.
"Have you made up your mind, young lady?" Shang Xingjian asked.
Su Wanti did not answer him. She first picked several herbs from the basket, then turned and left, as if there was something urgent waiting for her to deal with outside.
An Jing looked at the door closing again with suspicion and said, "Master, you just saw it, didn't you? She threw boiling water at someone. This girl is quite capable."
Shang Xingjian lowered his eyes and said, "If you are in a den of wolves and tigers, you will be torn apart and devoured if you are not strong enough."
An Jing: "If someone wants to seize her family's property, she can report it to the police, right?"
Shang Xingjian smiled slightly, bent his fingers slightly, and tapped An Jing's forehead.
There was a crisp bang, and An Jing covered his head in protest.
Shang Xingjian said, "The emperor is far away, and imperial power does not extend to the countryside. Even if she complains to the county magistrate, it is a family matter, and the county magistrate is unwilling to intervene."
He had only seen such internal family strife and mergers in books before.
The book only briefly mentions the people's sentiments. Only after seeing it today can I truly appreciate the cruelty and horror in it.
Facing the greedy relatives, if the girl is a simple-minded and weak-willed person, it is estimated that within a few days, her family will be sold to various places by those so-called relatives, and what awaits them is the pain of separation from their flesh and blood and a life like purgatory.
The "relatives" who harmed them live in spacious and bright houses, and use the money they earned from selling their bodies to eat, drink and have fun. They will not be held accountable and will not receive any retribution.
Hearing his words, An Jing frowned, "There are no daughter-bearing households in Daning. Miss Su can't take her father's place, but she still has three younger brothers. Her three brothers can get an equal share of the family property. How can someone else take it all just because of their uncle's relationship?"
Shang Xingjian glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "You've heard about today's events in vain."
"Miss Su's brother is young. How can a child under ten years old have the ability to control his own destiny? Moreover, in this environment full of calculations and competition for interests, even an adult man would find it difficult to resist the calculations and encroachments of the many people around him."
There was still confusion in An Jing's eyes. He was still young, came from a prominent family, had loving parents, and lived a happy life.
To him, Su Wanti's yard and fields were of no value.
His housekeeper's wealth is much more than this.
He didn't understand why such a small profit was worth fighting for, and he didn't understand why someone would set up a vicious plan and destroy several innocent lives just for a few dilapidated houses, a broken yard, and barren fields.
Seeing that he still looked puzzled, Shang Xingjian didn't bother to explain. "All you need to know is that she will agree to our terms and go to Luzhou with us."
An Jing swallowed the pill with his dinner rice porridge and said in a relaxed tone, "Sir, I don't need to understand too much. I just need to remember that I will do whatever you ask me to do. That's all."
"Young Master said Miss Su would agree, then she will definitely agree, hehe."
Su Wanti left the small oil lamp in the herbal medicine shop, and the dim light illuminated An Jing's big white teeth.
Shang Xingjian chuckled helplessly, "Okay, I know you're the most loyal. Take the medicine and recuperate. The magic pill Miss Su gave you is very effective. From what she said, your internal and external injuries will be healed the day after tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, the day after tomorrow is the day we Qichen will go to Luzhou."
It was late at night and the window was half open.
His gaze fell lightly on the window.
In the dark night, a slender figure quietly squeezed out from the gap of the courtyard gate without making any sound.
Shang Xingjian frowned slightly.
He has good eyesight and a good memory, and that figure is Miss Su herself.
Deeper Dewdrops, where is she going?
"Swoosh--" He blew a whistle, and after a few seconds, Changliu appeared in front of him.
"I knew you didn't leave." Shang Xingjian said.
Chang Liu: "I have sent a message to Huang Chuan. He will arrange everything according to the master's instructions."
"I finally found my master. I must always stay by your side and cannot lose you again."
Shang Xingjian nodded, "Alright. I have something I need you to do."
"Just now, Miss Su, who lives in this courtyard, left alone. You should follow her and protect her safety in secret. Don't disturb her."
"Yes." Chang Liu clasped his fists and answered straightforwardly, then he walked briskly and disappeared into the endless night.
While walking in the village during the day, Su Wanti heard all the villagers' rude words.
At that time, she came up with the idea of ​​poisoning.
The dirty talk from those scoundrels that night and Shang Xingjian's words further strengthened her determination to poison him.
Su Wanti mixed several herbs together in a certain proportion and crushed them, then went out with the herbal powder.
Under the cover of darkness, she threw the crushed herbs into three wells in the village.
These herbs will not kill people, but will only cause diarrhea. After three days of diarrhea, the effect of the medicine will completely disappear.
I can teach them a lesson without getting my hands stained with blood.
After Su Wanti threw the herbs, she did not go home immediately. Instead, she sneaked into the home of the village head and her neighbor Wang Sao's home.
