Cui Liu's face was somewhat unpleasant; she had single-handedly caused her daughter's fate.
But she had no choice; both sons were her flesh and blood, and she couldn't just watch her son have his limbs chopped off.
I can only ask my daughter to make do with this.
"Cui Yulu, you have no conscience. Your parents died early. If it weren't for our family raising you, you wouldn't have the life you have now. Now you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you repay kindness with enmity. You're a complete ingrate."
Cui Liu angrily accused Cui Yulu. After all, they were all family. Even if they had made some mistakes, it was just because they were angry for a moment and were instigated by Granny Han. But Cui Yulu actually wanted them to go to jail, which was somewhat unkind.
"Yes, I really have to thank you for selling me to a fool instead of an old man."
After saying that, she gave Cui Yufang a meaningful look. Even now, she still doesn't know how to repent. This person is beyond saving.
"you......"
"Alright, stop dawdling and take them all away quickly, don't delay my catching up with my friends."
Guo Mudan glared at them impatiently and ordered the yamen runners to take them away immediately.
To everyone's surprise, Cui Yufang fainted.
Cui Liu felt sorry for her daughter and quickly broke free from the yamen runners to rush to her daughter's side. Cui Yushan, who was in the crowd, saw his sister faint and also rushed over.
"Is it you who caused my sister to faint? Let me tell you, Cui Yulu, if anything happens to my sister, I will not let you off the hook. I will come to your clinic every day to cause trouble and make your business fail."
Cui Yushan glared at Cui Yulu with a fierce look on his face and was about to pounce on her, but he ignored the little mute girl next to Cui Yulu.
Cui Yushan only felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, and then his whole body flew out.
Before he could even see who did it, he collapsed to the ground.
This man frequented brothels and gambling dens, and his body was practically worn out. He was no match for the little mute girl, but suddenly he was completely immobilized.
"Ouch, ouch, what is this thing? It hurts so much when it hits me?"
"You'd better not mess around. Let me check her out first to see if there's anything wrong, otherwise I can't guarantee you won't lose your life here."
After Cui Yulu finished speaking, she bent down to examine Cui Yufang's body, while the little mute boy watched everyone around her warily.
They seemed afraid that they might suddenly appear and harm Cui Yulu.
It would have been better if they hadn't checked, because Cui Yulu's expression changed after the check.
Knowing that Cui Liu had some medical skills, and with her daughter fainting, she could only patiently wait for Cui Yulu to examine her.
"What's wrong with my daughter? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried!"
Seeing that she remained silent, Cui Liushi grew anxious and was almost about to shove Cui Yulu.
However, with the little mute boy blocking her way, Cui Liushi, seeing his skill just now, dared not make any rash moves.
"The sun is strong outside, so let's carry her into the backyard first. I need to examine her carefully before I can be sure."
Since Cui Yufang was already married, it was against the rules for a man to carry her. So Cui Yulu ordered someone to bring a door panel, placed her on it, and then had her carried into the backyard by the yamen runners.
Xing Dali didn't understand why Cui Yufang had suddenly fainted, but as the representative of the Xing family, he needed to know the situation.
So he followed behind.
Only Guo Dajia was kneeling at the door, trembling with fear.
Seeing that Cui Yulu was busy, Guo Mudan didn't disturb her. She just sat idly in the clinic drinking tea. With her there, no one dared to cause trouble.
Despite all the commotion, it didn't affect the clinic's business at all; that's real strength.
"What are you up to all this time? Why did you bring my daughter here?"
Cui Liushi kept nagging in her ear.
"Can you please stop talking? You don't understand anything. Just wait for Yulu to treat her. Why do you have to talk so much?"
Guo Mudan's ears ached from listening, so she yelled at her, and only then did Cui Liushi quiet down.
After carefully taking her pulse, Cui Yulu noticed something was wrong. She lifted her sleeve and found bruises on her arm, which were likely left after she was tied up.
After exchanging a glance with Guo Mudan, she unbuttoned Cui Yufang's collar.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you starting to take off my daughter's clothes? This is unacceptable."
"We're all women, what are you afraid of? We just want to see if it's as we suspect."
Guo Mudan stood up and stopped Cui Liushi. Because she was afraid of bumping into Guo Mudan's belly, Cui Liushi dared not make any rash moves and could only watch helplessly.
Sure enough, as soon as the clothes were removed a little bit, the scars on his chest were revealed.
There were whip marks and burns. They had no idea what Cui Yufang had gone through and could only wait until she woke up to ask her more questions.
"Look for yourself. The good family you found for your daughter, what kind of life is she living there?"
Guo Mudan dodged aside, letting Cui Liushi pass.
When Cui Liu saw the shocking wounds on her daughter's body, she felt some regret. In the end, it was her greed that pushed her daughter into this cannibalistic abyss.
"My daughter, I'm so sorry. What's wrong with you?"
"There's one more thing you need to know: she's two or three months pregnant."
These words struck Cui Liushi like a thunderbolt: her daughter was pregnant, and was it that old man's child?
"I...I don't want this child. Help me get rid of this troublemaker."
Cui Yufang had woken up at some point, and although her tone was soft, her attitude was firm.
"Your body doesn't allow you to abort this child now, and who inflicted these injuries on you?"
Cui Yufang reached out to protect her chest and pulled her clothes over to cover her naked body.
"These things are none of your business. And now you can laugh at me all you want. I'm not doing as well as you, you should be happy, right? Don't pretend to care about me here. You just want to know the details first so you can laugh at me later. But I won't let you succeed."
Cui Yulu was speechless. People like that deserve to be beaten and bullied. She couldn't be bothered to care.
"Since you say that, then go back and continue suffering. It's like nobody cares about you."
"Yes, this kind of person isn't worth feeling sorry for. Let's go out for tea. I'll treat you to a delicious meal at Zuixiaolou."
Guo Mudan pulled Cui Yulu to get up and leave, but Cui Liushi stopped them.
"I'm begging you, please help Yufang. We're family after all. Even if we've done something wrong, we raised you, didn't we? Please forgive us and help her. I'm begging you."
Seeing her mother humbly begging Cui Yulu filled Cui Yufang with disgust.
"Even if I die, I won't let you help me. You should leave now; I don't want to see you."
Cui Yulu turned around and glanced at her, then turned and left the house without saying a word.
