Cai was also happy for Yao Yao, after all, they were all from the mountain village, and even if they weren't close relatives, they were still very close friends.
He raised his hand and patted Yao Yao's overly muscular arm. "We can talk about other things later. Right now, you really need to take good care of your health. Didn't Doctor Wang just say that if you keep getting this fat, something serious will happen?"
Mu Run wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right, the first thing to do is lose weight!"
Yao Yao knew that her fat body was outrageous, making her look like she had grown an extra person and a half. "Before, in the Zhang family, I couldn't even survive without eating those greasy and disgusting meats. Your Majesty doesn't know, but today when I saw people selling vegetables on the street, I wanted to pounce on them and eat them raw."
A palace maid brought the medicine into the hall. "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."
Cai took it and said, "Give it to me."
Looking at the bowl of medicine, Mu Run said to Yao Yao, "This is a prescription written for you by Physician Wang to regulate your body. Drink it quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Yao's eyes were red, filled with gratitude for Mu Run.
Not long after taking the medicine, Yao Yao experienced severe abdominal pain and went to the urinal.
It took him quite a while to get back.
However, her complexion improved after Yao Yao went to the latrine. It turned out that back in the Zhang residence, she would only relieve herself about once every ten days, and even then, it was very difficult.
This bowel movement made her feel much lighter.
Mu Run told her to go down and rest first, as her body needed to be properly recuperated for a while.
...
Zhang Mansion —
Zhang Duo refused to sign the divorce papers.
Hongmi didn't press him. She stepped aside and said to Qiao Dongzi, "You come on, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on him."
"Hehe, okay." Qiao Dongzi raised his hand to touch the back of his neck and took a step forward.
And with this one step, Qiao Dongzi, who was originally harmless and even easy to talk to, changed!
A murderous aura that sent shivers down one's spine suddenly erupted from within him.
The kind smile that had always graced his lips turned terrifying and chilling. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhang Duo with the eyes of someone staring at a dead man.
Zhang Duo was stunned.
"Should we sign or not?" Qiao Dongzi asked.
Zhang Duo's neck stiffened, his body drenched in cold sweat, his pupils dilated, his reason vanished, and the words that came out were purely the instinctive reaction of his body under extreme danger: "Sign."
Only after the divorce papers were signed and his fingerprints were pressed did Zhang Duo's rationality return to his body, but it was all over!
Qiao Dongzi ordered his men to tie him up and take him to the Jingzhao government office, instructing the Jingzhao magistrate to investigate Zhang Duo. He also sent some evidence he had previously uncovered regarding Zhang Duo's illegal and criminal activities to the Jingzhao magistrate.
After Zhang Duo was arrested, the servants in the Zhang family knew that their master was finished. Naturally, they would no longer be foolish enough to speak up for Zhang Duo. In order to save their own lives and avoid being implicated, they wished they could spill all the secrets of Zhang Duo's ancestors for eighteen generations.
In particular, when Hongmi inquired about how Zhang Duo had tormented and humiliated Yao Yao, she spoke with great enthusiasm, some even embellishing the story.
After hearing what she needed to know, Hongmi returned to the palace.
But Mu Run had been waiting for her.
“I’ve asked them everything.” Hongmi took a sip of tea, still unable to suppress her anger. “Zhang Duo is a beastly bastard.”
"Don't insult dogs," Mu Run said. "Tell me what happened."
"Sister-in-law, you didn't see the room where Yaoyao lives. It doesn't look like anything on the outside, but after removing the plaster and fake window frames, it's all iron bars inside, and even the roof is sealed off. It's like a cage!"
"What?!"
