Once he returns to the capital and reclaims his position as heir apparent, he will marry her in grand style...
As he thought about it, a hint of sadness and hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.
What's worse, his legs are ruined!
He was unconscious for three days before waking up, and when he did, he felt excruciating pain in his legs.
Later, Li Jiaojiao took him to see a doctor in the county.
The doctor shook his head and said, "If it had been a few days earlier, and with some better medicine, maybe we could have saved him. Now he'll be a cripple."
He hated it!
Now that he is disabled, it will be even more difficult for him to regain his position as heir apparent!
But no matter what, he will definitely return to the capital to take revenge!
"Gu Han, what's wrong?" Li Jiaojiao felt a pang of guilt when she saw him staring at her leg. "What, are you blaming me for being poor and incompetent, unable to treat someone's leg?"
"No," Gu Han said urgently, "I only hate those who chased after me... and broke my legs. You saved my life, which is already a great blessing for me."
Jiaojiao was just an ordinary peasant girl; even though her father was a scholar, he couldn't cure his leg. She had already done her utmost to save his life!
If he still blames her, wouldn't he become an ungrateful wretch?
"Haha, is Scholar Li home?" At this moment, an old woman in her fifties walked in with a swaying gait.
Li Jiaojiao had never seen this old woman before. She frowned and said, "Auntie is... Father. Someone is looking for you."
They assumed he was just some uncommon villager.
Inside the room, Li Zhiyuan was flirting with Zhang Shuiniang when he heard the noise. He impatiently straightened his clothes and came out with Zhang Shuiniang.
“Auntie, you are…” Li Zhiyuan frowned, feeling that the old woman in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember her for a moment.
“Oh dear, you’re so forgetful. I’m your wife’s neighbor… oh, no, I mean your ex-wife, Cai Ping’s neighbor! I used to come and visit you every year when you went to Old Ye’s house, hahaha!” Granny Zhao said with a laugh.
Li Zhiyuan's face stiffened. What on earth was going on?
His ex-wife's neighbor came looking for him? What kind of nonsense is this?
"You've come here today to..."
"Hey, my sister married into your village. Today is her wedding, and I'm here for the celebration. I thought I'd drop by and see you!"
Li Zhiyuan: "..."
Are we that close? You came to see me?
"Let me tell you, Caiping has built a huge house! Although it's not fully furnished yet, it's already enormous..."
As she spoke, Granny Zhao looked around Li Zhiyuan's house: "It's three times bigger than yours! And that doesn't even include the ten additional rooms and livestock sheds built in the back!"
"The house alone is three times the size of yours! And it's all made of blue bricks, wow, you can't find another one like it for miles around!"
Li Zhiyuan's face turned pale and then red: "So, Auntie, what exactly is the matter that you came here for?"
"What's wrong with you? Are you deaf?" Granny Zhao looked at her like she was an idiot. "Didn't I just tell you that Caiping built a big house!"
Li Zhiyuan trembled with anger: "So you mean you came here specifically to say this?"
"Or what?"
