"Li Jiaojiao, it's all because of you!" Gu Han lunged forward, his eyes bloodshot, and gripped her neck tightly.
"Let go, let go... It's not my fault. Your leg was never going to heal anyway! How can you blame me—Gu Han, you're ungrateful—"
"Stop! Stop! Don't fight!" Old Madam Gu roared. "Snowflake, Peach Blossom, what are you standing there for? Quickly pull them apart—"
Qin Miaoyu watched them fighting and raised an eyebrow: "It seems that Madam Gu doesn't need me to bring anything. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he took the hand of the maid, flicked his handkerchief, and left.
The servants finally managed to separate the two.
Gu Han screamed hysterically, "Give me back my leg...give me back my leg..."
Li Jiaojiao collapsed to her knees, clutching her neck and sobbing, "What does your leg have to do with me? Now you're just being a coward, and you're blaming everything on me... Waaah..."
Madam Gu said angrily, "Fine, you say it's none of your business, then let someone investigate! Guards, lock the eldest mistress in her room and don't let her step out of the door."
Immediately afterwards, Madam Gu sent a letter to Nanzhou, asking them to investigate.
Five days later, I finally received a reply.
The letter said that the matter had been investigated and clarified.
It was indeed Qin Miaoyu who saved Gu Han. The steamed bun vendor who hit Gu Han admitted that he let Gu Han go because he didn't dare to offend Miss Qin, who was dressed so elegantly.
Later, they questioned the doctor in Lijia Village. The doctor said that he originally planned to give Gu Han medicine that cost several hundred coins per dose, but Li Jiaojiao thought it was too expensive and changed it to medicine that cost several tens of coins per dose.
He still had some confidence in Gu Han's injury; as long as he was willing to use good medicine, at least his leg could be saved.
It was because Li Jiaojiao was reluctant to spend money that her treatment was delayed.
Old Madam Gu's hand trembled, and the letter fell to the ground. She closed her eyes tightly and said, "What a tragedy! Why is our Han'er so unlucky to have met Li Jiaojiao, that jinx?"
"It was she who ruined Han'er's life. She also ruined the future of our Ningguo Marquis's mansion."
Gu Han later learned the contents of the letter.
He was crippled by Li Jiaojiao! He lost his position as heir apparent! His life was ruined by Li Jiaojiao!
Unable to bear the blow, Gu Han drank himself into a stupor every day. When drunk, he would become delirious, and one day he would rush at Li Jiaojiao and beat her mercilessly.
"It's all your fault! Why did you pretend to be rich when you had no money? You insisted on snatching me away from Miss Qin! Now you've ruined my leg!"
"If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in such a miserable state? How could I have lost my position as heir apparent and become the laughingstock of the capital..."
As he hit her, he hugged her and cried loudly, "Jiaojiao, why are you doing this to me? I love you so much, why did you hurt me—"
He hit her one minute, and then said he loved her the next.
A moment later, while hitting her, he said he loved her.
He's like a lunatic.
Li Jiaojiao was beaten so badly that there wasn't a single unscathed spot on her body.
This reminded her of her childhood, when her biological father would beat and kick them when he lost at gambling or got drunk.
Why......
All she did was try to escape this hell and her fate.
Why, in the end, did she still end up back where she started...?
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me...please..." Li Jiaojiao felt like she could die at any moment. "If you hate me, then divorce me! Divorce me!"
Compared to the outside world, Gu Han is in greater danger.
She'll die! She could die at any moment.
Gu Han went even crazier: "Hahaha, divorce you? Why would I divorce you... Jiaojiao, I promised I would marry you someday! We'll grow old together..."
"Madman! Madman—"
Madam Gu, with a stern face, observed everything.
Indeed, divorcing her would be too lenient on her.
Then let's stay here and be a "toy"!
Afterwards, she had someone force-feed Li Jiaojiao a bowl of infertility medicine.
Even though Li Jiaojiao had a dowry of over ten thousand taels, she still couldn't live a good life.
Not only did they have to be beaten, but they also had to do all sorts of heavy labor.
Because she had some money, even a bowl of cold rice cost the Marquis's mansion one tael of silver to her.
......
When news of Li Jiaojiao reached Ye Caiping's ears, the Ye family was already on the large ship.
Li Jiaojiao deserved her fate.
As for the Deli Money Shop, it can be left to the Shen family and the Empress Dowager.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyan walked to her side: "What are you looking at?"
"Read the letter." Ye Caiping waved the letter she had received by carrier pigeon in front of him.
Shen Zhiyan had no interest in this at all and laughed, "What's so interesting about a letter? Let's go take a nap."
Ye Caiping's face flushed slightly: "No need to rest, I'm not tired."
"Even if you're not tired, you need to rest. You should develop the good habit of taking a nap."
As he spoke, he put his arm around her waist and dragged her toward the cabin.
After they left, Jin'er, Manman, and the other two maids ran over.
Jin'er said, "Huh? Didn't you say that Father and Mother were at the bow of the boat? Where are they?"
Granny Qi, who was not far away, came over and said, "Master and Madam have gone to take a nap."
Shen Manman puffed out her cheeks: "What's there to rest about? I've never seen him sleep this much before. He goes to bed as soon as it gets dark at night. What's so fun about going to bed so early every night?"
Granny Qi coughed lightly: "Anyway, it's more fun than playing with the young ladies, hahaha! What do you young ladies want with the master and mistress?"
Jin'er said, "It's nothing, I just want to eat fish, and I want Mother to go fishing for us."
Granny Qi said, "This old servant will fish for the young ladies."
