The three of them got out of the car. Li Xiaoxiao took Qi Wenzhu back with her and asked Qi Wenzhu to sit on the bench in the yard and wait.
She pulled Qi Yu straight back to the room. Seeing the man's indifferent expression, she explained, "Qi Wenzhu needs to stay by your side. Do you know that you bought the box from Lao Wu but didn't tell me about it? Qi Wenzhu dreamed about it."
Li Xiaoxiao said calmly, and upon closer inspection, Qi Yu's expression indeed changed drastically. "This wasn't intentional. He also dreamed about some things in the future. Qi Wenzhu has the ability to foresee the future. Keep him by your side to watch over him. Do you understand? Moreover, Qi Wenzhu tried to harm you today. He almost used poison to kill everyone in your academy. If he's going to poison you, he'll definitely put it in the academy's water source. You'll all suffer then. I saw it, and that poison is indeed very terrible."
Li Xiaowan then took out a pair of gloves, inside which was poison. "I shouldn't have gone to the academy to find you today, but I couldn't find peace in my heart. I was in excruciating pain. Everything at home was normal. I was afraid something had happened to you, so I rushed to the county town."
Qi Yu's eyelids twitched as he looked at Li Xiaoxiao, his emotions shifting rapidly. His wife knew that he had killed Cai Shi and believed Qi Wenzhu's story. Despite all his calculations, he never imagined that there were people in this world who could foresee the future.
On the one hand, he knew that Li Xiaoxiao's actions were correct; keeping someone like her around was indeed very beneficial, and he couldn't easily kill Qi Wenzhu right now.
"Wife." Qi Yu subconsciously reached out to take Li Xiaoxiao's hand, but saw a look of disappointment on her face. "Qi Yu, why don't you discuss things with me? Why do you have to make decisions on your own? Don't you know how much risk this will bring?"
Qi Yu looked at her, his hands trembling, his eyes filled with tears, and he was about to cry. He tried to take Li Xiaoxiao's hand again, but she shook him off.
Seeing his pathetic state, Li Xiaoxiao was immediately furious. He made a mistake, but instead of repenting, he acted aggrieved. Even Lin Daiyu couldn't act as well as him.
"My wife..." Qi Yu called out again in a low voice, and tears immediately fell down his face. He sobbed uncontrollably, and Li Xiaoxiao noticed that his hands were still trembling.
She was truly at her wit's end. If a man were to run up to her and act arrogantly, showing no remorse, she would punch him and teach him a lesson. But Qi Yu's tears were truly her weakness.
"Qi Yu, stop crying. What are you crying for? You're so girly. If you keep going like this, I'm going to divorce you."
"I was just afraid you'd find out I'm a eunuch." Qi Yu's voice was hoarse and trembling as she finished speaking, and tears streamed down her face. She then stormed out the door and fled without explanation, running away like a girl, tacitly accepting everything that had happened before.
Li Xiaoxiao stood there, stunned, staring at the open door. A sense of guilt welled up from the bottom of her heart. Had she been too harsh on Qi Yu? It's only natural for a normal person to want revenge after being constantly beaten, scolded, insulted, and kicked until they were crippled. Moreover, he had been treated like this since childhood, and Cai Shi had used him as a threat, constantly demanding money. Her shamelessness was bound to arouse his hatred.
If she were Qi Yu, she probably would too. Hmm, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly couldn't think of any words to blame Qi Yu for doing this.
Besides, Qi Yu is a closed-minded person, so we can't push him any further. Moreover, it's really illogical that such a handsome villain, whom we've raised to be healthy and strong, would just be lost. We should raise him properly and nip this slightly crooked tendency in the bud so he can become our obedient husband. When she read this book before, she really liked this villain.
Well, after thinking about it for a long time, she still has to be the one to persuade Qi Yu. She just blurted out that she wanted to divorce him, and Qi Yu will probably be heartbroken again.
Li Xiaoxiao left the courtyard and saw Qi Wenzhu, remembering that she still needed to give him the spiritual water.
"Qi Wenzhu, come with me." Li Xiaoxiao led him to a room, closed the doors and windows, and Qi Wenzhu took out a box from his pocket. The box was emanating a chilling aura.
"I have some spiritual power, and my fingers have been frozen inside."
Li Xiaoxiao took out a bottle of spiritual spring water. "There are only ten portions of this medicine in the whole world. I also gave one portion to the princess. She spent five hundred taels of silver. How much silver do you plan to give me?"
"A thousand taels of silver, consider it a debt I owe you." Qi Wenzhu stared intently at the medicine. Li Xiaoxiao took out some medicine and clean strips of cloth from her bosom, then applied the medicine to Qi Wenzhu's hands and forcibly wrapped them up to reattach his fingers.
"You're lucky; your finger is in pretty good condition. Just don't use this hand too much for the next year, and about a month should be enough."
"Train with those kids."
As Li Xiaoxiao finished wrapping the last strip of cloth around her hands, she was about to leave. Qi Wenzhu was already wincing in pain, but seeing her hands tied up brought her a sense of relief.
Using his other hand, he drank the potion, wanting to try its legendary effects. He drank it all in one gulp and felt an unparalleled sweetness, his body filled with spiritual energy.
Even more terrifying was that the crippled hand could still feel the presence of its other fingers, a sensation that thoroughly excited Qi Wenzhu.
Li Xiaoxiao is indeed a capable person, and Qi Yu certainly has good judgment.
"Sister-in-law."
Qi Wenzhu then walked out of the courtyard. At this moment, the noblewoman was scolding the four children in the courtyard, "Why don't you try hard at all? How can you be successful like this? Where is your physical strength? Why didn't you do the weight training yesterday? Did I assign you any fun tasks?"
Several guards stood upright to the side, not daring to utter a word. This was the first time Qi Wenzhu had ever seen such a scene.
As Wu Xinyue was getting carried away, she saw Qi Wenzhu leisurely coming out of the room. She glanced at him, and Qi Wenzhu subconsciously shuddered.
"You, come here."
Qi Wenzhu wanted to escape. Although she didn't know what she was going to do, she subconsciously felt terrified, but her body moved toward Wu Xinyue against her will.
"Who are you? What do you usually do? Why do you look so cunning and treacherous?"
Qi Wenzhu felt wronged. Why was he so cunning and treacherous? "Madam, I am Li Xiaoxiao's brother-in-law. I usually spend my days at the casino."
As he approached Wu Xinyue, he felt a chilling aura crush him.
"You, now join them in the horse stance as punishment." The imposing aura seemed to lock onto him, and Qi Wenzhu involuntarily walked to Gu Huaichen's side and assumed the standard horse stance posture.
"Going to a casino? So young and not working hard, lacking ambition, lazy and decadent. Is this how a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy should behave?"
Wu Xinyue kept firing, and Qi Wenzhu didn't dare to move. He felt his legs starting to give way, and endless regret spread through his heart. If only he had gone out with Li Xiaoxiao sooner, he wouldn't have encountered such a calamity.
The five people stood steadily, and soon more than a dozen girls came into the courtyard. These were all women who had come down from the mountain village. They had just come out of the paper mill and walked over to Wu Xinyue, lifting their skirts.
"General, have you started practicing martial arts again? We just finished what we were doing and we're late."
They weren't afraid of the general's wife at all; a group of perfectly healthy girls actually started practicing martial arts in another part of the courtyard.
