Chapter 395 I Promise You a Bright Future
"No! That's not what I thought... I know, I know Qi Huai-ren isn't a good person! He's the one who killed Xiao-mei!"
Feng Shuang cried in anguish.
Because Qi Huai-ren treated her the same way back then.
At first, she thought he didn't mean it, but later, because of her mother's medicine, she had no choice but to go to him again and again.
Then I saw other girls.
I know Qi Huai-ren is not a good person.
"You unfilial daughter! Shut up!" Old Man Feng cursed.
Mo Lang knocked him unconscious with the hilt of his sword!
Inside the house, the sound of Feng Shuangniang pounding the kang (a heated brick bed) and crying could be heard.
Feng Shuang's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment, a rebellion born from being oppressed for too long.
Her father always told her to endure it, that speaking out would be suicide, and that not only would she lose her life-saving medicine, but she would also ruin the whole family.
But sometimes, it really feels like being dead!
“I also want him to get his comeuppance. I don’t want to be bullied by him anymore. I went to find the uncles and aunts who grow medicinal herbs. I knelt down and begged them one by one to secretly bring some herbs from the medicinal herb field for me.”
"The medicinal herb fields are so strictly managed, yet they risked their lives to bring these for me. But where can you find ginseng? Nobody would dare bring even a single leaf!"
"So, I decided to steal it myself. I kept an eye on the ginseng field every day, which is why I saw Jin Diandian and Qi Huai Ren talking mysteriously..."
"I can't steal the ginseng, so Jin Diandian and her son guard it like dogs every day!"
Even when she was occasionally away, her dogs watched her like the apple of their eyes, because Jin Diandian had said that losing even one ginseng root would be their death!
"I thought I'd better forget it. It doesn't matter if the medicine is less effective without ginseng. I took the medicine I had painstakingly saved up and brewed it for my mother to drink."
I was happy that my mother's condition didn't worsen during that time, because I wouldn't have to go see Qi Huai-ren anymore.
"But I was too naive. Qi Huai Ren came to find me again. He threatened me. He will never let me go!"
"I want him dead, I really want him dead!"
The heart-wrenching lament evoked both sorrow and hatred.
Qiaoxiu grabbed her and shouted, "We'll kill him! There are so many reasons to kill him, but that would be too easy on him!"
Many people outside are still kept in the dark by the Holy Healer Sect. They think we killed them because we coveted the Holy Healer Sect's medical skills and medicinal fields!
That's why we need you to expose these ugly things and let the world know the truth!
Qiaoxiu is right. Ever since Qushan started publicizing the evils of the Holy Physician Sect, some of the sect's henchmen have also started writing articles attacking them.
Over the years, the Holy Doctor Sect has bribed too many officials. Before a giant ship sinks, there will always be people who are desperate and act recklessly.
Good, they'll be exposed one by one.
Before Ji Ruyan ascended the throne, he used these demons and monsters as offerings to his sword.
“Not bad!” Lu Qingqing said.
“If you were a weak person, you wouldn’t have thought of informing on me that day, which is why I’ve come today.”
Feng Shuang, you stood up not only for yourself, but also for all the sisters who have suffered humiliation.
If you can withstand this temporary condemnation, I promise you a bright future!
"A bright future... Can... can you change our family's household registration, let us leave here, and move to another city?" Feng Shuang's eyes lit up with a cautious expectation.
"If that's what you want, of course you can!"
Feng Shuang was so overjoyed that she didn't know how to react.
But she immediately snapped back to reality, suppressing her joy and revealing worry: "Qi Huai-ren is praised by everyone in the city. He has treated many wealthy merchants from other places, and even some high-ranking officials. You...you really can..."
Don't worry!
Qiaoxiu reassured her: "My sister is acting on the orders of the current Crown Prince. She also has troops under her command. She has wiped out the entire Holy Medicine Sect. What is Qi Huai Ren? If it weren't for using him to show people what kind of 'divine doctors' are in the Holy Medicine Sect's territory, who would bother talking to him!"
Feng Shuang hadn't expected Lu Qingqing to have such a powerful background.
She knew nothing of the political changes; she only knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was like a god.
Moreover, the Holy Physician Sect was actually destroyed by this very young girl.
She was stunned for a long time before she realized what was happening and tried to kneel down again.
Lu Qingqing stopped her, "Tell me, what else do you know?"
"Yes, I... I also know two other girls..."
Feng Shuang only mentioned the two girls she had met, but there must be others she hadn't met!
Including the remaining doctors who seem to have done nothing wrong, we must investigate them thoroughly!
As he spoke, Mo Lang twitched his nose and looked into the room.
"Master, you have spirit!"
Lu Qingqing rushed inside.
They saw Feng Shuangniang lying on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her wrists hanging down, and a pool of blood had already dripped onto the ground.
"Mother!" Feng Shuang rushed over.
"Mother, don't die, we're saved!"
Lu Qingqing quickly gave her medicine, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged her up.
"Don't worry, I've left you some medicine, your mother won't die."
"Yes, the medicine my sister makes is a hundred times better than the best health tonics available outside. Even a rich person couldn't buy a bottle for a hundred taels of silver!" Qiaoxiu praised again.
Although exaggerated, the effect is really good.
Feng Shuang held the medicine bottle containing "hundred taels" of silver as if it were a sacred offering. Lu Qingqing and the others had all left, and she still couldn't believe it was real.
"Mother, this time we are truly saved..."
Suddenly, a withered hand snatched the medicine from his hand.
Old Feng, his eyes bulging like a bull, roared, "You shameless bastard! If you dare to embarrass yourself outside, I'll never forgive you!"
"Father, give me the medicine, it's Mother's life-saving medicine!"
"If you dare to go out and tell everyone about your filthy deeds, I won't give them to you!"
Feng Shuang felt a bone-chilling cold.
Lu Qingqing is right. In her father's mind, all those messes were brought on by her. She was shameless and seduced others, not others who caused the trouble!
Old Feng's expression at this moment was even more terrifying than Qi Huai Ren's.
He doesn't treat her like a daughter at all!
"Did you hear that! I'll find you a husband tomorrow. If you dare to embarrass the Feng family, I'll strangle you!"
"Strangle me! Strangle me! Why didn't you strangle me the day Qi Huai Ren ruined me!"
You useless father! You can't even earn the money for the medicine yourself, so you make me suffer like that, and now you blame me for being a disgrace!
What face do you people surnamed Feng have! What face do you have, a bunch of lowly, poor peasants who can't even afford to live!
"You shameless slut!"
Old Man Feng viciously grabbed Feng Shuang by the neck.
