Chapter 122 It only healed after the festering and oozing pus...
Yu Ling quickly turned to the side, brought her ear close, and respectfully replied, "Young Madam."
Chu Ruohan narrowed her eyes, a barely perceptible hint of malice flashing within them. "This whipping was too lenient."
Yu Ling was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion on her face. "Huh?"
"Find a way to prevent his wound from healing, preferably to make it ulcerate."
Yu Ling nodded and replied, "Yes, this servant will go find Doctor Qian to get the medicine right away."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Chu Ruohan will never forget that in her past life, she was like a lamb to the slaughter, personally delivered to Wei Qiming's bed by Gu Chengyan, allowing that devil to play with her at will.
Chu Chenyu somehow learned of her ordeal and went to confront Gu Chengyan, only to have both of his legs broken and his body thrown into a dilapidated temple like trash.
He eventually died with resentment, tormented by hunger, cold, and illness.
The Marquis of Anyang's mansion owes the Chu family a life!
Chu Ruohan remembers this blood debt to the core and has never forgotten it for a moment.
Now, times have changed, and the gears of fate have turned once more.
Gu Cheng'an, Gu's mother, Bao Ling, Wei Qiming...
It's time for the next one.
With only half a month left until the autumn imperial examination, Chu Ruohan would never let Gu Chengyan have it as smoothly as he did in her previous life.
On the other side, after the doctor finished treating Gu Chengyan, he found that there was nothing seriously wrong, just a superficial injury, and left some medicine for the wound.
Inside Qingfeng Garden, servants were bustling about, creating a noisy scene.
In the midst of the chaos, a sinister hand seized the opportunity and swiftly switched the box of wound medicine.
During Gu Chengyan's time at Baima Academy, the defenses at Qingfeng Garden were not as tight as before.
It wouldn't be difficult for Chu Ruohan to place one of her own people...
When Chu Nanxin was sent back to the Chu family by the people from the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, it was already dusk, and the setting sun cast a blood-red shadow that made her figure appear exceptionally long and lonely.
Chu Ruohan specifically sent one of her maids back with her to explain the situation.
She knew all too well how soft-hearted Chu's parents were.
Chu Nanxin slumped in the chair, her hair disheveled, and her collar torn by Gu Chengyan in the heat of the moment.
She didn't even have time to change her clothes.
Aunt Fang's eyes instantly reddened. She rushed forward and hugged Chu Nanxin tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "My child..."
Mother Chu was extremely anxious and couldn't help but complain, "The Marquis of Anyang's mansion is far too heartless. How can they just send people back like that!"
She frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let Han'er help me think of a solution. She's in the Marquis's residence; there might still be room for maneuver in this matter."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanxin raised her head, her heart filled with grievance and indignation.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a tearful voice, "She would never help me, she'd rather..."
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Fang pinched her waist, her eyes filled with warning.
Chu Nan felt a pang of pain and shut her mouth, but the resentment in her heart grew stronger. She had been divorced and sent back to her parents' home. What was she going to do in the future?
In this house, only Chu's father was a clear-headed person.
He had never agreed to his daughter becoming Gu Chengyan's concubine, and a lowly one at that, without any formal betrothal or marriage arrangements.
But Chu Nanxin was willing.
Seeing her in such a miserable state, he felt heartbroken, but he still forced himself to remain calm and composed.
"I'll go find Gu Chengyan and ask him clearly."
As Chu Yueshu spoke, she was about to leave. Although she and Chu Nanxin were not on good terms now, they were sisters after all, and she couldn't just watch her be bullied.
"Come back!" Chu's father shouted, stopping Chu Yueshu. "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
His voice was filled with helplessness and anger, "The Marquis of Anyang's mansion simply sent the person back without making a big fuss, which is to save face for both families."
Chu Nanxin looked at her father, and the grievances in her heart instantly turned into complaints.
If it were Chu Ruohan who was sent back, would he still be so indifferent?
Because of her status as an illegitimate child, even her biological father disliked her.
As she thought about it, tears streamed down her face again, and her sobs grew increasingly mournful: "Why is my life so miserable!"
"Woooo..."
"Alright, stop crying." Father Chu looked at Chu Nanxin, his words were tough, but his eyes were full of tenderness. "Gu Chengyan, since that bastard doesn't know how to cherish you, after the storm has passed, I will find you a good family."
Father Chu already had someone in mind: the son of an old business friend of his. He was honest and reliable, and his family was quite well-off.
Aunt Fang comforted Chu Nanxin from the side, but she knew perfectly well that a woman who had been divorced by her husband's family could not find a good family in this world.
They were just the shopkeepers and employees in her own shop, but how could she bear to let her daughter marry such a rough man and live a life of hardship?
A hint of resentment flashed in Aunt Fang's eyes. Since no one in the Chu family was willing to stand up for Nanxin, she would find a way herself to carve out a path for her daughter's survival.
She already had a plan in mind. The Marquis of Anyang's mansion had only sent the person back and had not formally written a letter of divorce, which meant that there was still room for reconciliation.
She not only wanted Chu Nanxin to return to the Marquis's mansion, but she also wanted her to be brought back in grand style by Gu Chengyan himself...
That night, the darkness was as black as ink, so thick it seemed impossible to see through.
While everyone was fast asleep, the back door of the Chu family was quietly opened, and a short man slipped through the crack in the door.
He wore a veil over his head, completely covering his face, leaving only his eyes visible.
At the door, a maid was anxiously looking around. After seeing the man, she quickly looked left and right to make sure no one was there, and then waved to him.
When the two stood together, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
Then, the maid led him quickly toward Chu Nanxin's courtyard.
The two walked carefully, trying to keep their footsteps as light as possible.
The maid gently pushed open the courtyard gate, gesturing for the man to enter, while she remained outside, watching vigilantly.
The man walked into the courtyard and looked around. He saw that a faint light was still on in Chu Nanxin's room.
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, "My little beauty, I'm here."
In the room, Chu Nanxin sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes vacant, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her face streaked with tears.
She seemed to have aged instantly...
