At the second moment of Chouzheng, Fang was awakened.

Someone knocked on the door outside, knocking, knocking, knocking, and Jin Ruo's voice said, "Doctor Fang, hurry up, hurry up, open the door to save people!"

Fang Ke stared blankly for a moment with his eyes open. Then he sat up with excitement, put on his coat, walked to the door and opened the door panel.

Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo were outside the door. Jin Ruo was sweating profusely. Lin Sui'an looked heavy. He was holding a person in his arms, wrapped in a dirty curtain. The curtain was full of blood and a pale face. His face rested on Lin Sui'an's shoulder.

Fang Ke recognized it at a glance. It was Wu Zhengli's wife, Qu Hui.

"She was whipped." Lin Sui'an carried Qu Hui sideways into the house, placed her on the couch by the window, and carefully opened the curtains that wrapped her body. Her thin clothes were soaked with blood.

Fang Ke frowned, turned around to get the medicine box on the bedside, glanced at Lin Sui'an with a gloomy expression, "Ask Eta to bring hot water, go out and close the door."

When Eta brought hot water, Lin Sui'an, who was guarding the door, realized that he had just been kicked out by Doctor Fang with a look of disgust on his face.

Mu Xia brought in a bunch of bottles of ointment, and Ita brought out several basins of blood. The well-trained servants delivered medicine and bandages in an orderly manner. No one spoke, and a tense silence filled the air. Lin Sui'an thought of the modern operating room.

Not long after, Hua Yitang and Ling Zhiyan also arrived. They were both neatly dressed and had obviously never touched the bed. When they asked about the whole story, their reactions were beyond Lin Sui'an's expectation.

Hua Yitang cursed loudly, "What a piece of shit. I didn't kill him even once. I really took advantage of Wu Zhengli."

Ling Zhiyan frowned, ""Tang Lv Shu Yi: Household Marriage" stipulates that any husband who beats his wife, and his wife's parents, grandparents, uncles, brothers, aunts, and sisters are all considered to be 'righteous', no matter what Whether both parties agree or not will be decided by the government and the divorce will be forced. Wu Zhengli's atrocities are absolutely righteous!"

Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead and decided to remind them, "Then... I brought Qu Hui back without permission... Uh, is that okay?"

Ling Zhiyan coughed, "It was Yun Zhongyue who kidnapped Qu Hui. What does it have to do with Madam Lin?"

Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows, "Ms. Lin just happened to be passing by. She fought Yun Zhongyue for a hundred rounds with a bodhisattva heart and saved Qu Hui's life. She should be rewarded."

Jin Ruo muttered: "It's over, it's over, Ling Liulang has also been led astray."

Lin Sui'an smiled.

Half an hour later, the door opened.

Fang Ke walked out with a dark face, "The whip wounds on her body looked horrifying, but they were only flesh wounds and did not hurt the muscles and bones. Her back, arms, legs - everywhere covered by clothes were all injured. There are varying degrees of bruises. The old injuries on the body are more difficult. My right leg was broken twice, my left forearm was broken once, and my collarbone was broken. They were not treated properly and have become chronic diseases. I will definitely experience pain and difficulty when the weather changes in the future. Forbearance. But the most worrying thing is her mental state." Fang Ke paused and lowered his voice, "According to my observation, she seems to have death intentions."

Everyone was silent.

Fang Ke handed Lin Sui'an a bottle of ointment, "There are still some areas where it is not convenient for me to apply the ointment, and she seems to be very afraid of men. I would like to ask Mrs. Lin to chat with her and give her more guidance while applying the ointment."

Lin Sui'an was holding the ointment in both hands as if holding a hot potato. She was at a loss. She was a shy person and was the worst at chatting, let alone educating others. After all, for such a difficult task, shouldn’t we find a professional psychiatrist?

Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind, "Let me accompany Mrs. Lin in."

Hua Yimeng is dressed in a white dress, with black hair like clouds, and no hair accessories. She is like an epiphyllum fairy walking at night, exuding a power that makes people feel peaceful.

Lin Sui'an was dumbfounded, Ling Zhiyan and Jin Ruo were stunned, Hua Yitang breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Lao is here."

Fang Ke liked to sleep, so the couch Mu Xia prepared was larger than the ones in other people's rooms. Except that there was no curtain, it was no different from a bed.

Qu Hui was lying on this couch, covered with a thin quilt. Although the powder on her face had been wiped off, she looked whiter, like a paper figure. Lin Sui'an felt that if he breathed even slightly louder, she could be blown away. .

Qu Hui heard the footsteps and opened her eyes with fluttering eyelashes. When she saw Lin Sui'an, her eyes lit up and she struggled to sit up. Hua Yimeng hurried over to support her and put two large cushions behind her back. , Qu Hui was stunned when he saw Hua Yimeng, and asked, "Are you... a fairy in the sky?"

Hua Yimeng laughed, "I am Hua Yitang's sister, Hua Yimeng."

"Yimeng... Nanke Yimeng..." Qu Hui murmured, "The people of the Hua family are all as beautiful as dreams..."

Lin Sui'an sat on the edge of the cave, holding up the ointment stiffly, "What wounds are there that haven't been treated with medicine?"

Qu Hui turned around and stared at Lin Sui'an's face for a long time, then said softly, "You are Lin Sui'an, Mrs. Lin."

Lin Sui'an nodded, "Yes."

"Thank you for saving me."

"Easy to do."

Qu Hui paused and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, I will never reveal your true identity to you."

Lin Sui'an was startled for a moment, and then realized that Qu Hui was talking about the identity of Yun Zhongyue, the number one thief in the world, and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

At this point, the blame can only be passed on to Yun Zhongyue, as the interest on the one hundred dollars he stole from Cheng County.

Hua Yimeng couldn't stand it anymore, so she just took off Qu Hui's clothes and said, "Apply the medicine first. You don't have to cover your mouth to apply the medicine. It won't delay the two of you chatting - hiss -"

Hua Yimeng took a breath. Qu Hui's chest and back were covered with whip marks. Her skin was turned out and oozing with blood, staining her inner clothes with blood. Lin Sui'an noticed that Qu Hui's inner clothes were stained with blood. There was also a cluster of gorgeous crabapple flowers embroidered on the clothes. From her perspective, they looked very similar to Lian Xiaoshuang's embroidery work.

Qu Hui noticed Lin Sui'an's gaze and smiled, "This is what Xiaoshuang taught me to embroider. She doesn't like single flowers, but only loves clusters of flowers. She says that this is how flowers should bloom together." , it’s beautiful and lively together.”

Without the thick powder on her face, Qu Hui seemed to have taken off the mask on her face, and all her emotions were displayed nakedly. Every time she mentioned Lian Xiaoshuang's name, she felt as if she was intimidated.

Lin Sui'an quickly looked at Hua Yimeng: What should I do, what should I do, help me, help me! What should I say now?

Hua Yimeng sighed helplessly, first dipped a clean handkerchief in hot water, and gently wiped Qu Hui's wound clean. She hooked the ointment with her white and green fingers and applied it little by little, "This is our Hua's special product." Yingyu Pain Removing Ointment has the effects of stopping bleeding, relieving pain, promoting muscle growth, and removing scars. My Shiro has been beaten by his eldest brother since he was a child. Thanks to this ointment, his appearance is not disfigured."

Qu Hui curled her fingers and endured the pain, "Thank you Hua Niang."

Hua Yimeng: "This is my Hua family's house. No one else can come in. You can rest assured that you will be raised here. When your injury is better, I will ask Shiro to take you to the government office to meet Wu Zhengli, who is eating shit." Absolute justice."

Qu Hui's body trembled violently, "Yi Jue?"

"The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that if a domestically violent wife behaves badly, the government can force her to excommunicate her, regardless of whether the couple agrees or not." Lin Sui'an said, "This is what Ling Sizhi said. Ling Sizhi is familiar with the Tang Law. He said Yes, that’s for sure.”

Qu Hui tightened her grip on the quilt, "I...can't be righteous."

Hua Yimeng stopped her hand and said, "Is it possible that you still have feelings for Wu Zhengli?"

Qu Hui shook her head firmly, "I have no friendship with him for a long time, but - my natal family has declined, and now I can only live by relying on the Wu family..."

Lin Sui'an: "I remember that your grandfather was a teacher and opened a private school."

Qu Hui lowered his eyes with a sad expression, "Five years ago, Feng opened Feng's private school in Yidu. Feng's private school was very famous. As soon as it came, it crowded out all the famous private schools in Yidu. My family's private school was also forced to Stopped. My grandfather has been teaching all his life. Seeing those students abandoning him, he couldn’t figure it out for a moment and died of depression. My uncle and uncle were both bookworms and knew nothing but reading and teaching. At that time, I had married Wu Wu Zhengli asked Wu Zhengli for help, and Wu Zhengli agreed. Now my uncle and uncle’s family are making a living in Wu’s Cloth Village, and my grandparents still rely on them to support them——"

Lin Sui'an was stunned: Has Mr. Feng ever committed such a crime before?

"This is simple." Hua Yimeng neatly applied the ointment and helped Qu Hui get dressed. "My Hua family also has several shops in Yidu. When the matter is over, I will ask your uncle to come to my Hua family's shop to work. , Don’t worry, the salary will definitely not be less than Wu’s.”

Qu Hui suddenly raised her eyes, "Is Hua Niang serious about this?!"

Hua Yimeng smiled sweetly, "I am the Hua family of Yangdu, and I promise you a thousand pieces of gold!"

Qu Hui was so happy that she got up and was about to kowtow on the ground. Lin Sui'an and Hua Yimeng hurriedly held her down.

Hua Yimeng: "No, no, no, I'm a thin-skinned person, so I can't bear such a big gift."

Lin Sui'an: "Hua Niang just applied the medicine, and when you moved, the wound opened again."

Qu Hui nodded repeatedly, "That's it, that's it...I've settled a major matter on my mind...very good, very good..."

Lin Sui'an said something was wrong, but Qu Hui's eyes were misty and her pupils were dull. Although her face was smiling, it was not a smile of relief, but a smile of liberation - Fang Ke was right, she had already decided to die.

Lin Sui'an quickly sent a distress signal to Hua Niang: What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?

Hua Yimeng frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "But I'm going to say something ugly first. I, the Hua family, have been established in business and never engage in loss-making business. I have helped you so much, but I have to pay for it."

Qu Hui: "Huh?"

Hua Yimeng stood up and scrawled a piece of paper on Fang Ke's desk, and brought it over, "Ms. Lin saved you today. I worked so hard and didn't sleep all night. Counting a hundred dollars, I see you are so injured." It will take at least ten days, with a 20% discount on clothing, food, accommodation and medicine, which is 500 guan, totaling 600 guan, how do you plan to repay me?"

Qu Hui almost fainted: "Six hundred sixty six hundred strings?!"

"If we break up with Wu Zhengli, we should be able to share some of the family property, plus your dowry -" Hua Yimeng bit her pen, "It probably won't be enough. Alas, forget it, I am a good person who will do my best and introduce you to work. Bar."

Qu Hui: "Do, work?!"

"I met the proprietress of a tea shop a few days ago. She is a nice person. The tea shop is doing well and is looking for a female tea doctor. I see that you are knowledgeable and sensible, and you meet her standards. Why don't you give it a try."

Lin Sui'an was surprised: "Is there any tea shop that recruits female tea doctors?"

"More and more women are drinking tea nowadays, and most of them don't like the service of male tea doctors. Female tea doctors understand women's tastes and thoughts better, and are more popular than male tea doctors." Hua Yimeng folded the IOU with a smile and stuffed it into Qu In Hui's lapel, "With your qualifications, you can earn six hundred guan in less than half a year, and all the money you earn from now on will be yours. Once you have money, buy a secluded house and plant hollyhocks, hibiscus, begonias, Seven-colored chrysanthemums, when the sun rises and the sun sets, enjoy the flowers in the spring, listen to the rain in the summer, watch the moon in the autumn, and smell the snow in the winter. When the first snow falls, Mrs. Lin and I will go to see you with a cup of hundred-flower tea, brewed with snow water. Tea must have a unique taste."

Qu Hui looked at Hua Yimeng blankly. Light gradually appeared in her dark eyes. More and more light gathered, and soon it filled her eyes and flowed down. Her ethereal smiling face disappeared and turned into a crying face. She cried. His facial features were deformed, his nose was filled with tears, and he covered his face and cried loudly, "Okay! Okay! We made an appointment...when it snows...together...to drink tea..."

Hua Yimeng's eyes sparkled, and she hugged Qu Hui gently, patting her back again and again.

Lin Sui'an silently gave a thumbs up: Hua Niang is mighty!

Hua Yimeng winked at Lin Sui'an.

Qu Hui cried for a whole stick of incense before she calmed down. She probably felt that she was very embarrassed. She took a handkerchief and dipped it in water. She wiped it carefully with her back to the two of them. She sat on the bed and saluted Lin Sui'an. "Ms. Meng Lin is so kind to me for saving my life. Even in my case, I will tell you everything that Mrs. Lin wants to know."

Lin Sui'an thought for a while. She was a layman when it came to trying cases, so she still needed to find outside help.

"If Madam Qu doesn't mind, could you please invite Hua Canjun and Ling Sizhi to attend the meeting together?"

A hint of fear flashed in Qu Hui's eyes.

"It doesn't matter, we can listen the same thing outside the house." Hua Yitang's voice came in from the window.

Ling Zhiyan: "Ms. Qu, don't be nervous. You can answer whatever Mrs. Lin asks. If it's inconvenient to tell, we won't force you to ask."

Hua Yimeng: "They are two grown men. They have tea and a place to sit outside. They are comfortable. But they feel uncomfortable when they come in."

Qu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really sorry to you two adults!"

Lin Sui'an gently pushed the window sash open a crack and saw Hua Yitang and Ling Zhiyan sitting in the garden. There were actually tea chairs. Hua Yitang shook his fan gently. The candlelight in the room divided his face into two halves, one half was bright and the other was dark, and the bright half contained a slight smile. Ling Zhiyan sat next to him, with eyes like stars and a straight posture, like an old monk in trance.

A thick layer of petals fell in the garden, and the fragrance of flowers and tea were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

The night wind blew in slowly and was a bit cold.

Lin Sui'an withdrew his gaze and said softly: "Then let's first talk about what kind of person Lian Xiaoshuang is."

Qu Hui's hair on the temples was gently blowing in the wind, her eyes were a little dazed, "The first time I saw Xiaoshuang was on a rainy night. She was dragged in by several servants. She was soaked and unconscious. At first glance, she was... He was drugged."

"Wu Zhengli hung her up in a secret room, stripped her of her clothes, and beat her with a whip dipped in salt water. Soon, Xiaoshuang woke up. She was shocked and angry at first, and then began to yell, scolding Wu Zhengli for robbing a good family son. He will be punished by being broken into pieces."

"I was shocked at the time. I couldn't imagine that a little girl with such a weak body could still have so much strength to curse others in such a humiliating state."

Lin Sui'an unconsciously clenched the handle of Qian Jing's knife, "So, Lian Xiaoshuang was snatched away by Wu Zhengli?!"

Qu Hui shook his head, "Lian Xiaoshuang was sold to Wu Zhengli to pay off gambling debts.":,,
