Chapter 117 Making You Suffer Terribly in Pain [1] Part 1/6

Zi You revealed a smile as elegant as lilies. Her pair of eyes was like amethysts as she confidently nodded. "Everything is within your granddaughter's expectations. Grandfather, when we arrive at Duke Yongnan fu, think of a way to distract Duke Yongnan and his wife. I will act according to the circumstances."

"Then you be careful." Old General Mu was worried. "I'm afraid that Zhao HongXiang won't have good intentions."

Zi You shook her head in disdain. "You'er isn't afraid of him when he wasn't ill. And now he's this ill? If he dares to be impudent, You'er will turn him into a eunuch!"

"Ai!" Old General Mu chided lovingly. "How can a guniang be so rough?"

Zi You acted spoiled as she pulled on her grandfather's arm. She laughed like silver bells ringing. "Haha...... It's you...... You'er naturally doesn't need to be scrupulous."

Old General Mu originally wanted to tell her to pay attention to her words and actions no matter the occasion. But once he thought that since Dier left, he had rarely seen his granddaughter laugh so cheerfully; how could he bear to reprimand her?

Thus, he lovingly patted Zi You's head. His loving eyes landed on Zi You's slim figure. He couldn't help but be distressed and proud.

He slightly sighed and worriedly said, "Don't force yourself, You'er. As long as grandfather is here, the responsibility to protect Mu fu will not fall onto your shoulders. If that Zhao HongXiang acts out, just take action. With grandfather here, no one will bully you."

"I understand." Zi You's heart was warm.

She thought about how her father, Mu YingRui, came to visit her only once when she was "injured" with the excuse of it being inconvenient because he was injured. He brought Shui YouLian back before she even "recovered." His coldness was nothing compared to her grandfather's warmth.

She was more determined to protect Mu fu, grandfather, and uncle now.

She pounced into Old General Mu's arms and tightly hugged him. She said resoundingly and forcefully, "Grandfather, I am your granddaughter. Your blood flows though my veins. I have responsibility to protect Mu fu and my loved ones. Don't worry. I said I will become strong. One day, I will be strong enough that I won't fear any enemy who wants to plot against or murder us."

She was completely naïve and ignorant in her previous life. She only knew that she had no worries under her grandfather and uncle's protection. She lived foolishly and finally ended up with the destruction of her family.

In this lifetime, she would not allow herself to be so weak and naïve. No matter who it was who wanted to harm her or her family, she would counterattack resolutely! She would make them pay a bloody price.

Shangguan Lingluo, Taizi, Third Wangzi. I will let you be happy for a few days. Wait until my spiritual power and martial arts are stronger. I certainly will not let you off!

Because she was angry, Zi You's eyes turned purple. No one saw her at this moment. Otherwise, one would certainly be shocked by her beauty.

The world's most beautiful purple crystal or amethyst couldn't possibly compare to that pair of purple eyes.

Zi You went with her grandfather to Duke Yongnan fu. Duke Yongnan was already impatient from waiting.

He became overjoyed after seeing them. He excitedly said, "You're here, Old General and You'er. I am very grateful! If my son gets better, I will keep my promise and never renege!"

"Let's not be long-winded. Let's take a look at your son's illness first." Old General Mu's impression of him soured. So how could he still treat him politely?

Zi You looked around when they arrived at Zhao HongXiang's room. Like in the past, the decorations were all luxurious treasures. Antique jades were on display everywhere.

It could be seen what Zhao HongXiang's position in Duke Yongnan's heart was.

Zi You secretly sneered. She couldn't help but look at Zhao HongXiang. This one look made her feel very refreshed.

She saw that the fake gongzi had been tortured by his illness until his face was pale white. He was thin and haggard.

The room was filled with an unpleasant odor. Even top-quality incense could not make that smell disappear.

Zi You lamented over Silver Light Rain's toxicity. Only a little, but it was enough to rot Zhao HongXiang's flesh. Even his muscles were rotting. Not even the imperial doctors could diagnose the problem.

This rotten odor was so strong must be because the flesh in the hollow behind Zhao HongXiang's knee was rotting badly.

Zi You put on a handmade face mask and deer leather gloves. She then said to Duke Yongnan and Old General Mu, "Can grandfather and Duke please leave the room to avoid cross-contamination? It's enough to leave behind Qiyan and the two maidservants to help me."

The two maidservants called Chunhua and Qiuyue were two of Zhao HongXiang's four first-rank maidservants.

Their clothes were almost comparable to an ordinary household's xiaojie. They were wearing high-quality silks and satins.

They had outstanding appearances and slim physiques. Their actions and words contained enchanting charm.

Only, they looked in displeasure at Zi You. They secretly looked at her with eyes filled with hostility.

Zi You's voice was like a yellow warbler leaving the valley. The groggy and dozing Zhao HongXiang was awoken by it.

He didn't pay attention to the pain he was in. He turned towards the direction of the voice and weakly asked, "You'er, is it you? Did you come?"

"It's me," Zi You replied. She walked to the front of Zhao HongXiang's bed and lightly helped him up. She indifferently said, "I pay respects to Shizi. Duke came to the fu this morning and wants me to treat your illness. Please cooperate and stay still. Let me take your pulse and check your wound."

As she was talking, she was thinking ruthlessly to herself,'Zhao HongXiang, I was gentle and virtuous in my previous life, but was abandoned by you like old shoes. In this lifetime, I will have you head over heels and infatuated by me. When you can't be without me anymore, I'll let you taste the pain and suffering of my previous life.'

Zhao HongXiang finally recovered some spirit. He excitedly said, "Good, good. It's just that the wound on my leg has festered. The smell is really bad. You can't dislike me for it."

"I won't." Zi You's voice softened a little bit. She also deliberately went closer to him. "Don't worry about it. Focus on recuperating. You will definitely get better."

Zhao HongXiang looked into Zi You's clear eyes. They were like a deep well glittering with a clear light as if they wanted to suck his soul into them.

Zhao HongXiang looked stupidly at her and ignored the weakness in his body and the pain in his leg. He couldn't help but reach out his dirty hand towards her peerless face.

Zi You retreated with lightning speed. Her heart secretly hated him. This slag male was already ill to this point, but was still lustful.

Wait a little bit. If I don't have you screaming out in pain hovering between life and death, then I can't show off my ability.

Thinking of this, Zi You coldly ordered Zhao HongXiang's maidservants. "I'll first take your Shizi's pulse. Then I will examine and treat his leg. It might be very painful then. You must hold him down."

Zi You then said to Qiyan, "Qiyan, prepare the medicine, knife, and scissors."

Qiyan immediately wrapped a silk scarf around Zhao HongXiang's wrist. She also brought a chair for Zi You to sit. Zi You looked mockingly at Zhao HongXiang's maidservants who looked at her with guarded eyes. She coldly snorted. "You two are Shizi Ye's first-rank maidservants? You're not attentive at all. This Xiaojie is a guest. You don't serve me tea, but you don't even prepare a chair for this Xiaojie. No wonder you can't serve Shizi Ye well and let him fall ill to this state."

These two maidservants were having an affair with Zhao HongXiang. But he even called out "You'er" in his sleep. Of course, they held hostility towards Zi You.

When Zi You came, they glared at her with jealousy.

When they saw Zhao HongXiang looking stupidly at her, they became even more jealous.

Zi You deliberately said what she said. The reason was that in her previous life, Zhao HongXiang's maidservants were bad people. They were nasty characters who wanted to climb onto his bed. These two first-rank maidservants called Qiuyue and Chunhua were even worse. They became accomplices who helped Yu Lanxuan deal with Zi You later on.

Zi You certainly wouldn't give up any chance to take care of them.

Sure enough, Zhao HongXiang heard Zi You's words and immediately yelled in a hoarse voice, "Scram out. Call Xiahe and Dongmei over."

The two aggrieved maidservants left. After a while, two maidservants who dressed and looked the same as the two previous maidservants came in.

But they knew how to curtsy and salute Zi You. They brewed tea and served it to Zi You.

However, Zi You did not drink it. She quietly diagnosed Zhao HongXiang. About five minutes later, she stood up and said to Xiahe and Dongmei, "Take out your Shaoye's injured leg. I want to check the wound."

The two maidservants were contemptuous. They thought,'What general's Di granddaughter? So low and cheap. She not only learns medicine, but wants to see men's limbs. She's no different from those lowly doctors in the city.'

Their hearts looked down on Zi You, but they treated Zhao HongXiang with dedication.

In spite of Zhao HongXiang's wound, they still did not wear masks. And they also didn't dare to reveal the slightest trace of aversion.

They carefully exposed Zhao HongXiang's injured leg. Then they stood aside and didn't move.

"Remove the cotton bandages," Zi You ordered once again.

Zi You secretly generated her spiritual power as she looked at the maidservants' eyes that were filled with despise.

As the cotton bandages were being removed, Qiyan couldn't help but turn her head away.

Zi You took a look at the wound. It was within her expectations. The rotting flesh was about the size of a child's fist. Reddish yellow pus oozed out. The bad odor made people want to vomit.

Zi You lightly used her spiritual power and the two maidservants couldn't help but feel nauseous. They ran out and vomited non-stop.

Zhao HongXiang didn't care about his pain and shame and viciously scolded, "Cheap maids! You dare you show contempt for Ye?"

His mouth scolded, but his heart felt more grateful towards Zi You.

Even maidservants who had served him since childhood were averse to him. But Zi You did not move and carefully examined the wound. She comforted, "Xiang gege, don't worry about it and don't get angry. They're just two servants. It's not worth it."

"You'er." Zhao HongXiang wanted to move his hand and touch her again.

Zi You took the opportunity to use her spiritual power on the wound.

Zhao HongXiang immediately felt a heart-piercing and gut-wrenching pain that spread throughout his body.
