Chapter 85. A princess’s woman will never admit defeat (13)

But just kicking him was too easy.

"It's okay, it's okay. I will protect you and won't let him get close to you again. Don't be afraid." Chaoyang patted Shi Jiu’s back over and over to comfort her.

"Sister...is there something wrong with me? Why does he treat me like this...wuwuwu, I have worked hard to be kind and generous..." Shi Jiu asked with a sob.

Chaoyang wiped the tears off her face with her sleeves and said in a harsh tone: "You are very good, very good. He is blind and not worthy of you." 

“Sister... you are so kind."

"It's good to know, don't worry about it."

For the past few days, in order to take care of Shi Jiu, the "little white rabbit", Chaoyang took Shi Jiu to her villa to play.

The two of them hunted, dug out wild vegetables, and planted rice seedlings in the fields. They acted as happy as they felt.

Lu Beiyuan was left alone, staying at home despondently.

Lu Beiyuan had been kicked by each of them that day, and was dragged out without any regard to his face in the end. His face was almost completely lost in front of the servants in the mansion.

If he was injured from their kicks, it would be hard for him to go to the imperial doctor. After all, he was technically an official, and the imperial doctor could just barely be regarded as his colleague.

If the imperial doctor who treated him had loose lips and the other officials found out, he would be really embarrassed.

But he had been kicked twice in that area, and it really hurt at the time. He was afraid that it was really broken, so he had to have a doctor take a look.

Because he was afraid of being embarrassed, he could only quietly find an outside doctor.

It turned out that the doctor was a quack who couldn't cure him at all. He gave him an inspection for half an hour, and finally touched his beard and blindly prescribed medicine for him.

What deer antler...sheep tendon...

He almost lost it.

Even after being treated like that, he couldn't just cut off the doctor, but had to pay to seal the doctor's mouth.

When he was finally feeling better, he found time to trouble Shi Jiu, but found that his wife had run away with his concubine.

Run!

Run away!

The two of them went to play in another village, and he had to go to court. He had no time, couldn't be in two different places by himself, and couldn't find them.

Lu Beiyuan almost died of depression.

He could only write letters every day urging them to come back.

When they came back, he would definitely do it! He must take his revenge! As Lu Beiyuan was writing the letter, he threw away the pen and punched the table with his right fist.

"Sir..." The servant on the side picked up the pen, lowered his head, and presented it to him.

Lu Beiyuan's eyes were sinister and he didn't answer, "You, are you also laughing at me in your heart? Are you laughing at me for being harmed by two women? Is that so?" 

The servant's hands began shaking as he presented the pen. This had occurred many times these past few days.

Ever since Lu Beiyuan was dragged away in front of all the servants, he would ask a servant every time he saw them.

If you didn’t answer well, you would be beaten. If you were not beaten to death, you would be sold as a slave. If you were beaten to death...well, it was just your bad luck.

"Sir... I went out to buy things that day. I don't know what happened in the house." 

“It's okay, nothing happened. Go out." Lu Beiyuan rubbed his eyebrows and waved for him to go out.

"Yes, yes, yes." The servant breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped again.

"Find someone to deliver this letter. Be sure to... let them come back as soon as possible." Lu Beiyuan casually stuffed the letter he just wrote into the envelope and threw it to him.

"Yes." The servant took the letter and ran away.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

As it was, this servant had entered this specific mansion through his connections, thinking that since the top scholar was also from a poor family, he would be kinder to his servants.

It was indeed like this at the beginning. The champion had no airs at all. Although the salary was not much, the number one scholar kept asking questions every day, and they felt that they could get the number one scholar's care and make a profit.

Who knew, only a few days later, his true colors would be revealed.

He had to find a way to move farther away and go to Lady Lin. He had heard that she was a nice person and never beat or scolded her servants. There were also monetary bonuses during festivals.
