Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1719: Death Grudge

Xue Zhiyi, who was being restrained, shouted to the leader, "Your target is me, let her go, I’ll go with you."

Hearing this, An’an cried anxiously, sobbing as she said, "Master, don’t mind me, don’t mind me."

However, Xue Zhiyi seemed not to hear An’an’s cries and continued speaking to the man, "Let her go, I’ll go with you to see your master."

Xue Zhiyi has traveled a lot and met all kinds of people.

The people who came were clearly trained and not ordinary, who was the master behind them? Why capture him? All this he didn’t know, but he clearly understood that he couldn’t let An’an get into trouble.

Xue Zhiyi’s words didn’t stir a ripple in the leader’s expression; he simply waved his hand.

Just like that, Xue Zhiyi and An’an were taken away.

Everything happened so fast, Chuntao’s brother watched as the two were abducted but when the carriage rushed over, it was already too late.

Chuntao’s brother was anxious beyond words; he whipped the horse and went back to report and gather people.

...

In an inconspicuous little courtyard in Shibao Town,

Xue Zhiyi and An’an were brought there.

But the two were locked up separately.

Looking at the sealed room, Xue Zhiyi sat there feeling slightly calm.

Because his hands and feet were not restrained, was it disdain from the other side or what?

However, he could be sure of one thing, that he and An’an were currently safe.

He thought he wouldn’t be kept locked up like this; those people’s master would definitely come to see him.

He would first see if those people’s master was human or ghost, and why capture him?

Suddenly, there was a noise at the courtyard gate, his mind became alert but he remained seated calmly.

The door opened.

A young and handsome man walked in.

Seeing the newcomer, he sat there, calmly asking, "Why did you capture me?"

Such a reaction made the young man hesitate slightly, but then he spoke, "Divine Doctor Xue, just as the rumors say, you remain calm even when captured, are you not afraid that I’ll harm you?"

"Young lad still wet behind the ears, I bet you wouldn’t dare."

These words seemed to anger the handsome young man, who stepped forward, grabbed Xue Zhiyi by the collar, and pulled him up fiercely, saying harshly, "Do you think I dare not?"

This reaction caught Xue Zhiyi by surprise; the handsome young man in front of him appeared to have a deep-seated hatred as if there was some enmity between them, why was that?

Xue Zhiyi grabbed the young man’s hand, speaking roguishly, "Young people shouldn’t be so hot-tempered, can’t we talk things over? Do we have some grudge between us that warrants such treatment?"

The young man frowned, darkened his face, "Of course."

Those eyes were filled with hatred towards him, Xue Zhiyi could tell, but he couldn’t think of what grudge it might be, "What grudge?"

The man’s mouth opened and closed, uttering two heavy words, "A mortal grudge."

Hearing these words, Xue Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat; if it was a mortal grudge, he probably wouldn’t be let off so easily.

So how would he and An’an escape, if it were just him, it would be fine, he’s an expert in poisons and could poison at such close range, but An’an was taken somewhere unknown, he couldn’t act rashly. If it were possible, he should have poisoned them when he was first captured, but An’an was held hostage.
