Li Yu turned to the head of the bed and muttered to herself about the jade gourd. She took out the Golden Injury Medicine that Mr. Wen had concocted, pills, a dagger, gauze, and rope from her space. She fed the medicine to her first, then poured the wine into a bowl and lit it. After that, she placed the dagger on it to disinfect it.
After everything was ready, Li Yu turned around and took out a handkerchief to fold. She looked at Liu Yulian and said in an encouraging tone, “Bite the handkerchief. I’ll tie you to the bed. It will hurt this time. You might not be able to take it.”
“Okay,” Liu Yulian agreed docilely.
Li Yu tied Liu Yulian to the wooden bed and gouged out the rotten flesh on her feet. Liu Yulian trembled and fainted without a word.
Li Yu probed under her nose. Seeing that she was only unconscious, she quickened her movements and quickly cut the rotten flesh clean. She washed the wound with strong wine and sprinkled Golden Injury Medicine on it before wrapping it in gauze.
She washed the wounds on her body with strong wine and checked her pulse.
Only then did she put on a dress for her, cover her with the blanket, and pull open the door to leave.
After going out, she saw that there was no one outside the room. Li Yu turned around had looked at Liu Yulian, who was lying on the bed. She thought to herself that this woman has endured pain that ordinary people can’t with her weak body just because she didn’t know if her daughter was fine.
A woman was weak, to begin with, but as a mother, she was firm. For her child, she displayed unimaginable willpower.
Liu and Han San searched the house but couldn’t find any trace of Ling’er. They rushed to the hall anxiously and fearfully. “Where did Linger go? Return Ling’er to me.” Steamed Bun Liu hissed and bit and kicked He Yuqing.
Yangyang and Little Loach were pulled into Zhou Jia and Mr. Wen’s arms.
He Yuqing was suppressed by Zhao Cai and shouted for help. His face was covered in blood from Steamed Bun Liu’s attacks. Zhou Jia said coldly, “Tell me the child’s whereabouts. Otherwise, you’ll be bitten to death by Boss Liu!”
He Yuqing was terrified and hurriedly said, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I locked her in the hut at the back of the courtyard.”
“Animal, that’s the house with the junk. That’s your biological child.”
Steamed Bun Liu got up and stumbled as he turned around and ran. Han San hurriedly followed. He saw Steamed Bun Liu go to the back of the courtyard and open a dark hut. He saw a five or six-year-old girl with a head full of straw and a dirty face sitting blankly on a pile of grass.
Baozi Liu rushed up and hugged her. “Ling’er, be good. Grandpa is here. Ling’er…”
Bun Liu shouted a few times before the little girl saw Bun Liu. “Don’t cry, Ling’er, be good. Don’t cry…’
Tears streamed down Han San’s face as he turned to leave.
Li Yu guarded Liu Yulian’s bed. When she saw Liu Yulian suddenly open her eyes, she waved her hands. “Ling’er is talking. Ling’er is crying.”
Li Yu held her hand and comforted her gently. “Don’t be agitated. I’ll go take a look. ”
Liu Yulian looked at Li Yu’s warm gaze and gradually calmed down. Just as Li Yu reached the door, she saw Liu Xi carrying a thin and dirty little girl over angrily.
The little girl had an oval face and a pair of big black eyes, but her expression was a little dull.
When Steamed Bun Liu saw Li Yu, he said excitedly, “Madam, we found her. We found Ling’er.”
“What a cute little girl. Bring her in! Her mother is already awake.” Li Yu moved to the side and let the grandfather and granddaughter in.
“Ling’er.” Li Yu heard a concerned and weak shout from the room. Li Yu’s heart ached. She stood there and walked towards the hall.
Steamed Bun Liu said to Ling’er, “Good Ling’er, look, your mother is there.”
“Ling’er, Mother’s baby, Linger, look at Mother…” Liu Yulian’s voice was weak as she called her daughter’s name.
Ling’er’s eyes changed when she saw Liu Yulian. Tears rolled down her face. “Mother, Mother…” Ling’er cried and reached out to Liu Yulian. The three generations hugged their heads and cried.
Li Yu walked to the hall and saw a group of people at the entrance of the restaurant. A curvaceous and seductive woman got out of the carriage and walked to the entrance of the restaurant. Behind her was the restaurant shopkeeper. Li Yu saw that she looked a little familiar and remembered that she had seen her in the Hundred Flowers Garden. She wondered to herself if this woman could be related to He Yuqing.
Li Yu walked to Zhou Jia’s side. Yangyang grabbed Li Yu’s hand. “Mother, where did you go?”
Li Yu held her hand and sat on the chair Zhou Jia pulled out. She said gently, “I went to help an aunt.”
At this moment, the shopkeeper and the woman also walked into the hall with their men. The shopkeeper saw He Yuqing lying on the ground with blood on his face and pointed at Li Yu and the others. “Madam, look, my master was
beaten up by them.”
“Country Lord Ning,” He Yuqing shouted hoarsely when he saw her, revealing a few big holes in his front teeth.
He Yuqing realized that Country Lord Ning was looking at him with disdain. He hurriedly covered his mouth and felt a chill in his heart.
Country Lord Ning turned to look at Zhou Jia, who was sitting at the side, and her eyes lit up. In the blink of an eye, she saw Li Yu, who was sitting beside Zhou Jia, and her eyes darkened.
The granny behind Country Lord Ning took a step forward and shouted at Li Yu and the others, “How dare you? Madam has arrived. Why aren’t you bowing when you see her?”
Zhou Jia looked at her mockingly and stood up casually. He cupped his hands at the woman. “Country Lord Ning.”
“How dare you be so rude?” The granny shouted.
Zhou Jia glanced at her. “How dare you talk to me about etiquette? Who do you think you are?”
The granny was speechless. Country Lord Ning looked at Zhou Jia and then at
Li Yu. She chuckled and said, “So it’s Madam Li and Lord Zhou. I’m sorry.”
Li Yu looked at her mockingly. Zhou Jia cupped his hands indifferently. “Sure.”
Country Lord Ning glanced at He Yuqing, who had been helped up by the shopkeeper. She looked at Zhou Jia and revealed a charming smile. “May I know how Boss He offended Lord Zhou?”
Li Yu thought to herself that the damn woman was seducing her man in front of her.
“He didn’t offend me. We just saw injustice on the way,” Zhou Jia said coldly.
Country Lord Ning had never been treated so coldly by anyone. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and said coldly, “I wonder what unforgivable thing Boss He did? Why is Lord Zhou abusing him like this?”
“It’s not worth pitying such a beast to die.” Li Yu looked at He Yuqing with a dense coldness in her eyes. She turned around and looked at her mockingly. “The reason is very simple. Follow me to take a look.”
Country Lord Ning was embarrassed and angry by Li Yu’s mocking gaze. She said coldly, ‘Madam Li, please.”
Zhou Jia handed Yangyang to Han San and helped Li Yu to the backyard. When the group reached the backyard, Li Yu said to Country Lord Ning, “The people resting inside are extremely weak and their bodies are covered in wounds. It’s better not to let too many people in.”
Country Lord Ning was stunned for a moment. She said to his followers behind her, “You guys stay here.”
Li Yu brought Country Lord Ning into the room and saw the three generations of the Liu family with tears on their faces. Li Yu said to Steamed Bun Liu, “Uncle, bring Ling’er out for a while..”
