Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

Yue Niang looked at Zhou Jingxuan with tears in her eyes. She was in such a state, but this man didn't react at all.

She shook her teeth and struggled violently, and the old man was caught off guard and she broke free from his hands.

But Yue Niang was not much better off. A large clump of her hair was pulled out, and there were two bright red slap marks on her face.

She broke free while the old man wasn't paying attention and ran towards Zhou Jingxuan, but after only two or three steps, the old man grabbed her hair.

She cried out in pain and was then dragged to the ground.

There were whispers all around, some felt sorry for Yue Niang, but no one dared to anger the old man.

Some people also felt that Yue Niang deserved it. Just like what the old man said, she clearly sold herself to bury her father, and he had already given her money, but she still picked on him.

Everyone had different thoughts, but no one offered a helping hand.

Despair appeared on Yue Niang's face, and finally Xu Ning couldn't bear it anymore.

He stepped forward and shouted, "Let her go."

"They don't want to go with you and they don't want your money, why are you doing this?"

The old man looked up at Xu Ning and was about to curse back, but the moment he saw Xu Ning, he immediately forced a smile.

"Oh, it's Master Xu,"

"Why do you also like this woman?"

"This woman is very generous. She would definitely be very happy if it was you."

After saying this, he glared at Yue Niang fiercely and said, "You are lucky that Master Xu has taken a fancy to you today."

"I just reluctantly gave it up."

After saying this, the old man left. Their Wang family had business dealings with the Xu family.

Although he has no resistance to beauty, he still has the brains to know what is important.

It's not worth offending the Xu family for this woman.

The losses by then would be enough for him to find countless women.

Why bother!

Xu Ning felt sorry for her miserable appearance, so he said softly, "Take the silver and go home to bury your father."

Yue Niang looked up at Xu Ning and knocked her head heavily on the ground: "Thank you very much, young master."

Then he explained: "Yue Niang is not the kind of person who clings to the powerful."

"The reason why I don't want to go with them is because they don't want to buy Yue Niang back home as a slave."

"But..."

She bit her lips gently, her cheeks feeling a little hot. She was still an unmarried woman and couldn't say such words.

"Although Yue Niang's family is poor, she knows the rules of propriety, righteousness, and honor."

"Thank you for your rescue today. When Yue Niang returns, she will bury her father and will obey your orders in the future."

Xu Ning quickly waved his hand: "Miss, I don't need anyone to serve me."

"This money is for you to bury your father. Just live a good life in the future."

Yue Niang pursed her lips and stopped talking. She turned around and struggled to tie up the corpse under the white cloth with a hemp rope, then carried it back step by step with difficulty.

Xu Ning didn't care about this episode.

But Xu Yan whispered: "That Yue Niang looks really pitiful."

Jiang Si didn't respond, but just curled the corners of her lips.

Is it really pitiful?

Not always.

If she was so noble, why would she sell herself to bury her father?

She didn't want to leave with the old man, but was willing to accept Xu Ning's money.

And he asked Zhou Jingxuan for help again and again.

With so many people present, she was really persistent and only stared at Jing Xuan.

This is intriguing.

And since she chose to sell herself to bury her father, didn't she expect what she would experience?

She should have thought about the consequences, and does she think that everyone in the world is a bodhisattva?

Do you still need to support it after spending money?

With her physique, she can't do many things and can only do simple tasks.

If she wanted to do that, she could just find someone to sell her out, and then she would have some money.

So, if her guess was correct, Jiang Si felt that the girl would come back soon.

This episode passed quickly. Xu Ning didn't care about it. He just thought that Zhou Jingxuan was there because of Miss Jiang.

He was very envious of the relationship between the two.

He thought of his mother, who had stayed in the backyard for decades and only moved around Huai County at most.

My father can travel all over the country and see the rivers and mountains.

My mother said she once taught my sister: "A woman should obey her husband after marriage, and should not show her face in public after marriage."

"She should take care of her husband and children and manage the harem."

But when he saw Brother Zhou and Miss Jiang, he felt that love could be like this.

He thought that if his sister wanted to get married in the future, he would definitely find someone like Brother Zhou.

Unlike my mother, who after getting married was like being trapped in a cage called the backyard by invisible chains.

If he gets married in the future, he will take his wife with him to travel around.

When they parted, Zhou Jingxuan gave Xu Ning a few instructions, warning him to be careful recently.

Xue Yang didn't move at all, he must be holding back something big.

An Er had provoked him so much, how could he not react?

There is only one possibility, that he is plotting some big conspiracy.

Xu Ning nodded: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will be careful."

In the following days, Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si explored almost every corner of Huai County. Huai County was not big, so they understood it thoroughly in just a few days.

Under normal circumstances, they should have left Huai County.

But Xue Yang's issue has not been resolved yet. If they leave, not only will the Xu family suffer, but with people like Xue Yang around, who knows how many people will suffer at their hands.

The two decided that since there was nothing else to do at the moment, they would wait until Xue Yang's situation was resolved before slowly heading south.

On the third day, the woman who sold her body came up to him.

That day, Zhou Jingxuan and Xu Ning were drinking tea in a teahouse. After Yue Niang had buried her father and inquired about everything, she walked in without hesitation and knelt in front of Xu Ning: "Thanks to you for saving me that day."

"Now that Yue Niang has buried her father, she has come to find you, young master."

"Yue Niang accepted the young master's money, so she can't take it for free."

"Young Master can arrange for Yue Niang to do any dirty or tiring work. Yue Niang is willing to do anything. She only hopes that she can pay back the Young Master's money as soon as possible."

Xu Ning waved his hand: "Really, it's not necessary. That ingot of silver is not much, it's just a small favor."

"You can live your life in peace."

When Yue Niang heard him say this, her eyes began to turn red.

The wound on her face has healed in the past few days.

She was wearing mourning clothes and had a white flower in her ear, which made her look extremely fragile.

She looked at Xu Ning with tears in her eyes, and said in a voice with some resentment: "Master, do you dislike Yue Niang?"

"Yue Niang has no other options."

"Please give Yue Niang a chance to repay her kindness."

Xu Ning quickly said: "I don't have it, I really don't need it."

"I don't want you to pay back the money."

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan looked at each other and could see the meaning in each other's eyes.

Xu Ning is really naive. He can't see through Yue Niang's little tricks at all.

But for Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan, these methods are not enough.
