Chapter 154: Adding Fuel To The Fire
Jiang Yihuan rubbed her sore neck and sat up.
“Where is this place?”
She looked puzzled at the dilapidated bamboo hut in front of her, thought of what happened before she fell into a coma, quickly crawled up from the broken wooden plank bed, ran to the doorway, but couldn’t open the door no matter what.
“Is anyone there? Help… Open the door! Open the door quickly!” Jiang Yihuan shouted loudly, “Su Yaoguang, I know it’s you, let me out, this is a crime…”
“Help! What do you want to do? Save me…”
“Su Yaoguang, I was wrong, I won’t dare anymore, I really won’t dare… Please spare me! Su Yaoguang…”
“Xiao Gege save me, save me… I don’t want to be locked up here.”
Jiang Yihuan kept slapping the door, shouting loudly while slapping, and after shouting for a long time, her throat became more and more unusable.
“Mother… Mother save me… Mother…”
Jiang Yihuan got up, opened the window, but that window was sealed shut.
The entire room had only that wooden plank bed and some dilapidated bamboo items. Those things had no weight, it was impossible to smash the door with them. There were also some stinky clothes, the smell was almost fumigating her to death.
Wait a minute…
Clothes?
This dilapidated bamboo hut clearly hadn’t been lived in for a long time, how could there be so many stinky clothes?
Jiang Yihuan looked at those clothes in horror and screamed: “Su Yaoguang, you’re too ruthless!”
Wen Shi held chicken soup and fed it to Xiao Yanci. Seeing him finish it, she said softly: “Young Master’s appetite has been good for a long time, it seems he can go down the mountain soon.”
“This is a Buddhist Holy Land, isn’t it not good to stew chicken soup?” Xiao Yanci asked.
The several scholars nearby glanced at each other and simultaneously showed disgusted expressions.
If he really thought it was not good, he should have said so before eating, and then not eat it, but now he finished the chicken and soup, and started reflecting that eating chicken was not good.
“This is wild chicken from the mountain, I bought it from a hunter, didn’t go to the temple kitchen, but found a pit in the mountain to stew it and send it over.” Wen Shi said, “Young Master had such a serious illness, you must nourish your body well.”
“You have a kind heart.”
“This is what I should do.” Wen Shi looked puzzled at the doorway, “Strange, why haven’t I seen Miss Jiang? Young Master, could Miss Jiang have gotten lost? I’ll go look for her.”
“She’s been on the mountain for more than a day or two, this place isn’t that hard to find, how could she get lost? She still has a child’s temperament, probably can’t stand the hardship of caring for people, when I see her later, I’ll have her go down the mountain, so as not to delay her time.”
“Miss Jiang is so sincere to Young Master, she must want to stay by your side to take care of you. It’s just that she’s young and doesn’t know how to care for people. I’ll teach her, she’s so smart she’ll definitely learn it in one go.”
Xiao Yanci hesitated for a moment and acquiesced to her suggestion.
He still believed that Jiang Yihuan loved him. If she didn’t love him, in her previous life she wouldn’t have followed him for many years without name or status, and even given birth to such a cute child for him.
However, until evening, Jiang Yihuan still didn’t appear.
Wen Shi went to inquire for news, but no one knew where Jiang Yihuan had gone, and when she returned, she explained the situation to Xiao Yanci, who angrily pounded the floor.
“Young Master, Miss Jiang might…”
“Don’t speak for her.” Disgust flashed in Xiao Yanci’s eyes. “This is her so-called feelings. Heh, really funny.”
A triumphant look flashed in Wen Shi’s eyes.
That stinky girl finally left.
She had to seize this opportunity well, to let Xiao Yanci know that she was the one who truly treated him well.
At this moment, inside the dilapidated bamboo hut, Jiang Yihuan was so hungry she had no strength to shout. She thought those people locked her here to starve her to death alive, but then she smelled the aroma of food.
At this time, a small bowl was pushed in through a small hole nearby, with a bowl of corn paste in it.
She quickly grabbed the bowl, reached out through the hole to grab the person delivering the food, but that person retreated very quickly, not giving her this opportunity at all.
She lay on the ground, looked outside through the hole, and shouted: “Don’t go.”
She only saw a man’s feet.
“Help me tell Su Yaoguang, I was wrong, I won’t dare anymore, let me out, please…”
Zhou Wangshu listened to the voice inside, arms crossed over his chest, eyes mocking.
This woman was the best liar in the world. The more pitiful she sounded now, the more ruthless her revenge would be later. Su Yaoguang only said to make her wear the patient’s clothes, to scare her a bit. But that was too lenient for her. He wanted her to fully enjoy here the fear of not knowing moment to moment what might happen, and the pain after getting infected, the feeling of wishing for death but not dying.
“I know you haven’t left. You’re Zhou Wangshu, right? Let me out, as long as you let me out, I’m willing to do anything for you. I… I actually like you a lot. Do you really want to lock me up?”
Zhou Wangshu sneered: “What dirty thing dares to come near this young master? Do you think your liking is that precious? Only a fool like Xiao Ci would be deceived by a venomous woman like you. Listen carefully, a woman like you isn’t even worthy of carrying Yaoguang’s shoes. You should be grateful that Yaoguang is fine, if she was hurt at all, it wouldn’t be as simple as locking you up here. Stay here and repent properly, when this young master is satisfied, maybe I’ll let you out.”
“Zhou, does Su Yaoguang know how vicious you are?” Jiang Yihuan went all out, shouting loudly, “I’m afraid Su Yaoguang doesn’t even know you locked me up, right?”
Zhou Wangshu chuckled lightly: “Yeah, she doesn’t know. This kind of dirty work, I’ll handle it. She doesn’t need to know.”
“You’re so vicious, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Su Yaoguang, and then she won’t like you anymore.”
“Then you’ll have to get out alive first! Miss Jiang, provoking me now isn’t what a smart person should do. This place is deep in the mountains, even the monks in the temple have completely forgotten about it. What do you think would happen if I didn’t send food for a few days?”
“Zhou Wangshu, I was wrong, I won’t tell Su Yaoguang. Let me out, please. After I get out, whenever I see Su Yaoguang in the future, I’ll avoid her.”
“Depends on your performance.” Zhou Wangshu said indifferently, “If you recite every day a thousand times ‘I am a vicious, selfish, lowly woman, not even worthy of carrying shoes for Su Yaoguang’, maybe when I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you out.”
“Ah…” Jiang Yihuan broke down.
Zhou Wangshu laughed very happily: “Scream a few more times, that sound is nice.”
Su Yaoguang could finally go out.
She tilted her head to bask in the sun and said: “So this is what it feels like to be locked up recuperating from illness! The patients stay in the zen room for a whole month, they really suffered.”
“Boss Su, you’re alright?” The people who helped care for the patients saw her appear and happily greeted her.
“Yeah, I’m better, these days really troubled you all.” Su Yaoguang said.
