Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Shen Huaixu lied without blinking an eye: "I don't know. Before she came to Nanxia, ​​she possessed another person. Unfortunately, she offended me. I had her driven out of Dajin and looted a lot of her things. I found that those things were rare in the world, so I went to consult the most prestigious master in the capital. He only said four words - 'outside the world'."

Wu Li repeated, "People from outside the sky, people from outside the sky... So that's how it is."

Wu Li suddenly started to cough heart-wrenchingly. She suppressed the bloody smell rising in her throat and asked, "One last question - will she still be conscious?"

Shen Huaixu answered very straightforwardly this time, "No."

Wu Li smiled, and her tired eyes covered with white film seemed as bright and affectionate as before. She stood up, covering her chest, and bowed deeply to Shen Huaixu.

When she stood up again, her eyes were moist. She slowly sat back on the futon and said, "I will tell you everything you want to know."

"I want to ask about the Wu family."

Wu Li's face turned even paler in an instant. After a long moment, she smiled miserably, "You should know that I killed the head of the Wu family, right? I don't regret it, not at all."

Her hoarse voice was full of stubbornness. "If I could, I would kill everyone with the surname Wu. Unfortunately, I don't have time."

Shen Huaixu's eyes sparkled as he clapped his hands, "What a coincidence! I'll help you!"

She looked at the woman in front of her with a smile on her face. She had to admit that this girl was quite to her liking.

From the conversation, Shen Huaixu could tell that this person's innocence had not been worn away by time, and he could gain her trust with just a little empathy.

This is based on her willingness to trust someone, but unfortunately, the person she trusted was not sincere. In addition, she is tenacious, vindictive, and willing to take risks.

Wu Li was speechless for a moment, but then she thought it was nothing strange. She knew that He Yin had a little servant named Shen Huaixu. He Yin was now the regent of Nanxia Kingdom, so it was understandable that Shen Huaixu helped him deal with the Wu family.

Seeing that she was distracted, Shen Huaixu urged her: "If the Wu family hadn't treated you badly, you wouldn't have killed the Wu family, right? Don't tell me you've softened your heart."

"No." Wu Li said, "I know a lot of the Wu family's secret dealings, and there is only one thing that can eradicate them completely - the Wu family is secretly selling official positions and titles. It is related to cheating in the imperial examinations, and the matter involves a wide range of people. The head of the Wu family is very careful, so he handed the matter over to a distant relative of his. There are two account books, hidden in a bookstore and a pawnshop in Xiangyi City. This is all I know. I don't know the relative's name or which two shops they belong to."

"These are enough." Shen Huaixu didn't expect Wu Li to be so straightforward, and a smile appeared on his face.

In the space, after Fu Yin got the news, he stood up and said to Shen Huaixu: "The court will be held soon. I'm leaving first. You can catch up on your sleep and don't rush on your way."

Shen Huaixu smiled even more, [Okay, you also remember to rest.]

She was about to stand up, but after thinking for a while, she remained seated and spoke again, "As far as I know, the symptoms of the villagers in the village where you mined fluorite are not similar to yours, Miss Li. Miss, can you let me take your pulse?"

The medical skills of the doctors of the Southern Xia Kingdom are not as good as those of the doctors of the Great Jin Dynasty. Although she is not proficient in some areas, she is still ranked among the best in Tanyuan City.

Most importantly, she was curious about why Wu Li was blind.

Wu Li was just there to supervise the work. No matter how much radiation he was exposed to, it was not as great as that of people who were in contact with fluorite all day long. Even Ling Ling's condition was not as serious as Wu Li's.

Wu Li slowly extended his hand to Shen Huaixu and said slowly, "Thank you, County Lord."

After a while, Shen Huaixu let go of her wrist.

She frowned, "Weird."

Wu Li had long since become indifferent to life and death, or rather, she had already prepared herself for death, so she was not discouraged at all. When she spoke, her hoarse voice seemed to convey the gentle words of comfort.

"You don't have to do this, County Lady. Life and death are determined by fate. If the Wu family can fall, all my wishes in this life will be fulfilled."

Shen Huaixu said casually: "Don't you have a sweetheart?"

Wu Li lowered his head, "His good fate is somewhere else, not with me."

"Don't underestimate yourself. You're doing pretty well now. You can chase me here even though you can't see. What would happen if you could see..."

"County Lady," Wu Li couldn't help but explain, "I was the first one to escape here, and that dilapidated temple was where I stayed."

Shen Huaixu was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "This is not important."

After a pause, she continued, "Your pulse seems to be consistent with that of the people in that village, but you didn't have much contact with them but the disease became faster and more urgent. If that's the case, is it possible that you ate the fluorite without knowing it?"

The only patient she had come into contact with was Ling Ling. That child's symptoms were not yet obvious. Now it seemed that if her illness continued to develop, she would end up like Wu Li.

Wu Li subconsciously denied it, "Impossible, I personally check everything I eat..."

As if she thought of something, her voice stopped abruptly, and past memories flowed through her mind like a kaleidoscope. She remembered the man smiling at her, remembering him saying he wanted to marry her in the firelight, remembering the two of them standing by the river releasing lanterns and pledging to grow old together... She remembered how he always loved to send her cakes when he was still in Xiangyi City.

She still remembers the taste of the pastry, the flower petals pickled in honey, fragrant and sweet.

No matter how sweet the cakes are, how can they compare to the sweetness of the love words from your loved one?

Under the affectionate gaze of her lover, she made an exception for the first time and tasted the pastry cautiously and shyly. At that moment, she seemed to have fallen into a bush of flowers and into a honey pot.

From then on, every time the cakes were handed to her, she would taste them carefully.

What would happen if a witch was found to have had sex with a man? She would be burned to death in public. She made an exception for that one person.

The fishy and salty taste rushed into her throat, and Wu Li suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes opened wide and she fell backwards uncontrollably.

The moment she fell to the ground, what she was thinking was - what a pity, such a nice cloak.

Dirty by her.

***

Blood splattered on Shen Huaixu's face and body. She subconsciously wanted to grab Wu Li, but she was too late.

She stepped forward and took out a pill to protect the heart meridian from the space, fed it to Wu Li, and ordered Shuangjiang who had rushed over to take the person to the carriage.

The chaos woke up many people, but as soon as Xiaoman left, no one made any more noise.

"Miss, this girl is too weak. Can she be saved?"

"Just do your best to obey fate."

After settling Wu Li, Shen Huaixu drove Shuangjiang out of the carriage, and then she took out a bottle of familiar green potion from the space.

The potion was looted from Qiao Man.

Before Qiao Man went crazy, she cherished her life very much. She was afraid that something might happen to her, so she stockpiled a lot of such potions. She only knew the use of the green one, and she hadn't figured out the others yet.

Qiao Man owes Wu Li so much, this bottle of potion can be regarded as Qiao Man's repayment to her.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaixu fed the potion to Wu Li.
