Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 39: A Prophecy Comes True

Bai Junzhe held Lou Xinyue in his arms and fled back to Saozhuo Lane in North City like a pair of stray dogs.

As soon as he entered the rented courtyard, Bai Junzhe seemed to have used up his last bit of strength. He spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and threw Lou Xinyue in his arms to the ground. Lou Xinyue screamed, startling the mother and daughter who were daydreaming in the room.

After Bai Junzhe and Lou Xinyue left, they sent Mrs. Li to pack up all their belongings, hoping that they could leave quickly when the carriage from Duke Dingguo's Mansion came to pick them up.

"Mom, if that little bitch Qiao Lili comes, remember to make her kneel down and apologize to you." Bai Rouer said bitterly while wiping the embroidered shoes on her feet. These were a pair of light purple satin embroidered shoes, and the uppers were covered with mud from stepping on them in this dirty Broom Lane, dyeing the embroidered bunch of wisteria flowers black.

"Don't argue about who's better now. She'll kneel down sometime in the future." Mrs. Bai squinted her eyes through the open door and stared at the gate. "When they get married, you can beat her or scold her, and make her kneel down all night."

"Mom, are you serious? I want that little bitch Qiao Lili to kneel at the head of my bed all night and serve me when I get up at night." Bai Rouer's eyes revealed a vicious look, as if the person she hated was kneeling in front of her.

"It's not that difficult. Once they get married and she moves into our Bai Mansion, she will be at our mercy. She will have to do whatever we ask her to do."

"Mother, then bring all her dowry here and let her die suddenly, okay?" Bai Rou'er took Bai's hand and said, "Bring all Qiao Lili's dowry here as my dowry, and I can choose any young man in the capital."

Bai thought of what Bai Junzhe said, Nishang Pavilion and Zhenbaozhai were both dowry shops of Qiao Lili's mother, so Qiao Lili would definitely bring them to their Bai family when she got married. Her mother had a real dowry of ten miles of red when she married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, unlike her ten dowries of useless things. How was she inferior to Wen Xi?

Even if Wen Xi's dowry is divided into three parts, Qiao Lili's will not be less, not to mention that Wen Xi is the best at making money. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, so Qiao Lili will not be left out in terms of dowry.

After getting married, it would be best for Qiao Lili to be sensible and hand over all her dowry, so that she can have a meal in the servants' kitchen. If she doesn't, then she can just die suddenly. Divorcing her is too troublesome, so it would be more convenient to poison her overnight.

It’s just that Zhe Ge’er seems to have other plans for her. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.

"Okay, mother will definitely help you vent your anger today, but before Qiao Lili marries into the Bai family, don't act rashly or you might alert the enemy." Bai warned her daughter.

"I know. Just coax her with nice words, just like before."

The mother and daughter were plotting against Qiao Lili in the house when they heard the sound of something heavy falling in the yard, followed by Lou Xinyue's scream.

The mother and daughter ran out of the house and saw Bai Junzhe and Lou Xinyue lying on the ground, one with blood on his face and the other with blood on his body. Lou Xinyue was still crying, but Bai Junzhe was motionless.

Half an hour later, the doctor put away the pulse pillow and wrote out a prescription.

"Doctor, how is my son's injury?"

"Take the medicine on time, go for follow-up visits, and rest for three or four months, and you will be fine. It's just..." The doctor couldn't continue at this point.

Bai closed her eyes and said with a determined heart, "Doctor, please tell us the truth, so we can think of a solution."

"Your son may not have any children in this life."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Bai burst into tears. She held the doctor's hand tightly and refused to let go: "There must be a way. You must have a way, right?"

The doctor wanted to pull his hand back, but Bai was holding it too tightly: "Madam, please respect yourself and let go." Bai let go of his hand dejectedly and fell into the chair, as if all her energy was drained away in an instant.

The doctor felt a little sympathetic and said, "My medical skills are limited. Why don't you go to Huichun Hall and ask Doctor Zhou to take a look at your son? Maybe he can cure him. Who knows."

Of course Bai knew Doctor Zhou from Huichuntang. She had been receiving treatment from him for the past four years. Ever since she was asked to pay a bill of 12,000 taels of silver, she hated Huichuntang to death, so she did not go to Huichuntang to invite him this time.

For the sake of her son, she had to go and ask for a favor. Bai Junzhe didn't find out that Huichuntang was also Qiao Lili's shop, because Huichuntang had not been open for long, and her mother had passed away at that time. If she knew that it was opened by Qiao Lili herself, Bai would probably never go there.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lou Xinyue quickly called the doctor: "Doctor, can you take a look at my injuries?"

The doctor took a quick look and said, "Miss, these are just skin injuries. When you go to the pharmacy to get medicine later, just buy a box of ointment for external injuries."

"Will it leave a scar?" Lou Xinyue knew that the wound on one side of her face was deeper.

"Whether or not scars will be left is beyond the scope of my medical skills. Once the scabs fall off, you can go to Huichun Hall and buy their special scar removal cream. It's just a little expensive."

It was Huichuntang again. Doctor Zhou from Huichuntang was also at the gate of Bai's house to collect debts. He gave his mother, who was pretending to be unconscious, a needle to wake her up. Bai Rouer saw it all. Everything in front of her at this moment was completely different from what she had just discussed with her mother. She felt that those ideas might never be realized.

She couldn't step on that bitch Qiao Lili and couldn't let her die, so how could she be willing to do that!

She suddenly broke down: "Huichuntang, Huichuntang, you keep talking about Huichuntang, what's the point of practicing medicine, you old dog? Just go home and wait to die."

The doctor had been practicing medicine for so many years and had never met such a person. He was speechless for a moment, "You, you are a woman, how can you speak so badly?"

Bai Rouer went completely crazy. She pushed the doctor hard, then grabbed his medicine box and threw it at him. Fortunately, she didn't have much strength and the doctor was nimble enough to dodge sideways. Bai Rouer saw that she didn't hit the doctor, and she was so angry that she grabbed anything she could reach and threw it at the doctor.

The doctor dodged in a panic, not even bothering to pick up the medicine box, and ran out of the Bai family in a panic.

Bai sat stupidly on the chair, ignoring everything Bai Rouer did.

After an incense stick of time, four or five young men came to the clinic to take the doctor's hospital box and consultation fees, and asked them to compensate for the broken items in the medicine box.

Within a short while, all the clinics in the North City area knew about the incident in which the Bai family from Saozhu Lane beat up the doctor for no reason. From then on, no doctor was willing to go to the Bai family for treatment.

Bai Junzhe's injuries were serious, but to say they were not serious would be because Shang Zhen had shown mercy. As the deputy general of Marshal Dingguo Duke Qiao Xuan, Shang Zhen was truly a man of unrivalled courage. Not only was he a martial arts expert, he also had extraordinary arm strength. He could never miss a shot with a bow, and hitting Bai Junzhe's three stones was as easy as using a slingshot.

In fact, he only needed a stone to shoot at the back of his head, which would immediately burst Bai Junzhe's brain, but that would cause trouble for Duke Dingguo's Mansion. There was no need to do that for such a rotten man. It was impossible to spare him. He bullied their marshal's daughter, so let him suffer.

A stone shot off half of his earlobe. In the previous life, they cut off one of her ears, and now they are paying the interest.

The other two bullets hit the left and right sides of the lower back. The stones penetrated the clothes and embedded into the flesh, breaking Bai Junzhe's two kidneys through the bones. It was not fatal, but he became a frail person after he recovered. The doctor's euphemism for saying that he would have no children was just a euphemism.

From then on, he was only slightly better than a eunuch. The place was still there, but its function was only convenient.

When Qiao Lili talked to Shang Zhen, she only said that she wanted Bai Junzhe to suffer an injury that would affect his health in the future. She didn't expect Shang Zhen to do it this way. This is really fate. In his previous life, he told Qiao Lili that he was injured on the battlefield and could not have sex with her. In this life, his wish came true. He was injured and could never have sex with her again.

A prophecy.
