Chapter 119 - 119 But Money Is Not Annoying!
119 But Money Is Not Annoying!
The scream came from the camp!
Moreover, the scream probably came from a woman!
Lin Suisui’s heart tightened. She quickly sat up and rushed towards the window to lift the curtain to look out, but she couldn’t see anything. The uneasiness in her heart intensified. She turned her head and listened for a long time. When she didn’t hear anything else, she retracted her head in frustration.
It probably wasn’t the woman who just gave birth.
At this moment, Lin Suisui could only comfort herself this way.
After all, in her current condition, she couldn’t scream so loudly!
Seeing that Lin Suisui was so worried, Lu Ze wanted to go out and investigate the situation, but Lin Suisui reached out and grabbed him. “Don’t go! I’m fine. The situation over there is unclear. It’s better for us to just observe.
Also, I don’t think this has anything to do with the woman who gave birth. You know her current condition. She can’t scream so loudly.”
Lin Suisui was a little worried about the woman, but Lu Ze’s safety was clearly more important!
“I’ll go drive the ox cart and inform Wu Liu and the others to prepare.” Lu Ze clearly wanted to go further. Although the scream was made by a woman, what if it was a trap…
Who knew when those northern barbarians would suddenly appear?!
It was better to be prepared to evacuate at any time!
Lin Suisui nodded and began to get dressed and pack just in case.
However, not long after Lu Ze left, he quickly returned to the carriage. The wariness on his face disappeared. Seeing Lin Suisui looking at him nervously, he quickly explained softly, “It’s fine. The one who just came was Qian He.”
Lu Ze got into the carriage and explained what had just happened to Lin Suisui.
It concerned Gao Xuwei.
As a pervert, Gao Xuwei had always been womanizing in the north all these years. Now that he was here, a day or two without sex was already his limit. Today, he had designs on the little girl who went over to deliver dinner to him.
However, that little girl had a feisty personality.
She had been serving the woman all the way and had also seen how cruel and heartless Gao Xuwei was to her. Therefore, how could she let Gao Xuwei make a move on her?!
Naturally, she struggled.
Although Gao Xuwei was a coward in other aspects, the girl was still young. If they really fought, how could she be a match for a man?!
The little girl was forced into a desperate situation and struggled with all her might. In for a penny, in for a pound.
“It’s broken?! Ouch!” Lin Suisui widened her eyes and looked at Lu Ze expectantly. In return, Lu Ze smacked her mercilessly. Lin Suisui raised her hand to hold her head and wailed while looking at Lu Ze unhappily.
“No,” Lu Ze said angrily and he felt vexed. What was this little girl thinking about?!
“…Oh.” What a pity!
Lin Suisui couldn’t help but complain inwardly, but soon, she thought of something and looked up at Lu Ze in horror. “I don’t want to treat him!”
“I’ve already told Qian He. Moreover, from the looks of it, he’s just here to go through the motions.” Lu Ze nodded to reassure her before explaining, “However, with Gao Xuwei’s personality, he won’t give up so easily. In short, we have to be careful.”
Lin Suisui agreed with Lu Ze’s opinion.
After a peaceful night, before Lin Suisui and Lu Ze left the next morning, Qian He came looking for them again. This time, not only was Qian He here, but Gao Xuwei’s other capable servant, Ming Yue, was also there.
Seeing Lin Suisui, he followed Qian He’s example and bowed politely. Then, he said, “Our general is indeed seriously injured. If you can revive someone as seriously injured as Miss Yun, then our general’s minor injuries will definitely be a piece of cake.”
After saying this, Ming Yue turned around and gave the two followers behind him a look. The two of them quickly raised their hands and removed the red cloth covering the plates, revealing two plates of silver ingots that were neatly stacked inside.
“Our general said that this is just a gift. If you can treat our general’s injuries, we will give you an additional reward.”
Lin Suisui glanced at the silver ingots. She had to admit that she was really tempted.
She hated Gao Xuwei, but she didn’t hate money!
It seemed unreasonable to push away the money that was delivered to her.
Lin Suisui pondered for a moment and finally had an idea. She looked at the expectant Ming Yue and asked tentatively, “As long as I can treat your general, it doesn’t matter what method I use, right?!”
“Yes.” Ming Yue nodded very honestly. That was what their general had instructed when he had asked him to come over, so there should be no problem with him answering truthfully now.
Lin Suisui nodded and reached out to pull Lu Ze to the side. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and whispered something in his ear. Lu Ze’s face finally lit up. Although it was only for a moment, he no longer looked as scary as before.
“Then let’s go!” After instructing Lu Ze, Lin Suisui turned around and nodded at Ming Yue and Qian He. She asked Lu Ze to put the two plates of silver ingots in the ox cart. Then, she followed the two of them to the tent to check Gao Xuwei’s injuries.
Ming Yue was happy, but Qian He was worried. He knew very well what Mr. Pei was thinking. Mr. Pei didn’t want General Gao to continue his glory. He clearly wanted to punish him!
But how should he convey this to Madam Liu in front of Ming Yue?!
If he really said it out loud, wouldn’t things become chaotic?!
“Madam Liu, the general’s tent is over there.” Seeing that Lin Suisui was about to walk straight to the tent where the mother and daughter were staying, Ming Yue hurriedly followed her as he reminded her.
Treatment of their general’s injuries couldn’t be delayed. If they were late, he would get punished!
“I know! I can’t treat your general’s injuries, but my husband should have a solution. He can go with you.” Lin Suisui smiled at Ming Yue and answered matter-of-factly.
