"What did you say? I said, you are just a lowly slave!" Matthew looked at Yingxiang with contempt.

Such heartbreaking words came from the mouth of her beloved, and Yingxiang felt an unbearable grief in her heart.

At the same time, Yingxiang recalled that Xiao Huan was pregnant with Matthew's child. The grief and hatred were like a raging fire and a deep sea that continued to drown her sanity until it disappeared completely.

"Matthew! Didn't you say that I was the person you loved the most? Not only did you give Xiao Huan a child, but now you actually look down on my identity?" Yingxiang was grief-stricken, and she couldn't suppress her anger and roared at Matthew.

Ma Xiuzhi looked at the grief and anger on Yingxiang's face, a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth, and said to Yingxiang coldly: "If I didn't say that, would you work for me wholeheartedly?"

Yingxiang's face became paler and paler, and her eyes were filled with discomfort and unbelievable pain.

"Don't think I don't know that you are just using me to escape from slavery. I gave you this opportunity because I saw how sincere you were. So, how dare you question me now? Yingxiang, if you want to be obedient, don't touch my bottom line, otherwise you will be in trouble." Matthew sneered and approached her with contempt and arrogance in his eyes.

The tenderness that once existed in his eyes was long gone, as if his previous preference and pampering for her was just a dream.

At that moment, Yingxiang felt as if she had seen the reality clearly from a beautiful dream. The cruelty of waking up was like a cold knife cutting her heart.

She looked at the man in front of her with a face full of contempt and coldness, and had to admit one fact: he no longer loved her.

But as if she had to get the answer from him, Yingxiang looked at Ma Xiuzhi with tears in her eyes, humbly and sadly: "Have you ever loved me?"

Ma Xiuzhi found Yingxiang's words ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Haha. Love? What is love?"

Yingxiang looked at Matthew's handsome face with a funny expression. He looked at her with a look that said "Are you stupid?" At that moment, Yingxiang had already received an extremely painful answer in her heart without saying anything more.

Hatred followed. Yingxiang suddenly smiled through her tears, looking at Matthew and laughing bitterly: "Haha, so that's how it is."

Ma Xiuzhi stopped smiling and looked at Yingxiang with contempt.

Yingxiang suddenly shouted at Ma Xiuzhi without hesitation, "Alright! In that case, I'll tell Xiao Huan everything you've done! I want to see if Xiao Huan will still marry you after knowing all this? And even bear your child!"

After saying this, Yingxiang started crying and laughing crazily, her face full of grief, anger, and madness.

Ma Xiuzhi's expression darkened gradually, and then his eyes turned cold and cruel as he stared at Yingxiang: "Do you think you will have a chance to walk out of this room?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yingxiang was immediately frightened. Looking at Matthew's deep, terrifying eyes filled with murderous intent, she stepped back in fear.

A huge sense of danger surged in her heart, and Yingxiang didn't bother to turn around and run towards the door, but before she reached the door, Matthew grabbed her arm fiercely.

"Want to run? Haha. Since you know all my secrets, then go to hell!" Matthew gritted his teeth viciously, with endless coldness in his eyes.

Yingxiang's mouth was covered and she could not make any sound. She could only look at Matthew's hideous face and feel scared. She struggled in vain and shed tears of fear.

Until she felt a dagger piercing her abdomen, and a heart-wrenching pain instantly spread throughout her body. After that, her body was numbed by the pain and she slowly lost consciousness.

In her last sight, she only saw the man who had been gentle to her in the past, but now only had a cruel and terrifying expression on his face.

It was very cold at night, as if winter was quietly approaching.

The winter in Central Continent is not as cold as in Northern Continent and Eastern Continent where it snows, but it still has that damp chill.

There were no stars visible in the pitch-black night sky, probably because their light was obscured by the dark clouds.

The sound of dripping rain came to her ears, and Rong Su was walking on the road to the mountain path with an oil-paper umbrella.

Shen Peiqing followed behind him with a stern face. He was a little unhappy and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you rest at night and have to come here?"

Shen Peiqing couldn't understand what was going on. He was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard Rong Su knocking on the door. He thought she had something important to tell him, but he didn't expect this crazy girl to actually say she wanted to go to a mass grave.

It was raining and windy outside, the weather was extremely bad. Shen Peiqing had a hundred complaints in his heart, but Rong Su had already warned him before, and he didn't want to argue with this crazy girl again, so he could only accept his fate and follow.

Rong Su didn't know what Shen Peiqing was thinking. She just wanted to go to the mass grave as soon as possible to find the person, otherwise the person would be completely gone.

Ningcheng’s mass grave is located on a small hill about ten miles away from the western suburbs.

It was dark at night and there was no moonlight to illuminate the way. She could only use the light of the lantern in her hand to roughly understand the mountain road ahead.

Seeing that Rong Su had no intention of answering him, Shen Peiqing was too lazy to ask any more questions. This crazy girl had never revealed her affairs to him, and she always did things without asking for permission. A feeling of helplessness made him feel a little melancholy.

The two of them walked into the mountain path one after the other. Soon, Rong Su raised a lantern. The dim light from the lantern swept into the distance, where they could see those randomly piled graves and a slightly pungent smell of decay coming directly towards them.

She couldn't help but frown, then turned and looked at Shen Peiqing behind her, and saw that he also had a frown on his face, with a cold and disgusted expression.

Seeing this, Rong Su said to him without any psychological burden or as a matter of course: "Go inside and find Yingxiang."

Shen Peiqing was suddenly shocked and looked at Rong Su with disbelief. He even felt a mixture of shock and anger. "What? You want me to go to the graveyard to find Yingxiang? Are you crazy?"

Rong Su looked calm and nodded seriously, "That's right. Yingxiang is probably only breathing her last breath now. If you don't dig her out, she will be completely beyond saving."

Shen Peiqing was silent for a moment, and still couldn't believe it. He looked at Rong Su seriously and puzzledly: "Give me an explanation. Even if you want to order me around, you have to give me an explanation."

He didn't care at all about saving Yingxiang or not. He was just curious why Rong Su had been paying attention to Xiao Huan's affairs. Was it really because he wanted to promote his medical skills through her?

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed incredible, and there were some secrets hidden in it.

After hearing Shen Peiqing's question, Rong Su curled her lips and felt a little unhappy with this brat. Just do your job, why talk so much nonsense?

"I paid the servant guarding the back door of the Xiao residence. He just came to tell me that he saw someone carrying Yingxiang, who seemed unconscious, out of the back door. It seemed that they were heading towards the mass grave in the west."

She didn't want to waste time, but she also didn't want to do it herself, so she could only quickly explain it to Shen Peiqing so that he could do it.

"Okay, you've listened to the explanation, go find the person for me." Rong Su urged.

Shen Peiqing noticed that Rong Su seemed to be showing signs of life, then he turned his eyes to the dark place with a rotten smell, his brows tightly furrowed.

But in the end he exhaled deeply, Shen Peiqing tightened his jaw, pursed his lips, and was about to leave when a handkerchief was handed to him. He was slightly stunned and looked over, only to see Rong Su with a calm expression.

"Wear it, otherwise the person will be suffocated to death before you find him."

Shen Peiqing stared at the white handkerchief without any pattern embroidered on it. His eyes moved slightly, then he reached out to take it and put it on his face. He smelled a faint fragrance between his nostrils. He lowered his eyes slightly, revealing a bit of depth.

Under the baptism of the night rain, Shen Peiqing walked to the mass grave and began to look for people.

I don’t know how long it took, until the night rain was about to subside, Shen Peiqing finally found Yingxiang from a place.

When Rong Su saw this, she walked over quickly, not caring about the rotten smell that filled her nose. She reached out to feel Yingxiang's pulse. When she found that she was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into one of Yingxiang's acupuncture points to keep her vitals alive.

Then, she looked at Shen Peiqing and said seriously, "Hurry, I'll go back. Yingxiang can't hold on for even a stick of incense."

Upon hearing this, Shen Peiqing nodded and supported Yingxiang and Rongsu as they walked towards the city.

Finally, they braved the rain and brought the person back to the inn. As soon as they returned to the inn, Rong Su asked Shen Peiqing to send the person to her room. At this moment, Yingxiang was covered in dirt and smelled foul.

But none of this matters. Rong Su only needs to rescue the person from the hands of the King of Hell.

"Shen Peiqing, please ask the waiter to boil some hot water for me."

Shen Peiqing saw the solemn expression on Rong Su's face and understood the importance of the matter. He didn't ask any more questions and walked out quickly.

Rong Suzheng lowered his head and began to insert silver needles into several acupuncture points of Yingxiang.

Yingxiang's abdomen was covered in blood, and it was obvious that the fatal injury was in the abdomen.

She reached out and used a knife to cut open the clothes on her abdomen. Then she checked the wound and could see blood, flesh and internal organs, which showed that she had been stabbed very deeply.

Seeing this, she turned around and went to find needle, thread and white cloth.

Then he carefully treated Yingxiang's wound, first using a silver needle to stop the bleeding, then using the liquor prepared early in the morning to disinfect the needle and thread, and finally sutured her wound.

In fact, she was still not very proficient in suturing techniques. She had only done it once when she helped Shen Peiqing treat the wound.

I didn't practice it again afterwards. It seems that I still need to ask Gu Yun for advice on the technique of suturing wounds.

Last time, she was injured in the chest and needed stitches, and it seemed that Gu Yuer helped her with it under the guidance of Gu Yun.

She later examined the wound carefully and found that it was sutured so well that the scar was almost invisible.

It can be seen that Gu Yun’s suturing skills must be very good.

While she was thinking about it, she had already sutured Yingxiang's wound.

Then apply the wound medicine on it, bandage it with white cloth and you're done.

At this time, Rong Su reached out her hand to take Yingxiang's pulse again. Her pulse seemed to have improved a little, and she couldn't help but smile.

She continued to hold the silver needle, placed her fingers on several acupuncture points on Yingxiang's body, touched them, and inserted them after finding the right points.

Until her forehead was covered with sweat and her palms were sweating, she watched Yingxiang's pale face gradually warm up.

Only then did he put down the silver needle in his hand, and finally stood up, raising his hand to gently wipe the sweat from his forehead and chin.

After waiting for a while, Rong Su bent down again, grabbed Yingxiang's wrist, frowned and took her pulse. When he felt that her heartbeat was returning to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, all the silver needles on Yingxiang's body were removed. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Girl, I heard you needed hot water, didn't I? The hot water is already boiled."

Hearing the waiter's voice, Rong Su raised her head and said to the door, "Yes. Please put the hot water at the door. I'll get it myself later."

The waiter responded, "Okay!"

After the waiter left, Rong Su went over to open the door and brought in the hot water.

She poured some water into a short wooden basin and washed her hands. Only then did she feel like taking a closer look at Yingxiang's condition.

It was in a terrible state, with the dress covered in dirt and blood, and emitting a horrible stench of decay.

Rong Su frowned. How did she resist vomiting just now?

She couldn't answer this question, and finally she couldn't bear it any longer, so she went out and found the shop owner's wife, gave her several taels of silver, and asked her to help her clean up Yingxiang and her dirty bed.

Rong Su chose to pay for a guest room and asked the waiter for hot water. She also dealt with the stench on her body and took a shower.

She didn't stop until she could no longer smell the stench.

When she changed her clothes and walked out of the guest room, she saw Shen Peiqing, who seemed to have washed himself. He had changed into a dark gray robe, his profile was cold, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers away.

He seemed to hear the sound of her opening the door, so he turned around, looked at her, and then asked calmly, "Why did you save Yingxiang?"

Not expecting that he would care about this issue, Rong Su raised her eyebrows. Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, she was in a good mood. She didn't mean to ignore Shen Peiqing at this time.

She walked over, keeping a distance of one meter from Shen Peiqing, then looked towards the lobby of the inn and replied softly: "To deal with Ma Xiuzhi, we must use Yingxiang."

When Shen Peiqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment, as if he understood something.

Rong Su turned her head and looked at Shen Peiqing, giving him a smile that seemed genuine but actually a little hidden.

"As for tonight, thank you. Have a good rest."

After saying that, Rong Su didn't give Shen Peiqing a chance to speak and turned back to her room.

Shen Peiqing was still standing there, his face full of surprise. He looked at Rong Su's door with a somewhat weird look, feeling confused and a little weird in his heart.

She actually thanked herself?

This weird feeling made him feel creepy and unbelievable.

Two days later, Yingxiang woke up.

The first thing Yingxiang did when she woke up was to commit suicide again.

After Rong Su found out, he sneered and then slapped Yingxiang hard.

"I worked so hard to wake you up, and you dare to seek death? You can't die without my permission. If you have to die, you must avenge your death first!"

Yingxiang's eyes were empty and numb. After hearing the word "revenge", she slowly regained some clarity, and then was filled with hatred.

"Revenge. Yes! I want revenge! Why? Matthew betrayed me? He's such a heartless man!"
