The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him
Chapter 73 Hong Jiao
These three days were simply a nightmare for Lin Xiner.
She was trapped in the room where Yunnan Sang was recuperating, unable to leave.
Yunnan Sang seemed to have been drugged by some strange medicine. He was incredibly energetic and could only take a few bites of food during his meals.
Lin Xiner repeatedly felt overwhelmed by his passion and nearly considered finding a few women to share his burdens. However, she worried about leaking the news of Yunnan Sang's recuperation. In desperation, she dragged her personal maid into the "battle." Otherwise, she seriously suspected she might die from exhaustion.
When Hong Jiao helped Lin Xiner out of the room, her face was full of numbness and despair.
Although she was a slave, she never thought of herself as someone who could be bought, sold, or arranged at will by her master.
She has always been loyal to Lin Xiner and originally hoped to secure a bright future for herself through this loyalty.
Hong Jiao had no ambition to become a concubine of a wealthy family. She had saved a lot of money over the years and had planned to wait until Lin Xiner was stable, then train a few confidants for her and discuss with her about redeeming her.
However, the current situation makes her feel that her future is bleak.
She could never have imagined that Lin Xiner would be so cruel and ruthless, completely disregarding her feelings and ruining her prospects and future so easily.
When Yunnan Sang pushed her to the ground, Hong Jiao felt a sense of despair, but she did not resist too much, as if she had already accepted her fate.
She knew Lin Xiner's character well, and knew what this incident meant. She might never recover. Returning home, she feared only poison and silencing would await her.
Thinking of this, Hong Jiao lowered her head, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Her body was in unbearable pain, and her heart was in even greater pain.
Lin Xin'er was equally exhausted at this moment. She had no time to care about Hong Jiao's life or death, because she herself was also at the end of her strength. To her, the maid was just property, and she could do with it as she pleased.
At this moment, she felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart, and every step was extremely difficult. Not only that, her skin was also covered with scars, with almost no intact part.
She had always wanted to consummate her marriage with Yunnan Sang, but not in this way. Yunnan Sang had no feelings or sympathy for her, and was just venting his anger.
Lin Xin'er thought of Lu Songwen again. Lu Songwen always treated Lin Xin'er with the utmost respect, no matter what he did. That was why their married life felt so peaceful and uneventful to Lin Xin'er. Even the most ordinary rituals were handled with unnatural gentleness, and he was incredibly attentive to Lin Xin'er's feelings. If Lin Xin'er even frowned, he would do his best to adjust. Even after their marriage, Lu Songwen often went to bed after taking a cold shower.
Lin Xiner stood at the gate of the villa, looking at the long, narrow alley before her. She couldn't help but gasp at the thought of how far she still had to walk to reach the carriage. If it were Lu Songwen, he would definitely carry her there himself, or even carry her on his back. Now, that was no longer possible.
Yunshan glanced at Lin Xiner from a distance, snorted coldly, and went back to report. His eyes were almost blind. Before poisoning Yunnan Sang again, he poisoned his own eyes first. The thought of it made him feel sick.
The effects of the Yunnan Sang medicine gradually wore off, and he lay sprawled on the bed like a lifeless dead dog, motionless. Well, he felt weak and powerless, as if his body had been drained of all its energy.
It’s hard to imagine what his expression will be like when he wakes up and realizes that he is unable to move again.
Lin Xiner returned to the mansion with difficulty. Hong Jiao still arranged for people to boil water and bathe her as usual, without showing any dissatisfaction.
It wasn't until she was soaking in the warm water that Lin Xin'er remembered to ask Hong Jiao: "Hong Jiao, do you blame me?"
Hong Jiao shook her head without hesitation and replied, "My life belongs to the master. Whatever the master asks me to do is my duty. I will go get a contraceptive pill later. No, it would be better to get a sterilizing pill. I only hope the master can pretend that what happened last night never happened. Hong Jiao only wants to serve the master and does not want to have anything to do with the Second Young Master."
Lin Xiner stared at Hong Jiao with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to find a trace of dissatisfaction or resentment on her face, but found nothing.
"Okay, you are tired too. Go down and rest first, and let Biyun come in to serve you." Lin Xiner said in a flat tone.
Hong Jiao bowed and left. After calling Biyun in, she went straight out of the house and went to the pharmacy. However, she didn't realize that as soon as she left the house, a little tail was following her.
When Biyun entered the bathroom, she saw the bruises on Lin Xiner's body and jumped up in fright: "Miss, what's going on?"
Lin Xin'er was stunned for a moment. What had Hong Jiao called her just now? Master? Hong Jiao had never addressed her like that before. Was this genuine respect or resentment? Fortunately, she had been more cautious and had already sent someone to follow Hong Jiao quietly.
"It's okay, it's just that your brother-in-law was too enthusiastic and a little too much." Lin Xiner pretended to be happy, but her heart was full of bitterness and sorrow.
Biyun was still relatively innocent after all. Upon hearing the news, she immediately felt happy for Lin Xiner: "That's great! Miss has finally consummated her marriage with her husband! I hope Miss can get pregnant with the young master soon. That would be wonderful. I'll go get some ointment and apply it to Miss."
Young Master... Lin Xiner couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in her heart. If she started taking pregnancy medicine now, would it be too late?
Biyun was extremely fast and soon came in with three or four kinds of blood-dispersing ointments.
She gently helped Lin Xiner out of the bathtub, carefully wiped the water droplets on her body with a soft towel, and then carefully applied the ointment on Lin Xiner's wounds.
As she applied the cream, Biyun's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked up, "How could my son-in-law be so excessive! My lady's skin is so delicate to begin with, and now it looks so scary. It must be very painful, right?"
Lin Xiner endured the pain, a calm smile on her face, and gently shook her head to comfort him, "I'm fine, don't worry."
However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Xiner's mind - Hong Jiao.
In the past, Hong Jiao had always been the most thoughtful and considerate, but today she had even neglected the ointment. Could it be that she truly harbored resentment towards her? Lin Xiner couldn't help but frown, feeling a tinge of confusion and disappointment.
Meanwhile, inside the pharmacy, the shopkeeper was seriously asking Hong Jiao if she was sure she wanted to buy the strongest kind of infertility medicine. He wanted to persuade her, but seeing Hong Jiao's maid's attire, he knew she must be from a wealthy family. He figured the mistress of the household was intolerant, which was why she was buying this medicine.
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, packed the medicine, and handed it to Hong Jiao. Hong Jiao took the medicine expressionlessly and walked out of the shop. Her steps were unsteady, as if she was treading on cotton. Her body began to feel hot, and her head became dizzy.
After she left the pharmacy, another of Lin Xiner's maids, Nanzhu, entered and inquired about the medicine Hongjiao had just ordered. The shopkeeper didn't want to elaborate, but Nanzhu immediately slipped a silver ingot into his pocket. The shopkeeper then sighed and said, "That maid, from some unknown mansion, ordered the most potent infertility drug, the kind used in brothels and other brothels." He shook his head and left the counter.
Nanzhu immediately left the pharmacy and went back home to report by another route.
Hong Jiao was stumbling along the road when she suddenly felt dizzy and passed out. Jian Qiu, who had been following her not far away, rushed forward to save her.
After Lin Qiqi learned about this, she was filled with self-blame and guilt. She had never thought that the conflict between her and Lin Xiner would implicate the innocent Hong Jiao and cause her to suffer such misfortune.
Hong Jiao is not a bad person. Most of the time she just follows orders. Even if she is the one who contacts the killer organization, she is just following orders.
She should have warned Yunshan earlier to prevent this from happening. She had assumed that Lin Xiner, being so jealous, wouldn't let her maid get close to Yun Nansang. But she hadn't expected that Yunshan, that scoundrel, to add a love potion to the mix, causing Lin Xiner to lose control and harm those close to her.
When she knew that Hongjiao was going to the pharmacy, she immediately sent a message to Jianqiu, asking her to follow from a distance. She wanted to wait for the right opportunity to replace the contraceptive medicine. Hongjiao was so young, and losing her virginity was already pitiful enough. There was no need to ruin her for the rest of her life.
Lin Qiqi knew how harsh the world was to women. Hong Jiao probably found it difficult to accept what was happening to her. She really needed psychological intervention.
Lin Qiqi has never been a saint, but Hong Jiao's experience was indeed indirectly caused by her, and she wanted to compensate this poor girl.
When Hong Jiao woke up again, she was in the backyard of a pharmacy.
The sun gradually set and the light gradually dimmed. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who walked in was actually the girl Jianqiu who was beside Lin Qiqi.
Seeing Hongjiao wake up, Jianqiu hurried to her bedside and said anxiously, "You're finally awake! Don't you know you have a fever? Why did you run out?" As she spoke, she reached out and touched Hongjiao's forehead. To her surprise, she found that her fever had indeed subsided. Jianqiu secretly sighed in her heart, the little white pill given by the master was indeed magical.
Hong Jiao wanted to speak, but her throat was so dry and painful that it was difficult for her to speak. Jian Qiu saw this and immediately handed her a cup of warm water, watching her drink it with concern.
After drinking a cup of warm water, Hong Jiao felt her throat feel much better. She looked at Jian Qiu with gratitude and asked softly, "Was it Sister Jian Qiu who saved me?"
Jianqiu didn't deny it. She explained, "My master noticed something wasn't right with you, so he sent me to follow you. That's how I was able to save you in time." Then, Jianqiu picked up the packet of medicine that had fallen beside Hongjiao, examined it carefully, and said, "This should be a sterilizing drug, right?"
Hong Jiao's eyes lost their luster and she nodded slowly.
Seeing her like this, Jianqiu sighed, gently grasped her hand, and said, "Hongjiao, once you drink this medicine, nothing can be undone. You shouldn't let someone else's mistakes ruin your life. You're only sixteen, and you still have decades to live. If you regret it one day, it will be too late."
"I know you'll think I'm being unreasonable, Hongjiao. There are many women in this world who are forced to choose their own fates, even trapped in difficult situations. However, many of them have escaped their fates and regained their glory. You may not believe me, but I still want to advise you not to act impulsively. Just give yourself a chance."
Jianqiu took out an emergency contraceptive pill given by Lin Qiqi. It was said that it would be effective if taken within three days. It was magical. She was already used to Lin Qiqi taking out all kinds of strange things, but she was still a little shocked.
"This pill is an anti-fertility pill. It won't cause much harm to your body, but it will definitely prevent you from getting pregnant. Take it first. As for the infertility pill, I'll replace it with a tonic that smells and tastes similar. Hong Jiao, I hope you give yourself a chance and wait a little longer. Maybe a miracle will happen and lead you out of this muddy situation."
Hong Jiao looked at Jian Qiu's face. He was serious, without any disdain or contempt. Instead, it was as if he was truly thinking about her. Hong Jiao's eyes instantly turned red. The pain, despair, and grievance that she had suppressed since the incident suddenly surged up, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jianqiu patted her back gently, as if comforting a child. Jianqiu didn't tell Hongjiao that Lin Qiqi had taken in many unfortunate women, who had already emerged from their cocoons and become butterflies, shining in various positions in the Chamber of Commerce. It was just that Lin Qiqi didn't remember them now.
"Cry. Cry it all out. After you're done crying, look forward and don't look back." Jianqiu murmured.
Hong Jiao had cried enough, then picked up the emergency contraceptive pill and swallowed it with water without hesitation. She was a resilient person, and Jian Qiu's words had given her a little hope.
Jianqiu handed her another dose of medicine and said, "Go back quickly. You've been unconscious for an hour and a half. Your master must be getting suspicious."
Lin Xiner was indeed suspicious and sent people to search for Hong Jiao. Later, she learned that Hong Jiao had fainted from a high fever and was rescued by a pharmacy. She was relieved. However, she still made Nanzhu watch her boil the medicine and take it before she gave up.
The person who was following Xu Yian also returned with a reply. Lu Tan did not disappoint Lin Xiner and successfully helped Xu Yian take action. Although Xu Yian's life was not in danger, he was frightened by the fall into the water and has been bedridden. According to the investigators, he will be bedridden for at least three months.
Lin Xiner stroked the screen that was mostly embroidered, and felt very happy. Everything was under her control. Yunnan Sang could not be relied on for the time being, but she would definitely fight for a good future for herself.
However, they miscalculated the division of the family. Although Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Qiqi were expelled from the family tree, it did not go according to their ideas. But it didn't matter. It was only a matter of time before Lin Xiuyuan fell from power. The right thing to do was to sever ties with him as soon as possible.
As for Hong Jiao, after all, she's used to it. After further observation, finding a replacement for her is relatively difficult, though she's easy. Biyun appears loyal, but she's never been involved in those dirty jobs. Lin Xiner thought to herself, "I still don't have enough knives in my hand."
