Chapter 93 The Ninth Prince Appears
Upon hearing that an IOU was required, Uncle Su flew into a rage. "What? You need an IOU to take money? Are you trying to protect your own family?"
Su Li straightened her back without backing down. "Second Uncle, I'm not trying to be defensive, it's just that this money didn't come easily. If you think that writing an IOU would hurt our relationship, then I can't give you the money."
Su Qingfeng stepped out from the crowd, his voice not loud, but with an unprecedented firmness, "I'm sorry, Second Brother, this money was earned by Li'er through hard work, and she has it tough too."
Seeing that Su Qingfeng, who was usually easy to talk to, was so resolute, and looking at his daughter who had fainted from the pain, Su Erbo hesitated for a long time before finally writing down the IOU with great reluctance.
After receiving the IOU, the group headed to town.
In the dimly lit room of the clinic, Su Zhen was pale and biting her lower lip tightly.
Her hair clung messily to her sweaty cheeks, and her eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness.
The doctor focused intently as he carefully cleaned her leg, which was injured by the animal trap. Although he tried to be as gentle as possible, every touch still made Su Zhen tremble uncontrollably.
To relieve the pain, Su Zhen secretly took a few ibuprofen tablets before coming, and the pain in her body was indeed reduced a lot.
But at this moment, the torment in her heart was like a surging tide, completely overwhelming her.
While treating the wound, the doctor frowned and said, "Young lady, although your injury didn't break the bone, it's still quite serious. You'll need to take good care of it."
After saying that, he picked up the splint and began to carefully fix her legs.
Su Zhen felt the binding sensation in her legs, staring blankly at the roof beams, her despair growing stronger.
Originally, she had meticulously planned everything.
She thought that once the rumors in the village died down, she could quietly sell some supplies, then take her parents and run away to start a new life in a different place.
In this new place, there was no gossip from the villagers, and no rules or constraints that annoyed her.
But now, all these beautiful dreams have been shattered by this accident!
I was just going to pick something up, how could I be so unlucky as to injure my leg?
Su Zhen grew angrier the more she thought about it, convinced that Su Li had deliberately set this trap to target her!
It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or muscle injury...
Su Zhen knew that for the next three months, she would be confined to her bed with limited mobility.
What worried her even more was that she had been secretly tampering with her mother's medicine to prevent her from getting pregnant.
But now, she is injured and has no way to continue the plan.
If the mother does become pregnant during this period and gives birth to a son or other children, will the parents still focus all their attention on her as before?
Su Zhen is fifteen years old this year.
In modern society, she would still be a naive and ignorant junior high school student, but in ancient times, she would already be of marriageable age.
The thought of possibly marrying a vulgar, uncouth mountain man and being trapped in this poor, remote place for the rest of her life, living a miserable existence, made her feel as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat.
"Damn Su Li!" Su Zhen roared hysterically in her heart, "You've ruined all of this plan!"
Her gaze gradually turned cold, and the image of Su Li's blindingly smiling face flashed through her mind.
"Hmph, isn't she very proud of her shop? I'd like to see if she can still be so arrogant without it!"
The matter of Su Zhen's injury has come to a temporary end, and she stays cooped up in her room all day.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine.
It had the medicinal smell of Ma's tonic and Su Zhen's wound-healing medicine, the two smells mixed together, becoming even stronger.
The atmosphere in the entire Su family was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
That afternoon, the sun shone warmly, but it did not dispel the worries in Su Li's heart.
Holding the carefully prepared medicine packet in her hands, she hurried toward the hunter's house.
Before even reaching the Lin family home, Su Li heard a series of "cracking" noises coming from inside, as if something had been overturned.
She paused, puzzled, then quickened her pace and hurried forward.
Arriving at the door, Su Li raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door.
In an instant, the air inside the room seemed to freeze, becoming eerily quiet.
Immediately afterwards, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, and then the door creaked open.
Hunter Lin appeared at the door. Upon seeing that it was Su Li, his tense face instantly relaxed, and he forced a smile: "Oh, it's Li girl! Come in, come in..."
Su Li walked into the house, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the somewhat messy items on the floor and the slightly disordered bowls and chopsticks on the table. She frowned slightly, but did not ask any further questions.
Lin's mother's hair was slightly disheveled, and she was frantically smoothing it down, her expression unnatural.
Su Li stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "Uncle Lin, I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble because of the animal trap."
Hunter Lin scratched his head, chuckled sheepishly, waved his hand, and responded with a forced laugh:
"Hey, it's nothing serious, don't worry about it. You started out to keep wild boars from coming down the mountain and ruining the crops, who could have predicted this would happen? Nobody wants to see this happen. Luckily, the doctor said that Zhen'er didn't break any bones, that's a blessing in disguise, just take good care of her."
Su Li nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Lin's mother and asked with concern, "Aunt Lin, I heard that your legs are not feeling well, so I brought some medicine with me."
As she spoke, she handed over the medicine packet in her hand.
Looking at the medicine packet, Lin's mother's expression stiffened. She forced a smile and said, "Oh, thank you so much. It's kind of you to remember me. How much did this medicine cost? I'll give it to you."
Seeing this, Su Li quickly waved her hand.
“Aunt Lin, please don’t say that. Brother Yuanzhou has taken good care of me since I was a child. Last time he even gave me a very precious pharmacopoeia. These medicinal herbs are all dug up by me in the mountains, they’re not worth much.”
As they spoke, Su Li was preoccupied with family matters and did not notice the unnatural expressions that lingered on the faces of the hunter and his wife.
She exchanged a few more pleasantries with the two men before taking her leave.
After leaving the Lin family, Su Li went straight to the foot of the mountain where Su Zhen had been injured.
The area is densely wooded, with lush foliage that blocks out most of the sky, casting dappled shadows and making it exceptionally secluded.
Normally, villagers rarely venture into this area.
But ever since she learned that Su Zhen often came, Su Li came by herself every day to check carefully, and repeatedly told her younger brother not to get close.
Su Li felt that since this was a place where Su Zhen frequently appeared, according to the arrangement of Heaven, it was very likely that the Ninth Prince would be placed here to create an opportunity for the male and female protagonists to meet and to promote the development of the subsequent plot.
Therefore, during this period, she would walk through the places Su Zhen frequented every day, never daring to slack off in the slightest.
As usual, Su Li carefully searched the mountain forest and was preparing to leave.
In the instant she turned around, she keenly caught a faint sound coming from ahead.
The sound was faint, yet it stood out starkly in the quiet mountain forest.
Su Li's heart clenched. Not daring to overlook any clue, she held her breath and carefully took a step toward the source of the sound.
From a distance, she saw what appeared to be a person lying behind a rock not far away.
