Chapter 455: Enjoy It Thoroughly

~4 min read 740 words

But how could Liu Chuxue let them escape unscathed? The moment the two finished speaking, their eyes went black and they both fainted.

Liu Chuxue was too lazy to do anything else; she simply pried open their mouths, forced the medicine down, patted Ding Surong's face, and said, "The medicine you found, naturally you must try it first yourself. Enjoy it thoroughly."

Watching the two lie there, she had no intention of kindly pressing their philtrum; after all, she hadn't struck them hard just now. Since that medicine was so potent, she was sure they would react before long.

She did not go straight home; instead, she took her basket to Uncle Liangzi's house. Seeing Aunt Liangzi chatting with someone at the gate, she asked, "Auntie, where is Cunyi?"

Aunt Liangzi looked at Liu Chuxue: "Do you need something from her?"

"A while ago he came to our house to ask me to collect cicada shells, but I waited a long time by the small bridge and never saw him, so I came to ask."

"What is this nonsense? That rascal followed your Uncle Liangzi to dig a cellar for his grandparents. Did he really ask you to collect cicada shells?"

"Yes."

"Just wait until I get my hands on that rascal and beat him to death; isn't this just fooling people?"

"Auntie, don't be angry. Wait until he returns and ask him about the situation. Since he isn't going, I will go instead. Besides, my flashlight doesn't have much battery left anyway."

Having finished speaking, she greeted the several aunts and uncles sitting in the cool air and then left.

Regardless of the reason, since he dared to help Liu Shuqin plot against her, he naturally deserved a small lesson.

Furthermore, by coming here, she had made these people witnesses for herself; she had not gone to the small woods in the south. When the matter blew up, they must not drag her into it.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her father holding a bowl and eating: "Father, why are you back so late?"

Liu's father swallowed the rice in his mouth: "I've been in the village for a while. I chatted with them at the breeding yard for a bit, which is why I'm back late."

Liu Chuxue brought a small stool over and sat beside her father: "Father, I'm fairly settled at the factory now. How about you come with me tomorrow? We can go to the hospital for a checkup and see when the steel nails can be removed."

Liu's father, remembering the words he had accidentally overheard his son-in-law saying to his daughter yesterday, hurriedly waved his hand: "No, let's do it next time. I have things to do tomorrow; I can't go."

Liu's mother was about to persuade him when she heard Liu's father say: "Let's go in a few days instead. We should at least settle the family matters first. Besides, I feel I'm recovering well. What if the doctor says the steel nails can be removed? Won't I still have to be hospitalized?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "It's just a checkup. Those steel nails probably can't be removed for a while; we can only ask for an approximate time."

As the three were talking, Chunxiao rushed back: "Mother, hurry! Something happened over at the small woods."

Seeing her like this, Liu's mother said: "So noisy and frantic; you are becoming more and more unruly."

Chunxiao ignored what she said: "Mother, everyone in the village has gone over. I heard someone is saying there are fairies fighting in the woods. I want to go see too, but they said only those with my lord accompanying them can go. Come on, come on, accompany me to see."

Saying this, she tried to grab Liu's mother's arm.

But she was stopped by Liu's father: "You are not allowed to go. Your mother isn't going either. Go back to your room and stay there."

Hearing she wasn't allowed to watch, Chunxiao said: "Why won't you let me watch? I'm going."

Liu's mother stood up and grabbed her arm: "Your father is right. None of us are going. Wash up and go to bed."

Chunxiao still wanted to argue, but Liu's mother's face darkened: "Do you think it's still vacation? Don't forget you have school tomorrow. Go back to your room and behave yourself. If you dare go over there, I'll break your legs."
