Chapter 152: Fertilizer

(School starts tomorrow, sorry I'm running out of time, let me water two chapters.)

Jiang Youyi was secretly shocked.

Sure enough, pain tortures people. Although Du Mingzhu used to be extremely harsh to servants, cutting off hands and feet at every turn, she didn't go as far as she was now, wanting someone's life for such a small matter.

But thinking about it carefully, it was understandable. Anyone whose face suddenly turned into that ghost look would collapse, right?

That's why she vented her anger on others.

Jiang Youyi didn't want to touch Du Mingzhu's bad luck, but Danju was her personal maid who had accompanied her for many years, and she still had some feelings.

Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly stepped forward, slapping Danju twice loudly, scolding, "If you are still so careless next time, see if I don't beat you to death."

Danju covered her face and cried, "I know, Miss, the maid will never dare again."

"Yi sister really has a Bodhisattva heart." Du Mingzhu struggled to sit up straight, leaning against the head of the bed, her tone calm but cold. "Such a precious peacock epiphyllum was broken by a servant, and you can actually let it go so lightly."

She looked at the old woman who was carefully cleaning up and smiled. "Actually, it's not completely unsalvageable. Although the roots are damaged, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, it can still come back to life."

"Really? That's great!"

Several hundred taels were nothing to Jiang Youyi, but it wasn't a small amount after all, so she hurriedly asked, "Mingzhu, tell me quickly, what nutrition is needed? I'll have someone do it now."

Du Mingzhu's gaze slowly moved to Danju, stretching out a deformed and twisted finger to point at her. "It's very simple. Just cut off her pair of hands and use them as fertilizer."

Jiang Youyi: "..."

Danju was scared out of her wits, kowtowing non-stop, her forehead bruised and swollen, tears streaming down.

"Miss, spare my life! The maid was unintentional! Please look at the fact that the maid has served you for so many years and spare the maid's lowly life! Miss..."

Jiang Youyi bit her lip, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Du Mingzhu didn't speak, her face full of bumps and pits, smiling but not smiling.

It was Jiang Shi who spoke to ease the embarrassment. "Zhuer, Youyi came to see you with good intentions. Why are you teasing people again?"

As she said this, she held Jiang Youyi's hand and smiled, "Don't mind her; she's just playing with you. It's not that exaggerated to cut off hands. I see the flower isn't badly hurt; just change the pot and add some good soil, and it will be fine. It won't die."

Jiang Youyi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

After comforting her for a few words, Jiang Shi called the old woman out, saying she was going to find a new pot, and took Danju out by the way.

Only Du Mingzhu and Jiang Youyi were left in the prison cell.

For some reason, Jiang Youyi always felt that apart from her face, Du Mingzhu's personality seemed to have changed, becoming a bit strange and terrifying.

She suppressed the urge to run away, sat on the stool by the bed, wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.

"Is Yi sister wondering how I became like this?" Du Mingzhu was very understanding.

Jiang Youyi hurriedly waved her hand. "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."

Although she really wanted to know, this was Du Mingzhu's sad matter after all; who would be willing to uncover their own scars?

"There's nothing I don't want to say." Du Mingzhu raised her hand to touch her face and smiled. "This is a gift from my three blood relatives. They are really good to me; I will never forget it in my life."

Jiang Ning, Jiang Shu, and that slut Du Ruo, you three remember this.

The hatred of today's disfigurement will definitely be repaid double in the future!

Jiang Youyi listened in a fog, but looking at Du Mingzhu's appearance, she didn't ask in detail.

Instead, she turned to other topics. "By the way, Mingzhu, when I came over, I happened to run into Jiang Li."

Du Mingzhu said "Oh" faintly.

Jiang Youyi continued, "I really didn't expect Jiang Li to look quite handsome. Wasn't he a rough man before? I don't think he's rough at all?"

Du Mingzhu's eyes gradually turned cold.

It was all because that dead girl Xia He had bad eyes. Otherwise, she would rather have broken the engagement than let that slut Du Ruo take advantage of it!

"Alas, it's a pity. If you had married him, Mingzhu, even if you were sick today, Jiang Li would definitely not leave you. Look at his attitude toward Du Ruo; you can tell. Du Ruo is so ugly, yet he still treats her like a treasure, pampering and protecting her?"

Hearing these heartbreaking words, Du Mingzhu's nails dug into her flesh, almost screaming at Jiang Youyi to get out.

However, thinking that Jiang Youyi was the only one who came to visit her when she was in trouble, Du Mingzhu still held back her temper and smiled. "Forget it, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you, Yi sister. How are you? Is the marriage settled? Has your sweetheart Xiao Liangchen been moved by your sincerity and agreed to marry you?"

Now it was Jiang Youyi's turn to be heartbroken.

"Agree to what? Isn't it all thanks to that slut Du Ruo? People now wish they could stay ten thousand miles away from me."

Jiang Youyi said with a bitter face, "You don't know, my father has already started looking for other scholars for me. Xiao Liangchen performed well in the county examination this time and took second place. My father said, Xiao Liangchen is so ungrateful, isn't it just because he is good at reading? Then let's find someone better than him, find the county's top scholar! As a result... guess what?"

Du Mingzhu thought for a while. "Could it be that the county's top scholar is an old man?"

*Pfft*, Jiang Youyi was amused by her.

"That's not it. It's just that the county's top scholar is actually Jiang Li's younger brother, Jiang Zhan, which is Du Ruo's brother-in-law! Isn't it infuriating?"

She naturally didn't want anyone related to Du Ruo.

So that's how it was, Du Mingzhu understood.

It seems the Jiang family is going to revive. Jiang Zhan seems to be the same age as her, yet he is already the county's top scholar, which shows that his future is bright.

Jiang Mo Nian's son is not bad after all.

The two best friends talked for a while, and Du Mingzhu was a bit tired. Seeing her sleepy expression, Jiang Youyi very sensibly got up to say goodbye. ===== CHAPTER 153 =====
