The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife

353 Seal

There was a brand mark on the back of her neck.

Noticing Yue Jiaojiao’s gaze, Li Xiangjun moved her body, looked at her, and smiled.

She was obviously absent-minded, and her smile did not reach her eyes when she spoke.

“Jiaojiao,” Li Xiangjun hesitated for a moment, looked at her, and said in a warm voice, “Did you hear about Fang Tianliu?”

!!
Yue Jiaojiao did not expect her to mention this suddenly, she was silent for a moment and shook her head. “No, since Fang Tianliu came back from Huai County last time, he left for Jiangnan, and we haven’t received any of his letters.”

“Fang Tianliu went to Jiangnan to find out the truth about the death of his parents.” Yue Jiaojiao suddenly turned to look at Li Xiangjun. “Xiangjun, have you been in Jiangnan for so long, haven’t you met him?”

Her eyes kept falling on Li Xiangjun’s face.

“No,” Li Xiangjun shook his head.

“Then what news did you inquire about Fang Tianliu today?”

“I was just worried about meeting him. Now that I know that you may not have heard from him for a long time, I can rest assured.”

“Xiangjun,” Yue Jiaojiao did not want to discuss too much about Fang Tianliu, and looked at her worriedly, “I think you look bad, may I ask Doctor Sun to come over and read your pulse?”

“It just so happens that you don’t know where you should go right now, why don’t you just stay with me and take a good rest for a while.”

“You may not know yet…” Yue Jiaojiao poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. “My baby is now one month old, and now you’re pregnant too. If you stay here, we can talk about having a baby.”

“Now, I consider myself an experienced person, and I can tell you a lot about it.”

Yue Jiaojiao held Li Xiangjun’s hand. “Your hand is so cold, I’d better ask Doctor Sun to come over and take a look at you.”

“No need,” Li Xiangjun said anxiously, “I don’t…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her head felt dizzy one after another, and she slumped powerlessly on the chair.

Yue Jiaojiao immediately got up when she saw something wrong, walked up to her, and supported her.

“Madam Qin.”

Madam Qin has been guarding the door, and she rushed into the door when she heard the sound.

“Miss? Oh, what’s wrong with Miss Li?” Madam Qin walked over to hold Li Xiangjun’s arm and helped her to lie down on the bed. “I’ll call Doctor Sun over here.”

“Okay, Madam Qin, go quickly.”

Yue Jiaojiao checked her breathing first.

When she got closer, she realized that the collar of Li Xiangjun’s coat was tightly tied, and a deep mark had already been drawn around her neck.

“The collar is so tight… She’s going to be strangled.” Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were anxious, she stretched out her hands to untie her collar, and her hand paused. “This…”

There was a brand on her neck that was similar to the back of her neck.

Yue Jiaojiao raised her neck and looked at her carefully, barely identifying her.

The brand marks on her body seemed to be covering up some handwriting.

The brand was about an inch wide, surrounding half of the neck, and there was a large area of brand marks on the right collarbone.

“I’m here.”

Doctor Sun came in from the outside with a medicine box in his hand. To avoid suspicion, he stood at the door and did not move forward.

“Doctor Sun,” Yue Jiaojiao rearranged her collar, and then pulled the quilt up to cover her neck. “Okay, Doctor Sun, you can come over and feel her pulse.”

Doctor Sun responded, and walked up to him carrying the medicine box.

Yue Jiaojiao moved a bench for him to sit on, and then pulled Li Xiangjun’s wrist out of the quilt and placed it on the edge of the bed.

“The pulse condition is weak. It’s slow and faint.” Doctor Sun put his fingers on her pulse, and his brows were tightly furrowed. “With Miss Li’s body like this, she must rest properly. If she’s not careful, she might lose the child in her womb, and it might also endanger her own life.”

“Doctor Sun, why did her body become like this?”

“Miss Li is depressed and worry too much,” Doctor Sun said in a heavy tone, “In addition, she must have been abused. You can see that there are traces of being strangled by ropes on her wrists. The wounds are too deep to heal. It should be a visible bone injury.”

“Doctor Sun,” Yue Jiaojiao thought of the scar on Li Xiangjun’s neck and said, “Do you have any medicine here that can make the scar lighter, or can it completely recover?”

“We need to see what kind of scar it is.”

“Burning wounds are the kind of raised scars that look like they were covered with a red hot iron.”

Revealing the scar would be an invasion of Li Xiangjun’s privacy, and Yue Jiaojiao cannot explain it.

“It can be lightened, but it can’t be completely removed.” Doctor Sun rummaged through the medicine box but could not find what he was looking for. “I brewed a bottle of medicine before, but when Jiyan left, he took it with him.”

“If I had to make another batch now, I will need a lot of medicinal materials,” Doctor Sun said, picking up the medicine box and getting up. “If you need it, then I will go to Doctor Zhou another day and ask him to recruit some help to gather it.”

No matter what, Li Xiangjun is her friend. Yue Jiaojiao could not let her go. “Doctor Sun, are those medicinal materials hard to find? Why don’t you tell me about them, and I’ll ask Zhao Zhan to look for them together.”

The workshop has been open for so long, and it has made a lot of contacts.

“Snow Ginseng Herb.” Doctor Sun was afraid that she would not know the exact words, so he took a pen and paper and wrote it down. It’s this medicinal herb.”

“I got it.” Yue Jiaojiao nodded, carefully put the paper in her arms, and then looked at Doctor Sun solemnly. “Doctor Sun, do you have contacts in Jiangnan that can help me search for someone?”

“We haven’t heard from Fang Tianliu in a long time. I want to check to see if there is any news from him.”

Doctor Sun paused when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Yue Jiaojiao, and then glanced at Li Xiangjun who was on the bed. “Do you know that the child in her belly belongs to Fang Tianliu?”

Yue Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, and said in a surprised tone, “Fang Tianliu? How do you know?”

“I just took her pulse. The development age of the baby in her womb is about the same as the month when Fang Tianliu went to Jiangnan.” Doctor Sun stretched his sleeves. “Do you still remember that Fang Tianliu came from Huai County? Did Miss Li come to your house the day before you came back?”

“At that time, this girl still…”

It’s hard for Doctor Sun to say what happened next.

However, strangely, Yue Jiaojiao understood.

At that time, Li Xiangjun was still in perfect condition.

“Doctor Sun, are you sure the child in her belly belongs to Fang Tianliu?”

“When Fang Tianliu came back from Huai County that day, I found out when I felt his pulse. Unless they didn’t meet that night, the child in her belly must belong to Fang Tianliu.”

“The injury on her body looks like it’s more than four months old. If it wasn’t for the fact that the fetus in her womb had not settled firmly before then, she would definitely not have been able to conceive.”

Yue Jiaojiao turned her head and glanced at Li Xiangjun.
