“By the way, Sister Yan, I made a new sachet. The old one’s scent should’ve already faded away, right?” Qiao Xiuli took out a handkerchief from her pocket. Needless to say, it was wrapped around a sachet, identical to the previous ones she made.
“I was just about to talk to you about this. Sister Li, I’ve trouble you again.” Qiao-shi motioned for Ru Hua to take it, but she didn’t hang it up or put it to her nose as she would normally do. Instead, she placed it on a nearby table and then left it there as if she forgot about it.
Before leaving, Qiao Xiuli glanced at the sachet and then bid goodbye. She didn’t want to stay here for another moment, for fear that she would reveal something by accident
Once Qiao Xiuli left, a cold look appeared in Qiao-shi’s eyes.
The sachet would lose its potency after a while, so Qiao Xiuli would always make sure to send a new one over.
She was now full of hatred for Qiao-shi and wished she could die faster. For that to happen, it all depended on the sachet. This was why she called for Fazi as soon as she returned.
She handed a sachet she made to Fazi, and said, “Let that person keep it close to him for a few days. Don’t let him stain it, then bring it back to me later.”
Fazi was used to doing this. He took the sachet along with some money from Qiao Xiuli and then he left in a hurry.
Actually, Fazi was long aware that his young miss was doing something harmful. Otherwise, who would be interested in someone suffering from tuberculosis? Much less making that person keep an object nearby and even giving him money? But Fazi didn’t care. It was his young miss who saved him back when he was a beggar. His life was hers.
Fazi sneaked towards the outer part of the city and walked to a remote corner.
Even in the capital, there were slums. He wandered around the alley until he finally arrived at the door of a broken house.
Before even entering through the door, a piercing cough could be heard from inside.
Fazi pushed the door and walked in. In this kind of place, even if the door wasn’t locked, not many people would dare to go in. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a place that even ghosts avoid.
Inside the room, there was a scrawny man curled up on the bed. The man’s face was black and yellow, his eyes were sunken, and he was so thin that his bones could be easily seen. Anyone who understood medicine would know that this person was terminally ill and unable to recover.
As soon as Fazi stepped inside, a light shone in the man’s eyes the way a wolf would upon seeing its prey.
“Master, you’re here? Do you still require this small one’s help? Give it to me, along with the money. Cough, cough. I want the money, I want the money to buy some supplements. I want to eat…”
Faizi covered his face with a handkerchief, took out the sachet and money from his pockets, and threw them towards him.
“Same rules. Make sure not to dirty the sachet. I’ll come for it in two days.”
The man held the sachet and nodded excitedly. Without even looking at it, he stuffed it into his pockets. Holding the money in his hand, he wanted to sit up, but because of how weak his body was, he fell back onto the bed.
Fazi didn’t look at him any further. He turned around towards the door. As soon as he opened it, a person he didn’t expect appeared outside the door.
Qiao Xiuli asked the maid to make a cup of tea. Holding a book in her hand, she sat on the big Kang next to the window.
She learned this habit of drinking tea while reading from Qiao-shi.
Holding the book in her hand, none of the words sank in. It was unknown what was going on in her mind. Suddenly, she felt an ache on her head before darkness completely swallowed her.
When she woke up again, she was in a dark room.
It was dim and dark everywhere. The window was covered with a piece of fabric. There was a corner that wasn’t completely covered, letting light through and allowing people to vaguely see the surroundings.
It was very quiet.
Because it was so quiet, her ears were more sensitive to sound. Qiao Xiuli heard a rustling noise, and she looked over. There was a bed in the corner. On the bed were some blankets piled up in a heap, so dirty she couldn’t even make out their original colour. Something was squirming under the blankets.
In this dark room, seeing such a scene was extremely unnerving.
Qiao Xiuli forgot to speak. She could only watch as the pile of bedding slowly wriggled until the person sat up.
What kind of person was that?
Qiao Xiuli couldn’t describe the person in words, but she subconsciously thought of the son of the family who lived in the alley.
His family lived close to the Qiao Family. Loud coughing could be heard day in, day out. Everyone avoided interaction with his family. Eventually, people who lived there even teamed up to drive the family away.
It was said that tuberculosis is contagious. No one was willing to risk their lives to live next to someone like that.
Qiao Xiuli didn’t know where he and his family moved to. But in her mind, he was the most filthy and terrifying person she could think of. She remembered glancing at the man and then becoming so frightened that she had nightmares for several nights in a row.
The man on the bed had a twisted expression on his face that couldn’t be called a smile. “Wife, help me up.”
Qiao Xiuli was shocked, “I’m not your wife! Who are you?”
“You are my wife. The master told me that you had the wicked idea to murder his madam, so he gave you to me as a wife instead. Not only that, but the master also said that he will spend money to help me see a doctor. He will even give me money to spend every month. Even if your heart is rotten, I’m not afraid because my heart is just as rotten. All I want is for you to give me a son right now…”
“Ever since I was diagnosed with this disease, no one dares to pay attention to me. I’m not afraid of you laughing, but everyone despises me. The idea of marrying a wife was simply a joke. But I’m the only male descendent left in my Ma Family. If my family line ended with me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to face my ancestors when I die… The master truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva, to send me such a beautiful wife. I don’t want to die now, I only want a son…”
While speaking, the man actually got off the bed and staggered towards Qiao Xiuli.
The blood drained from her face. Qiao Xiuli was so horrified that she couldn’t even move. She could only bulge her eyes as she watched the man approach and threw himself on top of her.
She wanted to scream, but her voice was caught in her throat.
The man’s hands were like dry sticks. Black and dry, it was a stark contrast against her snow-white skin, just like filth in pure white snow.
She was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She tried to push the person away, but something was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.
“By the way, the master also mentioned that you are a girl with ambition higher than the sky. Unfortunately, your life is thinner than paper. Afraid that it won’t be easy for you to be willing to be my wife, he gave me something good. Eat it. Eat it. Once you eat it, you’ll be willing…”
The man’s hoarse voice was like an evil spirit from hell.
The thing melted in her mouth. Qiao Xiuli tried her best to cough it out, but it was too late. She went crazy and tried to push the sick man off her, but she couldn’t push him away. Suddenly, she felt a strange reaction in her body.
