Chapter 15 Taking Down 9 Summers
Her hand was held tightly by Jiang Zhi, but she didn't fully trust him.
But Jiang Zhi's crazy appearance left a mark on her heart.
Jiang Zhi's words kept provoking her, making her want to go crazy with him.
This was the first time Jiu Xia had seen a hatred in someone else's eyes that was even more intense than her own.
This also made her wonder what Jiang Zhi had gone through to harbor such hatred.
"Come and kill me! What if you regret it later if you don't kill me?"
Jiang Zhi lowered his head and laughed, roaring, "Jiu Xia is right, she's a madwoman."
She went mad when she learned of all the evil things Gu Yuan had done.
If she could, she would be willing to become a madwoman, and then eliminate all those who had done evil deeds, one by one.
"Let me go."
Her hand loosened slightly, and the autopsy knife fell to the ground again, signifying that her heart had completely collapsed at that moment.
The Jiang Zhi in front of her was really not normal, but she inexplicably felt that what she said was true.
Everyone in Yanjing knew how ruthless the King of Liang was, so how could she become the King of Liang's consort?
Such a person must have methods and strategies.
Compared to her father and her background, what Jiang Zhi said seemed more appealing.
"It seems you don't want to kill me anymore, so let's sit down and talk."
Jiang Zhi sneered, and that sneer made the chill emanating from Jiu Xia even stronger.
She grew up around her father and came into contact with the dead.
She wasn't afraid of dead people, but she was actually a little afraid of Jiang Zhi in front of her.
Her temperament seems very changeable, and she's ruthless enough to risk her life to gamble with her.
She won the bet, and she also made herself look at her in a new light.
"Although I've agreed, it doesn't mean I'm willing to open up to you. What do you want to talk about?"
Jiuxia sat down, and everything seemed to happen so fast it was almost unbelievable, but then it instantly returned to calm, as if the scene had never happened.
My heart at noon is like a roller coaster, going up and down, sometimes plunging off a cliff, sometimes soaring into the clouds.
Stimulated by both factors, he fainted at noon.
"To be able to hold on until now before fainting, you truly deserve to be called your maid."
Jiu Xia smiled slightly, and Jiang Zhi slowly put away the autopsy knife.
"I want you to treat my brother. His leg disability was acquired, and the culprit is my stepmother."
"My father loved my half-sister."
Taking out a handkerchief, Jiang Zhi wiped away the blood and tears from the autopsy knife. Her eyes were calm, and she spoke slowly, as if she were telling Jiu Xia about something unrelated to herself.
Jiuxia was somewhat surprised, her expression becoming increasingly complicated.
Even more shocking, she said that her brother was ruined by her stepmother.
The news seems to be getting more and more explosive.
"Don't you know medicine yourself? Why don't you treat them?"
Jiuxia, somewhat curious, crossed her arms over her chest and asked casually.
"Because I don't want to reveal that I have medical skills."
After wiping the bloodstains off the autopsy knife, Jiang Zhi kicked it directly into his arms.
"Is this how Miss Jiang asks for help?"
Jiuxia narrowed her eyes, but there was no disgust in them; instead, a hint of appreciation appeared.
For the first time, she felt that someone could be so compatible with her temperament and interests.
"This is fair as payment for the injury you caused me, isn't it?" Jiang Zhi raised his eyelids and pointed to his neck.
"You help me heal my brother, and in return, I will help you take revenge. However, there is a time limit: I will help you achieve your wish within a year. But during this year, you must stay by my side and listen to me."
"What if you can't do it?" Jiuxia leaned forward slightly.
"If I can't do it, I'll give you my life."
"You know I don't care about my life."
Jiang Zhi smiled, a smile that pleased Jiu Xia greatly.
"Speak, what else is your purpose?"
Jiu Xia knew that Jiang Zhi's visit to her was definitely not just about curing Jiang Shuyue.
"That's easy. I came here today not only to discuss business with you, but also to ask you for another favor: give me some medicine."
She couldn't have come all this way for nothing.
She was going to drug Jiang Luan, and Jiang Luan was going to start acting like a demon.
Jiuxia raised an eyebrow and turned to prepare the medicine.
Jiang Zhi helped Wu Shi up, and they dodged the trap again. Jiu Xia lowered her eyes.
Interesting, very interesting. It seems that Jiang Zhi has even more secrets, but no matter what, she is ruthless enough and has a powerful identity, which is enough.
After receiving the medicine, Jiang Zhi said, "I won't pay you for today's consultation. We'll settle the bill after you've cured my brother."
As Jiang Zhi reached the door, he put his hat back on.
As she walked and talked, she was already certain that Jiu Xia would agree to her request.
In her past life, Jiu Xia had no choice, but now she does. As long as she's not stupid, she should know how to choose.
"Miss Jiang, I'm waiting for you. Let me make this clear first, my consultation fees are very high!"
Just as Jiang Zhi's figure was about to disappear from sight, Jiu Xia finally spoke up in response.
What she meant was that if she was invited to the Jiang family, she should be mentally prepared, because over the years, some people had come looking for her, and some had tried to assassinate her.
Her going to the Jiang family might bring her trouble.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come."
Jiang Zhi's voice trailed off.
Even if she couldn't see Jiang Zhi's face clearly, she could imagine her expression.
Jiu Xia smiled, having to admit that she was very satisfied with Jiang Zhi.

After leaving Tao Huiyuan, Lu Nianqiu did not return to her own courtyard, but instead went to the tombstones of her mother and aunt.
Lu Nianqiu gazed at the tombstone before her.
"Mother, I have good news for you. Zhizhi is back from Liangzhou!"
"But I always felt that Zhizhi was a little different."
She lowered her head dejectedly.
"Perhaps he suffered too much in Liangzhou."
Lu Nianqiu's eyes reddened slightly as she turned to look at her aunt's tombstone.
"Auntie, Zhizhi is finally back."
"I'm sorry, it's Nianqiu's incompetence that prevented Zhizhi from staying in Yanjing."
Her eyes were a little moist.
"Zhizhi is getting married, and to the Prince of Liang."
"I wonder if the King of Liang will stop this."
"But don't worry, both of you, Nianqiu will definitely protect Zhizhi for you!"
After a long while, just as Lu Nian was about to leave, there was a sudden "click".
"who!"
Lu Nianqiu called out, her brows furrowed, and she unconsciously took a half step back.
A man dressed in a blue robe, with his long hair tied up with a jade hairpin and wearing a black and gold mask, came into view.
"Huh? It's you."
Lu Nianqiu felt relieved.
His cool gaze lingered on her briefly before settling on her face. His voice was indifferent: "You know me?"
“I’ve known for a long time that you’ve been behind my mother’s gravestone.”
Are you here to visit your family too?
Lu Nianqiu was quite blunt.
He nodded slightly at her.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?"
The man looked down at her, his gaze intense, his cheeks flushed.
