The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 136 Madness
"You're saying that Chunlan hired people from Black Mountain Cave to cause trouble for the Xiao family in Shuikou Village?"

Chunlan's demand was that Chunnuan be ruined, but the people from Black Mountain Cave only set fire to one house, which angered the old lady to death. Chunnuan appeared unharmed at the old lady's funeral. Xiao Chunlan was furious and refused to pay the remaining half of the money.

“How could she possibly control the people of Black Mountain Cave? They are people I shouldn’t even mess with. She actually provoked them. She’s just asking for trouble.”

Xiao Changfa secretly resented Xiao Chunlan's stupidity.

Since we can find the people in the Black Mountain Cave, we should tell them.

He will make the arrangements to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Now not only has the project failed, but I've also gotten myself involved.

Is there a good girl who was kidnapped by bandits and then comes back?

For the sake of the reputation of all the girls in the Xiao family, regardless of whether she is good or bad, she will not be allowed to return.

Wen was utterly dumbfounded after hearing the whole story.

Was it Chunlan who contacted the bandits, with the intention of harming Xiao Chunnuan?
The possibility of her harming Xiao Chunnuan exists, because she likes Zhao Minghua and hates Xiao Chunnuan to the core for knowing that Xiao Chunnuan is engaged to Zhao Minghua. It is understandable that she would try to make things difficult for Xiao Chunnuan.

But how could Chunlan contact the people in Black Mountain Cave?
"How could a young woman like her, who rarely leaves her home, possibly contact the people in Black Mountain Cave?" Wen asked repeatedly.

"Go ask Chunlan how you got in touch. How would I know if you ask me?" After saying this, Xiao Changfa confirmed once again that the people from Black Mountain Cave had planted many spies in the Xiao clan, including someone Chunlan trusted. They must have whispered in her ear, and Chunlan, blinded by greed, actually did it.

Cooperating with Black Mountain Cave is undoubtedly like asking a tiger for its skin.

"Bring in all of Chunlan's servants."

Faced with Xiao Changfa's anger, none of the servants dared to utter a sound.

It is a sin to fail to take good care of the young lady and allow her to be kidnapped.

"Is this all? Are there any others?"

"Reporting to the master, all of Miss's servants are here."

Xiao Changfa had them taken into a small dark room and interrogated one by one, but in the end, he couldn't get any information out of them.

"Master, the people around Miss are all elderly people and servants. They are responsible for their families and wouldn't do anything stupid. There shouldn't be any problems."

"So who is this inside man? And most importantly, who can Chunlan trust?"

Xiao Changfa's eyes swept over the servants present. Madam Wen was also watching, wondering who was so bold as to encourage Chunlan to do such a foolish thing.

Granny Chen kept her eyes closed and her nose closed, but her heart was in turmoil: something was wrong, something was seriously wrong!
The young lady told me to find someone to deal with Xiao Chunnuan, and only said one sentence: I must do it, or else...

She was so angry that she couldn't eat when she got home.

When her son asked her what was wrong, Granny Chen told him about the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of the Xiao family.

Her son comforted her, saying it was nothing serious.

He didn't take it seriously, but he never expected that something would really happen to Xiao Chunnuan's family.

Shortly after, the young lady also got into trouble.

But why are there so many stories surrounding the young lady's incident?

Chen Mama, who knew the people of Black Mountain Cave very well, knew that they never made excuses for what they did.

Did the people from Black Cave do this?

"Granny Chen..." Granny Chen, suddenly called out, jumped in fright and quickly stood up straight, looking at Xiao Changfa who had called her: "I'm asking you a question, what were you thinking about?" "Please forgive me, sir, this old servant was just thinking about the rabbits at home about to have babies... This old servant was wrong, this old servant shouldn't have been distracted while on duty..."

“Master, Granny Chen has been with me for a long time. She watched Chunlan grow up. How could she have any other intentions?” Madam Wen said. “Master, we need to investigate everyone else, not just those in our own courtyard. I want to see who is harming Chunlan. If I find out, I will tear her tendons out and skin her alive, and that won’t be enough to satisfy my anger!”

Wen's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Xiao Changfa couldn't bear to see Wen Shi like this, so he turned around and left.

No one noticed that Chen Mama behind Wen was turning pale, clenching her teeth and holding on.

She knew perfectly well that she was inextricably linked to the young lady's accident this time.

All because her son, Jin Biao, was working for someone in the Black Mountain Cave!

Inside the Black Mountain Cave, Xiao Chunlan looked at the person in front of her and turned ashen-faced with fright.

She never dreamed that one day she would be dragged out of bed, blindfolded, gagged, and handcuffed all the way, and then thrown onto a carriage. She didn't even know how far they had traveled before they arrived here.

"Who are you and what are you going to do?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I'm going to teach you a lesson." Jin Biao lifted her chin and looked at her: "The legendary Miss Xiao, she's really not that good-looking."

These words made Xiao Chunlan both angry and annoyed.

"You are far inferior to the real Miss Xiao from Shuikou Village."

"You're talking nonsense." Xiao Chunlan broke down. She was the eldest granddaughter of the Xiao clan patriarch and had been pampered since childhood, receiving all sorts of praise and compliments. As she grew up, she became even more arrogant, considering herself as noble as the county magistrate's daughter. However, Zhao Minghua, whom she had her eye on, became Xiao Chunnuan's fiancé, and now even a robber said he was inferior to her: "In what way am I inferior to a country girl like her?"

"The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness."

Jin Biaoren has been a spoiled young lady for quite some time now. His mother often comes back sighing, and the reason for her unhappiness is that the young lady is difficult to please.

He had long wanted to stop his mother from becoming some kind of servant, but she always said that the family was poor and that he was getting old, so she needed to earn more money to help him find a wife...

Jin Biao was suffering. He was clearly the master of the mountain, but he couldn't tell anyone about this identity, not even his mother.

But his mother knew that he was working for people in the Black Mountain Cave, because many people in the village worked there, and no one in the village knew his true identity.

To outsiders, he was the lowest-ranking servant in the Black Mountain Cave.

When he puts on the mask, he becomes the master of the Black Mountain Cave.

"The granddaughter of Physician Xiao is a pampered young lady raised in the capital. You are illiterate, spoiled and willful, fat and dark-skinned, and have a terrible temper. I wouldn't even want someone like you if you were given to me, yet you still dare to covet Young Master Zhao..."

It has to be said that Jin Biao knows how to hit people where it hurts.

Zhao Minghua was someone Xiao Chunlan could never have, and that was her greatest sorrow.

Now that she was being scolded like this, Xiao Chunlan's tears flowed even more freely. She forgot where she was and just kept cursing.

"No, that's not it! She's the ugliest, she's the worst! She actually stole my man! I'll make her pay! I'll kill her! No, no, no, I'll make her wish she were dead..."

Jin Biao was utterly disgusted by the woman's erratic and manic behavior. What kind of people were the Xiao family? How could they raise such a daughter?

"Before you kill her, you should think about yourself first." Jin Biao smiled eerily. "Do you think you can leave here alive? Or rather, even if you do leave, your good father will let you live?"

What do you mean?
Xiao Chunlan looked at the masked face in shock.
