Chapter 57 Defense
The look of disgust in Yue Hanzheng's eyes was so real that it was completely undisguised.

He pushed her away so hard that Qiao Suluo was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Even though he was feeling unwell and had a leg ailment, he dragged his injured leg backward, determined to avoid Qiao Suluo.

"Qiao Suluo, no matter what you want to do to me, it's useless. You should give up on that idea."

"Even if I die, I will never submit to you."

Yue Hanzheng's cold and stern eyes were shrouded in a chilling light, filled with extreme hatred.

He didn't even bother to glance at her, turning his head away to avoid looking at Qiao Suluo.

He only glanced at Qiao Suluo once throughout the entire process.

amount……

Qiao Suluo collapsed to the ground, her bottom aching. This was the first time she had ever been so disliked.

Even Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo were never like this before.

When this person is not speaking, he is pleasing to the eye, but also gives off a desolate, broken, and weak feeling.

But when he speaks, his mouth becomes very sharp-tongued.

To be honest, Qiao Suluo felt terrible at that moment.

In her previous life, she had many fans because she was good at cooking. They would leave messages saying they liked her food, which made her feel warm and happy.

It feels like being loved.

But now that she was being so disliked, she really wanted to just leave and ignore Yue Hanzheng.

At this moment, the system seemed to sense the shift in Qiao Suluo's emotions and quickly advised her again, "Host, don't forget this is a mission. You can't be willful during a mission."

"Don't forget that he's in very poor health right now. He could die at any moment. Host, please don't neglect his life or death."

Qiao Suluo's expression shifted several times. She took a deep breath to bolster her courage, then stood up and looked at Yue Hanzheng, saying calmly, "This is a medical clinic, not Medicine King Valley."

“It was indeed my mistake to sell you to Medicine King Valley before, but I later realized my mistake and redeemed you from Medicine King Valley.”

"Here's your indenture. Tear it up yourself, and you'll be free."

Upon hearing these words, Yue Hanzheng's stern brows furrowed deeply, unable to believe it.

This wicked woman is actually so kind.

A contract of indenture?

how is this possible.

Yue Hanzheng then turned to look at Qiao Suluo, "What are you trying to lie to me about now?"

He suspected she had ulterior motives.

As for the so-called contract of indenture, he didn't believe it at all. Although he was treated as a medicine man in Medicine King Valley, the outer valley of Medicine King Valley was not as strict as the inner valley. Many people would joke about him in private, saying how his wife spent money.

How could she possibly have any money to redeem him?

Yue Hanzheng was tense all over, very wary of her.

Qiao Suluo was speechless and handed his indenture directly to him, saying, "You can see for yourself whether it's real or fake."

Yue Hanzheng looked at Qiao Suluo with a suspicious gaze, but did not take it.

"for you."

"Qiao Suluo, did you drug me again?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suluo's lips twitched violently. No wonder she didn't reach for it; she suspected that Qiao Suluo had drugged the paper.

She wanted to explain something, but memories of her past life suddenly flooded her mind.

It's true, the original owner of this body did use various methods to drug Yue Hanzheng. Even selling him to Medicine King Valley was done by drugging him when he was weak.

Qiao Suluo's forehead throbbed with pain. She tried to make her expression sincere as she said, "I really didn't drug you. I'm not lying to you."

"I was the one who cured you of the poison. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't care whether you lived or died, and I certainly wouldn't have spent money to redeem you."

Although it only cost one or two taels of silver, it's still silver, isn't it?

Upon hearing these words, Yue Hanzheng remembered what had happened before he fell into a deep sleep.

He paused slightly, his cold, stern eyes momentarily still.

He remembered that after drinking the medicine delivered by Steward Lin, his body suddenly began to ache violently, as if all the other toxins in his body were surging up. His body felt hot and cold, as if he were experiencing both ice and fire. That time, drinking the medicine hurt more than ever before.

He used to be able to endure the pain, even though he was completely exhausted and his whole body was soaked in sweat every time, at least he was still alive.

But that day he felt like he was going to die; he really felt the suffocating sensation of death.

After that, he lost consciousness.

He didn't die, he came back to life?
It was Qiao Suluo who rescued him in time and brought him out.

He then took the contract with some skepticism, examined it carefully several times, looking it over from all angles, to make sure there were no problems.

He saw the tinderbox and candles by the bed, lit them, and burned the contract to ashes.

In this way, he would be free, and he would never be deceived by this female beast again.

He would no longer have to be controlled by this vicious female beast.

Having roughly resolved the matter, Yue Hanzheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned against the headboard, his tense mind finally relaxing.

He then realized that the toxins in his body seemed to have been cleared, and he felt less uncomfortable.

His pupils contracted sharply before he looked closely at Qiao Suluo.

Upon closer inspection, Yue Hanzheng's expression changed slightly. The woman's skin had become whiter, and she had lost a lot of weight. She did seem somewhat different from before.

"You can tell me directly what you want or what your purpose is in doing these things."

Qiao Suluo said earnestly, "I just want you to live well and not give up on yourself. Your body will get better, and you will be able to stand up again."

Yue Hanzheng looked at his legs, gave a self-deprecating smile, and said with a look of self-loathing, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, my wife would say such a thing."

"Did the wife learn a new trick from someone?"

"If you live well, will your health improve?"

As he spoke, he scoffed and said, "My wife knows my dreams, knows that I can no longer go to the battlefield, so there's no need for her to humiliate me with my body."

He knows best what his legs are like; they are broken and he feels nothing. The young general he once was seems to have been submerged in the stories of the past.

He practiced with various weapons since childhood, was skilled with the long spear, and dreamed of protecting his country. Even if he died, he would die on the battlefield. He never expected that one day he would become such a useless person.

Seeing his self-destructive expression, Qiao Suluo suddenly remembered his previous identity: a young, victorious general, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, in the prime of his life, with unwavering loyalty, his eyes filled with the stars and the sea, and beautiful dreams. But losing his legs was like having his wings broken.

It's truly heartbreaking.

It is said that he was assassinated on the battlefield, which led to his condition.

Thinking of how he led the Yue family army to resist enemy troops on the border many times, protect the country and its people, she felt that his behavior was not unbearable.

Who told him to be a patient with such a tragic and beautiful appearance?

Qiao Sulu blinked and said, "Look, don't you think I've lost weight now? My skin has also become fairer..."

She wanted to use this intuitive feeling to talk about her medical skills and to tell him not to give up on himself.

Before she could finish speaking, Yue Hanzheng assumed that Qiao Suluo had some unrealistic ideas about him again, and said coldly and disgustedly, "You're fat and ugly, and especially vicious. Even if I looked like this, I would never like you."
