"Thud!" A heavy blow landed on his back, and Chu Jiuge found himself sprawled on the ground, unable to get up for a long time...

He's ruthless!

Isn't she just marrying the Northern King who already has eight deceased fiancées?

Chu Jiuge has already agreed to marry, what else do these people want? Two days isn't enough, now they even have to beat him until he can't take care of himself, only then will they be satisfied?

Chu Jiugé was about to scold someone when a maidservant's voice, filled with despair and pleading, reached her ears: "Miss, Miss... you can't do this. The betrothed becomes a wife, the one who runs away becomes a concubine. You are the esteemed Chu family's pearl, you cannot just leave without name or status."

"Miss… tomorrow is your wedding day, you're going to run away now? What are we supposed to do, the Chu family? Miss, you can't be so selfish! The Northern King isn't someone easy to mess with, if he finds out, he'll kill us all! Miss… I beg you, before anyone notices, let's go back!"

……

"I'm going..." Without even thinking, I know I've been set up.

Chu Jiuge couldn't help but curse softly, secretly letting out a breath. Ignoring the burning pain on her back, she gritted her teeth and struggled to get up from the ground.

As the recognized number one divine physician of Hua Xia, Chu Jiuge knew that although the strike just now wasn't light, it hadn't injured any tendons or bones. At most, there would be some redness and swelling on his back. He would be fine after resting a bit.

"Little, Miss… you, you didn't... anything?" The maidservant kneeling beside Chu Jiuge, crying loudly, saw Chu Jiuge stand up. She widened her eyes in disbelief and stared...

He took the "death" character and changed it to "event."

Didn't the master say he gave the young mistress a poison pill?

Why did Miss come back to life once before, and now she's alive again?

Must we fight again?

"I'm not dead, you're surprised?" Although Chu Jiuge had been awake in this world for three days, she had been in a semi-comatose state for the first three days and knew almost nothing about the outside world.

The past three days, my spirit and I felt separated, heavy and uncontrollable. My mind was also foggy and sluggish.

About knowing he was dead, that year, his fame was unparalleled. He was China's number one divine doctor, acknowledged personally by the leader. Now, he is Donglin Chu's young lady.

“No, no, no, Miss, it’s good that you’re alright. Miss, let's go back. The Xiao family is a renowned and prestigious family. Young Master Xiao was just speaking casually; he didn't truly like you. He wouldn't elope with you. Miss, let's go back. Before the Northern King discovers that you ran away with someone, let’s return.” The maid’s face turned pale with fright, but she remained composed. She even quietly climbed onto the discarded wood beside her, attempting to retrieve it. Alas…

Now Chu Jiugé is no longer the Chu Jiugé she once was.

"Bang!" Chu Jiuge stepped on the maid's hand with one foot: "What? Do you want to hit me again?"

“No, no...Miss, you misunderstand me. I took up the wood for self-defense.” The maid was so scared that she spoke without thinking, not knowing what she was saying. When she came to her senses, she immediately raised her voice and shouted: “Yes, yes, Miss, I was defending myself. Let's go back. You brought so much silver and jewelry, what if someone robbed us? Besides, this silver and jewelry belong to the second master's family. It’s not ours to take... ”

"Bang!" Chu Jiuge kicked the maid in the mouth, "You! You deserve to die!"

Outside the city, with only the two of us weaklings, this maid screaming about silver - isn't she asking for our deaths?

"Ah... Miss." The maid was knocked to the ground by Chu Jiugé, staring at her in terror. She finally stopped talking nonsense, but...

It's too late!
