She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 141 - She Passed Away...
Chapter 141 -141 She Passed Away…
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian knelt before Mr. Li.
Mr. Li had just consumed two bowls of porridge and was leaning against his bed, staring ominously at Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian.
The two of them had already admitted their faults.
Lady Shufei, even more so, cried out, “This prescription was something I heard from the Imperial Physician during my time serving the Emperor, and I’ve never tested it, so I didn’t know whether it would work or not.”
Xiang Qianqian explained, “My mother only mentioned it with good intentions, never expecting that Zhao Yushi would remember it deliberately. Who could have thought she would be so bold and reckless as to treat Mr. Li without any medical knowledge?”
Mr. Li sneered coldly, “So, are you saying that you and the Military Supervisor connived with her to deceive me?”
Judging by his tone, it seemed he was preparing to settle the account thoroughly.
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian dared not respond.
Mr. Li clapped his hands, “Bring it here!”
Someone was leading something, whipping it forward as it crawled over.
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian focused their gaze and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.
It was Zhao Yushi, clad in sheepskin!
Her body was naked, with whip marks on her torso and legs.
The entire person had been severely tortured; it’s unknown what kind of torment she suffered, her skin a mix of purples and blues—an utterly pitiable sight!
Zhao Yushi seemed somewhat out of her senses, her facial expression vacant and stupefied.
Completely stripped of dignity, her defenses shattered.
This was the sheep leading ceremony…
Xiang Qianqian began to tremble, while Lady Shufei was so scared she began knocking her head on the ground.
“Milord! I beg you not to treat us this way, we are willing to do anything.”
Saying this, she pushed Xiang Qianqian forward, “My daughter is young and gentle, if Milord takes a fancy to her, keeping her by your side as a concubine is also an option. Please have mercy, Milord!”
Xiang Qianqian’s complexion turned deathly white at once, tears streaming down.
“Mother! You…”
“If you want to live, listen to me!” Lady Shufei glared fiercely.
Xiang Qianqian shuddered and lowered her head, starting to sob.
Mr. Li grew impatient.
“What are you crying for? I haven’t decided your fate yet, and you’re already crying. Rest assured, I want to release you and have no intention to make things difficult.”
“I just brought you two here to reprimand you in person; your fake prescription has caused me no small trouble!”
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian abruptly looked up, both startled in their eyes.
Mr. Li… was willing to let them go just like that?
Zhao Yushi had killed the young master of the Li Family; logically speaking, he should be eager to flay them alive.
Otherwise, their fate would be the same as Zhao Yushi’s.
As if noticing the confusion in their eyes, Mr. Li chuckled coldly.
“I was indeed planning to deal with you, but you should be grateful that that man named Xiang Ying changed my mind. Otherwise, none of the four of you would be leaving here alive.”
In his view, Xizhou was a conquered country, so its people were nothing more than animals like pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Even if Xiang Ying cured him, he had no intention of letting her leave safely.
It wasn’t until what Xiang Ying said surprised him.
In order to find a cure for the Water Worm Disease, he was willing to spare these people’s lives.
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian exchanged glances.
“Milord… could it be that you have taken a fancy to Xiang Ying?”
Mr. Li glanced at the two women, “Such fools, compared to the just Xiang Ying, you don’t even have half her wits.”
With that, he waved his hand, “Take Zhao Yushi away and get out of my official residence.”
Lady Shufei and Xiang Qianqian didn’t dare linger, fearing Mr. Li would change his mind.
They dragged Zhao Yushi out.

However, Zhao Yushi was already in a daze, and realizing she was being dragged, she began to scream and cry.
To coerce her into following, Lady ruthlessly threw aside the sheepskin covering her body.
“If you behave, I’ll let you put it on, otherwise, let everyone have a good look!”
Zhao Yushi felt as if struck by lightning, acutely aware of the pointing and whispering glances from the servants, her arms wrapped tightly around herself.
“Give it to me! Give me the sheepskin!” She scrambled up, and Lady immediately led her out of the mansion.
At this moment, laughter erupted from behind, with the servants pointing at Zhao Yushi and gossiping.
“She really looks like a sheep.”
“What a pity, Mr. Li was going to let her go, otherwise, we could have had more fun.”
Zhao Yushi felt as if she had plunged into an ice cellar.
Only after leaving the residence did Lady deign to throw the sheepskin over her.
“Move it, you should be glad you’re still alive!” Lady urged.
However, Zhao Yushi let out a piercing cry and fiercely slammed herself into a pillar.
Xiang Qianqian covered her eyes in fright, only to hear a heavy thud.
The gatekeeper stuck his head out to see the blood everywhere and cursed: “This Yang Girl has smashed herself to death right in front of our gate!”
“Hurry and clean up this mess, what bad luck.”
Xiang Qianqian’s lips quivered, her face drained of color.
“Mother… Mother, did we cause Zhao Yushi’s death?”
She was still a bit afraid.
What would they say when they get back and everyone asks?
Lady had already come to her senses, grabbed Xiang Qianqian, and hurried forward.
“Remember, her death has nothing to do with us; she couldn’t withstand the humiliation of being subjected to the sheep leading ceremony by Mr. Li because she couldn’t compete with Xiang Ying. She took her own life, understand?”
Under Lady’s repeated instructions, Xiang Qianqian nodded through tears: “I understand.”
At the camp, Jie Chen ordered everyone to pack up, planning to leave the place the next morning and officially cross Bogui Mountain.
Xiang Ying distributed a hundred pairs of snow boots to the water bandits and the prisoners who had agreed to live with her on the hillside.
Of the hundred pairs, two were left over: one for Jie Chen and the other Xiang Ying decided to keep for herself as a spare.
On their way back, Jie Chen had already discussed with Xiang Ying the need to prescribe medicine for the sick soldiers suffering from diarrhea.
This time, Xiang Ying didn’t shirk the task.
After all, if these men got any sicker, it would delay their plans.
She still had to raid Nanyue!
Without a second thought, Xiang Ying prepared the medicine and mixed it into their soup.
In just half an hour, the medicine already took effect.
Just then, someone shouted, “Xiang Qianqian and her mother are back!”
Everyone looked up, and Zhao Bingyang was the first to rush forward.
He kept asking, “Where’s my sister? Why have only the two of you returned, where is my sister?”
Xiang Qianqian’s face showed difficulty, her eyes reddened.
“She…”
Fearful that Xiang Qianqian would slip up, Lady quickly took over: “Heir Zhao, please restrain your grief, your sister Yushi… she’s already dead.”
“What!?” Zhao Bingyang staggered, nearly falling, his eyes filling with grief.
He was particularly baffled, “How could this be, you all returned fine, why couldn’t she return?”
Xiang Qianqian choked up: “She was humiliated by the sheep leading ceremony and in a moment of despair… she collided with a pillar and died.”
Zhao Bingyang felt an icy chill all over, he slowly turned his head and saw Jie Chen, charging towards him.
“You tell me, what the hell happened! Didn’t you go find Mr. Li? Why did you only bring back Xiang Ying! You just left my sister there, subjected to others’ humiliation, didn’t you!”
Before he could reach Jie Chen, Skinny Monkey kicked him to the ground: “What are you raging about, I’ll believe it if I slaughter you!”
Xiang Ying glanced towards the direction of the commotion.
Hearing Zhao Bingyang’s hysterical cries: “Xiang Ying came back alive, but my sister was humiliated to death, dare you say it has nothing to do with you!?”
