Chapter 213 It’s done
The entire basket of grapes ended up in Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu's stomachs.

Zhou Wangshu settled the last account and summarized all the details in the ledger for Su Yaoguang.

These are the account books for three consecutive months, and every single entry is very clear.

In addition to checking whether there are any false accounts in the ledgers, they also need to analyze whether the business has improved or deteriorated in the past few months, whether the old customers have ordered more or less goods, and whether there are any new customers each month, etc.

"Ugh..." Su Yaoguang clutched her stomach.

Zhou Wangshu had just finished organizing the ledgers and was about to finish work when he saw Su Yaoguang's pale face and panicked.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Su Yaoguang held her stomach and forced a smile.

“Your face is paler than paper, and you still say nothing’s wrong?” Zhou Wangshu said, getting up and pulling her back. “Come on, let’s find Jiang Jing to examine you.”

“Jing’er isn’t in the city today; she went to the countryside to see a seriously ill patient,” Su Yaoguang said. “I’m fine; don’t worry.”

"A stomachache is normal?" Zhou Wangshu frowned, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Oh dear..." Su Yaoguang blushed, "It really is normal, believe me!"

Zhou Wangshu was still a 'child', how could she know how difficult it was to be a woman? Women have these little days every month, they just have to endure it for a few days and it will be fine.

If it were a woman seeing her in such pain, she would probably have guessed why she was suffering so much, and wouldn't have made such a fuss like he did.

Seeing that she was reluctant to seek medical help, Zhou Wangshu simply picked her up.

"Put me down, I'm really okay..."

"Do not talk."

"Wang Shu, I'm really fine..." Su Yaoguang leaned close to his ear shyly and whispered a few words, "That's how it is. Women often experience this. There's nothing to be alarmed about. If you take me to a clinic, people will laugh at us."

Zhou Wangshu was skeptical.

Su Yaoguang glared at him, her cheeks flushed: "Put me down right now."

"Then you should rest for a bit and not run around." Zhou Wangshu put her down.

Su Yaoguang let out a light breath.

She is currently in the study of the workshop, where there is a simple rest room on the inside, where she can sometimes take a break.

Su Yaoguang lay down on the bed, and Zhou Wangshu poured her some hot water and watched her drink it.

Zhou Wangshu stayed by the bedside for a while, and when he saw that she had fallen asleep, he returned to the outside of the study.

A muffled groan came from inside.

Judging from that sound, Su Yaoguang must be in a lot of pain right now.

Zhou Wangshu strode in, and when he saw that her forehead was covered in cold sweat, he couldn't care less about anything else and immediately carried her out.

When Su Yaoguang woke up again, she found herself lying in the clinic's rest room.

With Jiang Jing unavailable, he had to entrust her to other doctors. Su Yaoguang was a celebrity; there weren't many people in the entire county who didn't know her. Upon seeing that she was ill, the doctor took it very seriously and informed Zhou Wangshu about Su Yaoguang's condition.

Su Yaoguang overheard Zhou Wangshu discussing something with a stranger. At first, she didn't hear clearly, but after listening intently and understanding what they were saying, she wished she could disappear into the ground.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

Zhou Wangshu walked in carrying the decocted medicine: "Get up and drink your medicine when you wake up."

"How did you know I was awake?" Su Yaoguang asked awkwardly as she opened her eyes.

“The breathing of a sleeping person is different from that of an awake person.” Zhou Wangshu handed her the medicine. “Drink it quickly, it will make you feel better.” Su Yaoguang took the bowl and gulped it down.

"I feel much better."

"Dr. Wang gave you acupuncture, which has a pain-relieving effect. Dr. Wang said the reason you're in so much pain is because you ate too much ice. Women need to keep warm these days and absolutely cannot eat ice. You just ate so many chilled grapes."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

Seeing that she was both embarrassed and guilty, Zhou Wangshu stopped bringing up the topic and simply stayed quietly by her side.

When can I go back?

“Once you look better, I’ll have Doctor Wang take your pulse to make sure you won’t faint from the pain again before we go back. If you don’t listen, I’ll tell Mother and Aunt about this so they know how you’re taking care of yourself.”

Su Yaoguang behaved herself.

If her mother found out about this, she'd nag her endlessly.

Su Yaoguang cooperated with Zhou Wangshu, as obedient as a cat.

When the two returned to Peach Blossom Pavilion, they heard that Chun'e had been waiting for a long time.

"Yaoguang, it's done." Chun'e pulled her inside. "I threatened him hard as you said, and he behaved himself."

"Did he agree to your conditions?" Su Yaoguang asked.

“He agreed. He has three properties, one hundred acres of land, and eight thousand taels of silver in savings. To shut me up, he is willing to put all those properties, land, and savings in my name.”

"Would that woman agree?"

“I have evidence of his wrongdoings. If he doesn’t want to see the authorities, he has to do as I say.”

"He's only agreed, he hasn't done what you said yet. He agreed so readily, I'm afraid he's plotting to kill you."

Chun'e's smile vanished.

"what do you mean……"

"If he argued with you before agreeing, then he would have shown some sincerity. The problem now is that he agreed too readily, which makes it seem off. If you were in his shoes, would you be willing to hand over your hard-earned business to someone else?"

“I am his lawfully wedded wife. He is willing to register these properties under the name of a mistress, so why can't they be registered under my name? I have never said I wanted a divorce.”

"If he truly valued you, he would have registered the assets in your name from the beginning. The fact that he'd rather register them under a mistress's name than yours speaks volumes. Do you really expect a man like that to have a conscience?"

"He really wants to kill me?" Chun'e lowered her eyes. "What should I do?"

"I heard that Mingye Hall also takes murder cases."

“You mean you want me to…” Chun’e was shocked.

"What are you thinking? What I mean is, if they take murder cases, they should be able to take protection cases too, right? If we let Mingyedang handle the follow-up of this matter, it might save us a lot of trouble."

"You're right, I'll listen to you." Chun'e had lost her own opinion and only knew that Su Yaoguang made sense. Listening to her was better than listening to that scoundrel.

Su Yaoguang called out to Zhou Wangshu, who then pushed open the door and came in.

"Wang Shu, please help us contact Mingye Hall!"

“I heard that just now. Don’t worry, leave this to me. It’s not safe for a woman to deal with those people; it’s better if I handle it.”

"Then thank you very much, Brother Wangshu." Chun'e whispered in Su Yaoguang's ear, "Having a man step in certainly gives me more confidence and makes me feel more at ease."

"Sister Chun'e, I don't like hearing you say that. I'm much better than most men. I might not be as good as ten, but I could easily be as good as three, right?"

"Yes, you're worth three people, and with your Wangshu added to the mix, wouldn't you be even more confident?"
