Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Ruxue brought over the ointment, and He Qinglian was about to reach out to take it when she was stopped. "Sit still!"

"Miss, you mustn't! You absolutely mustn't!"

"I'm here today, so I'll take care of it for you. You can apply it yourself afterwards."

Are you still feeling dizzy or in pain?

"Sometimes my head hurts when I move it too much, or when I walk too fast or with heavy steps, but I don't get dizzy."

"Yes, get some rest. You need to be healthy so you can help me with my work."

"Can you read?"

"Illiterate."

"I will teach you to read and write, do accounting, and do business."

He Qinglian was so shocked her jaw almost dropped. "Miss, you mustn't! How can a maid like me learn these things?"

"Don't you want to help me?"

"Yes, I want to!"

"I will study hard from now on."

"Okay, I will definitely study hard and help you earn lots and lots of money."

"Miss, I have a favor to ask."

"explain."

"Miss, could you please change my name? I don't want to be called He Qinglian anymore. This name makes me feel uncomfortable; it reminds me of many bad things."

"Do you have a name you like?"

"No, miss, could you get me one?"

"I'm not good at naming things either, so don't blame me if it doesn't sound good."

"I like anything that Miss named."

Liu Ruxue scratched her head, wondering what name to choose. She went through the names of her family members and servants in her mind, "How about 'Relax'? What do you think of that name? Do you like it?"

"Miss, what's the name 'Relaxed'?" I don't really know, but I like it very much.

"All the maids in our household who are skilled in martial arts have names that start with the character 'light,' so I named you 'Qingsong' (meaning 'light and relaxed'), hoping that you will live a carefree and easy life in the future, without so many worries."

"But Miss, I don't know kung fu."

"It's okay if you don't know how. Once you're better, you can practice the basics with me. You can handle two or three ordinary men."

"Wow~ Miss is so amazing! I will definitely learn from you and protect you in the future."

"Alright, you should get some rest."

Liu Ruxue was still thinking about her business, where to start and what kind of business to do. She had the experience and capital to start, but she hadn't decided what to do yet. She needed to think about it carefully during this time.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will start my own business, carve out my own niche, and realize my dream of wealth.

If I take He Qinglian back, I wonder if Siyue will blame me. She probably won't. Siyue is such a magnanimous and insightful person. She should have even more pity for women who have had similar experiences to her.

Why isn't that scumbag Lu Yunzhou dead yet? He's still alive and causing trouble for people. God is really blind. Why doesn't He send down a bolt of lightning to kill him?

As Lu Yunzhou and his group left the inn and boarded the carriage, Doctor Yang immediately called for a halt. "Stop, stop, stop! Not everyone's here yet! Lu Tongsheng, why hasn't your wife, Madam He, gotten off? Hurry up and urge her."

"Dr. Yang, don't worry about him, let's go. She can't go back."

"Lu Yunping, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean she can't go back?"

Lu Yunping ignored him and told the driver to hurry up and drive the carriage.

Doctor Yang grew anxious; he had a bad feeling that something had probably happened to Madam He. "Lu Tongsheng, say something!"

"Dr. Yang, this is my family matter. He is my daughter-in-law. Where she goes is none of your business. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something between you and her?"

"What could possibly happen to me? We all came out together, but one of us was missing when we returned. What am I supposed to say when the villagers ask?"

"Is Dr. Yang worried about this? There's absolutely no need for that. If the villagers ask you, just say you don't know. If anyone wants to know, let them come and ask me."

"Don't worry, Dr. Yang, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny. I'll settle the money with you when we get to the village. Dr. Yang, you must keep your mouth shut; you can't let Master Zhikong's words slip out."

Dr. Yang had a dark expression and didn't want to say a word. Lu Yunzhou started coughing violently. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and when he took his hand away, he found a pool of blood in his palm. His face turned pale, and he coughed even more violently. He collapsed in the carriage, his hand twitching.

Lu Yunping quickly helped the craftsman up, "Dr. Yang, quickly give him acupuncture, he's coughing to death."

Doctor Yang slowly took out a silver needle and gave him a prick, saying, "This will teach you to be a good person!"

When the carriage arrived in the county town, Lu Yunzhou was still unconscious. Lu Yunping carried him on his back, and with the hot weather and his own frustration, he asked, "Doctor Yang, could you please wake him up?"

"No, he's having a relapse. He needs to wake up on his own. He vomited blood today. I suggest we take him to the clinic once he wakes up."

"No need to go. What's the point of spending the money? It's a waste of time. Just go home."

They took a carriage back to town. As soon as they got in, Lu Yunzhou woke up and spat out blood again, which landed on a woman opposite him, causing her to scream in terror.

The driver quickly checked and found that the woman's face was deathly pale and her clothes were stained with a lot of blood. Then he saw the bloodstains on Lu Yunzhou's lips and the bloodstains in the carriage. The driver immediately became angry, "You scared my guest and made a mess of the carriage. I can't make this trip. You have to compensate this girl, and my carriage has to be cleaned. You have to pay for all of this."

Lu Yunping had no intention of paying compensation. "It's just a little blood on your clothes. You can wash them when you get home. As for the carriage, I'll clean it for you right now. You don't need to pay compensation."

"Young lady, do you want to pay for your clothes? If so, I'll get them back for you. If not, you can take another carriage or mule cart first."

Before the woman could speak, her maidservant spoke up, "Compensation, of course we have to compensate. Not only do we have to compensate for the money for the clothes, but our young lady was also frightened, so we also have to compensate for the cost of calming her down and for the fright."

This outfit is brand new, cost five taels of silver, made at the Zhiyun Cloth Shop. You can go and ask if you don't believe me. Finally, give me five taels of silver as a 'calm-soothing fee' and 'frightening fee,' otherwise this isn't over today.

"You're robbing me! What can you do if I don't give it to you?"

Lu Yunzhou interrupted Lu Yunping, "Brother, stop talking."

Miss, my brother is a rough man and his words may be unpleasant to hear. Please forgive him. I apologize again. I will compensate you for the 5 taels of silver for the clothes and give you an additional 1 tael of silver as a token of my remorse. Is that acceptable?

"I'm in poor health, and I've spent all my money on medical treatment. This is all I have left."

"Alright, I'll take the money for the clothes, but the rest is fine."

"Pearl, let's go."

Pearl walked up to Lu Yunzhou and said, "Bad luck!"

He quickly followed his young mistress and headed out onto the street.

The driver began to calculate the bill for them: "I've missed my turn this time, so I'll have to wait for the next one. I can earn 240 coins for this round trip, 500 coins for washing the carriage, and 290 coins for labor."

Lu Yunping wanted to argue, but Lu Yunzhou directly gave him the money, "I'll charter your car, 120 coins to town, and you can wash it for 200 coins, so it won't interfere with your business."

"Okay, then let's hurry up and get going. You guys are all ready, I need to run fast and squeeze in some time to wash the car."

The driver sped the carriage along the road, making Lu Yunzhou and the others feel dizzy and disoriented, almost vomiting bile. Finally, they arrived in town, and Lu Yunzhou got off the carriage and immediately fainted.

Lu Yunping paid the fare, turned his back, and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, they ripped me off!"

Doctor Yang felt like his buttocks weren't even his own anymore, it hurt so much he didn't dare touch them. He woke Lu Yunzhou up with a needle, and the three of them finally got on the oxcart back to the village. On the cart, they were questioned by the villagers again, and they ended up asking about He Qinglian.
