FID – Chapter 641

Chapter 641: You-You hit a woman?

Liu Zhiqiu glared at the two people who were playing along with each other, then shrugged, resigned, and stood up, flipping over the wall.

Still putting on that act in front of him.

Since he promised to look after Liu Muqiu, how could he go back on his word?

The walls of the Liu family’s courtyard were high, and those standing below wouldn’t notice someone standing atop unless they looked up.

Liu Muqiu led Kang Ziyu outside, and not far from the corner of the courtyard, by the garden gate, they stopped.

Turning back, she looked at the other woman and asked, “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Kang Ziyu scrutinized her, scanning her from top to bottom several times before scoffing, “You changed your identity, and things have improved, haven’t they? You used to look so thin and weak, but now, living in the Liu family, you’re getting more and more vibrant.”

Such words were disgusting enough to make one break out in goosebumps. Liu Muqiu frowned and cautiously took a step back, “What exactly do you want?”

“What are you afraid of? Am I going to kill you?” Kang Ziyu sneered. “In this courtyard, there is a General’s daughter, a son of great wealth, and a famous King. I, Kang Ziyu, am just the daughter of a small county magistrate. What could I possibly do to you?”

As she spoke, Kang Ziyu paced around Liu Muqiu, her eyes seething with waves of jealousy.

Liu Muqiu wasn’t dressed in luxury. The people in the Liu family courtyard had money, but they weren’t ostentatious. Their daily clothes and food weren’t much different from the villagers’. They cared more about comfort than the quality of fabric.

But Liu Muqiu, now here, looked completely different from the person she was in the Li family.

Gone was the cautiousness, and the once timid and humble expression had vanished. It was as if she had completely transformed into a new person.

From her current appearance, it was clear that she was living comfortably in the Liu family courtyard.

“You’re living well now, aren’t you?” Kang Ziyu sneered. “Do you know what kind of life I’ve been living? My reputation is ruined, and the man I was forced to marry is a fake gentleman. I went back to my parents for help, but they ignored me!” 

She had been tormented in the Jiang family. On the third day after their wedding, the man dared to lay hands on her, even calling her a slut! 

She rolled up her sleeves and revealed the scars on her arms.“These, all of them, were left by the Jiang family! They are all animals!”

Liu Muqiu looked at the silver-white scars on Kang Ziyu’s hands left after the scabs fell off, but pursed her lips without saying a word.

No wonder Kang Ziyu has become like this. She no longer carried the aura of a young girl. With the deepening twilight, she looked like a middle-aged woman.

The change was immense.

Without the protection of her parents, even her husband’s family didn’t treat her with respect.

But Liu Muqiu didn’t feel any sympathy.

“What, are you scared? Are you too afraid to speak now? This is all your own doing!” Kang Ziyu’s eyes turned bloodshot, glaring at Liu Muqiu.

“You’re wrong,” Liu Muqiu raised her eyes, meeting her venomous gaze without flinching. “The reason you ended up like this has nothing to do with anyone else but you. It’s your own doing. I’ve warned you several times to change your attitude. With the way you act and speak, no one will tolerate you except your parents. One day, you’ll suffer for it. This is something you brought upon yourself.”

“You’re talking nonsense! What’s wrong with the way I act and speak? What’s wrong with being straightforward? Should I be like you, always weak and soft, speaking in circles, trying to please people just to get by? I’m Kang Ziyu! I’m the daughter of the county magistrate! I don’t need to flatter anyone!”

“If you called me out just to say these things, I can’t help you. You should go back,” Liu Muqiu paused and then spoke softly, “Master Kang and Madam Kang have always loved you since you were young. If you’ve done something wrong, apologize and admit your mistake to them. They will surely forgive you. With Master Kang around, the Jiang family will also take him into account. Take care of yourself.”

“Stop! I haven’t finished speaking!” Kang Ziyu coldly stopped her and moved closer to Liu Muqiu, giving a light laugh. “Who said you can’t help me? You can. You have plenty of influential people around you. Aren’t you good at persuading people? Just ask anyone for a favor, and they’ll help me get a divorce!”

“For this matter, all you need to do is ask Master Kang, and he’ll help you.”

“He won’t help me!” Kang Ziyu screamed, “He doesn’t even acknowledge me now. When we return to the county office, I’ll be treated just like the maids at home!”

“Have you asked?”

Kang Ziyu was rendered speechless.

Seeing this, Liu Muqiu realized that even in front of her parents, she had to maintain her pride, but that pride was almost laughable.

As she saw the woman about to turn and enter the estate, Kang Ziyu’s eyes turned venomous. “Li Junyue, if you don’t help me, don’t blame me for spilling your secret to the Li family! At that time, it won’t just be you, the entire Liu family won’t be able to live in peace!”

Liu Muqiu’s eyes narrowed, and she turned around, enraged. “Kang Ziyu!”

“You faked your death back then, didn’t you? To escape the Li family, you and Liu Zhiqiu, along with the Liu family, staged a play, and even I was tricked! You really have your ways, how did you get that fool, Liu Zhiqiu, to pull out fifty thousand taels of silver for you? Hahaha! The matriarch of the Li family isn’t someone to be trifled with. If she finds out about this, do you think that five thousand taels will be enough to fill her gap? By then, the Liu family courtyard will be in turmoil, and with such a big troublemaker at home, do you think the Liu family will still keep you?”

“Ugh! What a lunatic. Hey, do you have a hole in your brain? Go ahead, report to the Li family and see if they dare to come knocking!” A voice suddenly interjected from atop the wall. “Little White Lotus, go home, why waste time talking to this kind of person? The more you talk, the dumber you’ll get.”

Both women looked up at the figure sitting on the wall, and Liu Muqiu immediately smiled, her eyes curving. “Brother Zhiqiu, I’m going back now!”

She lifted her skirt and started running toward home.

“Li Junyue, stop right there!” Kang Ziyu immediately yanked her back. “Brother Zhiqiu? Are you two together now? You’ve really managed to climb high!”

Liu Muqiu was jerked back and nearly lost her balance, almost falling.

On the wall, Liu Zhiqiu’s eyes darkened. He jumped down and supported her. “Damn it, vicious dogs are really in charge! From now on, let’s raise a dog at home, and when a dog shows up, let them fight it out!”

“You call me a dog? Liu Zhiqiu, you really have fallen for this slut, haven’t you?”

“None of your business!”

Kang Ziyu’s face flushed red, then turned into a sinister sneer. “No wonder your parents rejected me when we came to propose. You’ve already been fond of this slut! What’s so good about her? Apart from her ability to sweet-talk, she has nothing! If she wasn’t fooling your family into supporting her like an idiot, she’d just be another worthless woman, trampled by men everywhere—”

” Slap!” The sharp sound of a slap cut off her insults.

The fiery sting on her cheek made Kang Ziyu tremble in disbelief, staring at Liu Zhiqiu.

Liu Muqiu peeked out from behind the man, looking at Kang Ziyu’s face quickly swelling up with redness. “…Brother Zhiqiu, you… you hit a woman?”

Liu Zhiqiu shrugged and raised an eyebrow. “No, I just hit a bitch.”
