Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 15

"You saw how heartless he is to Yanhua. You still want to marry Yanhua to him? Don't you think Yanhua's life is miserable enough?" Cai Zhonghe roared angrily.

Frustrated and irritable, Cai Bo'an paced back and forth, saying, "That's enough, stop talking."

Kiyoshi Tsuki simply sat down on the steps, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then fanned himself with it.

"Stop arguing! Quickly take Yanhua back to get her wounds treated!" Grandma Cai cried. "Husband, Yanhua is bleeding!"

Cai Bo'an pushed his wife aside and picked up Zhou Yanhua. The couple, one carrying the other and the other supporting her, headed straight down the mountain. Qing Jianyue let out a long sigh of relief, and Cai Zhonghe slowly walked over and sat down, imitating him.

"I'm so angry. My brother is just delusional. Lei Yongxiang is also infatuated with his crazy sister-in-law. Not only can my brother not persuade him, but he has also dragged Yanhua into the middle and caused her a lot of harm."

"How did Lei Yongqing die?" Qingjian Yue asked.

"That idiot, no need to say more. He was clever all his life, but in the end, he died at the hands of a woman," Cai Zhonghe said contemptuously.

“Continue,” Kiyomizuki said.

Cai Zhonghe wore a mysterious expression. "I'm sorry, Jian Yue. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's because of our agreement."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, and this time she did not press the matter further. "Miss Yang is ill, and Lei Yongxiang is also ill. And the Chief Enforcer is even more seriously ill."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

“Since you’re sick, you need to find out the root cause.” Kiyomi Tsuki’s eyes changed, becoming full of confidence and wisdom.

Cai Zhonghe looked at him in surprise.

"Although I'm a quack doctor, it doesn't matter. Now that I've found the root cause of the illness, as long as I treat the symptoms, there's no disease that can't be cured."

That faint smile gave Qingjian Yue's face an indescribable beauty. Cai Zhonghe's heart suddenly leaped, and his whole body felt like it was on fire. This sudden feeling startled Cai Zhonghe.

What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so strange?

"ah--"

Kiyoshi suddenly shouted, startling Cai Zhonghe so much that he trembled and fell to the ground.

"Fish. Fish. I threw the fish on the chair, and the fox must have eaten them all. Dead, dead. If the fox really ate them all without any sense of loyalty, I'll pluck all its fur."

Amidst shouts and cries, Kiyomi Tsuki sped down the mountain at breakneck speed, definitely faster than when she came.

Cai Zhonghe was furious. "Qing Jianyue, you heartless bastard!"

Chapter Eight: Prescribing the Right Medicine

About half an hour after lunch, the Qin Academy sent someone to invite Qing Jianyue. This time, Qing Jianyue didn't hesitate and went with them. Not long after, Steward Zhou and his son, along with Cai Bo'an and Cai Zhonghe, also came to the Qin Academy to visit. They found Lei Yongxiang sitting alone in the living room, looking sad and depressed.

"How is Miss Yang?" Cai Bo'an asked.

"Qing Jianyue is trying to calm her down and is treating her injuries," Lei Yongxiang said sullenly.

“Yanhua is also badly injured,” Cai Zhonghe said urgently. “Her arms, knees, and legs are all injured.”

Lei Yongxiang exclaimed in surprise, "Is it serious? Are the bones broken?"

"Fortunately, it's just a minor injury. With proper rest, it will be fine in a few days," Cai Bo'an said.

"I'm sorry." Lei Yongxiang felt deeply apologetic.

“No need for an apology.” Cai Bo’an sighed. “Yongxiang, are you really planning to live like this? You’re still young.”

"Brother Bo'an, please stop talking." Lei Yongxiang said, feeling agitated. "How can I be at ease with Xue Li in this state?"

“It is precisely because Miss Yang needs someone to take care of her that you should get married. What will outsiders think of you now? It’s ambiguous, which is not good for either you or Miss Yang.” Cai Bo’an advised, “If you marry Yan Hua, Yan Hua can take care of Miss Yang, and you can get some work done.”

Manager Zhou glanced at the silent Lei Yongxiang, then at Cai Zhonghe. Cai Zhonghe pursed his lips but remained silent. Manager Zhou's son, Zhou Jie, looked around, as if to say he was admiring the scenery inside and outside the living room.

Just then, the nanny walked into the living room with a smile, "Second Master."

Lei Yongxiang asked, "Nanny, how is Sherry?"

The nanny's old face blossomed into a radiant smile. "Second Master, don't worry, everything's fine. Young Master Jianyue really knows how to charm our young lady; he's got her completely under his thumb and makes her so happy."

Everyone listened with skepticism.

The wet nurse continued, "At first, I was worried that Young Master Jianyue was a lively and impatient person. But I was completely wrong. Young Master Jianyue is gentle and considerate. He takes very good care of our young lady, personally serving her bathing, washing, applying medicine, and changing her clothes. He even personally helped her put on her shoes and socks and fed her. He did everything he could. Oh my, even we were deeply moved."

She spoke happily, but it angered Lei Yongxiang to the point of turning pale. His expression changed, but Cai Bo'an and Cai Zhonghe changed even more drastically, their faces turning from red to white, then to bluish-green, and finally to black. The Zhou family, however, wore expressions of utter disbelief.

"Men and women should not touch each other. How can such immoral and immoral things happen?" Lei Yongxiang roared, clenching his fists. If Qing Jianyue were in front of him now, he would either punch her through the heart or make her bleed from all seven orifices.

As if anticipating Lei Yongxiang's anger, the wet nurse calmly said, "Second Master, this old servant knows you will be angry. But there's nothing I can do. The young lady won't allow anyone else to touch her; she only allows Young Master Jianyue to take care of her. In her heart, she treats Young Master Jianyue as her future son-in-law."

"Nonsense!" Lei Yongxiang could no longer contain the surging anger in his heart. He strode forward and shouted, "Kiyomi Tsuki, get out here! Kiyomi Tsuki!"

Cai Bo'an, Cai Zhonghe, and Zhou Peng, father and son, were terrified. The four of them rushed over and desperately grabbed him. But Qing Jianyue, oblivious to the danger, appeared at this moment, laughing and saying, "Who called me? I'm here."

Cai Zhonghe was so shocked he almost jumped out of his skin. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Jianyue, let's go!"

Lei Yongxiang suddenly broke free from them and took a step forward. Qing Jianyue bumped into him and cried out in fright, "My father!" He turned to run away, but Lei Yongxiang grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"I kill you."

"You can't kill me. I still owe the lord 100,000 taels of gold." This means that if you kill me, I won't be able to repay the debt, and you will have to pay it back.

"You brat, what makes you so great? You useless coward. I'm going to kill you today."

"Great Enforcer, save me! If I die, you won't be able to report back to the Lord of the Fortress. Handsome brother, please save me! He's about to strangle me! Steward Zhou, Steward Zhou... Brother Zhou..."
