Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 364 - 345: Since You All Want to Live, I’ll Give You a Way Out (6)

Cui Zhu smiled, "Our lady truly excels in business. If someday she entertains such thoughts, I will certainly recommend you." Liu Shu was overjoyed and held her hand tightly, his gaze warm and gentle.

In the narrow space, their gazes burned fervently, an emotion belonging solely to them, seemingly spreading gradually within their chests.

Two days later, after listening to Shaoxi, Ruan Mian went to the epidemic area to find Cui Zhu.

By then, her condition had improved somewhat, but Cui Zhu, fearing they would worry, had not told them that Liu Shu was taking care of her there.

Yet she knew in her heart that Ruan Mian was very worried about her and was immensely grateful.

"Miss, the medicine I drink and the food I eat every day are just like those of the other patients in the epidemic area. Now that I’m gradually recovering, it proves that your medical skills truly can change the course of events."

"Besides, staying here, I can manage and take care of those patients for you. If there’s any abnormality in the illness, I will inform you at the earliest possible time!"

"So rest assured, Miss, I’m fine."

Seeing that her condition indeed was getting better, the weight on Ruan Mian’s heart finally lifted.

She personally gave Cui Zhu some medicine, instructing her on how to take it.

"Take good care of yourself, and don’t try to overdo anything, understand?"

Seeing Cui Zhu nod heavily, Ruan Mian finally left at ease.

But as she was exiting the epidemic area, she saw Liu Shu sitting by the stove, helping others brew medicinal soup.

It was rare to see him not afraid of the risks and willing to help out here.

Meanwhile, Qin Fu, a hundred miles away, was looking at a letter sent by Wuheng.

With his hands behind his back, he had the servant bring Wen Qiang over. As soon as she entered the room, he asked her seriously.

"Qiang’er, you previously mentioned having a grudge against the Ruan Family, but when you went to Wuheng, you didn’t achieve your goals. Was it because Ruan Mian blocked you?"

"Do you know her?"

Wen Qiang’s brows furrowed tightly. She indeed hadn’t expected the second daughter of the Ruan Family to possess such skill.

Speaking with hatred on her face, she said, "Uncle, that second lady of the Ruan Family, Ruan Mian, is nothing but a conniving woman!"

"Initially, she married into the Qi Family, showed no filial piety to her in-laws, bore no children, and even broke off with her husband’s family. Who knows how many people defiled her during exile! Yet she came out unscathed, so clearly, she must have..."

Before she could finish, Qin Fu’s face changed, interrupting her with displeasure, "I’m not interested in these things about her!"

Startled, Wen Qiang was taken aback as Qin Fu continued, "Previously, about the firearms in her hands, did you gather any information when you went to Wuheng? And this time with the Wuheng flood, she set up a disaster area on Longchang Mountain, not only treating illnesses but also growing enough grains initially. Didn’t you hear about any of these?"

"And that Jinsha Village, built as she led refugees deep into the mountains during the snow disaster with such determination, is a truly remarkable woman. How come I’m only finding out about her now?"

Qin Fu furrowed his brows, his expression becoming heavy.

"No wonder the Fifth Princess sent a letter from afar recently, instructing me to act against her. Anyone who could make a princess wary is surely not a simple person."

Having said that, he looked at Wen Qiang with disdain and sighed.

"Qiang’er, I’m not counting on you to help me achieve anything in Wuheng. But you couldn’t even settle your personal grievances, you... still need to broaden your vision and measure up to Ruan Mian."

"Both being women, she can accomplish so many astounding feats single-handedly, while you’re only concerned with minor familial interests right in front of you." Seeing Wen Qiang’s face gradually turn pale, Qin Fu waved his hand.

"Enough, you grew up under your father’s protection, I don’t expect you to be of any use. For your father’s sake, I’ll spare your life. Just live peacefully in my residence from now on. Don’t think about anything else."

Not waiting for Wen Qiang to speak, Qin Fu decisively sent her out and called in another confidant.

"Find some time to go to Wuheng and tell Liu Shu that there will be a relief envoy visiting Wuheng in the future. He must establish a good relationship with the envoy and follow orders as necessary. The envoy was personally assigned by the Princess."

The subordinate was slightly surprised and wondered, "Sir, why does the Princess bother going through so much trouble to deal with the Ruan Family Lady? If we want to deal with her, couldn’t we just take her life?"

Qin Fu snorted, "What do you understand?"

"If it were so easy to kill her directly, would the Fifth Princess need to go to such lengths? This woman surely harbors unspeakable secrets, like that of the firearms."
