Chapter 164: Ouyang Zishi in Difficult Situation (Part 2)
In terms of prestige, the third lady, the Duanmu family, is far superior to the fifth lady, the Chen family. In the Ouyang family, the concubines and ladies feared the three principal wives far more than the fifth lady, a villain.
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes that the fifth lady, Chen, was slapped hard, and that the third lady, Duanmu, was obviously not here to punish her, she would have been so silent and frightened that she would have hid as far away as possible.
"Madam, go ahead. This medicine looks good."
Yang Ji said from the side.
He shook his head secretly in his heart. He didn't realize it when he came into contact with the third lady Duanmu. At this time, looking at Ouyang Zushi's mother's reaction, he realized how fierce the third lady's reputation was.
Ouyang Zushi's mother was obviously scared to death, even more so than the fifth lady.
But fortunately, the third lady should be enemies rather than friends now. Ouyang Zishi, mother and son at least don't have to worry about this.
"Take it, do you have to make me angry?"
The third lady Duanmu said.
Only then did Ouyang Zishi's mother take the bottle of red medicine from the third lady: "Thank you, madam."
"Ms. Chen has gone too far this time. Don't worry, you can leave here after your child recovers from his injuries. I will arrange another accommodation for you. In addition, your son Ouyang Zishi's treatment will also be restored.
It’s normal, at least there won’t be any deductions.”
"However, the rest depends on whether he can live up to the expectations. The family has its own rules, and even I can't interfere with these regulations set by the ancestors. If he wants to obtain a lot of the family's resources, he has to fight for them himself.
"
The third lady Duanmu said.
This woman posed no threat to her. For some reason, seeing her taking care of the children, the third lady thought of herself, and her heart softened, and she felt somewhat fond of her.
"Thank you ma'am."
Ouyang Zushi's mother burst into tears of gratitude.
The third lady's openness is more valuable than what she promised. At least, no one in the aristocratic family will dare to bully them anymore.
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Mr. Yang."
The third lady looked at Yang Jidao.
Yang Ji saved the Zifu. She can be regarded as taking revenge. To be honest, the situation of Huang's mother and son is really pitiful.
"Thank you, sir."
Ouyang Zushi's mother told Yang Jidao again.
"Auntie, you don't have to be polite. Zishi and I are from the same family. This is also a matter of responsibility."
Yang Ji smiled.
In order to let Ouyang Zishi's mother and the third wife meet each other, he worked hard. With this "one-time relationship", Ouyang Zishi's mother and son can feel at ease in the future.
The third lady, Duanmu, didn't linger in the room for too long, and the place was too dirty. After chatting with the sixth lady, Duanmu left with the others.
Yang Ji did not leave with her with the ghost alchemist, but stayed in the room.
Ouyang Zishi's body has not recovered yet, so Yang Ji can help him clear his meridians to speed up his recovery.
…
"Senior brother..."
Ouyang Zushi did not keep Yang Ji and Yang Ji waiting for long. Three days later, in a daze, Ouyang Zushi finally opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ji in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
He only remembered that he was injured and nothing else.
"Senior brother, you, why are you here..."
Ouyang Zishi struggled to stand up and took a clear look at his surroundings, with a look of confusion on his face.
The Ouyang family did not allow outsiders to come in easily. Although he also thought about inviting Yang Ji in, he gave up in the end. Looking at the scene in front of him, he could not figure out how Yang Ji could come back in.
"Zishi, don't move."
When Ouyang Zushi's mother saw him getting up, she quickly ran over and supported him from behind:
"This is your Senior Brother Yang. It's thanks to you that Master Yang saved you this time. If it weren't for him, mother, I really don't know what would have happened."
Speaking of the latter part, Ouyang Zishi's mother became excited again and her voice was choked with sobs.
Ouyang Zushi comforted his mother and asked for a while before he found out what happened.
"Senior Brother Yang, I'm troubling you again this time."
Ouyang Zushi raised his head, sat on the bed and said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Just wake up. How do you feel now?"
Yang Ji held a cup of tea and said gratefully.
The room has been cleaned by the servants sent by the third wife. It is much cleaner now. It has also become livable. There is no longer the stinky smell before, but there is a faint fragrance.
Those were some pots of flowers sent by the third lady.
"Much better. Just still a little weak."
Ouyang Zishi said.
Yang Ji nodded, not surprised. Ouyang Zizhi had been ill for so long, so it was strange that he could recover so quickly. Things like physical strength are not something that can be recovered so easily.
"Ghost Alchemist."
Yang Ji looked back.
The ghost alchemist understood, walked to the bed, handed over a few round, finger-sized elixirs, and said:
"There are six pills here, two pills every morning and evening. After three days, you will be back to your original state."
Ouyang Zushi quickly thanked him.
The ghost alchemist didn't say much. After explaining this, he retreated to Yang Ji.
"I made a mistake this time. If I had come to see you earlier, I probably wouldn't have been like this."
Yang Ji looked at Ouyang Zushi and sighed.
"Senior brother, don't say that. It's because I don't live up to my expectations and my skills are not up to par with others. I can't blame others."
Ouyang Zishi said, looking remorseful.
In this martial arts competition, not only did he lose to Ouyang Hengqiu, but he also hurt his mother. Thinking of this, Ouyang Zushi blamed himself in his heart.
"Don't say that. Your talent is not bad, you just lack a little luck and resources. It has nothing to do with inferior skills."
Yang Ji paused and said:
"After the injury is healed this time, have you thought about what to do in the future?"
The question made Ouyang Zushi fall silent. Ouyang Hengqiu's strength was far different from his, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured like this. But if he had to swallow this breath like this, he felt a little unwilling.
"Zishi, forget it. You are no match for him. Let's keep our heads down and be patient. Give in to him when we encounter him in the future, okay? Zishi, promise mother, you won't fight with him again in the future."
On the side, Mrs. Six, Ouyang Zishi’s mother, suddenly said. Her face was miserable, and she was about to shed tears.
During this period of time, she was really worried. She almost thought that Ouyang Zushi would never wake up again. She really didn't want to experience such days again.
"Mom, you don't know. It's not that I want to provoke him. It's that he refuses to let me go."
After hearing his mother's words, Ouyang Zushi felt angry again:
"Once, twice..., a hundred times. Every time I give in, he will only push forward. This kind of person will never give up if you can't give him a hard blow."
"Yang Ji, and Madam. I didn't say that..."
The Ghost Alchemist lowered his head and suddenly said:
"I also know a little about the family affairs. The third lady has great power, but just like the fifth lady does not dare to be cruel to you, the fifth lady. The third lady cannot be cruel to the fifth lady. With her temperament, on the surface,
I am convinced, but after suffering a loss this time, I will never be convinced. I am worried that she will vent her anger on you privately and think of ways to be cruel to you!"
The ghost alchemist looked thoughtful. Jiang was old and spicy. His martial arts might not be as good as Yang Ji's, and he couldn't make a pure demon-killing elixir. But after decades of working in Zhou Mansion, he knew all aspects clearly.
, in terms of experience, he is much more powerful than anyone present.
The expression on the fifth lady Chen's face before she left didn't look like she was convinced.
"...Furthermore, the fifth lady is the fifth lady, and her son Ouyang Hengqiu is Ouyang Hengqiu. Mr. Zushi was injured in a martial arts competition. No one can say anything about this. I am worried that after this, that Hengqiu will
Mr. Qiu will deal with Mr. Zishi even harder."
The Ghost Alchemist's words caused the Sixth Madam Huang's face to change drastically. With a cry, the blood on her face completely faded and turned extremely white. Her ten fingers unconsciously clenched and turned green.
Trembling with excitement.
"What can we do, what can we do..."
Mrs. Huang, the sixth lady, looked flustered. She was at a loss as to what to do and her mind was at a loss.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll be fine. I will never lose to him again!"
Ouyang Zushi held her mother's hands, feeling distressed in her heart.
"Madam, junior brother, don't worry. This matter is far from that complicated."
Yang Ji looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed. What the ghost alchemist said may be reasonable, but how could he not have thought about it. If he didn't solve this matter, how could he leave with peace of mind.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Ji simply expressed his thoughts:
"Junior brother, during this period of time, you have said to the outside world that your health is not good yet and that you are still recuperating. No matter how powerful Ouyang Hengqiu is, there is no way he can find excuses to deal with you at this time."
"I have a spiritual talisman here, take it and refine it. First break through to the sixth level of martial arts general level."
Yang Ji turned his hand and took out something as red as snowdrops from the Naji bottle.
"Sunfire Talisman!"
Ouyang Zushi's whole body was shocked, and his eyes were filled with deep shock. In just a moment, Ouyang Zushi's eyes became hot.
The Yang Fire Talisman can greatly shorten the time from Xiao Zhoutian, the fifth level of martial arts, to the general level of the sixth level of martial arts.
In aristocratic families, almost every outstanding disciple will receive a reward from the family. Ouyang Zizhen was not so lucky and was demoted to Langya County, never having any chance with such things.
But soon, Ouyang Zushi shook his head:
"Senior Brother Yang, forget it. I can't take your thing. You also spent a lot of effort to get this Yanghuo Talisman from the martial arts examination. I can't take it!"
"You think too much."
Yang Ji laughed. Ouyang Zushi actually thought that this was the reward for winning the top scholar in the martial arts examination. Yang Ji had revealed once before that this Yang Fire Talisman was placed in his Dantian.
"If you look at this again, does it look like a reward for the martial arts examination?"
Yang Ji turned his palm, and another bright red light lit up in his palm. In the blink of an eye, next to the first red Yang Fire Talisman, there was a second Yang Fire Talisman.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Ouyang Zushi was also stunned. Only one Yanghuo Talisman was awarded in the martial arts examination, and this second one did not look like one awarded in the martial arts examination. (To be continued)
