Deng Yun nodded and raised his hand to touch the scabbed wound on his face.
Fortunately, she learned some medical skills from the lame doctor in Xiaotong's village. After waking up, she convalesced in the mountains for a while, picking fruits to eat when she was hungry, and drinking from mountain springs when she was thirsty.
I finally recovered from my injuries, but I didn't dare to go back to the village.
She didn't even know who wanted to harm her. If word spread when she returned to the village, she would not have a second life.
After careful consideration, Deng Yun decided to go to Beijing.
Everything that went wrong started after Zhou Shui went to Beijing to take the exam. She must find out who was harming her here.
Because, on that day, Zhou's mother was the only one who knew that she would enter the city through that small road. Although there was no definite evidence, Deng Yun felt a knot in his heart.
When Sun Lei heard Deng Yun's guess, there was a hint of disbelief on his face, "You mean, it's your mother-in-law..."
"I'm not sure, but I have to find out the truth, otherwise I will live in fear for the rest of my life."
Deng Yun's eyes were full of perseverance.
On the way to the capital, Deng Yun had almost suffered all the hardships in the world. She was a woman, and she was alone at this time. She had nothing to fear, she just wanted to seek justice for herself.
If it is really Zhou’s mother’s handiwork, why?
After Deng Yun got married to Zhou Shui, she had been working hard to take care of the family business and took great care of Zhou's mother. She thought she had never offended her in any way.
When Zhou Shui went to Beijing to take the exam, Deng Yun sold the dowry given to her by her mother's family and the family's cows. She also left early and returned late every day, just to make Zhou Shui less miserable on the road.
To the Zhou family, she did her best and was kind and righteous.
Sun Lei looked at Deng Yun's appearance and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"So Brother Sun, thank you and Sister Yun for your help. If I, Deng Yun, are still alive after understanding this matter, I will definitely repay you!"
Deng Yun looked at Sun Lei and repeated what he just said.
Only then did Sun Lei hear the will to die in Deng Yun's words, and he was suddenly shocked, "Xiao Yun, don't do anything stupid."
"Brother Sun, it's not that I, Deng Yun, wants to die, but the person behind the scenes wants me to die. Don't worry, I'll work for a while and I'll leave after I earn enough money to live comfortably. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will hurt you and Yun
Sister." Although Deng Yun grew up in the village, he is very smart. In addition, he has heard a lot and seen a lot along the way.
She, Deng Yun, has the best temper in the world. She has never had any grudges with anyone. Even if there were some things she didn't mean to her, it would not cost her Deng Yun's life.
After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that Zhou Shui despised her as a rural wife when he became a high official, or even a member of the royal family, and desperately wanted to get rid of this stain on her.
But after asking around, she found out that last year's top scholar was named Ning, had neither father nor mother, and lived in Ningjia Village on the outskirts of the capital. He was not Zhou Shui at all.
The second-place finisher and the third overall pick are even more incompatible in age, and they already have wives at home.
It was as if the surrounding water had evaporated.
Sun Lei opened his mouth after listening to Deng Yun's firm words. He wanted to tell Deng Yun about Yun Yi's acquaintance with the fourth and ninth princesses of the royal family, but he was afraid that Deng Yun wouldn't believe it. After thinking about it, he decided to go home.
Discuss this matter with Yunyi and ask Yunyi to persuade Deng Yun.
"By the way, Brother Sun, I'd like to trouble you to tell the shopkeeper later. After finishing the work, I want to go out and just return this scrap of money to Brother Li."
"Okay, go ahead."
Sun Lei also heard about Li Shuxin giving Deng Yun money, and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Brother Sun."
Deng Yun thanked him.
"There's no need for you to be polite to us, come and eat quickly." Sun Lei looked at Deng Yun who had only eaten a few bites of the meal and said.
Deng Yun responded, picked up the bowl and started to cook the rice, a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't find it. I'm afraid Xiaoyun has it with her. Next time I write to Miss Fourth and ask Xiaoyun to go to the gentleman who wrote the letter to make a copy."
Yunyi went into the house and searched for a while, but couldn't find it, so he returned to his position.
Su Jiu is still struggling with nuts.
Su Jingqin had not eaten breakfast. The more she ate melon seeds, the hungrier she became. She touched her shriveled belly and said, "Yun Yi! It's okay to look at the portrait later, but if I don't eat at this time, I will be hungry."
Dead."
Only then did Yun Yi realize that it was already past the meal time, so he stood up hurriedly, "Oh, I was so happy to see the two young ladies and the young master that I forgot about it.
"You two ladies, please wait, I'll go cook right away."
With that said, Yun Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the yard.
Su Jingqin was a little surprised when she saw Yun Yi's posture, "Yun Yi, what are you doing?"
The chickens that were walking leisurely in the yard seemed to smell something dangerous and immediately ran away.
Yun Yi didn't stop, "Let's catch chickens. The two ladies are here today. There is nothing to entertain at home. But this hen is very well raised. The chicken soup stewed is very delicious. The two ladies will definitely try it later."
One taste.”
"Don't bother me. Yunyi, you're not feeling well, so don't..."
Su Jingqin's words suddenly stopped.
I saw Yun Yi in the yard quickly picking up an old hen by its neck. Before even hearing any sound, the old hen's neck clicked and stopped moving.
"..."
All right.
It was she who interrupted.
Su Jiu was also startled by Yun Yi's crispness. She couldn't control the strength of her hand well and only heard a 'Gaba' sound.
Before Su Jiu could even react, she felt a pain in her cheek and screamed.
Tears suddenly burst out of her almond eyes.
"Woo..."
Su Jiu covered her cheeks with her hands and bent down.
Su Jingqin and Jing Yi beside her suddenly panicked.
"Jiu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Su Jingqin dropped the melon seeds in her hand and hurriedly came to the villain.
Su Jiu waited for a while before she recovered. She felt the foreign object in her mouth and subconsciously vomited it out.
A bloody tooth rolled to the ground.
Su Jiu stared blankly at the teeth on the ground, was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into tears.
"Oooh! Fourth sister, Jiu'er's teeth are gone!"
The cry of the villain is so miserable.
Su Jingqin wanted to laugh, but didn't dare, so she could only hug the little man and comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay. I just lost a tooth. My fourth sister also lost one when she was a child."
Jing Yi looked at the teeth rolling down on the ground, then at the wailing little man, bent down to pick up the dusty little teeth, wiped them clean, and put them back in Su Jiu's hand.
Su Jiu cried louder.
Su Jingqin wanted to laugh even more.
"Jiu'er, be good, don't cry, let Fourth Sister see where the tooth is missing."
Su Jingqin pinched the villain's chin.
Su Jiu stopped crying immediately, raised her little head in cooperation, and opened her mouth.
