Then didn't that mean that Jiujiu had enough ability to protect herself? If he was together with Jiujiu, then he wouldn't need to worry about Jiujiu's safety. Thinking of this, Lin Zeyu's mind became clear.
It was still early today after leaving the bottom of the cliff, so Jiujiu wasn't in a hurry to go back. She turned around and went to the county to buy some things to reward the old housekeeper and Xiao Cui who had helped to look after the Li household and the shop.
The moment Jiujiu left the cliff, a woman climbed down from the tree.
This woman was Li Ruyi.
Four years ago, after Manager Li was fired by Jiujiu for being greedy, he quickly left the capital and went to a small town not far from the capital.
Manager Li thought that he would be able to find a job quickly with his ability. However, he didn't expect that although Jiujiu didn't announce his embezzlement of the Li family's money, there were many managers who went that day. Naturally, there were some who had a long tongue. His embezzlement of the Li family's money naturally became a joke and was revealed by others. Therefore, even if he repeatedly lowered his salary, no one was willing to hire him.
Manager Li was helpless and could only continue to walk away from the capital.
The family walked all the way to Han City, which was a hundred li away from the capital, before Manager Li found a manager's job.
However, the accident happened so suddenly.
On the second day that Manager Li became the manager of the shop, the shop was robbed. All the jewelry in the shop was stolen, not even a single pearl was left.
Manager Li had just taken over the shop when this mistake occurred. The person who hired Manager Li naturally reported Manager Li to the yamen.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Manager Li. However, it was unknown who said that Manager Li had once embezzled the Li family's money.
As the saying goes, a straight man is afraid of a crooked shadow.
Even if Manager Li had nothing to do with this robbery, he had a criminal record. If he could embezzle the Li family's money once, then he could do it a second time.
Who knew if he was in cahoots with the robbers who stole the shop.
Because of Manager Li's past, Manager Li couldn't explain himself. Not only did he have to pay for most of the loss of the shop, he was also beaten with a plank.
Manager Li's body was originally weak. After being beaten, he developed a fever. However, the problem was that all his money was used to pay for the loss of the shop owner.
Because they didn't have money to hire a doctor, Manager Li's wife could only use the simplest method to lower Manager Li's temperature. However, Manager Li's body was weak to begin with. Now that he was injured and all his money was taken away, he was depressed in his heart. After a few days, he breathed his last.
After Manager Li's death, his wife and Li's wife had no other choice but to hurriedly bury him...
In order to survive, Manager Li ''s wife's wife....
She and Li Ruyi stayed there for four years. After she arranged a marriage for Li Ruyi some time ago, Li Ruyi rushed back.
Actually, the young master that Manager Li's wife had arranged for Li Ruyi was a good person. Although he wasn't a person of high status, his family had more than ten shops and was quite wealthy. Moreover, he had his eyes set on Li Ruyi. If she really married him, Li Ruyi's life would be exceptionally good.
Moreover, if this young master didn't have his eyes set on Li Ruyi, his family wouldn't be willing to let him marry a girl like Li Ruyi.
To be honest, Li Ruyi wasn't worthy of this young master at all.
This young master's family thought that marrying Li Ruyi was already giving Li Ruyi enough face, but they didn't expect that Li Ruyi didn't even fancy their child. In the blink of an eye, Li Ruyi directly ran away from the marriage.
When Li Ruyi was young, Manager Li's wife had instilled the idea that if she wanted to marry, she should marry into an influential family. Even if her family had fallen to this point, she still didn't forget her original idea.
Li Ruyi ran all the way from Seoul to the capital.
Yesterday, she accidentally came here. No matter how she walked, she couldn't get in, so Li Ruyi kept an eye on it.
After seeing Jiujiu come out from here, Li Ruyi kept waiting here. Heaven didn't let down those who waited. She finally saw Jiujiu come out and finally saw how Jiujiu came out.
Li Ruyi followed the way Jiujiu came out and walked in.
Li Ruyi originally thought that Jiujiu came in and out, there must be a treasure inside. But after seeing the bottomless cliff, her heart instantly jumped to her throat. Almost at the moment she saw it, her legs went weak and she directly knelt on the ground.
Li Ruyi walked out from the edge of the cliff with weak hands and legs. She walked out in the same way as before. Li Ruyi left without looking back.
Li Ruyi secretly rejoiced as she walked. Fortunately, her steps were small. Otherwise, she would have fallen head first.
When she thought of the bottomless cliff, Li Ruyi's hands and legs went weak again.
Jiujiu went to the county town to buy the rouge and face powder that Xiao Cui often mentioned. Then she bought the old housekeeper's favorite cloud cake. Only then did she wobble back to the Li Residence.
After giving the old housekeeper and Xiao Cui the things she bought, Jiujiu returned to her room to rest.
The next day, when Jiujiu went down again, Lin Zeyu was already waiting for her at the door. The moment he saw Jiujiu come over, Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up.
Lin Zeyu changed his resistance yesterday and looked shyly at Jiujiu. His lips moved and he said, "Miss, I am willing to take you as my wife."
Jiujiu: "… …"
Thinking that she heard wrong, Jiujiu blinked and asked, "What did you say?"
"I am willing to take you as my wife." Lin Zeyu looked steadily at Jiujiu. He pursed his lips and said, "Miss is right. I cannot repay you for saving my life. I can only repay you with my body. This one has thought wrongly before. I hope Miss will forgive me. If Miss doesn't mind, after this one recovers, this one will go to your residence to send the betrothal gifts to take Miss as my wife."
Originally, Lin Zeyu was worried that if he married Jiujiu, it would harm Jiujiu. Ever since he saw Jiujiu's qinggong yesterday, Lin Zeyu knew that Jiujiu's martial arts were not weak.
In order to confirm his thoughts, he especially looked at the height of the cliff today.
Even if his martial arts were strong, he would not be able to climb up without any external help. However, Jiujiu could come and go as she pleased. This meant that Jiujiu's martial arts were above his and that Jiujiu's ability to protect herself was very good.
Although she did not understand why Lin Zeyu changed his mind so quickly, Jiujiu still nodded in agreement.
In the following days, Jiujiu came every day to cook for Lin Zeyu and change his medicine. Occasionally, she would even give Lin Zeyu some of her own medicine.
Lin Zeyu did not doubt the medicine that Jiujiu gave him and directly swallowed it. He did not seem at all like a vigilant leader of the shadow guards.
