Chapter 1032: Chapter 1037: Whipping
"I don’t want the silver, in light of his situation I can agree to you, but you also have to promise me one thing."
Qiao Duo’er glanced at Zhu Jianzhi who was trembling uncontrollably.
She had not let this shameless man off last time, but Tan Zhenghong had dragged her away. This time he walked right into the trap; she wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless now.
"What matter?"
"You have to have a proper talk with Luo Qingfeng, you can’t hurt him," Qiao Duo’er stated her condition.
This girl was no simple character, she would find Luo Qingfeng one day, it was better to deal with the matter swiftly.
If it was a calamitous relationship, they should separate; if it was marriage fate, there was no need to torment each other.
Lu Kejun nodded without hesitation, "If I promise you, that’s it."
As long as she saw Luo Qingfeng, she had plenty of ways to deal with him, without letting anyone see through her.
"Bai Yan, go and tidy up a guest room immediately, then go and explain to the villagers, don’t let the news about Ke-kun being here get out," Qiao Duo’er instructed.
"Thank you, I’ll help you out with one more thing!" Lu Kejun said cheerfully.
She was always clear about gratitude and grudges. If someone treated her well, she would return the favor; if someone offended her, she would chase them to the ends of the earth to get even.
As for the help she mentioned, it was to interrogate this man with ulterior motives.
In Red Cloud Villa, no one had interrogation techniques that were more sophisticated than hers.
Lu Kejun took off a soft whip from her waist, adorned with barbs that made it look intimidating.
"Speak up, what are you up to sneaking around?"
Shivering, Zhu Jianzhi said, "I... I... was looking for Almond, not sneaking around."
"You still want to get back together with Almond?"
Qiao Duo scoffed lightly.
She really had an eye-opener today; after making such a scene last time, he still had the audacity to look for Almond!
Interested, Lu Kejun asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
"After his wife passed, he started hitting on another girl. When the girl didn’t reciprocate, he tried to force his way, and then he maliciously claimed that I fancied him."
Qiao Duo summarised the Sword-Casting master’s ’glorious’ actions briefly.
Zhu Jianzhi hurried to explain, "What I did last time was because of that woman, I just wanted to see Almond."
Even through a myriad of mistakes, his feelings for Almond would never change.
"Was it because of pressure? Did she use five liang of silver or ten taels of silver to pressure you?" Qiao Duo curled her lip.
Hmm... she probably overestimated.
With only nine wen in Wang Yun’s red packet, how much would she be willing to spend to bribe Zhu Jianzhi?
Ashamed by the exposure, Zhu Jianzhi’s face flushed as he stuttered, "She didn’t give any silver."
That woman had said she would pay after the job was done, and he figured that if she dared to back out, he would make the matter public, and she would surely comply.
But who would have thought that the woman just disappeared without a trace? Without that money, he couldn’t even afford to eat now.
"You’re fit to get married? With no money, wouldn’t you end up selling your wife for cash?" Lu Kejun said angrily.
And it wouldn’t take much, only a few taels of silver would do the job.
"I... won’t do that."
Zhu Jianzhi hurriedly shook his head, but his tone betrayed him.
"Shameless thing, see how grandma here will teach you a lesson!"
Lu Kejun raised the whip and lashed it across Zhu Jianzhi’s body, where the barbs not only tore his clothes but also hooked into his flesh.
Even though Zhu Jianzhi screamed from the beating, Lu Kejun still didn’t feel it was enough.
Hmph, when a woman marries a man, is it for him to sell her off when he runs out of money?
