Chapter 23: A Debt of Gratitude

“What kind of account?” Dongli Lucang was stunned, looking at Yunzhi with some confusion.

Yunzhi glanced at Dongli Lucang indifferently and said, “You must know your own physical condition. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have survived until tomorrow. Now, I’ve saved your life, this debt of gratitude must be repaid.”

“You’re right.” Dongli Lucang nodded. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have listened to the old man’s words and taken a gamble, coming here.

He had to admit, his luck was pretty good. He randomly found a courtyard to fall into, and he met the owner.

Thinking that he was out of danger, Dongli Lucang was in a very good mood. He smiled and asked, “Miss, how would you like me to repay this debt of gratitude?”

“Easy!” Seeing Dongli Lucang so agreeable, Yunzhi was also happy. She directly quoted a price, “Two hundred thousand gold!”

Such a high price, she wasn’t afraid of scaring him.

Actually, Yunzhi quoted such a high price to give the other party room to bargain. But, her bottom line was that no matter how he negotiated, twelve thousand gold was the minimum.

However, she didn’t expect that Dongli Lucang didn’t object at all. Instead, he nodded and said, “Okay. It’s just that I don’t have that much money on me right now. So, I need to wait a few days. What do you think, Miss?”

“No problem. Saving someone, I’ll see it through. Although the poison in your body has been removed, your internal injuries still need to be treated. I’ll prescribe a medicine for you, and with acupuncture, you’ll recover faster. However, I’m saying this beforehand, when you’re well, you must send the money to me. Otherwise, I can save your life, and I can also take your life.”

Although Dongli Lucang didn’t bargain, making her happy, she still had to say what needed to be said. She always liked to lay out the ugly truth beforehand, to avoid trouble later.

“Don’t worry!” Dongli Lucang nodded. Even if Yunzhi didn’t say it, he would send the money to her as soon as possible.

After instructing her people to take good care of Dongli Lucang, Yunzhi left. Besides treating the illness, other matters would naturally be handled by the servants.

Yunzhi returned to her room, washed up briefly, and went straight to bed.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yun Mansion was not good. Yunfu had a lot of things to deal with at the government office today, so he came home late.

It was only when he got home that he learned about Yunzhi’s divorce.

“Yunzhi divorced the Marquis of Anyuan?” Yunfu’s face was very ugly. Although the Yun family wasn’t a wealthy and influential clan, they were still a respectable family. His daughter’s divorce would make him lose face.

Not to mention, when he went to the government office tomorrow, his colleagues would definitely ask him about it, and they might even make fun of him for not being able to discipline his daughter.

“Yes!” Xu nodded, then told Yunfu about Yunzhi not discussing the matter with the family and handling it herself, and how she publicly declared that she had severed ties with them when Xu asked Yunzhi to become a nun.

Hearing Xu’s embellished account, Yuncheng’s face became even uglier. He slammed his hand on the table beside him angrily and asked, “Where is that wretch now?”

“She’s in the house on Wuyi Lane.” Xu told Yuncheng the address she had found out about Yunzhi’s residence. In her heart, she thought that she couldn’t do anything to Yunzhi, but there was someone who could.

In Xu’s eyes, Yuncheng was the one who could deal with Yunzhi.
