The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 57 No, I will still fight wounded.

Just after Lu Yuanchangming carried Qiu Ziyue to Luminglou to recuperate, Zhu Yanshou also received a secret report from his spies.

Zhu Yanshou decided to visit him in person.

To ensure safety, Zhu Yanshou specially invited several officials to accompany him.

He also prepared some precious medicinal herbs and gifts, hoping to help Qiu Ziyue recover as soon as possible.

Zhu Yanshou arrived at Luming Tower with several officials and gently knocked on the door.

A moment later, someone came to open the door.

"Lord Zhu, what brings you here?"

Zhu Yanshou was very surprised to see that it was Liu Xu who opened the door.

Because Liu Xu had seen Zhu Yanshou during the sword and zither competition, she recognized him at a glance.

Zhu Yanshou bowed and said, "I heard that Miss Qiu is recuperating here, so I came to see her."

Liu Xu nodded and said, "Miss Qiu is indeed recuperating here. Lord Zhu, please follow me."

Liu Xu led Zhu Yanshou and his group to the built-in medical clinic.

Inside the clinic, Qiu Ziyue was resting, her face pale.

Upon seeing Zhu Yanshou, Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and said in a weak voice, "Lord Zhu, what brings you here?"

Zhu Yanshou stepped forward and asked with concern, "I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. How are you feeling now?"

Qiu Ziyue sighed and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now."

Zhu Yanshou handed the medicinal herbs and gifts he had brought to Liu Xu, saying, "These are some medicinal herbs and tonics that I brought specially, hoping they will be of some help to Miss Feng."

Liu Xu accepted the gifts and expressed her gratitude.

Zhu Yanshou sat by the bed, looking at Qiu Ziyue's haggard appearance, and offered a few words of comfort.

Then, Zhu Yanshou asked Qiu Ziyue why Liu Xu had followed them.

Qiu Ziyue said, "Lord Zhu, I originally planned to bring Liu Xu's whole family to the Valley of Passion, but when Liu Xu heard that I was injured, she thought of coming to take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu hurriedly said, "Miss Qiu has already brought my family to the Valley of Passion. I heard that Miss Qiu was injured, and her injury is probably related to me. I feel bad about it, so I came to take care of Miss Qiu. I also have a request, and since Lord Zhu is here, I would like to ask him to be a witness."

Zhu Yanshou asked, "What is it, Miss Liuxu? Please speak."

Liu Xu immediately knelt down and said, "Miss Qiu is kind-hearted. I want to follow Miss Qiu from now on and be her maid. I will follow Miss Qiu's lead. I hope Miss Qiu will agree and ask Lord Zhu to witness."

“Liu Xu, you, no need, get up quickly. We’re about the same age, we can be sisters,” Qiu Ziyue said.

“Since Liu Xu has chosen you as her master, then let’s grant her wish,” Zhu Yanshou said.

"Okay, okay, I promise you. But you can just call me 'sister' from now on. No need to be so formal. I'm really not used to it," Qiu Ziyue nodded.

Qiu Ziyue thought to herself that she had traveled from the modern era, where everyone was equal and there were no such tedious formalities. However, she was really happy that she would have a sister by her side in the future.

Seeing that both mistress and servant were very happy, Zhu Yanshou took advantage of the moment and said, "Miss Qiu, I have some important news to tell you. Originally, there was one last sword-fighting round in the zither and sword competition, but since you are both injured, I think we should postpone that final round so you can recover properly. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's eyes flashed with relief. After considering for a moment, she said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhu. However, I would like to complete the sword competition as soon as possible, so I would appreciate your permission, Lord Zhu, that the sword competition can still proceed as scheduled."

"What, Miss Qiu? You're still injured. It's unfair to you to start a competition like this. Besides, do you even know who you'll be facing in the end?"

Zhu Yanshou was taken aback. He had intended to be a good person and wanted to postpone the sword fight after learning that Qiu Ziyue was injured, but Qiu Ziyue insisted on holding it on time.

"The final showdown will be between Qi Yuxuan from the Valley of Heartbreak, right, Lord Zhu?" Qiu Ziyue asked.

“Yes, Miss Qiu, do you know that Young Master Qi Yuxuan is eighteen years old this year? He won the championship when he was eight years old. He won the championship for two consecutive years. Many seniors in the martial arts world are no match for him. Are you confident of winning? Besides, you are injured now,” Zhu Yanshou said worriedly.

"Lord Zhu, I want to end all of this as soon as possible. There are constant conflicts in the martial arts world right now, and I want to end it all as quickly as possible. Regardless of the outcome, I want the competition to end as soon as possible, and I don't want to delay it even for a day," Qiu Ziyue said.

“Alright, since Miss Qiu is so determined, I will go back and explain everything to the judging panel. It will be held in three days, is that alright?” Zhu Yanshou said.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Lord Zhu," Qiu Ziyue said gratefully.

Then, Qiu Ziyue sighed and said, "Zhao Wanqing appears gentle and refined on the surface, but she is actually very scheming. We must expose her true colors in order to restore peace."

After listening, Zhu Yanshou said with a somewhat helpless tone, "I think this is a bit difficult. It is said that Zhao Wanqing is the adopted daughter of Yang Fugong, a eunuch who controls the Imperial Guards. With such a powerful backer, it may be difficult to punish her."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue said he would try to find a way to resolve the matter.

Zhu Yanshou and Qiu Ziyue chatted for a while longer, and before they knew it, it was dusk.

Zhu Yanshou got up to take his leave.

Zhu Yanshou embarked on his journey home, his heart filled with concern and worry for Qiu Ziyue.

He knew that Qiu Ziyue was someone who could help him achieve his grand ambitions. He secretly resolved to do everything in his power to protect Qiu Ziyue and at the same time win her over to use her for his own purposes.

Zhu Yanshou returned to his residence. He thought it over and over and decided that he couldn't just let it go like this. He had to tell Yang Xingmi the news, since Yang Xingmi had told him to keep track of Qiu Ziyue's movements and the activities of the five major sects and gangs in the martial arts world.

Zhu Yanshou told Yang Xingmi that Qiu Ziyue was injured but still insisted on participating in the competition.

Yang Xingmi's heart clenched instantly. He stood up and paced back and forth in the study, the images of Qiu Ziyue dancing and playing the piano flashing through his mind. He felt that Qiu Ziyue was a rare talent.

Yang Xingmi judged that the fact that Qiu Ziyue was able to let Qiu Ziyue stab her without dodging meant that Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan had a very different relationship. Even more so, that silly girl might actually like Qi Yuxuan.

Yang Xingmi nodded and said, "Then let's do as Miss Qiu wishes. The swordsmanship competition will proceed as scheduled."

When the news reached Qi Yuxuan that the swordsmanship competition would take place as scheduled three days later, Qi Yuxuan was astonished.

"What? Whose idea was this? Many people are already injured. Do we still want to continue?" Qi Yuxuan said.

Yun Feiyang replied, "Young Valley Master, I heard that Qiu Ziyue took the initiative to request that the swordplay be conducted as scheduled."

"What? Has this woman gone mad? Does she think she's made of steel?" Qi Yuxuan said.

“Young Valley Master, I don’t know what Qiu Ziyue is thinking. Our Heartless Valley has always been famous in the martial arts world for its superb swordsmanship, and you are also a leader in swordsmanship. I guess Qiu Ziyue doesn’t want to get entangled with you anymore and wants to just accept defeat,” Yun Feiyang said.

"That crazy woman Qiu Ziyue, has she really lost her mind? I really don't know what she's thinking, she's so abnormal," Qi Yuxuan said.

"Young Valley Master, don't pay any attention to him. It's all fair competition. Just pretend nothing happened and continue the competition. If Qiu Ziyue loses, the bet is null and void, so you don't need to worry," Yun Feiyang said.

“That makes sense,” Qi Yuxuan said after thinking for a moment.
