Chapter Two
Back inside the mansion, Li Xiang had finally regained her conscience.
She obediently sat and listened to the kind words of old Doctor Mo's. 'Madame be sure to not physically or mentally strain yourself for a few months, the minute you feel fatigued, please take a rest.'
Li Xiang nodded her head, her pair of sparkling almond eyes shimmering.
'I'll come to give you a regular check-up once every two days.' Doctor Mo continued frowning when he saw the young woman nodding absentmindedly.
'Madame is...' your head, okay? She had been out of it ever since she woke up.
Li Xiang cocked her head when she heard the old man asking her a question.
'What...what...what...' The words got stuck continuously in a loop as Li Xiang stuttered, her small face frowning in frustration.
It's strange, she understood what he was saying; however, she can't seem to form the right sentence to reply.
Li Xiang gritted her teeth; she wanted to ask 'what is it'; however, it's impossible to get the words out despite knowing them.
Doctor Mo froze before he began to panic, grabbing his phone from his trousers pockets he dialled Assistant Chen's number.
The call was picked up after the first ring. 'Doctor Mo, is there an issue?'
'Chen Fai, get the Master on the line, it's urgent!'
Chen Fai, who was on the other side of the call frowned, he looked over his shoulder to see his Master whipping the body of a corpse.
Seeming to sense his glance, Qiu Yun looked up, his immaculate appearance looked even more devilish against the horrendous background of mangled corpses.
'What is it?'
Chen Fai hurriedly scurried over to his Master before handing his phone over to him. 'Master, it's Doctor Mo.'
Qiu Yun didn't ask further as he took the phone and made a low hum, indicating he was listening.
'Master, it's urgent. I think the pois- eh, substance Madame consume has an effect that turns her retarded!'
Li Xiang, who was listening on the side, had her expression turned darker than a burnt pot: '...'
I'm not retarded though...my tongue is just having a hard time forming words ah!
Qiu Yun clenched the whip in his hand as he began to furiously slash at the corpse again. 'Cure her then.'
Doctor Mo who had earned a PhD in Chinese Medicine: '...' Does it look like I studied poison or psychology to you?
'Master, the day I can treat a retarded person is the day I'll make it rich!' Doctor Mo wailed grievingly down the phone.
Don't joke with him, everyone who works under Master Qiu knew that the moment their Master says to do something, no matter how absurd it was, it means that he expects you to achieve it!
Qiu Yun frowned as he threw the whip onto the bloodied floor. 'Then go make it rich, else I'll make sure you won't even have a single Yuan under your name.'
'...'
Doctor Mo angrily hung up the phone, this brat. He'd been his personal doctor ever since he came out of his mother's womb, can't he be more humane?
Li Xiang pursed her lips as she looked at the helpless and frustrated expression of the old doctor. So in the end, he won't be able to treat her?
Although Li Xiang didn't know her past beside her name and that she was the Madam Qiu, kindly informed by Doctor Mo; nevertheless, Li Xiang felt a sense of disappointment and emptiness when she thought she couldn't speak again.
When Doctor Mo paid attention to his Madam again, he found her face covered in tears. What happened?! Wait, don't tell him she understood everything he had just said?
'Madam do you under the words I'm saying?' Doctor Mo spoke slowly as he bent down slightly.
Li Xiang, who was sobbing, nodded her head.
Doctor Mo eye's sparkled in surprise, so she wasn't retarded then but have issues speaking?
'Madam, please don't worry, I'm the number one doctor in the entire country. I'll cure you!'
Li Xiang, who couldn't stop crying sniffed as she nodded her head.
Please don't talk big, okay, I don't even feel reassured to have you who can't tell the difference between a healthy and a retarded person, as my doctor alright?
Although it was indeed frustrating not being able to speak correctly, she didn't understand why her body has such a strong reaction.
Li Xiang sighed in her heart as her brain deducted points for her pathetic self. It was the same as earlier, that handsome man, although she didn't have a previous impression of him, her body instantly began to close itself off when she saw him.
And because of her physical reaction, her mental state soon follows after with the fear.
*Pei Pei*, such a handsome man, and she couldn't even admire him more than a second before her body reacted!
What a waste, what a waste! But at least this attractive specimen is my husband, so it wasn't too much of a loss!
Wait till she sorts out her psychological issues regarding him, hehehe.
In the middle of her sniffles, Li Xiang broke into the smile and snickered a few times, causing Doctor Mo to unconsciously retreat a few steps.
Is the Madam really alright?
He was sure that even if she wasn't retarded she's not sane!
Doctor Mo, who'd gotten distracted by her mental state had utterly forgotten that the person in front of him had amnesia. And the thought of reporting it to his Master had already flown out of the window.
May we pray for Doctor Mo in the future everyone, Amitabha.
...
Several weeks later Li Xiang was allowed off the bed as she clutched the pair of crutches in her hand.
Ha, what a lovely garden. Although the smell of roses was so strong, it would even hide the scent of corpses, it was nevertheless beautiful!
Li Xiang dug her crutches into the spiky grass, digging a hole with them.
'Madam!'
The Head Gardener who had been hiding behind the tree leapt towards her, as he pitifully cried.
He had been following the Madam for the past few weeks, after witnessing her display violence on the rose bushes.
'Madam, the grass, the grass stop destroying the grass!' They're expensive!
The heart of the Head Gardener bled as he saw the damaged grass under the hands of this evil woman.
Li Xiang glanced at him as if he was insane, wasn't it just a patch of grass what was there to be so worked up about?
Zi - Zii - Ziii -
Suddenly, the sound of motor erupted all over the rose garden, followed by the eye-burning stench of bleach.
The Head Gardener witnessed in horror as the scent of roses blended with the foul-smelling bleach causing the whole grassland to be scorching from the smell of chemicals, a great place to burn a witch.
Then -
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fireworks erupted from the roses bushes, causing the roses where they were set off to be engulfed in flames.
The Head Gardener cursed colourfully, planning to retreat backwards with the Madam, only to find her missing.
Where did she go?!
Master come out and contain your wife, he and the rest of the gardeners can't handle her anymore!
He wants a pay rise, a pay rise!
