Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 22 I Want to Make You the Top Scholar's Wife 6

Most importantly, when he took Miss Jiang to those stalls to choose gifts, the vendors would all say that this young man was so good to his wife.

My lord, this suits your wife very well, so let's buy it.

These are the kinds of flattering words vendors use to sell their wares, especially to a man and a woman together.

Upon hearing these words, Miss Jiang, being a shy young woman, would deny them and then run away in embarrassment.

He stepped forward to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

These words remained in her heart.

Whenever I see him or hear his name again, I think of those words and can't help but think that it wouldn't be bad to become his wife.

He could then proceed step by step, conquering territory and winning her heart.

He copied books day and night for a year, and now he has finally paid off all his debts.

Now I still have some silver on me.

He was originally supposed to pass the imperial examination this year, but he hadn't had much time to study and didn't have the money to hire a tutor. Knowing he wouldn't pass, he simply didn't register.

This means we'll have to wait until the end of next year to take the imperial examination for the title of Xiucai.

He needs to find a good teacher, study hard, and pass the imperial examination to become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations). Only then will it show that he is very talented and has the potential to be a scholar, and his family will continue to support him in taking the imperial examinations.

He had no desire to do farm work; his hands were for writing, not for wielding a hoe.

However, his family was out of money, and the money he earned from copying books was far from enough. Therefore, he needed to arrange for Miss Jiang to marry him as soon as possible, so that she could provide him with the money to help him with his studies.

Therefore, he must make Miss Jiang completely devoted to him this year so that she can focus on her studies next year.

Listening to Li Erlang's words, Jiang He was originally thinking about when to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson before she left.

Since it's come to us today, we might as well seize the day.

"Who are you? I don't know you."

"Miss Jiang, it's me. Last time I found a handkerchief and asked if it was yours. Have you forgotten?"

"I forgot."

Li Erlang choked upon hearing this: "It's alright, let's get to know each other from this moment on. I am Li Erlang from Li Family Village, and I am currently a student of the Imperial Academy."

"Miss Jiang, I need your help."

"I can help you, but I have some things to do right now."

"Is there anything else, Miss Jiang, that I can help you with?"

"You want to help? Sure, then come with me."

When Li Erlang saw that Miss Jiang did not refuse, he was overjoyed. If you help me and I help you, and we do this back and forth, won't the two of you become acquainted?

Li Erlang followed Jiang He out of the city and headed outwards.

"Miss Jiang, where are we going?"

"I have some things hidden outside, they're a bit heavy, and I can't carry them by myself, so please help me."

"What is that?"

"You'll see when we get there. Don't say too much, that's where I hide things, I have to be discreet, I can't let anyone find out."

"Alright, alright, I understand, Miss Jiang. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."

Li Erlang is very satisfied with the current progress, as he has already gained Miss Jiang's initial trust.

Jiang He also placed a talisman on Li Erlang to conceal his aura, so no one knew that Li Erlang had followed her out of the city and into the woods outside the city.

Li Erlang followed Jiang He into the woods.

"I buried something under this big tree, can you dig it out for me?"

"No problem, I'll dig it for you."

Li Erlang squatted down and dug a hole.

Jiang He took out a knife from her spatial storage.

It's quite normal for Li Erlang to come to this forest, unexpectedly encounter bandits, and be hacked to death.

Jiang He put up a soundproof talisman here, and the sound was blocked out.

A talisman that amplifies pain tenfold was placed on Li Erlang.

A knife slashed his back, tearing his clothes and revealing the flesh inside.

This knife is very sharp; you have to control your strength. It wouldn't be good to kill someone with one blow.

If the younger brother was beaten with a hundred sticks, then cutting him a hundred times wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

"Ah!" Li Erlang was slashed and fell to the ground. Seeing Jiang He holding a knife, he screamed in terror, "What are you doing? Why are you killing me?"

Jiang He stepped forward and slashed again. Li Erlang instinctively raised his arm to block, leaving a long wound on his arm, but it was just a superficial injury.

Li Erlang felt as if his hand had been cut off; it hurt terribly.

"Help! Help! Someone please save me!"

Li Erlang wanted to call for help, but unfortunately this was in the woods, and no one would come here.

Moreover, sound is cut off here, so no one will hear his cries for help.

Even if someone comes into the woods, Li Erlang can conceal his presence and no one will notice that someone is there.

Li Erlang tried to run away, but Jiang He severed his Achilles tendon.

"Please, let me go. We have no grudge against each other."

Li Erlang pleaded desperately, genuinely unaware of why Miss Jiang would suddenly want to kill him.

And where did this knife come from?

"Ah, I know I was wrong. I didn't know anything. I won't betray you. Please let me go."

Li Erlang felt like he was going to die. It hurt, it hurt so much, every part of his body hurt.

He didn't know why he was being hunted down.

Could Miss Jiang be some kind of murderer? A notorious thief?

Could it be that some kind of skeleton, murder weapon, or gold and silver jewelry is buried under this big tree?

Li Erlang deeply regretted his decision to approach Miss Jiang.

Maybe the Jiang family are robbers, and all their money is stolen.

If they're all farmers, how come his family is richer than others?

Hearing that she ate meat at every meal, Miss Jiang went to the county town every few days.

Li Erlang became increasingly frightened, so much so that he was about to faint, but the pain in his body prevented him from passing out.

Finally, Li Erlang could no longer endure the torment and fainted.

Jiang He fed Li Erlang a pill that would cause the skin all over the body to fester, then peel, grow new skin, and continue to fester, repeating this process ten times.

I could clearly feel myself rotting and smelling, and there were also small ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies biting me.

In the end, Li Erlang will die from complete rotting.

There is an abandoned, dry well in this forest.

Jiang He dragged Li Erlang and threw him into the dry well.

A talisman was pasted on the outside of the dry well, and the seal would only be lifted after Li Erlang died.

After dealing with Li Erlang, Jiang He went to the county town to continue purchasing.

Jiang He bought a donkey cart. They were going to Wanli Academy, and since the journey was long, they still needed a donkey cart.

The donkey cart was easy to drive and moved at a moderate speed, making it suitable for the siblings.

They also purchased other necessities for living away from home.

If you encounter a town before dark, you can stay overnight at an inn.

If you're in the wild, you'll have to endure wind and rain.

Bedding and pots are also essential.

Carrying the things she had bought, Jiang He drove the donkey cart home.
