It seemed like a lifetime before Jiang Hewen finally regained his freedom. The group of people surrounding him also dispersed.

Someone seemed to be dealing with his broken leg, but Jiang Hewen was numb from the pain. He seemed to have hallucinations and he had separated into two people. One was floating in the air watching the other struggling in pain.

This was the first time Jiang Hewen knew what despair was. Obviously, he had hope, but in the end, there was only despair.

In the past, Jiang Hewen had always hated Li Su. He thought that Li Su had ruined his life. But now, Jiang Hewen knew that compared to Zhao Wanyi, Li Su had been very kind to him.

Zhao Wanyi was too cruel.

Since getting married, he had been locked in that small yard and could not go out. His meals were drugged, making him weak and at the mercy of others.

A few days ago, he was taken to another courtyard again. He was still locked up. What he faced every day were the pale walls and people who guarded him with blank faces. Earlier today, a few people suddenly broke into his yard. He didn’t understand what was going on at the time. He was suddenly pressed on the bed. Then, there was a sharp pain in his right leg. He craned his neck and looked. His right leg was broken and the broken bone pierced through his flesh and clothes. It was exposed to the outside.

Jiang Hewen was desperate and in great pain. He couldn’t help but howl.

Then, he heard Chen San’s voice in a trance. He turned his head and saw that it was really Chen San! He wanted to say something, but someone pressed on his broken bone hard and he was overwhelmed by the severe pain. He was unable to say a word.

It was only later that he learned that it was his parents who asked Chen San to check on him. Zhao Wanyi didn’t want to reveal any flaws, so she came up with such a vicious idea.

Ruthless! She was really ruthless!

Jiang Hewen thought he was about to start a happy life, but what he didn’t expect was a complete nightmare! He regretted it. He regretted not clinging to the powerful. He regretted sending Ruolan and the child away. If he had known what would happen today, he would have married Ruolan at the beginning and lived a peaceful life while guarding the family business. It was better than being half-dead now.

He regretted that he couldn’t help but be tempted and had a relationship with Ruoxue. He regretted it. He really regretted it.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t go back.

“The county princess said to treat him slowly. Don’t worry. In addition, give him this medicine to drink, so that he will not talk nonsense in the future. You should also pay attention. Don’t let him leave and don’t allow him to pass news on to the outside world. If there are any mishaps that ruin the county princess’ affairs, well, you all know the county princess’ methods.”

“Yes, this servant understands!”

Hearing this, Jiang Hewen sneered a few times. It seemed that she wanted to make him a useless person who couldn’t speak or act! It was also true that he was occupying the status of the county princess consort. Not only did this not prevent her from having her face and having fun, but also allowed her to gain a reputation as a virtuous woman! The county princess consort had become trash and she, Zhao Wanyi, still did not abandon him. What a virtuous woman!

What a great thing to do with one stone.

What about him? What did Zhao Wanyi and Prince Kang’s mansion take him for? A tool? A camouflage?

He only hated that he was fascinated, made wrong steps, and finally ended up in the situation where he had nothing.

But, it hurt so much. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Suddenly, someone fed him a bowl of medicine. He thought it was dumb medicine at first, so he closed his mouth tightly, not wanting to drink it. But the other party pinched his chin and forced it in.

Jiang Hewen’s heart was cold, but what happened next caught him by surprise. He didn’t feel any more pain. Not only did it not hurt, but instead, there was a fluttering feeling which was very comfortable.

“What medicine did you give me?” Jiang Hewen asked, trying to keep the last bit of sobriety.

Yu Ning smiled. “Naturally, it is a good medicine that can heal your wounds.” Then, she looked at the others. “Remember, when he can’t bear the pain and asks you for it, give it to him. There is no limit to the number of times. ”

Although this medicine could relieve pain, if one took too much, they would become addictive. Once addicted, it was hard to quit.

But it didn’t matter too much. It was better than being dumb! The county princess originally wanted to give the man surnamed Jiang medicine that would cause him to be dumb, but it was Yu Ning who suggested to the county princess to replace the dumb medicine with this. As for what would happen after he was addicted, the county princess’ mansion was able to keep supplying it.

He just needed to be an obedient consort. He was out of their considerations.

A few days later, Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang went to the other courtyard. County Princess Wanyi personally accompanied them to meet Jiang Hewen.

Jiang Hewen’s face was not very good. As soon as Mrs. Jiang-Wang saw him, she cried in distress. She sat in front of the bed and took his hand, “My son! How did you fall off the horse?! Let mother see your injury!”

Jiang Hewen was a little absent-minded. He looked at County Princess Wanyi, who was sitting on the Grand Master’s chair, and looked away. “I’m fine, mother. I just broke my leg. I’ll rest for a few days. What are you doing here?”

Mrs. Jiang-Wang didn’t expect Jiang Hewen to say such a thing, and was stunned. “Isn’t mother just worried about you?”

“There’s nothing to worry about. Everything is fine here, don’t worry! Mother, you are not in good health. You are moving back and forth, so you will tire easily. If you are worried about me, just let Chen San run back and forth!”

Mrs. Jiang-Wang felt a little better when she heard this. “But if mother doesn’t see you with my own eyes, how can I be at ease?”

Jiang Hewen quickly glanced at County Princess Wanyi, a little nervous. He cleared his throat. “Mother!”

Jiang Wande also realised that this was inappropriate, and lightly patted Mrs. Jiang-Wang on the shoulder. “Okay, now that you have seen him, don’t worry!”

Mrs. Jiang-Wang lowered her head and wiped away tears.

Yu Rou came in and said, “County Princess, the eldest prince has ordered someone to send something. It is said to be a good medicine that was a tribute from the Western Regions. It has a miraculous effect on bone injuries. Besides these, there are other things. Would you like to go and have a look?”

County Princess Wanyi stood up. “I still have matters to attend to. You two sit down for a while. Yu Ning, stay here.”

Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang quickly stood up and sent County Princess Wanyi out.

When Jiang Wande saw that the county princess was gone, he wanted to have a few words of affection with his son. However, Jiang Hewen was very impatient and pulled the quilt to his chest, as if he didn’t want to say more. “Mother and father, my legs are pretty bad, so forgive me for not being able to speak with you. Since you have come over, you can stay in the other courtyard for a while. Come back tomorrow!”

When Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang saw this, even though they had thousands of words to say, they couldn’t bear to disturb him since he was in pain, so they had to leave.

After Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang left, Jiang Hewen raised his head and looked at Yu Ning. “Are you satisfied? Where’s the medicine?”

Yu Ning smiled slightly. “County Princess Consort, the doctor said that the pain relief medicine is only temporary and cannot be taken for a long time. You should endure it!”

Jiang Hewen had sweat on his forehead. “I can’t take it anymore! Give it to me!” He knew that taking too much medicine was not good, but he couldn’t stand the severe pain. Only after taking the medicine could he be happy for a couple of hours. But, when the time came where he didn’t take the medicine, he would feel more uncomfortable.

Jiang Hewen knew that he was addicted, but he had no choice. He couldn’t live without this drug.

“County Princess Consort! This servant is doing this for the sake of your health. You really shouldn’t take too much of this medicine!” Yu Ning looked sincere.

“Don’t pretend like that. Whose fault is it that I became like this? Isn’t this what your county princess wanted? Hurry up and give me the medicine! Hurry up!” Jiang Hewen lay beside the bed, roaring in a low voice.

Seeing that he couldn’t hold it any longer, Yu Ning asked someone to bring the medicine over.

Jiang Hewen’s eyes lit up. He held the bowl in both hands, drank it all, then lay down on the bed. He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Ning smiled slightly and exited.

Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang stayed in the other courtyard for a day. Although they didn’t have a good chat with Jiang Hewen, it could be seen that Jiang Hewen was well taken care of. Seven or eight servants were serving him. There was nothing to worry about. Early the next morning, they proposed to leave.

Hearing that the two were leaving, Jiang Hewen’s eyes flashed with hesitation. However, when he looked at Yu Ning’s half-smile but unsmiling eyes, Jiang Hewen nodded. Now that it was inconvenient for him to move, it was inevitable that he would be controlled by others. When he got better in the future, he would think about how to leave. As for his parents, what was the use of telling them? How could they be of any help other than crying and grieving! He couldn’t count on them

When Mrs. Jiang-Wang was leaving, she left some bank notes for Jiang Hewen. She touched his hand and whispered in Jiang Hewen’s ear, “You are too old. You need to have a child with the county princess as soon as possible.”

A child? Hehe, he didn’t even hold the hand of the county princess. How could he have children?! Besides, would he dare to recognise the child born by Zhao Wanyi? Who knew which wild man the child’s father was?!

Three months later, Jiang Hewen’s leg injury finally healed. On the same day, when Yu Ning asked people to bring the medicine again, Jiang Hewen refused righteously. He thought that he just couldn’t bear the pain before, so he had to rely on medicine to relieve the pain. Now that he had recovered, he naturally didn’t need to drink any more medicine.

After Yu Ning heard it, she didn’t force it. She poured the medicine on the ground in front of Jiang Hewen. “Just follow the instructions of the county princess consort. There’s no need to prepare the immortal powder for the county princess consort in the future.”

Jiang Hewen didn’t take it seriously at the time. He decided to exercise more and find something for himself to do so that he could divert his attention and maybe get over it. Then, he started doing simple movements in the yard.

But after a quarter of an hour, he felt a little flustered, and his breathing was a little short.

Jiang Hewen gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that as long as he survived this period, it would be fine.

But it didn’t take long for Jiang Hewen to be unable to even stand up straight. He knelt on the ground, then soon fell on the ground again. He stretched out his hands in Yu Ning’s direction. “Medicine! Give me the medicine!”

Yu Ning and the other servants stood not far away and watched, with smug smiles on their faces. It was really overpowering! Those who had used the immortal powder should not even think of trying to get rid of the control of the immortal powder in their entire life, unless they died. Jiang Hewen was not County Princess Consort Kong. He had too much ** and ambition. It was impossible for him to have the courage of County Princess Kong in this life.

It was a pity. If County Princess Consort Kong didn’t die, the county princess wouldn’t be what she was today.
