Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 2269 - 2266: Rebellious Psychology

"You need to rest in bed for half a month. I’ve prepared these medicines, have someone jot them down shortly."

Li Can moved his numbed, painful lips: "Is my injury not serious?"

"You’re lucky, kid. If they kept hitting, your rib could’ve punctured your organs, and then you’d be waiting for your body to be collected." Lu Sangqi gently shook his head: "Next time, bring more people when you go out."

"...Thank you." Li Can said through gritted teeth.

Lu Sangqi left shortly thereafter.

A trace of hatred flickered in Li Can’s eyes.

He immediately called the servant boy in.

The servant boy was actually injured pretty badly too, but it was only his leg, so he came in supporting himself on a crutch.

"Young Master..."

"Who came to cause trouble for me?" Even saying a few casual words made Li Can’s chest hurt fiercely, deepening the hatred in his heart.

He wasn’t exactly a good person, befriending Tang Dongfeng was due to their aligned interests, but it didn’t mean he was without temper.

"Young Master, the servant only knows that those people seemed to be sent by Zhang San. They said Zhang San’s sister died, and Zhang San’s family blamed you for taking him gambling, using deadly force."

"Impossible." Li Can denied without even thinking: "Zhang San always wanted to sell his sister to earn gambling money. He secretly beats her too, even if she really died, he wouldn’t come looking for me."

This was known only to those who were on bad terms with Zhang San.

Li Can only found out by accident while drunk with Zhang San when his sister tried to climb into bed.

So, someone definitely hired a killer.

Thinking of the doctor’s words, a wave of fear swept through him, and he was filled with deadly hatred towards whoever was behind the attack.

"Where’s Zhang San and the others?" Li Can asked through gritted teeth.

"They were taken to the yamen by the Official Gazette’s adults. This time, it was the adults who saved the Young Master."

The people from the Official Gazette Office? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Send someone to deliver Zhang San a message for me." Li Can immediately thought of the Chu family and the Qi family.

If it was the Chu family striking against him this time, he didn’t quite believe it, since this isn’t typical of their methods; they wouldn’t take risky actions to drive a wedge between him and the Qi family.

This seemed more like the Qi family’s methods.

But precisely because it seemed too much like the Qi family’s methods, outsiders might think it wasn’t them who acted.

But Li Can was different; he appeared careless but was actually very meticulous, knowing people’s true natures, thus he wouldn’t provoke those he couldn’t afford to provoke.

So he felt it was indeed the Qi family behind it.

Elder Qi San...

Thinking of this man’s tactics, Li Can, though already somewhat guarded, didn’t expect the other party to be so bold and act so swiftly.

This is what gave the other party an opportunity.

"By the way, arrange for more people at the gambling den. I suspect that the people behind this might think my injury isn’t severe enough; if they start a fire, don’t hesitate and keep a close watch, even if it means wasting manpower."

"As for the news on my end, spread word that I’m severely ill." Li Can gave instructions in a few words.

"And, go find Elder Tang and tell him, if he can find evidence of the Qi family’s involvement, I’ll owe him a favor." Li Can finished instructing.

Upon receiving news, the Li family sent someone to bring him back.

He lay in bed and feigned death.

Soon, news spread that Third Young Master Li was beaten and seriously injured outside.

Tang Dongfeng also received the message from Li Can.

He rubbed his hair a bit angrily.
