‘Miss, you are so beautiful!’ A maid called Yueying suddenly said this, and she looked hard at herself in the bronze mirror. Apart from the shape of her hair and her clothes, she really didn’t notice anything that could be considered beautiful. When her sisters got married before, all the girls over the age of 18 were required to dress the same, so she was tortured by the stylist three times last year!
Since she had helped out at a jade exhibition in a shop before, walking in ancient costume was not difficult for her. But after she had taken two steps, her two maids screamed and gave her a lecture. She looked at them coldly and smiled, ‘If this is your master’s new game, then tell him that I am just a village girl, not some young lady.’
‘I really didn’t know that a village girl could tell the authenticity of jade at a glance!’ Situ Ping walked in and looked her up and down. ‘This suits you.’ She suddenly took a step back, then bowed respectfully, ‘My lady greets Mr. Situ.’ He looked at her a little incredulously, reached out to help her up, and she took the opportunity to stand up, then kicked him in the shinbone. He was completely unprotected, so he jumped in pain. ‘Young master, please pay attention to your manners!’ She sat down by herself, and the two maidservants almost had their hearts broken. They hurriedly went to help him, but he gave them a fierce glare and they quickly backed down.
‘I’m not interested in playing your sick games. Just tell her how her brother is doing.’ He straightened his clothes and sat down very casually. ’I can see that you come from a good family, but your manners are a bit crude. She asked the two of them here because she wants you to behave more appropriately. Of course, if you don’t like it, I’ll tell them not to say anything in the future.’
‘I’m just a family member visiting the patient, not your plaything, so you don’t need to do anything for me anymore. I prefer to be free.’ With that, she removed the beaded pins from her hair, and her smooth hair fell straight down to her shoulders. She casually tied it up in a bun at the back of her head, then took a jade hairpin and pinned it in place, just as she normally did at work, the only difference being that she used to use a pencil to pin it in place.
Stu Ping looked at her, his eyes sparkling with an eager light. She gave him a cold glare and said, ‘You still haven’t told me how his illness is doing!’ ‘You still look best like this!’ She opened his outreaching hand and said, ‘I want to go see him.’ ‘He’s taking a medicinal bath. Do you want to go and massage him yourself?’ She snorted and said, ‘Mr. Stu, can you just tell her the answer I want to know? Then you can find some pretty girl to play games with!’
‘Fine, she’ll tell you the answer you want to know. He was poisoned after taking the blood of a unicorn.’ “Unicorn blood?” ’It’s a plant unique to Unicorn Mountain that only grows in the Fire Rock Cave. Many people believe that it can greatly increase one’s martial arts power, so many martial artists will do whatever it takes to get it. But what they don’t know is that it’s basically a kind of poisonous fraud. After taking this medicine, a person will feel a sudden increase in strength, but in fact, it is because the body’s internal heat has no way to vent. If it cannot be released in time, then the person will bleed from all seven orifices and die. However, the man you sent here seems to have taken some antidote, and it seems that someone helped him release some of his heat.’
When he said the last sentence, he stared at her so hard that she blushed. Ziyu knew what he was referring to, and suddenly she felt a little dry in the throat. ‘In fact, no one has ever survived after consuming the blood of a qilin. I have saved one person before, but he only lived for three days. So I am not very sure how long the man you sent will live. However, yesterday she discovered a miraculous medicine that can cure him.’ ‘What medicine?’ She frowned and looked at him.
