In the inner courtyard, the old lady was soaking her feet with the help of her maid. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turned pale, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

How could her snake poison be killed?

"Old lady!" The maid exclaimed when she saw her suddenly vomit blood.

The old lady glanced at her with a cold look. The maid immediately lowered her head and dared not say another word.

"It's just a temporary problem with my true energy. There's nothing to be alarmed about." The old lady said calmly, "Okay, you can leave now."

"Yes." The maid went out with the basin of water.

The old lady spat out blood again, and quickly sat down cross-legged, practicing her internal energy to heal her wounds.

The snake Gu was her natal Gu. Once the snake Gu died, she suffered a severe backlash.

Looking at the snake poison that was easily strangled and sucked into a dried snake by the red nematodes, Xue Huan closed her eyes again and continued to practice.

The reason why she didn't catch the snake and use it to find its owner was that she felt it was unnecessary. After the snake died, its owner would definitely be retaliated against. Tomorrow, she would just need to see who was listless and seriously injured to know who the owner of the snake was.

In fact, there is an even simpler way, which is to scan with spiritual sense. Unfortunately, her spiritual sense cannot cover the entire mansion now, otherwise it would come out with one scan.

The next morning, Xue Huan once again prepared a hearty and delicious breakfast.

Ya Gu said with some distress: "Miss, just let me take care of the cooking. How can I trouble you?"

Xue Huan smiled and said, "Then I'll leave today's lunch to you."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll show you my skills and make you my signature dish, tofu with chicken sauce, and braised fish. These two dishes were my favorites."

"Then I'll be looking forward to a feast."

The two chatted and laughed as they sat down at the table. Looking at the porridge and breakfast that filled most of the table, she couldn't help but worry, "I'm afraid we can't finish all this. It would be bad if it was wasted."

Xue Huan: "Auntie Ya, don't worry. I have a big appetite and I guarantee I can finish it. Just eat without worry." She picked up a steamed dumpling and put it on her plate.

While they were eating, Han's trusted confidant, Rong Mama, arrived with a group of maids. She gave Xue Huan a perfunctory bow and said, "Miss, Madam, remembering that you don't have servants to serve you, has specially sent this old servant to bring some over for you to choose from. In our mansion, customarily, a young lady is allowed four maids, eight servants, and four housemaids. We can't gather that many people right now, so please choose a few first. We'll have the traffickers come to the mansion later to carefully select for you."

Xue Huan glanced at the row of maids behind her and pointed directly at the one at the edge: "That's it, take the rest away. I don't need so many people to serve me."

The maid she was pointing at was originally standing obediently by the side with her head down. Suddenly she realized something was wrong. She looked up and found that everyone was looking at her. She was stunned for a moment, then realized that she could be the one chosen by the eldest lady.

She felt dizzy, as if she had been hit by a pie in the sky.

This maid was called Xiaoyu. She was originally a low-ranking maid who cleaned toilets. There was a chain of contempt among the maids. The high-ranking ones looked down on the high-ranking ones, the high-ranking ones looked down on the high-ranking ones, and the high-ranking ones looked down on the low-ranking ones like Xiaoyu.

When they were standing in position just now, the other maids stayed away from her, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by her bad smell. Xiaoyu had long been accustomed to other people's contempt, so she didn't go any closer and stood quietly in the corner.

I was thinking that the toilet would be piled up again when I got home and needed to be cleaned.

When Xue Huan looked over, she saw Xiaoyu among the maids, covered in dust from head to toe. She was very inconspicuous and could be said to be the one most easily overlooked among the maids. But she chose her nonetheless.

Because she could see that Xiaoyu was the only one with the cleanest background and had not received any instructions from the master in the mansion.

So when Xiaoyu comes to her, he will be completely loyal to her, and she doesn't care about anything else.

The others looked at Xiaoyu with some jealousy, wondering what made her better than them that she was the only one chosen, while they, who were obviously much better than her, were not selected.

Seeing that these people were standing still, Xue Huan's voice deepened, "Hasn't what I said been clear enough? What? Do you want me to say it again?"

Mother Rong was a little unwilling, but when she met her pair of cold and insightful eyes, her heart couldn't help but tremble, as if she was seen through by her. This young lady was really weird. She actually chose that little girl who was brought in to make up the numbers and had no background.

"This old servant will take them away now. You can continue to eat, Miss."

Rong's mother and others left, and Xiaoyu was left alone. She rubbed her feet on the ground, feeling a little helpless.

After cleaning the toilet for so long, she didn't have to go back to clean it anymore, and she didn't know what to do.

Xue Huan waved at her, "Come here."

Xiaoyu walked forward, but not too close, so as not to offend the young lady with the bad smell on her body.

Although she kept herself clean, she still had a smell on her body that couldn't be washed off even after taking a shower because of scrubbing the toilet for a long time.

This is also the reason why others are unwilling to get close to her.

Xue Huan used a cleaning spell on Xiaoyu, and in an instant, Xiaoyu's whole body became extremely clean, and the strange smell on his body disappeared.

The little fish opened his eyes wide, feeling incredibly amazed by the changes happening to him, his eyes widened into a circle.

At this moment, she finally began to look lively, as she should be at her age.

After all, she was just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a heavy air of decadence about her, which was really not good.

Now her expression is much more lively and vivid.

"Come, sit down and eat." Xue Huan took out another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Xiaoyu was stunned, not daring to move. The eldest lady actually asked her to sit down and eat? How could this be possible?

"Miss, I have already eaten. I am not hungry, really." Xiaoyu waved her hands repeatedly.

Just as she finished saying this, she was slapped in the face by her rumbling stomach.

Her face suddenly turned red, she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Xue Huan deliberately frowned: "Since you call me Miss, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Xiaoyu: “Of course.”

"Then I asked you to sit down and eat, why didn't you listen?"

Xiaoyu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Then, Ya Gu said, "Since the eldest lady has spoken, you should sit down. If you delay any longer, the breakfast will get cold."

Looking at the kind and gentle face of Aunt Ya, Xiaoyu was finally persuaded. He walked over and sat down at the table hesitantly.

Xue Huan finally smiled. "That's right. Now that you're mine, you have to listen to me from now on. You have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Xiaoyu nodded heavily: "Yes, I will listen to you, Miss."

Xue Huan: "First of all, from now on, don't call yourself 'servant' anymore. Just say 'I'. Remember?"

This time, Xiaoyu simply responded, "I'll remember."

"Well, you are a teachable girl. Eat quickly." Xue Huan picked up a fried dumpling for her.

I picked up the little fish and took a bite. Oh, it’s so delicious!
