Zhu had never told anyone else about imprisoning Ji Xuetong in the secret room, so Xue Zhi and others didn't know about it. Seeing that she looked unwell, Xue Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Of course, Zhu Shi wouldn't tell him. She simply said, "Hurry up and give orders to surround the entire mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Send servants to patrol everywhere. If you see any unfamiliar faces, bring them to me immediately."

Although Xue Zhi was confused, he still had to listen to his mother and gave the order immediately.

Unfortunately, the entire mansion was searched, even the Wutong Garden where Xue Huan lived was not spared, but Zhu still could not find Ji Xuetong's whereabouts.

Where on earth did she run off to? If she returned to Qingyue Sect, I'm afraid I'd be in big trouble!

Zhu had no idea that the Ji Xuetong she was looking for was hiding in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, Xue Huan used a trick to fool those who came to search. Even if Ji Xuetong was right in front of them, these people could not find her.

After the searchers left, Xue Huan said to Xiao Yu, "Go and close the gate."

The little fish ran away immediately.

Ya Gu asked worriedly, "Miss, who is this person? Were those people looking for her just now?"

Xue Huan shook her head and said, "I don't know who she is. I found her in the secret room in the old lady's house."

"What? The old lady's secret room?"

Xue Huan didn't say much, only saying, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone in the mansion find her. Now, Xiaoyu, I have a task for you."

"Miss, please give your orders."

Xue Huan wrote down a prescription and took out a bag of silver, handing it to Xiaoyu: "Go out of the house and help me buy all the medicines listed above."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiaoyu took the money and prescription, responded crisply, turned around and left the house.

Xue Huan used the Fireball technique to boil a pot of hot water and said to Ya Gu, "Please help me."

Mute Girl: "Miss, just tell me what you want me to do."

With the help of Aunt Ya, Xue Huan treated the injuries of the unconscious woman on the bed and applied the healing medicine Biling Ointment she had made.

Biling ointment is extremely effective in stopping bleeding, regenerating tissue, removing scars and nourishing the skin.

After applying the medicine, Xue Huan fed the woman a low-grade rejuvenation pill, which could effectively heal her internal injuries and replenish her vitality.

The scars on this woman's body looked scary, but in fact, they were not fatal. She just lost too much blood and her vitality was severely damaged.

It's not good to take too many medicines, after all, all medicines are poisonous. Although the quality of the pills she refined was excellent and contained almost no poison, it was still better to take as little medicine as possible. So Xue Huan only fed her one rejuvenation pill, and for the rest, she would use food supplements to improve her physique and replenish the energy she had lost.

"Mute, please help her put on her clothes." Xue Huan took out a set of soft robes from the space.

Soon Xiaoyu came back with the medicine.

Xue Huan bought these medicines to treat the mute girl's throat.

Currently, her cultivation has reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage. Although the space is much larger than at the beginning, it is still less than one percent of its peak period. Therefore, many medicinal herbs have not been unlocked yet and can only be bought from outside.

But it was just this time she was buying it, so she also asked Xiaoyu to buy some medicinal herb seeds and plant them tonight. She would use magic to make them grow, and after a while, she would be able to grow fresh medicinal herbs.

Even if they are local medicinal herb seeds, the medicinal properties of the herbs cultivated through the land and spiritual energy in the space will definitely be improved, and they are much better than the local medicinal herbs.

After Xue Huan boiled the medicine, she asked Xiaoyu to watch the heat and took the medicinal seeds back to the house to plant them in the space.

Ningshou Hall.

Han was talking to Zhu.

"Mother, this Xue Huan is truly evil. As soon as she arrived at the mansion, all sorts of troubles have occurred one after another, and now even you have been affected."

The fire in Zhu's house has been put out. Because the secret room was built with stone, the fire did not spread to a large area, but the consequences were serious.

Zhu still hasn't recovered. Her old headache problem has come back again. She is leaning on the Luohan bed, with her maid massaging her head.

After Han said that, she opened her eyes. Her face was younger than Han's, but her eyes showed the traces of time, which were definitely not possessed by young people.

She glanced at Han solemnly, "Don't I know? Do I need you to tell me?"

Han lowered her head, not daring to talk back to her mother-in-law, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart and cursed her as an old witch.

"Didn't I ask you to send a few people to her yard? Did you do that?"

Han said, "Mother, I was just about to tell you this. I asked Rong Mama to bring a group of maids to her this morning to choose a position, but she ended up picking a lowly maid who cleaned toilets. The people I inserted into her position—ahem, the people I carefully prepared for her, she didn't even choose one. If she doesn't choose, I can't force her in, right?"

Zhu was thoughtful: "Is this just a coincidence, or did she have it in mind?"

Han: "That's impossible. Hasn't she only been in the mansion for one day? What could she know?"

Zhu glanced at her and said, "I have already sent people to Pengcheng to investigate and see what kind of monster she is."

Han was delighted. Since the old witch was going to take action against Xue Huan, Xue Huan would definitely not be able to escape! Although she disliked the old witch, she had to admit that she had some tricks up her sleeve.

Otherwise, based on her identity as the queen's sister, it is impossible for her to be suppressed by this old witch for so many years and still not be able to seize the power of housekeeper.

When Han thought of this, he felt deeply resentful.

Which wealthy family didn't hand over the housekeeping power after the daughter-in-law came into the house? She had given birth to Cheng'er for so many years now, but the old witch still held on to the housekeeping power.

"Okay, you can leave now."

"Yes." Han bowed respectfully and left Ningshou Hall.

"Go and call the kitchen manager over." Zhu said to her confidante, Zhu Mama.

Mother Zhu was the dowry brought by Zhu from her natal family. She has been with her in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years. Her status in the Mansion is now like that of an old lady among the servants. Even Xue Zhi has to give her some face when he sees her.

The person in charge of the kitchen is Zhu's daughter-in-law, Lai.

Just like her surname, Lai was very capable and managed the kitchen, a very lucrative department, very well. Even if she was a little greedy, Zhu turned a blind eye.

After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. We cannot let the people working under us have no ideas at all.

Lai came over and knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully to Zhu. "Old Madam, I see you are getting younger and younger, like a teenage girl. I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you."

Although it is flattering, who doesn’t like nice words?

Zhu showed a faint smile on her face: "Get up and sit down."

Lai sat down on a low stool at Zhu's feet. "I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
