Jian Ning stared at Meixiang, his eyes as cold as ice.

She has realized that she was wrong in the matter of Meixiang. She underestimated the greed and evil of human nature. She thought that with Ding Youtian's feelings for her and his original body, as long as Ding Youtian was as solid as a rock and did not waver, Meixiang would not be able to make any waves.

Furthermore, as a woman herself, living in a feudal society where patriarchy reigned supreme, she wondered why women should embarrass other women. Furthermore, she had always believed that Meixiang's obsession with Ding Youtian was merely the budding craze of a teenage girl chasing a star, and that it would gradually cool after this period of time.

Who would have thought that she would resort to such despicable means? If Qiaofeng had not been smart and acted in time, their family would have been ruined.

"Qiaofeng, go pack up her things and give them to her." Jian Ning said, then looked at Meixiang, who was kneeling and trembling and kowtowing, and said coldly, "I will ask your master to send you away tonight. Take care of yourself from now on!"

"Send her where? It's impossible to send her back to Beijing like this. There is only one place suitable for her." Huo Jincheng stepped out and said through gritted teeth.

The place he was talking about was a brothel. At this moment, he wished he could kick Meixiang to death, especially when he thought that such a thing had taken his daughter with him, he wanted to kick her to death even more.

"Master!" Meixiang shuddered. She knelt a few steps and kowtowed to Huo Jincheng. "I beg you, Master, please don't sell me. I am the daughter of an honest family. Please have mercy on me and give me to Brother Ding! I will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life. I beg you, Master!"

Huo Jincheng was almost laughing at her. What was he thinking? After he found out that Meixiang was interested in Ding Youtian, he had thought about giving Meixiang to Ding Youtian to disgust Jian Ning.

But this is a different time. Since Jian Ning might be Duan Xinning, considering their childhood friendship and the fact that they had been engaged as children and had not yet officially canceled their engagement, he would not give Meixiang to Ding Youtian.

"If you say one more word of nonsense, I will immediately..." Before he could finish his words, the head of the village and the clan leader came, followed by Master Chen, who was beaten black and blue by his own son.

Master Chen was a pedantic scholar and a widower, with only his idiot son, Chen Lei. Despite his pedantry, he realized something was amiss with Meixiang. He also knew she was a servant in a wealthy family in the capital, and he worried her master would report Chen Lei. What if he got him arrested and thrown in jail?

He went to ask the village head and the clan leader for help, knowing that they had a say with Huo Jincheng. He had wanted to bring some gifts, but he was completely broke. This was because his foolish son would cause trouble whenever he went crazy, and he had lost all his family property, even the house in town, to pay off debts. Otherwise, he would not have brought his foolish son to teach at the clan school in Dingjia Village.

Master Chen was quite knowledgeable, and his fees weren't expensive. He only needed the clan to provide him and his father with a roof over their heads and enough food to eat. Gulizheng, having discussed this with the clan leader, had come to plead for him.

"Mr. Huo, what happened today..."

"That's not necessary."

As the village head opened his mouth, Huo Jincheng stopped him, glanced at Meixiang, and then looked at Master Chen and said, "I have made the decision. This slave girl will be given to your son. After the new year, her indenture will be handed over to you and your son. You can make her a slave, a concubine, or even kill her. It's up to you."

Huh? Meixiang was shocked when she heard this. "Master! No! Please forgive me for my loyalty to the young master!"

She was crying with tears streaming down her face.

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Ah Man, but when she did, Huo Jincheng exploded in anger. He stepped forward and kicked Mei Xiang on the shoulder, "You slut! You dare to mention my daughter? Do you really know how to live or die?"

"Here you go!" Qiao Feng packed up Meixiang's things and threw them at her feet. "Take them and get out of here. Don't pollute my master's yard."

Meixiang knelt on the ground, staring at Qiaofeng in a daze. Suddenly, she straightened up and pointed at her, "It's you! You deliberately dropped the rag into my bowl and gave me the drugged sweet wine instead. You bitch, I'm going to fight you!"

She got up and tried to pounce on Qiao Feng like crazy, but Jian Ning got ahead of her and kicked her, sending her falling over several times. Although Jian Ning was injured, it was not difficult for him to deal with Mei Xiang.

"Hurry up and drag this bitch away." Huo Jincheng said to Master Chen in a cold voice, "If you don't want her, I'll send her to a better place."

Master Chen was a scholar after all, and since Meixiang had been seen naked in public, he looked down on her from the bottom of his heart. But thinking of his foolish son, he feared he would never be able to afford to spend money to find a wife for his foolish son. So, instead of giving Meixiang to his son, he could just take her home and let him play with her.

Besides, she could also do sewing and housework for him and his father. Thinking of this, Master Chen felt that he had made a good deal.

"I thank you on behalf of my son."

As soon as he agreed, the village head waved his hand and several villagers who had followed him immediately rushed over, picked up Meixiang and dragged her out like a chick.

"Brother Ding, please save me. I am willing to work like a slave for you..." Meixiang was dragged out of the yard. She saw Ding Youtian standing outside the clinic. She wanted to pounce on him and was not giving up. Master Chen was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked her several times.

Ding Youtian's handsome face was covered with a layer of anger. He had almost fallen into Meixiang's trap today. Thinking about it made him afraid. What difference was there between a woman like this and his mother Meng? He glanced at Meixiang with disgust and turned to go into the clinic.

I looked over and saw Dabao was awake. "How do you feel?"

"My son is fine. I'm sorry for making Daddy and Mommy worry. It's all my fault."

"Don't say that. I'll go get your mother to come and take a look."

Jian Ning had already arrived. She estimated that Dabao should be awake by now. "Bao'er, do you have the strength to speak? If not, take a rest first."

"My son feels much better, don't worry, mom."

Jane Ning checked him and found that he recovered much faster than she had imagined. Could it be that Dabao was gifted?

"My master has been here before." Ding Youtian said.

Jian Ning immediately understood that it must be Blind Liu who fed Dabao the elixir. Blind Liu's elixir was indeed magical, a panacea with effects that could not be explained by medicine. This reminded her of her master, Grandma Wu.

Her master was known as the "Ghost Hand" of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Patients with difficult-to-treat diseases that Western medicine had deemed fatal were miraculously cured after taking her master's homemade pills. However, her master didn't teach her the secret formula, citing the difficulty of making it and her current medical skills as sufficient.

Jian Ning touched Dabao's forehead and said softly, "Did Ding Gui hurt you, or did he have help?"

What she asked was also what Ding Youtian wanted to know. Dabao and the others had been practicing martial arts with Jian Ning for some time. How could a mere Ding Gui possibly defeat Dabao? If he hadn't witnessed Feng Qingzi's soul being dissolved by his master, he would have suspected that Feng Qingzi had resurrected and was causing trouble again.
