Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...
Jiang Xueying followed the woman to Hu's house and followed her into the bedroom.
After ordering someone to serve tea, the woman asked everyone to leave.
Jiang Xueying watched the woman's operation calmly, and found that there were only two of them in the room. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on so mysteriously.
The woman smiled at Jiang Xueying, with some hesitation in her eyes, "Miss Jiang, it's like this, I... I have been married into the Hu family and have never had any children. Now I'm almost thirty-five, and that... that is getting less and less..."
Jiang Xueying was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what the woman wanted. In this era, women could not avoid having children after marriage. The Hu family was a well-known wealthy family. As a concubine, the woman naturally hoped to have a child.
The other layer she mentioned is women's menstruation.
But according to her current age, less menstrual period is normal. As for the fact that she has not had children... there are many possibilities!
"I checked on you when you fainted last time. There should be nothing wrong with your body. If your menstrual flow is light, it's not a problem."
"What...what's the reason? Is it possible for me...to still get pregnant?"
Knowing that there is nothing wrong with her body, what a woman wants to know most is whether she can still have children.
"You should take care of your body and eat more blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing foods. As for the child...it's not just your problem!"
The woman was stunned and looked at Jiang Xueying in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Jiang Xueying had no choice but to say, "The first thing you need to do is to take care of your body, and then calm your mind. If you worry all day long, you won't be able to keep the pregnancy even if you get pregnant."
A trace of nervousness flashed in the woman's eyes, "Then...then what should I do?"
"I can only take care of my body temporarily, and what happens next can only be left to fate!"
She is not a professional doctor, so how can she give accurate guarantees? She can only offer comfort based on advanced theories.
Jiang Xueying wrote a prescription for replenishing blood and qi and handed it to the woman. The woman took it and thanked her gratefully, then called her personal maid and gave her a few instructions.
After a while, the maid came in with an exquisite box. When she opened it, she saw a set of exquisite jewelry inside.
"Miss Jiang, I didn't have time to thank you for saving my life. Now that we have this opportunity to meet again, these... are just a little gift from me. Please accept them!"
Jiang Xueying immediately declined, "I am a rural woman, and I don't use these things on a daily basis. It would be a waste if you gave them to me. Thank you for your kindness."
That's true, she really has no use for these jewels.
The woman thought about it and felt that this was the case, so she asked her maid to take it away and exchange it for a stack of silver bills. Jiang Xueying was secretly amazed when she saw it. This wealthy family was really generous and their spending was getting bigger each time.
But Jiang Xueying still refused to accept it. After all, if she accepted the money, the nature of the matter would change. She didn't want to be involved in the money-making business. It would be more cost-effective to let the woman owe her a favor.
Since Jiang Xueying didn't want anything, the woman felt a little embarrassed, but she also accepted Jiang Xueying's favor and asked the maid to send her out of the house.
Following the maid around the yard and out of the house, Jiang Xueying secretly sighed as she walked that the Hu family was really rich. The house covered a large area and was so magnificent inside. No wonder everyone in the town said that the Hu family was very wealthy.
However, just as he walked through a corridor, he met the arrogant Hu Qi walking towards him.
Seeing Jiang Xueying, Hu Qi subconsciously took two steps back, with fear in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still frightened by Jiang Xueying's previous behavior.
But soon, he remembered that this was his home, what was he afraid of?
Thinking of this, Hu Qi finally regained his confidence and resumed his previous arrogance, but he still took into account that the person escorting Jiang Xueying was the woman's personal maid.
"How did you get to know my aunt? What is your purpose in getting close to my aunt?"
The maid couldn't help but frowned slightly and looked at Hu Qi, "Sir, this is Madam's guest. Madam said that today's incident was a misunderstanding. Sir, you must not embarrass Miss Jiang!"
Hu Qi looked at her with disgust and slapped her face, "How dare a servant to speak in front of this master!"
The maidservant covered her burning face and looked at Hu Qi in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. Looking at the clear red finger marks on her face, it was clear that Hu Qi was so cruel and ruthless that he didn't have the slightest sympathy for women.
Jiang Xueying was stunned by this. She didn't expect that Hu Qi would beat his own people. But she was an outsider after all and couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs. However, this maid was beaten for helping her, so it would be wrong for her to just stand by and watch.
"It seems that the Seventh Young Master has forgotten the pain he felt today?"
Hu Qi couldn't help but think of how he was stepped on by her today, and his face instantly turned ugly, but now that he was no longer under anyone's control, he naturally wasn't afraid.
It’s just right, let’s settle both new and old grudges together.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Today's shame is just the right time to put an end to it!"
"Come here, beat him up hard, don't show any mercy!"
Hu Qi stepped back, and several burly servants rushed out from behind him and rushed towards her with sticks.
Jiang Xueying smiled coldly, with no fear in her eyes. She pulled out a square handkerchief from her sleeve and waved it lightly forward. In an instant, a lot of white powder fell from it.
The moment the powder fell, Jiang Xueying pulled the maid and quickly retreated.
The servants who rushed up were also a little confused and stopped unconsciously.
Hu Qi observed for a while but found nothing unusual. He just thought Jiang Xueying was being mysterious again and laughed at her coldly.
"What? Stop pretending here. You should be prepared if you are going to show up on the street today. I will not let you go even if you beg for mercy!"
She actually dared to step on him in the street, he would never let her go!
Just as Hu Qi was about to sneer, the servants suddenly covered their faces and wailed.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"Ah! My face hurts!"
This scared Hu Qi to death. He looked at the defeated servants covering their faces in pain, and when he looked up at Jiang Xueying again, he was full of fear.
"You...you witch, what did you use?"
He just saw the white powder raised by Jiang Xueying, and there must be something wrong with the powder. How despicable.
He only cursed Jiang Xueying in his heart for being despicable, but forgot that he was the one who used his superior numbers to bully the weak first!
Jiang Xueying still smiled calmly, "It's nothing, just some medicine powder, it won't kill anyone!"
"You, you, you...just wait, this isn't over between us!"
While Hu Qi was talking nonsense, he ran backwards in panic at such a speed that it was astonishing. Jiang Xueying couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
The maid beside her thanked Jiang Xueying and sent her out.
