Chapter 1
Shen Jiao’s first master was the seventeenth son of Tongcai Villa, surnamed Xue, given name Shun, and courtesy name Kangping.
He was ill, as expected.
People who are not sick cannot hire medicine slaves, and the valley master will not agree to it, no matter how rich he is.
Shen Jiao is very patient with patients and doesn't get angry easily.
But he is mentally ill.
The first time they met, he used his cold folding fan to stroke her face, lifted her chin, and knocked her head, as if he was checking whether a melon was ripe.
The butler said nonchalantly, "Medicine slave? That's a new thing. How do you use it? Eat her flesh or drink her blood?"
“This…this…”
The butler was sweating profusely after hearing his question.
Shen Jiao glared at him in her heart: What an ignorant thing.
She is a drug slave, not a drug, so she is naturally not meant to be taken.
It is usually used externally. The herbal fragrance on her body can calm people down, soothe the nerves and calm the nerves. Her spiritual power can relieve pain and regulate the body. She is born with an affinity for plants, so rich people hire them. First, it shows off her status and wealth. Second, it is good for the body. Third, it can be used to test for poisons. Fourth, it is good for planting flowers and grass.
However, when it comes to curing illnesses, one still has to rely on doctors and take medicine. Being a drug addict is a way to death.
They can't heal illnesses, nor do they know martial arts. The only spiritual skills they have are things they can do to serve and please people.
The steward explained to the ignorant young man, who was quite disappointed: "I thought it was some rare and valuable thing, but it turns out to be a useless piece of trash. It's not worth spending all that money. The old man is really confused.
Sister, how about this: I'll send you back, you return the money to me, and I'll find someone else to cheat you out of it. 20/80 is fine."
He raised an eyebrow and spoke very seriously.
Shen Jiao blinked and asked seriously, "Why did you kill me, sir?"
If she goes back like this, death will be waiting for her, and there will be no possibility of getting her money back.
So he held back his anger and kept Shen Jiao.
I just don't like her at all. When she makes tea, I either think it's too cold or too hot. When she fan me, I either think it's too fast or too slow. When she massages my shoulders or legs, I either think it's too heavy or too light.
He said that ordering her around was asking for trouble.
At the same time, he ordered her around endlessly.
Shen Jiao didn't think anything of it. He was so angry that he became ill. He collapsed on the couch, clutching his stomach and crying out in pain. He was sweating profusely and curled up like a shrimp. He didn't forget to scold her: "You are a liar. You still say you are a drug slave. Why don't you heal me?"
"Sir, I can't cure illnesses, but I can help you feel better."
Xue Shun sneered: "The biggest relief is for you to stay away from me."
"Yes, I obey your command." Shen Jiao stood up and took a few steps back. Under his incredulous gaze, she walked out of the door without hesitation and found a place in the mansion as far away from him as possible.
He was still not satisfied, so he sent someone to find her and told her to go back.
The maid Jin Yu who came to see her also said with some blame: "What are you thinking? You actually left the master and left. Even if the master chased you away, you should have hired a doctor first."
"The master only told me to stay away from him, but he didn't say to call a doctor."
Jin Yu: ...
"Are you seeking revenge on him?" Jin Yu lowered her voice and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we're annoyed with him too. There are more than a dozen young masters in the village, but he's the most troublesome and the hardest to please. He's always snarling at people, and beating and forcing us to kneel is commonplace, almost as if it were several times a day. We were tortured by him before you came.
It's better to let him suffer a little now. He has always been like this. He yells a lot but nothing happens. He also likes to take his time when we ask the doctor to come.
When we get back later, I'll tell you that you went to invite him, but got lost. He's feeling unwell and doesn't have the energy to argue. He'll just curse a few times and that'll be it."
It is true.
Xue Shun lay on the couch with his head on his arms, too lazy to move a finger. He just called her a fool and told her to go and boil the medicine, and that was it.
Jin Yu secretly winked at her, as if to say: See, what I said.
It's never wrong to get along well with the people you work with.
Shen Jiao put on an expression of gratitude and secretly raised the corner of his mouth towards her.
Xue Shun, who was lying there, naturally couldn't see it. When the others saw it, they all exchanged meaningful glances with them. They didn't understand each other's meaning, but they had developed some kind of friendship inadvertently.
When Xue Shun took the medicine and felt a little better, he drove them out because there were too many people in the room. However, they gave Shen Jiao a look that said "May you be lucky."
It's indeed a matter of one's own luck. Ever since Shen Jiao came, Xue Shun rarely orders others around, so naturally, all the beatings and scoldings are borne by Shen Jiao.
Although he hasn't done anything yet, given his temper, it's only a matter of time.
Shen Jiao, as if unaware, leaned forward and asked, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"
Jin Yu, who was the last to leave, looked at her with sympathy.
As soon as he closed the door, he heard Xue Shun's angry roar from inside: "Do you have a brain? You need me to tell you everything. What do I need you for?"
He raised his hand and threw the teacup to the ground, then sat there glaring at Shen Jiao.
"Sir, calm down. I know I was wrong."
She still had that frightened expression, the obedient tone, and knelt submissively. No matter how many times, she didn't change at all. She was like a delicate dummy with a puppet talisman attached, and would only do what her master asked.
Who knows whether it is true or false?
Xue Shun was furious the moment he saw her. The pain that had subsided a little came flooding back, and his stomach churned as if a hand was twisting it. He collapsed powerlessly again. After enduring for a while, his throat tightened and he covered his lips and said, "Don't kneel anymore. I want to vomit..."
Before Shen Jiao handed him the spittoon, he vomited out the medicine he had just drunk, along with some undigested food, with a faint trace of blood in it.
Since it had already come to this, Shen Jiao put down the spittoon, handed him the tea, and told him to rinse his mouth. He then asked, "Do you want to see a doctor?"
"Bullshit, they're all liars, just like you."
He rinsed his mouth, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then threw it away and lay down with his back to Shen Jiao, without saying a word.
Shen Jiao covered him with the quilt, cleaned up the mess on the floor, and went back to making medicine.
Xue Shun didn't hear a word of comfort, only the sound of the door closing. He felt pain for a long time and fell asleep in a daze, only to be woken up by Shen Jiao again.
"Sir, drink the medicine before going to sleep."
"Did you poison it? Why are you so anxious for me to drink it?"
Just when he felt a little bit uncomfortable and woke up, Xue Shun didn't have the energy to be angry. He waved his hands impatiently and said,
"Get lost."
"yes."
Shen Jiao walked away immediately.
Xue Shun couldn't sleep and he started to get angry again.
What she hates most is this kind of obedient person. Others would at least give him some insincere advice for his own good, but she would not even say a perfunctory word to him.
False loyalty.
So hypocritical.
So much money wasted!
If it didn't hurt so much, he would have tortured her.
With the quilt covering his head, Xue Shun closed his eyes uneasily.
