Xue Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, don't you recognize me?" It seems that she has changed a lot in the past month. She met several people who knew the original owner and none of them recognized her.
Qin Mengjun took a closer look at her, then suddenly remembered someone and said, "Miss Xue?"
Look of amazement.
Xue Huan has really changed so much, it's like she has become a different person.
The girl who was so timid and weak before and even dared not look up at people, now became calm and generous, so bright and beautiful that it was hard to believe.
Xue Huan nodded: "That's me."
At this moment, Yuan Xi beside him suddenly spoke up: "Hanhuan, who is this?"
Xue Huan looked at him strangely and briefly introduced the two to each other.
Qin Mengjun bowed politely: "Brother Yuan."
Yuan Xi, however, was quite cold and reserved, and only nodded slightly.
It's just that his temperament as a superior is there, even if he appears a little arrogant and cold, it gives people a feeling that it is as it should be.
Xue Huan gestured to Qin Mengjun, "Mr. Qin, why don't we go to the teahouse and talk?"
Qin Mengjun guessed that she wanted to talk to him about something, so he readily agreed: "Okay."
The three of them went to the teahouse across from the pharmacy and ordered some tea and snacks. After the waiter left, Xue Huan got straight to the point: "Master Qin, thank you so much for saving me last time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xi's eyes darkened. Thinking of what had happened before, he had a guess in his mind.
Qin Mengjun said, "Miss Xue, you are too polite. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
Xue Huan shook her head: "Your little help has changed my life. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it." She handed over a wooden box, from which a faint medicinal fragrance emanated.
"this……"
"Open it and take a look." Xue Huan gestured to him.
As soon as Qin Mengjun opened it, his eyes widened. Inside the box was a plant of ground grass, which was very fresh and intact, as if it had just been picked from the soil.
"Miss Xue, this thank-you gift is exactly what I need, so I won't be polite with you. But how did you know that I happened to need Diluo grass?"
Xue Huan pointed to her eyes and said, "I can see that."
Qin Mengjun: "Oh?"
"To be honest, after you saved me last time, Xue Xiang became jealous and ran to the other courtyard to force me to jump into the well. However, after I jumped in, I survived the disaster and instead had a wonderful encounter. As for what the encounter was, I won't go into details here.
"Anyway, after this fortuitous encounter, I felt as if I had received divine instruction. I learned many things I didn't know before, and also mastered some skills, such as medicine. I could tell at a glance that you were poisoned, and the Diluo grass happened to be the antidote."
Qin Mengjun felt both guilty and emotional after hearing this. "They say those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. Miss Xue's life-or-death experience perfectly proves this saying. From now on, Miss Xue will surely live a peaceful and smooth life."
Xue Huan smiled and said, "I'll give you some good luck."
Xue family.
Seeing that it was getting dark and her son and daughter had not returned yet, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly sent someone out to call them home.
It’s okay if Tianjiao is a genius, sometimes he would stay out overnight just to have fun, but Xiang’er is a girl, how could she stay out so late and not come back?
The servants who had been sent out had not yet returned. The driver who had taken Xue Xiang to the farm outside the city came back with a look of shock on his face. "Hurry, hurry and tell the master and the mistress that the young lady has jumped into the well!"
Xue Jing and Madam Xue were both horrified when they heard the news.
"What happened? Why did Xiang'er jump into the well? Where is she?" Xue Jing asked the driver sternly.
The driver knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "I drove the young lady to the villa on the outskirts of the city. She asked me to wait outside and only took the maid with her. I waited outside for half the afternoon, but she still didn't come out. I was afraid that if I didn't go back, I would be too late, so I went in to take a look.
"Unexpectedly, the young lady's maid and the servants in the yard all fainted on the ground. I hurried to wake them up, but they didn't know what had happened. We quickly searched for the young lady's whereabouts and finally found her in the dry well in the backyard. The young lady, she has..."
Mrs. Xue felt dizzy and only Xue Jing, who was standing beside her, helped her up and saved her from falling. "Tell me, what happened to Xiang'er?"
There is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.
The driver lowered his head and said, "It's dead."
Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes and fell straight down.
Xue Jing's eyes went dark as well. Even though he was selfish and would kick his daughter away without hesitation when his own interests were hindered by her, it did not mean that he did not love his daughter, even though this love was pitifully little.
Just then, the butler came hurriedly and brought another devastating news.
"Master, the young master has been sent back by the people from Huazhi Building. His condition is very bad..."
Mrs. Xue, who had fainted, seemed to have heard this and woke up again with strength: "What happened to Tianzong?"
At this time, Xue Tianzong was carried in by a servant. His face was as pale as gold paper, blood was flowing from his body, and he looked like he was dying.
When Xue Jing heard the housekeeper's report just now, he subconsciously thought that Xue Tianzong was in a bad condition because of overindulgence, but now it seems that he was clearly being overindulged by someone!
His son, Xue Jing, actually suffered such a great humiliation in the territory under his jurisdiction!
"Who did it! Who!" Xue Jing was furious, his eyes red.
Madam Xue threw herself on Xue Tianzong in despair, "Son, who the hell did this to you? Master, you must avenge Tianzong!"
The couple's attention was focused on their enemy, and the housekeeper reminded them, "Master, do you want to call a doctor?"
Xue Jing shouted, "Of course! What are you still standing there for? Go get the doctor!"
The housekeeper hurried over.
The Xue family had two legitimate children. The daughter was suspected to have died by jumping into a well, and the son was slept with in a brothel by a group of his usual friends. For a period of time afterwards, the Xue family was in great chaos.
However, even though both of his legitimate sons died, Xue Jing still did not forget to plot and scheme, and did not give up on having one of his daughters replace Xue Huan as the Crown Princess.
After thinking about it for a few days, Eunuch Cheng could not resist the temptation of getting promoted and getting a raise to become the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, so he agreed to go along with Xue Jing, and the two became birds of the same feather.
The person chosen by the two was the third young lady Xue Wan.
Although Xue Wan's appearance was not outstanding, it was not bad either. She was a pretty and graceful little beauty. More importantly, she was very talented and had a gentle and calm temperament. She did not look like a concubine's daughter at all, but rather like a legitimate daughter who was carefully brought up.
Xue Jing and Eunuch Cheng were both quite satisfied with her.
So, after staying in Pengcheng for more than half a month, Eunuch Cheng picked up "Xue Huan" who was raised in the Xue family, bid farewell to the Xue family, and set off back to the capital.
Unfortunately, Xue Jing and Eunuch Cheng’s sweet dream was shattered by the sudden appearance of Xue Huan before they could even last half a day.
