The north wind was howling as a carriage loaded with goods stopped in front of the gate of the 'Chen Mansion'. The master walked out of the carriage and then turned around to help a girl wearing a felt hat to get out.
The guard opened the door, and the master immediately and carefully led the girl into the Shen family's house, and the door was closed again.
In Fangfei Garden, Xihe finished drinking the goat's milk and lazily lay on the couch reading a travel book, when she heard the maid come to report that the master had arrived.
"Didn't they say it would take another half month to arrive?"
"I don't know, but the master brought a girl with him this time, and she is sitting in the mistress's yard now." The maid said as she dressed Xihe.
Xihe paused: "Girl?"
The maid leaned over and put the sachet on her: "Yes, Miss."
The wind was blowing bitterly outside. Xihe, wearing a thick cloak, went to the main courtyard with two maids. As soon as she entered, she heard a strange laugh, as sweet as a silver bell.
The maid lifted the curtain, Xihe walked in, and saw the woman sitting at the bottom.
In the cold winter, she wore a thin red dress embroidered with five poisonous insects. Her nails were black and purple, and strange patterns were painted on her pale face.
Two words popped up in Xihe's mind: Miaojiang.
Sure enough, after the two sides exchanged greetings, the master introduced that the woman was indeed from Miaojiang and came to Beijing to seek medical treatment.
"Treatment?"
Xihe and Mrs. Shen looked at each other.
The master looked at Xihe, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xihe blinked and understood.
In the evening, Master Shen returned home. After dinner, the group went to Master Shen's study.
As soon as the study door was closed, the Miao woman staggered and fell to her knees in an instant. The pattern on her face instantly spread to her entire face, and she spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Miss Yue!"
The master exclaimed, then turned and looked at Song Qianru anxiously.
Master Shen Er patted Song Qianru on the shoulder and motioned him to go and take a look.
Song Qianru pinched his nose and leaned over to take a look, and the next moment, his brows furrowed.
The master was so nervous that he held his breath.
Song Qianru stretched out his hand and placed it on the top of Miss Yue's head. He turned his wrist slightly, and instantly a faint light surged out from his palm, gradually enveloping her entire body.
Miss Yue's brows gradually relaxed, the lines on her face gradually faded away, and her cheeks became rosy.
"Miss Yue, is there anything else?"
As soon as Song Qianru put down his hand, the master asked anxiously.
Song Qianru shook his head: "It's just evil spirits entering the body, it will be fine once they are dispelled."
The master immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The servants came in and helped Miss Yue to the guest house to rest. The master then told her the whole story.
It turned out that they had accidentally offended the local village chief while going to southern Xinjiang to collect goods. He detained them and their goods, and only three of them escaped. They had been searching for a way to rescue them and retrieve the goods. By chance, they encountered a group of Miss Yue's people being attacked. They went to rescue them and formed a good relationship with them.
"That village is extremely strange. Miss Yue accidentally entered their forbidden area while rescuing someone, and that's why her face looks like this."
The Master still felt horrified when he recalled the scene. He looked at Song Qianru and said, "There were government items in that shipment, so we had to take them. Miss Yue has been very kind to us, and I thought Young Master Song was very capable, so I brought her to the capital... Young Master Song, today is truly thanks to you."
Second Master Shen treated Song Qianru like a child, but the eldest master and others did not dare to do so.
They respect ghosts and gods, and respect heaven and earth. Although Song Qianru has a simple and harmless temperament, they dare not neglect him.
