Kill me if you can (2)

Xiao Fudai immediately explained the function of the item: "This item is called the Strength Pill, which can make your body full of strength for a period of time, but this pill also has certain side effects. Using it comes at the cost of your vitality for a long period of time in the future. It is equivalent to using up your body's vitality in advance, and after a period of time, your body will return to a weak state. Can you accept this?"

Xiao Fudai explained the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill very clearly, and Shen Tang naturally understood what he meant. This pill would allow her to use her body normally for a period of time, but once this period of time was over, she would also have to endure the price of dragging her sick body through every day for a long period of time.

Thinking about the fact that she had only stayed in this world for a week last time, Shen Tang felt that the side effects of this bottle of elixir might not take effect yet, so she had to leave this place first.

"That's it. I don't mind." Shen Tang closed her eyes and combed her slightly tangled hair, her fingertips running through her hair until she had combed her hair into a man's hairstyle. She also put some powder on her pale face to make herself look less weak. Although they were just small movements, Shen Tang felt extremely tired when she did them, as if she had carried several bags of rice in a day.

"Okay, host. I will deduct part of your mission bonus to buy the props," said Little Lucky Bag honestly. Fearing that Shen Tang would be unhappy, there was some caution in his voice. However, Shen Tang did not care that much about this part of the money.

It is true that she completed the task for the bonus, but the prerequisite is that she had to complete her own task first. How could she get the bonus if she didn't even complete the task?

"Just help me change it. Don't worry, I won't bear to see you deduct any more from the small bonus from your system," Shen Tang said with a smile, and the girl in the bronze mirror also smiled unconsciously.

The little lucky bag smiled embarrassedly, but after a while he exchanged the props and placed them on the dressing table facing Shen Tang.

When Shen Tang saw the small bottle on the table, he immediately took out the pill from the bottle, put a pill in his mouth, then stood up and walked to the small table in the room where there were water cups, poured himself a glass of water and drank it together.

The moment the pill went down her throat, perhaps it was a psychological effect, Shen Tang felt much better, and soon sat down next to the dressing mirror to draw her eyebrows. Whether it was Jiang Mo or Jiang Jiutang, they were both women after all. In order to prevent others from recognizing their identities, the owner of the Medicine Pavilion would give them special care on weekdays and not let strangers get close to them. Not to mention that Jiang Jiutang's body was weak to begin with, and she had to take three steps and breathe heavily every time she went out. The owner was afraid that something might go wrong with her, and would not let her go unless it was urgent.

If Jiang Mo hadn't been away from home, the head of the Medicine Pavilion wouldn't have asked Jiang Jiutang to pack up and go out. Women's appearance is easier to identify than men's, so Shen Tang had to spend some time on her makeup. Her eyebrows, which were originally as thin as willows, were made much thicker.

After struggling for a while, Shen Tang looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The makeup he wore was the same as the one Jiang Mohua had put on in the previous mission, so it should not attract anyone's attention.

"Host, go change your clothes quickly, there seems to be someone outside," Little Lucky Bag noticed the movement outside and immediately told everyone what he had discovered.

Shen Tang raised his lips lightly: "Don't worry, I get it."

Having said that, she stood up and walked to the huge and gorgeous closet. She opened the door with her slender fingers and glanced at the clothes inside.

"Oh, these servants are really bullying. I don't know how Jiang Jiutang can endure it. Almost all the good clothes have been taken away. The only ones left are thin and tattered clothes that are not practical."

Shen Tang, who was muttering while reaching out to touch the clothes in the closet, frowned deeply, and a sneer appeared on her fair face. Since they like to let their master wear torn clothes so much, she might as well wear them for those people to see. After all, it's not her face that will be lost.

The fact that Jiang Jiutang was ignored like this was closely related to her biological father, the Master of Yaoge.

Shen Tang, who had made up her mind, made the selection in the cabinet with an expressionless face. The former Jiang Jiutang might have reluctantly picked out a presentable piece of clothing from the tattered clothes to go out and meet people for the sake of so-called face, but she was not Shen Tang. She would wear the most tattered and worn clothes to go out and meet people, and also use the tone of her original self to hate those people.

"Host, is this outfit really okay for you?"

Little Lucky Bag hesitated as he looked at Shen Tang who had quickly changed his clothes and muttered, "Will the head of the Medicine Pavilion be so angry that he will hit you if you dress like this?"

The reason why Xiao Fudai said this was because Shen Tang's hair and facial makeup at this time were perfect, but he was wearing a tattered patched shirt, just like a beggar who changed his head but not his clothes.

"If he is really that capable, he should have beaten me to death earlier," Shen Tang snorted coldly, and then there was a knock on the door outside.

"Miss, the master is here to see you."

The person who spoke was a maid. Shen Tang was very familiar with the owner of this voice. In the previous world, this maid performed in front of her every day, and treated Jiang Jiutang more like a qualified personal maid. But it was not until now that she personally used Jiang Jiutang's identity that Shen Tang realized how outrageous her mistake was.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiutang had already lived this kind of life at that time. Shen Tang sighed slightly and opened the wooden door with both hands at the same time.

The moment the wooden door opened, the cold wind outside rushed into the house quickly, making Shen Xi shiver. If she hadn't taken the Qi Gathering Pill that Xiao Fudai gave her, she would probably have to lie on the hospital bed again, staring at the people coming in listlessly.

"Tangtang, how is your health?" The person who came was the unshaven-bearded owner of the Medicine Pavilion. He walked into the room while asking the maid to close the door quickly. The concern and thoughtfulness on his face did not seem fake.

"What's wrong with your clothes? I remember I asked someone to buy some beautiful clothes for your house a few days ago. Why are you still dressed like this?" The owner of Yaoge frowned when he saw Jiang Jiutang's clothes, and his horrifying eyes instantly looked at the maid beside him, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The maid was so overwhelmed by the man's aura that she immediately fell to her knees, but she still didn't give in. "Master, I don't know what's going on. I don't know why the young lady likes to wear tattered clothes. She said that wearing them reminds her of her mother and makes her feel safe. How can I dare to say anything more!"

Shen Tang watched coldly as the maid lied one after another, very fluently, obviously a habit. The other party took advantage of her not daring to tell the truth, so she dared to make up such a lie.

But now she is not the original Jiang Jiutang, she will not let the other party get away with it so easily.

Shen Tang lowered her head slightly, and her frail body began to tremble slightly. After a moment, tears rolled down her eyes.

"Dad, I'm so cold," the girl said, covering her thin clothes with her hands, her beautiful eyes full of fragility, looking like a picture of a pitiful beauty crying.

"I haven't worn beautiful clothes for a long time. Every time I see the maids wearing beautiful chrysanthemum embroidered dresses, I envy them." Shen Tang's grievances seemed to overflow from her small voice. Her red eyes made her look like a bullied innocent rabbit. "But I don't know why, the sisters always say that I have so many beautiful clothes in my closet but I don't wear them. They envy the clothes they wear all day long."

"Dad, is the dress I'm wearing really beautiful? This is the most beautiful dress my maid told me about!"

Shen Tang said the most horrifying words with the most innocent expression, shocking the maid who was full of lies for a moment.

How could the master of Yaoge not know what a chrysanthemum embroidered skirt is? This was the skirt he sent here some time ago, specially for his little daughter to wear. But now it seems that not only did his little daughter not get to wear the beautiful skirt, but she was also deceived by this group of slaves!

The man's face was as gloomy as a dark sky filled with dark clouds. He pointed at the maid who was talking nonsense and said several times, "This is how you treat your master, right?"

The master of Yaoge was not only angry that the slave girl bullied his daughter without him noticing it, but he was also furious that the slave girl ignored the rights between master and servant, not only bypassed her master but also rode directly on his face!

"Master, it's not like that. The young lady was just angry for a moment and talking nonsense. How dare I, a lowly servant, play with your beloved pearl like this?" The maid was smart. After Shen Tang exposed her actions, she did not admit it directly. Instead, she pushed all the blame onto Shen Tang. If Shen Tang had really suffered such a great injustice, why would she tell the truth only now?

The maid bet that she didn't dare to show her entire life to the master of Yaoge. Shen Tang raised her eyebrows. It was a pity. She was not the original self who allowed herself to be bullied. Even if she wanted to maintain her image, she couldn't watch her face being hit on the ground.

Before the maid could hold onto the legs of the owner of the medicine pavilion and cry, Shen Tang's shaky body was about to fall, and in an instant she fell towards the direction of the wardrobe. Shen Tang fell at a critical moment, and the door of the wardrobe, which was not closed tightly, opened with the collision of the girl's body, revealing the appearance inside.

"Tangtang!" The owner of the medicine pavilion grabbed his daughter's arm to prevent her from falling to the ground. He leaned over and saw the situation in the cabinet clearly.

The head of Yaoge helped his daughter to a chair nearby with a sullen face, then reached out to look at the tattered clothes in Shen Tang's closet one by one. The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.

"This is what you call taking good care of my daughter!"

The man dragged out all the tattered clothes heavily and threw them to the ground.

"Come here, I will punish you according to the family rules!"

The maid who heard the order from the master of Yaoge was so frightened that her face turned pale. She crawled to his feet crying and shouting, "Master, I will never dare to do it again. Please let me go!"

Shen Tang, who was sitting on a chair, looked expressionlessly at the maid who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "It seems that you still don't know who you are asking for forgiveness from."
