Kill me if you can (3)

"Dad, we should quickly sell off this maid who can't tell the difference between the primary and the secondary," Shen Tang uttered cold words from her small mouth, looking at the maid with eyes full of coldness.

"After all, she can bully me, but who knows if she will bully someone else next time?" Although Shen Tang did not point it out explicitly, she believed that this cheap father could still hear it.

Keeping this maid would only be a threat to her father and her current step-sister.

It was not until this moment that the maid realized that the girl in front of her was no longer the ignorant girl who allowed herself to be bullied. The girl looked at her with eyes full of disdain and contempt. The cold gaze seemed to tell her, who do you think you are?

"Miss, Miss, please let me go. In the future, I will work like a slave for you. I will do whatever you say!" Seeing that the initiative was in Shen Tang's hands, the maid knelt down in the direction of Shen Tang in panic. However, the girl just stared at her coldly, and a smile that made people feel cold all over slowly appeared at the corners of her lips.

"Too late," the girl's lips conveyed these two words clearly, and then she turned around and pulled her legs away from the maid's hands.

Looking at the red mark on the slender white calf, Shen Tang looked at his cheap father aggrievedly, "Dad, look, she has left a red mark on my leg."

After all, he was the head of the Medicine Pavilion. No matter what, he would not watch his daughter being treated like this. His face immediately darkened and he slapped the maid hard in the face, causing half of her face to swell up and making it difficult for her to speak.

"Master!" But this time, before the maid could beg for mercy, the head of the Medicine Pavilion ordered people to drag the maid away. Not long after, Shen Tang heard the screams of a pig being slaughtered coming from the courtyard, and she felt much happier. She had been bullied for so many years in secret, so what was the debt she was asking for?

The old master of the Medicine Pavilion turned his head to look at Shen Tang, but his face was full of shame. He stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's head, but just as his fingers were in the air, Shen Tang subconsciously took a half step back. He looked at his daughter's indifferent eyes, and his palm stayed in the air for a while.

"Ah, it's Dad who is sorry for you." The head of the Medicine Pavilion seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and the raised hand finally fell down, and his eyes could not help but avoid Shen Tang's sight. Tang Tang and Xiao Mo were both his daughters, but he dragged both daughters into the water for the Medicine Pavilion he built.

He had been focusing on Xiao Mo for a long time, so much so that he neglected his sickly little daughter. He had initially let Tangtang live far away from the main house because of her frail body, but he didn't expect that these servants would be so bold and take advantage of his infrequent visit to bully his little daughter. What kind of life did Tangtang live when he didn't pay attention to her, to make her step back in fear even when she saw her biological father?

The more the head of Yaoge thought about it, the more he felt that he was not a human being, and his eyes turned red. However, he didn't know that Shen Tang just didn't like strangers getting too close to him, so he instinctively took a half step back.

"My dear, you have suffered a lot these years."

Shen Tang looked at the old pavilion master in front of her crying and the corners of her mouth twitched. These words should have been said to the former Jiang Jiutang long ago. Now that she occupied Jiang Jiutang's body, it was useless to say these words to her.

"Dad, stop talking." The pale-faced girl looked at the old man in front of her quietly with her watery eyes. "I know the reason you came here is to ask me to take over the management of the pharmacy for a few days instead of my sister."

If Jiang Mo had not gone on this journey, how could the head of Medicine Pavilion think of his little daughter? Jiang Jiutang and Jiang Mo look so similar, but driven by interests, the heart of this cheap father will eventually move to Jiang Mo's side. Shen Tang does not think Jiang Mo is so happy. After all, she took over Jiang Mo's identity in the last mission. In her opinion, these two are just pawns of the head of Medicine Pavilion. Whether it is the eldest daughter or the second daughter, the two have been forced to learn how to manage Medicine Pavilion since they were born. Although Jiang Mo has received more attention, the dangers he encounters are also several times that of Jiang Jiutang.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang quietly lowered his head, and opened his red lips softly, "Since my sister is away, I have made preparations to temporarily manage the medicine pavilion, so you don't have to worry."

The head of the Medicine Pavilion looked down at his daughter who was sitting on the chair. Her long dark eyelashes trembled slightly, her thin arms were tightly pressed against her body, and from time to time she looked out the window at the falling snowflakes with eyes full of envy. His heart couldn't help but ache a little.

After all, she is his daughter.

"Tangtang, are you feeling better? Do you want to rest for a while longer?" The head of the medicine pavilion asked cautiously, but the girl gave a calm answer.

"Dad, even if I am not fully recovered, you will not give up the idea of ​​letting me take over my sister's place. In that case, is there any meaning in asking this question?"

Shen Tang slowly stood up, found a tattered cloak and put it on, then walked slowly to the window.

"Send someone to bring the clothes. I've already done the makeup. You can just send someone to bring the clothes." She said calmly, glancing at the other person. "I'm no worse than my elder sister in playing the role of the son of the medicine pavilion."

The head of the Medicine Pavilion hesitated for a long time, but could not say any words of comfort. Just as Shen Tang said, even if her illness was not completely cured, he would not give up the plan of letting her pretend. He did not know his daughter that well, but this daughter knew him better than he thought.

Shen Tang did not intend to waste any more time talking to this cheap old father. The effectiveness of the Strength Pill was limited, and she did not want to show her weakness in front of others. Yun Sheng's final mission this time was probably to assassinate the "son" of the master of Yao Pavilion, but Jiang Mo could not die. Unlike the previous mission, in the previous mission, she used the identity of Jiang Mo. Even though she died at the hands of the male protagonist later, she gave Yun Sheng the opportunity to assassinate her only after she had completed all the things that Jiang Mo should do as a character.

But this time, she couldn't let Jiang Mo die. Since the ultimate goal of the mission was to make the hero obtain extraordinary status, she couldn't let Jiang Mo die at the hands of Yun Sheng. Although she didn't have much contact with the hero Yun Sheng in the last mission, she clearly knew that he was a member of Qianji Pavilion. At that time, she had done what she should do, so it was not a problem for her to die at the hands of Yun Sheng. But before Yun Sheng became the head of Qianji Pavilion, the old head of the Pavilion always stood on the side of Prince Murong Wu.

Qianji Pavilion belongs to the Jianghu forces, but the old Pavilion Master of Qianji Pavilion has been connected with the royal family for a long time. If he is allowed to act, not only Qianji Pavilion, but more and more Jianghu forces will be forced to be involved in the court struggle. Whether Yun Sheng can become the Pavilion Master at that time is one thing, and whether she can act in front of Murong Wu, who is narrow-minded and has no idea of ​​governing the country, is also a problem. In order to avoid this situation, she must do something.

It was also because of the incompetence of the crown prince that Yaoge had always stood on the side of the third prince Murong Jin, a strong contender for the throne. If Jiang Mo died at the hands of Yun Sheng in advance, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to the third prince's faction, and she couldn't just let Yun Sheng take action against Jiang Mo. Otherwise, if Murong Wu took the throne, the court forces would not only not stop, but would also reach out to the forces in the martial arts world.

Now that she has become Jiang Jiutang, who looks the same as Jiang Mo, she will be the one to take the place of the current eldest sister and avoid Yun Sheng's attack.

Shen Tang looked at his cheap father standing at the door, and the two of them stood there for a long time, until the new maid outside brought the clothes, and then the cheap father walked out the door.

The new maid may have seen the appearance of the maid who was beaten and breathing weakly at the door. She held the new clothes like a taut bow and looked at the seldom seen girl in front of her cautiously, fearing that she would be angry and make her taste the family punishment.

"Why are you so nervous?" Shen Tangrao glanced at the new maid with interest. "Why, are you so afraid that I will eat you?"

After saying that, she shook her body deliberately to scare people, but she really frightened the new maid in front of her, and she stood there like a stone. Seeing this, Shen Tang stopped teasing her, but took the new clothes from her and put them on one by one. Finally, she took back her snow-white fox fur from the shelf, and walked out lazily after feeling the warmth all over her body.

"What are you standing there for?"

The new maid stared blankly at the handsome Shen Tang in front of her. She was wearing a furry fox fur coat over an ivory-white crane-patterned robe, and her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful. She was no worse than Jiang Mo in playing a young man, and even better. Perhaps because of her aloof temperament, the maid felt a sense of pride, extraordinary dignity, and full of pressure just by the other person walking by her. If you don't investigate it thoroughly, you can't tell that the person in front of you is actually a woman.

The new maid came to her senses and responded hurriedly twice, then lowered her head and followed Shen Tang towards the door.

Father Jiang didn't react until Shen Tang walked a few steps out of the door. He was just wondering how a handsome young man walked out of his little daughter's room, and then he suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him.

"Tangtang?" The head of the Medicine Pavilion never thought that the appearance of his little daughter, whom he rarely let dress up, would actually be more in line with the appearance of a teenager than that of his eldest daughter when she dressed as a man.

Although Shen Tang took the strength pill, it was only to keep his body's strength able to be mobilized freely, but his weak body still couldn't adapt to the surrounding environment. Snowflakes fell heavily, and Shen Tang's snow-white face was soon stained with a layer of light red, and the tip of his nose was even pink like powder.

She coughed a few times subconsciously, and only then did she bring her cheap father back to his senses.

"You and Xiao Mo are really like your mother," the head of Yaoge sighed and patted Shen Tang's shoulder gently, "Come with me. Now that Xiao Mo is not here, it's time for you to understand the existence of Yaoge. Before she comes back, there are many things that need to be handled by you."
