"I need to wash up, eat something, and then get a good night's sleep," Qian Youxue said calmly. Although her power had increased significantly last night, the intense alchemy had also exhausted her. She was both tired and hungry.
"Please wait a moment, Master." After accepting the order, Yunhe looked up at his master and noticed that his master's expression was not good. Thinking back to the situation last night, he felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he did not know how to say it.
Qian Youxue saw Yunhe pause for a moment, and probably guessed that Yunhe might have noticed that someone had come last night.
No wonder, Yunhe's cultivation level is above his own, it's impossible that he didn't notice anything. Perhaps the demon's medicine was too potent, leaving no trace, which is why Yunhe hesitated for so long without asking any further questions.
While Yunhe went to get busy, she turned and went into Lianxin's room. Lianxin was still fast asleep. Taking a deep breath as she entered, she roughly guessed what kind of sleeping potion someone had used. For someone like Lianxin who didn't cultivate, such a substance was enough to keep her asleep for a whole day and night.
He walked to the bedside, took out a porcelain bottle, unscrewed the cap, and waved it in front of Lianxin's nose. Lianxin suddenly opened her eyes.
Seeing that the young lady was sitting on the edge of the bed, she rubbed her eyes and realized that it was already broad daylight. She hurriedly sat up and said, "I'm sorry, young lady, I'll go prepare breakfast for you right away."
"It's alright. You've all been working hard these past few days. Come and have something to eat." Qian Youxue said, getting up and leaving the room.
Breakfast had just been set out on the stone table in the courtyard when an uninvited guest arrived.
After being reprimanded by Aunt Liu, Qian Yingxue was locked in the courtyard for two days. She finally managed to escape and came to Qian Youxue in a rage to seek revenge.
Upon entering the courtyard, Qian Yingxue saw Yunhe setting out bowls and chopsticks. She'd heard that ugly bastard had brought back a half-dead girl, but this girl didn't look injured at all.
snort!
She's just a maid; she's the fourth young lady. Why bother with her?
He took a step forward with his head held high and chest out. Behind him, the maid Xiaomian said in a low voice, somewhat fearfully, "Master, if Madam finds out you're here, I'm afraid..."
Snap!
Qian Yingxue slapped Xiaomian across the face. Xiaomian had already been beaten yesterday, and the bruises on her face were still there. This slap left a bruise on her lip.
Yunhe, who was absentmindedly thinking, turned her head to look at the doorway when she heard the voice, and for a moment she did not know who the person was.
Seeing that Yunhe was still standing there in a daze, Lianxin was afraid of offending the Fourth Miss and being punished, so she put down what she was holding and hurriedly stepped forward to bow: "This servant greets the Fourth Miss!"
Snap!
Qian Yingxue slapped Lianxin across the face and arrogantly walked up to Yunhe, saying sarcastically, "Where did you bring this wild girl back from? She doesn't even know a little manners!"
As she spoke, Qian Yingxue raised her hand to strike Yun He's face. However, Yun He was no pushover; not only did he prevent Qian Yingxue from succeeding, but he also grabbed Qian Yingxue's hand.
Sensing a powerful spiritual force, Qian Yingxue's face flashed with a hint of panic. However, the maid Xiao Mian, who had come with her, came to her senses and stepped forward to forcefully pry Yun He's hand away: "How dare you be so disrespectful to the Fourth Miss! Do you have a death wish?"
Taking advantage of Xiaomian's interference, Qian Yingxue came to her senses, pulled out a whip, and lashed it out at Yunhe with all her might.
Clap clap clap!
After failing to hit anyone with three consecutive lashes, Qian Yingxue's anger flared. Feeling utterly humiliated, she mustered all her strength and chased after Yunhe, lashing him several more times.
Lianxin was terrified, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly went into the room to wake up the young lady.
After a long night of exhaustion, Qian Youxue finally managed to get some sleep, and her morning grumpiness was quite severe. However, upon hearing the sound of whips outside, she knew something must have happened, so she quickly put on her clothes and ran out.
Upon going outside, she saw Qian Yingxue chasing Yunhe all over the yard. She couldn't help but smile with amusement, and calmly instructed the nervous Lianxin, "Go, pour me a pot of tea."
"Miss, Fourth Miss is quite ruthless, Sister Yunhe..." Lianxin watched in fear as the whip was about to strike Yunhe, her face showing deep worry.
