"You good-for-nothing? You really think you're some kind of prostitute? I skimped on the ingredients, what can you do to me?" Xiaoyu rolled her eyes dismissively.
"Heh~"
It seems that the maid deserves a lot of credit for the original owner's frequent hunger.
"Get out of my way! I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. Don't keep me from eating!" Saying this, she deliberately carried the food past Ji Jiuying, certain that Ji Jiuying would not dare to utter a word as usual.
Ji Jiuying's eyes turned slightly cold. Since you're in such a hurry to eat, I'll grant your wish.
Ji Jiuying turned around and kicked Xiaoyu. Before Xiaoyu could react, she staggered and knelt on the ground, spilling the food from her plate in front of her.
Just as Xiaoyu was about to yell and curse, Ji Jiuying grabbed her head and pressed it down onto the pile of rice.
"Aren't you in a hurry to eat? Go ahead and eat."
Xiaoyu's face was covered in dirty food scraps from the ground. She tried to resist, but Ji Jiuying stepped on her and she couldn't move. She suddenly realized that this good-for-nothing was different from before. She didn't know whether to beg for mercy or continue to resist.
"I told you to eat, don't you understand? Huh?"
"Give it to me!" Ji Jiuying roared, stepping on Xiaoyu's hand and increasing the force, making a cracking sound as if bones were breaking.
"Ah~ I'll eat it, I'll eat it, miss, have mercy!"
Xiaoyu grabbed the food from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth. With her hand broken, she would be useless. She knew that the second young lady was just using her as a pawn and wouldn't use a lot of resources to repair her hand. The general's mansion wouldn't want a useless servant with a broken hand. Being kicked out of the mansion and left with no one to rely on would only make her more miserable.
She's a master of flattery and opportunism, and today, she's clearly misjudged people.
Seeing that Xiaoyu was vomiting from eating the food on the ground, Ji Jiuying let her go.
“I don’t care what benefits others gave you in the past that made you withhold ingredients from Pear Garden, but remember this: this is the last time. I want to see Pear Garden’s ingredients delivered in half an hour. If they are not delivered by then, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Ji Jiuying looked at her, a half-smile playing on her deep eyes.
"Yes, I remember. I'll go deliver the ingredients right away."
Xiaoyu couldn't help but shiver. She couldn't understand how this good-for-nothing could have such an amazing change. After saying that, she scrambled away.
"What? You're saying Yan'er was beaten by that good-for-nothing?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhou Shi, looking incredulous, stepped forward and slapped Xiao Tao across the face. Poor Xiao Tao had already been injured by Ji Jiuying, and now she was slapped by Zhou Shi; she was extremely aggrieved.
"Madam, everything I said is true. The injuries on my body were inflicted by that good-for-nothing. Madam, there's no time to explain. The Second Miss is crying and begging you to send her the Snow Beauty Cream. If it gets any later, her face will really..." Xiao Tao didn't dare to finish her sentence and said in a sobbing voice.
Zhou knew her own daughter's abilities well; it was always Yan'er who bullied that good-for-nothing, and she couldn't believe her genius daughter would be beaten by him. But hearing Xiao Tao's story, she couldn't help but worry about her precious daughter.
"Magpie, take the whitening cream from the drawer." Madam Zhou hurriedly ran towards the brothel.
Not far away, in Ji Fengyan's Qinglan Courtyard.
"Ah~ my face, my face! Ji Jiuying, if my face is ruined, I will cut you into a thousand pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Ji Fengyan looked at herself in the mirror and angrily picked up a vase and threw it on the ground. Her originally beautiful face was now red and swollen and had a ferocious expression, which ruined her beauty.
"Miss, calm down. Xiao Tao should be back soon! Once Madam brings the Snow White Cream, your face will be as beautiful as before." Aya comforted Ji Fengyan, but in reality, she was terrified. If the Second Miss went crazy, it would be the servants who would suffer.
As soon as Zhou reached the courtyard gate, she heard Yan'er shouting and cursing from inside, so she quickened her pace.
"Yan'er~ What happened?" When Zhou saw the mess in the room and Ji Fengyan's swollen face, she felt heartbroken.
"Mom~ My face, waaaaah~ Did you bring the whitening cream? Quickly put it on me." Ji Fengyan cried out as if she had seen a savior.
"Magpie, quickly apply the medicine to Yan'er," Zhou said anxiously.
"Yes, Madam." Magpie came over with the Snow White Cream.
"Yan'er, what exactly happened? Could it really be that good-for-nothing who injured her?" Madam Zhou was filled with doubt and wanted Yan'er to answer for herself.
Ji Fengyan endured the pain on her face and said, "Mother, I don't know where that good-for-nothing got the medicine. He sprinkled it on me, and my spiritual power actually dissipated."
"Even without using spiritual power, you couldn't possibly lose to that piece of trash, could you?"
"Mother, that good-for-nothing suddenly seems like a completely different person. He's agile, calm, and decisive. Except for his face, which is still the same as before, his whole aura is different." Ji Fengyan recalled Ji Jiuying's changes that morning.
"Could it be that her dead mother left behind some kind of pill formula?" Ji Fengyan suddenly exclaimed as if she had discovered something new.
Ji Jiuying's mother mysteriously disappeared after giving birth to her. Everyone thought she was dead, otherwise why didn't she come back to find Ji Jiuying and let her be bullied by others?
The Luoxiang Courtyard where Zhou Shi now lives was originally the Lanxi Courtyard of Ji Jiuying's mother, Feng Lan. The Lanxi Courtyard was the best courtyard in the mansion. Zhou Shi took a liking to it as soon as she entered the mansion. So, after her persistent pleading, Ji Chenyuan agreed to let Zhou Shi move to the Lanxi Courtyard and renamed it Luoxiang Garden.
“Impossible. I know better than anyone what’s in Luoxiang Courtyard, and that good-for-nothing has never been to Luoxiang Courtyard since I moved in,” Zhou replied confidently.
Wait a minute, Zhou Shi narrowed her eyes. She had heard the general say that the bitch was an alchemist. Could it be that the bitch really left behind a pill formula? You must know that a pill formula is extremely rare and expensive in the Cangming Continent.
It is said that next month the Imperial Preceptor will preside over the annual genius competition. The winner will receive a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom. Even more exciting is that the winner can also stay at the Imperial Preceptor's mansion and receive seven days of guidance from the Imperial Preceptor. Receiving guidance from the Imperial Preceptor is something that everyone dreams of.
Her son and daughter are both top talents on the capital's list of geniuses. If she could obtain these elixir formulas, she would have no trouble winning first place in next month's competition.
“Yan’er, your guess is not unreasonable, but you should focus on recovering from your injuries first. I will handle the pill formula,” Madam Zhou comforted her.
"I know, Mother, but you can't let this matter of my face go unresolved!" Ji Fengyan said fiercely.
“Your brother wrote a letter a few days ago saying he’s coming back. I bet he’ll be home in a couple of days. I’m sure he’ll get revenge for you then!” Zhou was quite proud of her son, Ji Rufeng.
Ji Rufeng was discovered to have three spiritual roots when he was five years old. He was spotted by the Grand Elder of Tianmen Mountain, who was passing through Cangyue Kingdom, and was taken in as his closed-door disciple.
The Wuji Sect, Tianmen Mountain, and Xingchen Academy are not under the jurisdiction of the three major countries, but they are all home to geniuses from the three major countries. Every year, countless people go there to enroll, but each country only has five spots. No matter how hard people try, they may not be able to squeeze in. Ji Rufeng is really lucky to have such an opportunity.
