Chapter 165: line with translation. Then ===GLOSSARY=== line with the list

In a dark, windowless basement, a black‑robed man with a twisted, scar‑covered face wore a sinister smile upon learning that Su Ruo had been driven out.

He said with a fierce gaze: "Su Ruo, one day I will take everything from you."

Su Ruo stayed at Si Yannian's for three days before going to school, in order to cooperate with her master's act and avoid arousing suspicion.

But the moment she appeared on campus, she instantly drew everyone's gaze; many people pointed and jeered at her.

It seemed as if overnight, the news that Su Ruo had been expelled by her master spread throughout the entire campus.

Su Ruo had been expelled by her master spread throughout the entire campus.

【6】 Su Ruo knew that even if her master truly intended to expel her, he would not make such a public spectacle to embarrass her.

It seems the person behind the scenes can no longer restrain himself and is eager to strike at her.

But despite those people's strange looks, Su Ruo continued to go to school and return home as usual, unaffected, until the day Ji Linye came to see her.

Although the master had strictly forbidden anyone from seeking Su Ruo or having any contact with her, Ji Linye could no longer bear it; if this continued, he would feel stifled to death.

This time Ji Linye came to see Su Ruo, first because he was worried that after being driven out by her master, she was feeling upset and wanted to comfort her.

Seeing that Su Ruo was doing well and unaffected, he felt relieved, then he could not help but vent his grievances to her.

"Junior Sister, you don't know that since you left the Medicine Hall, the atmosphere there has become very strange—not only does the master wear a stern face every day, but even the mistress and Guihua have become…"

Ji Linye's facial muscles were tightly knotted together, as if he did not know how to describe it.

Upon hearing Guihua's name, Su Ruo's eyes instantly turned sharp: "What happened to Guihua?"

Ji Linye looked at Su Ruo, wanting to speak but hesitating; he originally did not believe Su Ruo's words that day about the Witchcraft Technique.

After all, he is a doctor, and the education he has received since childhood has been firmly materialist; but recently, the relationship between the mistress and Guihua has indeed become very strange.

But exactly what is strange, he cannot specify; if he had to say, it is that the mistress listens to Guihua almost to the point of obeying her every word.

Guihua's current behavior is nothing like a servant; she is more like a mistress, controlling everything the mistress does—when she gets up, when she goes to bed, even how many bowls of rice she eats.

And the mistress almost unconditionally obeys every command from Guihua, behaving like an emotionless robot.

If it were only these things, Ji Linye could still explain them by the mistress's lack of mental capacity.

But the closeness between Guihua and the mistress seems too intimate; their manner of interaction even makes Ji Linye feel strange.

Once, while Guihua and the mistress were cooking in the kitchen, he, being very hungry, entered the kitchen looking for something to eat, only to find the mistress's clothes in disarray and Guihua's expression visibly panicked.

Ji Linye told these doubts to the Senior Brother, but the Senior Brother thought he was overthinking—after all, Guihua is just a woman; what could she do to the mistress?

Moreover, Guihua takes care of the mistress all day, and it is normal for the mistress to be a bit close to her.

But Ji Linye's doubts in his heart were not dispelled at all; once a seed of suspicion is planted, it can never be eliminated.

Ji Linye had endured for several days, but today he could no longer hold back; even though the master forbade it, he still came to see Su Ruo, feeling that the Junior Sister had always been clever and might think of something he could not.

But Su Ruo is still young, and there are some things he did not explain too clearly.

But this was enough; upon hearing Ji Linye's words, Su Ruo's eyes instantly turned sharp.

Although Su Ruo does not know the master's specific plan, she knows that Guihua's presence beside the mistress every minute puts the mistress in great danger.

Seeing Su Ruo's sudden change of expression, Ji Linye also felt tense: "Junior Sister, what's wrong? Could Guihua really have a problem? Is she plotting against the mistress?"

Although Ji Linye admits that the mistress is indeed beautiful—even after ten years in a coma, her beauty remains undiminished, the kind that could outshine all flowers on the street—but it's not to the point of being universally appealing, right?

"Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it." Su Ruo said this and then quickly left.

Left behind, Ji Linye stood there at a loss, his mind completely tangled, not knowing what to do.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Ruo's mind; if she did nothing, she feared the mistress would be in danger.

But if she acted rashly, she feared she would ruin the master's plan.

Su Ruo suddenly found herself in a dilemma, not knowing what to do; at that moment, Si Yannian found her.

Si Yannian told Su Ruo that Guihua's identity was genuine—she really was an ordinary rural woman from East Province.

At the beginning of this year, she indeed lost her husband and son in an accident, was driven out by her in-laws, and had no choice but to come alone to Jing City to seek relatives.

These things could be attested to by the villagers; there was no way to fake them. After Si Yannian finished speaking, he also produced a photograph. Although it was somewhat old, the person in the photo was unmistakably Guihua.

Su Ruo had originally thought that Guihua's identity was something she had fabricated to get close to the mistress, but she never expected that this identity was actually real, making everything all the more puzzling.

Seeing Su Ruo silent, Si Yannian did not disturb her; he simply stood beside her, quietly keeping her company.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ruo's gaze gradually became firm. Regardless of whether Guihua's identity was true or false, and regardless of what the master's plan was, she absolutely could not stand by and watch the mistress fall into danger.

Having made up her mind, Su Ruo immediately called out in her mind to 001: "Is there any way you can let me see at all times what happens to the mistress?"

001 immediately said obsequiously: "If the Host needs it, I can activate the Real-time Monitoring Tracking Function for you, at a cost of 100 points per hour."

Su Ruo's mouth twitched; 001 really was asking for a lion's share, but fortunately she had enough points, and in her heart nothing was more important than the mistress's safety.

So, Su Ruo chose to redeem it without hesitation, and in the days that followed she repeatedly felt grateful for her decision at that moment.

After Su Ruo clicked to agree, the system immediately deducted her points and switched the screen to the mistress's view.

At that moment the mistress was having a meal together with the master, the senior martial brother, and Guihua, and everything appeared quite normal.

But Su Ruo noticed that, after just a few days apart, the master seemed to have aged considerably, and his eyes revealed an exhaustion he could not conceal.

Seeing the master like that, Su Ruo felt a pang of heartache, and then she turned her gaze to Guihua and the mistress.

Her observation lasted several hours, from dawn to dusk; to outsiders it looked as if she had fallen asleep.

Si Yannian continued to stand guard over Su Ruo in silence, without disturbing her.

After seeing that, once they had finished dinner, Guihua took the mistress into a room; the moment the door closed, Guihua lost her former kindly expression, reached out, and slapped the mistress hard across the face.

no.

no.
