Chapter 28: Volume 1, Chapter 28: Old Madam invites

Glancing at Yun Yarou on the bed, Ye Lanjue's eyes were full of disgust, and the look he gave Yun Qiyue also carried a bit of gnashing teeth.

I don't know why, but Ye Lanjue spat out two words, "You first."

Yun Qiyue's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Didn't expect this flower thief to have such awareness.

"Thank you for letting me, if possible, I can provide you with medicine for excitement," Yun Qiyue said.

She had a kind of medicine that could help with excitement, but it could also make people impotent afterward.

After all, a flower thief was not a good profession, and she didn't know how many innocent girls had been harmed, so if possible, she still wanted to eliminate harm for innocent women.

But Yun Qiyue's words made Ye Lanjue's anger, which he had finally suppressed, rise again. Ye Lanjue felt that every time he was with this woman Yun Qiyue, he had to endure the urge to tear her apart.

"No need!" Ye Lanjue spat out these two words through gritted teeth, then flashed and disappeared before Yun Qiyue's eyes.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would really be unable to help but tear Yun Qiyue apart.

Seeing the flower thief leave, Yun Qiyue felt a bit regretful that "eliminating harm" failed, but she wasn't affected.

When her gaze turned to Yun Yarou, her eyes were deep and her expression cold.

"Pfft—" a sound.

The knife in Yun Qiyue's hand was inserted into Yun Yarou's chest very cleanly, at the same position where Yun Yarou had stabbed the original owner, but it was perfectly avoided by Yun Qiyue from the vital heart.

However, after the knife was inserted, no blood flowed out, because Yun Qiyue had already done something to the knife.

It was just that after the white knife went in, it was a red knife when it came out, and the wound was also bright red.

This scene was seen by Ye Lanjue, who flashed back but didn't reappear, and he couldn't help but frown.

He didn't quite understand what Yun Qiyue was doing, and felt that her coming here in the middle of the night wasn't as simple as assassinating Yun Yarou.

Ye Lanjue was right; Yun Qiyue really didn't come just to assassinate Yun Yarou.

Paying with one's life for killing was too cheap for some people.

Killing was just a point on the ground; to take revenge on someone, one should torture them bit by bit, which could achieve the best effect.

Thinking of this, Yun Qiyue slightly opened Yun Yarou's collar, took out a medicine box from her sleeve, and applied the ointment to Yun Yarou's wound.

Then, a magical thing happened.

The wound on Yun Yarou's chest miraculously recovered.

Looking at the wound without any trace, Ye Lanjue's eyes became deeper, but no one could see what he was thinking.

And Yun Qiyue, after doing this, didn't leave immediately but looked at Yun Yarou on the bed.

"All the pain you inflicted on this body of mine, I will pay back bit by bit," Yun Qiyue muttered.

This was one of the few things she could do for the original owner.

Although the wound healed on the surface, the injury inside was real and would be more painful than when the original owner was there, and it would be difficult to heal.

Even if a doctor came, it would be impossible to see the reason.

After saying this, Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Yarou's face.

Following the moonlight, she couldn't see clearly, but it didn't delay Yun Qiyue from sprinkling medicine powder on Yun Yarou's face.

She said that everything inflicted on the original owner would be returned by Yun Yarou.

So, how could she let Yun Yarou's face go?

Yun Yarou, from now on, your nightmare has come.

Yun Qiyue curled her lips and left with satisfaction...

The next morning, early.

The Marquis Mansion was in an uproar.

The Second Miss had come down with a strange illness.

It was said that her chest hurt, as if she had been stabbed by a knife, and the pain was so intense that she was rolling around on her bed.

However, the doctors hurriedly invited by the mansion could not find any cause at all. Finally, under pressure, they could only say that Yun Yarou's condition was caused by internal heat, because there was indeed a small red pimple on Yun Yarou's face.

Being as vain as Yun Yarou, she naturally could not allow a blemish on her face, so she immediately had the doctor prescribe medicine to reduce the heat.

When these things reached Yun Qiyue's ears through Sixue's mouth, Yun Qiyue laughed.

Medicine for internal heat and the like—the more you take it, the more heat you get. She was actually looking forward to seeing what Yun Yarou would look like in three days, only...

Yun Qiyue suddenly thought of that flower-picking thief from last night who hadn't appeared since; she wondered if he had picked the flower that was Yun Yarou.

At this moment, Sixue told Yun Qiyue another piece of news, "Miss, the Old Madam next door has returned."

The Old Furen?

Yun Qiyue frowned.

Her mind took a turn before she remembered who the Old Madam in Sixue's mouth was—wasn't it the one who had been a concubine of her grandfather and then elevated to a legitimate wife?

However, Yun Qiyue didn't care; after all, she wasn't her grandmother, so Yun Qiyue quickly threw this matter to the back of her mind.

Instead, after finishing breakfast, seeing the Purple Lingzhi that Qingyan had brought back, Yun Qiyue was in an excellent mood.

With the Purple Lingzhi as a medicinal guide, her face would soon be able to recover.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty; no woman is willing to live with a mottled face, and she was no exception.

Thus, after breakfast, Yun Qiyue ducked into her pharmacy and began to get busy.

By the time Yun Qiyue came out of the pharmacy, it was already the afternoon.

But before Yun Qiyue could use the finished product on her own face, someone came from next door.

"Third Miss, the Old Furen requests your presence." The person who came to invite her was an ordinary elderly maid. Perhaps because of the previous example of Zhao Mama, the person who came today was very polite to Yun Qiyue.

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue nodded and sent the person away.

Since an elder had issued an invitation, as a junior, she naturally had to go.

Finally, Yun Qiyue put away the newly made medicine and headed next door.

Before Yun Tian passed away, the original owner often went to the Old Furen's place, so she knew the way.

Not long after, Yun Qiyue arrived at the Old Furen's Songtao Courtyard.

It was already the hour of Si (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM), and the early summer sun was somewhat intense.

When Yun Qiyue arrived, Qing Mama, who was by the Old Furen's side, had already been waiting in the shade under the eaves. Seeing Yun Qiyue, she first sized her up, then immediately walked forward to salute: "This old servant greets the Third Miss."

The etiquette was in place, with no faults.

"Greetings, Mama." Yun Qiyue curled her lips at the maid, her eyes appearing very harmless.

Seeing this, Qing Mama said, "The Old Furen didn't sleep well while traveling yesterday, and today she was thinking of the Third Miss, so she got up too early. Just now, she couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep. I ask the Third Miss to wait outside for a while longer."

Yun Qiyue raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, looking at the maid with a somewhat mocking gaze, though it vanished in the blink of an eye, and she remained in her pure and harmless appearance.

But the maid felt quite uncomfortable being watched by Yun Qiyue, so she shifted her gaze slightly, not daring to meet Yun Qiyue's eyes.

"The Old Furen is getting on in years, so sleep is indeed very important." Yun Qiyue nodded in complete agreement, "I will just wait for the Old Furen to wake up."

Upon hearing this, Qing Mama breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Then I will trouble the Third Miss to wait a while longer."

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Yun Qiyue's eyes, but she said, "It is no trouble."

Seeing this, Qing Mama was just about to breathe a full sigh of relief when she saw Yun Qiyue turn around and walk away.

Seeing this, Qing Mama couldn't help but be startled. She hurriedly took two steps forward and blocked Yun Qiyue's path, "Didn't the Third Miss say she would wait for the Old Furen to wake up? Where are you going?"

Yun Qiyue stopped and looked back with an innocent face, "I said I would wait for the Old Furen to wake up, but I didn't say where I would wait. What are you in such a rush for, Mama?"

Hearing this, the expression on the maid's face became even more anxious.

The Old Furen had asked this Yun Qiyue to wait outside to give her a show of power, to let Yun Qiyue bake in the sun for a few hours so that she would learn to know her place.

But if she didn't wait here, how could this goal be achieved?
