"Ouch!" The mother-in-law was in pain, "Which thing doesn't know whether to live or die?" ”

She turned her head and saw that it was Chu Ruxuan, and said in a weird manner: "Why did the fourth young lady come here?" ”

"Why can't I come?" Chu Ruxuan kicked her mother-in-law's chest, her mother-in-law was bloated, and she immediately fell backwards. Chu Ruxuan snatched the horsewhip from her hand and threw it at her.

The mother-in-law raised her hand to protect her face, and roared at Chu Ruxuan fiercely: "Fourth Miss, the old slave is in charge of the backyard on the orders of the lady, but he taught a lazy slave, you beat the old slave, you are slapping the lady's face." ”

"So what, Huiyue is my person, and when you hit Huiyue, you are slapping me in the face. If you hit me in the face, I'm going to hit me back!" ”

Chu Ruxuan whipped her mother-in-law, threw down the whip and glanced at her: "If you dare to be so rampant and abuse others at will, if you beat them a few times, I will find it back on you tenfold." ”

The mother-in-law was taught a lesson, and her arrogance disappeared a lot, although there was unwillingness in her eyes, she didn't dare to speak disrespectfully to Chu Ruxuan again.

Bringing Huiyue back to the backyard, seeing that the Rinqiu Courtyard, which had fallen into disrepair when she left, became even more dilapidated, Huiyue had tears in her eyes: "Miss, you have suffered. ”

Although the person in front of him and himself were just strangers who had just met, they could probably sense the emotions left by the original owner, and Chu Ruxuan also had some sympathy for Huiyue.

She checked Huiyue's injuries and saw that her body was covered with dense bruises, and she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes: "It's because you suffered." ”

"The slave is fine, Miss today is willing to come to save the slave and the maid, no matter how much the slave suffers, it is worth it."

"Huiyue, do you know who my mother is and where she went?" There were still doubts about that rumor in her heart, and Chu Ruxuan couldn't help but ask after rubbing the medicinal wine on Huiyue.

Huiyue was stunned for a moment, shook her head with red eyes: "The slave doesn't know, Grandma Sun may know a thing or two, but it's a pity that Grandma Sun is gone, and she hasn't explained a word to the slave." ”

The grandmother she said was a mother-in-law left by the original owner's biological mother, and if she was still there, she would only be forty years old. Chu Ruxuan basically had no impression of this person, she was still a croaking baby at that time: "She is...... Why not? ”

Huiyue is twenty years old this year, a little older than Chu Ruxuan, and her memory is naturally clearer than hers: "Miss forgot? Also, how old was the young lady at that time. Mama Sun drank a cup of bitter almond tea one night and collapsed on the bed and passed out. The slave remembered clearly, her mouth and nose were full of blood, and it was clear that she had died of poisoning, but the white lady called two housekeepers, and before they could check, she wrapped her away with a straw mat. ”

Chu Ruxuan's fists clenched tightly, and Huiyue's grief was also dyed with a bit of sadness.

In this arbitrary and arbitrary world, can the Bai family be so careless about people's lives?

Huiyue stood up and rummaged through an old cage for a long time before she found something: "This is what Grandma Sun explained, and when Miss grows up, let the slave maid hand over to Miss." ”

Chu Ruxuan took it and saw that it was a wooden red lacquer box, the box had long been mottled and faded, and the delicate and complex patterns on it could be vaguely seen. She opened the bronze lock and saw a jade pendant, a medical book, and a dagger inside.

The red silk tied to the jade pendant is already old, but after a few rubs, this jade pendant still shows a warm luster. Chu Ruxuan carefully identified it, and saw that there seemed to be a bird with wings spread on it, or was it Luan Feng?

As for the dagger, it was short and delicate, with a stack of red and yellow gems embedded in the hilt, and the scabbard was engraved with a phoenix and clouds. Chu Ruxuan chuckled in her heart, even if she didn't know the goods, she knew that these must not be vulgar things. The blade glowed with a cold light in the light, and with a gentle send, the iron was sharpened like clay.

The biological mother of the original owner can have these things, and it seems that it is not very human.

Chu Ruxuan took the dagger and jade pendant into her arms, picked up the medical book and flipped through it. The characters of this era are not much different from traditional characters, and although they seem to be a bit difficult, they can be read carefully.

It is recorded in this medical book that quenching poison with chicken intestine grass, cucumber branches and other substances can make people's faces sores and fester. Chu Ruxuan looked at her face in the mirror, although she was frightened by this dignity at first, she had received more than ten years of modern medicine, and she knew a lot of doctor friends in the dermatology department.

This face is caused by the accumulation of too many acquired toxins, and as long as you take good care of the medicine, you can slowly recover.

Of course, it is unacceptable to wear this face all day long, Chu Ruxuan thought about it, integrated what she had learned with the records in this medical book, and wrote a long list of prescriptions.

"Huiyue, can you think of a way to find all the medicinal materials on it for me?"

Huiyue took the recipe over and asked in surprise, "Miss, is this a recipe for treating your face?" ”

"I'm just trying, after all, I don't know how long the toxins on my face have been in my body."

"The young lady was originally born white and lovely, but then she had a high fever, and rashes began to appear on her face intermittently, until more and more later, it became like this. The slave maid had wanted to find a doctor for the young lady at that time, but ......"

When the family lived in the countryside, they were very peaceful, but since Chu Zhenyang gave the official Jun Yuanhou to enter the mansion, he often fell ill, and this facial disease has also been since then.

She wanted to ask for a doctor for Chu Ruxuan, but she was beaten by the mother-in-law who guarded the door and rushed back.

She gradually saw through that there were people in this mansion who didn't want Chu Ruxuan's face to be cured at all. Since Grandma Sun went, she and the original owner in this autumn courtyard even said that the sky should not be called the earth and the earth, only to be tortured.

Without looking at the look on her face, Chu Ruxuan could also guess who was the obstruction, and held her hand: "Don't worry, no one will be able to bully us like this in the future." ”

Each courtyard of the Hou Mansion has its own small kitchen, only the Linqiu Courtyard does not have it, and it uses a large stove with the kitchen in the backyard. In other words, what the rough servants in the backyard eat, Chu Ruxuan will eat.

When lunch was delivered, Chu Ruxuan couldn't help frowning when she saw the tofu pickles with little water in the clear soup.

I don't even eat this thing for pigs! No wonder the original owner is skinny.

"Meow ......" a yellow wild cat scurried down from the beam, this autumn courtyard is depressed and has few people, and it has also become a place for many wild cats and wild dogs. It was so bold that it jumped on the table and licked its tongue into the bowl of tofu soup.

As soon as Hui Yue wanted to reach out and drink, the wild cat had already buried her head in the bowl and drank happily, and after being driven away, she obediently jumped down.

This tofu soup is Chu Ruxuan's, Huiyue only has two thick noodles and steamed buns, she said distressedly: "Miss, this animal has ruined your soup, you ......"

Before the words fell, a terrible hiss suddenly sounded, and when the master and servant looked back, the yellow cat had fallen to the ground and convulsed. It foamed at the mouth and its green eyes protruded, and it quickly became a dead corpse.

Huiyue changed color in shock, and said hatefully: "Miss, this soup is poisonous!" They are so bold that they dare to harm people's lives in broad daylight. ”

Chu Ruxuan sat on the chair, her face sinking cold. After a pause, she suddenly picked up the bowl of tofu soup and drank it all.
