Keeping such a man by her side would probably bring her countless troubles. She recalled the TV dramas she had watched, where ancient women would even fight over a handsome nerd out of jealousy. She didn't want to get involved in such disputes and bring herself unnecessary troubles.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue decisively ordered him to leave: "Then go away, I don't need you." After saying that, she turned around and no longer looked at Nangong Jue, determined to keep her distance.

Nangong Jue saw the alienation in Jiang Xue's eyes. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. After saying thank you, he left Jiang Xue's courtyard.

Jiang Xue felt that Nangong Jue had left, and the Taoist auras hidden in the dark also disappeared with Nangong Jue's departure.

"I wonder what the identity of this man is, since he has secret guards following him?" Jiang Xue pondered as she watched the figure disappear in front of her window.

“Miss???” Cuizhu stood in the middle of the yard, her voice very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

She called softly while looking around out of the corner of her eye, appearing extremely cautious.

Jiang Xue was meditating in the house when she suddenly heard Cuizhu's voice coming from outside the door, and her heart couldn't help but move.

She slowly opened her eyes, stood up and walked towards the door. When she opened the door, she saw Cuizhu standing at the door.

However, what shocked Jiang Xue was that Cuizhu's originally pretty face was now covered with two deep palm marks, which were red and swollen.

Her eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and an uncontrollable anger surged in her heart.

"What's wrong with your face?" Jiang Xue stared at Cuizhu, her voice cold as ice and with a questioning tone.

Cuizhu hurriedly covered her injured cheek and stammered, "No... It's okay, Miss, I'm glad you're back!"

Her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to hide something, but she didn't dare to look at Jiang Xue for too long.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue became even angrier.

She knew very well that Cuizhu was always honest and would never be treated like this for no reason.

So, she stepped forward, grabbed Cuizhu's wrist, and said sternly: "Tell me, who hit you?"

At this moment, Jiang Xue exuded a chilling coldness, mixed with a burning anger. Her eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if she could see through the person in front of her.

It was the first time that Cuizhu saw Jiang Xue like this. At this moment, she looked like a judge crawling out of hell.

Cuizhu was so frightened that she quickly said, "Yes.....it's Madam!"

"They dared to touch my people without my consent. They must be tired of living." Jiang Xue's face showed a stern look.

Jiang Xue said as she took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve and handed it to Cui Zhu.

"Take out one of the pills here, put it in a bowl, add some water to make it thick, and apply it on your face."

"Take out another one and swallow it directly."

"The wound on your face will heal tomorrow!" Jiang Xue said to Cuizhu who was standing there in a daze.

"Miss, this...is this a pill?" Cuizhu's face was full of disbelief.

"How can her young lady afford the elixir?" She felt as if the bottle of elixir weighed a thousand pounds.

"Miss, it's too valuable. Please keep it. You may need it in the future. The wound on my face will heal in a while." Cuizhu was moved to tears when she saw Jiang Xue was so good to her.

"Don't worry, you can eat these pills as candy beans." Jiang Xue said while scratching her nose.

Cuizhu has followed the original owner since she was three years old and is very loyal to her. She is also willing to treat her as her own sister.

"Hehe... her young lady seems to have changed recently. The young lady used to never tell such a joke." Cuizhu thought a little embarrassedly when she heard Jiang Xue's words.

In the past, when the second young lady bullied her, she never fought back or responded, and was very timid and self-deprecating.

Now her young lady has not only become more beautiful, but her temperament has also changed. She likes her young lady very much now.

"After some time, if I have time, I will show you whether your physique can be cultivated. As my man, you cannot let others bully you without any strength." Jiang Xue said with some heartache as she looked at Cuizhu's red and swollen face.

"Um... um... thank you, miss!" Cuizhu felt that she had heard a lot of talking in her sleep today, and it was very unreal. She was a little overwhelmed.

"Cuizhu, apply the medicine first. I'll take you somewhere tonight!" Jiang Xue looked towards Shen Shi's courtyard and said.

So, Cuizhu opened the small medicine bottle that Jiang Xue gave her, and the rich fragrance of medicine instantly hit her nose.

"Miss, what grade of medicine is this?" Cuizhu asked curiously while looking at the bottle.

"It should be a fourth-grade one!" She also forgot that this kind of repair pill has the effect of reducing inflammation and swelling. As for its grade, she really didn't know.

She had been practicing with this since it was of low quality, because she had refined every quality of the existing ones in the medicine space pharmacy. So this kind of pill was the most common one from low quality to fifth quality.

"Miss, when I came back from Madam's yard, I seemed to see the second and third young ladies coming to Madam's yard. The second young lady was seriously injured." Cuizhu put a repair pill in her palm and said happily.

"Are you so happy that she's injured?" Jiang Xue sighed helplessly.

"That's natural. In the past, the second young lady often bullied you, young lady. Now she finally got her retribution." Cuizhu said, and put the pill in her palm into her mouth!

It melts in the mouth, and has a strong medicinal aroma. It tastes surprisingly sweet, like candy, and she suddenly feels her eyes light up!

"Miss, if I hadn't smelled the medicine, I would have thought that you gave me candy!" Cuizhu said, holding the pill tightly in her hand.

"Cuizhu, what are you doing in a daze? Go and crush the pill and apply it on your face." Jiang Xue looked at Cuizhu who was still smacking her lips and shook her head helplessly!

"Cuizhu is such a ignorant girl. She was so excited about these pills that she was stunned." Jiang Xue thought to herself that when she has nothing to do in the future, she will refine some body-strengthening pills for her to eat.

Jiang Xue sat cross-legged on the bed practicing, and the sky outside gradually became darker.

"Miss, please come out for dinner!" Cuizhu put the food on the stone table in the yard and shouted towards the house.

"Squeak!"

Jiang Xue opened the door from the inside and saw that the redness and swelling on Cuizhu's face had improved a lot.

She walked towards the green bamboo and came to the stone table. She looked at the food on the table and frowned unhappily!

"Are you sure we want to eat this?" Jiang Xue looked at a yellow rotten leaf in a bowl of soup on the table, as well as the smelly rice, and her eyes turned cold!

"Miss, this is the food we used to have!" Cuizhu said disappointedly.
