Close your eyes and savor it carefully.

It was a little astringent and bitter, and then there was a faint sweetness. Soon, she tasted the medicinal materials. The nine kinds of ginseng were all the best of the best, and there were snow lotus, tai sui, pearl as guides, and angelica, white angelica, poria, licorice and other auxiliary ingredients.

There are also some magical medicines that she cannot identify. You have to know that in such a strange world, herbs are not planted on a large scale, and most of them grow in the wild, so you can imagine how precious they are.

When the water had cooled down, she got up from the tub, dried herself, grabbed a piece of clothing from the space and put it on. These were three pieces of clothing sent by the Queen last time. She checked them and found nothing wrong with them.

She didn't want the old clothes that the maid prepared for her. Those were worn by her sisters, and she didn't know if they had skin diseases. The original owner liked them, but she didn't!

The next moment, footsteps were heard at the door, and the maid Nuxia opened the curtain and brought a bowl of Tremella soup...

Another maidservant, Ai Qiu, came in with her. She held two clean handkerchiefs in her hands. Nu Xia placed the soup in front of her and said, "Seventh Miss, this is what the eldest lady asked me to bring to you..."

Hua Jin, if someone is being too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

The Tremella soup in front of me tasted sweet and very tempting. I had just taken a shower and was indeed a little hungry.

He picked it up and smelled it to make sure there was nothing bad in it, then he took a big gulp. The warm soup went down his throat, washing away the bitterness in his mouth and temporarily solving his hunger problem.

"Thank you!" She placed the porcelain bowl on the dressing table and smiled at Nu Xia.

This sight made Nu Xia both shocked and frightened.

What surprised her was that Miss Seven actually thanked her, and what frightened her was that her face was so terrifying.

"Miss Qi, you are too polite. This is all my duty!"

After saying that, she stepped back and followed Le Dong who came in later to pack up her toiletries.

Ai Qiu then stepped forward, grabbed a clean handkerchief, and gently wiped her wet hair.

From beginning to end, the few people did not speak again except to greet her.

They are very afraid of the current Miss Seven.

I heard that before, the four sisters, Jinzhu, Yinzhu, Dazhu and Xiaozhu, were beaten by the seventh lady so badly that they couldn't even get up.

It is better for them to be cautious and protect themselves.

Hua Jianli had no mood to chat with them, but was just thinking about her own affairs. Her current father, Hua Tang, had a wife, four concubines, one son and eight daughters, in addition to her deceased mother and fifth aunt. Their children were ranked separately.

So she has one brother, six sisters and one sister.

The Prime Minister's wife, Shi, had one son and two daughters:

The eldest brother Hua Zirui, 19 years old, is Hua Jin’s biological brother and is currently studying at Hengshan Academy.

The eldest sister, Hua Jin, is eighteen years old and still unmarried. Because of her excellent conditions, she is still in the process of selecting a partner.

As for her second sister, she didn't know her name because she died at the age of two.

Second Aunt: She fled to the capital with her younger brother. She was spotted by Hua Tang and taken back to the mansion. She gave birth to the third sister Hua Yu and the fifth sister Hua Ying.

Hua Yu was a fool. She was betrothed to a farmer at the age of fifteen. It was called marriage, but to put it bluntly, it was just finding someone to take care of her for the rest of her life. Every year, the Prime Minister's Mansion would give that family a sum of money, no matter how that family treated her.

Hua Ying was looking for a husband because her uncle rose from a junior general in the army to a general of cavalry in just twelve years. Therefore, although Hua Ying was a concubine's daughter, her status in the mansion was second only to Hua Jin. Due to her deep love for her, the Second Aunt allowed her to grow freely, and she has grown to her current size of 140 pounds.

The Third Aunt: She is the biological mother of the Sixth Sister Hua Yun. She is the Third Aunt’s late-born son and the lifeblood of the family. Because she is quite pretty, she is very arrogant.

Fourth Concubine: Mo, the daughter of the Jinzhou County Magistrate, gave birth to the fourth sister Hua Qing. She should be the only daughter who has married normally so far, and the other party is the illegitimate son of the Minister of Personnel.

Fifth Aunt: Deceased, left behind a daughter, who is fourteen years old this year. She is a silly girl who often cannot tell the difference between her sisters and elders in the family. She is now being raised by the Fourth Aunt.

Sixth Aunt: The most beautiful woman in the capital, she is a coquettish woman who still has no children.

These women are not easy to deal with!

Ai Qiu was wiping Hua Jianli's hair when suddenly a nimble cockroach jumped out from an unknown place and landed on Ai Qiu's hand.

"what……"

Behind him, Ai Qiu let out a frightened cry, almost scaring Hua Jianli who was deep in thought to death...

"There are cockroaches..."

She turned around quickly and saw Ai Qiu jumping in shock. A cockroach crawled into her slightly open collar.

"what……!"

She shook her clothes like a witch performing a shamanic act.

"Don't..." Hua Jianli had just opened her mouth when she shook the cockroach hard and it landed on Hua Jianli's dressing table. The cockroach just reacted and was about to run away, but its movements were nowhere near as fast as Hua Jianli's. She was so quick-witted that she snapped -

With one slap, the cockroach was killed by her.

Ai Qiu's screams also stopped.

She turned over her palm and saw that the cockroach was dead beyond death.

"You are too timid. Even cockroaches are afraid of you!" She grabbed the roots on the cockroach's head and was about to throw them away. Suddenly, she had an idea. "Ai Qiu, go out and grab me a handful of soil..."

soil?

"Yes, I want to bury this cockroach!"

what?

Ai Qiu frowned, thinking, "What a crazy person! He named the cockroach Xiaoqiang and even buried it."

"Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you standing there? Do you want me to fry it and give you a snack?" Hua Jianli asked puzzledly.

"Um..." Ai Qiu covered her mouth. She didn't want to, "I'll go find some soil."

Ai Qiu acted quickly. She found a loquat leaf, wrapped a handful of soil, handed it to her, and then made the excuse of going out to sweep the floor. Only then did Hua Jianli reveal a sinister smile.

As usual, she got something good today, and her sisters would definitely not let her keep it for herself. She believed that they would come to snatch her things soon.

She mixed the cockroach with the soil and kneaded it into a shape that was about the same size as the pill. She then dripped the remaining Tremella soup in the porcelain bowl onto it, rolled it into a ball, and then put it into the sandalwood box, fastened the lock, and placed it in an inconspicuous place on the dressing table...

She had originally planned to put a pill she had made in it, such as the "Tingshi Pill". Later, she thought it was not worth it. Although she had a lot of pills in her space, every time she used one, it would be one less. She didn't want to waste it on those women.

I didn’t expect Xiaoqiang to arrive so timely.

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of things, she turns waste into treasure.

-

At the same time, in the main courtyard.

Snapped--

Hua Jin sat at the table and patted it in dissatisfaction, "Why did Hua Jianli come back alive? Did she guess that I was the one who set her up?"

Did Xuanyuan Jin know the truth? Would he cause trouble for me?

"Speak softly, or she might hear you!"

Sitting opposite Hua Jin was her mother, Prime Minister's wife Shi Jing. Although she was a concubine's daughter, she had risen to the position of Prime Minister's wife through her own abilities, and her methods can be imagined.
