The prince's wife is even more cruel, and the weak prince is afraid of his wife.

The young boy stared at the skinny girl, with undried blood on her body, wondering what she was thinking.

Gu Qianyue saw that he was looking at her all the time and thought that he was a mute who couldn't speak, so she said, "I won't despise you for being mute. Just nod your head if you are willing."

The boy knelt down anxiously and said, "Actually, I can speak. I am willing. I really am."

Gu Qianyue agreed to keep him, but took a few steps back in disgust because he was so smelly and wondered how long he hadn't showered. The boy also realized that Gu Qianyue didn't like him, so he tried to minimize his presence.

Gu Qianyue asked Sister Hua to take the boy to wash up and bring him back tomorrow.

The boy looked at Gu Qianyue's thin back, which looked like a glittering fairy under the setting sun. He secretly pinched his legs to make sure if he was dreaming and doubted whether his decision was right.

Could this be another hell?

Seeing that the King of Hell had left, Sister Hua's expression changed instantly and she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Sister Hua, this kid actually dared to hide the steamed buns. It seems that he was not beaten enough before. I will let someone teach him a lesson now." said the servant.

"What lesson do you want to teach him? Take him downstairs, wash him clean and then bring him to see me." Sister Hua said with some disgust.

The servant was a little anxious but still didn't want to let the boy go, so he said, "Sister Hua, are you just going to let him go like this? What if..."

What else? Why don't you go talk to the King of Hell?" Sister Hua said sternly.

Sister Hua looked at the boy from a distance and muttered, "I really don't understand what's so special about you that the King of Hell would fall in love with you."

"Forget it, you guys hurry up and take him downstairs to wash him clean." Sister Hua really couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

This is also one of Sister Hua's survival skills. Just do whatever the boss tells you to do and don't ask too many questions, so you can live longer.

The young man was already nervous, and became even more uneasy when he heard Sister Hua call Gu Qianyue the King of Hell.

Gu Qianyue returned to the yard and first checked that Xiao Cui's wound was not serious, then asked someone to fetch water for a bath.

She slowly took off her cumbersome clothes and entered the warm wooden barrel. At the same time, she saw her appearance through the water. Her skin was a little yellow due to malnutrition, and she often applied messy makeup on her face, which caused many red spots on her face.

Although this face is very similar to her previous life, Gu Qianyue still cannot accept that she is so ugly.

Then I asked the system to check it out. "Xiao Lan, is there any way to restore my appearance?"

But Xiaolan did not respond. Then Gu Qianyue remembered that Xiaolan had no energy. I was a little uncomfortable without Xiaolan. It seems that finding the energy stone should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Gu Qianyue didn’t feel like taking a bath, so she just washed herself casually and went to bed.

When it was daybreak, Sister Hua took the young man and waited outside the courtyard gate for Gu Qianyue to call them.

Gu Qianyue slept until noon, but found that she didn't know how to tie her hair in ancient style so she could only tie it into a high ponytail, which made her look more heroic, as long as her face was excluded.

Alas, Gu Qianyue sighed, opened the door and saw Xiao Cui and Sister Hua waiting for her, so she asked Sister Hua to prepare food.

Gu Qianyue gave Xiao Cui a special medicine, so she healed very quickly. As long as the wound did not split, it would not hurt, so Xiao Cui could get up and walk around. However, the internal injuries still needed to be healed slowly. "Don't do strenuous exercise, otherwise the wound will split and it will be very painful." Gu Qianyue warned.

"Miss, I will write it down." Xiao Cui replied.

"Miss, now that the person has been brought, I will step out and wait." Sister Hua was afraid that Gu Qianyue would settle old scores, so she thought about getting out of here as soon as the person was brought. There was nothing she could do because Gu Qianyue's methods were too cruel. She just killed the chicken to scare the monkey.

Yesterday evening, many servants with broken arms and legs were carried out. Everyone knew that the King of Hell had come to Jingxin Manor. Sister Hua wanted someone to serve Gu Qianyue, but everyone was reluctant to come. Even if Sister Hua offered money, no one dared to come.

Therefore, today only Sister Hua brought the young man here to wait.

"Yes!" Gu Qianyue agreed, and told Xiao Cui to ask the kitchen to prepare braised chicken legs. She also asked Xiao Cui to watch it personally, under the pretext of fearing that they would steal some.

There was no one around, and the boy was even more frightened, his palms were sweating, but he didn't know why Gu Qianyue kept him.

It is autumn now, and yellow leaves are falling everywhere, making the yard look even more desolate.

Gu Qianyue drank some tea and asked, as if she just remembered that there was someone else, "What's your name?"

"I have no name or surname, please give me a name, master." The young man answered while bending over.

"You don't look like an unknown person." Gu Qianyue said.

The young man suddenly clenched his fists as if thinking of something, then he bent over and said calmly, "Please give me a name, Miss."

"Although I don't know why you want to escape from your original self, I don't believe you." Gu Qianyue said.

The boy was a little overwhelmed, thinking that he was going to be abandoned and had to go back to that dark and shabby house where he lived with rats. He kept hesitating whether to reveal his true identity.

Gu Qianyue took out a jar and placed it on the table and said, "This is the Three Corpses Brain Pill. It will take effect every Dragon Boat Festival. If there is no antidote, you will turn into a monster."

Instead, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the poison on the table and ate it without hesitation.

Gu Qianyue said, "Then you should be called Fang Zheng from now on. You are a young man who is decisive in words and deeds, firm in mind, and determined."

"Thank you for the name, Master." There was a little more smile in Fang Zheng's eyes at this moment.

"Miss, can I make one more request?" Fang Zheng asked cautiously.

Gu Qianyue put down the cup in her hand and looked up: "Hmm? What did you say?"

If you want to live, you must forget your original self, identity, family, and relatives, and live like a normal person. You will meet your benefactor in Liguo. This is what the old man said before he left. Could it be her?

Fang Zheng thought of the old man's words, and after a long struggle, he finally said that he wanted to follow Gu Qianyue's surname. He wanted to live for whom, regardless of whether the old man's prophecy was reliable or not, he wanted to take a gamble.

Fang Zheng was prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect Gu Qianyue to agree.

"By the way, what can you do? Can you read? Can you make money?" Gu Qianyue suddenly asked.

"I can read and I learned how to manage a shop when I was a child," Fang Zheng replied.

Upon hearing that Fang Zheng could read, Gu Qianyue's eyes lit up. She had never expected that beggars nowadays were so educated. At the same time, she was secretly happy that she had saved some money. She had thought that she would have to pay for his studies first.

Then Gu Qianyue asked Fang Zheng in detail what he knew.

Knowing that Fang Zheng could run a shop, Gu Qianyue decided to let him try. She also planned to copy out the secret recipes of delicacies and cosmetics in Xiaolan's system and let Fang Zheng make them to make money.

Gu Qianyue immediately copied the hot pot recipe and restaurant decoration design drawings and handed them over to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng was shocked when he saw it, and at the same time, he began to calculate in his mind how much money this thing called hot pot could make and its future prospects.

Gu Qianyue said: "Calculate the cost and go to Sister Hua to get the money. Also, keep this matter confidential."

At this time, Xiao Cui came back with the braised chicken legs, and Fang Zheng put away the secret recipe and decoration drawings and went out.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Gu Qianyue suddenly said.

Xiao Cui was obviously stunned, lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "Are you a lady?"

After all, they grew up together, how could they not recognize each other if there were even a slight change?

"No, your young lady is dead." Gu Qianyue didn't want to leave her hope, but at the same time, she also didn't want to keep anyone with ulterior motives around her.

Xiao Cui couldn't control her sadness and cried softly, but she was also happy for the young lady as she finally got what she wished for and was freed.

"If you want to leave, you can leave now." Since she is the only one who is kind to the original owner, I should help her, Gu Qianyue thought.

"No, I won't leave." Xiao Cui said in a crying voice, as if she had made some kind of determination.

"Why? Freedom is right next to you, why bother staying in this quagmire?" Gu Qianyue was speechless. Freedom was right beside her, why bother to dwell on it?

Xiao Cui was afraid that Gu Qianyue would not want her, so she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Miss, please let me stay with you."

"Do you want to help her get revenge?" Gu Qianyue thought about it and found that this was the only one that fit the bill.

"No, I know I am dull and revenge is unrealistic. I want to tell the general and the others about all the harms that the young lady has suffered. As for revenge, let the general and the others decide for themselves. This is also the answer that the young lady has always wanted to know. I beg you to fulfill my wish."

Gu Qianyue inherited the original owner's memory and naturally knew that this was her obsession: "That's fine, but it will be very dangerous to follow me. From now on, you will no longer be an ordinary maid."

"I'm not afraid. I've been an orphan since I was young. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be picked up and brought back to the mansion by the young lady, I would still be wandering somewhere. It is the young lady who gives me a house to live in and food to eat, so I must help the young lady fulfill her only wish." Xiao Cui said.

Since you have made up your mind, just change your name to Durian.

Xiao Cui knew that Gu Qianyue agreed to let her stay, but she asked in confusion: "What is durian?"

"Durian has many thorns, so I hope you can learn to protect yourself before you protect me," said Gu Qianyue.
