With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Shu He didn't want to go, but when she saw Xiao Yier staring at Baili Moqing's departing back with full eyes, she couldn't bear it.

When they arrived at the west yard, Nanqi called Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang turned pale with fright when he saw the woman covered in blood.

"Uncle Zhang, prepare water and clothes and let the woman wash and change." Nanqi said to Uncle Zhang.

This body covered in blood can easily distract the master.

Shu He looked at Nan Qi with dissatisfaction. Why should she listen to his orders?

Nan Qi understood her expression and immediately said dissatisfiedly, "Are you going to let your daughter sleep in a place covered in blood?"

Shu He looked at his body and found it really disgusting.

"Give me the child."

Nanqi saw her looking at him warily and immediately snatched Xiao Yier from her arms in a bad mood. "If I wanted to hurt you, why would I help you? Look at you, you're covered in blood. Aren't you afraid of scaring the child?"

Shu He was stunned.

Yes. She had completely forgotten Xiao Yier's feelings when she killed someone just now. Thinking back on it now, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

What if Xiao Yier really saw that scene, would she be so scared that she would never dare to get close to her again?

Looking at Xiao Yi'er's ignorant eyes, Shu He felt uncomfortable, but couldn't help but worry, "She's still a child..."

She wanted to say that she was still a child, and no matter what Xiao Yier did wrong when she was not around, please don't blame her!

But Nanqi didn't even wait for her to finish her words before yelling at her, "Nonsense! How could I not know that she is a child? I'm not blind!"

Shu He: ...

It had been twenty years since she had completed her apprenticeship, and she hadn't been yelled at like that in a long time! Nanqi, you're great!

"Nanqi! How can you speak to my wife like that? How can you not have any manners at all?"

At this moment, Uncle Zhang came in to inform Shu He that the water and clothes were ready. He was a little dissatisfied when he heard Nan Qi talking to a woman like this. This Nan Qi is usually very polite, right? Why is he like this today?

Nanqi curled his lips and thought, "Uncle Zhang, you don't know, this woman is not an ordinary woman! Can an ordinary woman chop off a head as easily as chopping vegetables?"

He picked up the cake on the table and stuffed it into Xiao Yier's hand, with a gentle look on his face, "Come here, your name is Xiao Yier, right? This cake is delicious, try it!"

Xiao Yier looked at her mother, then at Nanqi, and finally her gaze fell on Baili Moqing who was standing by the window, "Brother Immortal, eat some cakes!"

The words "Brother Immortal" made Shu He's eyes twitch slightly. Xiao Yi'er called him brother, which seemed a bit inappropriate in terms of generation...

Baili Moqing looked up and met those innocent eyes. For some reason, his heart was touched again, as if a heartstring was being quietly plucked. A sense of "kindness" rose from nowhere and surged into his heart.

He unconsciously put down the book and stared blankly at the child. Seeing her skinny appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed...

He was a little surprised and confused. Why did he have such complicated emotions towards a child?

"Wow, Xiao Yi'er is so well-behaved!" Nanqi's peach blossom eyes were smiling at this time. This child was well-behaved and sensible, extremely well-behaved. It was the first time he saw such a small baby, who didn't cry or make a fuss in his arms. This feeling was too wonderful!

"Brother, you eat too!" Xiao Yier smiled and handed the other piece of cake in her hand to the corner of Nanqi's mouth.

Perhaps it was the first time that Xiao Yier felt kindness from a stranger. She completely opened her heart and smiled at Nanqi.

Baili Moqing looked at the bright smiling face, and the corners of his mouth rose up for some reason.

Shu He happened to see this scene and couldn't help but be stunned. This smile seemed long-lost and surprising.

"What are you still standing there for?" Noticing Shu He's gaze, Baili Moqing's resistance to women resurfaced, "Don't you know you stink?"

The smile that had not yet appeared on Shu He's face disappeared instantly.

Smelly?

Does she smell?

She always loved to do... well, pretty dirty things.

She followed Uncle Chen to wash up, and after a lot of trouble, she finally washed off the blood on her body and hair. After wiping her half-dried hair and before she could even put it up, she walked towards the study.

Before she even stepped through the door, she froze in shock. Rubbing her eyes, she wondered if she had seen it wrong. But no matter how many times she looked, Xiao Yi'er's petite body was always in the arms of the man in the wheelchair! Not only that, the two of them were smiling so warmly and sweetly! What was going on?

He, why would he be holding Yi'er?

Could it be that he discovered something?

Shu He wasn't the only one stunned; Nan Qi was, too. He froze in place like a stone. He'd been with his master for eighteen years, and he'd never seen him smile like this before! Such a gentle smile, such careful movements, as if afraid of hurting the little one! Perhaps even Bei Ji, who had been with his master for twenty years, had never seen such a scene before?

Is this still his master?

"Brother Immortal, you are so warm and comfortable!" Xiao Yier said, snuggling into his arms, her small hands tightly grasping the clothes around his waist, with a look of peace and satisfaction on her face.

Baili Moqing was a little stiff. He didn't know what was wrong with him. In response to Xiao Yier's words, "Immortal brother, give me a hug," he just took the child in his arms! Although the child had a strange smell, he didn't feel disgusted. He just felt a little sorry for the little baby who was so thin that only his bones were left.

"You can't call me brother anymore." He said softly and moved her closer to his arms. He just realized that she was wearing so thin.

Xiao Yier raised her head from his arms and asked, "What is that called?"

Baili Moqing lowered his head and noticed from a closer look that her eye sockets were sunken and her eye circles were dark purple, which looked a bit scary. There really are children in this world who are this thin!

"Doesn't your mother give you food? Why are you so thin?" Baili Moqing reached out and touched her face. All he touched was a thin layer of skin, and behind that was bone, not a trace of flesh. Her face, which should have been round, was now red and dry from the wind, with blood streaks visible. He felt a little angry. "Is this how she treats your mother?"

As if frightened by his sudden voice at the end, the smile on Xiao Yier's face instantly turned into panic and fear.

She waved her little hands on Baili Moqing's chest, crying and begging, "No, no, don't hit mother, Yi'er is good, Yi'er can wash clothes, Madam, please, don't hit my mother..."

Baili Moqing's usually calm and composed face suddenly showed a trace of innocence. He glanced at Nanqi, a little bewildered. Nanqi was also a little confused. Why did he suddenly burst into tears of fear?

Shu He's nose felt slightly sore, and he immediately ran into the study to pick up Xiao Yi'er from Baili Moqing's body, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Yi'er, there is no bad lady anymore, mother is here, open your eyes and look, it's mother!"

Xiao Yier was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She was also seriously injured. She just opened her eyes and took a look at Shu He before fainting.

"Yier!"

"Xiao Yi'er!"

Shu He and Nan Qi exclaimed at the same time, and even Baili Moqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a cold expression.

Nan Qi didn't know where a sword came from, but he directly put it on Shu He's neck, "Tell me, did you steal this child? Why did you abuse her?!"

Shu He turned around, his eyes as cold as a demon from hell, "Get out of the way!"

Nanqi looked into those eyes and suddenly remembered the time he'd chopped off that bandit's head out of disdain. For some reason, he felt a chill down his spine, a dread rising deep within him. He'd only felt this feeling from his master four years before.

Baili Moqing noticed that Shu He's hands, which were holding Xiao Yi'er, were red and swollen with chilblains, as if they had been doing rough work for many years. Could there be some hidden secret behind this?

"Nanqi, get out of the way."

Nanqi glanced at his master and immediately sheathed his sword. But even then, he felt a little angry. This woman's martial arts skills were clearly not even half as good as his, so how could he have been intimidated by her just now?!

Shu He placed Xiao Yier on the couch in the study. She took out her needle bag and started acupuncture.

Just now, she was disturbed by Baili Moqing's scolding. She thought she was back in the house in the western suburbs and that the person in front of her was the vicious old woman Chen, so she started crying for no reason.

After a few injections, Nanqi saw that Xiaoyi'er's wrinkled face had actually calmed down, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You actually know medical skills!"
