There was already some discussion in the front yard because the hosts had suddenly left.

At this moment, the backyard was in chaos, and the servants and maids everywhere looked anxious.

Rong Su knocked out a lone maid, exchanged clothes with her, and then blended in with a group of maids.

I could hear a lot of quiet conversations.

"Oh my God, why did the old lady suddenly faint?"

"I heard he ate a cake."

"What pastries? I remember that the meals of the old lady and the young lady would be carefully inspected before being served to them."

"I don't know. The butler has already called in the people who made and delivered the cakes for questioning."

"It's terrible. What if something happens to the old lady?"

"Shh, be careful with your words."

Then the two maids saw that the person in front of them was walking faster, so they hurried to catch up.

Rong Su, who was following behind them, thought for a moment, then lowered his head and quickly caught up.

She had only taken a few steps when a maid called her from behind.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Rong Su paused, lowered his head, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Did he recognize her? His hand had already quietly reached into his sleeve and touched the silver needle.

The maid walked quickly to her side, reached out and patted her shoulder, then said breathlessly, "You are new here. That, that person's name is Xiaozhu, right?"

Rong Su rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, lowered her head, pinched her throat and nodded: "Yeah."

"I've been looking for you for a long time. Come on, come with me to the kitchen. We are short of manpower now!" As she said that, the maid pulled her hand and ran to the kitchen.

Rong Su couldn't do anything to the maid for the time being and could only let her pull her away.

After they arrived at the kitchen, Rong Suli heard from a distance a middle-aged woman with a rough voice, with her hands on her hips, scolding the maid.

"Qiu Shui, what have you been doing? Don't you know we're short of people right now? If you keep doing this, we can't let you work here anymore!"

The maid who was pulling her was called Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I won't do this again next time."

"Oh, why don't you get to work!" The woman looked at Qiu Shui arrogantly.

Qiu Shui lowered his head and humbly pulled her inside, then took her to a corner and brought her a plate of mung beans.

"Xiao Zhu, these beans will be used soon. Just pick out the good-looking ones and put them in the basket aside."

Rong Su stared at the beans silently for a long time. She felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. She twitched her lips and was about to find an excuse to leave.

At this moment, two people suddenly walked in from outside the door.

It was Matthew and Yingxiang who shouldn't have been here.

As soon as Matthew came in, the woman, who had been in a very bad mood and looked even uglier than Ye Xiang, changed her attitude instantly.

She smiled broadly and walked up to Ma Xiuzhi in a flattering manner, bowing slightly and asking, "Master Ma, you are here. Is there anything I can help you with? I will do it right away."

Matthew glanced around briefly before looking at the woman. He said calmly, "Leave a maid here to help me. I need to make medicine for the young lady. Everyone else, please leave."

When Rong Su heard this, she felt confused. What happened to Xiao Huan?

The woman was also very observant. Seeing Matthew's solemn expression, she nodded and asked him, "What kind of maid do you need to help you?"

Matthew said nonchalantly, "Just be smart and don't talk nonsense."

The woman immediately understood and looked towards them. She said to Qiu Shui, "Qiu Shui, I remember there's a maid named Xiao Zhu who gets along well with you. She's a cautious and taciturn girl. Ask her to help Master Ma."

Xiaozhu? Rong Su pondered for a moment. Wasn't she Xiaozhu now?

When Qiu Shui heard this, he didn't seem to want her to stay, so he immediately offered himself: "I can also help Master Ma. Xiao Zhu is clumsy."

As she spoke, she quietly reached behind her back, gently took her hand, and patted her, as if telling her not to be afraid.

Rong Su's eyes fell on Qiu Shui's hand. After thinking for a while, she stepped forward before the woman could speak, lowering her head and saying, "I, I am Xiao Zhu."

Qiu Shui looked at her in surprise and frowned.

As soon as the woman saw her come out, she smiled and said to Ma Xiuzhi, "That's her. This girl is a quiet person. So you can use her with confidence, Mr. Ma."

Ma Xiuzhi looked at Rong Su deeply, revealing a look of great satisfaction.

Yingxiang, who was standing next to him, saw Ma Xiuzhi's expression and a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes. She glared at Rongsu. Rongsu naturally noticed it, but she could only choose to ignore it.

After that, the woman began to drive out the people in the kitchen, leaving the entire kitchen to Matthew and Yingxiang, and Rong Su also stayed.

She also heard Qiu Shui's worried voice outside the door.

"But now the kitchen has been requisitioned, what about the banquet in the front yard?"

"Tsk, why are you so nosy? There's more than one kitchen in the Xiao residence. Everyone, follow me to the kitchen in the West Garden."

The woman's voice was so loud, like thunder, that it was impossible not to hear it.

Soon, all the people who were driven out seemed to have left, and she heard the sound of footsteps gradually moving away.

Just as I lowered my head, I heard Matthew's voice calling.

"Your name is Xiaozhu, right?"

She lowered her head, not looking at him, and replied in a pinched voice: "Yeah."

Ma Xiuzhi didn't care whether she could speak or not, and said casually: "Go and wash a medicine jar for me now."

When Rong Su heard this, she silently went to look for the medicine jar. Fortunately, she had just come in and took a quick look at the layout of the kitchen.

While she was looking for the medicine jar, she heard Ma Xiuzhi and Yingxiang talking in a low voice.

Although it was very quiet, she had sensitive ears, so she heard a lot.

"Sir, do you really want to save the young lady?" Yingxiang seemed a little dissatisfied with Matthew's move to save Xiao Huan.

Ma Xiuzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, but his words were full of affection and sweetness: "Yingxiang, my sweetheart, do you think I will really save her? Using this blood lotus on her may seem good, but in fact, it may not be certain."

Rong Su couldn't help but frown. The Quanshan Blood Lotus was a good treasure, but it was also a complete poison!

What exactly does Matthew want to do by using the Blood Lotus on Xiao Huan?

I always feel like there seems to be a conspiracy hidden in it.

"Master, I have given you everything I have. I don't ask for anything else, but I ask you to think of me." Yingxiang spoke shyly and coquettishly, as if she didn't care about her lady's life or death in order to rely on Ma Xiuzhi.

Hearing Yingxiang's words, Rong Su felt disgusted, but then she thought, human nature is like this, selfishness is human nature, it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong, and she didn't want to judge. Some things are done, and the outcome depends entirely on fate.

"Don't worry, my darling." Matthew's words were sweet and Yingxiang's heart was already with him.

Seeing Rong Su was still fiddling around, Ma Xiuzhi became impatient and urged, "Xiao Zhu! Is it done? Why are you so slow?"

Yingxiang had always disliked Rong Su, and when she heard Ma Xiuzhi scolding Rong Su, she also joined in.

"That's right! If you delay the young lady's treatment and even take your life, you won't be able to pay for it!"

Hearing them talking about herself one by one, Rong Su sneered. They are really an adulterous couple, and they really follow the husband's lead!

Helplessly, Rong Su could only hand over the cleaned medicine jar.

As soon as Yingxiang took it, she immediately smiled softly, and exchanged glances with Matthew, her voice so sweet that it gave people goosebumps.

"Sir. Here you go~"

Ma Xiuzhi raised a smile that he thought was very handsome, and expressed his affection to Yingxiang, but Rong Su only felt disgusted.

But when Matthew had already started to cook the medicine, he seemed to have taken out a brocade box from somewhere.

The crimson brocade box was opened, and inside it was quietly placed a yellow medicinal herb. Rong Su stared at the herb closely. Was that the Quanshan Blood Lotus?

Seeing this, she was thinking of ways to stop Matthew from cooking the medicine, but Matthew didn't even give her a chance to think. Without blinking, he threw the medicine into the medicine jar.

Yingxiang cooperated even more and had already started a fire downstairs.

Looking at this scene, Rong Su was stunned. Was she going to fail to complete the mission?

Shen Peiqing's meridians need the medicine Blood Lotus!

Seeing Rong Su staring at Ma Xiuzhi, Yingxiang immediately felt jealous. Is this little bitch trying to seduce Mr. Ma? She actually looked at Mr. Ma with such eyes!

Jealousy made Yingxiang dislike Rong Su and she started to find fault with her.

"Xiao Zhu! What are you still doing here? Get out now!"

Rong Su heard Yingxiang's scolding, but she didn't move. She couldn't leave. Shen Peiqing's blood lotus was gone, but maybe she could find another one.

But now Matthew wants to use this medicine to harm people!

She couldn't verify whether Ma Xiuzhi was a doctor, but judging from the way he prepared the medicine, he was very unfamiliar with it. Even the order in which he put the medicine was messed up. He was not treating Xiao Huan at all!

Suddenly, she understood the meaning of the task given by the reader.

At that time, I didn’t understand why a single medicine could be used to harm people, but now I finally understand!

Seeing Rong Su still staring at Ma Xiuzhi motionlessly, Yingxiang's jealousy grew. She walked over angrily, reached out and pushed Rong Su, and said to her viciously, "Xiao Zhu! Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

As soon as Yingxiang finished speaking, Rong Su raised her eyes with a cold and gloomy look and looked at Yingxiang. When Yingxiang saw her, she was stunned for a moment, feeling a chill down her spine.

Rong Su smiled coldly at Yingxiang and whispered to her, "I warned you that if you want to detoxify, you must help me get the blood lotus. How come you forgot in just a short time?"

Yingxiang then remembered that an hour ago, a vicious woman broke into her room, poisoned her, and even forced her to help her get the Quanshan Blood Lotus.

But she thought that the woman must have never seen such a good thing as the Blood Lotus, so she planned to pick up a random one to trick her later. But she didn't know that the woman was right in front of her!

A feeling of fear arose spontaneously, and Yingxiang's body stiffened little by little under Rong Su's cold gaze.

She wanted to ask for help from Ma Xiuzhi, who was not far behind her, but Rong Su saw through her thoughts and instantly reached out to grab her wrist. She lowered her voice with a cold smile, "Don't even think about asking for help from Ma Xiuzhi. If you tell him, you will die immediately."

After hearing this, Yingxiang's body began to tremble little by little with fear, because she clearly saw that Rong Su was holding a very thin silver needle in her hand. Her intuition told her that the silver needle was extremely dangerous.

A drop of cold sweat slid down her forehead. Yingxiang asked her softly with trembling lips, "Then, what do you want me to do before you let me go?"

Rong Su narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he whispered softly: "Do everything possible to destroy the medicine soup."

When these words were spoken, Yingxiang's eyes widened, obviously wanting to refuse.

Seeing her expression, Rong Su sneered: "If you don't do as I say, you will die quietly. You will never have the chance to continue your relationship with Matthew."

Yingxiang looked at Rongsu in surprise. She was panicking inside. She had finally found a handsome man like Mr. Ma who was both talented and handsome. She couldn't lose her life because of this. She hadn't enjoyed him enough!

She bit her lip, her eyes showing some anger, but she suppressed her anger and said to Rong Su: "Okay, I promise you. But after this is done, you must detoxify me."

Rong Su curled the corners of his mouth and gave Yingxiang a friendly smile: "Of course."

Ma Xiuzhi was confused when he saw Yingxiang standing in front of Rongsu. When he saw that the medicine was almost ready, he called out to Yingxiang, "Xiang'er! The medicine is ready. We have to send it to Xiao Huan!"

Hearing Ma Xiuzhi's call, Yingxiang turned around and instantly put on a charming smile, and walked in front of Ma Xiuzhi: "Sir, I'm here~"

Ma Xiuzhi was very satisfied with Yingxiang's flattery. He took a step back, made room for Yingxiang to pour the medicine soup.

Yingxiang was holding a handkerchief to pour medicine, and she glanced at Rongsu. Rongsu smiled at her. Yingxiang immediately lowered her head and bit her lip, for her life and Master Ma.

She gritted her teeth, pretended to be scalded, and accidentally spilled the medicine on the ground.

When Matthew saw this, he was shocked and angry: "What are you doing? That's a very hard-to-get blood lotus!"

It was the first time Yingxiang had seen Ma Xiuzhi being so ferocious towards her. She held out her reddened fingers with a bit of grievance, "Sir, I didn't mean to do that. It was just too hot. Now that the blood lotus is gone, there are other medicines you can take."

Ma Xiuzhi was almost irritated by the idiot in front of him. He was furious and was about to speak when he saw Rong Su standing not far away with her head lowered. He suppressed his anger and said to Rong Su, "Get out of here!"

Rong Sujian's reader has displayed a reminder.

[Successfully prevented someone from using the Blood Lotus to harm others. Reader upgraded to level 1, currently level 7 with 50 experience points.]

Seeing this, she lowered her head and left the kitchen in a timid manner.

But after she closed the door, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked around and hid in a corner, listening to the conversation inside.

"You're stupid! The Blood Lotus is a medicine. Using it on Xiao Huan could kill her without anyone noticing. But now you've ruined it!"

"Sir, I didn't mean it~ woo woo"

"As long as Xiao Huan is alive, I can't marry you. I will only marry you if I inherit the Xiao family's fortune."

Hearing this, Rong Su was slightly surprised. It turned out that Matthew harmed Xiao Huan just for the Xiao family's property!
