Stunningly beautiful young lady

As we walked along, the landscape grew increasingly desolate, until we couldn't see a single person.

This Miss Su is not only out of favor, she's probably going to be forgotten.

After passing through an abandoned bamboo forest, we finally came across a dilapidated courtyard.

It's called a courtyard, but it's actually a deserted and desolate place.

Pushing open the old wooden door, the house inside was dilapidated but at least it didn't leak and was kept quite clean, as if someone cleaned it every day.

The person sweeping the "rotten" yard felt someone push the door open and immediately looked up, only to be stunned.

"Miss!?"

Xiaozhi covered her mouth with both hands, tears streaming down her face, and the broom fell to the ground.

Seeing the person she had been longing for suddenly appear in front of her, Xiaozhi was momentarily stunned.

After regaining his senses, he excitedly grabbed Su Qing's arm, touching and checking here and there, repeatedly looking for any injuries.

“I believe that Miss is alright, but everyone says that Miss went to the forest to collect herbs and was eaten by a monster. I don’t believe it. Why would Miss go to such a dangerous place?”

"It's good that Miss is alright. It's best that she's back."

Su Qing was genuinely touched as she looked at the girl in front of her, who was even shorter than herself, and felt a pang of emotion, perhaps stemming from the original owner's feelings.

"Miss, please go inside and rest. I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."

Seeing that it was just noon and lunchtime, Xiaozhi was worried that Su Qing would be hungry.

Xiaozhi pulled Su Qing's hand and led her to the room, letting her sit on a bench inside to rest.

Looking at the person in front of her who had always cared about her, Su Qing also felt a sense of warmth.

"Well, I'm back."

Su Qing patted Xiao Zhi's head and said with a smile.

Xiaozhi felt a hand touching her head, and was both surprised and happy. She pressed Su Qing into a chair and quickly ran out to find something to eat.

After Xiaozhi left, Su Qing poured herself a glass of water and began to observe the courtyard.

There are three rooms and a living room. Only Su Qing's master bedroom and Xiao Zhi's side room are usually occupied. The other room is empty because no one lives there.

The main problem is that there's nothing else to put in this dilapidated courtyard, so it's been left unused.

Although the yard wasn't exactly nice, it was kept very clean by the little girl, Xiaozhi.

I've scanned everything. It seems I still need to put in a lot of effort to turn this place into a warm and cozy home.

Just as he was thinking about how to earn money to repair the place, he heard Xiaozhi's screams outside the courtyard.

"what!"

"Don't touch my food, my young lady hasn't eaten yet."

The food that Xiaozhi had just brought from the kitchen was lying on the side of her, but now it had been knocked over by Butler Su and the others, who were still mocking her.

"Heh, what are you smacking about? The First Madam has met the Eldest Miss four times."

Su heard Xiaozhi's cries and went outside to check, only to find Xiaozhi being pinned to the ground.

"Stop it all!"

Su Qing quickly ran to Xiao Zhi and kicked away the two servants who were holding Xiao Zhi down.

Before either of them could react, they were kicked out. The servants and steward Hu standing nearby were also caught off guard.

"Xiaozhi, how are you? Are you alright?"

Su Qing pulled Xiaozhi up from the ground.

"Miss, I'm fine. It's just that you might be hungry. Xiaozhi didn't protect the food well."

Xiaozhi almost burst into tears when she saw the food on the ground.

Su Qing looked over and saw two steamed buns, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup on the side—that was the meal Xiao Zhi had mentioned.

No wonder the original body and Xiaozhi look so small; they've always been eating these things, how could they possibly get any nutrition?

The food was finished, and Butler Hu was going to take Miss to see the First Madam. Xiaozhi immediately said to Su Qing:

"Miss, I'm fine. Hurry up and go. Butler Hu and his men outnumber us. Miss, go inside quickly, or you'll suffer later. Miss, go inside and close the door. I'll stop them."

Xiaozhi hurriedly pushed Su Qing towards the door, but she couldn't move Su Qing.

"Go, where are you going? The young lady has returned and hasn't even gone to pay respects to her husband. Come here, young lady, please come over. Your husband has something to discuss with you."

Butler Hu covered his leaky mouth and said.

Su Qing's kick at the door was really hard, which caused her to speak somewhat unclearly now.

Upon hearing Steward Hu speak, the servants immediately surrounded the two of them.

Seeing the crowd gathering around, Xiaozhi knew she was in for a beating.

"Miss, it's alright. Xiaozhi will protect you later."

Xiaozhi held Su Qing's front with both hands as she spoke, but her trembling legs also showed that Xiaozhi was afraid of this Madam.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, Su Qing felt both heartache and warmth. She never expected that her predecessor would have someone so protective of her.

"Xiaozhi, it's alright."

Su Qing pulled Xiao Zhi behind her and looked coldly at Butler Hu.

"Come on, Steward Hu, I need to see the First Madam and get some things. Otherwise, how will Miss and Xiaozhi get by?"

Looking at the pitiful leftover food on the ground, Su Qing decided to give herself and Xiao Zhi a good meal.

Butler Hu looked at the young lady in front of him and realized that she seemed different from the rumors.

But he didn't care. What kind of trouble could a useless person without spiritual power cause?

The only reason I suffered was because I was caught off guard and got ambushed.

Butler Hu thought to himself that he would deal with this good-for-nothing properly after returning from the First Madam's place.

The more arrogant he is now, the worse he will be when he sees the madam later. Butler Su sneered inwardly and quickened his pace.

"Useless trash, hurry up, the First Madam has been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing the two people strolling leisurely as if taking a walk, Butler Hu impatiently urged them on.

Su Qing wasn't used to this, so she lifted her heel and, with a sudden burst of energy, sent a stone crashing heavily into Butler Hu's mouth.

"Ouch."

A stone the size of half an egg was embedded in Butler Su's mouth, forcing him to swallow his broken teeth.

It took a long time to vomit, and I lost a few more teeth and my mouth was swollen.

Looking at the few people in front of him, Butler Hu pointed at Su Qing as he walked and said:

"You piece of trash, I'll die a horrible death if I see you today."

No sooner had he said that than a leaf pierced straight at Butler Su's finger.

Before I could pull it back, my finger suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Ahhh, my hand!"

A tiny leaf severed the tendon in his finger.

Steward Hu kept wailing, and the servants around him felt a chill run down their spines as they watched this bizarre scene.

Butler Hu held his index finger in one hand, his mouth closed, his eyes darting around as if he had encountered a ghost today.

He stopped urging Su Qing, because he was in so much pain that he just wanted to go back and apply medicine to relieve the pain.

No one saw how the stone attacked Butler Hu, but everyone saw leaves being cut towards Butler Su.

Now no one dares to speak, for fear that they will be the next ones to get hurt.

Xiaozhi, also feeling scared, leaned closer to Su Qing.

Su Qing looked at Xiao Zhi and gently patted the back of her hand.

At this moment, Xiaozhi also sensed that her mistress was different. Usually, her mistress would have been so scared that she would have hugged her. Why was she so calm and bold today?

Although Xiaozhi was puzzled, she also liked the way her young lady was bold and dared to speak loudly, unlike before when she was timid and hesitant.

As soon as Su Qing entered the courtyard, a voice came from there.
