Qin Baizhi lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested for a long time.

A few hours later, Zhao Baihua came back out of breath, carrying a bag of herbs and a lively golden koi.

"There is no fish in the dinner prepared for the show girls in the dining room today, and they don't plan to cook fish specially for us show girls. I went to the pond and caught a koi carp."

It sounds easy, but accomplishing these things is not easy.

Qin Baizhi groped and held her hand tightly: "Ahua, thank you."

Now is not the time to tell Zhao Baihua these things, we have to wait.

The rules on the bamboo slips read: [Never let them know you can see].

She also didn't know if [they], including Zhao Baihua and other beautiful ladies, did not dare to take risks easily.

Zhao Baihua shook his head: "It doesn't matter. You are much worse off than me. Alas, who said we are all from the Bai Zi sect?"

Qin Baizhi smiled slightly: "Yes. This is our fate."

Zhao Baihua looked around, picked up a lame chair, and threw it to the ground, causing the chair to break into several pieces.

What a strength!

Zhao Baihua closed the window, took out the fire stick from his arms, and lit the wood with some sawdust.

Then, she found a clay pot in the room, poured the herbs and water into it, and put it on the fire to cook.

Later, she skillfully killed the fish, removed the scales and internal organs, and roasted it over the fire.

This series of movements is as skillful as a farmer's.

Qin Baizhi sat down next to the fire and asked, "Aren't you afraid of lighting a fire in the house to attract them and then punish them?"

Zhao Baihua looked indifferent: "Just live one day at a time. I've had enough of this damn life."

The two of them sat quietly around the fire, listening to the crackling sound of burning wood, and invariably felt the rare and long-lost tranquility.

After the herbs were cooked, Zhao Baihua took out some of the residue, wrapped it in white cloth, tied it around her right eye, and tied a bow thoughtfully.

"Okay, this won't look so ugly."

Qin Baizhi praised: "Ah Hua is really clever and smart."

Zhao Baihua was unusually embarrassed: "This is all what I learned when I was young."

Zhao Baihua said as she filled another bowl of herbs for her.

When taking the bowl, Qin Baizhi caught a glimpse of the old whip marks remaining on her arms, as well as various scars of different shades.

Qin Baizhi was slightly touched and asked casually, "Ahua, were you often beaten when you were a child?"

Zhao Baihua's eyes moved slightly, glanced at her, and lowered his eyes.

"Yes. I was hungry and couldn't eat, so I went to the kitchen to get steamed buns. My mistress asked a servant to whip me. My concubine and concubine also often beat me. I was everyone's punching bag."

Her eyes were slightly red: "But I'm used to it. I envy you legitimate daughters."

The memory of the original owner came to Qin Baizhi's mind, and he said in a low tone: "There is nothing to envy. My father doted on his concubine and killed his wife. He drove my mother, my mother, and my stupid brother to the side room, and left us to starve and suffer. Frozen. My concubine also instigated my father to blind me and send me to the prince's residence."

Zhao Baihua sniffed, pursed his lips, and sighed: "You are worse off. I am still a human being after all."

She tore the koi into pieces again, picked out the fish bones, and handed them to Qin Baizhi.

She is really thoughtful and attentive.

Qin Baizhi secretly thought that if possible, he would take her out.

After eating the fish, Qin Baizhi asked for the fish head.

While Zhao Baihua was packing up the fire, medicine jars and other things, Qin Baizhi quietly dug out the fish eyes and tucked them into his sleeves.
