There are many poisonous insects in the tropical rainforest. Although their bites are not fatal, they are extremely painful and can cause wound ulceration and infection.

In order to develop detoxifying pills and anthelmintics, she had to catch insects for in-depth research. The poison in the needle was extracted from the bodies of poisonous insects.

She couldn't kill Gu Xian'er openly, but she didn't want to let her go easily. She let her taste the feeling of being bitten by a poisonous insect. It was Gu Xian'er's honor to experience the hardships that special forces soldiers went through.

When no one was paying attention, she stabbed Gu Xian'er with a needle, then threw Gu Xian'er away and left with Aunt Zhao without looking back.

Zhang hurriedly helped Gu Xianer up, and when she saw the marks on her neck, she cried out of heartache.

"The second young lady's madness has come back again. Look at how she has pinched Xian'er. She also said something nonsense about her soaring to the sky one day. Others may not know what kind of person she is, but don't the people in our mansion know it?"

The old lady frowned tightly. The second girl was indeed crazy before and didn't look like a lady at all. But now, her temperament has changed drastically.

For a moment, she even felt the second brother's decisiveness from the other person. It seemed that one day in the future, she would really stand at the top of the world and trample all those who bullied and humiliated her under her feet...

I hope she is overthinking it.

No longer thinking about that bastard, the old lady felt distressed when she saw the obvious bruises on Gu Xianer's neck.

"Hurry up and ask the doctor to come. What if there is a hidden disease?"

She was focused on the strangulation marks on her eldest granddaughter's neck, but it was obvious that the marks on Gu Lingshuang's neck were more serious, with the skin broken and bleeding, but she didn't show any concern.

Gu Lingshuang sent Aunt Zhao to Qingfeng Garden. Aunt Zhao did not come to her senses until she lay on the bed in a daze.

She held Gu Lingshuang's hand with a worried look in her eyes: "You have suffered so much, Second Miss. It's all because of your incompetence that you have suffered this great disaster. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to your father?"

As a concubine, Zhao's status was not much higher than that of a maid, otherwise the old lady would not have scolded her as a lowly creature. She was also powerless.

"Don't blame yourself, Auntie. Although I have suffered, I have also seen the ugly faces of the first wife and her daughter. This may not be a bad thing."

"Auntie, you are seriously injured. I happen to have some excellent medicine in my arms. Let me apply it on you."

Aunt Zhao didn't suspect anything and just lay quietly on the bed.

Gu Lingshuang reached into her arms and pretended to take out medicine, but in fact she was taking medicine from the space.

It is common for special forces soldiers to get injured, and the medicines for their injuries are all top-notch. The medicine she developed can even cure gunshot wounds, let alone minor injuries such as beatings.

When she sprinkled the fine medicine powder on the wound on Aunt Zhao's back, the pain immediately disappeared.

Aunt Zhao was amazed: "Second Miss's medicine is really magical."

Gu Lingshuang just smiled and said, "Auntie, you know how bad I was in the past. It was common for me to get injured in fights with others. I was afraid that if I asked a doctor, my grandmother would find out and scold me, so I learned medicine myself. I developed this medicine myself."

Aunt Zhao had no doubts at all.

The original owner was often injured because of conflicts with others outside. The old lady would pretend to care about him once or twice, but she got tired of it after too many times.

In order to avoid being scolded, the original owner did not dare to call a doctor and could only buy medicine and apply it secretly.

This made it easier for Gu Lingshuang to lie.

As the saying goes, long illness makes one a good doctor, so her sudden knowledge of medical skills would not arouse suspicion.

After applying medicine to Aunt Zhao, Gu Lingshuang took Xia He back to her own courtyard, Jingyayuan.

Jingya Garden is the largest and best courtyard in the entire marquis's mansion.

The courtyard is dotted with rocks, with paths connecting each other and corridors on all sides. It is shaded by green willows and full of flowers. The whole courtyard is magnificent and elegant.

The reason why the best courtyard was given to the original owner was not because the Marquis's Mansion treated her so well, but because she had a good father.

The Mansion of Marquis Pingyang may seem like a wealthy and powerful family, but after several generations of hereditary succession, the Marquis Pingyang had long lost his real power, and when the title was passed down to the original owner's grandfather, only a marquis was left.

After her grandfather died, the title naturally fell to Gu Xianer's father.

It was thought that the Marquis' Mansion would gradually decline, but unexpectedly, the second son of the Gu family became successful after joining the army. Gu Nanxiao, who was only 18 years old, was already a third-rank captain in the army.

Fifteen years later, the thirty-three-year-old Gu Nanxiao has become a first-rank cavalry general.

The old lady and the people in the first house all wanted to curry favor with Gu Nanxiao. On the surface, they did not dare to treat the original owner harshly, and they even deliberately showed their love and care for the original owner.

Gu Lingshuang had already entered the dormitory while thinking about these things.

After she sent Xia He away, she sat in front of the bronze mirror.

The girl in the mirror has a 360-degree view and her beauty is comparable to that of a certain Bing actress's Su Daji. Her beauty is extremely visually impactful.

She is so charming even at such a young age. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful she will be when she fully grows up.

But... when Gu Lingshuang put her face close to the bronze mirror, even the blurry mirror could show her large pores.

After wearing makeup for five years, although my face looks good, my skin condition is not optimistic.

Gu Lingshuang took out a microscope from the space, then gently scraped off some of the dandruff on her face, put it under the microscope to observe, and was speechless.

Her skin looked at least twenty years older. It was nothing like the skin condition of a fifteen-year-old girl. It lacked elasticity and had severe moisture loss. She didn't even have the baby fat of a girl.

It seems she needs to take good care of herself. Fortunately, she has a medical mask.

This facial mask was also made by her. When the squad leader was scratched on the face by shrapnel, he used this.

Thinking of the squad leader, Gu Lingshuang's mood was depressed for a moment. He didn't know whether the squad leader and other comrades had completed the secret mission assigned by the country.

She knew it was useless to think about these things now, so she stopped thinking about them.

Gu Lingshuang applied the mask on her face, and the medicinal essence in the mask was completely absorbed in less than five minutes.

Gu Lingshuang: “…”

She took out another piece and applied it on her face, then took out the bottle of blood sample from the space.

Promising to help the masked man detoxify was secondary; the main thing was that she was very interested in the poison.

Take out a drop, drop it on a glass slide, and observe it under a microscope.

Gu Lingshuang discovered that the blood sample was extremely active and contained toxins, but there was no such thing as a poisonous insect.

She was researching in the room, and before she knew it, it was already noon, but she was still immersed in the experiment.

Just then, the quiet yard suddenly became noisy.

"Third Master, you cannot enter the young lady's boudoir."

"Get out of my way. Today I'm going to kill that shameless Gu Lingshuang. She ran away with a wild man and had the nerve to come back. She even dared to seriously injure Xian'er. I think she's courting death."

"Third Master, you really can't go in."

"You, a lowly maid, dare to stop me? Then I'll start with you."

"what--"

After a commotion and screams, there was a loud "bang" and the door was kicked open forcefully from the outside.

"Gu Lingshuang, get out of here! Don't think you'll be fine if you hide in my room. My sister tolerates you, but I won't indulge you."

Gu Lingshuang instantly put away the things used in the experiment, walked from the inner room to the outer room with a calm look, and saw a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old walking in with a blood-stained sword.

After searching through her memory, Gu Lingshuang found out that the other person was the second son of the eldest wife and the third among the sons of the Marquis' Mansion. His name was Gu Qingye.

When Gu Qingye saw Gu Lingshuang, he was stunned and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As a young master of a noble family, he had seen countless beauties, but he had never seen one as beautiful as the woman before him.

Although he has a stunningly beautiful face, his temperament is so cold that it keeps people at a distance.

Gu Lingshuang was extremely disgusted by his blatant, squinting eyes and said, "Get out!"
