After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Feng Qiongzhu said calmly, "What's there to be angry about? They threw me into this remote mountain villa thousands of miles away when I was eight years old, and let the servants torture me harshly. I was hungry and cold all year round, and I wore clothes that the servants didn't want. I no longer have any expectations of my father, let alone a stepmother. Isn't it normal for her to want to get rid of me?"

After saying that, she put down the melon in her hand and turned to look towards the kitchen.

She continued indifferently, "I heard that my mother's wedding was a grand ceremony with a dowry so rich that my father's yard couldn't even accommodate it. Later, my mother bought a big house after she got married. However, when I was eight years old, my mother passed away, and my life changed completely."

"They couldn't wait to send me to a remote village, just to embezzle my mother's dowry. Over the years, they didn't dare to let me die directly because they were afraid of being criticized for mistreating the legitimate daughter. I understand that they hope I will die accidentally."

After a pause, Feng Qiongzhu's eyes flashed with determination, "I know it very well in my heart, so I want to live well."

Yun Kaizhou listened quietly to her talking about the past. The teacup in his hand was clear, but he didn't take a sip.

The air between the two seemed to freeze, with only the sound of each other's breathing echoing in their ears.

Yun Kaizhou couldn't help but feel the sadness and loneliness deep in the heart of the little girl sitting opposite him.

Feng Qiongzhu also began to feel conflicted. She was not sure whether these emotions came from her original body's unwillingness and loneliness, or her own sadness and hatred.

At this time, Aunt Li's voice broke the silence: "Come, come, come! It's time to eat, Prince, Qiongzhu girl, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I will bring all the dishes up and we can eat soon."

Aunt Li quickly arranged the dishes and said to Feng Qiongzhu, "Don't be shy, just eat casually. The prince often eats with the guards in our courtyard, there are not so many rules, you don't have to be afraid of him."

Feng Qiongzhu responded with a smile: "I see, thank you Aunt Li, I won't be polite to him."

Their words left Yun Kaizhou speechless, as if everyone treated him as air.

When Aunt Li brought the last plate of sweet and sour pork ribs to the table, the two people at the table could no longer contain their desire for delicious food and couldn't wait to start eating.

Today's dishes are particularly rich, with sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork, garlic cucumbers, braised eggplant and other delicious dishes filling the table.

"Aunt Li, why are the dishes so delicious today?" Feng Qiongzhu's eyes sparkled as she stared at the dishes on the table.

Aunt Li looked at her lovingly and said, "I think you are too thin. I want you to eat more and gain some weight."

Yun Kaizhou looked at Feng Qiongzhu's happy expression and couldn't help but laugh.

Feng Qiongzhu stared at the sweet and sour spare ribs in front of her. The sweet and sour aroma made her salivate and she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks.

However, her upbringing told her not to lose her sense of propriety, so she had to suppress her excitement and sit upright.

"Won't Old Man Du have dinner with us?" Feng Qiongzhu asked Yun Kaizhou curiously.

Yun Kaizhou shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where Doctor Du was.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man with white beard roared: "Stinky girl, stinky boy! I haven't even arrived yet, and you dare to eat?"

Aunt Li smiled and responded: "You are here, aren't you? Sit down and let's eat!"

When Feng Qiongzhu heard that it was time to eat, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and headed straight for the sweet and sour spare ribs.

The ribs are covered with sweet and sour sauce and sprinkled with tiny white sesame seeds, which looks extremely tempting.

She picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour sauce blended with the crispy meat, which whetted her appetite. She couldn't help but eat one bite after another.

Seeing that Feng Qiongzhu had almost finished all the ribs, Doctor Du quickly picked up his chopsticks.

He exclaimed: "You really know how to eat, Aunt Li's sweet and sour pork ribs are really amazing!"

Feng Qiongzhu ignored him and continued to eat.

A table of people were quietly enjoying the food and eating all the food on the table like whirlwind.

After finishing eating, Feng Qiongzhu asked, "Is the room on the far west your pharmacy, Old Man Du?"

Doctor Du remembered that she was the apprentice of the ghost doctor Ji Wuming, and nodded immediately, saying proudly: "I have prepared quite a complete set of medicinal herbs inside. You can find all the basic medicinal herbs you need. Especially since the prince is traveling with a team of guards this time, injuries are inevitable, and the demand is relatively large. Therefore, I specially prepared some more."

"Then I'll go over and take a look later." Feng Qiongzhu said.

After saying that, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the lining of his clothes and handed it to Doctor Du.

This is the medicinal bath formula I prepared for your prince, she instructed: "Get the medicine according to this formula and tell me when it is ready."

Doctor Du immediately took the prescription with both hands. When his eyes fell on the handwriting on the paper, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Usually, women's handwriting is mostly beautiful and soft, but her font is unique, with strong strokes and vivid style, as if there is an unrestrained and free spirit leaping on the paper.

Yun Kaizhou also came over to take a look curiously, and was also attracted by the flowing handwriting.

He exclaimed: "This font is really beautiful, it was completed in one go."

Such handwriting doesn't look like it was written by an uneducated country girl. It's really amazing.

Doctor Du began to examine the herbs on the prescription one by one: "Honeysuckle, bezoar, Scrophularia, silkworm sand, Indigo... These are all detoxifying herbs that I am familiar with."

When he saw the name 'Yanhusu', he showed a confused expression. I have never heard of this medicinal herb before. He looked at Feng Qiongzhu in confusion.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at him in surprise. Seeing that he was not teasing her on purpose, she explained, "It is the rhizome of a flower. In fact, the fruit of this flower can also be used as medicine, but after the stem has been processed, it has just the right medicinal effect for the prince's condition."

She further explained: "Yanhusuo needs to be dug up in early summer when the stems and leaves wither. After removing the fibrous roots, it is boiled in boiling water until there is no white core, taken out and dried. After drying, it is roasted with vinegar. This way it has the effects of promoting blood circulation, promoting qi circulation, and relieving pain."

After listening to Feng Qiongzhu's explanation, Doctor Du suddenly understood. He stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Qiongzhu: "I have learned a lot today. Thank you for your generous guidance, young lady."

Feng Qiongzhu waved her hand and said modestly: "I don't deserve your advice. These are what my master taught me. Let's just discuss them together."

"This Corydalis yanhusuo can be found in the deep mountains and old forests near Cangzhou. But considering that it is urgently needed now, I suggest you look for it in the mountains near Hedong Road. I will draw a picture of the herb for you later. Judging from the season, it is now in bloom. The flowers are red and very bright, so it should be easy to identify."
