The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

As Xue Hanshu said, Xue Panrou and Zhao Sanlang's marriage was aborted, but her life was not much better.

Light Green House.

Through the handkerchief, the doctor's hand was on Xue Hanshu's pulse.

Aunt Chun was anxious: "Doctor, it's been seven days and the pain is still severe. Can you help me?"

The doctor stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "It's not serious. I'll prescribe a prescription right away. Miss, take it internally and apply it externally according to the prescription. The scab will form within three days."

Hearing this, Aunt Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw the prescription, she looked troubled again: "Doctor... can the Cordyceps and Ganoderma lucidum mentioned in this prescription be replaced with other herbs?"

It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that these two medicinal herbs are too expensive.

This doctor often visited wealthy families and knew that unfavored concubines had a hard life. He was not surprised and wrote a new prescription.

"This recipe can also relieve pain and inflammation, but it will take a little longer to heal. It's not difficult to heal the wound, but it will leave some scars."

Aunt Chun's eyes dimmed: "...Thank you, doctor."

Then he sent another message: "Youlan, send the doctor out."

After sending the stranger away, Aunt Chun nodded and said, "Shu'er, mother asked someone to boil the medicine according to the prescription. Shu'er, drink the medicine obediently, and the pain will go away."

Unexpectedly, Xue Hanshu pulled back the bed curtain, her pale lips trembling, "Didn't you hear what he said? If you take this medicine, you will be left with scars! I haven't even gotten married yet, do you want to ruin my life?"

After several days of suffering from illness, Xue Hanshu no longer had the leisure to pretend to be gentle and virtuous, and her true character was revealed in front of her mother.

Being yelled at by her own daughter, Aunt Chun had no temper. She covered her face and cried in embarrassment: "Aunt Rong is very powerful. Shu'er has offended her. Even the daily food and clothing expenses of Qinglvzhai have been cut down layer by layer. Almost all of our money has been used to pay for it. We can barely have a hot meal. How can we have spare money to buy Cordyceps and Ganoderma lucidum?"

Xue Hanshu was annoyed by the crying. She said coldly: "You just know how to cry! If you were not so unpromising, why would I have to endure this humiliation? If you were capable of giving birth to a son, I would be the one marrying into the Zhao family. Why would I make such a fuss!"

Aunt Chun cried even louder.

Xue Hanshu was silent for a moment: "Did Jiangxuexuan send anything?"

Aunt Chun came back to her senses, but she shook her head sadly: "The Third Miss has lived a life of luxury and doesn't know the difficulties of daily life. What she sent are some pearl hairpins and silks, but who would dare to accept the Third Miss's jewelry to bribe the servants? Otherwise... I'll go and ask the Third Miss for help?"

"Why should I ask her for help? I have finally figured out that she is useless. She refused to help me even though I begged her so much. Why should I embarrass myself again now?" Xue Hanshu gritted her teeth and said, "Let's take the jewelry to exchange for money first."

Aunt Chun couldn't help but hesitate: "But... that was given by the Third Miss. If she knew..."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Do you want me to die?"

Xue Hanshu's anger, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, rose up again, and she could not help but become furious: "I must recover from my injuries as soon as possible and then see Zhao Sanlang, otherwise he will forget about me after a while, and I will have suffered in vain! If I don't fight this time, how can I get a good marriage? My life will be ruined just like mine!"

So, Youlan sent the doctor away, and just when she came back, she was caught by Xue Hanshu and vented her anger on him. Then she was ordered to hide a few pearl hairpins on her body and tiptoe towards the gatehouse.

It's just a pity that Aunt Rong hated Xue Hanshu so much that the servants in the entire Xue family, who followed Aunt Rong's lead, also consciously targeted Qingluzhai in every way.

Before Youlan could leave the house, she was stopped by the doorman.

The servant blocked her way with ill intentions: "Hey, isn't this Miss Youlan from Qinglvzhai? I heard that it was the Second Miss who beat you into this state?"

Youlan had lied under duress, so she felt guilty and stopped in her tracks, not daring to say anything.

The second servant pushed her and said, "I thought Miss Youlan was very capable. Why? Are you speechless now?"

Servant No. 1 clicked his tongue: "He is indeed from the same courtyard. He is a sleazy man who hides his head and shows his tail. He is not a good person."

Another person chimed in: "He went out in such a sneaky way. I'm afraid he has some bad intentions!"

"I'm afraid that the people in this room have unclean minds and unclean hands, am I right, Miss Youlan?"

Youlan blushed at what she said. Looking at the two people with bad intentions, she bit her lower lip and said angrily, "You are accusing me with empty words. Be careful, I will tell my wife!"

Unexpectedly, the two servants burst into laughter: "Madam is so busy with all kinds of affairs, how can she have the time to pay attention to you, young lady? I'm afraid even your master is too lazy to pay attention to you!"

This is quite true. If Madam had been willing to lend a hand, Qingluzhai would not have been suppressed like this by Aunt Rong's room.

"Whether it's just empty talk or not, we'll know if we search it." The boy touched his chin and smiled evilly.

"How dare you!" Youlan's voice trembled.

"Why not?" Servant No. 1 was amused by Youlan's threat.

The second servant echoed: "We are the guardians of the Xue family, so we are responsible for protecting the family property. You look suspicious. What if you secretly hide something and sell it? Wouldn't that mean we have failed in our duty?"

Youlan did have something hidden on her that she wanted to pawn, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but shrink her body and avoid looking.

The two gatekeepers had long intended to bully Qingluzhai, and when they saw that Youlan was a timid person, they became even more arrogant.

"Come on, Miss Youlan, don't stand here anymore. Let me search you. If you are innocent, I will let you go. This will prevent us from delaying our mission."

Youlan was also a person who cared about her reputation. After hearing this, her face turned pale, making the red slap marks on her face even more conspicuous.

She was so scared that she stuttered, "The Xue family has never...never had such a rule!"

"It is true that there is no rule in the mansion that servants must be searched when entering or leaving the house, but there is a rule that anyone who steals the property in the mansion will be beaten with sticks and sold out! Miss Youlan's behavior is suspicious, and we dare not let her go lightly."

As the servant said this, he rubbed his hands together and pressed forward.

Youlan became more and more frightened and was forced to retreat again and again. However, she really had something hidden on her body. If she was discovered, the Fourth Miss would beat her to death. Therefore, she didn't even dare to call for help at this moment.

She covered the drawstring bag on her waist with her hands, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran, but the doorman was usually strong and pulled her back.

Youlan fell heavily to the ground, and even the drawstring bag fell out.

"Wow! Are you really hiding something?"

The boy was overjoyed and reached out to pick it up.

Youlan was horrified, and regardless of the blood on her hands when she fell, she quickly tried to grab it back: "That's mine! Don't move!"

"Your stuff?" The servant spat at her and said, "Who knows where you smuggled it from!"

As he spoke, he opened the drawstring bag, and inside was a glittering gold hairpin with intricate patterns and many treasures.

"Such a luxurious item is in the hands of a maid! She is indeed a dishonest person!"

Then he ordered another servant: "Search again to see if there is any more!"

Although Youlan was plain-looking, she had pretty features and was of ripe old age. These two men had been planning to take advantage of her and would not miss this opportunity.

The servant was about to tear her clothes off. Youlan hugged herself and cried, "I didn't steal it! This is Fourth Miss's stuff! She asked me to pawn it!"

"Fourth Miss?" The servant was even more amused: "If the Fourth Miss had such a good thing, how could she have fallen to the point of having to pawn it to make a living?" He snorted coldly: "Keep searching!"

The two servants were tearing Youlan apart, and their hands were touching her body intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, Youlan's shame reached its peak, tears fell down her face, and she bit her lips and sobbed.

"What are you doing! Stop it now!"

The two servants were startled by the scolding. When they turned around, they saw a woman dressed as a first-class maid walking towards them in a hurry.

"Miss Qiuyun..."

The boy withdrew his hand reluctantly.

Qiuyun is usually kind to others, but she is, after all, a first-class maid in the legitimate lady's courtyard. Her status and dignity cannot be offended by a mere doorman.

The two of them kept quiet and held their breath, remaining silent.

Youlan seemed to have been pardoned, and she crawled to Qiuyun's feet almost using her hands and feet.

After adding more clothes in autumn, Qiuyun also wore thicker clothes. She squatted down, took off her outermost sweater, wrapped it around Youlan, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I will ask the Third Miss and the Madam to help you."

After that, she stood up, took the maid's hand, and scolded the two people who were just so proud: "What are you doing in broad daylight? You are from a wealthy family, how can you be so rude? If you disturb the masters by making such a noise, you will be in trouble!"

Servant No. 1 quickly explained with a smile: "Miss Qiuyun, you are blaming the wrong person. Youlan is dishonest and stole the master's property and sold it. This is a serious matter! We are just doing our duty, right?"

Qiu Yun sneered, and said righteously: "Doing your duty? Are you taking advantage of the situation to bully others? If Youlan really has something wrong, Aunt Chun and the Fourth Miss will teach her a lesson. If she has anything more, the Madam and the Master will decide. When will it be your turn to abuse private punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the servant stopped smiling flatteringly and tutted his lips in an unamused tone: "We are all servants, why does Miss Qiuyun have to be so aggressive? Do you really want to disturb the Madam for this matter?"

"If it's a small matter, I shouldn't bother Madam, but since you said it's a serious matter, I should ask the master for advice." She glanced at the two of them and said, "Would you two like to go with me, or should Madam come to get the person later?"
