There is a herbal decoction simmering in the pot, and Ziqi holds the medicine powder in her hand, waiting for the moment when the herbal liquid thickens before adding it.

  She stared at the bubbling herbal soup in the pot, as if she saw Hua Rou jumping and skipping in front of Mu Junwu again, saw their intimate embrace...

  "She's not that beautiful either, how did Mu Jun fall for her..."

  The sound of the child's drawing filled her ears and surrounded her brain, Zi Qi shook her head vigorously to get rid of all this annoying stuff, but she caught a whiff of something burnt.

  "Oh no, my medicine!"

  The herbal juice in the pot has been boiled dry, and a burnt smell is emitting from the bottom of the pot.

  Zi Qi hastily moved the kettle away, but in her haste, she forgot to grab a towel and scalded her hand on the handle of the kettle. She let out a pained cry as the kettle shattered on the ground, and her entire right palm turned red and throbbed with pain.

  "Looking at her own hands, Zi Qi gritted her teeth: 'No one can surpass me, no one can make me feel such pain, Hua Rou, you absolutely cannot!'"

  Zi Qi suddenly turned around and ran out, rushing straight to the secret room where Zi Hua was preparing poison.

  "Zi Hua, give me the list of herbs we need for tomorrow."

  The little brother looked at his sister who suddenly rushed in with a resentful and angry aura, shrinking his neck: "I... I haven't done it yet!"

  "Don't pretend you don't know, just get it done for me now! Even if you're afraid, just copy today's orders for me."

  "Alright, I'll copy it!" Zi Hua saw that Zi Qi was in a bad state and quickly put down the things in his hand, carefully walking forward: "Sister, what's wrong?"

  Zi Qi took a deep breath: "Someone is messing with my heart, I'm going to get rid of her."

  ……

  Hua Rou was holding a scroll and studying when the door was suddenly kicked open, and Zi Qi stormed in, slapping a material list in front of her.

  "You go pick herbs, you must find them all for me before nightfall."

  Zi Qi finished speaking and turned around to leave.

  "Wait a minute!" Huā Róu picked up the list and quickly scanned it: "I already gathered all these during the day, how...?"

  "Is that enough? Who told you it's enough?" Ziqi turned around and glared at Hua Rou: "I'm telling you to make up for it now, hurry up and do it. If we delay the poison arrangement, we won't be able to get enough materials. It doesn't matter if you don't learn anything, but delaying us is not acceptable!"

  Zi Qi finished speaking and turned to leave with a flick of her sleeve, her furious expression as if Hua Rou owed her several hundred dollars.

  Huā Róu thought Zǐ Qí was inexplicable, but thinking about the materials needed for the entire poisonous house, she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly carried a small bamboo basket out the door.

  "Sister, she's gone." Zi Hua stuck his head out of the window and watched as Hua Rou left before hurrying to report back to his sister.

  "You must go and find someone to let Tang Feiyan hear the news immediately." Zi Qi's eyes flashed with venomous cold light: "Someone saw Hua Rou and Tang Xiao embracing in the medicine field."

  Zi Hua was taken aback: "Could it be that the one Huajiu is embracing is Mu..."

  Zi Qi stared at her: "I said it's Tang Xiao, so it's Tang Xiao."

  The child frowned: "I know what you mean, but if the truth comes out..."

  "When the truth finally came out, she had already died in Tang Feiyan's rage."

  ……

  "Everything has been divided and sent over," Zheng Feng whispered in Tang Lei's ear before retreating to the side.

  Tang Lei relaxed his shoulders and looked at Tang Shi Qi who was copying the roster beside him: "Be careful, you must do it..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Tang Feiyan burst in hastily and interrupted him: "Dad! You don't keep your promises!"

  At this moment, Tang Shi Qi quickly covered the list she had copied with paper, while Tang Lei hastily closed the account book in front of him. Zheng Feng, who was retreating to one side, immediately stepped forward and blocked Tang Fei Yan's way.

  "Welcome, miss!"

  "Get up!" Tang Feiyan impatiently pulled open Zheng Feng's clothes, and Tang Lei had also stood up and walked to her front.

  "Swallow, how can you be so reckless again? I've told you countless times to knock on the door before entering Father's study..."

  "Dad, I'm not here to listen to your lectures, I'm here to settle accounts with you!" Tang Feiyan glared at Tang Lei, who smiled and said: "Settle accounts?"

  "Right! Father, you said you would help me teach Hua Rou a lesson, why didn't she get in trouble at all?"

  "Is that all?" Tang Lei's smile grew even brighter: "What's the rush? I have my own plans!"

  "But..."

  "Feiyan, when did your dad ever let you suffer a loss?" Tang Shiqi also arrived at Tang Feiyan's side and gently comforted: "You, just wait quietly."

  "I don't want to wait, I want to see her now..."

  "Don't be ridiculous!" Tang Shiqi suddenly turned serious: "I have important business to attend to with your father."

  "Mother..."

  Tang Shi Qi made a quiet gesture and then ordered: "Zheng Feng, escort the young lady back."

  Seeing her parents impatient with her, Tang Feiyan stomped her foot in annoyance and ran out, with Zheng Feng naturally following closely behind.

  Tang Shi Qi sighed and shook her head: "Not calm at all, don't know who she's following!"

  Tang Lei smiled and flipped open the account book: "Continue, Master Meng should come to ask questions tomorrow morning, we must make the accounts look good."

  "I know." T'ang Shih-ch'i sat back down at his desk: "But won't putting things there really cause any problems?"

  "It's dark under the lamp." Tang Lei said confidently: "She will absolutely not discover it."

  Tang Shi Qi looked at her husband with admiration: "You're really something, not only can you help our daughter vent, but also solve our biggest problem."

  "Helping Fei Yan vent her anger is just a convenient thing to do, with these things, you and I can truly be confident. Moreover... that girl has caused you trouble and ruined my plans, even if Fei Yan didn't come looking for me, I wouldn't have been able to let her go."

  Tang Shi Qi and Tang Lei exchanged a smile.

  "I don't need you following me!" Tang Feiyan stormed off a few steps before suddenly turning around and yelling at Zheng Feng behind her.

  "Miss, this is the order of Master Feng."

  Tang Feiyan twisted her mouth: "Zheng Feng, go help me vent!"

  "Miss, please give your orders."

  Tang Feiyan immediately ran back to Zheng Feng's side: "I hate that Hua Rou, she is now in the medicinal field at the back mountain, I want you... to cut off her face!"

  "Yes, miss."

  Zheng Feng arrived at Yao Shan when the sky had already darkened, he was very puzzled that with such a gloomy sky, Hua Rou would still be in the medicine field, however, Miss's orders he wouldn't dare to slack off.

  Rushing all the way, I arrived near the medicine field and vaguely saw a slender figure frequently squatting into the medicine field to search for something.

  The light was too dim, he couldn't see Hua Rou's face clearly, but such a sky color also saved him from covering up her appearance.

  Zheng Feng pulled out a dagger from behind his waist and hid it in his sleeve. After looking around to make sure no one was watching, he began to creep forward with his back bent low.

  In the medicine field, relying on the light to barely find the last few strains of medicinal flowers, Yu Rou pressed down her roots without realizing that someone was quietly approaching her.

  Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang...

  Zheng Feng held his breath and stood behind Hua Rou, he drew out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and with his other hand reached for Hua Rou's neck...
