Chapter 2: The Scumbag Appears

, “With just her as a maid, she wouldn’t dare to plot against this palace. But if…” He suddenly thought of something, his expression changed drastically, “Impossible! Fu'er wouldn’t do such a thing!”T...Although Xiao Yu Ge was the one who got injured, Xiao Yu Fu cried harder than anyone else. Her pear blossom with rain look made both of her parents heartbroken and they rushed to comfort her.

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about You and Ge'er are both the daughters of your parents. Whoever gets hurt, your parents will feel heartbroken." Xiao Zhan felt a deep affection for this adopted daughter.

"Sister Song, even though you've always been wild and carefree, you know your elder sister isn't in good health. You still took her to such a high mountain! Luckily it was you who fell, if it had been your sister..."

Xiao Yuge watched this scene with cold eyes. She remembered it was the same in her past life, Xiao Yufu cried and fainted, and then everyone, even the doctor, was called away, leaving her alone in the room, as if they had all forgotten about her.

Thinking about this, she secretly pinched herself hard, the pain causing tears to immediately well up in her eyes: "Mother is right. It's all Ge'er's fault. Ge'er heard that there was auspicious grass on the mountain, a herb that could cure Mother's illness. Ge'er wanted Mother to recover quickly... It's all Ge'er's fault. I shouldn't have brought my elder sister along, causing worry for Father and Mother. I should have gone alone..."

As he spoke, he took out a lucky grass from his body and deliberately concealed the abrasion on his arm.

In her past life, after she brought back the auspicious grass, she saw Xiao Yufu fainted from crying, so she gave the credit to Xiao Yufu. The Xiao family's elders thought it was Xiao Yufu who had collected the medicine, and they loved Xiao Yufu even more deeply.

Beside him, Xiao Zhan had indeed heard something amiss. "Ge'er, how did you know that the auspicious grass could cure your mother's illness"

Xiao Yu sang dejectedly lowered her eyes: "These years, my daughter has been studying medical books. The properties of the auspicious grass were learned from an ancient medical text..."

"You're saying that all these years, you've been insisting on reading medical books just to cure your mother's illness" Xiao Zhan was shocked. He always thought she was just playful and willful, unwilling to do women's work so she read medical books, but he never expected...

Xiao Yu Ge lightly nodded her head. In her past life, she was not good with words and, out of pity for the delicate Xiao Yu Fu, she kept everything bottled up inside. This time around, she knew what she had to do.

As expected, Madam Xiao burst into tears upon hearing this: "My dear child, why didn't you say anything sooner Your mother is just old and ailing. No medicine works on her anymore. You said that mountain is so high, what if you had an accident, what would happen then It hurts me to think about it!"

Xiao Yu Ge laughed and shook her head: "Mother, don't worry, Ge'er isn't in pain. As long as Mother's illness is cured, Ge'er would be willing to break even if she was shattered."

"Nonsense! Your mother has already lost you once, how could she lose you a second time." Mrs. Xiao held her, feeling both heartache and guilt.

Doctor Wang, standing beside them, took the lucky grass from Xiao Yu's song and examined it carefully. He exclaimed in surprise: "It is indeed lucky grass! There is hope for the madam's illness. Lucky grass is rare at any time, Second Miss truly has a kind heart. This old man will go now and prepare a few other herbs that harmonize with it. Boil them together with the lucky grass, and it will surely cure the madam's long-standing ailment."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Xiao Yuge handed the remaining lucky grass to Doctor Wang.

Madam Xiao had been suffering from coughing blood for many years. Despite trying countless remedies, she saw no improvement. Now that there was a chance for a cure, everyone was overjoyed.

Xiao Yu Fu saw her parents surrounding her younger sister, she drooped her eyes in dejection. It turned out that she had always been an outsider. Her heart ached, and her body swayed, as if about to fall. Fortunately, the maid beside her quickly supported her: "Miss!"

As expected, Mrs. Xiao heard this and immediately walked over: "Fu'er, what's wrong Are you feeling unwell somewhere"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, my younger sister is the most important..." Human nature tends to sympathize with the weak, and Xiao Yu Fu embodied the image of a delicate flower needing support perfectly. Naturally, she garnered everyone's pity.

"What matters most to my daughters, you are all my daughters, and you are all precious." Mrs. Xiao felt deeply heartbroken.

“Mother, I understand medicine. Let me take a look at elder sister.” Xiao Yu Ge naturally knew this was Xiao Yu Fu’s usual trick, so she pretended to feel her pulse. It was steady and strong, there was nothing wrong at all, she was just faking it!

"Father, Mother, please rest assured, elder sister only received a fright. She'll be fine after some rest."

Mrs. Xiao let out a long sigh and patted Xiao Yu'er's hand, saying softly, "Yu'er, you have been sickly since childhood. Don't think about things that are not good for you. You and Ge'er are both my heart and soul. Go back to your room and rest. Next month is your coming-of-age ceremony. You can't get sick."

"Yes, I shall take my leave now." Xiao Yufu gracefully curtsied and withdrew.

"Master, the Crown Prince has arrived!" A servant reported at that moment.

Thousand Thoughts Dust! When Xiao Yu heard this person's name, her hand instinctively clenched. Damn scumbag! But at this moment, she had no ability to kill him. She could only force all the hatred down.

To kill them would be too easy. She wanted them to taste the pain she had endured!

"Fu'er, I heard that something happened to you on the mountain. Are you alright" Qian Sichin rushed into the courtyard and met Xiao Yufu just as she was leaving. He hurried forward and asked in a flustered manner.

"Brother SiChen, Fu'er is fine, it's just that my younger sister..." She hesitated, her soft voice always involuntarily eliciting pity.

As soon as she said she was fine, the worried lines on Qian Si Chen's face instantly relaxed. Before she could finish her sentence, he let out a sigh of relief and interrupted her: "It's good that you're alright, I was scared to death!"

Xiao Yuge coldly watched them. Qian Sichin was still her fiance, but at this moment, all he saw was Xiao Yu'er and cared only about Xiao Yu'er, not even bothering with her life or death. It was laughable; in her past life, she had been so pathetically clingy.

"Brother Sichen, why don't you go see your little sister" Xiao Yufu softly reminded Qian Sichin.

"See the Crown Prince!" Xiao Zhan and the others quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need for formalities!" Qian Sichin waved his hand and strode up to Xiao Yuge, seeing the wound on her hand, his brow furrowed slightly: "Yuge, are you alright"

"It's just a minor scratch, nothing serious." Xiao Yuge retracted her hand without a trace, coldly staring at the man before her. Scenes from her past life flashed before her eyes, this scratch compared to their humiliation, crippling her martial arts, breaking her limbs, piercing her through the bone with an iron hook, slashing her arteries and draining her blood... what was it

Qian Si was stunned, staring at her in surprise. He thought to himself: Usually this girl would scream if she got pricked by a needle. Today, she's injured, logically she should have rushed into his arms and cried loudly for comfort like before. He was even mentally prepared to just act it out and hold her, but why was she differentk nonsense, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, you’ll be fine.” Qian Sichin knew how deep this stab was. His heart was a bit chaotic now. He hadn’t expected her to rush out and take...
