Chapter 2....
“Sister, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Please spare my life! I’ll definitely serve you carefully in the future!”
Su Yurou was protected well by the maids, but there were two lines of tears on her face as if Su Yingxue had done something unforgivable to her.
However, she was already gnashing her teeth in her heart. Su Yingxue, who usually listened to her every word and did not dare to say anything even if she was wronged, what was wrong with her today?
How dare she push her into the water in front of her father!
The thought of it made her angry. She cried in front of Su Dingheng even more weakly, “Daddy, don’t blame sister wrongly. She also wants you to see her more and accompany her. It’s my fault for hindering the father-daughter relationship between both of you. Before sister cools down, I won’t be seeing you!”
“Yurou, what nonsense are you saying? Daddy’s heart aches for you…” Su Dingheng held Su Yurou’s hand and shouted at Su Yingxue, “Hurry up and apologize to your sister! You will soak in the lake for two hours. Before the time is up, you’re not allowed to come up! Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!”
Su Yingxue lost her mother when she was young. Although her grandfather doted on her, she longed for her father’s love and never dared to disobey Su Dingheng’s orders. She did not dare to move even when he punished her to kneel for half a day on a snowy day.
At this moment, Su Yingxue sneered, “Father, you can’t differentiate right from wrong, and you don’t know who’s superior or who’s inferior. You’re punishing me, the legitimate eldest daughter, for a bastard child. No wonder Grandfather refused to place you in an important position.”
“What did you say?” Su Dingheng was so angry that his face turned green. Not only did his daughter, who had always been submissive to him, disobey him, but she also exposed the fact that his father did not like him in front of so many people. It was no different from slapping him hard.
He picked up his rod and beat Su Yingxue up again.
Su Yingxue stood up straight. “Father, is your hearing bad? If you hit me again because of an illegitimate daughter, if word gets out, outsiders will say things that are a hundred times worse than mine!”
“You…” Su Dingheng’s hand that was holding the rod trembled.
Su Yingxue turned around and met Su Yurou’s gaze. Her beautiful face carried a noble and cold temperament. “Su Yurou, remember, if you accuse me of pushing you into the water again, I’ll let you drown in there.”
Su Yurou’s eyes were filled with tears, and her expression became more aggrieved.
“What nonsense are you talking about, you brat! Yurou is your sister!”
Su Dingheng’s heart ached as he stood in front of Su Yurou. His eyes were filled with disgust and anger as he looked at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She reached out to grab Su Yurou and threw her into the lake.
In a panic, everyone was busy saving Su Yurou.
It wasn’t until she left that everyone’s minds rang with alarm bells. The Eldest Miss was different from before!
Su Yingxue brought Zhilan back to the courtyard.
Zhilan gritted her teeth and supported her weak body. “Miss, go back to your room and lie down. I will get a doctor for you.”
Su Yingxue caressed her hand. “Good girl, go back and wait for me. I’ll go get the medicine myself.”
Her mother, Princess Shu Li, was the number one female doctor of the Great Cheng Dynasty. Although she passed away when she gave birth, she inherited her mother’s talent and knew medicine from a young age. She could learn faster than doctors who had studied for many years by flipping through medical books. It was not difficult for her to prescribe medicine to treat external injuries.
But this time, she was not only going to take ordinary medicine, but also the thousand-year-old ginseng that her grandfather had treasured.
Her grandfather had stored the ginseng in a secret compartment in the pharmacy. Initially, he had only told her about it. However, in her previous life, in order to please her father, she had used this information to curry favor with him. As a result, Su Yurou had casually fallen into the water and taken this thousand-year-old ginseng through her father.
This time, she wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand. She would not give them the chance to take advantage of her!
However, as soon as she opened the box, a golden light flashed in front of her eyes and she entered an unfamiliar place.
The green grass was like a carpet, and the fragrance of medicine wafted in the air. Not far away, the sound of a waterfall could be heard.
“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me! I’ll give you all the Medicine King Valley, don’t eat me, boohoo…”
“Who are you?”
The sound of a child crying rang in her mind, and Su Yingxue’s head hurt from the noise.
“I’m a spirit ginseng that has lived for thousands of years. A human accidentally plucked me… but I don’t want to die. As long as you don’t eat me, everything in Medicine King Valley is yours!” Little Ginseng’s voice was like that of a three-year-old child, making one’s heart ache.
Su Yingxue looked at everything in front of her strangely. It was not a scene she had ever seen before. The rare herbs planted in the herbal field were hard to find in a hundred years.
When she saw the Blood Clotting Grass in the herbal field, her eyes immediately lit up. “There’s actually so much here!”
In her previous life, when she was beaten up, her big brother Su Hao gave her a stalk of Blood Clotting Grass. When she received it, she thought that he was stingy and only gave her one. Later on, she found out that Blood Clotting Grass could quickly heal wounds and strengthen muscles and bones. It was extremely rare. One stalk was worth thousands of taels of silver in the market!
That stalk of grass that she received from her big brother was obtained from the military camp when he suffered serious external injuries. The military camp had allocated it to him so that he could participate in the military competition in the future after he recovered.
However, he couldn’t bear to use it and gave it to her, and she threw it away in a fit of anger.
Now that she thought about it, she felt that she was so stupid!
She continued to look and found that other precious medicinal herbs, such as crocus and sarcophagus, were also everywhere. It was simply a paradise for doctors.
“All kinds of beast horns and spirit herbs are in the pharmacy.” Little Ginseng’s voice lured Su Yingxue forward.
There was an exquisite pharmacy in the valley. Rare herbs and equipment were all available. Most importantly, the water here contained medicinal qi.
Su Yingxue drank a few drops of dew from the leaves. Not only did she quench her thirst, but she also felt that her blood was circulation well. The pain from being hit by Su Dingheng instantly disappeared.
“Ginseng, is this your territory?”
“Oh… You could say so! Let’s make a deal. As long as you don’t cook me, this place will be yours!” The little ginseng was very generous.
Although she could only hear its voice, Su Yingxue felt that this was a good deal.
She blinked and returned to the pharmacy in an instant. The box was empty, but the little ginseng’s voice kept echoing in her mind. “Don’t worry, I can’t run away once I’m in your body. If you need anything, call me anytime. I’m going to sleep first…”
Su Yingxue let out a long sigh of relief. She wondered why Su Yurou had become a godly doctor in her previous life after eating the ginseng. She was sought after by everyone and became more and more powerful!
So that was how it was!
In this life, she wanted to firmly grasp this opportunity in her own hands!
She picked out a few stalks of Blood Clotting Grass from Medicine King Valley and made it into a blood clotting cream. She applied it on her wound and it quickly took effect. She called Zhilan over and applied it on her wound. Zhilan felt that the wound on her body suddenly didn’t hurt as much.
Her eyes were filled with surprise. “Miss, did you make this medicine yourself? Were the herbs very expensive? Don’t use it on me. Save it and use it in the future!”
Her heart ached for the ointment. She wanted to scrape some off her body and put it back into the bottle.
