C9 Dendrobium radix

The small path — she still remembered that maid. Wasn't that the little beggar that Bu Jinghua brought back from the market? This was the path that had delivered the steamed buns to her that night.

Staring at the young maid who was sitting on the ground, Bu Jinghua's mind went blank for a moment. She wanted to rush over and help her up, but the one who needed to be taught a lesson was Little Ju.

"It's you …" "Young miss!" Seeing the newcomer, Little Ju was truly frightened. Her disdainful expression instantly turned into one of fear. Although this young miss normally didn't care about it and didn't want to punish people, she was their master after all. She usually treated him quite well, but he had betrayed her … The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

She already purposely hid from Eldest Miss for the past few days and thought that Eldest Miss would be beheaded by the Emperor. Even if she didn't, she would still be sent to prison. The eldest miss was completely fine. It had been almost three days, yet there was no news from the Bu Family. It looked like the rumors were not to be trusted!

Little Ju didn't dare to look Bu Jinghua in the eye because that glance just now had scared her out of her wits. She saw the anger in that pair of watery eyes.

"What is it? Didn't you hear what I just said? Or is it that the 'family rules' from before were only made by you? " Even though Bu Jinghua's voice was soft, it was filled with an unquestionable coldness.

"I... Little Ju doesn't dare! " Little Ju stood there, trembling in fear.

"You don't dare? "Humph!" Bu Jinghua laughed, but the laughter became even more terrifying to Little Ju's ears.

"Why wouldn't you dare? You even dare to frame your master, what else do you not dare to do? " Bu Jinghua took a step forward, scaring Little Ju so much that her back turned cold.

"I... Little Ju doesn't understand what Eldest Miss is saying! " She actually knew how to speak calmly. She wanted to believe that this young miss was the previous Eldest Miss and was easy to fool. As long as the words of others were sincere and pitiful, her heart would soften and she would believe it.

"Don't understand? "Humph!" Seeing Little Ju like this, Bu Jinghua became even more disgusted.

"Perhaps, I should think of a way to make you remember!" After he finished speaking, Bu Jinghua took the whip from Little Ju's hand and fiercely swung it. The whip accurately hit Little Ju's body and a scorching line of blood quickly appeared on her body.

She was very sympathetic, but she would not sympathize with someone who was not. If she did not whip the small path, then she could consider letting her go. That was because it was hard to avoid being forced to do so for the sake of her own life, but … All of this was evidence of her malevolence.

They fawned over those in power only to whip those weaker than them.

Ah!" Young Miss, please don't. I really don't know anything! " With one lash of the whip, Little Ju's entire body began to tremble. She immediately lay on the ground and begged for mercy, but was unwilling to tell the truth no matter what.

"Hmph, you still don't know? Good, very good!" After he finished speaking, Bu Jinghua raised his right hand and the whip once again fiercely lashed onto Little Ju's body.

"Wuwuwu. Eldest Miss, please let me go. I beg you, wuwu!" Ever since Little Ju became a servant, she had always been under Bu Jinghua's command and had never suffered any grievances. It was just that she was occasionally accused of following an incompetent master and had no future.

Now, the person who treated her like a sister was actually slapping her. The master who had felt sorry for the bird after seeing it injured now dared to whip it with his whip.

Was it because she didn't understand her master, or because her master's personality had changed drastically?

If so, she would be in trouble.

Seeing the whips slapping on Little Ju's body, the surrounding maidservants were all stunned. The kind and good-natured Eldest Miss was actually so violent and cruel, wasn't she a little too terrifying?

In the past, even if they knew that the young miss was gossiping behind her back, they would not cause trouble for her. Now that they know about this, they wouldn't have any more fears. They didn't dare to say anything else in the future.

Each of the maidservants secretly reminded themselves that they were afraid that their young miss would come looking for them later in the autumn.

Miss, stop it, stop it, I'll say it, I'll say it, wuu!" Forcing a confession was not a difficult thing for Bu Jinghua. On the contrary, she did this quite a few times.

Hearing the sound of begging, Bu Jinghua stopped and waited there.

I say, wuu!" "Feverfew nodded in fear.

"Who was the one who planned all of this? Why aren't you telling me?" Bu Jinghua knew that once these words left Little Ju's mouth, it would be time for the gossip in the city to change the topic.

"I said, I said, it's …" Just as Little Chrysanthemum was about to speak, an arrogant voice shouted loudly, cutting off Little Chrysanthemum's words.

"What are you doing?" Her voice was rather high, purposely interrupting her words.

"Second Miss …" When she saw the newcomer, the one who was the most excited was Little Ju. She immediately stood up and rushed over, timidly hiding behind Bu Jingfeng.

"Nothing, I was only training a disobedient maid!" Throwing away the long whip in his hand, Bu Jinghua unhurriedly replied. He used his pair of ice-cold eyes to look back at Bu Jingfeng. Their four eyes met, and sparks collided.

Looking at the scarred face of Bu Jinghua, the corners of Bu Jingfeng's mouth curled up into a satisfied and mocking smile.

"Train?" Hmph, do you know that she is currently my servant? " Then, he looked at the bloody wounds all over Little Ju's body. He was shocked and angry at the same time. She was surprised that there was someone more ruthless than her, and that person was actually a good-for-nothing. The angry part was that everyone knew that Little Ju was already her favorite and that she still wanted to see who was the owner of the dog. Was Bu Jinghua trying to provoke her?

"Oh? Is that so? Wasn't she my servant all along? When did it become yours? " Bu Jinghua sneered, "Fine, I don't want this kind of dog that would bite its owner anyway. Since you're willing to accept it, Buddha will thank you!"

"You …" Bu Jingfeng's anger was not light. That good-for-nothing who was always afraid of her actually dared to openly oppose him now. Every word he said was filled with thorns and thorns. Every word he uttered was heard clearly. Was this still that useless idiot who was afraid of getting into trouble, yet was forced to do so? Even Bu Jingfeng was puzzled.

The reason why she was here was entirely because her grandfather told her to find this trash of an idiot. Fortunately, she had come, or else she would have been harmed by this little chrysanthemum.

She didn't want anyone to know that it had something to do with her.

However, I heard that this good-for-nothing idiot beat up Li Li, who is from Li Shang's family. That Li Li is not weak, he is definitely far above this good-for-nothing idiot. How could he be beaten up? Furthermore, he was beaten up quite miserably. I heard that he can't even get out of his bed.

Did he really get beaten up by this useless idiot?

Bu Jingfeng looked at Bu Jinghua with an extremely puzzled gaze: He was still as short as before, just as fat, just as that trashy idiot was before. How could he possibly defeat Li Li? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Just as Bu Jingfeng was rejecting everything, her measuring gaze also arrived at Bu Jinghua's eyes. Those eyes — their former cowardice had actually disappeared.

When did he become so calm and indifferent?

Bu Jinghua just stood there and did not care how the other party looked at him.

Bu Jingfeng was stunned. She did not think that she would be frightened by those eyes. Under their attentive gaze, she actually started to panic a little.

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, and it is not allowed to happen.

Bu Jingfeng calmed himself down, and said to Bu Jinghua in an arrogant tone, "Grandpa is waiting for you in the hall. Hurry and go!"

Bu Jinghua didn't reply. His gaze pierced through Bu Jingfeng and landed on Little Ju's face. He coldly said, "Today's matter is not over. Just you wait!"

With that, her gaze once again fell upon the small path that still lay weakly on the ground. She then turned around and walked towards the hall.

Looking at the calm back view, Bu Jingfeng's face was filled with jealousy and hatred. His complicated gaze gradually turned heavy.

"Grandfather, you're looking for me?" As soon as she stepped into the hall, Bu Jinghua felt a high-pressure atmosphere. With a 'shua' sound, several pairs of eyes in the hall shot toward her at the same time. They were like sharp swords, causing Bu Jinghua to feel as if many holes had appeared in his body.

So it was them! Bu Jinghua saw two men and two women standing by the side. Wasn't that four out of the five who came to cause trouble? They were currently standing there with their heads hanging low. When they saw Bu Jinghua enter, they couldn't help but smile with a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Why is there one missing? Looking at the four deflated pig heads and the tokens on their bodies, Bu Jinghua replied with the same joyful smile, which made the four of them roll their eyes in anger.

Among them, there was an old man who was similar in age to Batian. His aura was a bit more imposing than his grandfather. However, with his strict appearance, it seemed that his status would not be low. What was even weirder was that he was currently glaring at Bu Jinghua with an extremely furious expression, as if he was going to use Bu Jinghua to his heart's content.

However, Bu Jinghua wasn't scared of him in the slightest. He coldly glanced at the pair of old eyes. Bu Jinghua only cared about one person, and that was Bu Batian.

"Jinghua, come here!" Seeing the splendor, Bu Batian was not as strict as the old man. On the contrary, he looked quite at ease. If what Li Zheng said was true, then that meant that Bu Jinghua's physical strength had already reached its peak, surpassing Li Li's. Five years ago, Bu Jinghua's physical strength had been stuck at the middle stage, so no matter what methods he used, he couldn't improve.

"Master Bu, if you don't know how to teach your granddaughter, I can do it for you!" His face had already turned the color of a pig's liver, and it was so dark that it was scary, because he had already waited here for an hour, and after waiting for so long, that old fart Bu Batian actually did not even ask him to sit, and just stood there waiting without even a cup of tea, saying that he had slandered his granddaughter, and was talking nonsense. His grandson was about to be crippled, how could he joke around?

There were four other witnesses, one of them a member of the Bu Family.

"Humph, everyone in the city knows what kind of character your granddaughter is, even the hot topic after meals and tea is your granddaughter. Your granddaughter has already become the role model of the entire country, what kind of bad things can your granddaughter not do!" The old man glanced at Bu Jinghua with a look of disdain on his face. "Your granddaughter …" The three words were repeated many times to emphasize the point. Obviously, he was provoking Bu Batian's dignity.

I'm very satisfied with my granddaughter, so you should take more care of your grandson if you have time. Otherwise, if you lose your hands and feet, you might come running over and ask me. Bu Batian glanced at the back of his eyes and replied with an equally sharp gaze. In the eyes of Li Shang Shu and Li Shang, there was a thick smell of gunpowder.

"Bu Batian, don't be too quick with your words. You should know very well what your granddaughter did. The emperor will take her life sooner or later. If you hand her over to me now, we are still friends. Otherwise …" Li Shangshu was infuriated.

He did not know why the emperor did not punish Bu Jinghua's crimes, nor the Bu Clan's crimes. The strongest member of the Bu Clan was an old and useless man like Bu Batian, who had a little bit of innate talent but still died young when his eldest son was only at the eighth level of internal energy. His second son was mainly in the business world, and his martial arts was also lacking in elites. Why would the Emperor interfere if he wanted to flatten the Bu Family? His Li family was sufficient.

However, he did not really understand why the Emperor was afraid of the Bu Clan's fourth branch. Could it really be as the rumors said, that the Bu Clan had a mysterious organization behind them?

Hmph, even if there was, it wouldn't necessarily be that powerful. With just the bloodline of the Bu Family, what kind of talent could they possibly nurture? Train some scum as best as they can.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng's expression became even more sarcastic.

"Friend? "Hahaha!" Hearing these two words, Bu Zhentian laughed. The laughter shook the entire hall, causing Li Shang to feel that it was rather ear-piercing. Li Shang clenched his teeth and glared as he stood there, trembling in anger.

My Bu Clan does not need hypocritical friends. If I had to choose, I would rather have an enemy with a spear and a blade, than such a friend who is hard to guard against. I appreciate your kindness." Bu Batian said angrily, "Also, she is not someone you can take away just because you said so. So, you should leave, Mr. Li!" "Bu Batian made a gesture of 'please' to send the guest off.

"You … Just you wait, I'll make you regret it! " Finished speaking, Li Zhen flung his sleeves, angrily turned around and left!
