Feng Ranchen threw up after only a few mouthfuls.

Hong Xiu quickly put the medicine bowl to the side and patted Feng Ranchen's back. After Feng Ranchen recovered, she slowly fed the rest of the medicine into the bowl.

Feng Ranchen drank the medicine. Her headache had been relieved a lot, but her nose was still full and she couldn't breathe properly. But no matter what, he was much more clear-headed now.

Feng Ranchen lay on her side with her eyes half closed. Hong Xiu cleaned up the mess she had made, placed the medicine bowl on a tray, and added another layer of quilts before leaving the room.

The room quieted down. Feng Ranchen's opened eyes kept opening and closing, and sleepiness came over her. In the end, she only felt that there were two people in the room.

"This doesn't look like a common cold, but …"

"I know."

"Hey, I say, don't you live in a good place in the Zhao Mansion?" Hey, I say, don't you live in a good place in a good place in the Zhao Mansion.

If Feng Ranchen was awake now, she would definitely recognize that the two people standing in the room were Su Qinghe and Yuan Yi, who left a few days ago.

Su Qinghe stood in the middle of the room with his arms crossed and looked around.

"Those things must have been here before."

Yuan Yi didn't even blink his eyes, as if everything was a foregone conclusion.

Su Qinghe saw Yuan Yi ignore him for a long time. He twitched his mouth and walked to Yuan Yi, patting his shoulder.

"In any case, I'm on your side right now, so just let me know."

Yuan Yi couldn't stand Su Qinghe talking to him in his ear, so he gave him a simple explanation.

"If we stay in the Zhao Mansion, there will be many inconvenient areas for us to take care of next. And your guess is right, those things are indeed here."

Su Qinghe's eyes lit up, "Where are they? Where are they?"

Yuan Yi grabbed Su Qinghe, who was rummaging around, and said, "I'm leaving."

"What?" Su Qinghe was confused.

This time, Yuan Yi didn't explain anything to him and dragged Su Qinghe, who was filled with curiosity, away temporarily.

Feng Ranchen, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have fallen into a nightmare as her brows furrowed.

"Miss, watch carefully."

Feng Ranchen turned her head abruptly, but there was no one behind her. The voice was clearly whispering in her ear, so how could there be no one there?

"Ah!" The shrill cries of a woman caught Feng Ranchen's attention.

However, the scene before her eyes caused her to shut her eyes involuntarily.

The girl was lying on the ground without a single piece of clothing on her. Her body was covered in wounds caused by the whip. A long line was drawn from her left eye to the corner of her mouth, completely ruining her face.

"Pui, you little slut. You actually want to climb onto the young noble's bed? You want to fly onto the branch and become a phoenix? Hmph, you overestimate yourself." A beautiful woman holding a whip full of barbs was pointing at the injured woman and cursing at her.

"Watch carefully." The sound beside her ears was like a thunderclap. Feng Ranchen unconsciously opened her eyes wide, watching as the girl was beaten until she fell into a pool of blood. She couldn't even hear her own breath.

When had Feng Ranchen ever seen such a bloody scene? With a loud shout, she abruptly sat up.

The cloth on her forehead fell down onto the blanket, causing Feng Ranchen to pant rapidly. Her vision darkened.

So it was just a dream.

Feng Ranchen heaved a long sigh and wiped the sweat off her face.

"Ah!"

His hands were covered in blood.

Feng Ranchen's eyes were glued to her hands, which were covered in blood. The slippery sensation made Feng Ranchen shudder. Feng Ranchen tried her best to wipe her hands on the quilt, but she couldn't. The originally pink quilt was now covered in clumps of blood. At this moment, Feng Ranchen's mental state had been stretched to the limit and she couldn't help but shout out.

"Second Young Madame, Second Young Madame."

Feeling a violent shaking, Feng Ranchen opened her eyes. It was the face of an unfamiliar woman.

"You, who are you?" Hong Xiu asked reflexively. She had yet to recover from that feeling.

"This servant is Xiao Qing." Xiao Qing raised the teacup in her hand and fed Feng Ranchen some water, "This servant heard that there was a disturbance in the room, so I came in on my own accord. Please forgive me, Second Young Madame."

Feng Ranchen drank a few gulps of water with lingering fear in her heart and waved her hand, forcing out a smile. Don't worry, I won't blame you. Right, where's Hong Xiu? "

Under normal circumstances, Hong Xiu would usually stay by his side, so why was she not seeing him now?

"Sister Hong Xiu? Your servant didn't see Big Sister Hong Xiu. When I came, there was no one in the room. " Xiao Qing glanced at Feng Ranchen with a troubled expression, "And when this servant came in, the room's door was left open. Sister Hong Xiu was too careless." Ah, this servant didn't do it on purpose … "

When Xiao Qing saw the displeasure on Feng Ranchen's face, she thought that she had offended Feng Ranchen by saying bad things about Hong Xiu, so she quickly knelt to the ground.

"Get up and leave." Feng Ranchen didn't say anything and just told Xiao Qing to leave.

"Yes." Xiao Qing kept her head down, so Feng Ranchen didn't notice the strange smile on her face.

Feng Ranchen was indeed a little angry. It was a grave mistake for a servant girl to throw her master here.

However, she wasn't a confused person. The reason Xiao Qing said that just now was obviously to make her blame Hong Xiu. It was a common trick used by servants. How could she fall for it so easily?

After thinking about it carefully, Feng Ranchen realized that she had never seen this little girl in the mansion before. However, she had a strange feeling. She felt like she had seen this face somewhere before.

Feng Ranchen closed her eyes once again. She seemed to have had a terrifying dream. Even her palms were covered in sweat. How come she no longer had any impression of him?

"Hey, have you seen Zhao San today?" A thin man walked beside attendant and poked him.

"Cough, I've never seen him before. I haven't seen him since this morning. Why?" The thin man coughed lightly and asked in confusion.

"What? That Zhao San borrowed a few taels of silver from me a few days ago and said that he would pay it back today. But today, I don't even see a shadow of him." The man spat indignantly.

The thin man patted his shoulder sympathetically, "He must have gone into hiding this morning. You should know that Zhao San likes to gamble, so he must have lost it all again." You don't know when you'll get your money. "Hahaha."

"If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have lent it to him." The man cursed a few times and kicked a rock by the side of the road. The rock rolled into a corner with a rumble and was covered up by the dense weeds.
