Yue Ling was stunned. At that moment, his face—which usually showed no expression—looked incredulous. “…Master?”
Rong Xiu calmly asked, “What, did you not understand what I said?”
A chill ran down Yue Ling’s spine as he hurriedly controlled his expression and lowered his head. “I understand!”
“I heard that there was someone else with her when she came here previously?” inquired Rong Xiu suddenly.
Yue Ling instinctively said, “Are you talking about Duan Ziyu?”
Rong Xiu’s hand lightly knocked against the table twice.
Yue Ling’s heart went cold.
Yan Qing hurriedly hinted to him.
After a long while, Yue Ling then reacted. “You’re talking about… Qiang Wanzhou?”
Rong Xiu’s expression didn’t change, but his body aura became much colder.
Seeing that his master seemed to become much more dangerous, Yue Ling couldn’t care about much as he hurriedly repeated whatever he knew about Qiang Wanzhou to him.

As he talked, he realized that his master’s expression became much calmer. His heart beat wildly as he hurriedly added, “I think that Liu… Madam only treats Qiang Wanzhou as a child…”
Rong Xiu suddenly smiled as his thin lips curved up at an angle. He said with deep meaning, “So this means that a large portion of the herbs she previously bought from here was for Qiang Wanzhou?”
“…This… I’m not too sure either… Madam is a heavenly doctor after all, and it’s natural that she needs herbs… Perhaps she’s refining medicine for herself!”
Rong Xiu smiled with even deeper meaning.
Yue Ling immediately shut up.
“Did she say when she would come back to collect the herbs again?”
Yue Ling lightly said, “…Tomorrow.”
Rong Xiu leaned against the chair and gently closed his eyes. “We’ll wait for tomorrow then.”

On the other side.
After Jiang Yuzhi was chased out of Hundred Herbs Building, her blood boiled, and she was desolated.
She walked on the streets aimlessly. As she walked, she kept replaying the incidents that happened during this period.
After much thought, she realized it was all because of Chu Liuyue that she repeatedly suffered such humiliation again and again.
The more she thought, the angrier she got. However, she didn’t return to Hundred Herbs Building because her brother’s warning kept reverberating throughout her brain.
But the moment she walked a distance, a masked man suddenly appeared in front of her.
She quickly surveyed her surroundings, but she realized that she had unwittingly walked into an isolated alley.
This masked man coincidentally blocked her path here! Also, the thing was that she secretly came out today and didn’t bring any guards with her. Hence, she was alone.
The masked man didn’t say anything and just walked toward her.
Jiang Yuzhi was petrified as she instinctively moved backward. “D-don’t come over! Let me tell you—I’m the Jiang Residence’s Fourth Missy!”
The masked man said with a hoarse voice, “I’m precisely looking for you!”
Then, his figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
Jiang Yuzhi gasped.
The next moment, that masked man appeared in front of her.
She instinctively gathered her internal force and punched him.

The other party raised his hand and easily stopped her punch.
Jiang Yuzhi’s face changed, but the other party had already held her wrist tightly as he walked forward and harshly bent it.
“Ah!” Jiang Yuzhi yelled out in pain as her body immediately collapsed on the ground.
The masked man attacked continuously. Jiang Yuzhi—who was being attacked—couldn’t retaliate at all and was forced to endure the pain.
As if on purpose, the other party specifically chose to hit where it hurt the most.
Jiang Yuzhi was in so much pain that her face paled. In the end, she couldn’t even yell out in pain.
After some time, her eyes finally rolled upward, and she fainted.
The masked man stopped and looked down at her from above. “How weak…”
Even though he hit her himself, he still felt unknowingly good about it as he looked at her. “I’ll let you live for today…”
He turned around and left.
Jiang Yuzhi—who was unconscious and laid on the ground—slowly opened her eyes.
But the next moment, the masked man—who had laughed—abruptly appeared again.
Jiang Yuzhi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.
However, the masked man suddenly laughed. “If you want to look, you can look more. Anyway, today… It’s just the start.”
