Shen Cheng and Wanqian had even perford such intimate acts right before her very eyes.
"Passionate as fire, I like that. Not like so people, lifeless and dull, like a dead fish, completely inept at pleasing a man."
"Brother-in-law, you’re terrible! Sister is a lady, you know."
"A lady? I don’t like dead fish either. I only like won who are burning with passion."
"HEHEHE."
The man’s lewd laughter and the woman’s soft moans—an erotic scene vividly playing out right in front of her.
That scene stabbed her like a knife, each mont cutting into her repeatedly, leaving her bloodied and raw. Her tears had dried, her heart had died. In the end, Shen Cheng had even given her away to others. HA HA HA!
Shangguan You suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face even as she cackled. I really must have been blind to fall for Shen Cheng, that heartless wretch.
Grandpa, Wanyou has failed you, I’m so sorry. Watch from the heavens as your granddaughter pushes that despicable couple into the depths of hell! The suffering they inflicted on , I will reclaim it, piece by piece!
"Miss, how are you? Are you alright?"
Hearing Shangguan You’s cries, Mama Zhang knocked on the door, her voice laced with anxiety.
"SOB SOB SOB... Mama Zhang, I’m fine. I’m just a little sad, Mama Zhang."
Seeing Mama Zhang, her face etched with distress, find the key and push open the door, Shangguan You threw herself into her arms and wept softly.
"Silly child. You’ve suffered so much. I know how much pain you’re in." Mama Zhang gently patted her trembling shoulders. My poor young miss, she hasn’t cried like this in so long. Cry, child, cry it all out. Let out all the pain, all the bitterness in your heart. Then, my young miss will be herself again.
"SOB SOB... Mama Zhang."
Shangguan You cried even harder. In her mories, after her own mother, Mama Zhang was the person who had treated her best.
"Miss, when we return to the capital, you must hold your head high and your chest out. Don’t ever let those two wretched won look down on you! My young miss is always the best. The Madam and I will always support you."
Mama Zhang wiped away a tear. Ever since the Madam left and that mother-daughter pair arrived, the young miss has suffered so much. If it weren’t for the Old Master’s protection, who knows what would have beco of her. And that incident a year ago... it must have been their doing, that wretched mother and daughter.
"Yes, Mama Zhang, I know. I will make that mother and daughter regret everything. I will take back what they owe , piece by piece."
"There, there, Miss, don’t cry. We only have to stay here for one more month, and then we can return to Beijing. You’ll see the Madam then. If the Madam knew you were crying, she’d be heartbroken too."
"Mm." An image surfaced in her mind: a woman as gentle as water, with warm eyes, a smiling face, and a soft voice. That was her mother, such a talented and wonderful woman. It was a pity her father had been blind enough to divorce her and marry that vile woman.
"Alright, go take a bath. I’ve cooked your favorite dishes." Mama Zhang gently patted her shoulder, gave her a reassuring look, and then went downstairs.
In her previous life, apart from her grandfather, she had no other family. That was why, when she heard about a half-sister stranded sowhere, she had disregarded her grandfather’s objections and brought Wanqian ho. Unfortunately, she had brought back an ungrateful wolf. But in this life, so many people cherished her. She would not let them down.
After eating dinner with Mama Zhang downstairs, Shangguan You clung to her like a child, making her laugh and basking in her warm, motherly affection. Only at Mama Zhang’s insistence did she finally go to her room.
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, cald her turbulent emotions, and told herself again and again: I am Shangguan You now, not Wanyou. I’ve been exiled. Only when I return to Beijing can I begin my revenge, step by step. For now, I must endure. I must resist the urge to seek vengeance on that despicable couple imdiately.
Entering the space again, she circulated the dicine King Canon within her body. Threads of warmth spread throughout her, making her feel exceptionally comfortable and light. Her body felt filled with strength, her mory had sharpened, and even her vision had improved. The clothes she had been wearing, originally clean, were now soaked with sweat and covered in black impurities.
It seems the dicine King Canon can truly improve one’s constitution and expel all the impurities from the body.
She stripped off her clothes, her entire body covered in a sticky substance.
Water, cleanse! With a thought, a stream of cool, refreshing Spring Water cascaded down over her from head to toe. Since there was no one else in this space anyway, she had even built a small bathing area. This way, she could bathe here directly, and the bathwater could then be used to water the dicinal herbs—killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, all these things required only a thought. Whatever she roughly pictured in her mind would appear exactly the sa within the space. It took no effort on her part at all.
After changing into a fresh set of clothes, she entered the space once more.
She casually picked a few fruits to eat and so lotus seeds to nourish her complexion, while the dicine King Canon continued to revolve in her mind.
Looking at the rust-covered pill furnace in the tower, and then thinking of Mama Zhang’s aged face, she knew it was ti to refine so elixirs to help improve her family’s constitutions.
Youth-preserving Pill, Health Pill, antiseptic dicine—three low-level formulas surfaced in her mind. The Youth-preserving Pill could maintain one’s appearance; regular consumption could even enhance beauty and rejuvenate the body, making one look younger. The Health Pill could treat minor illnesses and aches, acting like a small clinic; as long as it wasn’t a major illness or severe pain, it could cure the ailnt with a single dose. The antiseptic dicine had the ability to heal wounds instantly without leaving scars. As for how effective it truly is, I haven’t tested it yet, so I’m not entirely sure.
As for the dicinal herbs needed to refine these elixirs, this space had an abundance of them; flowers and plants were the most plentiful things here.
Wandering through the space, she visualized the required dicinal herbs and picked them accordingly. With just a few thoughts, the herbs automatically transported themselves next to the Purple Furnace.
"Ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Northern Bean Herb..." Shangguan You muttered to herself as she tossed the dicinal herbs into the dicine King Cauldron one by one. Only after all the ingredients for the Youth-preserving Pill recipe were inside did she cover the cauldron with its lid.
