Medical Brocade

Chapter 1 Nightmare
In the 23rd year of Qi State, it was the cold night of winter.

In a quiet courtyard of a deep house, it was pitch black, except for one room to the north, where the lights were flickering and the ground was cold.

"Mother, why are your hands and forehead so hot? Are you sick? Ask them to ask them to find a doctor for you." The 13-year-old girl anxiously wanted to run out to find a doctor.

"Don't, cough, ask, they are all asleep now, if you provoke them, they will beat you." The woman on the bed was beautiful and haggard, with a sickly look on her face and an abnormal blush.

The girl trembled when she heard this, and a red scar was faintly visible on her hand, as if it was newly added.

She knew what her mother said was right, but the young girl couldn't bear to see her suffer so much: "Mother, then I'll go to the medicine garden to get some medicine."

The woman had no choice, and she didn't want to drag on her illness, so she could only nod her head: "Be careful."

The girl opened the door and couldn't help shivering when she encountered the cold wind for the first time. She turned around and closed the door for the woman, then tightened the padded jacket around her body, huddled up, and walked on the bluestone road of the large-scale deep house.

Walking into the medicine garden, the girl was about to bend over to collect herbs, but suddenly, there were some rustling footsteps from behind. The girl was like a frightened bird, with nowhere to hide. In desperation, she squatted low behind a stone in the medicine field.

Crouching in the darkness, the girl looked at a big tree not far from her, and suddenly covered her mouth with both hands, trembling all over, only showing a pair of frightened eyes.

There were four people under the big tree, one was a woman wearing a purple-red and gold-embroidered padded jacket, one was a man who looked like a housekeeper in a brown robe, and two were men in family uniforms.

"Have you brought it?" The woman said, her eyes were as cold as sharp sword blades.

"Go back to madam, it's right here." The housekeeper bent his body slightly, keeping a certain distance from the woman, and pointed to a sack carried by two servants. There seemed to be another person in the sack.

"Untie the sack," the woman ordered.

The housekeeper gave a slight signal, and the two servants put down the sacks in their hands, and one of the servants untied the mouth of the sack.

After the sack was untied, a bright and charming girl about 14 years old was revealed. The girl was unconscious and did not respond at this time.

The woman walked up to the girl, leaned over to look at her, smiled slyly, and said to the housekeeper, "Wake her up."

The butler took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, uncorked the bottle and twirled it around the girl's nose, and the girl woke up leisurely.

The woman squatted next to the girl in a condescending manner, clasping the girl's chin tightly, and the red Danko looked very coquettish at night.

"It hurts!" The girl gasped, the woman's nails were already embedded in her skin, she shook her head, as if she was not afraid of the woman, her brows were raised upright, and her tone was bad, "What do you want to do! "

"What are you doing?" The woman sneered, "Look at this face, it really looks like your foxy mother, if you want to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, go ahead and dream."

The girl suddenly struggled, broke free with one hand, pointed at the woman's nose and cursed: "Death poisonous woman, they are afraid of you, but I am not. I am not that bumpkin Qu Ruowen, I can bully you as you like."

With killing intent on her face, the woman raised her hand and slapped the girl. The sound was very crisp in the cold night, and a red mark immediately appeared on the girl's tender cheek.

Knowing that the woman was angry, the servant desperately grabbed the girl, preventing her from acting rashly again.

"You actually hit me!" The girl had never been wronged like this before, she glared at the woman bitterly, if it wasn't for the servant grabbing her, she would have rushed to fight the woman.

The girl could not move her hands and cursed: "Damn woman, no wonder dad married one after another, you deserve it!"

When the woman heard this, she immediately slapped the girl twice again.

Before the girl could speak again, the woman had already closed the girl's mouth again, forcing her to open it wide, and could only make a humming sound.

The woman stretched out her hand, and the housekeeper standing next to her understood, and immediately pulled out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. After the woman took it, she sneered and poured it into the girl's mouth.

"Get out...don't touch...help..." The girl struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were bound, so she could only shout desperately, but unfortunately she couldn't utter a word, her voice was like sobbing.

The girl who was hiding in the medicine garden and encountered this scene had no blood on her face. She took a step forward, stopped there, took a step back, and stopped there again.

At such a moment of hesitation, the girl in the woman's hand suddenly softened, and her proud head gradually drooped.

"Ma'am, what should I do with her?" The housekeeper pointed to the dead girl.

"Second Miss broke into the medicine garden in the middle of the night and touched the poison by mistake, what else can you do?" The woman sneered, quite satisfied with the girl's fate.

The butler understands.

"Let her lie here, someone will find out tomorrow." The woman straightened her hair that was blown by the cold wind, looked at the girl on the ground with disgust, and was about to leave.

When the woman turned around and was about to walk away, the girl who was hiding suddenly felt a pain in her foot, as if something was biting her, she flicked her foot quickly, trying to get rid of something on her foot.

"Who's there?" The night was very quiet, and the slight movement was very obvious. The housekeeper's face tightened, and he had already run to the place where the sound was made, and saw the girl hiding in the dark with her eyes wide open and her face ashen.

When the woman heard the words, she came over to take a look, and her cold expression became even colder: "So it's you, a country bumpkin, saying, what are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night?"

"I..." The girl couldn't write a sentence, and her whole body was trembling, as if a stimulus would make her faint.

"Ma'am, what should she do?" The butler grabbed the girl's arm to prevent her from escaping.

"What do you think, after hearing so many things that shouldn't be heard, and seeing things that shouldn't be seen for so long, who can keep a secret better than a dead person." The murderous intent in the woman's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"But the end of the year is approaching, and two young ladies died suddenly in the mansion, this..." The housekeeper seemed a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? This morning the Ye family came to divorce the engagement. Even the concubines look down on her. Tell me, what better reason is there?" While the woman was speaking, she had already handed the porcelain bottle to the housekeeper, and asked, "Let her drink it."

"Don't..." When the girl heard this, she was frightened by the scene just now, and with the courage and strength she didn't know where she came from, she bit the butler's wrist and broke free.

When the butler saw it, he immediately chased after her, and soon clasped the girl's hands behind her back. The woman came step by step, uncorking the bottle with her hands.

"Qu Ruowen, you are the one who bumped into me today, and you can only blame yourself for being stupid." As she spoke, the woman grabbed the girl's face and forced her to open her mouth.

"Don't...uh...no..."
