After Su Hao took the ginseng away, he sent Su Yingxue back to her room.

The moonlight was faint, making Su Hao’s eyes look gentle as they reflected a layer of silver light on them. “Sister, don’t worry. The ginseng is with me. You can come and get it anytime. I will look after it for you and won’t let anyone have the chance to take it away.”

Su Yingxue’s tone was calm. “I originally wanted to give these ginsengs to you. You can keep them for your own use.”

“It’s so expensive, you don’t mind?”

“It’s just a few pieces of ginseng. It’s nothing compared to my brother’s love for me.”

A trace of guilt flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes. In her previous life, Su Hao’s tragic death appeared in her mind. She had no intention of involving him in this matter tonight, but after her rebirth, she cherished every moment she spent with Su Hao.

Su Hao had never seen such deep guilt on a person’s face. It was as if she had done something sinful and was repenting and atoning for it.

But when had his sister ever committed such a grave sin?

Su Hao’s hand gently landed on Su Yingxue’s shoulder, and his tone was as gentle as the moonlight. “Sister, I will dote on you for the rest of your life. You don’t have to be reserved with me. If you suffer any grievances, come and tell me. I will definitely avenge you!”

“Alright.” Su Yingxue smiled. This was the first smile she had since her rebirth.

Su Hao watched as she returned to the courtyard. Shu Yan stood beside him with disbelief in his eyes. “Su Yingxue is really different from before. She has a brain now.”

Su Hao looked over with a serious gaze and Shu Yan immediately covered his mouth. “It’s Eldest Young Miss!”

Su Hao’s handsome face was full of heroic spirit. In this life, he would definitely protect his sister.

After Su Yingxue returned, just as she had expected, the courtyard was filled with people kneeling.

The few maids, old ladies, and manservants all looked at her with fear in their eyes, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Seeing that she was going back to her room to rest, Old Madam Zhang immediately said, “Please believe us, Eldest Young Miss. We are all loyal to you!”

Su Yingxue curled her lips coldly. “I don’t think so. Are you loyal, or are you afraid to continue being loyal to your master after seeing Yuan Xiang’s corpse?”

The expressions on the group of people’s faces were as if they had been dyed red. They were shocked, ashamed, and afraid.

Old Madam Zhang’s legs went weak as she knelt and begged her, “Miss, no matter who sent us here in the past, we will definitely do our best for you in the future. Please give us a chance, Miss. Don’t let us end up like Yuan Xiang!”

Everyone was afraid of death!

Yuan Xiang’s death was like a knife hanging over their heads!

Zhilan moved a chair for Su Yingxue to sit down. Su Yingxue said with a cold face, “Did you see Yuan Xiang’s corpse? Go and take a look! That will be the outcome of betraying, and helping others secretly while serving me! I, Su Yingxue, can’t tolerate this! Those who are willing to stay in my courtyard shall be loyal to me. Those who are unwilling can get lost now!”

Su Yingxue gave them a chance to consider. Two of the servants knew that Su Yingxue had a bad reputation. Now that they had the chance to leave, they immediately stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Old Madam Zhang and the others knelt and did not move.

Su Yingxue asked Zhilan, “How much is their monthly salary in the Marquis’s Manor?”

Zhilan said one by one, “Two little servant girls would get one tael every month, old madam is two taels every month, and the servant boy is one tael every month.”

Su Yingxue nodded. “From today onwards, those who are loyal to their master will receive five taels of silver per month.”

Old Madam Zhang and the others’ eyeballs almost popped out. “F-Five taels?”

This was money that many people could not earn in a year!

The Marquis’s Manor had never had such a high salary!

“Those who stay behind to serve me, Su Yingxue, will be treated well. Those who still have evil thoughts, I will punish them severely, understand?” Su Yingxue’s cold face exuded an extremely strong aura.

Old Madam Zhang and the others were extremely moved and convinced. They knelt down and kowtowed one after another. “Miss, we will definitely serve you well!”

“Us servants too!”

Su Yingxue asked them to leave, and she turned around to return to her room. Zhilan frowned and reminded her, “Miss, your monthly allowance isn’t much. Where are you going to get the money to give them such a high monthly allowance?”

Su Yingxue drank a cup of tea. It tasted dry, and she spat it out. “The old tea is almost finished, right?”

“Yes, Miss! There’s almost no old tea left in the house. If you can’t fulfill the five taels of silver you promised every month…”

“It will be honored. Someone will come to find me tomorrow morning. Zhilan, go to the door and wait tomorrow.”

“Who is it?”

Zhilan wanted to ask more clearly, but Su Yingxue fell asleep on the bed.

Her confident look suddenly dispelled the doubts in Zhilan’s heart.

The next morning, Zhilan stood at the door and was still puzzled. Who would come to look for Su Yingxue?

Giving her money?

Manager Qi had come to the Marquis’s Manor early to ask for Su Yingxue. Zhilan saw that he was dressed plainly and did not look like someone who would send money to Su Yingxue.

She brought Manager Qi to Su Yingxue. As expected, the first thing Manager Qi said was, “Miss, since you’re so capable, please save the medical center!”

“Miss, we don’t have any more money to give to the medical center!” Zhilan was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Manager Qi also looked troubled. “Although money is very important in running a medical center, Miss’s medical skills will definitely make a difference! The medicine that you gave me, I used it for two days, and the pain in my legs lessened a lot.”

Manager Qi looked at Su Yingxue with shining eyes.

Su Yingxue nodded. “Now that your legs are better, it’ll be easier for you to work. Take this back to the medical center first. I’m sure you’ll be able to sell it soon.”

Su Yingxue took out two Blood Clotting Grass and placed them on the table.

Manager Qi had been managing the center for many years and was very familiar with herbs. When he smelled the smell of the Blood Clotting Grass, he was shocked. “This Blood Clotting Grass has just been picked and is very fresh. It is especially effective when used as medicine. One pill can be sold for at least 3,500 taels.”

Two Blood Clotting Grass were seven thousand taels!

Zhilan was surprised and delighted. “Miss, this is great!”

Zhilan politely sent Manager Qi away. Manager Qi managed the medical center and had some connections. In just a day, he had sold two stalks of Blood Clotting Grass. He took seven thousand taels of silver to give to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue counted the banknotes. She kept three thousand taels for herself and handed him four thousand taels.

Manager Qi waved his hand repeatedly. “Miss, you should keep the money for yourself. You will definitely need money in the Marquis’s Manor.”

Manager Qi came to Su Yingxue’s courtyard twice and secretly sized the place up. Su Yingxue should be the most impoverished daughter in Jiang Du City.

He felt sorry for her on behalf of his old master.

“This money is for the medical center. Firstly, give the two old doctors a thousand taels of silver. Both of them have good medical skills and have suffered a lot with the medical center over the years. This money is to comfort them. Secondly, renovate and expand the medical center to a larger scale and recruit more people.”

Manager Qi nodded. “I’ll remember it. Miss, I’ll definitely do as you say. It’s only a matter of time before our medical center can be operated again.”

He looked at Su Yingxue, his eyes filled with hope.
