The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Taohong and Liulu, whose eyes were tightly wrapped in silk, were kneeling on the ground, unwilling to get up.
Their pupils that had been dug out had been filled with medicinal herbs, and the doctors of the Cui residence, who were proficient in the art of medicine, used essential qi to treat and restore them — — Fortunately, they were born in the Cui residence and happened to be Miss Xiaoxin's personal maidservants. Otherwise, with their severe injuries, and having lost so much blood on the way back, they most likely would have died long ago and would never wake up again.
"Get up." Cui Xiaoxin's voice was full of exhaustion. "Your injuries have not healed, what are you doing kneeling on the ground? If your injuries worsen, I have to ask the servants of the residence to treat you — — I have to say a few more good words. "
If it was Cui Xiaoxin who was sick, the doctors of the residence would naturally do their best. But if it was just a servant who was sick, they would have to say a lot of good words and give them some benefits.
"Miss, I'm stupid, I'm sorry — —" Taohong sobbed. "I've implicated Miss, I don't deserve to die — —"
"It's all my fault. If I didn't hold Big Sister Taohong back, this wouldn't have happened … This time, not only did we implicate Young Miss, we also implicated Young Master Li. So many innocent people lost their lives because of us. This servant blames herself to death … It would be better for this servant to die. That way, this servant would feel better …"

Cui Xiaoxin was silent for a long while, reaching out to pull Taohong and Liulu up from the ground. "I know you have good intentions, but Xiaoxin has fallen into Song Tinyun's trap. He hadn't come for a few days, but suddenly came yesterday, and said so many harsh words in order to force me to take the initiative to contact Gongzi Muyang — — I didn't expect that I repeatedly told you not to be impulsive, but you still did not listen to my advice and went on your own. "
"Miss, I'm stupid — —"
"All right, all right. There's no point in saying these words again. The dead cannot be brought back to life, no matter how many apologies you say, you can't bring those who died because of this matter back to life — — You didn't see Gongzi Muyang? "
"No." "They said that Gongzi Muyang went out very early and never came back — —"
Cui Xiaoxin nodded and said, "That's good. If Gongzi Muyang is harmed because of us, then it really is — — "
"Miss …"
Hearing Cui Xiaoxin's words, Taohong and Liulu cried out of shame again.
They were just two servant girls in the mansion. They did not expect that Miss' fiancé would run to Miss and say so many malicious words, just to force Miss to take the initiative to contact Gongzi Muyang and flee far away, and then they would follow and set up an inescapable net to catch Gongzi Muyang in one fell swoop.
This kind of scheming, this kind of means, this kind of man, is he really a good match for Miss?
"It's not your fault. Xiaoxin trusted the wrong person." Cui Xiaoxin sighed softly. The boy who had protected her with his back without hesitation had long since left, never to be seen again. If she had a choice, she would not agree to such a marriage.
Unfortunately, in a rich and powerful family like the Cui family, which woman could decide her own fate?
"Miss, what do we do now?"
"What can we do? They're just three poor women. " Cui Xiaoxin sighed softly. "I'll give you some gold coins, and then send someone to send you back to your hometown — — this way you can take care of each other."
Taohong and Liulu were really frightened, plopping to their knees again.
"Miss, Taohong doesn't want to go back, Taohong won't go back even if I die — — Taohong is blind, but Taohong can still pour tea for Miss, can wash Miss' feet and comb your hair — — Miss, I beg you, don't drive Taohong away, Taohong won't go — —"
"Miss, I won't go either, I can't go back, if I go back there will only be death — — I won't be separated from Miss even if I die — — if Miss insists on going, I'll kill myself here — —"
Cui Xiaoxin sighed softly. "I'm doing this for your own good. You also know that I'm about to marry into the Song family, and at that time even I can't control my own fate — — if you follow me to the Song family, I'm afraid your lives will be in danger. After all, when they see your eyes, there will definitely be thorns in their hearts, and they might use some means to harm you. If you stay in the Cui residence, I'm afraid you'll also suffer a lot. I'll get someone to send you back to your hometown, to live with your parents and brothers, there will always be someone to take care of you — — "
"Miss, if you marry into the Song family, we'll follow you to the Song family, even if they jump into a well, we're willing — —"
"Yes, we're not afraid of death, we're just afraid that Miss doesn't want us anymore — — wuwuwu — —"

Looking at the two servant girls kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, looking at the relatives who grew up with her and were regarded as sisters by her, Cui Xiaoxin's heart was also in a mess.
Things, did it really have to develop to that point?

Jade Gate Pass. Northwest Barracks.
Jade Gate Pass' General Song Tian was a branch of the Song clan. Originally he was not valued by the Song clan, but because Song Tian had a reputation for bravery since childhood, and after entering the army, with his fearless style and brilliant military skills, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements and quickly rose in rank. Only then did he enter the eyes of the Song clan.
Under the promotion and training of the Song clan, Song Tian was in charge of the military at the age of 30, and was considered to have a high position and power, and could be called a hero of the generation.
Song Tian was not an incompetent general, under his command, the Jade Gate Pass was impregnable, and the Dark Flame Empire and the Peacock Kingdom could not take a step into the West Wind Kingdom.
Song Tian made his fortune through martial arts, and became famous for his wisdom. He was a man of both wisdom and courage.
Every day after dealing with military affairs, Song Tian would habitually practice several hours of unique cultivation technique 'Wave Technique' in the courtyard.
This was taught to him by an old friend of his grandfather. That elder was lonely, had no relatives and no descendants, but he was able to comprehend the 'Wave Technique'. Seeing that there was no successor, he accepted the grandson of his old friend, Song Tian, as his disciple and carefully taught him. That was how Song Tian quickly became famous, and then was valued by the Song clan and pushed to the high position he held today.
'Wave Technique' was Song Tian's private cultivation technique, and naturally did not want outsiders to covet and secretly learn it. Every time he practiced, he would drive everyone out of the courtyard.
Today was no exception. After everyone had gone out, Song Tian finally got into a training stance.
The 'Wave Technique' had just started, but there was already a strange development.
He found an unusual fluctuation, and he felt that the ripples were hostile.
"Who is it?" Song Tian shouted.
Above the courtyard, a white figure appeared.
It was a man, a handsome and extraordinary youngster.
His robe was wide and had large sleeves, and he was ethereal like a god.
However, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and when he looked at him, it was like he was looking at a dead man.
"Li Muyang." The handsome youngster said in a low voice.
"You are — —" Song Tian exclaimed. Although he was far away at the border, but he was still familiar with the name Li Muyang. What a joke, in the vast divine continent, who would not know the name Li Muyang?
This was the only evil existence in the divine continent.
"It's me." Li Muyang interrupted him. "Song Tinyun owes me a few heads, and specially came to collect the debt."
As he spoke, Li Muyang's figure disappeared from the sky.
A pink rainbow flashed in front of him. Song Tian's pupils dilated, and his eyes were filled with the scene of peach blossoms.
Screech — —
Blood splattered everywhere, and a head was raised high in the sky.
Li Muyang reached out and the head landed in his hand.

Handan City. The City Lord's residence.
Cheng Gang's body was a little fat, so when he got up from the body of his 31st concubine, it was quite strenuous.
He looked panting, and said aloud, "Bring a bowl of ginseng soup for Master — — Master was so tired just now, he needs to drink some ginseng soup to nourish himself."
The coquettish concubine responded, and hurriedly got up to call for the servant girl to bring in the soup. Although she did not feel that her Master had exerted any force, but since the Master said he had exerted too much force, then she naturally had to listen to his answer.
"Yezi, Yezi — — where did you die? Bring in a bowl of soup for Master. "
No one answered.
"This prodigal son, I don't know where he went to fool around — —" The concubine got out of bed naked, bypassed the screen and headed for the door. "Yezi, Yezi — — hurry get back here."
After shouting a few times, the servant girl who was waiting on the side finally came back. After instructing her to go to the kitchen to get some soup, the concubine turned back to the bed.
"Master, the ginseng soup will be here soon, I'll give you a massage — — Ah — —"
The concubine screamed.
Because she found that the Master's body was still lying there, but his head had disappeared.

Tiandu City. Zhenyuan General's residence.
Zhenyuan General was an extremely important role. After the death of Defense Minister Lu Xingkong, the Zhenyuan General and the military headquarters almost controlled the military power of the entire West Wind Kingdom. Of course, there were also some military power controlled by the major aristocrats and wealthy families, which was almost equivalent to the private property of each family and could not be easily transferred.
Therefore, this position was naturally held by people who were close to the Song clan.
Zhenyuan General Shangguan Wuliang was a direct descendant of the Shangguan family. And the Shangguan family was a loyal supporter of the Song clan, and had made great contributions in eradicating the Lu clan.
It could be said that, in the eyes of the Song clan, the Shangguan family was much more reliable than the Cui clan.
After all, the Shangguan family was a dependent family of the Song clan, while the Cui household was just a partner of the Song clan. They cooperated because of benefits, but it was also very likely that they would break up because of benefits.
Shangguan Wuliang had a habit of taking a medicinal bath in the courtyard of his house every noon. In that way, not only could he wash away the tiredness of the morning, but it could also make him energetic for the rest of the day. Persisting for a long time would have the effect of prolonging his life.
Today, when the servant girl brought him clean clothes, she found that the medicinal pool that he had used for many years had turned red, and a strong smell of blood made her want to vomit.
Shangguan Wuliang's body was floating in the blood pool, and his head was forcibly taken away.
"Ah — —" The servant girl let out a miserable and shrill scream.
