Outside the city of Yanjing, at the foot of the rarely visited Cangshan Mountain, there is a dilapidated courtyard with its own entrance.
Few people know that the person living here is Nalan Hexi, the third illegitimate daughter of Nalan Zhengze, a famous genius doctor in Yanjing.
Because this place is desolate and the spiritual energy is thin, even birds and animals rarely appear, so it is impossible to grow spiritual herbs and trees. Even ordinary fruit crops cannot survive around here.
It was already past the hour of Mao, and mountain breezes blew through the courtyard from time to time, bringing with it gusts of dry and chilly air.
But Nanny Chen was still wandering in the courtyard, looking towards the dilapidated gate from time to time.
The lady has been missing for more than a day. Why, why hasn’t she come back yet
Her gaze turned to the main room which was still brightly lit, and she finally couldn't help but walk towards it.
As soon as the door was opened a little, a strong smell of alcohol and noisy shouting came from inside.
It was already late at night, but a group of servants had gathered in the main room of the villa, gambling, drinking and having fun.
Nanny Chen walked in cautiously, her face full of panic as she said, "Butler Li, the young lady hasn't come back for a day and a night. I'm really worried that something has happened to her. Please do me a favor and send someone to look for her."
The noise in the room suddenly quieted down.
"I was wondering why I had such bad luck today. It turns out that you are the unlucky star that caused me trouble."
Butler Li, who was sitting at the head of the Pai Gow table, kicked the stool next to him fiercely and said fiercely, "It has nothing to do with us that your young lady didn't come back. Maybe she ran away with a strange man outside."
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and someone echoed, "I heard that her mother seduced Doctor Nalan and shamelessly became his concubine. It's true that like mother, like daughter. If the mother is such a whore, how can the daughter be any better?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Nanny Chen's face flushed red, and her cloudy eyes bulged out of anger. "You are not allowed to slander the lady..."
"Hahaha, you're just a little bastard. You don't even have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, and you dare to call yourself a lady? Don't embarrass yourself!" A servant standing next to Butler Li sneered.
"That's right. If it weren't for Doctor Nalan's kindness and medical skills, why would he allow her to live here and send so many of us to serve her? Bah! A bastard who came from nowhere, and a useless waste, it would be best if she died, so that she wouldn't bring shame to the Nalan family."
As long as that waste Nalan Hexi really died, they could go back to the Nalan family instead of being exiled to this godforsaken place with no money and no chance of improving their cultivation.
"Shut up!" Nanny Chen's eyes were red as she rushed towards them. "You bunch of evil slaves, you were clearly sent by the master to take care of the young lady, but you occupied the master's main house and drove the young lady and I to live in the woodshed, making us live worse than dogs!"
She looked like a madman, and Butler Li didn't react in time. He grabbed a handful of her hair and strangled her neck, causing her to cry out in pain.
Nanny Chen seemed to want to die with him. She pulled his hair and scratched and scratched, shouting hysterically: "If the young lady dies, I will die with you!"
"Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back to the Nalan Mansion and tell the master about your rebellious behavior. I don't believe that Master Nalan really doesn't care about the life and death of the young lady. Even if the young lady is really abandoned, you, a group of treacherous slaves, will not have a good end!" (To be continued)
