They saw a cloud of burnt smoke rising from the sky above a courtyard, followed by an unpleasant burnt smell in the air, which shocked everyone.
"That looks like the yard that the young lady had cleared out!"
"The eldest lady went in this morning and hasn't come out yet!"
"Oh my God! Is there anything wrong?"
Thinking of this, the maids and guards all ran towards the yard, fearing that something had really happened to their eldest daughter.
"What's going on? What happened?"
When Old Master Feng heard the noise, he also ran out and looked around. When he saw smoke rising from above a yard, he was even more shocked: "What's going on there?"
"Grandpa, that is the yard that the eldest lady had people clear out. The eldest lady went in this morning and hasn't come out yet. The loud noise just now came from that yard. It sounded like something exploded."
The housekeeper who came running over said hurriedly, and just as he fell down, he saw the old man running towards the yard at full speed with his robe in one hand. Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment and hurried to catch up.
When everyone hurried to the yard, they were dumbfounded when they saw the scene inside through the gate.
Their extremely beautiful young lady was sitting on the ground, all black and dirty. The casual clothes she wore in the mansion had lost their original color. Her black hair was splashed with black foam and medicine residue, and the ends of her hair were slightly burnt and curled as if due to the high temperature. Her face was also black and white, and she sat on the ground coughing, looking very embarrassed, while streams of burnt smoke were pouring out of the room in front of her.
What is going on
Everyone stared in a daze, and someone came to their senses first and shouted, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Feng Jiu was thrown out and fell to the ground. She waved away the smoke coming out of the room in front with one hand, and coughed while covering her mouth and nose. She took a while to stand up. Looking back, she saw a lot of people outside the courtyard, so she waved to them.
"I'm fine. You don't have to hang around there. Just do what you need to do."
After saying this, she walked towards the alchemy room that was emitting burnt smoke. The first time she refined the elixir, the lid of the furnace exploded directly, and the airflow in the furnace sprayed out with the dozen or so spiritual medicines she used. Even she herself was unable to avoid being ejected by the airflow, making a mess.
She opened the window to let the smoke dissipate, and when she saw the scattered drug residue on the ground, her face was filled with pain.
"What a waste! It would cost a lot of money to buy it."
"Feng girl? Feng girl, are you okay?"
The old man who came from outside entered the yard and headed towards the alchemy room. The housekeeper was guarding the gate of the yard, while the others had already dispersed.
Turning around and seeing that it was him, she touched her nose and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm fine, I just wasted a furnace of good medicine."
"I'm glad everyone is okay. I heard the loud explosion and smoke and thought something serious had happened."
The old man was relieved to see that she was fine, just a little dirty. He looked at the messy things in the room and the alchemy furnace and asked in astonishment, "Are you... making alchemy?"
"I'm still learning! Look, this furnace is ruined." She shrugged helplessly: "It's easy to talk about it on paper, but it's difficult to implement it."
