As Ling Yunfeng's palm pressed against the medicine cauldron, a muffled sound of "Ouch" suddenly came out, and a large string of light yellow flames spurted out from the palm of his hand, filling the medicine cauldron.
A hot breath suddenly filled the surrounding sky, and the flames in the medicine cauldron became more intense as Ling Yunfeng's strength increased.
Immediately, Ling Yunfeng made a move with his hands, pinched a medicinal plant in his hand, and immediately threw the medicinal material into the medicine cauldron without much hesitation. He controlled the light yellow flame of martial energy to wrap the elixir, smoke it, roast it and refine it.
Not long after, the medicinal material turned into a crystal liquid and was put into the jade bottle prepared by Ling Yunfeng.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yunfeng once again picked up a medicinal plant and threw it into the medicine cauldron. He once again controlled the flames of martial energy to carefully refine the medicinal plant...
After more than a month of training, Ling Yunfeng's alchemy techniques have obviously improved greatly, and refining first-grade elixirs is almost not difficult for him.
As Ling Yunfeng indulged himself in alchemy, time in the outside world slowly passed by. When Ling Yunfeng put away the fourth pill and flashed out of the cauldron refining space, the sky in the outside world had already darkened.
After taking a look at the gray sky, Ling Yunfeng had no intention of staying in the back hill and hurriedly ran back in the direction of Ling's house...
"Mom, I'm back? Mom? Huh? Not here?" Back in the courtyard, Ling Yunfeng first called out a few times to greet her mother, but no one responded after a while.
"Mom, are you there? Mom!" Ling Yunfeng called again a few times, but still no one responded. He glanced around the courtyard a few times, but there was no sign of his mother. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Usually his mother would have been back long ago.
Yeah, why haven't you come back so late today?
"Let's go and have a look. If it's too hard, just ask mother to stop working. I can take care of her in the future." After hesitating for a while, Ling Yunfeng decided to go to the place where his mother worked, thinking about how her mother works every day.
Ling Yunfeng felt a faint pain in her heart due to the fatigue of leaving early and returning late.
In a remote corner of the Ling family's backyard, there is a rather large yard. The yard covers an area of more than ten acres. A straight stone road extends directly from the gate of the yard to the depths of the yard, dividing the yard into two parts. On the left
There are piles of firewood like hills in one part, and there are many clothes drying racks on the right part, with a lot of clothes hanging on them.
This is where some low-level servants of the Ling family work, mainly doing rough work such as chopping wood and washing clothes. There are thousands of people in the Ling family's courtyard, but there are only a few dozen people working here, so in
Work here is much harder than elsewhere.
"You cheap maid, you just wash it when I tell you to. Why do you talk so much nonsense? After washing the floor, go wash Mrs. Xiao's clothes. You have washed Third Master's clothes before.
I believe you know how to wash Mrs. Xiao's clothes. If it damages your life, you can't afford to pay for it. Finish washing Mrs. Xiao's clothes and then chop the pile of firewood."
In a room in the courtyard, a woman who looked like a maid was gesticulating arrogantly at a middle-aged woman who was lying on the ground mopping the floor.
This maid has a curvy body and looks quite delicate. However, there are five red fingerprints on her fair cheeks. Obviously, this person cannot be anyone other than the green girl who was slapped by Ling Yunfeng before.
.
"Lvmei, I'm done with my work today, chopping firewood is not my job! I have to go back and make medicine for Feng'er.
Aren't you the one who always washes Mrs. Xiao's clothes? It's too late today, can I wash it for you next time?" The middle-aged woman on the ground raised her tired face and asked with a little pleading in her eyes.
This person is Ling Yunfeng's mother, Mrs. Su. When Ling Yunfeng was injured, the doctor prescribed him medicine for half a year. Although Ling Yunfeng said that his injury was healed, Ms. Su was still worried and would prepare medicine for him on time every day.
Drink, it's already past time to go back and prepare medicine for Ling Yunfeng.
"Humph, your work is done?" At this moment, a sneer came, and then a middle-aged man wearing a light blue steward's uniform came over and said: "Your work is arranged by me.
When I say it’s completed, it’s considered completed. If I say it’s not completed, it’s not completed. When will it be your turn to limit the work?”
"But...but" Mrs. Su wanted to argue, but the middle-aged manager interrupted her unceremoniously: "Just do it if you are told, what nonsense are you talking about? It's fine if you don't do it, then just leave the Ling family."
If you want to stay, you have to act honestly and don’t think of yourself as a wife, just a cheap maid!"
"Mr. Xiao, let me do it, can't I do it?" Hearing this, Mrs. Su was startled and nodded hurriedly, with a hint of grievance in her eyes, but she was helpless and had to do it. If she left the Ling family, what would happen to her?
Where else can I go, Feng'er has nowhere to stay.
"Humph, this is so decent! The maid must act like a maid and work hard, otherwise you will suffer." When the green girl saw Su Shi working obediently, she snorted proudly and then looked at the girl.
The middle-aged manager asked: "Xiao Wei, have you found that little bastard?"
"No, I've been looking for him for a long time but there's no sign of him, but don't worry, he should be back in the evening. I'll look for him again later and I'll teach him a lesson to avenge you." The middle-aged boy named Xiao Wei
The manager said that this person was one of the servants Xiao Xianghan brought over from his natal Xiao family.
Xiao Xianghan's natal Xiao family is a very powerful family. Even in the Helin Empire, it has a pivotal position. It is said that the Xiao family members also have a say in the elders of the Imperial Ministry.
Therefore, when Xiao Xianghan married into the Ling family, the dowry was quite large, and there were at least dozens of servants brought over. Among them, the green girl, Xiao Wei, and two other servants named Xiao You and Xiao Bing were Xiao Xianghan.
The most valued servant.
"Hmph, that little bastard Ling Yunfeng dared to hit me. I must not let him go, or at least break his hand." Lu Mei touched the red and swollen fingerprints on her face and said with a look of resentment.
"What, you want to teach Feng'er, Miss Green Girl, Feng'er is still young. If he does something wrong, you adults should let him go and don't teach him a lesson, okay?" Su Shi, who was lying on the ground mopping the floor, heard this.
After the two of them said this, they immediately stood up anxiously, grabbed the green girl's hand and begged.
"You bitch, you dare to dirty my clothes, go to hell." Green Girl looked at Su's hand that had stained a piece of her sleeve, and immediately shouted angrily and pushed Su to the ground.
"Sister Lu, I didn't mean it. Please don't embarrass Feng'er." Su collapsed on the ground, regardless of whether she was injured, she raised her head and continued to plead.
"Don't embarrass him? I think it's a bastard like you who gave birth to that kind of bastard. A bastard like you should have been drowned alive in the first place. I...I will beat you first today." The green girl became more and more angry as she spoke.
Then he picked up a mop nearby and threw it hard on Su's lower abdomen.
"Ah!" The lower abdomen was shaken hard, and the heartbreaking pain made Su Shi couldn't help but cry out, but she quickly held it back, gritted her teeth in a hurry, raised her head again, looked at Lu Mei and begged
: "Miss Green Girl, please let Feng'er go. If you don't feel relieved, you can hit me. You can hit me however you want, as long as you let Feng'er go."
"Okay, I'll teach you a lesson now, and I'll settle the score with that bastard later." Green Girl said in a cold tone, and then she raised the mop and threw it at Su with an angry look.
Seeing this, the faces of everyone in the courtyard changed slightly, but most of them were gloating about the misfortune, while Xiao Wei stood aside and sneered indifferently.
"You bitch, how dare you?" However, just when the mop in Lu Mei's hand was about to be thrown out, an angry shout suddenly sounded, and then a gray shadow flashed to Lu Mei's side, and a strong hand
He grabbed her wrist directly.
This gray figure is Ling Yunfeng. He originally came to visit his mother, but he didn't expect to see this scene. He couldn't bear it. If he didn't come today, he didn't know how his mother would be bullied.
Woolen cloth.
"Ah!" Green Girl's wrist was grabbed hard by Ling Yunfeng's pliers-like palm, and the huge force squeezed the soft wrist, causing her to scream in pain.
"You bitch, get out of here!"
"Pah!" Ling Yunfeng roared angrily, and slapped Lv Mei's other cheek hard, causing Lv Mei to spurt out a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth. She spun around a few times and staggered back a few meters.
outside, and then his butt fell heavily to the ground.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ling Yunfeng shook off the green girl and hurriedly ran over, squatted down, and helped his mother up and asked. Seeing her appearance at this time, his heart was like a knife.
"Feng'er, why are you here? Go quickly, go quickly!" Su Shi finally recovered from the shock of Ling Yunfeng slapping Lu Mei. The first thing that came to her mind was that Lu Mei and Xiao Wei would not be able to
After giving up, he hurriedly urged Ling Yunfeng to leave.
"Ah! Wuwu...! Xiao Wei, catch him quickly. You must break the hands of mother and son today. They dare to hit me." The green girl was thrown to the ground, and the pain from her butt and cheeks made her miserable.
He yelled, immediately came back to his senses, and shouted crazily towards Xiao Wei with a tearful voice.
Everyone in the courtyard and Xiao Wei came to their senses, and then Xiao Wei looked at Ling Yunfeng angrily and said: "You bastard, you dare to molest a girl. Even if the uncle and the old patriarch want to punish me today, I will definitely do it."
I’m going to break your hands and teach you a lesson for this bastard and this bitch.”
"Xiao Wei, what did you say?" At this time, Ling Yunfeng saw her mother's pale face, and her heart was full of anger. She turned around and looked at Xiao Wei coldly and shouted.
Ling Yunfeng clearly remembered that it was Xiao Wei who saw a naked man lying in his mother's room. He would not believe it if that incident had nothing to do with him.
