Chapter 652: Chapter 351: Deeper Misunderstandings, Love Beyond Control, Xiaotuan’s Past, The Sincere Lady (Part 4)

"Come with us into the residence, soon someone will help you with the arrangements."

"Just toss it on the mass grave, heh, that would save a lot of trouble."

Xiaotuan said, "No, no, I only wish for my mother to rest quietly."

The Steward cursed, "Ungrateful! Heh, then let’s wait and see. By then, you’ll be begging me to buy you." Turning, he left, while two Liu Family Nurses approached, standing on either side of Xiaotuan.

In such a manner, who would dare to buy her? Xiaotuan dragged her mother away, having no choice but to find another place. But the Liu Family Nurses followed closely. The world was cruel, bullying the weak. Xiaotuan felt hopeless, when suddenly she heard the sound of approaching hoofbeats.

A gentle female voice came from inside a carriage, "Uncle Xiang, stop."

Uncle Xiang pulled the reins, and the carriage slowly came to a halt. Uncle Xiang asked, "Madam, what are your orders?"

The gentle voice replied, "Look at that little girl." Uncle Xiang immediately leaped from the carriage, examined Xiaotuan’s face, and said, "She has a delicate appearance, quite acceptable."

One of the Liu Family Nurses said deeply, "We don’t know who you two are, but our Liu Family has already taken a liking to this girl."

The gentle voice spoke again, "Press her hand bone, and check if the middle finger has four joints." Uncle Xiang did as he was told and replied, "Madam, you are correct."

A soft mumble came from inside the carriage, "Barely acceptable."

The Liu Family Nurses said deeply, "If you two don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for not being polite!"

The two were about to force a confrontation. But the lady in the carriage, recalling past events, had just been betrayed by her beloved, feeling extremely depressed. She casually said, "Noisy."

Uncle Xiang immediately struck, with two "bang bang" sounds hitting the Nurses in their livers. The two Nurses flew backward, unable to bear the intense pain, crying out continuously. The Liu Family Steward heard the commotion and rushed over, but upon seeing the situation, he dared not show himself.

He immediately returned to the Liu Family to bring reinforcements. The lady sighed, "It seems my luck is not good, buying a little girl has attracted such a commotion."

Uncle Xiang promptly said, "Madam’s fortune is great, how could your luck be bad? These ruffians, I will quickly deal with them." Leaping up, his strikes came fiercely, injuring them severely.

He even crippled the Liu Family Steward and returned to the carriage. The lady said, "Follow me."

Xiaotuan, clever and astute, knew these words were intended for her. Blocking her body, she said, "I want to bury my mother."

The lady said, "If you pass the test, what’s difficult about burying your mother." Xiaotuan, having suffered much abuse, exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? You... you actually agree? You must be a good person."

The lady was too lazy to respond, for a mere burial, what difficulty was there? She was fair in rewarding and punishing her subordinates, naturally not refusing. She said blandly, "Follow along." Uncle Xiang had already begun to drive the carriage slowly. Xiaotuan gritted her teeth, dragging her mother, following slowly behind.

They reached a mansion. From a distance, Xiaotuan glimpsed the lady’s figure, white dress fluttering, hair like a long waterfall, fair skin. Exquisitely noble, extremely beautiful, every move elegant and dignified, but seemed in a bad mood, with a slight hint of resentment between her brows.

Xiaotuan had never seen such a beauty, feeling infinite admiration. She dragged her mother and approached, getting closer to the lady, feeling that closer observation was even better than from afar.

She knelt honestly in front of Wen Caishang. Seeing the lady sitting in the pavilion, legs crossed, skirt gently swaying, embroidered shoes exquisite, her attire every stitch and line extraordinary, a faint fragrance emanating.

Wen Caishang asked about her identity, background, and experiences. Xiaotuan recounted everything, telling it all.

Wen Caishang nodded slightly, ordering Uncle Xiang to prepare one hundred grains of Red Sand, one hundred grains of Green Sand, and one hundred grains of Yellow Sand, placing them in a black clay pot, and said, "You have until the end of the night to separate the sand. If you can complete it, I will bury your mother, even choosing a good feng shui location, it will not be impossible. If you can finish an hour earlier, I may kill the village tyrant’s family for you."

She said blandly, "If you cannot complete it, then leave."

Xiaotuan felt immensely grateful, immediately setting about sorting the sand. She took a silver needle and sorted the sand all night, losing herself completely. When she finished sorting, she went to ask Uncle Xiang, finding there was still an hour until dawn.

Wen Caishang was slightly satisfied, saying, "Still quite acceptable, in that case, I will choose a place to bury your mother. Lead the way."

Xiaotuan asked, "Lead where?" Wen Caishang said normally, "Last night, I promised you one more thing, that if you finished early, I would help you kill the village tyrant’s family."

Xiaotuan hated the village tyrant extremely, but when it came to truly killing them, she inevitably hesitated. Wen Caishang said, "Lead the way." Xiaotuan had no choice but to lead. Wen Caishang went to demand lives, and the village tyrant’s family all perished.

Among them was a boy, about the same age as Xiaotuan. Wen Caishang did not soften, a light strike took his life easily. Xiaotuan stared blankly, seeing the village tyrant’s family perish, feeling neither joy nor satisfaction, just silently retracting the words "You must be a good person."

For the first time, she felt fear. Later, her mother had a grand burial, and her father took the opportunity to move the grave for a reunion burial. Xiaotuan then went with Wen Caishang, only realizing later that the lady was skilled in her methods, establishing authority. Due to Li Xian’s departure, Xiaotuan, being selected as "Wearing Silkworm Clothes," naturally required some training and methods.

In the Aroma Pavilion, Xiaotuan thought back on the past, and quietly slipped away from the side door, thinking in her heart, "I don’t know what opportunity Madam will grant me, if it’s learning Divine Skill, hehe, that would be wonderful."

"Madam is so formidable, even learning half of it would be enough."
