Chapter 2 Promise yourself
  The men in black chased them all the way, and at the end of the road was the huge Taishi Mansion. They were not surprised by Shen Zhuoxi's answer.
  Their attention was all focused on Gu Jing, and they didn't pay attention to her inconspicuous figure at all.
  Just treat her as a slave girl who has been beaten and punished, and she will be dealt with in a while.
  No one expected that as soon as he got closer, several pebbles flew out of Shen Zhuoxi's hands at the same time, hitting his critical point accurately.
  They didn't even have time to make a sound!
  The man who was clinging to the well wall heard the sound of falling to the ground, worried about Shen Zhuoxi's safety, and quickly jumped out.
  What he saw were those men in black lying on the ground in a mess, lifeless.
  Only then did he realize that Shen Zhuoxi was not betraying him, but was leading the person to him and solving the problem quietly!
  The man looked at Shen Zhuoxi carefully with surprise - he was skinny and ragged, with traces of beatings all over his body, and a hideous bloody scar on his face.
  However, since he can deal with seven or eight grown men without any movement, it shouldn't be like this!
  And why didn't she escape his threat just now? !
  While he was looking at Shen Zhuoxi, Shen Zhuoxi was also looking at him momentarily.
  He is also dressed in black. The difference from the fallen man in black is that the corners of his black clothes are embroidered with the coquettish red Higan flower.
  Even the white mask covering his face had a small flower printed on it, leaving a pair of eyes like stars exposed.
  The eyes were pretty, but the light inside them was like a sharp sword, seeming to pierce through Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi saw his doubts and said: "You attacked too quickly and I was unprepared. After all, I saved your life. Do you still want to kill people and silence them?"
  If she hadn't been afraid that their fight would make too much noise and attract the nursing home, involving the two people she killed at the bottom of the well, would she have saved an unidentified person who threatened her with a sword?
  The man had a complicated look on his face and looked back: "I will repay you for saving my life."
  "The ghost will not be solved within three hours of being dispersed. It is difficult to be cured by gods. What kind of reward can I get?" Shen Zhuoxi's eyes fell on his injured shoulder and he snorted coldly.
  The man frowned and said suspiciously, "Do you know about Ghost Soul Powder?"
  Could she not know?
  She personally developed the Ghost Powder, but she didn't expect that after her death, the poison recipe would leak out.
  As Shen Zhuoxi thought about it, her mind suddenly buzzed - she had never announced the recipe for Ghost Powder to the public, so why was the person in front of her poisoned?
  Could it be that the person who pushed her off the cliff developed various secret recipes for her to kill her?
  Shen Zhuoxi's mind was a little confused, so he sat down on the edge of the well, looked up at the dark clouds that had blocked the moonlight for some time, and said absently: "I happen to know..."
  "Boom." The thunder interrupted her.
  Just a moment later, there was lightning and thunder, and one of the lightning bolts came directly towards Shen Zhuoxi.
  In the moment of distraction, the man quickly picked her up and barely escaped, and where the two left, a pit with black smoke appeared.
  Damn it!
  What kind of hatred is there? He has been reduced to this and he still bullies her!
  Shen Zhuoxi was so busy cursing God in his heart that he didn't even realize that the two of them were hugging each other.
  The man lowered his head and was lost for a moment - she was in a mess all over, and her face was not much better, but her eyes were cunning and agile, brighter than the stars in the sky.
  It’s like those eyes in my memory!
  He coughed unnaturally, let go of her and was about to leave: "The weather in summer is unpredictable. It's going to rain soon. Go in quickly and pretend that nothing happened today."
  "Wait a minute!" Shen Zhuoxi called out to him: "The poison on your body is drawn with red under the moon, three qian of snake gall, two qian of earth dragon, two qian of heavenly grass... Boil it into a paste and divide it into a paste. Take three meals."
  The man's expression was hidden under his mask, but his frown betrayed his suspicion: "It is rumored that there is no cure for Youhun Powder. Will the method you mentioned work?"
  "Would you know if you try it? I'll help you deal with the people who are chasing you, and you can help me avoid the lightning strikes. We'll be even." Shen Zhuoxi said, changing the topic.
  "But, if you untie the Ghost Soul Powder, you will owe me a life again. You have promised to save your life with your life. From now on, you will be my subordinate and be used by me."
  "Subordinate?" The man didn't miss the flash of cunning in her eyes, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised. Unexpectedly, there was a bit of amusement in his eyebrows.
  "Did the second lady misunderstand me? Isn't the intention of promising me my life to be your husband?"
  "It's not easy to become the husband of the second young lady of Taishi Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi ignored his teasing and said seriously: "Fangzi can only suppress the toxicity."
  "It happens to be tomorrow night after you take the medicine. Come back here and I will tell you how to completely detoxify."
  She kept a hand.
  He had been living in the Valley of the Divine Doctors before and didn't know much about the outside world. The original owner of this body had left a lot of mess to clean up, which gave him a headache.
  The man in front of him has strong martial arts skills and a not bad mind. If he can be driven by her, it will be easier for him to act in the future.
  The man pondered for a moment, his starry eyes moved slightly, he took off the jade ring from his finger and threw it over: "If the prescription is useful, I can consider your proposal. I will still be here tomorrow night."
  The jade ring finger makes the whole body feel cold, which is a good thing at first glance.
  But why did Shen Zhuoxi sense a familiar scent from above? !
  Her thoughts instantly returned to the moment she fell off the cliff. Although she didn't see who pushed her, her strong sense of smell allowed her to smell a unique smell.
  It's very similar to the scent on this jade ring finger!
  Could it be that the person who killed her was related to that man?
  When Shen Zhuoxi looked up again, the person was gone. She squeezed her jade finger and followed her original memory back to her residence.
  Sooner or later she will find out who killed her, but now the first priority is to solve the immediate matter first.
  I have to say that the second young lady of Taishi Mansion is really not doing well.
  The small attic where I lived was remote and dilapidated. Apart from a simple table, chairs and cabinets, there was not even a decent thing in the house.
  Shen Zhuoxi glanced briefly, and the pain on her body amplified after she relaxed. She was about to find a way to go out to get some medicinal materials, but there was a noise outside the door.
  "If you dare to steal anything, our wife is kind enough not to beat you to death. Look at you, the master is a shameless loser, and the servants he raised are sneaky and shady!"
  "I really didn't steal anything. Please help me. The second lady's injuries are very serious, especially on her face. If she doesn't get treatment quickly, there will be scars. After all, she is a girl and she needs to get married."
  "She's so crazy, she can't even speak, does it matter whether she has a scar on her face or not? Now that she's notorious, she still expects to get married? What a joke!"
  "No matter what, the second young lady is Princess Xiaoqing's flesh and blood. For her sake, you can't do this!"
  "Bah, Princess Xiaoqing has been dead for more than ten years, and even the Queen Mother has turned a blind eye to this little trash. You are the only one who has no eyesight to see it, and you still come up with it. Besides, who is a despised disaster star? Miss?"
  Along with the noise, two women came in one after another.
  Shen Zhuoxi inherited the memory of the original owner and recognized that the arrogant one beside the eldest lady was Grandma Wang, and the one who defended her was the only servant beside the original owner, Grandma Ju.
  Shen Zhuoxi pinched his temples and sighed secretly: The original owner was really miserable. He was tortured to this point. There are still many people who want to find trouble.
  In the past, the third young lady sent people to kill people and silence them, and in the later period, the eldest lady sent people to show off her power.
  However, now that she has taken over, no one can bully her anymore, and all the past grudges will be repaid for her one by one, which is considered as repayment for the use of her body.
