Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 39 Take action

The next morning, Ling Ruoli was washing up. She picked up a box of rouge and smelled the elegant fragrance. She was in a very happy mood.

Xiaohuan has been combing Ling Ruoli's hair. A month has passed, and Xiaohuan is still wearing a veil. Ling Ruoli is not used to others following her.

"How's your injury?"

"Thank you Miss for your concern. I feel better now."

Ling Ruoli sighed and said, "Take off the veil, let me see the wound." Xiaohuan paused with her hand holding the comb, and although she was a little hesitant, she still took off the veil. The wound has healed now, but it was too deep and not treated in time. Now there is a faint scar like an earthworm, affecting the whole face.

"How could this happen? This medicine is too bad." Ling Ruoli lifted Xiaohuan's chin and frowned.

"Miss"

"How about this, you try to cover it up with makeup, and let me think of another way," Ling Ruoli said.

Xiaohuan initially thought that the young lady disliked her current appearance. Although her face was disfigured, Ling Ruoli treated her better. She often saw the young lady holding a medical book, thinking that it must be for her, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

But the person lying on the couch didn't think much about it. As long as she flipped through the medical books and studied pharmacology, her experience points would increase by five points every once in a while. It was killing two birds with one stone anyway. Just by looking at the densely packed names of medicinal herbs, the appearance of the herbs appeared in her mind.

"Poria cocos, Angelica dahurica, Peach Kernel... they look good!" I happened to have a space, so I might as well transplant more medicinal herbs in case of emergency.

Thinking of this, Ling Ruoli got up, packed her things and was about to go out, but she never expected that someone would come to visit her and she couldn't leave for a while.

"I have nothing to do with you." Ling Ruoli was still angry about being kidnapped before, and her second sister came. Ling Ruoxi was now in the Dali Temple and held an official position, so it was better for her to stay away from her.

"I came here this time to confirm something with my elder sister," Ling Ruoxi said.

"What to prove"

The teahouse and restaurant run by Ling Ruoli had been open for a long time but had not paid taxes, and there was also an incoming horse farm.

"This doesn't seem to be your business?"

"Yes, I just asked casually. The main purpose is to remind you, elder sister, that there are always flower thieves around. You should be careful."

After hearing this, the "flower thief" Ling Ruoli stared at Ling Ruoxi and said, "Shouldn't you be careful?"

"Thanks for caring"

Ling Ruoli picked up the teacup and said, "Who cares about you? Don't you want to cultivate immortality? Why do you feel it's too far away and have to settle for the next best thing?"

Ling Ruoxi shook her head slightly, "The master said that my worldly ties have not yet been resolved, and my six senses are not yet pure, so I need more practice."

"is it?"

“So I wanted to do something.”

Ling Ruoli waved at her and said with a smile: "You trust him so much, and if you don't want the good stuff, then I will give it to you. Don't you think there is something fishy here?"

"Sister, you are too worried"

"I hope so." Ling Ruoli restrained his expression.

Seeing that Ling Ruoli insisted on leaving the house, Ling Ruoxi gave her a paper crane that could be used to deliver a message. Since it was a good intention, Ling Ruoli accepted it.

"Just because I accept it doesn't mean I forgive you for detaining me for three days."

"Ruoxi was just doing what she was asked to do. Big sister injured a court official, randomly deployed yamen runners, and then broke into a bandit's den and found out that she was gambling with the bandits." Ling Ruoxi said, "This is too absurd. Why don't you explain when you met Liao Han? This person is suspicious and is definitely not a good person. Big sister should stay away from him."

After listening to her talk, Ling Ruoli crossed his arms and replied impatiently: "You are so free!"

"Ruoxi's kind words are all I have to say. Ruoxi, goodbye." Seeing her leaving, Ling Ruoli hurriedly shouted "Wait!"

"Big sister, is there anything you want to talk about?"

"Indeed." Ling Ruoli directly slapped out with a fierce and decisive palm wind, but Ling Ruoxi dodged it easily and hit Ling Ruoli's arm with one hand, subduing him in an instant.

"Let me go." Ling Ruoli struggled, thinking about how she could save her face. She didn't expect to be defeated so quickly. Her anger suddenly rose. One of her hands was captured. Ling Ruoli swept her hand back, but was caught again.

"Sister, what is this for?"

"Didn't you see? Let's have a fight." Ling Ruoli leaned back and raised her legs, forcing Ling Ruoxi to let her go. Ling Ruoli then sprinkled a handful of powder at Ling Ruoxi. Unexpectedly, a long whip was swung at her. Ling Ruoli was tied up and stood in place.

By now the elders had arrived and the two young ladies started fighting. Xiaohuan had no choice but to order the servants to call the master. She wanted to step forward but was scolded by Ling Ruoli and could only stand there anxiously.

"You are so hateful." Ling Ruoli was furious. She was now tied up, and Ling Ruoxi was not much better off. It seemed that she was tricked. The powder just now was stuck on her body. She only felt pain and itchiness. Without caring about anything else, Ling Ruoxi immediately practiced her internal energy.

Looking at the person with the flushed face, Ling Ruoli was gloating instead. She walked over with small steps, tilted her head and smiled.

“Now you know how powerful I am.”

"What did you just spill?"

"Good stuff, but I remind you not to use your internal energy, because this thing will accelerate blood circulation and cause unbearable itching," said Ling Ruoli.

“Antidote”

"Let me go," Ling Ruoli said, and the whip loosened. She squatted in front of Ling Ruoxi with a smile, and sighed, "Tsk tsk, one hundred points will be your apology. The feud between us is settled." After stuffing a pill into Ling Ruoxi, she was about to leave.

But the courtyard was full of people. Ling Ruoli's wrists had red marks from being bruised. She stood there in a daze, while Ling Ruoxi next to her closed her eyes and said nothing.

Ling Rui said in a serious tone: "Li'er, what happened? How did you two get hurt?"

"Go get a doctor quickly." Lin Yuehua stepped forward to check Ling Ruoli's injuries.

Ling Ruoli shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

"Oh my, this is so scary," the second wife was still in shock, "What happened? The servants were shouting, 'Miss, you are going to kill the second lady.'"

Ling Ruoli hesitated at first, and then said in a crying voice, "It was a flower thief. If it wasn't for my second sister trying her best to save my daughter, my daughter's reputation would be ruined. Second Aunt, you still want to joke with me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. The second wife was embarrassed for a moment, "This is really that damn nonsense!"

Only then did Ling Ruoxi open her eyes, but her biological mother was standing behind her father. Seeing this, Ling Ruoxi smiled bitterly.

"Sister" Xiao Zhuo helped Ling Ruoxi up.

"Is Xi'er injured?"

Ling Ruoxi shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, father. My daughter is fine now, but..."

"Second sister, thank you so much." Ling Ruoli hurried over and shook her hand affectionately.

Ling Ruoxi sometimes admired her elder sister's ability to tell lies so easily, and no one had ever doubted her.

"Nothing," Ling Ruoxi said with a faint smile.

"You two have been frightened. Stay at home and recuperate today."

The head of the family spoke, and the two looked at each other and had no choice but to agree.
