Chapter 9: Do you want this wealth and honor?

Just as Xu Zhaozhao put down the bamboo stick and the bamboo tube, she made a mark on them.

Xu Zhaozhao is a plant-based ability user, so naturally she can extract the characteristics of plants for her own use.

Just now, she had applied a faint jasmine scent to it, so that anyone who touched it would be tainted by it.

Moreover, even if the fragrance fades, it's impossible for it to completely disappear within three days.

Moreover, it was she who did it in the first place, so even if others couldn't smell it, she could still find out through her own means.

The person who came up with such a vicious idea is truly clever.

After much thought, Xu Zhaozhao concluded that the person who had been staking out the mansion for the past few days was probably targeting her.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't even need to send anyone to investigate. She stood quietly in front of a peach tree, with lush green grass at her feet. Unbeknownst to anyone, a great deal of information had already been transmitted to Xu Zhaozhao's ears.

Her current abilities are still relatively low; she cannot directly share her vision with plants and trees, but she can use them to transmit messages.

For example, she now knows who cleaned up those bamboo skewers and who threw the bamboo tube directly into the fire.

An unassuming little novice monk?

Hehe, then she'll have to go and have a good chat with him.

"Excuse me, worshippers are not allowed to enter here."

Xu Zhaozhao looked up and saw that it was this little novice monk who wanted to harm her.

The young novice monk was puzzled when he saw that the worshipper opposite him neither spoke nor retreated. He looked up and realized that it was the Miss Xu whom he was trying to scheme against.

The young novice monk, being so young, looked somewhat awkward upon encountering the person in question.

Xu Zhaozhao smiled slightly and said, "Little Master, we meet again."

At some point, the young novice monk noticed a special fragrance that felt very comforting and relaxing.

"Little master, tell me, why did you want to harm me?"

The young novice monk's eyes were now lifeless and empty: "I am an orphan. I was rescued by the Sun family when I was young. Later, I was noticed by my master by chance and entered the temple as a monk. A few days ago, my lady came to our door, saying that she wanted to find a good fortune for her niece, so I changed the fortune sticks."

Rich?

Should Sun Qian accept this wealth and honor bestowed upon the Sun family?

There are many good things on the land of Huguo Temple. Everyone knows that there is a large area of ​​medicinal herbs on the back mountain of Huguo Temple, and they are all precious.

Xu Zhaozhao saw that these medicinal herbs were indeed very rare, especially the ginseng that was quite old, which made her feel that Huguo Temple had a profound cultural heritage.

She wasn't in a hurry; she would just stroll around slowly, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, to extract the life force from these medicinal herbs. Of course, she wouldn't extract it all; she had to leave some medicinal value in these herbs.

Xu Zhaozhao's plant-based superpower is quite unique. As long as she can store enough plant vitality, or plant energy, she can utilize the properties of any plant. She can kill people, and naturally, she can also save them!

She was determined to get revenge on the Sun family for their scheme.

She dismissed such nonsense as "taking a step back leads to a brighter future" with a grain of salt; she always believed in seeking revenge as soon as possible.

Xu Zhaozhao's abilities are currently limited, so she can only act indirectly.

The day she returned from Huguo Temple, Xu Zhaozhao had a pot of ordinary-looking...weed in her hand.

Peony and clove thought they hadn't misjudged it; it was just an ordinary grass.

Within two days, the Sun family was in complete chaos.

Xu Lin had only gone to visit the old lady for a short while, but when she returned home, she discovered that her personal maid had actually climbed into the master's bed!

How could Xu Lin accept this?

Xu Lin, relying on her powerful family, has always been treated with respect and deference in the Sun family. Now that her husband and maid have joined forces to humiliate her, how could she let it go?

"Sun Qingyang, how could you do this to me? I worked so hard to plan for your Sun family, and you turned around and slept with my maid. Do you even have any respect for me as your wife?"

As a noble lady from a noble family, when she throws a tantrum, no one can rival her.

Sun Qingyang, with several light red scratches on his face, looked embarrassed: "Madam, this is all my fault for drinking too much. I made a mistake, please don't be angry. We have several children now, so naturally I put you first in my heart."

Even though he was reluctant to part with the pretty maid's youthful beauty, Sun Qingyang had no choice but to bow his head in the face of real power.

Xu Lin was still furious: "Guards, drag this wretched servant out and beat her!"

The maid was now completely heartbroken; she shouldn't have seduced the master out of greed for temporary wealth.

It was now clear that she was the one who had been abandoned, and she knew that no matter how much she begged for help, it would be useless.

"Wait!"

Unexpectedly, it was the old lady of the Sun family who spoke up to stop them.

Even if Xu Lin was audacious and reckless, she still had to give her mother-in-law some face when she arrived.

Although Madam Xu knew that this daughter-in-law was not to be trifled with, she was still upset that her son had been humiliated like this by a woman.

"Mother, what brings you here! Please have a seat. Someone, quickly make some tea for the old lady."

Sun Qingyang helped the old lady to sit down before returning to his own seat.

Xu Lin glared fiercely at the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, then turned around and sat down angrily.

"You all should step aside first."

The old lady dismissed all the servants, glanced at the maid who was still kneeling on the ground trembling, and gestured to the old woman beside her to help her down as well.

“Daughter-in-law, I know this matter has saddened you, and I know that Qingyang made a mistake. But right now, we need to think things through carefully.”

"Mother?" Xu Lin could tell that the old lady was trying to protect that little slut.

That's his own maid, and he can't even do anything about her?

"Don't be so hasty. She's just a slave, how arrogant can she be? You are now the proper mistress of the Xu family. You still have that maid's indenture, right? There's no rush to deal with her now. My grandson is currently focused on his studies, so don't let this trivial matter distract him."

Sun Qingyang's eldest son is studying diligently, intending to participate in this year's provincial examination.

If one passes the exam, one will become a scholar who has not yet reached adulthood, which is something to be celebrated!

Xu Lin's mind stirred, and thinking of her diligent and promising eldest son, her resentment finally subsided by a third.

Sun Qingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Lin was always strict with him, and he didn't have much money to spare. Now that he finally had the chance to get a young and beautiful maid, how could he easily let her go?

Now that the old lady has stepped in, that girl's life can be saved.

“Mother is right, but Huaizhi is at the academy now, so he can just ask someone to tell him about household matters.”
