"You say I kidnapped your eldest Miss, but I certainly can’t admit to that. After all, you have no evidence. I think it’s better to report this to the authorities, for the sake of fairness and to prevent you, as the mistress, from abusing your power. The Shui Clan has helped you file a report, and invited someone from the Capital Mayor’s office to oversee justice. If things go smoothly, they will arrive in two hours. You’ll have to wait a while, but not only will the Capital Mayor come, the Tang Manor Master, Young Master Tang, and Shui Clan Young Master will also come. By then, right and wrong will be judged!"

Jiang Xue’s calm yet clear words made the foolish-looking Mrs. Tang’s face blush, and her neck swell with anger, clearly agitated and furious.

Jiang Xue didn’t pay her any attention and casually took out a small bag of dessert from her sleeve, leisurely tasting it in front of the Second Mrs of the Tang Family.

The dessert was taken from space, but ancient sleeves were big and could carry many things, so naturally, no one suspected anything.

Jiang Xue’s maneuver was a perfect 666, combining threats and intimidation, scaring the timid Mrs. Tang into losing her wits. But the Second Miss Tang, Tang Jingjing, had quick-moving eyes like beads in slits, whispering with her mother in front of Jiang Xue. After a cup of tea, Tang Jingjing quietly retreated, and Jiang Xue’s eyes shifted. She released a small green snake from her sleeve, which quickly followed Tang Jingjing out.

Time passed second by second, Jiang Xue grew tired of sitting, and Mrs. Tang also grew weary. Though Mrs. Tang wanted to leave, Jiang Xue had people stop her, and in the end, she returned to her room to rest. How could Jiang Xue endure this?

"I’m staying in Five Elements Manor; I’m not going to run away, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"I warn you, don’t touch me; whoever touches me will be out of luck."

In the end, Jiang Xue walked ahead while four burly men followed behind, unable to stop her, so they followed closely.

Jiang Xue ignored them and went straight to their garden, "Mu Hui hasn’t returned yet?"

Chunyu shook her head, "Are you hungry? Should I prepare something for you to eat?"

"No need, I just had some dessert, so I’m not hungry. That Tang Jingjing also went out; she seems up to no good. I sent my Xiaoqing to follow her. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go myself, but it remembers the way and will be back soon. Then I’ll have it take you to find out what the mother and daughter are up to."

The burly men exchanged looks, unsure whether to pretend they hadn’t heard, wondering if it was said on purpose for them to hear. But given the situation, they couldn’t return to report, especially since that person didn’t seem sick at all and was lying on the soft couch, having tea served by the Shui Clan Young Master’s maid. It was just... too comfortable as if she weren’t an outsider!

Unexpectedly, they waited until evening, and Jiang Xue started dozing off. It was Mu Hui who returned first, with the opening words:

"Found her. I’ve already sent protection over. Didn’t you report this? Why haven’t they arrived yet?"

Chunyu sneered, "Probably got intercepted on the way. The Young Master can’t return yet; why don’t we go rescue her first?"

"I’ll go too." Jiang Xue jumped up from the couch, and just then, her Red Viper slithered quickly into her sleeve, then crawled up to her shoulder. Chunyu watched, frowning, while Jiang Xue took a strip of meat from space and sat it on the tea table, letting it find its own food.

"You feed it raw meat directly?" Jiang Xue noticed Chunyu’s displeasure with cold-blooded creatures and nodded.

"Yes, I always reward them when they complete tasks. Xiao Hong and Xiao Qing are carefully raised by me; they will always stay small and never grow. Since Xiaoqing hasn’t returned yet, why don’t we go rescue her first?"

The men outside now knew how formidable this woman was. No wonder when she said ’don’t touch her’, their mistress hesitated, knowing this woman was skilled with poisons. Seeing her play with a venomous snake so casually and even looking at it with a doting gaze was chilling.

Mu Hui looked at Jiang Xue, wanting to say something, "She’s thirty miles away in Yang City, sold to a brothel, waiting for an auspicious day to be deflowered for a high price. Because she’s feisty, she’s been beaten badly and looks quite miserable. You should be mentally prepared."
