Reborn Rich and Pretty

  Chapter Ten: Down with Medicine

  Hu Xue ran angrily towards the village head, anyway it was daytime now, not like that night, she wasn't afraid. Panting and leaning against a big tree, she looked up at the sky. She hated that Lan Ruoxi, why could she get all of Yun Gege's care? Especially after knowing her name that day, she was crazily jealous. She didn't expect that when Yun Gege was between life and death, he was thinking of and missing only her.

  Although they were siblings, as soon as she thought of Yun's brotherly love for her that had already exceeded sibling affection, she would grit her teeth in hatred, hating to the point where she wanted to rush up and kill her. She never knew her hatred could run so deep.

  A strong fragrance wafted over, and Zhang the matchmaker, wearing a bright red floral dress, swayed her hips as she approached Hu Xue. With a sharp and sour face, she said: "Oh my, who is this? Isn't this our refined little Snow Maiden? Why isn't your beloved gentleman with you today, and instead you're standing here alone in a daze?" Zhang the matchmaker had tried many times to play matchmaker for Hu Xue, but each time this young woman had given her the cold shoulder. Not only had it damaged Zhang's reputation, but she also hadn't been able to vent her anger anywhere.

  Hu Xue glared at her discontentedly. She didn't bother to pay attention to this dead old woman. "Get out!" she shouted angrily.

  Matchmaker Zhang was fed up, thinking that she was also a figure with head and face in the village. With one hand on her waist and the other pointing at her, "You this dead girl, what kind of stinky temper would make men like you?"

  Hu Xue was taken aback, could it be that her temper was the reason why Yun Gege didn't like her? What method could make Yun Gege like herself? She looked up at Zhang Meipo's heavily made-up face, should she ask her or not?

  Hu Xue hesitated and looked at her as if she wanted to ask something. Zhang the matchmaker rolled her eyes, hummed, and was about to turn around and leave.

  As soon as Zhang saw the matchmaker about to leave, Hu Xue became anxious. She hastily grabbed her sleeve. "Auntie Zhang, wait... just a moment, I have a question and would like to ask for your advice."

  Zhang the matchmaker smiled complacently, this little girl's thoughts, how could they escape her piercing eyes? She was most skilled at observing words and expressions, and most adept at speaking to people in their own language. Today she had to vent the grievances she had accumulated over so many days from that girl.

  She smiled slyly, turned around and pretended to be angry, staring at Hu Xue, "What's wrong with you? What kind of behavior is this? Let go, don't ruin my new clothes."

  Hu Xue slowly opened her sleeves, a smile spreading across her face. "Auntie Zhang, I was wrong before, please forgive me."

  "Alright, alright," said Zhang the matchmaker with a wave of her hand, pretending to be magnanimous. "I won't bother arguing with you, young one. What is it that you want to say?"

  Hu Xue looked at her and hesitated for a moment, her face red as she stuttered: "Zhang Auntie... I... I want to ask you... how can I win a man's heart?" The words that followed were spoken so softly they were almost inaudible.

  But Zhang the matchmaker is a shrewd person, even if you can't hear her, you can guess a few points. Moreover, what's going on in the village that can escape her eyes? This girl must have feelings for the man in her family. She smiled and said with a smile, "Girl, you asked the right person, Zhang Da Aunt is not saying anything else, but she knows men too well. To be honest, men are all thinking with their lower body."

  Hu Xue's face turned red as she retorted: "Cloud brother is not like that, otherwise...". She wouldn't have stood naked in front of him and he would still be unmoved.

  Matchmaker Zhang curiously leaned forward, "What's going on?"

  Because the perfume on her was a bit too strong, Hu Xue couldn't help but let out two sneezes. Her face red, she took two steps back. "Nothing, anyway Cloud Gege isn't that kind of person you said."

  Matchmaker Zhang's face was full of discontent, she snorted and curled her lip. "Oh? I really don't believe it, an old woman like you has lived for so many years and still hasn't seen that there's no cat in the world that doesn't steal fish."

  She rummaged through her bosom for a long time and finally pulled out a small white porcelain bottle, which she handed to Hu Xue. "This is for you, girl."

  Hu Xue took over a curious look at the small porcelain bottle in her hand and asked, "Zhang Auntie, what is this?"

  The matchmaker smiled slyly, pointing at the porcelain bottle in Hu Xue's hand, and said with a mysterious expression: "This is called 'seduction'. Girl, don't look at this as just a small bottle. As long as a man gets a little bit of it on him, even the most violent man will become gentle within an hour. And this medicine only works on men, not women. You can put it in food, and it's guaranteed to work..."

  Hu Xue looked at her with suspicion all over his face, "Really?"

  Matchmaker Zhang's face turned stern, and she snatched the porcelain bottle. "Don't believe it then, leave." She really intended to turn around and leave.

  Hu Xue hastily grabbed her. "Zhang Auntie, I believe you, really, please give me that." If Cloud Brother were to take this and truly become hers, it would be great.

  Matchmaker Zhang looked at her with difficulty, hesitated for a moment, and handed it over to her reluctantly. "Forget it, I'll give it to you because we've been fellow villagers for so many years."

  Huxue's face lit up with joy as she carefully took it over and put it in her bosom. "Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Next time Xiaoxue will definitely buy something to show filial piety to you."

  "That's all, just invite me to a drink at the wedding. I'm off." Zhang matchmaker's cunning eyes hid a hint of complacency, little girl you'll have a good time tonight. She had been holding back this tone for a long time, and today she finally found an opportunity to vent her grievances.

  Hu Xue walked into the kitchen with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Seeing Ah Po busy at work, she reached into her pocket and touched the small porcelain bottle, secretly making up her mind. A bright smile then spread across her face as she approached Ah Po. "Ah Po, I'm here to help you." She took the knife from Ah Po's hand and started chopping vegetables.

  The old woman looked at her with a mixture of surprise and concern, wondering if the child was okay. She gently asked: "Xue Er, are you alright?" She was really worried that the child might do something impulsive and regrettable.

  Hu Xue put down the kitchen knife in her hand, smiled and shook her head. "Auntie, what could possibly happen to me? Don't worry! You take a good rest today, I'll handle the kitchen chores."

  The old lady hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Then I'll go get some firewood." After finishing speaking, she walked out, as long as Xue'er was fine, that's all that mattered, otherwise how could she face her deceased parents?

  As soon as Ah Po went out, Hu Xue hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle from her bosom. She carefully opened the lid, and with a "pop" sound, the lid was open. As long as she poured this in, Yun Gege would be hers, and he would never leave her again. After glancing around, she trembled as she sprinkled the white powder from the bottle into the already-cooked soup beside her, then gently stirred it with a spoon.

  She quickly put the porcelain bottle into her bosom, looking at the bowl with added ingredients, she was excited and nervous.

  Geng Xiao sat on the ridge with his eyes closed, enjoying the wind blowing on his face with a hint of chill.

  Lan Han Yun sat down beside her with a gentle smile. "Xī, what are you thinking about?" He habitually stroked her black hair.

  Geng Xiao's eyes, like water, sparkled as she turned to look at him. "Zun, do you know how his matter has been handled?" Two days ago, Zun had received an urgent transmission from the Seventh Space and had no choice but to reluctantly leave.

  Gently patted her, comforted: "Don't worry, he's so strong nothing will happen to him." Raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky. "Xī, let's go back."

  "Good!" She nodded and stood up. It's not that she was worried about him, such an arrogant person shouldn't have anything happen to him anyway. It's just that it felt a bit unusual for him to suddenly not be by her side. Although they could also communicate through the mental platform, unless it was urgent, she didn't want to take the initiative to look for him, lest he become even more smug.

  Hu Xue carefully ladled a bowl of soup for Lan Huan and handed it to him. "Brother Yun, drink it while it's hot, or the flavor will be gone."

  "Oh!" Lan Hanyun took over with a cold response, and since that incident, he had been keeping his distance from Hu Xue.

  Hu Xue felt a pang of loss in her heart, but immediately thought that as long as Lan Hanyun drank the bowl of soup, he would be hers. She suppressed the tension in her heart, her hands slightly trembling, and her eyes fixed tightly on him. Drink! Hurry up and drink! Her heart couldn't help but urge him to quickly finish the soup on the table.

  Lan Han Yun didn't mind Hu Xue's slightly urgent appearance, and still carefully served Geng Xiao You the dishes as before. "Xiao You, eat more." Seeing her eating the dishes he had served her, he smiled contentedly. He picked up the soup on the table and started drinking, completely unaware of the excitement in Hu Xue's eyes.

  Lan Huan Yun usually went to bed after taking a bath. Not long after lying down, his whole body gradually ignited with a burning heat, and he uncomfortably tore open his clothes, but still couldn't alleviate the intense heat waves on his body. It was strange why he felt so hot, as if he was about to burn up entirely - he had no choice but to go outside for some fresh air.

  He stumbled out of 'bed' and staggered towards the 'door'. As soon as he opened it, a soft body rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.

  Hu Xue's face turned red as she tightly wrapped her arms around his waist. The fragrance emanating from his body made her feel dizzy with desire. After tonight, he would be hers, and she couldn't help but smile contentedly, calling out in a coy tone. "Yun Gege! Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me help you." She kicked the door shut with her foot, her face still flushed as her hands wandered aimlessly over his body.

  Lan Hanyun didn't know what was going on, but he knew that his scorching body seemed to have been relieved a lot. He let out a comfortable sigh. "Ah!"

  Her body stiffened for a moment, and Hu Xue's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. Why did he only have that Lan Ruoxuan in his heart? Suddenly, she revealed a sly and ruthless smile, and she was about to get him soon. At that time, even if he still had Lan Ruoxuan in his heart, what could be done? He would still have to take responsibility for her anyway.

  She lifted her head, gently stroking the deep contours of Yun's face, his straight nose bridge, and dense sword-like eyebrows, exuding a strong masculine aura that left her deeply enchanted and unable to extricate herself. "Cloud brother, you are finally mine." She slowly leaned in, her lips wanting to kiss him...

  Suddenly, a pair of sparkling eyes flashed in his mind, he suppressed the desire in his body, maintaining a hint of clarity, opening his dazed and confused eyes to see clearly the person in front of him, seeing the face that was getting closer and closer. A flash of disgust crossed his eyes, he pushed her away with force, letting out an angry growl: "Shameless!" He stumbled and staggered towards the door, running outside.
