Exterior the pavilion, a chubby boy with honest pores and skin waved his plump hand and ran in direction of Su Jin. Nestling inside his mom’s embrace whereas panting for breath, he checked out his mom with glowing eyes and mentioned: “Dabao simply discovered this on the bottom. Mother taught us that if we decide up one thing beneficial, we must always return it to the unique proprietor and never declare it as our personal. Please have a look, mother.”
Having completed talking, he stretched his chubby little hand ahead, revealing the merchandise he was holding.
Su Jin smiled and hugged the kid, gently wiping away his perspiration with a handkerchief. She couldn’t assist however knead the meaty little face, having fun with the extraordinarily addictive feeling of the doughy sensation.
Fully immersed in pleasure of interacting along with her youngster, Su Jin didn’t take note of the content material of his phrases. However a notification from the System interrupted her completely satisfied second of nourishing her thoughts and physique with vitamin-D(abao).
“Beep… poisonous substance has been detected. Please watch out, host…”

However this was inside expectations. Each time Dabao’s luck was activated, he would all the time discover gadgets of nice worth. The principle downside this time was that the merchandise contained poison.
“System, analyze the hairpin and find the poison.”
“Host, there’s a secret mechanism behind the small groove in the course of the flower petals.”
Su Jin let loose a sigh of reduction upon listening to this. It was lucky that Dabao had not activated it by chance, however she couldn’t assist however fear. She held his hand and wiped it a number of occasions with a severe expression, asking the System to verify that her son had not been uncovered to the poisonous substances earlier than releasing his hand.
Though Dabao’s supernatural luck would additionally shield him from all risks, it was a pure response for a mom to be frightened about her youngster.
“Mother, did Dabao do something dangerous?” The small determine, formed like a rice ball, requested with a confused expression when he observed one thing unusual.
Su Jin crouched down and kissed, squishing his chubby cheeks which jiggled again into its unique form after Su Jin launched him.
She smiled and praised Dabao. “Our Dabao is all the time so obedient that there is no such thing as a chance of you committing one thing dangerous. Similar for at present! You even handed over the merchandise that you’ve got picked as much as mom. Dabao is my type and succesful darling, who additionally occurs to be very cute!

Along with his eyes spinning and his arms protecting his face in embarrassment, he was intoxicated with pleasure, inflicting him to really feel lightheaded from the sudden enhance in blood circulation. His physique squirmed as he whispered with a slight blush: “I… I’m not that nice…”
After talking, he buried his head in Su Jin’s embrace, feeling shy.

(What a nutjob!)
……
Hua Lian, who had simply borrowed a tattered set of garments from the previous mute granny, was mendacity immobile on a stack of hay with deadpan eyes, evidently exhausted from the antagonizing scenario simply now.
After some time, she all of a sudden burst out laughing maniacally, putting her arms on her head with an ominous environment as if she had simply give you a plan. The tip was nearing. Tonight, she would make minced meat out of everybody and feed them to the stray canines!
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes, however within the subsequent second, her face instantly stiffened and he or she started to panic.
The place did her white jade hairpin go?
How did she misplace or lose one thing of that measurement?
After a collection of consecutive setbacks, Hua Lian’s faint coronary heart had lastly reached its limits and he or she fainted on the spot.
In the meantime, underneath the steering of the system, Su Jin pried open the hidden compartment of the hairpin. It was ingeniously designed, layering 4 tiny hallowed areas in the course of the flower petal collectively, to create the right little vacuum compartment for hiding the poison.
There was little doubt that this undoubtedly belonged to the girl whom they introduced again final evening.
Oh, how thoughtful of them. Poison, was it? It appeared that their goal now was not simply her life, however the lives of her whole household.
Nice! Problem accepted!
It had been a very long time since Su Jin felt her blood boil to such an extent. An ominous aura shaped round her as she stared on the distant straw shed.
She beckoned housekeeper Xiao to accompany her on the journey to the straw shed, which was initially used to lift livestock, however now appeared completely suited to the present tenant.
Glancing on the lady huddling herself asleep within the nook, a smug smile appeared on Su Jin’s face. She casually took a step ahead, pretending to not discover, and viciously stepped on the girl’s uncovered hand, exerting all her weight and grinding it forcefully.
“Ahhh!”
A scream pierced the sky.
Su Jin pretended to not perceive the scenario, feigning to be shocked as she requested, “What’s incorrect? Oh… whoops. My foot appears to have wandered off by itself. My dangerous. I’ll be sure that to self-discipline it correctly after I return later.”
Pretending to simply discover the hand underneath her foot, Su Jin paused for a second earlier than taking a step again with a smile.
Hua Lian felt her veins pop. Her limbs trembled as she hugged her swollen hand. This was the primary time she needed to endure such humiliation, along with dropping her secret weapon. Shedding her sanity, she yelled in anger, “Sufficient is sufficient, Su Jin! Are you actually human? I want you die a depressing dying!”
Su Jin was stunned. Did she intend to finish this charade now?
Paying no heed to the girl’s livid cursing, Su Jin bent down and leaned over as if evaluating a primary lower of meat, earlier than discussing with housekeeper Xiao, “This lady appears to don’t have any worth. I heard that she even wasted a bucket of dung at present. Tsk… How about promoting her away to a brand new proprietor?”
Housekeeper Xiao frowned and severely considered it. “Given her ugly look, I extremely doubt if we may recoup the price of that bucket of dung by promoting her.”
(Ugly… Look… You imply me!??)
Hua Lian, whose delight had been trampled in every single place from the limitless verbal abuses and insults, felt a robust impulse to hurry ahead and beat the life out of the b*stard in entrance of her.
However she all of a sudden realized one thing. With out the poison in her possession, wasn’t her life on the mercy of the folks on this family? Her fight prowess was mediocre at finest, and the likelihood of her having the ability to escape from this place was abysmally low, except… As quickly as she realized this truth, Hua Lian’s clouded thoughts immediately cleared up.
“Please forgive me…” Hua Lian bowed her head, gritting her enamel as she pleaded whereas shedding crocodile tears. “I… I wasn’t pondering straight due to the sudden intense ache. Since Milady saved my life, I had vowed to repay this favor by turning into your servant. How may I renegade on my guarantees? Please don’t abandon me, Milady. I’ve nowhere to go…”
Hua Lian slowly raised her head, revealing a pitiful expression, as tears repeatedly streamed down from the sides of her eyes.
“Ugh…” The System took out its handkerchief and imitated the gesture of puking, not forgetting to wipe its mouth earlier than criticizing her act. “Is she making an attempt to get an award on the Oscars?”
Quite the opposite, Su Jin had a smile on her face. Exuding a holy and noble aura just like the incarnation of a saint, she responded in a delicate and caring tone as if she was interacting with a mentally disabled particular person. “I hear your extenuating circumstances. Don’t worry. I gained’t maintain it to coronary heart. You’ll be able to proceed to remain right here.”
Hua Lian felt a way of enjoyment as a result of one factor was lastly going her means. Certain sufficient, ladies are compassionate creatures, simply expressing sympathy simply from a easy efficiency of performing pitiful. She had deceived many noble women with this act previously.
Recalling the victims who discovered themselves in ruins or useless, their faces crammed with disbelief and resentment once they discovered that that they had been deceived, Hua Lian felt a way of satisfaction. She was sure that Su Jin would find yourself similarly.
Nonetheless, now that she had misplaced her poison, her solely choice was to contact her boss as rapidly as doable…
Whereas Hua Lian was nonetheless misplaced in her ideas, Su Jin had already walked in direction of the door. With an amiable smile, she gently gave directions to Hua Lian. “Keep in mind to retrieve two buckets of dung later. Watch out to not spill them this time, particularly since you possibly can’t afford to pay for them.”
Hua Lian clenched her fists tightly and nodded obediently.
Proper after exiting the shed, the smile on Su Jin’s face disappeared, changed with a chilly expression. She quietly instructed, “Organize somebody to carefully monitor her each transfer. If she makes any try to contact anybody exterior this family, don’t intercept it.”
Though housekeeper Xiao didn’t know what Su Jin was planning, he understood that she had all the time acted with cautious consideration. With out questioning her instructions, he promptly responded to hold out his duties.
