Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

He approached Gao Lan Mei and bowed low, "Young miss, thank you for your help for us to advance!" His voice was loud and held deep gratitude to her. He wanted to make sure everyone in the courtyard could hear him.

Especially those protectors who felt insulted by Gao Lan Mei's rejection.

Why? She said that it's bothersome to oversee the Zicuìyù Regime, because she may have other plans.

If she could produce pills to help breakthrough effortlessly, what more could she do? The blue Oni masked protector wanted them to realize this themselves. 

And he was not wrong because after hearing what he said, the others felt envy and curiosity. Envy because if they were the ones beside her, the benefit would have fallen to them.

Curiosity as the old man near her was asking about pills.

What was the meaning of this? 

Were the pills made by a master?

Was that the reason for the quick advancement of the two protectors?

Did she have more?

What could they do to get one?

All these questions were running to the protectors head but unable to voice it out as afraid to offend and lose their possible chance of increasing the rank. At that moment, they have decided to curry favor on the Gao Young Miss instead!

Gao Chu was also curious. Her young miss had been acting differently ever since she'd woken up from the accident.

Gao Lan Mei had never been interested in cultivation. In better terms, she 'tried' to not be interested as she herself could not cultivate.

Now, the young miss studied medicine. From the Medical Pavilion to last night's incidents with the assassins, and now with the protectors.

She also forgot to add the medical study that she was doing with the old beggar who was previously mute.

Having a hard time accepting the drastic changes, Gao Chu had decided to just do what she always did before; being loyal and obedient to Gao Lan Mei.

With a smile, "Young miss, the owner of the Medical Pavilion arrived and is with your father right now…" Deciding to interrupt, she conveyed her reason to look for Gao Lan Mei.

Gao Lan Mei's eyes brightened, with a surprised smile, "Truly? They are early." The sun had just risen not long ago, "Help me." She said. Of course, Gao Chu would happily oblige.

When she heard that the Medical Pavilion's owner arrived, Gao Lan Mei just realized that she was still in her sleeping robes. It's a good thing her father did not comment much on it.

Did Gao Qi understand that being angry with her for being indecent was petty? Not really. That's why most men, protectors, and servants on the Gao Manor could only bow their heads when she was near earlier. No one wanted to have their eyes gouged out.

After changing to proper attire, Gao Lan Mei sent Gao Chu to her father to relay that she would be there shortly.

Going to the herb room, she prepared a bowl of warm water and pulled out a bloody handkerchief to soak it entirely. The water turned light red or pinkish after a short time.

While this was happening, the little brown sparrow arrived in the room. It was afraid to make any noise that would disturb Gao Lan Mei.

Aside from that reason, it was still wondering if Gao Lan Mei was serious about this, "Feng Ji," it's miss called. "Peacock flesh flower." Gao Lan Mei instructed in a very serious tone.

Feng Ji flew near its miss and choked the smelly flower. Transforming to its human form, she handed the flower to Gao Lan Mei.

There were two bowls in front of Gao Lan Mei. One was soaked with a bloody handkerchief.

The other had her wounded index finger soaked on it, blood flowed out of the wound that was immersed in the water.
