Seeing that Lin Dan's good intentions had been trampled on like this, Xue Boyong was unexpectedly furious and immediately ordered, "Bring that maid here. I want to thoroughly interrogate her."

Lin Dan poked the herbs in the oil paper packet with a stick and sighed, "Forget it, Brother. I'm just starting to study medicine. It's inevitable that she doesn't trust my medical skills. Brother, I'm going to read. You bask in the sun in the yard for a while. Call me if you need anything." Being disdained certainly didn't feel good, but she wasn't angry. She was an indifferent, emotionless person in the first place. It already took all of her energy just to pay attention to the people that she needed to; where would she have the energy to care about outsiders?

"Okay, go ahead." Xue Boyong waved his hand. When Lin Dan left, he told the bodyguard, "Chase those two girls away. In the future, outsiders will not be allowed to enter Xiaofeng Pavilion as they please."

The bodyguard accepted the order and left. At the same time, Fangfei was complacently boasting to Biyu: "That lowly bitch only learned medicine for a few days and dared to prescribe medicine for me. I complied to her face, but buried the medicine on the back foot. She still asked me every day if I had gotten better. Did you see how stupid she looked? I practically led her in circles, heh..."

The words were barely out of her mouth when several bodyguards escorted her out of Xiaofeng Pavilion with her hands behind her back. Even Biyu was not spared. The two cried and begged for mercy the whole way out, and had no idea what they had done wrong even when they had been taken all the way to the main courtyard.

When Old Madam heard the noise, she quickly sent someone to take a look. When she heard that it was the bodyguards of Xiaofeng Pavilion, she was immediately worried that some accident happened to her eldest grandson again. Only when she learned that it was just two maids who had crossed his bottom line and gotten kicked out did she breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't bother to listen to the two maids crying for justice either. Since they offended her eldest grandson, she naturally wouldn't let them stay. She immediately found some middlemen to sell the two of them off.

From start to finish, poor Fangfei and Biyu had no idea how they fell to this point.

Xiaofeng Pavilion was restored to its previous peace. Xue Boyong sat under the warm sunlight, but his expression was very cold. After meditating for a moment, he slowly said, "Li Zhong, has anyone in the courtyard caught an illness and is in need of treatment? If so, call them over. I have orders for them."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Li Zhong started to leave, but was stopped by Xue Boyong again: "Wait, carry me back to my room first."

Li Zhong didn't question it. Whatever Master ordered, he would do.

About two quarters of an hour later, he ran back panting, shook his head and said, "Eldest Young Master, no one in our yard is sick. Everyone is as strong as an ox." The bodyguards in Xiaofeng Pavilion were Xue Boyong's personal soldiers who had followed him through foul winds and bloody rain. Their physical fitness was naturally much better than most.

Xue Boyong nodded and said, "In that case, forget about it. I want to take a nap. You can go out." As he spoke, he lay down on the soft couch by the window.

Li Zhong quickly went over to close the window, then fetched a thick quilt and laid it over him. It was early winter. Even if the sun was out, it was still very cold indoors. It didn't take long to freeze a person into a popsicle if they weren't sitting next to a fire.

Xue Boyong closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go out."

Li Zhong quietly withdrew and didn't dare to stay any longer. Eldest Young Master was used to the battlefield and was very vigilant; he would immediately wake up at the tiniest movement, as if sleeping with one eye open. If he slept in the inner room, Li Zhong would still be able to set up a cot on the floor in the outer room, but now that he was sleeping in the doorway, Li Zhong could only stand guard outside.
