Chapter 235 Xia Mo with the Face of Jade Maiden
Huangfu Qian asked Jiang Che to fetch water, while he himself followed Xia Mo into the bedroom where Yu Niangzi was sleeping.
Yu Niangzi was emaciated, lying there like a living dead, without any life, but she was indeed still alive, clinging to life.
Xia Mo sat by the bedside, reached out, and touched Yu Niangzi's forehead, using her fingertips as a medium to read the emotions of the unconscious Yu Niangzi.
Two emotions, as if they were fighting, were transmitted to each other.
Jade Maiden's emotions: Let me die, please let me die...
Another emotion within Yu Niangzi: You can't die, you still have to see what happens to that scumbag and bitch...
Xia Mo withdrew his finger, shrugged at Huangfu Qian, and shook his head.
Even though another voice was trying to hold her back, Lady Yu was determined to die.
Jiang Che carried the water into the room.
Huangfu Qian took it and naturally squatted down to place it in front of Xia Mo.
Xia Mo sat on the bed, letting Huangfu Qian lift her feet and clean the dried mud from under them.
Jiang Che: "..."
Jiang Che's brain felt like it had been turned into mush. He said, "Master, let me do it."
Jiang Che subconsciously thought: How can we let our master do the things that maids do?
Huangfu Qian's hawk-like eyes swept over Jiang Che.
Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine and stood rooted to the spot.
Xia Mo glanced at Yu Niangzi on the bed, a pleasant smile playing on her lips, as Huangfu Qian helped her clean the mud off her feet.
Huangfu Qian carefully took a towel and first cleaned off the large clumps of mud from Xia Mo's feet. Then he changed to a clean towel, filled it with water, wiped her feet, and then put Xia Mo's feet in the water to clean them.
After washing like this, the water won't get dirty, and your feet will be clean even in late summer.
As Xia Mo was being served a foot bath by Huangfu Qian, the corners of her mouth remained turned up.
Huangfu Qian took another clean towel and wiped Xia Mo's feet.
Without hesitation, Huangfu Qian took off his own shoes and gave them to Xia Mo to wear: "Make do for now. I'll have someone go to the city to prepare your clothes and shoes. This time, do you want men's clothes or women's clothes?"
Xia Mo smiled and said, "Since you're so considerate, I'll get involved a bit more. This time, I'll dress up as a woman."
Huangfu Qian got up, handed the dirty water to Jiang Che, and said, "Go buy women's clothes, and what's the shoe size..."
Jiang Che listened to Huangfu Qian's instructions and couldn't help but be distracted for a moment. What did Xia Mo mean by "I'll get involved a little more because you're so considerate"?
Jiang Che carried the dirty water and the order away.
"I won't wear your shoes, just carry me," Xia Mo said, opening her arms. She knew Huangfu Qian would agree to her request.
Huangfu Qian put his shoes back on, picked up Xia Mo, and headed towards the room arranged for her.
Huangfu Qian arranged for Xia Mo to have a room next to his own.
“Yu Niangzi doesn’t want to live anymore. It’s impossible for her to wake up and take back what was taken from her,” Xia Mo said.
Huangfu Qian, who remained expressionless, did not change his expression at all when he heard Xia Mo's words, but waited for Xia Mo to continue.
Xia Mo winked playfully at Huangfu Qian and said, "I caught one here."
Huangfu Qian immediately understood what Xia Mo meant by "catching something." His heart tightened, and he asked, "It can burrow into a person's body, you wouldn't be...?"
“Yes, I let it crawl into my body,” Xia Mo said playfully, deliberately tapping her own head lightly.
Huangfu Qian's expression finally changed. He frowned, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Xia Mo, and asked, "It's attached to you?"
Seeing Huangfu Qian's nervousness, she suddenly felt that the joke might have gone a bit too far, so she simply said, "Actually, the power inside my body is hundreds of times stronger than the energy I release. I caught it like a criminal and trapped it here."
The soul space is a space created within the soul. The main body of the soul is in the head, so her hand still refers to her own head.
Huangfu Qian remained serious, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Xia Mo.
When Xia Mo saw that Huangfu Qian was still the same, she became annoyed.
She didn't want to explain, so she rolled her eyes and changed the subject, saying, "I plan to use it to connect the thread attached to Lady Yu to myself, so that I can still take back the 'water' that was taken from me."
"Water" refers to "fortune".
Seeing Xia Mo's impatience and fearing that he might really anger her, Huangfu Qian stopped bringing up her "inappropriate" behavior.
He said, "Are you planning to go yourself?"
“Yes,” Xia Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huangfu Qian didn’t bring up the issue of her catching the intruding live streaming system.
“I’m drawing the thread from Lady Yu’s body to myself, but Lady Yu can’t die. If she dies, it’s like the thread is cut off,” Xia Mo said.
“The only way is to forcibly prolong life,” Huangfu Qian said.
“I won’t let her die, she won’t die,” Xia Mo said confidently, raising her head.
Huangfu Qian nodded and asked, "Should we expedite the delivery of the jade mine?"
“The 10,000 jin we exchanged last time, and the remaining 7,000 jin, are enough for now,” Xia Mo said, then added, “Of course, I won’t refuse if you send more.”
"I've prepared all kinds of medicinal herbs for you," Huangfu Qian said, pointing to a cabinet on the side of the room.
It's a rosewood cabinet specifically for storing medicinal herbs, and the entire cabinet is filled with rare medicinal herbs needed at the end of summer.
As summer ended, a smile crept across her face as she carefully collected everything from the cabinet and the medicinal herbs inside, taking it all into her soul space.
Huangfu Qian watched as the entire cabinet vanished into thin air, then looked at Xia Mo, lost in thought.

Jiang Che was very efficient. He bought all kinds of women's clothing that could be bought in Haozhou City and brought embroiderers with him to make them into clothes.
When Xia Mo stood before the embroiderer with the face of Yu Niangzi, Jiang Che stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Xia Mo, with the face of Jade Lady, deliberately let her eyebrows droop down, making a worried look.
Jiang Che looked at "Jade Lady", then at his master who was with "Jade Lady", his mouth opened and closed, wanting to say something, but... he didn't know what to say.
When Yu Xiuniang, who was altering clothes, saw "Jade Lady," her eyes flickered, and she could hardly believe the person she was seeing.
Wasn't it said that Lady Yu was already gone? Then... who is this woman standing in front of her?!
"Miss Yu, you've lost weight," Yu Xiuniang couldn't help but call out.
With the face of Jade Lady in her cap, Xia Mo glanced at Yu Xiuniang with a mournful look, gave a bitter smile, and did not answer.
Therefore, Yu Xiuniang was certain that the woman in front of her was Yu Niangzi!
"Miss Yu, since you're not dead, why aren't you home yet?" Yu Xiuniang's heart was pounding with nervousness, but she asked calmly.
The fake "Jade Lady" was actually Xia Mo, still looking sorrowful. She glanced at Yu Xiuniang with a resentful look but didn't say a word.
Yu Xiuniang was thinking to herself: She had to hurry back and tell Miss Fen'er that Lady Yu was still alive!
