Baili Mingxiang’s entire body turned taut, but she still didn’t utter a sound. Han Yunxi was extremely light with her movements as she carefully applied medicine and gauze. Compared to her usual professionalism, there was a pronounced crease between her brows. Without a doubt, the accident had left her severely perturbed.

After binding up all the injuries, Zhao mama approached to help Baili Mingxiang change. Han Yunxi stopped her and used a pair of scissors to cut off Baili Mingxiang’s clothes instead so she could take them off without disturbing the burns. At the sight of Baili Mingxiang’s smooth back, Su Xiaoyu simply rolled her eyes and looked away.

Meddling slut! She mentally cursed. If it wasn’t for Baili Mingxiang’s interference, she would be seeing Han Yunxi’s back by now. Then she’d be able to verify whether the woman had a phoenix-shaped birthmark like the woman her master’s clan was looking for. She’d taken such a big risk, but all for naught! Despite leaving no evidence behind, the sudden explosion of the stove would definitely attract suspicion. Now it would be more difficult for her to make a move.

Su Xiaoyu grew more depressed the more she thought about it. Her gaze turned venomous as she wished she could burn Baili Mingxiang again! No, it’d be better if I’d just burn her to death outright! Compared to Su Xiaoyu’s poisonous glare, Zhao mama’s eyes were filled more with pity and compassion. Baili Mingxiang hadn’t said a word of complaint through her entire ordeal. After living for so long, this was the first time she’d met such a brave young woman.

Once things had been settled, Han Yunxi exhaled and said, “Thank you.”

“Esteemed wangfei is exaggerating. This is this servant’s duty,” Baili Mingxiang replied hastily.

Han Yunxi expected her to say as much, but she kept her gratitude in her heart. She told Zhao mama to take good care of Baili Mingxiang and prepared to leave when the woman spoke up. “Esteemed wangfei, Mingxiang has one request. I don’t know if…”

Su Xiaoyu silently broke into a cold smile. She just knew Baili Mingxiang couldn’t be so simple. Since she’s done so much, wouldn’t she seize this chance to make requests?

“Whatever you need, just say it,” Han Yunxi was puzzled. Baili Mingxiang wasn’t the type of girl to ask for favors.

“It’s just a little private affair,” Baili Mingxiang seemed a bit uncomfortable. Immediately, Han Yunxi dismissed Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu and personally shut the doors.

“If there’s anything troubling you, say it outright.”

Baili Mingxiang dropped her voice. “Esteemed wangfei, today’s events didn’t seem like an accident. I’ve used that stove multiple times, but it didn’t make sense that it exploded. It’s possible that someone tampered with it!”
