After Transmigrating, I Have To Win Over The Female Lead - Chapter 2

Following the original owner’s memories, Li Xilian found the injury medicine she usually kept stored in the cabinet.

In the original text, this bottle of medicine seemed to be called Ice-Skin Jade, and it was incredibly effective. It was made by fusing pure ice-attribute spiritual energy with Tianshan snow lotus, Yuqiu chrysanthemum, Spirit Breath Grass, and other ingredients. Only an alchemist could refine it.

Applied to a wound, it would prevent scarring and speed up recovery. It could even improve the skin!

The original owner’s family really was filthy rich. There were more than a dozen bottles of Ice-Skin Jade here alone. That was enough to prove just how high the original owner’s status was.

Without thinking too much about it, Li Xilian picked out several different medicines. She didn’t remember the details very well. The only one she remembered clearly was Ice-Skin Jade, since the name was easy to recall.

After finding the medicine, she suddenly felt a little cold.

Huh?

She was only wearing an inner robe!

With the maids’ help, she changed into a rose-red upper robe embroidered with thousand-petal chrysanthemums, paired with a red pleated Ruyi moon skirt. Her ink-black hair was arranged in a reversed coiled bun, with a freshly picked white hibiscus pinned at an angle in her hair. Fine silver-threaded bead tassels hung from it, making her look cold and elegant—not at all like someone who would bully others…

Li Xilian had read in the original text that the original owner, like herself, loved red clothes. It actually looked quite beautiful.

As she passed by a bronze mirror, she caught a glimpse of herself.

She looked exactly the same as before!

The original owner was actually…

There was no time to think. Relying on the original owner’s memories, Li Xilian ran straight toward the firewood shed.

Seeing that Li Xilian had taken her words to heart, Liu Hui left as well.

Inside the firewood shed.

Hanqiu was tied up on the ground. Beside her stood two maids, each holding a cane, ready to strike.

Hanqiu closed her eyes and waited, but the expected pain never came.

Instead, she heard a muffled groan.

Hanqiu opened her eyes and saw a graceful figure in red using her own body to block the blow. When she finally saw who it was, disbelief filled her face.

It was actually Li Xilian!

“Warning. Host’s character image has severely gone OOC. Punishment will now be issued.”

“Wait… let me explain. I just think that if someone is going to hit her, it should be me, right? According to the original owner’s personality, she wouldn’t let someone else beat the female lead before she did.”

After a while, the warning in her mind disappeared.

It seemed the system had accepted her explanation.

Although the warning was gone, the wound on her back really did burn like fire.

The maid who had rushed over afterward was stunned.

“How dare you! You even dared to hit Second Miss? Do you have a death wish?”

The maid questioned them sharply.

The two maids beside Hanqiu immediately dropped to their knees in fright.

“Second Miss! We didn’t do it on purpose! Please, spare us!”

The servants had long known how cruel Second Miss could be. The two of them trembled in fear, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

Li Xilian’s freshly changed clothes were probably ruined now. A bloody wound stretched across her back. One could only imagine how much force had been used.

Her gaze shifted to the cane, and she nearly cursed out loud.

It even had so many thorns on it! Only the part where the maid held it was smooth.

Li Xilian smiled faintly.

Her already stunning face looked even more beautiful when she smiled. Even Hanqiu stared blankly at her. It was the first time she had ever seen Li Xilian smile.

“You two can each let me strike you twice. Then we’ll call this matter settled.”

Li Xilian picked up a new cane and rolled up her sleeve, revealing a fair, slender wrist.

This should be vicious enough, right?

They hit me once, so I’ll pay them back with two strikes each.

“Thank you! Thank you, Second Miss, for sparing us!”

As soon as the two maids heard this, they immediately got ready, afraid she might change her mind.

???

The cane cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

She struck quickly, and once she was done, she ordered them to leave.

“Second Miss, the injury on your back…”

“It’s fine. Xiao Su, go out first. I want to talk to her.”

Xiao Su respectfully withdrew and closed the door behind her.

“What does Second Miss want to talk about with a servant like me?”

Hanqiu knew that her own suffering was about to begin.
