Seeing the dirt around the poisonous herb dug up, she lifted the jade knife, carefully gathering the roots bit by bit, as if it wasn't merely a plant but a priceless jade ware. Through such delicate operations, she did not harm a single root. Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief and pulled the entire poisonous plant out of the ground with ease.
The man beside her also breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Can we go now?"
She nodded, then suddenly asked, "What are you doing here anyway?"
The man was stunned for a moment before replying, "I was just curious... Third Lady, please don't take it to heart."
"Mm-hmm," she responded while standing up, "I won't take it to heart." As she walked past him, the man couldn't help but step back, only to see her suddenly toss the poisonous herb in her hand at his face.
