However, as soon as she arrived at the Shen family’s house, she bumped into Mrs. Shen, who was in a hurry. She wanted to come back another day, but Mrs. Shen waved her hand and asked her to get into the carriage.
“This morning, Old Madam Li suddenly fainted and hasn’t woken up yet.
Doctor Gongsun is already there. I just packed some herbs from home and am preparing to send them over.”
No matter what their relationship was in reality, she was still the Old Madam’s daughter in name. She could not let others talk about her filial piety.
Otherwise, even if she did not care about herself, she had to consider the impact on her husband.
However, after closing the carriage curtain, she did not have to pretend to be worried. “Girl, you must have something to tell me. Come, tell me so that we won’t be bored on the way. When we reach the Li Family later, 1’11 get the carriage to send you back. Just treat it as coming out with me for a walk.” Xiaoxiao finished speaking in a few words and said, “I know that the Li Family has rules. You can’t interfere in your maternal family’s matters. If it’s
inconvenient, I’ll find another way.”
Mrs. Shen frowned. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to help, but…
Mrs. Shen held her hand. “It’s just a question. It’s not considered interfering.
My husband told me about your background. Even if you didn’t ask, I planned to volunteer to help, but…”
“However, I can’t asknow even if I want to. If I remember correctly, that shop is selling medicinal herbs now. Old Madam is in charge of it.
Old Madam Li cherished her life and thought that precious herbs were the life-saving charm under the premise that she was rich in gold, silver, and treasures. Hence, no one was allowed to interfere with anything in that shop.
She kept it firmly in her hands. Not to mention Mrs. Shen, even her biological grandson, Li Muyan, was not allowed to interfere.
Hence, the herb shop was considered her private property. After she fainted, no one was able to ask about the shop.
Xiaoxiao was also very melancholic. From Mrs. Shen’s tone, it was probably very difficult for Old Madam Li to survive. Doctor Gongsun had already said that if that old lady did not cooperate with the treatment, it was very likely that she would never wake up again after fainting one day.
With this sense of melancholy, when the carriage arrived at the Li Family, Xiaoxiao alighted on her own, planning to walk back to relax. However, she was stopped by Li Muyan, who was greeting her at the door. “Miss Ning, please wait.”
Xiaoxiao stopped and turned around. In her confusion, she saw Li Muyan take three steps forward and bow in front of her. “Grandmother is seriously ill. Please forgive me for being rude. I heard from Doctor Gongsun that Miss Ning once found rare medicinal herbs in the mountain. Do you still remember the place where you found the hundred-year-old ginseng and lingzhi?”
It turned out that the old lady needed life-saving herbs after she fainted. However, he couldn’t find them even after searching the shop. Li Muyan was so anxious that he couldn’t care less about his grandmother’s orders. He smashed the old lady’s private vault and couldn’t find them. Only then did he listen to the old lady’s personal nanny. “The old lady hid all the hundred-year-old herbs. Other than her, no one knows where they are.”
This was awkward. The old lady was afraid that the life-saving medicine would be secretly taken away, but she hid them too well and they could not save her life now.
Li Muyan was anxious. He first asked Gongsun Zhongjing to stabilize Old Madam’s condition at all costs before asking for help everywhere.
As the head of the Li Family, he often lived in the Imperial Capital and had a wider network there. If he was there, he could even borrow 200-year-old ginseng from the noble families he knew, let alone 100-year-old ginseng.
However, this was a county. Where could he find it in a short time?
Old Madam was suspicious and domineering by nature, but she had watched him grow up. She was Li Muyan’s biological grandmother. He couldn’t watch his grandmother die from illness, so he didn’t want to miss any possible hope. Xiaoxiao said, “We definitely can’t find the place. After all, the mountains are so big and we can’t distinguish the direction.”
Although Li Muyan was disappointed, he was mentally prepared when he asked Xiaoxiao. Unexpectedly, he heard Xiaoxiao say, “But I still have one more ginseng. Do you want me to go home and get it?
Actually, it was not impossible to take it out immediately, but who would run around with this thing in their arms for no reason?
What did it mean by there was a silver lining in the dark!
However, Li Muyan hesitated again. The fastest way to go back and forth was obviously to ride a horse, but Xiaoxiao did not know how to ride a horse. He was a man. If he rode with her in broad daylight…
He gritted his teeth and held the horse rope as he said to Xiaoxiao, “Miss Ning, after today, I will definitely…”
Before she could finish, Mrs. Shen went forward and took the horse’s reins.
“Girl, get on the horse. I’ll take you back”
Li Muyan heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands at Mrs. Shen. “Thank you, Aunt.”
Mrs. Shen asked the maidservant to help tie her sleeves. She waved her hand when she heard that. “There’s no need for verbal thanks. Remember that you owe me and Xiaoxiao a favor.” She could ask about the jade pendant later.
It was impossible to tell that Mrs. Shen’s horsemanship was actually quite impressive when she looked delicate and noble. She galloped wildly with Xiaoxiao, and the horse ran quickly and steadily. Other than her butt being a little numb, everything else was fine when she got off the horse.
With a dying old woman waiting for them to save her, Xiaoxiao didn’t delay anything. She went into the backyard where they planted a large pile of flowers and plants and rummaged through them. With her back facing Mrs. Shen, she exchanged for a hundred-year-old ginseng from the space.
[Ding! The hundred-year-old ginseng has been successfully exchanged. Current total points are 9,560.]
Mrs. Shen, who had tied up the horse, was amazed. “No wonder you said that no one would be able to find it if you didn’t come. But what are you thinking? You actually dug up the ginseng and buried it in the ground. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll plant this noble thing to death?”
Xiaoxiao changed the topic as she walked. “Isn’t it alive? Besides, it was dug in the mountains anyway. It didn’t cost anything.”
When the two of them returned to the Li Family, Gongsun Zhongjing was pricking the old lady’s head with silver needles.
Through the door, Xiaoxiao heard this young master, who didn’t like to talk much, say angrily, “You’re letting her not drink the medicine just because she said so?”
Li Muyan was helpless and anxious. “I know it’s my fault. If this happens again, I’ll squeeze Grandmother’s nose and pour it in even if she scolds me!”
Gongsun Zhongjing snorted coldly. “There’s a next time? After this, find someone else. I can’t treat such an uncooperative patient.”
In a moment of desperation, Li Muyan said without thinking, “Don’t forget that you agreed to go down the mountain because you lost to me. Could it be that the successor of the Genius Doctor Valley is actually a person who goes back on his word? Aren’t you afraid that the reputation of the Genius Doctor Valley will be ruined in your hands?”
Gongsun Zhongjing’s tone became even colder. “Are you threatening me?
Seeing that the atmosphere had frozen and the servants did not dare to knock, Xiaoxiao could only do it herself.
The door wasn’t closed tightly. She pushed it open. Li Muyan and Gongsun Zhongjing stood in front of the bed, confronting each other. Most importantly, neither of them had any intention of coming over to take their things.
Helpless, Xiaoxiao could only go forward herself. “Here, ginseng..
