How did Yan Xiao know? Of course, he found out from the plot of the novel!

However, she wouldn't say this, leaving Jiang Xinrui to struggle with it on her own.

Jiang Xinrui's reaction indirectly proved to everyone that Yan Xiao hadn't been lying; she did indeed have medicine to save Granny Li.

However, since she offered to treat others and had the medicine to cure Granny Li, why didn't she use it? Instead, she pointed the finger at Yan Xiao, who clearly had a grudge against Granny Li and her daughter. This behavior is rather intriguing.

The onlookers, who had been somewhat confused by the show, were now fully alert, feeling that they had never been clearer-headed.

The words Yan Xiao had said about Jiang Xinrui were now unconsciously echoing in their minds. Considering the current situation, this Doctor Jiang's intentions were far too deep; she was clearly targeting Yan Xiao.

There's no need to find a reason; it's naturally a woman's jealousy. Just like Yanxiao said, this person has been guarding General Shen for two years without any official status, and she doesn't want to be a concubine, so naturally she wants Yanxiao's position.

As a result, Yanxiao found General Shen alive and well, which dashed her hopes. Feeling unbalanced and unwilling, she had to do something to make up for it.

Jiang Xinrui knew she had done something wrong when she said those words, but since she had already said them, it was impossible to take them back.

The onlookers weren't as polite to her as they had to Yanxiao. They started pointing and whispering about her, and some of the women in the crowd looked at her with disdain and contempt.

She always maintained a good reputation, and everyone who saw her had to greet her with a smile.

This was the first time she had received such treatment, and it was both overwhelming and unsettling for her.

Qiao Jiaojiao wasn't stupid either; seeing the situation was turning sour, she quickly stepped forward to explain for Jiang Xinrui:

“If Madam is unwilling to prescribe ginseng, there’s no need to make such a fuss about Doctor Jiang. Doctor Jiang’s refusal to prescribe the medicine you mentioned is naturally because it doesn’t match my mother’s symptoms.”

"Really? Then it seems that the reputation of Medicine King Valley is quite undeserved."

This medicine is a miraculous medicine left behind by an old master before his death. It is a rare and irreplaceable treasure. So why can't it compare to the medicinal effects of a hundred-year-old ginseng?

They even claimed it could cure all poisons and diseases? Are you kidding me?

Yan Xiao looked at Jiang Xinrui with a normal tone, without any hostility or aggressiveness, but the question she asked left Jiang Xinrui speechless.

No matter what Jiang Xinrui said at this point, it would be wrong, leaving her in a dilemma.

After speaking, Yan Xiao didn't press the matter further. Instead, he nodded understandingly and continued in a sarcastic tone:

“Miss Jiang, there’s no need to make things difficult for you. Just say you can’t bear to part with that miraculous medicine and no one will blame you. After all, it’s understandable.”

This kind of life-saving stuff isn't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can use.

Miss Jiang certainly doesn't want to do this unprofitable business either; that's only human nature, and I understand. So, Miss Jiang should be able to understand me, right?

Jiang Xinrui opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words in her defense, but the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She never expected Yan Xiao to know that she had the drug, and in her surprise, she accidentally admitted it.

It's impossible to deny it now, and it's even more impossible to admit that the medicine is inferior to a century-old ginseng.

If she did that, it would completely ruin the reputation of Medicine King Valley and disgrace her master's honor. She dared not and could not do that, because it would indirectly ruin herself as well.

Just by looking at the way the onlookers were looking at her, you could tell that she had fallen into a situation where she was neither accepted by anyone. Since things had come to this, there was no need for her to beat around the bush anymore; she could only try her best to say things that were in her favor.

She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and replied in a low voice:

"I do have the miraculous medicine, but I only have one left. My master told me before he passed away that I must never use this medicine unless it is a matter of life and death."

"The ginseng that Madam possesses is far less valuable than the miraculous medicine I have. Moreover, Granny Li's current health condition is directly related to Madam; it is only right and proper that Madam helps her."

Seeing that Jiang Xinrui regained her composure so quickly and even refuted her with reason and evidence using a strategy of retreat, Yan Xiao couldn't help but admire the heroine's extraordinary temperament.

But that's how it is. If we don't strip her of her hypocritical facade today, she's not Yan.

She calculated the time, glanced in one direction, and saw Steward Zhang carrying some ledger-like items, wiping his sweat as he hurriedly ran towards her, followed by several servants carrying other items.

After such a long delay, this person has finally arrived. How the show should proceed from here on out is entirely up to her.

Yan Xiao glanced at her briefly before turning her gaze back to Qiao Jiaojiao, her attitude changing to a beaming smile as she said:

"After thinking about it carefully, I realized that what Dr. Yan said makes a lot of sense. Since your mother's illness is related to me, then I will treat your mother."

Yan Xiao's sudden 360-degree change in attitude completely baffled everyone present.

Qiao Jiaojiao was even more dumbfounded, looking at Yan Xiao with a suspicious gaze:

"Are you... are you serious?"

"nature!"

Yan Xiao nodded seriously, looking very confident.

"Your mother's ailment is no big deal with me. She doesn't need any magic pills or medicine. I guarantee she'll be bouncing around again in no time."

Qiao Jiaojiao and Jiang Xinrui both knew what kind of person Li Mama was, and when they heard Yan Xiao's words, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Qiao Jiaojiao was about to reply and ask Yan Xiao to treat her, eager to see Yan Xiao get slapped in the face.

Before she could even open her mouth, Steward Zhang appeared out of nowhere, panting as he ran up to Yan Xiao, followed by several servants carrying what looked like luggage.

She was wondering why the things the servants were carrying looked somewhat familiar when she saw Steward Zhang respectfully say to Yan Xiao:

“Madam, I have completed the tasks you instructed. The courtyard and several acres of fertile land that the General bought for Granny Li and her daughter have now been returned to your name. I have also had all their belongings packed and brought to you.”

"Well done, just a little slow."

Yan Xiao glanced at the people behind Butler Zhang as she spoke, and said with dissatisfaction:

"What are you standing there for? Give their things back. I can't even afford to entertain these vampires, aren't you afraid they'll try to take advantage of you?"

Upon hearing this, those people readily threw all the items at the feet of Granny Li and her daughter. Before Qiao Jiaojiao could even understand what was happening, one of them kindly explained to them:

"These are all your luggage. Please check them in front of us. Don't blame us for hiding them later."

Upon hearing this, and recalling what Butler Zhang had just said, Qiao Jiaojiao seemed to realize something, but she couldn't quite believe that Yan Xiao was really that daring.

Her lips moved, as if she were about to say something, when Li Mama, who was lying beside her, suddenly sat up, then glared at Yan Xiao with a ferocious expression, gritting her teeth and saying:

"How cruel you are! You want our mother and me to sleep on the streets! How dare you? The general will never allow it!"
