"What??"

Xing Xiaomeng's eyes widened. She looked at the strange pills, then at her mother, and wondered if she had gone deaf.

I originally thought Su Luo's treatment would be incredibly expensive.

She never imagined that she would witness such a bizarre event in her lifetime, especially one that came from her own mother.

Their family is wealthy now, but surely not this rich? A strange-looking, unpalatable pill costs 150,000!

Xing Xiaomeng suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Qiao Jing. Her mother must have been deceived; it was definitely a scam, no other possibility could be ruled out.

"Mom, you've definitely been scammed. You have to call the police. If the police won't help, call our cousin. He'll definitely be able to take down the whole gang of scammers!"

Xing Xiaomeng said excitedly.

Qian Yuelan carefully closed the box, afraid that Xing Xiaomeng would be too excited and shake the pills to the ground and break them.

He carefully put the box back into the safe, and then said to Xing Xiaomeng, "What is your cousin Xing Yuan's status, and what is our status? This matter, let alone being true, will be considered false even in front of them. You finally married so well, and I finally have some face in that family. Would I be crazy to tell them this?"

The Xing family is a large clan.

Xing Yuan's father was exceptionally talented, holding a high-ranking official position that many people could not achieve in several lifetimes.

Xing Yuan is also impressive, especially considering his young age.

If there's any stain on his reputation, it's that Xing Yuan is over thirty and still unmarried.

When this story reaches them, even the truth becomes false, and they'll be scolded. Maybe every time they return to their ancestral home, it will be used as a joke.

"Mom, but this is really a scam. There's no way such a medicine could exist in this world."

Xing Xiaomeng felt exhausted. Perhaps Qiao Jing's experience had given her some insight. She was anxious, but not angry. She wouldn't argue with her mother to the point of breaking ties like Qiao Jing did.

"Nonsense, this isn't a scam. The world is vast, and there are many things that ordinary people can't access. This isn't something you can get just by having money. Mom used to befriend a wealthy lady and had to flatter her for a long time to get the method, but unfortunately, that lady's family had some trouble."

Qian Yuelan looked serious, and she sighed as she spoke.

Xing Xiaomeng frowned and pressed, "Then if something bad happened to that wealthy lady's family, wouldn't it be even less believable?"

She was helpless, so helpless that she calmed down.

"On the contrary, it's more believable that something happened to them. You might not know because you're always around Qiao Lei, but your mother-in-law must have heard about it. The children from the Zhao and Lu families were switched for twenty-eight years. The wealthy lady I'm talking about is Mrs. Lu. Her family used to be farmers. You know Lu Chen, right? The actor who became famous in the movies..."

This is a long story, but Qian Yuelan explained it to Xing Xiaomeng in detail.

Xing Xiaomeng couldn't laugh at all after hearing this. She asked incredulously, "Mom, are there really such evil spells?"

They just changed the child without warning.

Qian Yuelan nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for their fake daughter being so useless, and the fact that they killed Lu Chen for her sake, this matter would never have been discovered. They deserve to go to jail now."

Lin Xianghua deserved her punishment, but I was truly able to gain access to the Ancient Jade Sect thanks to her.

Once she got the hang of it, she naturally met more people, and she only told her daughter after confirming that it was truly useful.

"Mom, I dare not use these pills anymore. If something goes wrong, then I'm really doomed. I'm afraid of being punished."

Xing Xiaomeng shook her head. The Lu family's ending wasn't so good. After all that trouble, their beloved daughter was still a fake daughter. Apart from Gu Yuzong succeeding in switching the babies, the Lu couple didn't get what they wanted.

"Are you stupid? Would your mother harm you? We're not swapping babies with other people's children. This is our own child. Can't you see who you're sleeping with?"

Qian Yuelan glared at Xing Xiaomeng with annoyance.

“They were harming others, so it’s normal for them to get their comeuppance. We’re not harming anyone. Qiao Lei is your husband, so it’s only natural for you to sleep together. This medicine only guarantees that you can become a mother after one use. It’s not like it will make you pregnant out of nowhere. If it made you pregnant out of nowhere, I wouldn’t buy a mother for even 150,000 yuan, let alone 150,000.”

Qian Yuelan spoke with great logic and reason; she was not the kind of person who couldn't understand things.

Xing Xiaomeng had nothing to say after hearing this, because she felt that what her mother said made a lot of sense.

"What if you can't get pregnant the first time? Then you'll still have been scammed out of your money!"

Xing Xiaomeng was no longer so resistant to the pills, but her suspicions remained.

"You underestimate your mother again. The Ancient Jade Sect is not unknown or without a path. It has countless branches all over the country. The main branch is in J City. The temple there is magnificent and spectacular. The statues of the deceased Ancient Jade Sect leaders enshrined inside are truly gilded. If the medicine doesn't work, I'll get this money back in no time."

Qian Yuelan never even considered this possibility, because if it didn't work, her Qian Guyuzong wouldn't be able to take it away.

“But I’m still worried. Qiao Lei’s health prevents him from having sex, and he’s currently undergoing treatment. If it triggers an illness, the Qiao family won’t let me off the hook.”

Xing Xiao thought about it for a moment but still shook her head. Qiao Jing's example was too frightening, and she dared not do anything reckless.

"Isn't Su Luo treating Qiao Lei's illness? Just use him to make some small cake for her to eat."

Qian Yuelan frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Since this medicine isn't harmful, she's not really harming anyone.

“That won’t do. Su Luo only gives Qiao Lei medicine bottles and does acupuncture and medicated baths; she doesn’t do anything else.”

Xing Xiaomeng immediately rejected the idea. Su Luo didn't even respect the Qiao family, so what was she to her?

To be honest, she envied Su Luo; only someone with such ability could make the Qiao family treat her so politely.

"Then let's do as Mom just said, and put it in Qiao Lei's mouth while he's asleep."

Qian Yuelan thought about it and felt that this was the safest approach.

This matter is rotten to the core, and no one will ever know about it.

"Qiao Lei's condition might improve in another two months. We'll see then. He's not in good health right now, and IVF requires screening. If he takes this medicine, he won't need to do IVF. Who knows if it's good or not? His treatment will take several years, so I'm not in a hurry."

After Xing Xiaomeng finished speaking, she coughed to cover up her embarrassment.

Qian Yuelan thought about it and agreed, "That's fine too. Anyway, it won't happen that quickly. It's better to wait until his health improves. If we're going to have a baby, we should definitely have a healthy one."

If they gave birth to an unhealthy child, the Qiao family might not take it seriously.

Xing Xiaomeng smiled when she saw that Qian Yuelan said the same thing. No matter what her mother did, it was all for her own good.

"Mom, does this medicine really cost 150,000? Didn't you try to negotiate the price?"

But thinking about how the pill cost 150,000 yuan, Xing Xiaomeng felt a pang of heartache. It wasn't gold or silver; it didn't seem worth 150,000 yuan at all.
