Chapter 946 Madam Mei (3)

Uncle Tang finished speaking in one breath, paused, and then sighed, "Everyone says that the master is not destined to die. Two years ago, others also said that the master would not be able to do it, but the master managed to pull through. Now it is the same. It is truly the grace of heaven, and it is also the blessing of the late queen from heaven for the master."

Shen Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xie Jingxing had been cured of the poison. Ba Jiao and the others also patted their chests, their hearts finally settling down.

Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao, thinking that Shen Miao had finally obtained this medicinal herb from that harsh and strange Taoist priest, but now it was useless. Who could blame that passerby for having nothing better to do than to uncover the notice? But then he thought again, that person had cured Xie Jingxing after all, so he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He just looked at Shen Miao with a sense of pity, thinking that Shen Miao had done so much for nothing.

Uncle Tang continued, "When the master first woke up, he asked about the lady, asking where she had been. The lady forbade me to tell anyone about this. And she hasn't been home for a while now. I was afraid something might happen, and I was also afraid that the master would be imagining things and making his injuries worse, so I kept it a secret."

Shen Miao said, "You did very well." She didn't want others to know that she had gone to see Chi Yan. Firstly, she was afraid that someone would take advantage of her. Secondly, if someone was too upset about something, it would become a clear weakness. If someone wanted to deal with Shen Miao one day, they only needed to start with Xie Jingxing. Shen Miao didn't want to expose her weakness too early.

Furthermore, Shen Miao was unsure how Xie Jingxing would view her somewhat reckless behavior. She simply wanted to wait until Xie Jingxing's injuries healed before explaining everything to him.

“I’ll go check on him first,” Shen Miao said.

"Madam," Uncle Tang stopped her and said, "The master has just taken the medicine prepared by Master Gao and is resting now. It would be inappropriate for Madam to go."

Shen Miao pondered for a moment, then looked at Uncle Tang: "Why isn't there even someone guarding the gate? It's so chaotic? It doesn't look like there are many people here. What's going on?"

Uncle Tang smiled guiltily and said, "So much has happened these days that I actually forgot to tell my wife about this. Although everyone in Longye knows that the master was saved, and that he survived a life-or-death situation and is still safe, Madam Ji and Young Master Ji are still worried and have been staying in the mansion for the past few days. I also kept their wife's whereabouts a secret, saying only that she had gone to seek medical help. The man who saved my master's life was also a favor to me, so I settled them in the mansion. Today, my master woke up, and Madam Ji and the others went to see him. The benefactor is now sitting in the mansion's hall. Madam Ji and Young Master Ji are also there, saying that they want to reward him handsomely. However, the benefactor is not one who covets power and influence. He refused the offer of gold and silver to them before."

"Then what does he want?" Luo Tan asked, "Didn't he remove the notice? If he wasn't seeking something, why did he remove the notice?"

Uncle Tang looked at Luo Tan and smiled, "This old servant was also puzzled. Madam Ji asked the benefactor, and the benefactor said that he happened to pass by that day and saw this notice. He remembered that the benefactor had a magical herb passed down from his ancestors that could cure all kinds of poisons. Thinking that this herb could save a life, he didn't think much about it and took down the notice and came to our house."

Luo Tan shrugged. "That's certainly noble, but I can't do that. I have to carefully consider the things passed down from my ancestors. Saving a complete stranger...it really takes courage."

Uncle Tang also smiled: "Indeed." Then he looked at Shen Miao and said: "Madam Ji is also troubled by this matter. This old servant is also undecided. But now that Madam is back, it is good. Madam, come and see what to give them."
