"What? Scamming people!" Xu's face suddenly changed when she heard this. "I know the other ones too. I met them at Huichuntang. They all happen to come from families that are in business and have quite a bit of money..."

"Like Aunt Xu, they were also the victims of Huichuntang's scam." Xiao Shuangbao said with sympathy.

"Then, what should I do next? Even if they say the medicine is fake, we've been taking it for so long, and we paid for it! What if Huichuntang denies it? The Zhao family is behind Huichuntang, and if they really want to investigate, we can't afford to offend them!"

Xu said this with a look of hesitation on her face. "If we confront the Zhao family, I'm afraid it will affect our other businesses. How about we just consider this as a loss to avoid disaster?"

However, Little Frost Treasure shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."

"May I ask, little saint, what do you mean by this?" Madam Xu asked immediately.

"Huichuntang chose you guys as its scapegoats, partly because you all come from wealthy families, and partly because you are all healthy and free of illness and pain."

Xiao Shuangbao went on, "They're raising you like pigs, planning to slaughter you once you're fat. The medicine they give you then won't be ordinary tranquilizers, but rather a sinister draught that will drain your vital energy. This draught is made from poisonous insects. Once you take it, you'll become addicted until your vital energy is completely drained, and your body will eventually fail and die. Then, they'll take the poisonous insects and use them to refine a mind-regulating pill. The Zhao family's patriarch will then consume this pill to prolong his lifespan, hoping for immortality."

"What? It's really like that!" Upon hearing this, Xu gritted her teeth.

If he had only cheated her out of tens of thousands of taels of silver, she would be willing to keep the matter quiet for the sake of the entire family and not pursue anything.

But if the Zhao family is planning to steal her money and kill her, then even if she is made of clay, she can't tolerate it any longer!

"Little Saint, can you tell me what I should do next?" Xu asked Xiao Shuangbao, looking as if she was ready to fight the Zhao family to the death.

"Let me think..."

Xiao Shuangbao scratched her head, and soon her eyes lit up, "Dealing with the Zhao family is indeed difficult for you guys. We have to rely on other families. Aunt Xu, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

"Here is a yellow talisman. When you return, burn it with fire, throw it into water, and drink the talisman water. It will protect your body from evil spirits for a period of time. As for Huichuntang, you can continue to go there and take whatever they give you. However, you must pretend that your family's business is in trouble and you can't afford such expensive medicine, so you plan to stop coming to Huichuntang.

"Huichuntang has raised you for so long, and now we're planning to kill you!

"If you say that, they'll definitely give you that evil medicine. Just take it! With this talismanic water protecting you, not only will you be fine, but only the impurities in your body will be drawn away. After a while, you can feign illness and disappear from view. Then, have your family pretend you're dead. Remember to notify me in advance when that happens! I'll be there to watch over you!"

Xu listened carefully.

She couldn't help but ask, "But what if someone from Huichuntang comes to get the Gu worm? What should I do?"

Xiao Shuangbao smiled and said, "Just let them take it! With me here, they won't see through your disguise! As for the poisonous insect, it absorbs the impurities in your body, which is good for you. But if someone from the Zhao family takes it to make a mind-refreshing pill and consumes it, it won't prolong your life, it will only shorten it!"

Xu's eyes immediately lit up.

"I knew it! I found the right person after all! By the way, Little Saint, can you give me a few more of these talisman papers? I'll give them to my fellow patients..." Mrs. Xu said, and took out another piece of gold, "This will be used as money to buy the talisman papers!"

"Okay." Xiao Shuangbao didn't refuse when he saw the gold. He quickly took out a few more talismans and gave them to Xu, saying, "You won't be able to get your money back anytime soon after Huichuntang cheated you out of your money. But don't worry, one day the Zhao family will get their comeuppance for their evil deeds and fall. Then you will definitely get your money back! Also, remember to keep this matter a secret! Don't let anyone know!"

"Don't worry, little saint. My fellow patients and I are good sisters who stand together in times of adversity. We will never leak the news in advance!" Xu promised.

Then she took the talisman paper and left happily.

Ye Yuan'er stared at the two gold ingots on the table with her eyes wide open.

It turns out that it is so easy for my little princess to make money!

Just move your little finger, say a few words, and get two gold ingots!
