Xie Shiyou said, "This was specially obtained by Miss Ziyuan through someone. There was only one. She originally wanted to give it to you as a token of her respect, but..."

Ding Huizhu felt a warmth in her heart: "Ziyuan is such a thoughtful child."

It was already difficult for her to be alone away from home; she had only exiled herself because Xie Li had returned to the Xie family, yet she still sent such precious medicine as soon as she heard that Xie Li was injured.

It should be noted that traditional medicine is declining, and the Pharmacist Association has not produced a single senior pharmacist in many years, with very few intermediate pharmacists.

Over the years, only Old Master Xie has barely reached the middle to lower level. The few junior pharmacists produced by the Xie family are enough to make them influential in Linjiang City.

Intermediate pills, which only intermediate-level alchemists can refine, are extremely rare and precious!

Ding Huizhu really wanted to try the pill's effects, after all, she was getting old and her skin had many hidden blemishes, but...

"Since Ziyuan is for Xie Li, then Sister Wan, you can take it over there."

Aunt Wan responded, took the medicine box, and left.

Xie Shiyou hesitated for a moment, then added, "By the way, Miss Xie Li is also taking medicine; she said she got it from home..."

Seeing his stammering, Ding Huizhu instantly realized what he meant by "taking it from home."

Xie Li's adoptive father is a fake medicine seller!

She pressed her temples, feeling a tightness in her chest again, and for a moment forgot to question Xie Shiyou about how he had mistreated Xie Li.

——

Xie Li was in her room. Aunt Wan brought her medicine, and she was very grateful.

Holding such valuable medicine, Aunt Wan practically looked down on everyone: "This is a mid-grade muscle-regenerating pill, an extremely rare and precious item!"

"Your wife and eldest daughter both remember you; this is your good fortune." As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Li with a subtle look in her eyes.

To be honest, she felt it was too wasteful and not worth it to give such good food to Xie Li.

Unfortunately, they didn't dare to detain it. They held onto it tightly, reluctant to let go.

Xie Li was confused by her actions. "Ah, thank you, but can you let go now?"

Aunt Wan was stunned for a moment, then angrily let go of her hand.

Xie Li opened the medicine box and then realized something was wrong.

Aunt Wan said this was a mid-grade muscle-regenerating pill, but the quality of this medicine could barely be considered a primary-grade superior one, and it was of poor quality and contained many impurities.

It's nowhere near as good as what she eats herself.

However, she was still very grateful that Madam Xie had sent medicine to her. "Thank you," she said.

Sister Wan waited and waited, but did not receive a thousand thanks from her.

She couldn't help but scoff inwardly. How could a country bumpkin like her understand the importance of intermediate-level pills? Even Miss Ziyuan only had one, yet she was willing to give it to her.

"Miss Xie Li! Madam and Miss Xie have given you such valuable medicine. Shouldn't you at least go and thank Madam in person?"

How can you be so insensible?

Xie Li nodded. She was initially embarrassed to take it, but after seeing the medicine, she felt it was appropriate to reciprocate by giving a bottle of medicine to Madam Xie.

So he took a white porcelain bottle and said, "I'll go thank you, Madam."

He didn't offer any further response to Sister Wan, which infuriated her, and she turned and left.

Xie Li hurriedly followed, step by step.

——

"Madam, Miss Xie Li has come specifically to thank you for sending her the Intermediate Muscle Regeneration Pill."

Wan Sao caught a glimpse of Jiang Baili in the corridor out of the corner of her eye, and her voice involuntarily rose several octaves.

Jiang Baili, who had been indifferent, paused slightly upon hearing this, then frowned and walked over.

"I heard that my aunt gave my cousin a mid-level muscle-regenerating pill?"

It's no wonder she has such sharp ears; the words "muscle-regenerating pill" and "intermediate level" are just too tempting.
