Xie Ziyuan's gaze shifted from Pharmacist Chen to Wu Jiang's face, and she almost laughed in anger.

She pursed her lips, her eyes turning slightly cold. "You keep saying you don't want me to feed Grandpa his medicine—do you even know that it's a high-grade antidote pill, capable of curing all poisons?"

Wu Jiang had already subtly advised her, and she smiled faintly, preparing to take Old Master Xie's pulse.

After all, no matter how firmly these people refused, Old Master Xie's health couldn't wait.

Before he could even take her pulse, Pharmacist Chen was already acting like this.

They're completely disregarding her. Do they even know she's the eldest daughter of the Xie family?

Pharmacist Chen knew, of course, "but it can't cure the old man's poison."

Not only will it not work, but forcibly suppressing it will only allow the toxins to lurk throughout the body, making it difficult to completely remove them later.

They've already suffered from one high-grade antidote pill; how could they possibly take a second one?

Xie Ziyuan was slightly speechless. "I need to suppress the poison now, then use the concoction to protect Grandpa's heart meridian, and take him back to the capital to detoxify him on the Jade Bed. You..."

She thought Chen Yaoshi was utterly stubborn and incorrigible. How could she have ever thought of him as someone with potential? He was clearly just a fool!

Pharmacist Chen remained unmoved, sticking to his old saying: "Don't bother two doctors for one thing!"

Xie Ziyuan understood; this was intentional, deliberately making things difficult for her and keeping an eye on her.

Her heart turned cold; she could immediately see that the reason Pharmacist Chen dared to do this was because Old Master Xie had instructed him to do so.

She stayed in the Xie family for fifteen years. For fifteen years, she was well-behaved, sensible, and obedient. She never clashed with Jiang Baili or competed for anyone's favor. However, in the eyes of Old Master Xie, she was still not truly treated as a member of the Xie family.

Even at this critical juncture, they treated her as an enemy and guarded against her.

Xie Ziyuan nodded, her voice still gentle, but with a hint of assertiveness beneath.

"Since Grandpa doesn't need my antidote pills and love potion, then so be it. I also hope that Pharmacist Chen can find a way to detoxify soon."

Anyway, she's not the one in imminent danger, so why is she in such a hurry?

Holding high-grade antidote pills and the "Heart-Fluttering Soup" in his hands, as well as the Cold Jade Bed of the Shen family in the capital, are treasures that many people yearn for but cannot obtain.

Her gaze swept indifferently over Old Master Xie's obviously pale and ashen face, then she stood up and left without looking back.

Grandpa Xie is almost at the end of his life, yet he remains so resilient; it seems he hasn't suffered enough yet.

Once they're really down to their last breath, I don't believe these people will still be so tough.

But when that time comes, whether she's willing to save him, or to what extent she can save him, will all depend on her mood.

"Fragrant Heart Soup?" Pharmacist Chen wasn't entirely unfazed; he asked instinctively.

This "Fragrant Heart Soup" is not something you can find just anywhere. To make it, the Sacred Heart Fruit is an essential ingredient.

Xie Ziyuan pretended not to hear and left directly.

Anyway, she revealed a little bit of the truth. With such a good medicine as Fangxin Soup, I don't believe that Pharmacist Chen could remain unmoved.

Back in the car, Aunt Wan asked respectfully, "Miss, what is the 'Heart-Fluttering Soup'? Why did Pharmacist Chen's expression change back then?"

Just then, Ding Huizhu called via video. Xie Ziyuan answered casually, partly to explain to Sister Wan and partly to show off to Ding Huizhu.

"Fangxin Decoction is a miraculous medicine for healing wounds, detoxifying and curing diseases. No matter how serious or critical the illness is, it can protect the heart and give people a chance to live."

"I also saw such a recipe in an ancient book. Unfortunately, this thing cannot be mass-produced because the main ingredient, Sacred Heart Fruit, is too rare. It is simply priceless and unavailable."
