Ding Ruoxu's gaze was deep, and he felt that Granny Ming was making a fuss over nothing.

If the Xie family had noticed something amiss, they would have discovered it long ago; why wait until now?

He has now obtained what he wanted, but he lacks the key to solve the problem, and he is extremely anxious.

His face immediately darkened. "I don't care. You must find out the truth as soon as possible. If you don't have any useful information next time, then don't bother coming to see me!"

She couldn't just ignore Ding Ruoxu. Every time she came to see him, he would at least give her some money as a reward for his hard work.

Grandma Ming thought for a moment and took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket.

"This is medicine Xie Li gave me, saying it can strengthen the body."

Ding Ruoxu opened the bottle and smelled it. The medicinal fragrance wasn't very strong; it seemed to be blocked, and you had to get close to smell it.

However, this medicine seems to be only at a basic level.

What does he need basic pills for? He can make intermediate pills himself, and Xie Ziyuan can even make advanced pills.

"Since it's a gift for you, you can take it back and eat it. Why give it to me?" Ding Ruoxu was somewhat dissatisfied. This could only prove that Xie Li might also be skilled in alchemy.

But a novice alchemist is really nothing to fear.

"Didn't you say before that you suspected there was something fishy about the removal of Old Master Xie's poison? I think the fishy thing is probably Xie Li!" Granny Ming said, making a startling statement.

Ding Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he said with some displeasure, "Old man, I think you're really getting senile!"

"Listen to me!" Seeing that Ding Ruoxu was about to get angry, Granny Ming explained the suspicious points she had discovered very quickly.

"The Xie family has a maid named Zhang Ma. You should know her, right? Has Miss Ziyuan mentioned to you that Zhang Ma has changed a lot, as if she's taken some kind of magic potion, completely transformed and regaining her youth?"

Ding Ruoxu thought about it and realized it was true; Xie Ziyuan had mentioned this.

The change in Zhang Ma was so drastic that it startled Xie Ziyuan. Xie Ziyuan had also suspected Zhang Ma, even speculating that she might have eaten the Sacred Heart Fruit, as only the Sacred Heart Fruit could have such a miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and reshaping the bones and muscles...

Of course, this speculation was denied by both him and Xie Ziyuan.

Zhang Ma was just an ordinary servant in the Xie family. Who would give Zhang Ma such a precious Sacred Heart Fruit to eat for no reason?

But now that Granny Ming has brought up the old story again, Ding Ruoxu also feels that this matter is very strange. At least Zhang Ma's transformation is so complete that it cannot be explained by plastic surgery or makeup.

Ding Ruoxu narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you suspecting?"

He calmly gripped the porcelain bottle tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with sinister intent as he looked at Granny Ming.

Granny Ming was startled, but she forced herself to say, "...I...I suspect that little slut Xie Li has some kind of prescription."

Grandma Ming only knew that the Xie family possessed certain items that the Ding family was determined to obtain.

As for what it was, Ding Ruoxu naturally wouldn't reveal it to her; she was originally just an insignificant piece.

When she was young, she was involved in child trafficking. Later, she worked for the Ding family and became a servant in a wealthy household. She no longer looked down on the human trafficking business, as it was dangerous and the income was unstable.

Old Zhang was her former superior and subordinate, so she asked him to step in and take Xie Li away from Feng Meihua, and then settled Xie Li in Shenjia Village.

She has stayed in Shenjia Village for so many years just to keep an eye on Xie Li and observe him.

Of course, as it turns out, no matter how exceptionally intelligent or almost supernatural Xie Li was in his youth, he gradually became ordinary and numb under the harsh realities of life.
