However, after considering the family head's attitude, he corrected him: "Then you're wrong. This time it was the young lady who gave the order."

When the head of the family returned, he not only seemed to have brought back his wife, but he also had a daughter!

Those who are loyal to the head of the family are naturally overjoyed, feeling that working for the young lady is full of energy!

His colleagues left excitedly, and Shen Duo stood there for a moment, quietly pressed against the wall, listening to the discussion coming through the crack in the door.

The voices could be vaguely discerned as "an old lady in her fifties", "looked very young", and "wearing a cheongsam".

Shen Duo turned and left, just as silently as he had arrived.

——

Xie Ziyuan never expected that just yesterday she had told Xie Li firmly that Zhang Ma was not with her, but as soon as she turned around and entered the alchemy room, she saw Zhang Ma lying unconscious on the experimental table.

Her heart started pounding. Just as she was about to send her assistant away, the assistant rushed into the alchemy room first.

"gentlemen."

The assistant stood respectfully behind the middle-aged man in the room. When the man turned around, it turned out to be Shen Duo.

“Uncle.” Xie Ziyuan paused, then quickly realized what was going on. “What’s going on? You can’t leave him here!”

Xie Li has already called the police, and judging from her attitude on the phone, she will definitely not let this go.

This is a living, breathing person, not a jade slip from the Xie family; whether it exists or not is simply impossible to say.

"Can't I keep it here?" Shen Duo turned his head and said to the inner room, "Ruoxu, your daughter is quite interesting."

He used his son to get into Baicaotang and even paved the way for her behind the scenes. But when she just wanted to use her alchemy room, she actually said that it couldn't be placed there.

Although he still spoke in the same honest and old-fashioned tone as before, his expression had clearly changed. He was no longer the Shen Duo who liked to keep his head down and work, and who was so prudent and self-protective that he was somewhat mediocre.

"She's just a junior, what does she know? Don't take it to heart." Ding Ruoxu rushed out from the inner room. He was the one who had just gotten the person onto the experimental table. He hadn't done heavy work in years and was exhausted, so he simply went to wash his face.

As soon as he came out, he ordered Xie Ziyuan, "What are you standing there for? Quickly pour tea for your Uncle Shen!"

Xie Ziyuan poured the tea, but Shen Duo didn't drink it. He just held the lid of the cup and said, "I didn't originally plan to show up, but this matter is quite urgent. We can't go through the Shen family's channels, so we can only leave the person here with you for the time being."

The order from the top echelon was like a mountain; the entire Shen family was mobilized, and all channels were shut down for self-inspection. If people were left in the Shen family, they would be exposed sooner or later.

Shen Duo secretly rejoiced that he had reacted quickly. Now, in the entire Hundred Herbs Hall, only the alchemy rooms of these nominal alchemists were safe.

Moreover, coincidentally, that person also hoped that Xie Ziyuan could properly study the prescription to improve the abilities of ancient martial artists, which was a godsend opportunity.

Xie Ziyuan listened to their conversation and slowly came to her senses.

Ding Ruoxu kept telling her that the Xie family's "Xie Family Herbal Compendium" belonged to the Ding family hundreds of years ago, but that was just a lie.

What he wanted was for the Ding family to achieve a leap in social class and become a top-tier family; and coincidentally, more than 20 years ago, someone had already set their sights on the Xie family's "Xie Family Herbal Compendium".

Unfortunately, at that time, the Xie family themselves did not know the secrets of the "Xie Family Herbal Compendium". Coincidentally, a diviner also predicted that the illegitimate daughter of the Ding family was a genius in ancient medicine.

This led to Xie Li going missing and Ding Huizhu adopting Xie Ziyuan.

She had planned for so long, thinking she was bringing glory to her family and setting things right, but it turned out that it was all a lie, a scam!
