Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "It's just a token of my mother's affection. Besides, it's not all for you. There are quite a few things in there that belong to Gousheng and Daya. Don't even think about keeping it all for yourself."
She thought Wang Xiaohei would definitely agree to go to the capital with them, but she didn't expect him to refuse so thoroughly.
If they hadn't dragged me out shopping today, I probably would have packed up and gone back to Qing Shi Village early this morning.
Wang Xiaohei just smiled and assured her, "Don't worry, Sister Mian, I will definitely deliver the goods and I will never keep them for myself."
Jiang Yimian nodded, feigning relief, but still asked seriously, "You really aren't coming to the capital with us?"
Wang Xiaohei waved his hand, "No, I still prefer Qingshi Village. Besides, Dashu and Erhei aren't here, so it's no fun for me to stay here alone."
It's better to help out at the shop. Sister Mian, you don't know, business at the shop has been booming lately.
The workshop was fine too; nobody caused trouble, and everyone could focus on making money.
Although Sister Yimian doesn't know when she will return to Qingshi Village, they will definitely do everything Sister Yimian taught them.
I will definitely not let Sister Mian down.
Jiang Yimian nodded, quite reassured about the village.
The Chen and Liu families, as well as the Zhao brothers, are all reliable people. She knows that even if they are not around, the two families will take care of everything and will not make her worry.
The group returned laden with their loot, and by the time they reached the village, it was already completely dark.
I'm quite tired after a day of shopping.
Jiang Yimian finished washing up and was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door.
“Miss, it’s me.” Liu’er’s voice rang out from outside the door, tinged with hesitation.
Jiang Yimian opened the door, glanced at the person in front of her with a puzzled look, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Because of Liu'er's presence in the manor, and because most of the residents are honest people trying to make a living and don't know any tricks or schemes, things have been peaceful and uneventful these past few days.
Everyone was doing their job and focused on their tasks.
She still trusted Liu'er quite a bit.
Liu'er glanced at Jiang Yimian, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Jiang Yimian simply said, "Come in and let's talk."
The two sat down at the table, and Jiang Yimian poured her a cup of tea before smiling and saying, "This is the first time you've come to see me at night in so long. Don't you need to continue making the medicine?"
Normally, Liu'er would have retreated to her own courtyard by this time. She would only come out during the day to attend to matters at the manor.
Liu'er was taken aback, and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly before saying, "So you knew all along, Miss."
She thought she had done it very discreetly.
She buried all the dregs of the medicine in the garden. Since she was the only one in the small courtyard and no one went by, she thought that no one knew what she was doing.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "You forgot, I also know medicine."
Liu'er always had a faint medicinal smell on her. Ordinary people might not be able to smell it, but as a doctor, she could naturally smell it.
Liu'er was taken aback, then just smiled; she had really forgotten.
However, she didn't come here today to talk about this matter.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Miss is going to the capital. May I go with you? Don't worry, Wang Jinbao and his sister are in the manor. They are doing a great job and managing the people in the manor well."
Jiang Yimian paused, glanced at Liu'er again, and asked curiously, "The reason you stayed by my side was because you wanted to keep making medicine at the manor, right? Why do you suddenly want to go to the capital with me?"
She was very satisfied with Liu'er's abilities, and she happened to be short of people around her.
Xiao Qi and Song Xiao Wu have already returned to Mo Ge, and she only has Song Er by her side.
After all, she was Lu Cijian's person, and she didn't want him to do everything for her, as that would make her seem too impolite.
In addition, there are some things that are indeed not suitable for Song Er to help with.
She was very happy if Liu'er was by her side. A person who knew martial arts and poison could help her a lot.
However, she was still very curious as to why Liu'er had changed her mind.
Liu'er remained silent for a while before saying, "I can't cure the poison in my body, and I would like to ask you for help, young lady."
If she stays at the villa, she will have too few opportunities to meet Jiang Yimian, and it would be troublesome to ask him to help her detoxify.
The toxins in her body were getting worse; if she didn't get detoxified in time, she probably wouldn't have much time left to live.
There was an even more important reason: her poisonous Gu had disappeared.
Those were the Gu worms she had fed with her own poison for a long time. They had always been in her room, but this time they suddenly disappeared, and she really couldn't figure out where she had thrown them away.
She suspected that Old Chen had taken it for her. That guy had always been interested in all kinds of poisons, so it was highly likely that he had secretly taken it from her when she wasn't paying attention.
Unfortunately, she didn't have much evidence and couldn't speak up directly, so she could only search for it herself.
If she hadn't followed Jiang Yimian, she would have had no chance to find the poisonous Gu.
She had put in a lot of effort to raise that child; how could she give it up so easily?
Upon entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, each disciple receives their own Gu worm, which they dedicate their entire lives to nurturing into a highly poisonous creature.
The disappearing Gu worm was the one that had always been by her side.
Jiang Yimian stared at her, noticing that the other woman was hiding something, but she didn't expose her. She simply said, "Sure, I happen to need someone around me, so it's actually more convenient for you to be here."
After spending time together, she had figured out Liu'er's personality. Basically, she didn't care much about anything except her own affairs.
She is a loner, but she will carry out her arrangements meticulously, like a robot that will perfectly complete its tasks once programmed.
