Xiao Lingyu sat upright on the couch and looked at Wu Qingshan who was sitting on the side. There were dark circles under his eyes and his face looked a little haggard. It seemed that he had not eaten or slept well in the past two days.
Who can be blamed for this? If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
The eldest prince is the emperor's biological son. Even though he rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate, he was still beaten up by his emperor father. It is unknown whether he will live or die.
Because she was engaged to the eldest prince, she was exiled with her family the day after her mourning period ended. She was also forced to marry and raise four children along the way. Isn't it unfair for her?
As Xiao Lingyu was frowning in thought, Wei Xiao's voice came from outside the carriage, "The eldest son of the Su family."
"Uncle Wei, where are you going so early?"
Su Ning'an was very surprised to see Wei Xiao and seven big men riding horses on the country road. Could it be that they had run out of food?
Wei Xiao said, "Young Master Su, let's go to Wufeng Mountain early to dig herbs."
Su Ningan was shocked: "No, we can't go. The mountain is full of ferocious beasts that eat people."
Wei Xiao said, "We are all martial artists. Even if there are ferocious beasts, they can't hurt us."
Su Ningan jumped off the carriage and stood in the middle of the road. "Even if you are martial artists, this won't work. The beast is scarier than you think. You will die if you go in."
Wei Xiao smiled and said, "Young Master Su, I know you're concerned about our safety, but we still need to go to Wufeng Mountain. My grandfather needs medicinal herbs to save his life, so we can't delay."
"You can buy herbs in the pharmacy." Su Ning'an continued to persuade earnestly: "Going into the mountains to dig herbs may not necessarily yield any, but you will definitely encounter ferocious beasts. I advise you to return the way you came."
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. With the Lu family's strength in Huayang County, why would they worry about not being able to buy life-saving herbs?
Such medicinal materials must be very rare.
Although the medicinal herbs in her base are artificially grown, they are of complete variety and are irrigated with spiritual spring water, so their medicinal effects are not bad.
Xiao Lingyu said, "Guardian Wei, what herbs do you need? I once took my eldest son to Wufeng Mountain and dug up a lot of rare herbs. Maybe there are the life-saving herbs you need."
Wu Qingshan knew that rare ingredients could be exchanged for a lot of silver. He remembered that when the last time he carried a wild boar, the eldest son of the Su family seemed to be carrying herbs.
"Yes, Uncle Wei, whatever medicinal herbs you need, maybe we have them, so you don't have to go to Wufeng Mountain."
Wei Xiao didn't hold out much hope. "My old grandfather fell seriously ill a few days ago. His condition is quite serious and he needs Centennial Ginseng to prolong his life."
Su Ningan said excitedly, "You don't have to go to Wufeng Mountain. My mother and I dug it up last time. It seems to be a hundred-year-old ginseng, right, mother?"
Xiao Lingyu was worried about not having a buyer, as the ginseng was a 300-year-old wild ginseng worth 4,000 taels.
The Lu family actually has this need. She has a deep connection with the Lu family.
"Yes, it's a century-old ginseng."
Wei Xiao's eyes lit up instantly. He had already found out the whereabouts of the century-old ginseng before even reaching Wufeng Mountain. "Madam Su, I wonder..."
Wei Xiao saw that the Su family also appeared on the country road early in the morning. It was obvious that they had important business to attend to. No matter how anxious he was, he didn't feel comfortable urging them.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't take it out directly from the space because their carriage had just left the village and the old man of the Lu family was ill and couldn't be delayed.
"Guardian, you wait here first, and we will go back to get it."
Wei Xiao thought that rare ingredients were very valuable, and Madam Su naturally didn't want anyone to know where they were. "Thank you very much, Madam Su. We will be waiting for you here again."
Wu Qingshan got off the carriage very discerningly. The hundred-year-old ginseng was very precious, and it would be inconvenient for Madam Su to take it out if he went back.
"Mother, why are you back? Aren't you going?"
Su Ningjie summoned Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen out of the room.
Xiao Lingyu said, "Boss, tell them that the place where mother is hiding is very secret and they should not come in."
"good."
"Brother, tell me what mother has hidden?"
"It's a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Uncle Chu Yu's family is waiting for help..."
Xiao Lingyu entered the room and quickly glanced at the situation outside the courtyard. He grabbed his shoulder bag from the bamboo cabinet and rushed directly into the medicinal material base.
Xiao Lingyu hadn't buried the wild ginseng very deep at the time, so he dug it out without delay, wrapped it in banana leaves and put it in his shoulder bag.
Xiao Lingyu shook off the dirt, cleaned it up and left the space.
When Xiao Xier saw Xiao Lingyu leave the room, she hurried over and grabbed Xiao Lingyu's arm. "Mother, it turns out you went to Wufeng Mountain last time. Next time, you can't sneak out with big brother while we're sleeping, or I...I will cry."
Xiao Lingyu coaxed her, "Don't cry. Mother promises not to sneak out again. Mother is leaving soon. This hundred-year-old ginseng is waiting to save her life."
Xiao Xier quickly let go of Xiao Lingyu's arm and said, "Mother, go quickly and rescue this good man."
Su Ningjie looked at the carriage going away, thinking that Uncle Chu Yu was a good uncle, and his family would surely be healthy and live long with his mother's century-old ginseng.
After Su Ning'an picked up Wu Qingshan, he thought that the lives of Uncle Chu Yu's family were at stake and could not wait any longer, so he increased the speed of the car and arrived at Xishui County at the beginning of the day.
Wu Huaiyuan had been waiting at the city gate. When he saw eight men who looked like guards riding tall horses escorting the Su family carriage coming from afar, a look of doubt flashed across his eyes. He quickly went up to them and said respectfully, "Madam Su."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Let's get on the carriage and go together."
Wu Qingshan spoke up in time: "Madam Su, saving lives is the most important thing. Huaiyuan and I will go to the government office and wait."
Xiao Lingyu nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go to the government office after I'm done."
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ning'an followed Wei Xiao to the Lu family's villa.
"Mother, Uncle Chu Yu used to live here. It's very close to Qixia Cottage."
Xiao Lingyu got off the carriage and looked around. "It's really close, just two blocks away."
Wei Xiao threw the reins to the doorman and said respectfully, "Madam Su, please come in."
"Sir." Butler Zhou Tong entered Si Chuyu's room. "The accommodations for the county managers and masters have been prepared."
Si Chuyu closed the account book and stood up. "Okay, I'm going to Luyuan Qionglou now. You should be more careful with the Second Miss. If anything goes wrong, come and scold me."
As soon as the words fell.
"Uncle, uncle." Wei Xiao's excited and joyful voice came over, "We've found the century-old ginseng."
Si Chuyu was shocked. They found it so quickly?
"Uncle Chu Yu, the century-old ginseng you asked for is here." Su Ning'an walked quickly into the room and handed over the shoulder bag in his hand. "It contains the century-old wild ginseng. Take it quickly."
Before Si Chuyu could be shocked, Xiao Lingyu walked into the study with a smile on his face. "Master Si, I know a little about medicine. Could I examine the patient first and then use the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng to prolong his life?"
Si Chuyu never expected that the second meeting with the Su mother and son would be in his study.
"Madam Su, there's no century-old ginseng in the entire Huayang County. I didn't expect you to send it here. It seems you have a deep connection with our Luyuan Qionglou."
Xiao Lingyu said, "This isn't the time to talk about this. The patient's life is more important. Take me to see him."
