Chapter 554 Sharing the Joy
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "What are you saying? The pills are already in my hands, how could I return them? Isn't that looking down on me?"
The old butler was completely stunned when he heard this.
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
By all accounts, the young master is no more than twenty years old. How can he be so shameless and so self-righteous?
If it weren't for the jade pendant her master had given her, the old steward would have loved to smear those pills all over her face.
Jiang Nuanzhi pretended not to notice his displeasure, and simply smiled as she pointed to two other stones and asked, "What are these two? What are they used for?"
The old steward took a deep breath and, still retaining some rationality, said, "...Young Master's health doesn't require these things right now."
"So, what exactly is this?"
The old steward stared at Jiang Nuanzhi for a long while, but seeing that she showed no remorse whatsoever, he resigned himself to his fate and said in a low voice, "This is a formula that the master has improved. This is a beauty pill. After taking it, your skin will be rosy and radiant, and you will look glowing."
The other one is also a tonic pill, which can strengthen the body and dispel fatigue. I mentioned before that it's suitable for the young master to take now…”
Luckily, I only brought these few with me today. If I had brought more, he probably would have taken them all.
Just as the old butler was feeling a little relieved, he suddenly heard a "crunch," and then saw Jiang Nuanzhi crunching away like she was chewing candy as she stuffed the beauty pill directly into her mouth!
His eyes widened in shock: "This, this beauty pill is best taken in accordance with the seasons, on an empty stomach in the morning with warm rice wine, for the best effect! How could Young Master have swallowed it!"
Jiang Nuanzhi chewed and chewed, then tried to speak but found her mouth was covered in mush, so she continued chewing and chewing.
Just then, a cup of rice wine was handed to him from the side.
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately gave a thumbs up to Lü Shizhu, who was handing her yellow wine. With the help of the wine, she finally swallowed the pill. Then, she patted Lü Shizhu's shoulder with great satisfaction: "You're a promising young man, a promising young man indeed!"
Chi Heng, who was halfway there with a cup of tea, glared at Lü Shizhu.
That filthy lackey! He's everywhere!
Then, with a smirk, he gulped down the tea he had just poured.
He had just finished drinking when he heard Jiang Nuanzhi say, "Pour me another glass of water!"
His eyes lit up and he immediately turned around to pour water. However, in just a breath, when he returned, he saw that Lü Shizhu was already serving his sister-in-law and had swallowed another pill.
The old steward stared in disbelief, his eyes widening in astonishment: "Young Master! How could you have swallowed it again?"
Jiang Nuanzhi asked vaguely, "Is it not okay?"
"This medicine is definitely not as effective as taking it separately! Moreover, with so much potent medicinal power in your body, it's not good for the young master to have his body overexerted!"
“I know, so I’ll only take half of the Strengthening Pill!” Jiang Nuanzhi showed the remaining half to the old steward, then frowned and chewed it: “Sigh, it’s really bitter! Waiter, give this half to your father!” As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi gave the rest to the waiter: “Give this to your father.”
The old steward was stunned. Good, good, a cultured robber after all!
He glanced at Li Rong, who was lying on the bed unable to speak, and sighed to himself. What incredible luck this kid had, actually getting nearly two Qi-stabilizing pills from the young master!
When he recovers, his martial arts skills will likely increase significantly!
Looking at Jiang Nuanzhi in front of him, the old butler's lips twitched: "Does the young master have any further instructions?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "To be honest, you still have a lot, right?"
The old butler choked immediately: "No, not a single one left!"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head with amusement.
Nobody knew that the old butler was actually a miser!
He took the warm water from Lü Shizhu and drank a cup. He exclaimed in surprise, "It really is good medicine! It feels so warm and comforting as soon as it goes down!"
Jiang Nuanzhi stretched and loosened her arms and wrists. "I'm energized now, let's begin!"
The old butler asked warily, "Start what?"
"Of course, we're going to detoxify them!" Jiang Nuanzhi said. "You draw out the poison, and I'll force it out inch by inch. We'll detoxify them now."
Upon hearing this, the old steward frowned: "Young Master, this matter is of utmost importance..."
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately rolled up her sleeves: "If we don't detoxify them today, there's no guarantee that problems won't arise tomorrow. Every moment this toxin remains in their bodies is an increase in danger!"
Moreover, I'm going to the palace tomorrow, and I don't know what I'll face. This matter can't be delayed! It needs to be resolved now.
As she spoke, she laughed and said, "Don't worry, housekeeper. I assure you, as long as you can lure out that poisonous Gu, I will be able to expel this deadly poison very quickly."
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's sudden serious expression, the old steward was taken aback: "Young Master's words make sense. However, the other two protectors have not yet arrived, so the three of us will assist them. Young Master will inevitably have to work harder."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled faintly: "Alright, we still have Dongcang and Linchun, both of whom are quite skilled. If all else fails, we also have the experts by the side of the young princess and the Duke of Chi, which should be more than enough to provide assistance!"
"But everyone has had a tough day."
"yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
In fact, everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Chi Heng's eyes lit up when he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
Ah Rong used to be formidable, firstly because of his cunning and secondly because of his strategic planning, giving him the feeling of subduing the enemy without fighting and being unstoppable in battle.
But his sister-in-law gave him a completely different feeling. She seemed weak, but sometimes she was quite reckless, even more so than he was!
She's never ambiguous when it comes to serious matters. Even the most difficult tasks seem effortless for her. Moreover, she's decisive; whatever she sets her mind to, she'll usually accomplish, and afterwards, no one can truly guess what she's thinking.
He had never seen a woman like this before; in fact, he had never even seen a person like this before.
Especially seeing the arrogant old butler opposite him, who was completely helpless against his sister-in-law and could only obey orders, Chi Heng felt incredibly satisfied!
I'm afraid that if Jiang Nuanzhi were to kill someone right now, he would be handing the knife to her from behind.
"As expected of our Canglin City's Divine Healer! I knew it!"
General Wan, still dressed in his dusty military uniform, hadn't had time to change. He and Dongzang had been whispering to each other in a corner. Suddenly, after hearing something Dongzang said, he couldn't contain his excitement and shouted out!
The old butler only glanced at it, and the next second he heard a horrifying click.
His expression immediately hardened, and he stiffly turned around. Sure enough, he saw that his temporary young master had cracked open the outer shell of one of the pills.
The old butler clutched his heart! He looked at Jiang Nuanzhi and practically squeezed out the words "Young Master" through clenched teeth.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and patted the old butler's shoulder reassuringly: "Calm down, I'll give you a cup later! Waiter, go get a pot of honey water and dissolve the Hundred Tonic Pill! We'll all share this Hundred Tonic Pill today. Please bear with us. Once the old master and A Rong are cured of their poison, I'll ask for your reward!"
