"Snow Grass!" Liu Xiaoyuan slowly uttered these three words.
"Snow Grass?" Tang Xuan was completely confused because she had no idea what kind of medicinal herb Snow Grass was. She had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
Xiao Qingfeng finally understood why Liu Xiaoyuan said this medicinal herb was troublesome. He knew that only the Li family possessed this Snow Grass, and the Li family regarded it as a treasure. Obtaining Snow Grass from the Li family would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Of course, Xiao Qingfeng had no idea whether there was any snow grass in other places.
"Xiao Yuan, where can I find this snow herb?" Tang Xuan asked hurriedly. For her mother's illness, Tang Xuan would bravely forge ahead even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Tang Xuan, this Snow Fragrance is no ordinary medicinal herb. I don't even know where to find it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingfeng was initially puzzled as to why Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't telling Tang Xuan the truth. Then, after a moment's thought, he immediately realized what was going on.
If Liu Xiaoyuan tells Tang Xuan the whereabouts of Xue Xiangcao, Tang Xuan will definitely go to the Li family, which will inevitably lead to a conflict. Not only will she not be able to get Xue Xiangcao, but she might also be in mortal danger.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Tang Xuan's face showed a hint of disappointment. It was as if someone had finally seen a glimmer of hope, only to discover that the glimmer of hope was not sunlight, but someone else's lamplight.
"Tang Xuan, don't worry. Although I don't know Xue Xiangcao's whereabouts right now, I will ask Doctor Xiao Qingfeng to keep an eye out for her. I think with Doctor Xiao Qingfeng's connections, we should have news about Xue Xiangcao soon," Liu Xiaoyuan lied.
Xiao Qingfeng immediately agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, young friend. I will do my best to help find the whereabouts of Xuexiangcao. I think it won't be long before we find out."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuan's face finally softened slightly, and she quickly said, "Xiao Yuan, thank you, Dr. Xiao, thank you so much!"
After leaving Tang Xuan's mother's room, Tang Zhongxin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked with a smile, "Dr. Xiao, how is my wife's condition?"
Tang Zhongxin originally didn't want to address Tang Xuan's mother as his wife, but when he saw that Tang Xuan was still there, and Tang Zhongxin wanted to use Tang Xuan as bait to recruit Liu Xiaoyuan to his side.
Xiao Qingfeng said, "There's still one ingredient missing. Once we have all the ingredients, I think your wife's condition will improve."
"What's the missing ingredient? Do you need my help?" Tang Zhongxin asked hurriedly.
Xiao Qingfeng wanted to tell her immediately, but then he thought that if Tang Zhongxin also knew about Li Jiaxue Xiangcao, and Tang Xuan found out, then all the lies he and Liu Xiaoyuan told would have been for nothing.
Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng said, "As for this medicine... well, I'm afraid I cannot tell you."
Tang Xuan didn't have much affection for Tang Zhongxin to begin with, and seeing Xiao Qingfeng keeping Tang Zhongxin in suspense, she became even less inclined to speak.
"Tang Xuan, your mother still needs care, so we don't need you to take her. You go and take care of your mother!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Tang Xuan with a smile.
Upon seeing Tang Zhongxin suddenly appear, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Tang Zhongxin must have asked Xiao Qingfeng to treat his first wife. Tang Xuan would definitely be angry if she stayed here, so it was best to send her away.
Tang Xuan was incredibly intelligent, and after meeting Tang Zhongxin, she roughly guessed what had happened. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
"Okay, Xiao Yuan, Dr. Xiao, then I won't see you off. Goodbye!" Tang Xuan said before walking into the house.
After Tang Xuan entered the room, Tang Zhongxin smiled and said to Xiao Qingfeng, "Dr. Xiao, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you will grant it."
"What is it? Speak!" Xiao Qingfeng said as he walked.
Tang Zhongxin said with a slightly obsequious smile, "Dr. Xiao, it's like this, I asked you to treat my wife a few times before, but you were too busy to come. This time, it's perfect timing, Dr. Xiao, since you're here, how about..."
Before Tang Zhongxin could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Brother Tang, are you confused? We just finished examining your wife. Do you want us to examine her again?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhongxin immediately looked embarrassed. He was very angry at Liu Xiaoyuan's knowing-it-all attitude, but he couldn't show it.
"Brother Liu, please don't make fun of me. It's all my fault back then. Sigh! Let's not talk about it anymore. It's all a mistake I made when I was young. Let's not mention it..." Tang Zhongxin looked regretful. If the uninformed onlookers didn't know the truth, they would really believe Tang Zhongxin's performance.
However, no matter how superb his acting skills were, he couldn't fool Liu Xiaoyuan.
Although I had very little contact with Tang Zhongxin, I could tell from the fact that he abandoned Tang Xuan's mother and from Tang Xuan's mother's attitude towards him today that Tang Zhongxin is not a good person.
"Brother Tang, a man who isn't romantic in his youth is truly wasting his life! I'm so envious!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan's words seemed to be praising Tang Zhongxin, but the real meaning behind them was that Tang Zhongxin was a scoundrel who only cared about his own womanizing and didn't care about the feelings of the mother and daughter.
Tang Zhongxin wasn't stupid; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the head of the Tang family. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind Liu Xiaoyuan's words.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan repeatedly oppose him, Tang Zhongxin's anger had reached its limit. If Xiao Qingfeng hadn't been there, he might have immediately turned hostile.
Tang Zhongxin didn't respond to Liu Xiaoyuan's words. Instead, he used silence to tell Liu Xiaoyuan that he, Tang Zhongxin, was very angry. If Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't be polite.
"Oh dear! Since Brother Tang doesn't want to talk to me, it seems I'm not welcome. Well then, I won't be so shameless as to stay here any longer!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, quickening his pace as he walked outside!
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhongxin couldn't wait for Liu Xiaoyuan to leave!
"Young friend, wait for me!" Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan quicken his pace, Xiao Qingfeng hurriedly followed.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhongxin became anxious. He couldn't wait for Liu Xiaoyuan to leave, but he didn't want Xiao Qingfeng to leave! He was still counting on Xiao Qingfeng to treat his wife.
"Dr. Xiao, Dr. Xiao!" Tang Zhongxin hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Dr. Xiao, please take a look at my wife's illness, Dr. Xiao..."
Xiao Qingfeng had already learned from what had just happened that Liu Xiaoyuan seemed to have a lot of grievances against Tang Zhongxin. Now, Xiao Qingfeng was completely obedient to Liu Xiaoyuan, because Liu Xiaoyuan's medical skills had earned his utmost respect!
Knowing full well that Liu Xiaoyuan and Tang Zhongxin don't get along, if Xiao Qingfeng still agrees to Liu Xiaoyuan's request, he'd be out of his mind.
So when Tang Zhongxin stopped him and asked him to go see a doctor for Tang Zhongxin's wife, Xiao Qingfeng said irritably, "Sorry, I don't have time right now!"
Happy New Year to everyone! May you all have a prosperous and fulfilling year, enjoy good health, make lots of money, and date the most beautiful (handsome) girls (guests).
