Chapter 40 Becoming His Slave
Lin Xiyue returned home with two large bags of medicinal herbs.
Mother Lin had been waiting anxiously at home.
She was originally planning to go out with Lin Xiyue to register the two little babies.
But Lin Xiyue did not agree.
She said mysteriously that when Mother Lin went to buy groceries today, she would meet an acquaintance, and that acquaintance would give Mother Lin something.
Mother Lin was skeptical, but she actually ran into an old acquaintance at the vegetable market.
That person was Aunt Liu, who used to work as a maid in the Lin family.
Aunt Liu has only come to the Lin family to work as a maid in recent years. The previous Aunt Wang worked as a maid in the Lin family for more than 20 years. A few years ago, she suddenly fell ill and the doctor recommended that she rest and not move too much, so she had no choice but to introduce her fellow villager Aunt Liu to replace her.
The Lin family members are gentle and kind. Working as a maid in the Lin family is a very comfortable and well-paid job, so Aunt Liu did a good job in their family.
However, something happened to the Lin family, and they lost their house, so they naturally couldn't afford to hire a servant. So Mother Lin gave Aunt Liu two months' salary and let her go.
When she met Mother Lin, Aunt Liu was very enthusiastic. She held Mother Lin's hand and asked her all kinds of questions, looking like she cared about her very much.
Finally, Aunt Liu handed the bag in her hand to Mother Lin.
Mother Lin quickly declined.
"It's not something fancy, just some pickled vegetables I made myself. Didn't you like eating them before? So I brought some for you."
"I was originally going to send it to where you live, but I didn't expect to find it here, so I just happened to give it to you."
Aunt Liu stuffed the things into Mother Li's hands, then left in a hurry, making an excuse that she had something to do at home.
Mother Lin opened the black bag and found several bottles of pickled vegetables inside.
It’s just that the color of the pickled vegetables is a bit dark, probably because they have been pickled for too long.
Mother Lin didn't think much about it. She bought the vegetables and went back with her things.
When I got home, I saw Lin Xiyue walking in from outside carrying two large bags.
He placed a few bottles of pickles on the stove and went to check on the little treasure in the cart.
Seeing the two little babies with their round eyes looking around, I couldn't help but hug one in each hand and give them a kiss.
She missed them a lot after not seeing them for the whole morning.
The two little babies laughed even more happily in her arms, and one of them was sucking his little hands and looked hungry.
Mother Lin felt distressed and asked Lin Xiyue to feed the two children quickly.
Then I went to make some milk powder and fed it to the babies who were not full, for fear that the two babies would be hungry.
Lin Xiyue had just come back and hadn't even had a sip of water when her mother Lin rushed her to feed her. She couldn't help but pout.
Could this be the legendary forgetting the mother after having a child?
In Mother Lin's eyes, once she has her baby, she no longer exists as a mother.
Lin Xiyue sighed, holding a baby in each hand, went upstairs, and went to the room to feed them.
The child is not even one month old yet, and apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he basically sleeps all day.
After drinking breast milk and eating some formula, the two little babies fell asleep soundly again.
Lin Xiyue put them in the children's room, lowered the retro curtains, and then went into her own room and started playing drums.
She should be thankful that the room she chose was big enough to accommodate a large bed and still have enough space.
At this moment, she spread the large bag of medicinal materials on the clean carpet on the ground, and then took out a shabby alchemy furnace.
This thing was really hard to buy. She ran all over the antique street before she bought an old stove that was barely usable.
Some other fancy stoves are either unusable or purely decorative.
After dividing all the herbs into five portions, Lin Xiyue weighed them in her hands and roughly knew the amount.
Refining the elixir requires a huge consumption of spiritual energy, and she doesn't know if her current spiritual energy can support the use of these five doses of medicine.
An hour later.
Five pills that looked bad lay quietly in Lin Xiyue's hands.
As expected, due to insufficient spiritual power, the refined pills could hardly maintain a perfect shape.
Fortunately, the efficacy of the medicine was not affected too much. After all, this kind of basic medicine was too simple for her.
She cleaned up the residue of the herbs.
The already dilapidated stove next to it now looked even more dilapidated.
The originally intact furnace body now has cracks.
Although this stove is usable, its quality is too low and it cannot withstand the burning of the spiritual fire.
It was estimated that it would be scrapped after two more uses, so she still had to find a way to find a good alchemy furnace.
I wonder if Master Qiao has any way to buy a good alchemy furnace.
Lin Xiyue remembered that Master Mo had mentioned before that Master Qiao himself seemed to be a member of some Pharmacist Association.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Master Qiao, then went downstairs to eat.
——
At the same time, in the Xiao family villa, Xiao Xiaoru felt as if her body was burning with pain. She lay on the bed, talking nonsense.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here, don't come over here..."
Xiao Xiaoru felt a little unwell early in the morning, so she took a leave and did not go to the company.
I originally thought it was just a common cold, but the condition did not improve in the afternoon and became even worse.
Xiao Xiaoru's body was like a cooked shrimp at this moment, red and steaming.
If Lin Xiyue was here at this moment, she would see an endless stream of black air rushing into her body.
Xiao Xiaoru was floundering on the bed like a dead fish. She felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, but her throat was repeatedly blocked by something and she couldn't scream out. The endless dark nightmare trapped her. She felt like she had walked into darkness and couldn't get out...
By the evening, Xiao Xiaoru finally regained consciousness.
Because she told the nanny in the morning that she was not feeling well and did not want to eat, and asked not to disturb her, no one noticed her abnormality that day.
Fortunately, the disease came and went quickly, and by the evening, Xiao Xiaoru had returned to normal.
She sat up in bed and covered her chest, feeling that something was different.
She suddenly felt that she missed someone very much. She wanted to see him very much. She wanted to be with him forever. She wanted to...
The feeling has never been so strong.
Zhao Xiaoru took out his cell phone and called Gu Bo. Gu Bo didn't answer, so he started sending messages one by one.
"Abo, where are you? I really want to see you."
"Are you back home now? Can I come see you?"
"Abo, I had a nightmare. I'm so scared. I want you to stay with me."
"Abo, I seem to have suddenly realized that I can't live without you..."
Text messages flooded into Gu Bo's mobile phone one after another. Gu Bo held the phone in his hand with a determined smile on his face.
He knew that the mysterious woman had succeeded again.
From this moment on, the Xiao family was completely under his control.
That bitch Xiao Xiaoru became his slave from then on.
As for Lin Xiyue and his family, they probably aren't having an easy time now.
After all, he had seen the mysterious woman's strange methods.
It is enough to make people want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot.
