"Ahem, the white grass withers in the hands of an old woman named Chen."
"Moreover, this Granny Chen has an eccentric personality."
"If you want to get the medicinal herbs from her easily, you have to agree to one of her unreasonable demands."
Xiao Tang murmured softly, "Grandma Chen?"
It's impossible to determine what kind of person Granny Chen is based solely on her title.
But it was mentioned in the book!
In the book, the female protagonist, Xiao Rourou, went to Granny Chen for medicine both times in order to save the main villain and the male protagonist.
The first time, she went to get the poison to save the main villain.
They claimed they were going to get Gu medicine to cure the poison, but in reality... they were going to get Gu medicine for raising Gu, which made the Gu poison in the main villain's body even more severe.
The second time she went to get medicine for the male protagonist, she almost risked her life to get it.
This plot point in the book has been described as "heart-wrenching" by many readers.
At that time, the female lead loved the male lead but could not touch him because she had agreed to serve Granny Chen for three years without discussing feelings or getting involved in outside affairs.
certainly……
The male protagonist visited her multiple times and even secretly sneaked into Baiyao Pavilion to look for her.
Oh, by the way, this Granny Chen is the head of Baiyao Pavilion.
Baiyao Pavilion is a highly renowned auction house across the Five Continents, famous for auctioning priceless medicinal herbs.
Many high-ranking officials and nobles tried to buy medicinal herbs from this old woman at a low price, but she blocked them all.
Granny Chen was aloof and had an eccentric personality; she was not easy to get along with.
Xiao Tang touched his chin. "Grandma Chen has come to the capital of Dasheng?"
“Yes, there’s an auction at Zuichunlou tomorrow. She arrived in the capital today.” He paused. “Shanyue told me this news.”
"By the way, do you know Granny Chen?"
Xiao Tang chuckled softly: "How did your sister know about Granny Chen? And how did she find out?"
"Well... she said that she was saved by Granny Chen when she fell into the water, which is how she survived."
Ning Cang doesn't lie.
This was naturally a paraphrase of Ning Shanyue's words.
Ning Shanyue didn't need to lie about this matter, so what was Granny Chen's intention in saving Ning Shanyue?
Xiao Tang suddenly stood up.
"I'll go check out Zuichunlou."
She went to meet this Granny Chen!
...
Zuichunlou.
This restaurant, which is usually packed with guests, is nearly empty today.
Ning Shanyue gently poured a cup of tea for Granny Chen and said softly, "Granny, I heard that you came to the capital this time to find a suitable master for your Gu poison?"
The old woman took the teacup Ning Shanyue handed her and slowly took a sip.
With a slight smile, the wrinkles on her face seemed to solidify.
It's not scary at all.
But she was by no means particularly kind.
She said softly, "Of course it is, because I specifically went to ask our God Lord, and he guided me here, so it must be absolutely right."
She paused again at this point.
"And she will definitely show up today."
Ning Shanyue's eyes flashed with a strange light as she quickly reached out and grabbed Granny Chen's wrist.
“Mother-in-law, you said before that if I want something, you will give it to me.”
"Oh?" Granny Chen put down her teacup. "Tell me, what do you want?"
Ning Shanyue hesitated for a moment, but of course, it was just feigned hesitation.
Immediately, the tips of her ears turned red.
Grandma Chen, having lived most of her life, immediately understood the situation when she saw her youngest daughter's condition.
"I see. You have someone you like, and you want your mother-in-law's help, right?"
She patted the table.
"Alright, alright, I've always considered you my granddaughter. After all, this old woman doesn't have any grandchildren. Whoever you want, I'll help you."
Ning Shanyue was in a great mood after achieving her goal.
She immediately knelt down.
"Grandma, what I want is white herb extract. Please give me this medicine."
Grandma Chen, who had been quite happy, suddenly changed her expression.
She had no idea why this woman wanted this thing out of the blue.
You have to understand, she went through a lot of trouble to get the herbicide.
In order to lure out today's master, she absolutely cannot give this withered white grass to Ning Shanyue.
"No, I can agree to anything else, but this is absolutely impossible."
Ning Shanyue's eyes immediately reddened. "Mother-in-law, why?"
She was talking until her mouth was dry.
Why is it that when it comes to my mother-in-law, she won't agree?
Ning Shanyue felt like crying.
"Is it because the young master you like doesn't like you? If so, what use is your withered white grass?"
Grandma Chen let out a deep snort through her nostrils.
She handed a porcelain bottle to Ning Shanyue.
"Since you've really suffered a lot, I'll give you this love potion. All you have to do is have the man you like swallow it, and he will definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tang appeared.
Just as Ning Shanyue was about to take it, she exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Emma!"
The sudden shout startled Ning Shanyue.
Naturally, he was unable to successfully take over the porcelain vase.
The porcelain vase fell to the ground and shattered.
The worms struggled and wriggled on the ground.
This kind of love potion requires a humid environment, otherwise it will die immediately, so it kept wriggling and moving closer to Ning Shanyue.
Ning Shanyue was most afraid of insects, let alone the Gu insects that made people tremble with fear.
She screamed and jumped up from the ground, retreating several steps.
Fear and panic were written all over his face, which was completely disheveled.
Granny Chen calmly observed her expression, then swiftly used her chopsticks to transfer the Gu worm into another porcelain bottle.
