When Xu Qingshan saw the pill, he was a little shocked, but Xu Miaomiao beside him seemed to have expected it. He examined the red pill and said, "This is a good thing, a good thing."
When Xu Qingshan heard this, he asked in doubt: "What Madam Xu Xu meant, this thing can really prolong one's life."
Xu Miaomiao shook her head. "This thing is called Changzu. It is made by drying a multi-legged insect and grinding it into powder. If taken externally, it can indeed prolong life. But if you take it internally, the deadly toxin in it will probably turn you into a dried corpse."
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan's eyes widened in disbelief, but his mother must have eaten this thing before: "Could this be the reason?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly: "The most important thing is to find out where this thing came from. Remember not to use it again in the future. Take some medicine that can enhance physical strength, and I believe the body will recover soon. But Mr. Xu, can you really convince Madam Zhang to stop taking this medicine?"
Xu Qingshan remained silent.
Just as the two were discussing, the door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately put away the pills in her hand. Madam Zhang found Xu Qingshan in a threatening manner, and saw the box in his hand and spoke angrily.
"You are such a traitor. I raised you with so much hardship, and you stole your mother's medicine to give to this little bitch."
"No, mother, you misunderstood me."
Xu Qingshan immediately began to explain.
But at this moment, Madam Zhang, who was in a rage, didn't want to listen to him. She took the box in his hand and asked, "If it's not the real thing, what are you doing with it?"
Madam Zhang continued, "I spent a lot of money to buy this from the Taoist priest. Each one is worth a fortune. According to the status of the Xu family, I could only use my dowry to buy some of it. Now you are actually ruining it and giving it to this bitch. Are you really going to force your mother to die sooner so that you can marry Gu Yuanniang?"
"Mother, why are you so aggressive?"
Xu Qingshan opened his mouth with some dissatisfaction and wanted to tell Madam Zhang to shut up, but Madam Zhang refused to listen.
He took the box away angrily and prepared to leave: "If you were not my biological child, I would have beaten you to death today."
"Madam Zhang, this medicine may really make you look radiant, but it will cost you your life."
Xu Miaomiao, who was behind him, saw this scene and spoke slowly.
"You are just a low-class doctor, what do you know?" Madam Zhang turned around and looked at Xu Miaomiao dissatisfiedly: "I think you just want me to die sooner so that Qingshan and that bitch can be together."
"In that case, I have nothing to say."
Xu Miaomiao remained silent. She really didn't know how to persuade the woman in front of the Lord.
Seeing this, Xu Qingshan immediately knelt down on the ground, looked at Madam Zhang earnestly, and said, "Mother, this is really harmful. You must never eat it again. The last time you fainted, it was because of it."
"You rebellious son, have you also been bewitched by her?"
Madam Zhang said with some dissatisfaction: "I know best whether this medicine is useful or not. After taking it, I feel a lot more relaxed. If you insist that it has no effect of prolonging life, I absolutely cannot believe it."
"Of course there is such a thing." Xu Miaomiao at the side slowly said, "But have you ever thought that if this thing can actually prolong life, then why doesn't the Taoist take it himself?"
Hearing this, Madam Zhang paused for a moment, and recalled the Taoist's face in her mind. It was indeed a little old. If this medicine could really make people look radiant and not cause any harm to the body, then why didn't the Taoist take it himself? This point really convinced Madam Zhang, and she was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
Xu Miaomiao also knew that after hearing this, Madam Zhang, who originally did not believe it, also began to believe it a little bit. She picked up the red particles in her hand and handed them to Madam Zhang: "Look."
Mrs. Zhang picked up the tiny red particles and looked at them carefully.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao slowly spoke, "If you put it to your nose, you can smell a faint, rotten smell. This thing is a bug originally called a long-legged insect. This kind of long-legged insect loves to suck the bodies of dead people. Because the blood coagulates, the corpse will appear pale, which is the so-called radiant complexion. Grinding this bug into powder and making it into this kind of granules will indeed make people's complexion temporarily better. But have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you take this kind of bug that eats corpses for a long time?"
Hearing this, Madam Zhang was a little scared and dropped the grains in her hand to the ground. Just when she was about to collapse, Xu Qingshan hugged her and made it impossible for her to fall.
"Impossible, it was Hong'er who told me that. How could Hong'er harm me? Now, Hong'er is pregnant with Qingshan's child. Even if I did that, what good would it do her?"
"We won't know if it was her who did it if we try." Xu Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and spoke slowly.
When Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao, her heart sank and she was speechless.
After the mother and son left, Gu Yuanniang came out from behind the curtain and looked at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief. "Did Liu Hong really do that? I knew she was not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious that she could even frame her own aunt."
Xu Miaomiao stared at the two people's departing figures and said lightly: "Human desires are endless. She wants too much, but she can't grasp it. She can only use this method to gain peace of mind."
"So Miaomiao, what you said before that nothing is certain is what you meant." Gu Yuanniang smiled bitterly and spoke slowly.
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the fun has just begun."
According to the original plan, after three or five days, Xu Qingshan hurried to the department store and told Xu Miaomiao that Madam Zhang was seriously ill.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately took the medicine box and rushed to Xu's house. When she arrived at Xu's house, Mr. Xu was sitting beside her with a sad face, and Liu Hong was looking at the weak woman on the bed with crying cheeks.
At this time, Madam Zhang had long lost her former nobility and elegance. She sat on the bed with a dull and pale face, and it seemed as if one could not even feel a woman's breath through her weak nostrils.
Xu Miaomiao put down the medicine box and felt Madam Zhang's pulse. Then she shook her head helplessly: "She is seriously ill. I am afraid she won't live for many days."
"What should I do?" Xu Qingshan panicked and quickly knelt down in front of the bed. He felt heartbroken when he saw the weak woman.
Liu Hong, who was standing by, had a slightly bulging belly. She touched her belly and looked at the woman: "Aunt, what will we do without you?"
