Chapter 288 Purple Grass



If Li still can't understand, then he has truly lived in vain.

Looking at the quick-witted woman in front of him, he smiled. He was magnanimous and wouldn't argue with a woman.

"That's not a very nice way to put it."

"What's wrong with it?"

"As expected of the woman Qiao Yuchen has his eye on, he really knows how to discard someone after they've served their purpose."

The voice was as cold as frost, but Chen Siyuan laughed when she heard it, "Are you a donkey?"

Ruoli paused slightly, glancing at Chen Siyuan, "Have you forgotten how I helped you yesterday?"

Her expression was somewhat serious, and those familiar with Ruoli would know it was a sign of impending anger, but Chen Siyuan seemed unaware of it.

He smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Ruoli seems to really like those strange herbs."

These words worked as expected. Ruoli, who was about to get angry, immediately softened her expression, but her mouth was still sharp.

"What do you think you know?"

"I don't know much, except for a few medicinal herbs that others desperately want."

"Tell me about it," Ruoli said, intrigued.

Chen Siyuan, however, held her teacup and drank water, showing no intention of speaking.

This time, Ruoli couldn't stay calm. Was what this woman said true or not?

Chen Siyuan had her own ulterior motives. In her previous life, in order to provide Song Ji with enough funds, she had to get involved in some medicinal herb business.

Since the profit margin on ordinary medicinal herbs is very low, she gradually set her sights on some rare medicinal herbs.

These things are priceless treasures in some people's eyes, but worthless like weeds in others' eyes.

It was particularly effective on Ruoli, who was right in front of him.

Without revealing their identities, we can gain even greater benefits.

"I heard that someone has offered a price of a thousand taels for a single purple herb?" Chen Siyuan thought back carefully and, based on the timeline, it was very likely that the person in front of her had made the offer.

Unfortunately, I found the medicine myself six months later. It was my first time doing this kind of business, and I gave the middleman a commission of half of it.

This time, she wanted to take it all for herself.

"You know?" This is the herb that Ruoli has been searching for recently. He has been trying to find it for many years to treat his mother's heart ailment, and he has not been able to find it. Seeing his mother suffering from the pain every day makes him feel even more distressed.

"I know, but I have conditions."

"You still have conditions?" Ruoli raised an eyebrow.

He had initially thought she was repaying a debt of gratitude for yesterday's events, but now it seemed he had underestimated her.

"Um."

"You say it." For his mother's illness, he had no choice but to compromise.

"My grandfather is in poor health. I hope you can take a look at him and at least help him get over 100 years old."

"Hehe—" Ruoli sneered.

Looking at Chen Siyuan in front of me, I thought this woman was really delusional.

That day, Tian Kai found him and told him about it. He had initially thought it was because of Chen Siyuan. He glanced at Chen Siyuan's maternal grandfather, Wen Tonghai, from afar. He had overdrawn his life too much over the years and didn't have much time left.

The woman in front of me is over a hundred years old.

That's a lifespan of several decades.

"Is it difficult?" Chen Siyuan looked at Ruoli seriously, her expression becoming more earnest.

"There's nothing we can do."

“Alright, then I’ll use the purple gromwell to find a good doctor!” Chen Siyuan said as she stood up, muttering to herself, “I refuse to believe that a patch of purple gromwell can’t find a good doctor.”

These words started as an attempt to entice, but later turned into direct mockery.

If Ruoli can't treat it, then he's a quack.

Ruoli could completely disregard other people's opinions, but he was truly provoked by Chen Siyuan. Right now, he was waiting for Zicao and absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

However, a lifespan of more than thirty years is no small matter.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be over a hundred. I just hope he can live until the day before I'm here." After saying this, Chen Siyuan walked dejectedly into the inner room.

Ruoli remained in the same position for a long time, shocked by what the woman had just said.

'He will live until the day before I am here.'

It is clearly an inability to accept the departure of a loved one, and at the same time, it is a form of filial piety.

I couldn't bear to let the elderly see me leave first, and I couldn't bear to let them suffer such pain.

He looked into the inner room, but didn't go in. He called out, "I promise you."

Chen Siyuan, who had thought there was no hope, seemed to see a glimmer of hope upon hearing these words.

She knew her grandfather's health condition well, which was why they were so anxious not long ago.

Now that Ruoli has spoken, perhaps Grandpa really will live to be a hundred years old.

She owed her grandfather something in her past life, and this time, she wanted to repay it.

Trying to suppress the excitement in her heart, she wiped away the tears on her face, made her voice sound normal, and said, "Xucheng West is next to the ditch on the west side of the top of the barren hill."

Ruoli was shocked.

If you can't find it yourself after being described in such detail, then you're really incompetent.

Regardless of whether what they said is true or not, the fact that they could describe it in such detail suggests that they must have been there.

"Okay, I'll visit your grandfather first after I find him." Ruoli said this and quickly disappeared.

Chen Siyuan sat quietly on the bed in the inner room for a long time.

With Ruoli's help, Grandpa's health shouldn't be too bad. There's another crucial question: who exactly is Ruoli? They haven't been speaking in such a long time, so why hasn't anyone noticed?

With this question in mind, Chen Siyuan heard a commotion outside. For some reason, she could guess that she had been poisoned.

This poison is different from other poisons.

......

The next day.

Everyone got busy.

As usual, Chen Siyuan got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then went to Madam Qiao to tell her that she was going out for a while.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao did not ask where they were going, but simply told them to protect themselves.

She knew that two major events had occurred at Ping'an Temple, and given Chen Siyuan's small stature, it would be good for her to go out and relax for a while.

Mrs. Qiao gave her enough money and told her to take care of herself while she was away.

Seeing Madam Qiao like this, Chen Siyuan couldn't help but gently hug her, saying, "Thank you, Mother. I will."

At that moment, she vaguely felt that Mrs. Qiao was her mother.

"Okay, be careful out there, and bring plenty of people with you. If you see anything you like on the road, buy it. Don't worry about the money. If you run out, you can..."

"Mother, it's so good to have you."

Mrs. Qiao was stunned when she heard this.

She is also a mother, and she knows what those words really mean.

Looking at the child in front of her and hearing these words, she felt a warmth in her heart.

He didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand and gently patted her back.

Chen Siyuan seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, so she slowly backed out, knelt down and performed a deep bow to Madam Qiao, and left quickly before Madam Qiao could react.

Zhang Ma was also stunned by Chen Siyuan's actions. She didn't react for a long time after Chen Siyuan left. It wasn't until the housekeeper arrived that she realized what had happened.

"Madam, what's wrong with the young mistress?" Her expression, actions, and words just now... it seemed like...
