He didn't touch Xie Zhendong's "heart-warming soup" at all, yet he dared to claim credit for it so forcefully?
Moreover, he has been drinking Fangxin Soup frequently lately. The soup looks ordinary, but its rich medicinal aroma is actually hidden in the soup.
You can smell the rich medicinal aroma as soon as you get close, and you can feel its powerful medicinal effects just by smelling it.
However, Xie Zhendong's so-called "Fragrant Heart Soup" seems like a counterfeit product from Taobao for 9.9 yuan with free shipping, with a weak aroma and impure medicinal properties.
In short, having grown accustomed to Xie Li's version of "heart-warming soup," Old Master Xie simply couldn't stand Xie Zhendong's version. He couldn't stand the smell of it.
Xie Zhendong: "Grandpa, you don't know, this Heart-Fluttering Soup was personally prepared by Miss Ziyuan, using the Sacred Heart Fruit, a sacred fruit from the ancient martial arts world, as its medicinal ingredient..."
He meticulously touted the effects of the decoction, waiting for Old Master Xie to ask for it.
After all, he had followed Xie Ziyuan and had seen the world in the capital. Even the elder of the Shen family treated him with kindness. How dare Old Master Xie push him away?
Xie Zhendong put on airs, displaying an air of otherworldly wisdom and detached mastery.
Grandpa Xie completely ignored him, turned around and found Xie Li in the direction of Xie Li, beckoning Xie Li to come forward.
"Second Uncle." He pulled Xie Li to sit down on the edge of the bed, his gaze towards his second great-uncle carrying a hidden pressure, "What are you trying to do with all this fanfare today?"
"Could it be that you're trying to take advantage of my illness and inability to attend to other matters, so you can seize my Xie family's property and take my position as clan leader?"
Second Uncle's lips twitched; he was infuriated by Old Master Xie's counterattack. "I came to save you! If we hadn't arrived in time, you probably would have died from taking fake medicine!"
He didn't dare to directly say that Xie Li had given him poison. Whose poison could bring someone back to life?
Moreover, he was well aware of how much Xie Buyun favored this granddaughter.
Grandpa Xie: "Fake medicine? I personally approved Lili's prescription. Are you saying I'm making fake medicine, Second Uncle?"
The second uncle hesitated, leaning on his cane and remaining silent—Xie Buyun certainly couldn't possibly be making fake medicine. Even though he had shifted his focus to business and commerce over the years, his achievements in medicine making within the Xie family were still very high.
Back then, Xie's Huichuntang almost went out of business. It was only through the efforts of Old Master Xie that the Xie family of traditional Chinese medicine was able to build up its reputation and regain its standing in Linjiang City.
If even Grandpa Xie makes fake medicine, then what is Huichuntang? It would probably have been drowned in the spittle of the general public long ago.
When it comes to the Xie family's foundation, how could the second uncle dare to utter a word? Are you kidding me? Do you still want your annual dividends?
Xie Zhendong wanted to assert his presence; he couldn't let this "heart-warming soup" go to waste! It was true that Xie Ziyuan had prepared the medicine, but he had been the one overseeing the cooking process the whole time!
He has spent so much time in the alchemy room from yesterday to today, he's exhausted. He has to reclaim this credit!
"Grandpa, even so, you should still drink the Heart-Fragrant Soup first. The Sacred Heart Fruit is a sacred object that can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons..."
He eagerly stepped forward, wanting to feed Old Master Xie again.
Grandpa Xie, unable to bear it any longer, shouted: "Get out of here! This is the fake medicine—a counterfeit and shoddy product!"
You have the nerve to call it Sacred Heart Fruit? Is there even a piece of Sacred Heart Fruit the size of a fingernail in this soup? Probably not!
Xie Zhendong's expression changed several times, unsure whether he was indignant for Xie Ziyuan or for himself: "Old man, you've gone too far with those words!"
