Hua Yujie tilted her head and thought for a moment, realizing that her uncle was right. Her father and uncle had tried many methods to treat her ailment over the years, but every time she had her period, she had to endure excruciating pain. However, the pill that Youxue gave her, while not curing the ailment, did stop the pain.
Not only was she curious about where the elixir came from, but even her uncle was curious. Her father didn't want her to get too close to the children of high-ranking officials, lest it cause trouble. She didn't tell her father about the elixir, only her very close uncle.
"Alright, try the pastries I just bought today. Miss Qian isn't so easily defeated." Hua Duanlian stuffed a pastry into Hua Yujie's mouth, and seeing his niece eating it, he added, "The Qian family has been in turmoil lately, so you mustn't go to see Miss Qian. If your father finds out, you'll probably get a scolding again."
"Uncle, I only told you my little secret with Youxue because I know you're the best. But you have to keep an eye on things for me." Hua Yujie shook her uncle's arm again and started to act coquettishly.
hehe……
Hua Duanli laughed a few times, removed Hua Yujie's hand, and said frankly, "Don't worry, even if you didn't tell me, Uncle would have done it. Who told me that Uncle is a medicine fanatic? Uncle is waiting for Miss Qian to tell me which master made such a miraculous pill?"
"I'll definitely ask for you when I have the chance," Hua Yujie agreed very seriously.
As they were talking, Cuiling led Doctor Liu in. Before Doctor Liu could even put down his medicine box, he was entangled by Miss Hua.
Doctor Liu understood, fearing that the young lady and the second master were getting impatient, so he sent the coachman back as fast as he could as soon as he left the Qian family's house. When he looked up and saw the young lady serving him a cup of hot tea, he couldn't help but smile.
After taking a sip of hot tea and catching his breath, he told them about Qian Youxue's condition. Once he confirmed that Qian Youxue was alright, Hua Yujie finally smiled.
...
As night fell, a gentle breeze swept in, filling the room with a faint floral fragrance.
Lianxin, having worked all day, had fallen asleep by the bedside. The cautious Qian Youxue had been pretending to be asleep ever since Lianxin sat down. At this moment, smelling the unusual floral fragrance, she slightly opened her eyes.
Wolf fireworks?
Yes, it's wolf fireworks. This is a natural incense with a very faint scent, so faint that most people couldn't detect it. Besides being an incense, wolf fireworks also serve as fertilizer for bloodworms. Bloodworms are both good and evil; they can save lives, but they can also harm them.
Could it be?
A bold idea flashed through her mind, and she bit her lip in surprise.
She took a deep breath, used her spiritual power to sense the changes around her, and after confirming that no one was waiting at the door, she carefully got up and went to the window.
The moon in the sky was very large, and its light covered the earth like a light veil.
Not far away, Granny Yang and two other women were watering the flowers in the pot. They moved very slowly and gently, afraid of damaging the plants.
Qian Youxue squinted and finally saw the scene in the basin. She was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide and covered it with her hand to prevent herself from screaming.
What does Mother need so many of these ten or so pots of wolf-shaped fireworks for?
In her shock, the scene of the last time she saw Qian Bowen flashed through her mind. Yunhe and she both smelled the scent of Spiral Vine, a medicinal vine that many experts needed as a catalyst for alchemy, and also a precious herb for suppressing toxins.
Now, connecting the Spiral Vine, the Wolf Fireworks, and the Bloodworms, she concluded that someone needed a blood transfusion, or something in exchange for. The person the mother cared about most in this courtyard was Qian Bowen, so she was using this method to prolong Qian Bowen's life.
