Chapter 61 They've all withered and died!
Xu Zhaozhao worked late into the night.
Looking at the various sizes of jars on the table, she felt that it should be enough. After all, the life force she had hidden in these pills could not be stored for too long, at most three months.
Alas, in the end, it's because her current strength is too weak. If she could level up again, the effects of the pills she makes should last for about half a year.
This medicine is made with genuine, high-quality ingredients, but she has also added her own life-saving power to it. That's why she dares to boast that as long as the head isn't chopped off and the heart isn't ripped out, one pill is absolutely enough to keep the patient alive.
Xu Zhaozhao prepared some for her father and several brothers, but she gave less to her third brother. This was mainly because he was a scholar and did not go to the battlefield, so a few life-saving pills were enough for him.
As for Xie Zheng and his second brother, they were definitely the ones who received the most preparations.
The next morning, Xu Junfeng was somewhat troubled: "Xie Sanlang just came by yesterday, and you're so eager to see him?"
Xu Zhaozhao glared at him: "I did this to deliver medicine to him! Besides, I didn't ask him to come to my house. Why didn't you just arrange to meet him at a restaurant outside?"
Xu Junfeng wasn't very willing, but seeing the fire in his sister's eyes, he didn't seem to have the courage to refuse.
We arranged to meet at a teahouse, not a restaurant.
Xu Lin arrived at the Marquis's residence in the morning, and Xu Junfeng personally went to pick her up, which gave the young lady a lot of face, which pleased Xu Lin. Afterwards, Xu Junfeng brought his sister to the teahouse to meet Xie Sanlang.
"Here are a few bottles of medicine, one of which is for your uncle. Remember what I said: as long as he has a breath left, take this medicine immediately, and it will save his life for three days. I can't guarantee that I can save him 100%, but at least I can buy him some time."
Xie Sanlang took the medicine with some skepticism: "Are you sure? Is this medicine really that miraculous?"
Xu Zhaozhao wasn't afraid of his doubts, but she was afraid that he would believe everything.
"Do you have any brothers who are seriously injured? If so, just give them one and see how it works."
Sure enough, Xie Sanlang did run into trouble on his return to the capital this time, and several of his men were actually injured.
But this was medicine given to him by his fiancée; was he really going to give it to another man?
"This small bottle contains a smaller amount of medicine. Let them try it and they'll know if it's real or fake. Just one thing: the effect of this medicine is relatively short-lived, lasting at most three months. Also, the cap must be sealed tightly, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness. I'm keeping track of the days; I'll have someone send you another batch in two months."
Although Xie Sanlang didn't know if the medicine was truly effective, he found his fiancée's thoughtfulness quite remarkable.
"Thank you. But making medicine requires a lot of herbs, right? And the cost..."
"The bag of jewels you gave me yesterday is enough to cover all the medicine you need for the rest of your life."
As soon as Xu Zhaozhao spoke, she realized it was inappropriate, as if she were cursing Xie Sanlang, so she quickly added, "I was talking about some medicine for treating headaches and fevers, and I will arrange it for you."
Xie Sanlang's eyes held a hint of a smile when he looked at her, but even more so, they were filled with doting affection.
Xie Junfeng, who was standing to the side, felt that he was getting in the way of everyone sitting there.
He turned his head and muttered, "Hmph, acting like everyone has a fiancée?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zhaozhao pinched him.
Xu Junfeng almost cried out, rubbing the spot where he had been pinched, and said aggrievedly, "Am I still your second brother?"
Xie Zheng immediately took the medicine and had several of his soldiers try it out.
The medicine was indeed quite effective, especially for a soldier who had lost too much blood and was told by the doctor that he wouldn't live past the night. He woke up in less than 15 minutes after taking the medicine. Xie Zheng quickly called the doctor over to take a look, and even the doctor was amazed, saying that the soldier was no longer in danger and just needed to rest and recover.
Xie Zheng was completely stunned!
Isn't this medicine's effect a bit too miraculous?
But the thought that it was given to me by my wife made me feel inexplicably sweet.
A fiancée is a wife!
Afterwards, Xie Zheng put the medicine away. Remembering that Zhao Zhao had said the medicine would only last for three months, he left a small bottle at home for his second uncle, just in case.
After Xu Junfeng learned of the medicine's miraculous effects, he made up his mind to keep it with him at all times. Who could say for sure what would happen on the battlefield?
Xu Lin was taken to the Marquis's residence, and Sun Huaizhi came along as well. He mainly wanted to reconnect with his cousins. As for what happened between him and Xu Zhaozhao, he thought it was just a casual joke and that the Xu family shouldn't hold a grudge.
Sun Huaizhi was wrong.
The Xu family has always been protective of their own!
Xu Han and Xu Jun'an only found out about it afterward. They were furious but had nowhere to vent their anger. The father and son couldn't very well go to the academy to beat Sun Huaizhi up. If Sun Huaizhi made a fuss and ruined Zhaozhao's reputation, that would be a big problem.
So, the father and his sons have been enduring it all along.
Let's start with tonight's banquet!
Because it was a family, although there were separate seats for men and women, there was only a screen between them, and it was set up in a waterside pavilion, so it didn't feel crowded.
Xu Zhaozhao could tell that Sun Huaizhi wouldn't have an easy time tonight.
She never imagined that her three brothers could be so heartless!
They actually took advantage of Sun Huaizhi's drunkenness and beat him up!
Moreover, although they used harsh methods, they didn't hit him in the face, making it difficult for Sun Huaizhi to file a complaint.
Even if it were his own mother, he wouldn't dare to take off his clothes and say that he had been bullied by his cousins!
Therefore, Sun Huaizhi had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill himself.
In fact, Sun Huaizhi genuinely didn't know who hit him.
At first, he didn't suspect that he had been beaten; he just thought that he had really fallen while drunk.
But when he noticed that there was more and more Yu Qing on his body, he realized that someone had attacked him.
He got drunk at the Marquis's residence and stayed there for one night before this happened. Do we even need to guess who did this?
Sun Huaizhi finally understood what kind of people his cousins were, and vowed never to offend the Xu family again!
Xu Lin didn't know what her son had gone through, but she also found it quite uncomfortable to stay at the Marquis's residence that night.
In the past, when she came back to live, she would either stay in the courtyard where she had left home or stay at the old lady's place for a couple of days.
But this time, she was assigned to the guest quarters!
As for why she couldn't live in the courtyard she used to live in, Wang Ruolan's reason was that it was under renovation, and that it had been under renovation before Xu Junfeng returned, since no one knew he would come back at this time.
Therefore, Xu Lin couldn't say that her sister-in-law was deliberately making her feel wronged.
To Xu Lin's surprise, after only one night, all the flowers and plants inside and outside the guest house withered!
This news almost made the old lady faint!
