and then drugged him, sullying his reputation and forcing him to marry her.Then came exile, and it seemed they never had the chance to speak calmly when they met again.Jiang Wan's expression stiffened...The two of them rushed straight to Deji Hall. Deji Hall on Xiejie Street was very bustling, with people coming and going inside the shop.
It's not like a pharmacy, but more like a food stall.
"This pharmacy is doing great business!"
Ginger stepped inside, and Song Jiuyuan followed closely behind her. Their unusual auras quickly caught the shopkeeper's attention.
The shopkeeper, busy dispensing medicine, handed his current tasks to the clerk. He then walked over with a smile in his eyes and a twinkle in his brow.
"What can I get for you"
"Chinese Money Plant."
Ginger went straight to the point and naturally didn't miss the surprise in the shopkeeper's eyes. He smiled at Ginger.
"I'm so sorry, we don't have Clematis in our pharmacy."
We can offer double the price.
Song Jiubian felt that anything in the world that could be solved with silver wasn't a real problem; the troublesome things were those that money couldn't buy.
"Just like the shopkeeper at this moment, he still shook his head. “I’m really sorry, our pharmacy truly doesn’t have Luo Shi Teng.”
"We know that."
Ginger pulled Song Jiubian, who was still wanting to say something, out of the apothecary.
She simply took a room at the inn across the street, looking at the bustling pharmacy opposite. Song Jiubian spoke with conviction.
"The shopkeeper must know something."
"But the person isn't willing to sell us the rattan vine. We can't force them."
Ginger helplessly spread her hands, "If this were the private property of Emperor Dog or the Sixth Prince, I'd just take it all."
A stranger, ginger doesn't want to play that game either.
"I'll go for a walk, you stay here at the inn and have a good rest."
Song Jiu-yuan was going to visit an old friend. Jiang Wan didn't object; she sat alone in the inn, studying a recipe.
As soon as the medicinal herbs are in place, she will be able to draw out the parasites from Song Jiuli and their bodies.
Meanwhile, another wave of people arrived at Clear Water City. Hua Xiao carefully packed up the Sixth Prince's luggage.
And the Sixth Prince sat there with a twisted face, with Ling beside him.
“Poria, are you sure that just getting the Lian Shi Teng will heal my body”
Over the past two days, his relationship with Huaxiao has eased, and as a result, he found that his side was actually useless!
He subconsciously thought of the antidote pill he had received from Jiang Wan before, but this antidote pill wasn't just for him.
Even Wen Ru Yu had eaten it, but other people didn't have these symptoms.
...to the point where he began to question his life!
"Yes, Your Highness, Lingzhi will help you."
Poria immediately nodded, although this was something she had seen in a medical book, she was incredibly confident.
"Alright, I'll have someone find the Lian Shi Teng!"
The Sixth Prince's eyes were resolute. For his future, he had to get the Lian Shi Teng.
He knew in his heart that the Emperor valued him, but he would never value a prince who couldn't bear children!
"Your Highness, rest assured. You are a blessed person and will surely recover."
Huāxiǎo clutched the Sixth Prince's hand, her face filled with sorrow. Her heart was heavy with despair.
She never expected that the man she had carefully chosen would be incapable, but... this is only temporary.
The sixth prince is the future emperor, she's supposed to give birth to the next emperor!
"Well."
The Sixth Prince's attitude towards Hua Xiao had grown noticeably colder. He always felt that ever since he met Hua Xiao, things had been going especially poorly for him.
It seems that Father was right, the position of a prince's consort must be held by a legitimate daughter from a prestigious family. There is some reason to the saying "a match made in heaven."
When dawn arrived, Hu Xiao also noticed that the Sixth Prince's attitude had changed again. She strained a smile.
"Your Highness, this is a new snack made by Huāxiǎo. Please try it"
She took out snacks from the package to please the Sixth Prince. Ling was on the side reading a book, showing no intention of coming forward.
The Sixth Prince glanced at Ling, thinking to himself that while he had once thought Hua Xiao was quite good, compared to Ling, she paled in comparison.
……
Ginger waited at the inn for a while. She resisted going to her space, thankfully Song Jiubian returned rather quickly.
"Lóshíténg should be in the Shu family's hands."
Is Dejitang Shu's family
Ginger easily figured out the key, presumably the shopkeeper of Dejitanghui had seen Lian Shi Teng before.
"That's right."
Song Jiuyuan's expression was not good. "Luoshi Teng is the dowry that the Shu family prepared for Miss Shu."
"Pfft..."
While Ginger was drinking water, she almost spat it out. She rubbed her temples, her head aching.
"Aren't you the Miss Shu from the martial arts competition"
It was her.
Song Jiubian's expression was solemn. He pondered for a moment and made a gesture. Song Yi appeared.
"You... , go to the martial arts competition tomorrow."
Song Yi: ...
"Poof..."
Ginger burst into laughter, "Think it through carefully! If you take someone's Lianwan vine, you have to marry them."
"Master, what if Song Yi sneaks into the Shu residence tonight..."
Song Yi doesn't want to marry just anyone, he still has to help his master achieve great things.
"No."
Song Jiubian had a headache and could only say, "Let's see what happens tomorrow."
"That'll work."
"Ginger stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "What if the other party goes back on their word and doesn't give the dowry You can't lose both the wife and your soldiers."
Song Jiubian: ...
Although she said so, at midnight Ginger quietly got up and decided to pay a visit to the Shu Mansion under cover of darkness.
As soon as I stepped onto the rooftop, I came face to face with Song Jiubian, who wore a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Wanni, where are you going so late"
"Just... stretch your muscles."
Ginger stretched languidly and settled down on the roof. "Why aren't you asleep yet"
"Can't sleep."
Song Jiu Yuan sat beside Jiang Wan, his dark eyes gazing at the pitch-black sky.
"If they can't get the Luo Shi Teng, will those living people die"
"Yes."
Ginger's answer was very certain, "The loquat fruit is a change that occurs after the body has died."
Others were infected after being bitten by him. After being bitten, they lost their sense of taste and refused to eat or drink.
Gradually, they will lose their five senses as humans. At that point, they will be no different from the living dead.
"Do you think this was made by someone"
Song Jiubian subconsciously thought of the sixth prince, but...the sixth prince didn't have this ability.
But it is not ruled out that he has also taken in other capable individuals.
"I don't know."
Jiang Wan helplessly spread his hands and decided to give up on visiting tonight. "Rest early and try to get the Lóshí Vine tomorrow."
"OK."
Song Jiubian slept next door, Jiang Wan didn't go out again and rested well for the night. Early in the morning, she called Song Jiubian to the place where the martial arts competition was held.
It is said that in Xishi, when Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan went there, many people had already rushed towards that direction.
Although Miss Shu may not be conventionally beautiful, who wouldn't want to be the son-in-law of the Shu family and ride the wave of their success!
"Come on, I can't eat with that face staring at me."
Think about Dejitang, Shujia is her only daughter, and after that, Dejitang will all be hers.
"Looks aren't everything."
"....."
Listening to everyone's words, Jiang Wan felt a surge of curiosity. This Miss Shu seemed to be a contradictory person.
At first, she didn't know why everyone was so conflicted until she arrived at the martial arts arena.
Looking at Miss Shentu on stage, Jiang Wan finally understood why the Shentu family would use the Lian Shi Teng as a dowry.I want to live for myself!"Ginger took a sip of water. "So when we get to the place of exile, let's part ways. I also want to try out life in freedom."Hearing her repeatedly say the words "divorce," S...
