Wealth and glory seek stability

Jian Xi pointed at Wu Zhuo behind her and said, "See? He is a genuine witch doctor from the Wu clan. He was specially given to me by the Empress to accompany me and take care of me. You should be able to believe what he says, right?" After saying that, she motioned for Wu Zhuo to say a few words.

Wu Zhuo pursed his lips and took out a black token from his bosom, on which was inlaid a big Chinese character "Wu" with a green gem.

"He's a witch doctor, a real witch doctor!" The doctor the old woman invited was obviously an expert.

The biggest dream of the doctor of the Xuanwu Dynasty was to join the witch doctor tribe and learn the art of witch medicine. However, he was dull and could not pass the witch tribe's examination.

Qingzhuzui was half-believing and half-doubting, but he still took the medicine in the broken porcelain bowl that Mo Chuan brought to him.

I accidentally pulled my lower body and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

After the servants had all drunk the medicine, Qingzhuzui barely stood up with the help of everyone, but he could not hide that sinister look in his eyes.

Jian Xi raised one corner of her lips and walked to the servant with a stick in her hand.

Although she was petite, the arrogance in her eyes made everyone break into cold sweats.

Jian Xi stretched out the stick and pointed at Qingzhuzui's nose. "I am magnanimous for letting you go today, not because I am afraid of you. If you can't control your mouth when you go back, even if I die, I will find a way to make sure that everyone in Qingzhufang is wiped out. Do you understand?"

Qingzhuzui was so shocked that he nodded unconsciously.

Jian Xi directly spat out one word: "Get lost!"

The servants knew that their master couldn't lose face, so they apologized quickly, "Yes, yes, yes."

He found a piece of wood directly from behind the old woman's house, carried Qingzhu and left drunkenly.

By the way, he also took the old doctor away.

The old woman looked guilty, "I'm so sorry, everyone. Young Master Qingzhu has been looking for new species for making wine recently. He has searched all the new and exotic plants in Kecheng for the wine tasting conference in a month. It's all my fault for causing trouble for you."

Jian Xi knew the reason and still sighed.

It was obviously possible that they had implicated the old woman.

If they hadn't asked to buy the wheat ears first, Qing Zhuzui might have taken their fancy to them and taken them away directly, without causing trouble for the old woman.

Seeing the old lady opposite her obviously trembling with fear, Jian Xi said, "Don't blame you, it's my fault."

He is afraid of the wrath of those in higher positions, so he can only take all the blame on himself, hoping that the other party will let him go because he is sensible. He is a pitiful person.

The old woman nodded when she heard this, but she was shocked to think that the doctor she had worked so hard to invite was so easily called away by Qingzhuzui.

She had given all her money to the doctor and she had no way to hire another one.

I couldn't help but feel sad, and walked towards the hut step by step in despair and dejection.

Jian Xi looked at the old woman's back, which was as shaky as a withered tree. It seemed as if she was about to fall into the abyss at any moment.

"Wu Zhuo, do you know how to treat leprosy?"

Wu Zhuo nodded when he heard this. Now he didn't dare to hide his abilities anymore.

Jian Xi's move just now really shocked him.

"In that case, go and take a look."

When the old woman heard this, the light in her eyes revived as if dead ashes.

Her little grandson can still be saved!

"Master witch doctor, please save my grandson. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you to repay you. Even after I die, I will pray to the Eternal Heaven to bless you with a long life."

Wu Zhuo was not a heartless man, especially when he was facing an elder who was purely kind-hearted.

"Mother-in-law, please get up quickly. There are many medicinal herbs in your back mountain, including the leprosy tree. The bark and leaves of the leprosy tree can be boiled in water to treat leprosy. Why didn't the doctor before mention it? The leaves and bark of the leprosy tree are in that pot."

Wu Zhuo pointed at the place in the pot. Mo Chuan had already found a few large leaves and scooped out the medicine from the pot and handed it to Jian Xi and the others.

The old woman should have been happy when she saw the familiar bark and leaves, but she just couldn't be happy.

"So it was this tree. My son and daughter-in-law both died of leprosy. This tree was planted by my old man himself when they got married. He said that the tree would bear fruit when it grew up. Unexpectedly, he was cheated by the merchant who sold the tree. It has not produced any fruit for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, this medicine for curing the disease is right in front of us, but my son and daughter-in-law will never get to wait for it."

The old woman knelt on the ground, no longer having the strength to stand up. Her voice was trembling, and she tried to ask the heavens with all her might.

"This is life!"

Seeing that the old woman was about to faint if she continued like this, Jian Xi quickly picked up a leaf filled with medicine and took the old woman's hand.

"You can't fall down now. There is a little one in the house waiting for you to take care of him. There is ready-made medicine in the back mountain. It should be the Eternal Heaven protecting your little grandson. The Eternal Heaven has not given up on you."

At this moment, all the words of comfort seemed a little pale. Jian Xi only hoped that the old woman could cheer up. After all, the thin body in the room really couldn't stand any more.

When the old woman heard this, it was as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Correct.

She also has little grandchildren waiting for her.

If she couldn't hold on, her poor little grandson would definitely die.

Jian Xi watched the old woman take the leaves from her hand, hold them carefully in her palm, and slowly walk towards the hut.

The thatched cottage is crumbling, but it is the last refuge for the grandmother and granddaughter.

There are so many pitiful people in the world.

She is destined not to help everyone.

He took out two silver ingots from the purse around his waist, a total of twenty taels, and placed them under the stove.

Wu Zhuo was scrubbing the old woman's skin vigorously with the leaves of the leprosy tree in front of the stove and accidentally touched his skin.

Seeing this, Jian Xi didn't say anything.

Wu Zhuo was right to protect himself.

Bai Zhi is a thoughtful person. Although Guo Xiu has taught her that a doctor should be like a loving parent, Guo Xiu also said that this kindness can only be achieved under the premise of protecting herself.

She did not ignorantly let Jian Xi take care of the poor grandmother and granddaughter. The money Jian Xi left behind was enough for them to live frugally for a few years.

Station.

Mai Mu's men had been waiting for two hours.

As the highest-ranking official alive, Qi Si took on the responsibility of hosting the guests.

"Please wait a moment, my master will be back soon."

The man sent by the city lord was none other than his most trusted subordinate, Mai Zong.

Mai Zong had been drinking tea for two hours. He was a military general and had a bad temper.

If Maimu had not repeatedly told him to treat the new female official with courtesy before leaving, he would have overturned the table by now.

Mai Zong forced a far-fetched smile on his face, "Don't worry, don't worry. When you are free, come with me to the banquet. Our city lord is waiting for you in the city lord's mansion with good wine and delicious food."

Upon hearing this, Qi Si felt a cold sweat on his forehead.
