Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The news that the Hong Mansion had finally persuaded Jiang Xinxin to come soon reached the ears of those who wanted to know the news. Seeing her aunt's dazed expression, Huo Xiangu could not help but say, "Aunt, Er Yuehong gave up on you not because you were not good enough or because that girl was better than you, but because he needed a woman who was as dependent on him as that girl was. You can't do that, so he won't choose you."

Over the years, Huo Sanniang really couldn't understand why she and Er Yuehong were once considered a famous couple in Changsha City, but Er Yuehong stabbed her in the back so ruthlessly and cruelly.

Because Er Yuehong was with a girl from a noodle stall, not only did she lose her dignity, but she also affected the reputation of the Huo family, so she gave up the position of head of the family in an embarrassed manner, and now she can only live in misery in the shadows of no one!

Seeing hatred and pain creeping onto Huo Sanniang's generous and beautiful face, Huo Xiangu couldn't help but sigh, turned her head to look at the window covered by a layer of gauze, and said faintly: "Aunt, I also fell in love with Wu Laogou, and even told him that even if he married into our Huo family, I would give birth to a few more children and let him choose one with the surname Wu."

Huo Sanniang suddenly turned her head and stared at Huo Xiangu, who smiled slightly bitterly and said, "But he still didn't agree, so I broke up with him."

Huo Sanniang didn't know how to comfort her niece who had grown up under her care and was the head of the family. When she was in trouble, Huo Xiangu breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Aunt, you don't have to think about comforting me. We have all seen the pomp and circumstance of Miss Jiang these days. Even though Miss Jiang's pomp and honor came from the Jiang family behind her, she was able to move among various forces without getting hurt. Isn't that her own means?"

"Miss Jiang is accompanied by two assistants who are no less capable than the Second Master, the Fifth Master, and even the Buddha. Auntie, you can attract Er Yuehong's attention, and I can make Wu Laogou chase after me. These are all our own means and abilities."

"There may only be one Er Yuehong and Wu Laogou in the world, but there are definitely many people who are better than them. My aunt and I are also better than many women. The lack of a good marriage is really nothing."

Huo Xiangu had figured it out long ago, and she came here specially to persuade Huo Xiangu today. If Huo Xiangu still refused to listen and was still fighting for her dying wife Er Yuehong, then don't blame her for sending her to Changsha.

At the Hong Mansion, Jiang Xinxin felt Madam Hong's pulse and said, "Madam Hong will die within three days. She was born with deficiencies and was lonely since childhood. She gave birth to children before she could recover. She already had a lot of deficiencies. Later, she came into contact with something underground, which caused Yin energy to enter her body."

"If she had found someone to remove the Yin Qi in time and taken good care of herself for a few years, she would have been able to become a normal person. But she failed to receive treatment in time, and the Yin Qi gradually entered her lungs and began to consume her vitality."

"If she had been lucky enough to take the elixir at this time, she could have extended her life by 10 to 20 years, but Madam Hong didn't have that chance."

"Madam Red is in so much pain right now because her organs are weak and her vitality is about to disappear. What's more, she has taken a chronic poison such as opium, which has made her already weak body even more dangerous. So now she only has three days at most."

Er Yuehong cried out "Impossible, Impossible" and almost fell down in front of the maid's bed. Zhang Qishan, Yin Xinyue and Jie Jiuke still had their sanity. Zhang Qishan was the first to ask Jiang Xinxin, "Miss Jiang, we spent a lot of money in the capital to get the deer grass. Is it really useless?"

Jie Jiu didn't need to look at Zhang Qishan and Yin Xinyue to see that they were also full of doubts.

Jiang Xinxin explained to everyone: "Deer grass also has to be divided into different types. Generally speaking, the common deer grass is a medicine that can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and stop bleeding, and kill insects and detoxify. The other kind of deer grass with spiritual properties is the magical medicine that is said to be able to revive the dead."

"What you got should be the common ones used for detoxification and insecticide. The spiritual deer grass at the back is probably only one unique one among tens of thousands of ordinary herbs. It is really rare."

"Besides, even if the New Moon Hotel got the spiritual Deer Live Grass at the beginning, if it is not stored properly, the medicinal properties will quickly dissipate and become no different from ordinary herbs."

After these words came out, not only Zhang Qishan and Jie Jiu, but even Yin Xinyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had never seen Er Yuehong get angry, just looking at his current look, if someone with ulterior motives came to stir up trouble in the future, it would be hard to say whether Er Yuehong would be able to remain rational and believe their innocence.

Er Yuehong only got a hidden message from Jiang Xinxin's words. He turned around and asked anxiously, "Miss Jiang, is it true that as long as we get the spiritual herb you mentioned, the girl can be saved?"

Jiang Xinxin shook her head, "It's too late. I have been refusing to come to your clinic to take your pulse because as soon as I entered Changsha City, I saw the deathly aura above your Red Mansion."

As soon as Jie Jiu opened his mouth, he started to ask business: "Second Master, why don't you ask Miss Jiang to take another look at the source of the Yin energy that caused Madam's illness? This thing must be fine if you touch it once or twice, I'm afraid it is something Madam touches frequently."

After being reminded by Jie Jiu, Er Yuehong finally came to his senses. He quickly tried to recall what the thing next to the girl came from underground. You know, he hasn't taken care of the underground matters for more than ten years since he got married to the girl. He had left it all to Chen Pi.

Thinking of this, Er Yuehong remembered that Chen Pi had given the maid an antique hairpin. With trembling hands he went to look for it on the maid's dressing table, and at a glance he saw a hairpin with a jade head and gold inlaid jade with auspicious cloud pattern placed in the most conspicuous place in the dressing box. The jade was stained with blood, and it was bright red and looked very ominous!

Everyone came over to take a look. Even Yin Xinyue, a pure newcomer who had not seen many underground things, could see that there was something wrong with the hairpin. Zhang Qishan had the blood of the Qiongqi, and although he could not repel insects and suppress evil spirits like the Qilin blood, he was more sensitive to things like Yin energy than humans.

Zhang Qishan secretly sighed and said, "Madam's illness is probably caused by this hairpin. It is extremely poisonous. Even if she keeps in contact with it for a long time, I'm afraid that Madam will bleed because of it."

Er Yuehong just thought that all this was ridiculous. Chen Pi saw that the hairpin was simple and elegant, and thought that the girl would definitely like it, so he specially presented it to the girl. But he didn't expect that in the end the girl would actually die in pain because of her apprentice's filial piety!

Yin Xinyue also felt that things in the world are unpredictable. Although she felt that Chen Pi was too cruel and ruthless and did not know how to restrain himself, she also agreed with Chen Pi's respect and love for Er Yuehong and Madam Hong, his master and his wife. She couldn't help but ask Jiang Xinxin for advice: "Miss Jiang, does Madam have any way to alleviate her pain?"

Seeing everyone looking at her again, Jiang Xinxin sighed secretly: "Madam Hong's pain now comes from her heart. The painkillers are no longer effective. The only useful ones are probably the poisons like Hongyanzui or Huayan from the previous court."

Jie Jiu was a good doctor and well-informed. He explained, "This Drunken Beauty or Flowery Beauty is a type of poison that briefly stimulates and burns all vitality, allowing a woman's appearance to become perfect. Then she dies as her vitality runs out. This thing is extremely poisonous. Some even claim to keep a woman's appearance unchanged for a thousand years, which shows how toxic it is."
