Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Xu Mo refused straightforwardly, without any hesitation because of Su Xuqing's identity.

Although Su Xuqing was a little disappointed, she still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since Patriarch Xu is unwilling to give it up, just pretend I never mentioned it. After all, although a 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui is precious, it may not be the only one in the world. I'll ask someone to look for it later."

Seeing that Su Xuqing was so reasonable, Xu Mo stood up and bowed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Princess."

The purpose of this trip had been frustrated, so there was no need for Su Xuqing to stay any longer. After taking a sip of tea, she stood up and said goodbye.

Coming out of the living room, Su Xuqing had just stepped over the threshold when she suddenly smelled a fishy odor. She raised her head and found a haggard woman standing in front of her. Her face was pale, and under her messy hair, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at people, scaring Su Xuqing so much that she almost screamed.

The woman stretched out her skinny finger, pointed at Su Xuqing and said in a hoarse voice: "Husband... who is this person? Are you planning to marry someone else before I die?"

The woman's tone was urgent, her eyes were visibly bloodshot, and she was on the verge of emotional collapse.

"Madam, please don't talk nonsense. This lady is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace. She is here to discuss something."

Xu Mo's face was solemn, and he quickly stepped forward to support the woman.

Su Xuqing took a look at the woman and saw that she was grabbing her hair with both hands. Her sleeves had slipped down, revealing dark blue scars on her arms. There was a fishy odor on the scars, which looked very disgusting.

"You lied to me, you lied to me, you just changed your mind."

The woman's voice began to cry, and she trembled as she said, "The Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace is of a respectable and honorable status. Why would she want to discuss something with you? Tell me quickly! Who is he?"

Xu Mo was worried that his wife would make Su Xuqing angry, so he quickly said, "She is really the Crown Prince's Consort. She came to our house today to ask for a medicinal herb, but I refused."

As he spoke, Xu Mo quickly looked at Su Xuqing and said with a helpless look, "Please forgive me, my wife's name is Su Liu'er. She has been infected with wolfsbane sores recently and her mood is very unstable. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Wolfsbane...

Su Xuqing has read a lot of medical books recently, and the symptoms of wolfsbane quickly emerged in his mind.

The origin and cause of this sore are unknown and it is not contagious. Once it occurs, wolfsbane sore will slowly spread throughout the body and cannot be cured by medicine. Only by neutralizing the toxins of Aconitum with Galaxy Gui and then taking it internally can the spread of wolfsbane sore be suppressed.

However, this method is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease. As time goes by, the patient will eventually become seriously ill and die.

Shennong's Herbal Classic records that the only treatment for this disease is blood transfusion, but this also means using one person's life in exchange for another person's life.

Therefore, the person who wrote the Baicao Jing took the trouble to remind people that this method should not be leaked easily, otherwise those patients suffering from wolfsbane might do something that would disregard human life in order to cure the disease.

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing felt sad. This girl had contracted this disease at such a young age, and she probably didn't have much time left.

"It's okay. When faced with life and death, who can calmly accept their fate? It's normal to lose control of your emotions."

Su Xuqing sighed softly and said, "Goodbye."

"Then I won't send the Crown Princess off."

Xu Mo held Su Liuer's arm and said gently, "Madam, I will help you go back and rest."

Su Xuqing went down the steps and walked out along the bluestone path she had come from. Suddenly, someone came hurriedly towards her from the direction of the door. This person looked to be in his forties, with a serious face and a hint of murderous intent in his every move.

The middle-aged man looked at Su Xuqing, frowned subconsciously, then looked away unnaturally, with a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

Xue Tao keenly sensed a murderous intent. She quickly approached Su Xuqing and looked at the middle-aged man warily.

The two sides passed each other by each other without even having any verbal exchange.

The middle-aged man walked quickly towards Xu Mo, and the latter asked expectantly, "Doctor Zhao, have you found a way to cure my wife?"

Xu Mo didn't say anything, but nodded.

Su Xuqing paused and glanced sideways when Xu Mo was talking. She saw Doctor Zhao nodded and whispered a few words. Then a look of surprise appeared on Xu Mo's face, and even his hands were shaking.

Seeing this, Su Xuqing was immediately filled with doubts...

After leaving the Xu Mansion, Su Xuqing got on the carriage with a heavy heart.

Seeing that Su Xuqing looked unhappy, Yinhuan thought that she was upset because she didn't get the Yinhe Tiangui, so she comforted her: "Madam, if we can't get the herbs, we can look for them again. Don't be too sad."

Su Xuqing shook her head and said slowly: "I'm not worried about this matter... Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it, right?"

Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica is the only copy handed down from generation to generation, left by the Saint of Medicine. When Su Xuqing got it in her previous life, Monk Youfang told her clearly that she was the first generation inheritor of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica...

Later, Su Xuqing specifically asked others, but it seemed that no one knew about Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, a miraculous book that could bring back the dead and turn flesh into bones.

Therefore, Su Xuqing concluded that Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica was indeed a unique copy, and before her, no one else had obtained this book except the wandering monk.

Therefore, the content of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica should not be leaked.

Besides, Su Xuqing had never seen any other medical treatments that treated wolfsbane with blood transfusions...

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing felt much more relieved. Doctor Zhao must have just found another way. Maybe the treatment method was rather horrifying, so Xu Mo showed that expression?

"Go back home."

Su Xuqing called out, and Li Er whipped his horse whip and rushed towards the direction of Zhennan Palace.

Xue Tao sat next to Su Xuqing, feeling as if there were ants crawling around in her heart. The man she had just met in Xu's house made her feel uncomfortable all over.

The Blood Robe Building is an organization of assassins. Although she, the owner of the building, has never killed anyone herself, she has had a lot of contact with those assassins and has become particularly sensitive to the murderous intent in a person.

When Doctor Zhao saw Su Xuqing just now, he definitely wanted to kill her.

"Madam, have you ever seen Doctor Zhao before?"

Su Xuqing shook her head when she heard this. "I've never seen it before. Why are you asking?"

Xue Tao wanted to tell Su Xuqing about her discovery, but she was afraid that she would doubt her, so she could only say vaguely: "Nothing, I just felt that the man's eyes were scary, like he had killed someone..."

As soon as these words came out, Su Xuqing's eyelids twitched rapidly, and an inexplicable emotion was brewing in her heart, just like the feeling of having a nightmare in the middle of the night.

"Something's wrong, go back to Xu Mansion."
