Chapter 0036 – Distress (2 / 2)

“It’s just a little white boy, Yanyan won’t like this kind of person.” Ye Yuanhong muttered in a low voice.

Chen Zi’an didn’t hear it, but just respectfully saluted, “Greetings, World Master!”

“No need to be polite.”

Ye Yuanhong casually waved his hand and sat on the soft couch in an informal manner, lifting his chin provocatively, ”I’ve heard of Duke Zhuo Yu’s great name for a long time, and today I finally got to see it. This son has a beast garden, specializing in collecting exotic beasts. Recently, a batch of leopards have come in, with shiny fur and extraordinary courage. I don’t know if Mr. Zhuo Yu can dare to accompany this son to have a look?”

Chen Zi’an naturally detected Ye Yuanhong’s hostility, but he could not think of a reason to push back, and could only say, “The world’s son has invited me, how could I dare to disobey.”

Meanwhile, the Chen Mansion was being decorated with lights and colors in preparation for the second young master’s big day.

Xiang Capsicum unconsciously walked in the Chen Mansion, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were in the big red color of joy, which was very eye-piercing.

There were only eight days left before Chen Zian and the Wang family’s fifth wife’s good day.

She knew that Chen Zian was always going to marry, but she didn’t expect it to be so sudden.

Somehow, her footsteps seemed to be disobedient, and it actually led her to the Pine Breeze Courtyard.

She couldn’t help but think of what Chen Zian had said on New Year’s Eve, “The heart can’t help itself”, and how could she not be the same?

Wang Xuan was napping in front of the courtyard, when he saw Xiang Capsicum, he hurriedly greeted, “Sister Xiang Capsicum, you’re here!”

Xiang Capsicum couldn’t help but glance into the courtyard, but he didn’t see Chen Zian.

“The second young master has gone to the Su Wang Mansion! What does sister want with him?”

Xiang Capsicum hastily shook her head, just wanting to avoid suspicion and leave, but she heard Wang Xuan anxiously say, “Speaking of which, the second young master has asked me to follow the Wang family’s Wu Niang in the past couple of days, and I’ve transcribed some of the prescriptions that her sidekick has grabbed, but I haven’t yet looked for someone to take a closer look at them. I’ve heard that Sister Xiang Capsicum you also know about medicine, if you have time, why don’t you help us take a look first?”

Hearing that it was about the future second young grandma, Xiang Capsicum was also energized and hurriedly answered, “The eldest young master went with the old master to the old house in Ningyuan to visit relatives, the slave girl is free, but I am not well educated and only dare to give it a try.”

Wang Xuan responded of his own accord and hurriedly brought Xiang Capsicum inside Chen Zian’s study.

The scent of Chen Zian was everywhere in the study, making Fragrant Capsicum more or less uncomfortable.

She settled her mind and went through the scattered dozens of herbs recorded on those oiled papers: wolfberry, scutellaria, saxifrage, chuanxiong, agaricus ……

“What’s going on, these herbs, some of them even have conflicting medicinal properties?”

Fragrant Capsicum frowned and carefully flipped back and forth again, when a sudden flash of light occurred.

She shuddered as she pieced together the scattered remedies into two prescriptions and took a big breath of air, sure enough!

A sheet of ginseng, atractylodes, and eucommia, supplemented by other warming and nourishing herbs, is clearly designed to preserve the fetus and replenish qi.

The other contains ingredients such as peach kernel, safflower and hyssop to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and if a few more herbs are added, it is actually a prescription for abortion!

“Wangxuan! Did you just say that this is the Wang family’s Fifth Mother’s prescription? What comes before and what comes after?”

Wang Xuan hurriedly examined it, picking out a few fragments of prescriptions, all of which originated from the medicinal case that the magpie had prescribed and captured at least a week ago, and which he had secretly copied from, so the record was incomplete.

Fragrant Capsicum took a closer look at the very herbs that made up that abortion prescription.

Instead, the herbs that make up this birth-preserving formula have been in the medicine case for the last few days!

Xiang Capsicum’s heart poofed as she finally realized why the Wang family was so eager to marry their daughter!

She stood up prancingly and said sharply, “Wangxuan, quickly go find the second young master–“

Just then, the concierge on duty today ran in in a panic and shouted, “It’s not good! The people from the Su Wang Mansion have sent word that the second young master’s leg was bitten off by a leopard in the Su Wang Mansion, and it looks like he’s going to die!”

Xiang Capsicum’s face instantly turned as white as paper, and the prescription in her hand slipped in her trembling, scattering all over the floor.
