Chapter 655: Schemes and Intrigues 7

Madam Su's body trembled, not daring to look at Pharmacist Leng again.

Su Zian, however, completely failed to notice his wife's abnormality. He looked at the Medicinal Pill, a flicker of excitement crossing his expression: "This is…"

"An Advanced Medicinal Pill, you don't need to know it." Pharmacist Leng casually tossed the Medicinal Pill into Su Zian's arms and turned to leave.

Su Zian followed attentively: "The night is late and the light is poor. Why doesn't Pharmacist Leng stay at the Su Residence? Tomorrow…"

Pharmacist Leng glanced at him sideways and left behind a cryptic sentence: "No matter how good the light is, it's useless to a blind man."

After saying this, he turned, boarded his carriage, and returned to his manor.

Leaving only Su Zian standing there, dazed and lost.

He scratched his head in confusion. What did Pharmacist Leng mean by that?

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand, so he could only drop it.

Returning to the courtyard, after Su Jingyu took the Medicinal Pill left by Pharmacist Leng, his complexion indeed became ruddy and lustrous, no longer deathly pale as before.

Su Zian was full of relief: "Pharmacist Leng is truly worthy of being Pharmacist Leng. This single Medicinal Pill took effect immediately. Surely Jingyu will wake up soon."

Looking at Su Jingyu on the bed, whose complexion had returned to a healthy red, Madam Su's fists at her sides clenched tightly.

Now that Pharmacist Leng had intervened, what should she do?

"My Lord, the night is late, and you still have the morning court session tomorrow. Go and rest quickly; I will take care of things here," Madam Su forced a smile onto her Face.

Su Zian was indeed somewhat tired after today's worry and anxiety.

He thought of the recent events in court regarding the Yaochi Li Family; those officials were deliberately opposing him to curry favor with the Yaochi Li Family, causing him endless annoyance.

This was all because of Su Luo.

Sometimes he really suspected that this daughter had come to collect a debt from him in this lifetime, making him lose Face repeatedly.

Su Zian gave a faint hum: "Then I'll leave Jingyu in your care. Look after him well, and make sure no more mishaps occur."

"Jingyu is my son, how could I not take good care of him? My Lord, please go quickly," Madam Su sent Su Zian off with a smile.

After Su Zian left.

The room was silent.

Slowly, Madam Su grew tired and began to doze off.

After an unknown amount of time, a dark shadow leaped through the window and stood coldly before Madam Su.

Seeing that figure, Madam Su suddenly jolted awake, "Why have you come?"

The Yaochi Li Family.

Located in the suburbs.

There was no sign of human life for ten miles around, but in the center of this region, a magnificent garden had been built.

Fiery red maple trees were planted throughout the garden. From a distance, they looked like a burning Phoenix flame, giving a strong visual impact.

This was the Yaochi Li Family's garden in the capital. Everything was built according to the preferences of the little princess of Yaochi Palace, the Yaochi Fairy.

Under a maple tree, a table of exquisite food was laid out.

The Yaochi Fairy, Li Aoqiong, and their Second Uncle, Li Yaoxiang.

At this moment, the three were in high spirits, drinking and chatting merrily.

"Aoqiong, you designed this well. Surely that girl will soon be kneeling at our Li Family's doorstep," Li Yaoxiang drank the wine in his cup with satisfaction.

Recalling that day at the Su Residence when Nangong Liuyun had appeared out of nowhere and ruined his plan, the narrow-minded Li Yaoxiang still held a grudge.

Li Aoqiong laughed: "Second Uncle overpraises me! It's simply that the girl overestimated herself; I merely set a small trap."

"Hmph, a mere Stinky Girl dares to oppose the Yaochi Li Family. If we let her off so easily, where would our family's Face be?" Li Yaoxiang snorted coldly.
