Chapter 658: Schemes and Stratagems 10

But now it was pitch black, darker than the night of the first day of the lunar month, like a flatbread.

The things he spat out emitted a putrid stench, making people dizzy.

Su Jingyu stared blankly at Su Zian, then rolled his eyes and fainted again.

Su Zian was extremely surprised: "Someone, quickly go invite Pharmacist Leng! Hurry!"

“Master, Pharmacist Leng… he’s not easy to invite,” the butler, who had rushed over, said with a hesitant expression.

“Idiot! If you can’t invite him, someone else can! Quickly call Su Xi, quickly, have Su Xi go invite him!” Su Zian still remembered that Pharmacist Leng held Su Xi in high regard; as long as she went, he would surely come.

Su Xi was pulled out of bed by her Wet Nurse, her eyes hazy, very puzzled: “Wet Nurse, you said Pharmacist Leng thinks highly of me?”

The Wet Nurse was beaming: “Yes, that’s what the Master said, that the Fifth Young Miss can invite him with just a word. Come, Young Miss, put on your clothes.”

Su Xi still found it incredible: “But I don’t even know who Pharmacist Leng is… how can I invite him?”

This was the truth, but no one would believe it.

The Wet Nurse smiled and said: “Is Fifth Young Miss still half-asleep? It’s spread throughout the residence that Pharmacist Leng’s arrival last night was all thanks to Fifth Young Miss.”

“My credit?” Su Xi pointed to her nose.

“Yes, it’s all Fifth Young Miss’s credit, otherwise how could Pharmacist Leng possibly come to our residence? Oh, and according to the servants who overheard, Pharmacist Leng even warned the Master not to treat you poorly.

“Ah?” Su Xi’s large eyes were wide, filled with confusion, but soon, a spark of brilliance appeared within that confusion, “Is this really true? Am I not dreaming?”

“This is naturally true! Come, Young Miss, quickly wash up, Eldest Young Master’s condition is very serious.”

Su Xi was half-believing, half-doubting: “Alright then, I’ll make a trip to the Leng Residence, but if I can’t invite him, don’t blame me.”

Su Xi washed and dressed, then hurried towards the Leng Residence.

As her carriage arrived at the Leng Residence, she saw a spirited old man emerge from the gate.

A crowd of people knelt on the ground at the entrance, and upon seeing him, they all excitedly cried out: “Pharmacist Leng, Pharmacist Leng, save us!”

But Pharmacist Leng didn't spare them a glance, hurrying past without stopping.

His face was covered in frost, his brows like congealed ice, making him seem to be in a very bad mood.

“Leng…” Su Xi’s heart was uneasy, and she nervously walked up to salute Pharmacist Leng.

Pharmacist Leng saw the carriage beside her and his sharp gaze swept over her: “Young Miss Su?”

“En! This humble girl is Su Xi, the fifth in my family. Pharmacist Leng, my brother…” Su Xi’s words were cut short.

Pharmacist Leng waved his hand: “Get in the carriage, let’s go.”

With that, he jumped into the Su Residence’s carriage without another word.

“Gah?” Su Xi was completely stunned.

Didn't they say Pharmacist Leng was arrogant and overbearing? Didn't they say Pharmacist Leng regarded human lives as grass? Didn't they say Pharmacist Leng was very, very, very difficult to invite?

She hadn't even said anything yet, and Pharmacist Leng had already jumped into the Su Residence's carriage?

Su Xi initially suspected that this Pharmacist Leng was fake, but with so many people kneeling on the ground begging him for help, how could he be fake?

“Still not getting in the carriage?” Pharmacist Leng’s authoritative voice came.

“Coming, coming.” Su Xi quickly lifted her skirt and excitedly jumped into the carriage.

The Wet Nurse really hadn't lied to her; Pharmacist Leng truly regarded her differently!
