Agarwood Pavilion, backyard.Su Jin, with nothing to do, was concocting medicine to pass the time. Xingxing was beside her, looking downcast. Her delicate face was full of guilt. She had caused the young lady a significant financial loss. At least ten thousand taels were lost. After the incident at Prince Yu Mansion, upon returning, Xingxing sought the cause of her failure. Indeed, she found it. Since Su Jin didn’t give her poison, she decided to concoct it herself, as it seemed not too difficult. But a good memory is not as reliable as taking notes, so Xingxing wrote down the steps. That day during concoction, she followed her notes to grab the medicine. Yes. The note was on the table, and a gust of wind flipped it over a page. Xingxing didn’t notice and mixed up two types of poisonous substances. Thus, half of the poison she concocted used ingredients that caused redness and swelling, while the other half used itching ingredients. When mixed together, it resulted in both redness and swelling. The explosiveness of the poison doubled, but its lasting effect was insufficient; without treatment, it would subside in seven or eight days. Originally, only Su Jin could provide the antidote for her poison. Selling the antidote would surely bring income. Now that no one came to buy the antidote, it was naturally a financial loss. Although Su Jin didn’t mind, Xingxing felt guilty in her heart. At the entrance to the backyard. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N0velFire.ɴet The maid Bizu was sitting on a stone making tassels. Previously, she thought guarding the back door was not a good task, but now she dearly loved it. Because few people entered the backyard, it wasn’t as exhausting, and she could make some tassels to earn pocket money. She used to do it secretly; who knew that yesterday she was so absorbed and got caught by Su Jin. Bizu, frightened, turned pale and knelt down to admit her mistake with a thud, yet Su Jin didn’t blame her but instead praised her tassel work as beautiful. Bizu seized the opportunity to gift the finished tassel to Su Jin. Su Jin accepted the tassel and rewarded her with a pair of Clove Silver Earrings, making the maids and matrons of Agarwood Pavilion extremely envious. You should know that since their Eldest Young Madam married into Agarwood Pavilion, very few maids have ever spoken to her, let alone received any rewards. In the maids’ hearts, Su Jin had always been seen as fierce and domineering, but this act of kindness softened her image slightly. The maids busily carried on with their work joyfully. From afar, a little maid hurried over, saying, "Bizu, Doctor Li has arrived and says he wants to see the Eldest Young Madam." These days, Doctor Li often came to Agarwood Pavilion. Since he came to see Su Jin, the maids dared not neglect him. Bizu carefully put down her tassel work and cautiously opened the door to the backyard. But no matter how careful she was, she couldn’t guard against Little Black who was lying in wait. As Bizu approached, Little Black lunged forward, giving her a startle. Before she could react, Little Black was already gone. Bizu cried out in fright, "The Eldest Young Madam’s dog has run away!" "Catch it quickly!" The maids, "..." The Eldest Young Madam’s dog dared to bite even Princess Nanzhang. Who among them would dare to stop it? Bizu ran to chase, but Little Black had already disappeared in the distance. Bizu was so anxious she started crying, not knowing what to do. A little maid said, "Quickly report to the Eldest Young Madam, Doctor Li is here, and the dog has run away." Inside the bamboo house, Su Jin was pounding medicine. Bizu ran up the steps, crying, "Eldest Young Madam, Doctor Li is here to see you." "If Doctor Li is here, he’s here; why are you crying," said Xingxing. "As I came in, Little Black ran past my feet," Bizu said anxiously. Su Jin felt a headache coming on. Little Black had been waiting at the courtyard gate, clearly wanting to leave. After waiting for two days, he finally got the chance, and now who knows where he’s off to enjoy himself. "Xingxing, go quickly and find Little Black," Su Jin said. Xingxing nodded repeatedly. Su Jin put down her work and got up to leave. As she stepped out into the side courtyard, she saw Doctor Li approaching. Su Jin was indeed a bit curious about why Doctor Li had come. Because Doctor Li had already been there in the morning. The courtyard wasn’t suitable for conversation, so Su Jin invited him to the main hall to speak. "What brings Doctor Li here now?" Su Jin asked. Doctor Li handed a piece of paper to Su Jin. Su Jin unfolded it. There were no words on the paper, but there were traces of medicine on it. Su Jin sniffed it, her brows furrowing. This pill was one she had concocted for Old Duke Chong, so how did it end up in Doctor Li’s hands? "What is this medicine?" Su Jin asked. Doctor Li said, "Today, I went to Zhou’s Pharmacy to ask for some herb materials. Coincidentally, a servant brought a pill for Doctor Zhou to examine. I looked at the pill and found it good and seemingly for Old Duke Chong, which aroused my suspicion." "After the servant left, I had a clerk follow him, and the servant entered Duke Chong’s Mansion." Doctor Li was a smart person. A servant from Duke Chong’s Mansion took the pill, which Old Duke Chong used, for examination. This clearly indicated suspicion of someone secretly treating Old Duke Chong behind the scenes. He was still learning the golden needle technique, and the Eldest Young Madam had written down the key points of using the needle for him to practice. In a few days, once he was proficient, he would detoxify Old Duke Chong. If Duke Chong became suspicious, not only would Old Duke Chong’s treatment be hindered, but he might also face life-threatening danger. Su Jin felt a headache coming on. Although the Emperor had sent someone to ensure Old Duke Chong’s safety, he couldn’t drive away all of Duke Chong’s people, as Old Duke Chong was, after all, his father. Su Jin looked at Doctor Li and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li, for coming to inform me of this matter. I will think of a way to resolve this problem." Su Jin thanked him, leaving Doctor Li a bit at a loss. He became even more confused. The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion was making every effort to save Old Duke Chong. Yet, Duke Chong secretly examined the medicine that Old Duke Chong took. Both behaved strangely. Zilan Garden. Xie Jinyu was sitting on a small couch, crying. The County Princess position within reach was gone, how could she not be heartbroken? Xie Jinxiu was comforting her beside her. Shangguan Feng’er was also there. Princess Nanzhang went to Duke Chong’s Mansion to find out from Duke Chong what had happened at Marquis Dongxiang’s Mansion, so Shangguan Feng’er came along to visit Xie Jinyu. On the surface, the two people consoled Xie Jinyu not to be angry, but in their hearts, they were quite pleased. If it were just an empty County Princess title, Shangguan Feng’er wouldn’t envy it at all; her father was Duke Chong, and wherever she went, who dared not to curry favor with her? To be frank, except for that unruly female bandit, even Princess Shouning didn’t dare speak loudly to her in the entire Capital City. But, if it were a substantive County Princess title with fiefdom, that would be a different story. The fact that such a County Princess position vanished was exactly what they hoped for, as they were destined not to have it. Moreover, knowing Xie Jinyu had a boastful nature, if she genuinely got a County Princess title, wouldn’t she flaunt it before them? It was just as well. Of course, the joy stayed hidden in their hearts, showing none of it on their faces. "Elder sister, don’t be sad, the Empress Dowager really cares about you. Knowing you’ve been wronged, she will surely think of a way to have the Emperor bestow the County Princess title upon you," Xie Jinxiu consoled. "It’s not that easy," Xie Jinyu said, reluctant. "When cousin is made the Crown Prince and eventually ascends to the throne as Emperor, let alone a small County Princess, he can even confer you as a Commandery Princess or a Princess if he wishes," Shangguan Feng’er said. Shangguan Feng’er painted a grand picture, sprinkled with sesame seeds, fragrant and enticing, perfectly suiting Xie Jinyu’s taste. Her tears gradually ceased.
