Chapter 209: Brother and Sister
Ye family
"Miss, I have given them the Blood Replenishing Pill and the Essence Nourishing Pill as you instructed, as well as some gold coins and underwear. However, the young master seems to be seriously injured, and the alchemist in the mansion is unable to fully heal him."
Ye Wanqing put down the teacup in her hand and nodded slightly. "Well, just do as you would with the others. As for that young master's illness, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Yes, Miss."
Jiang Xu took out some freshly baked sweet potatoes from the small kitchen and handed one to Ye Wanqing and Ye Jingzhan. "Try them quickly. They're delicious. Eating one in winter is truly the best thing in the world."
Ye Jingzhan's lips curled slightly, "Young Master Jiang has tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but he is interested in this ordinary sweet potato."
"This is not an ordinary sweet potato. This is a sweet potato that I specially planted in the spiritual field. It tastes extremely sweet. Master, please try it."
Ye Wanqing raised an eyebrow and took a nibble. "Not bad, I didn't expect you'd have the leisure to plant sweet potatoes."
"It's not that I have time to spare, I just want to eat. Oh, by the way, Master, I heard you picked up another boy and girl? Um... I heard they are siblings?"
Jiang Xu exhaled softly, and his charming and handsome cheeks turned a little red.
"You are well-informed. I just saw that they were destined to be together. Plus, since today is my birthday and the Ye family warehouse is open, I naturally decided to let them seek temporary shelter at the Ye family."
"Speaking of those two siblings..." Ye Jingzhan's eyes flickered slightly, and the look in his eyes was ambiguous.
"Little sister, although these two siblings are covered in dirt and mud, their aura is extraordinary. Although there is not a trace of spiritual energy in their bodies, they have many scars on their bodies, as if they were fleeing from somewhere."
Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking nonchalant. "Yeah, it does look that way."
Jiang Xu's eyes flickered slightly. After hearing what Ye Jingzhan said, he felt that the sweet potato in his hand no longer smelled good. "Master, what Big Brother Ye said makes sense. If they are really fleeing here, will it have any negative impact on the Ye family if we take them in?"
Ye Wanqing played with the teacup in her hand, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and the look in her eyes was ambiguous.
"The Ye family is a big tree that attracts attention nowadays. Whether those two siblings are there or not, there will be many people secretly watching the Ye family. Let's give the order first. During this period, both the main family and the side branches should act with caution."
At this moment, the housekeeper's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Miss, someone just sent a gift, saying it's for your birthday. It's signed Qian Yi. Do you want it delivered to you?"
Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, "Come in."
Looking at the gift box in the housekeeper's hand, Ye Wanqing's heart moved. She did not open the gift box in front of Ye Jingzhan and Jiang Xu, but just waved her hand and put the gift into the space. She had already guessed what the birthday gift from Qian Yi was.
Sure enough, as soon as the gift box entered the space, Xuan Ming, who was originally sleepy, suddenly brightened up his eyes, flapped his little wings again and again, and flew to the side of the gift box in an instant, his expression full of excitement.
"Master, this is the Xuanming Leaf that I plucked earlier. Master, with this, the beautiful sister who is being nurtured in the green jade water will have a greater chance of regaining consciousness."
Hai Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little curious about the Xuanming leaves in the gift box. "Aren't you the Xuanming grass yourself? Don't you have any Xuanming leaves yet? Why didn't you give such a good thing to my sister earlier?"
Xuan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes wide with anger. "Didn't I take it out for my sister earlier? Do you know that Xuan Ming leaves are very difficult to grow? It takes a thousand years to grow a single leaf. Do you know how heartbroken I was when they were all plucked out last time?"
Hai Li waved his hand, "Oh, I don't know."
"..."
ignorance!
"But with this, the chances of your friend waking up will be greatly increased. Master, leave this Xuanming Leaf to me!"
Ye Wanqing regained consciousness, and seeing that it was getting late, Ye Jingzhan and Jiang Xu left her courtyard.
At this time, on the other side
Chu Guining took the freshly cooked medicine and carefully fed it to Chu Musheng, whose consciousness was a little confused. "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
After taking the pill, Chu Musheng gradually regained some strength and awareness, and he looked around.
"Sister, I'm much better now. The pill I took just now really detoxified most of the poison in my body. Actually, I've always had a question. The name of the young lady from the Ye family is exactly the same as the one from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Do you think it's possible that she is the one?"
Chu Guining's eyes flickered slightly, but he just shook his head lightly, "Okay, don't say anymore. That person's status and strength are extraordinary, how could she appear here? It must be just a matter of having the same name. You just need to remember that she is our benefactor."
Chu Musheng nodded lightly, "Sister, I know, you are right. We have only been off the island once, and we don't even know what that person looks like. We can't just guess someone else's identity."
After settling Chu Musheng down, Chu Guining took out a guzheng engraved with the word "Chu" and saw that it had lost its former brilliance in his hands.
Her mind paused slightly, and she unconsciously plucked its strings lightly. Not only was there no clear sound as before, there wasn't even any sound at all.
Chu Guining's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly placed his head on the konghou. After a moment, he began to sob quietly, "Wuwu, Daddy and Mommy."
……
Second day
The streets are extremely lively
"Hey, have you heard? Isn't there a pill shop in East City? Not only are they expensive, but they also sell rotten pills with impurities."
"Oh, yes, I know that store. I once went to buy something and found out it was a useless pill. I asked the owner to compensate me, but he turned a blind eye and even beat me out. If it weren't for his relatives in the royal family, I would have reported it to the city lord long ago. What's wrong with him?"
"Just this morning, His Majesty the Emperor Ji personally led his guards on a secret patrol and raided the pharmacy. They seized thousands of counterfeit medicines and discovered that the man had committed other heinous crimes. He was beheaded on the spot, and all the members of the royal family who had any connection with him were also executed by His Majesty the Emperor Ji."
"Really? That's great! It really gives us commoners a chance to let go of our anger."
This matter also reached the Ye family. By the time Ye Wanqing learned about it, it was already noon. She was shocked. It seemed that Ji Yufeng was working faster and faster, and his swift and decisive methods were completely different from those in the past.
At this moment, Huan Wu, who was outside the courtyard gate, reported softly, "Miss, the girl from last night is here to visit. She has been waiting for a long time. Do you want to see her?"
