Chapter 56: Mr. Wu presents Zhuangzi with a gift
This free clinic had consumed a great deal of Wang Xinyao's medicinal herbs. Over the next few days, she asked Xie Zhengyi to help recruit workers to build a papermaking workshop. Although her courtyard was large, she didn't want to be disturbed by too many people because of Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Jingyuan. Every day, she spent her days digging for medicinal herbs and searching for walnut trees in the mountains.
For some unknown reason, Wang Xinyao hasn't encountered any dangerous animals in the past few days since the python incident.
"Could it be that the scent of the python's blood has scared away all the animals in this area?" Wang Xinyao muttered to herself, though with a touch of regret. She was eager to test her current strength, especially the power of the eighty-one needles. However, being left alone gave her some peace and quiet. In just a few days, the herbs in her ring had already piled up like a mountain! The only regret was that, while digging for them, she still couldn't find any trace of the walnut tree! But she no longer worried about not being able to cure Mr. Wu's son. Now that she possessed the upgraded version of the Nine-Nine Returning One Acupuncture Technique, she was confident she could cure his dementia. It was just that she was too busy right now. She was busy earning money during the day, and practicing the Nine-Nine Returning One Acupuncture Technique at night. She didn't even have time to check out the pyramids in her space!
She had discovered a pattern, as if it were divine will: every time she saved a life, the ring's space would grant her an unexpected reward. The more powerful the person she saved, the higher her kindness value would be, and the more people she saved, the greater the reward. Therefore, what she longed for most now was medicinal herbs. The spiritual energy here was still bubbling like a spring, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if Zhao Haoxuan and the others came here to cultivate, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort? However, this matter still needed to be discussed with Zhao Haoxuan in the long run.
When Wang Xinyao returned home laden with goods, she saw two luxurious carriages parked in the courtyard. Four uninvited guests sat inside, and Dahua was treating them to tea. When Wang Xinyao entered the courtyard, laden with a large basket of herbs, Wu Yuanwai immediately stood up to greet her. "Miss Wang, you're finally back! We're truly rude to have come uninvited today!"
"No, no, I've been too busy recently and haven't been able to find time to go to your house to treat the young master. I didn't expect that Mr. Wu would bring the young master here in person!" Wang Xinyao was really a little embarrassed. She had received so much money from the Wu family, but she hadn't been there to see him in recent days because she was busy. She bowed and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, it's cold outside, please bring the young master into the house!" This is her God of Wealth, she can't let them catch a cold.
At this time, Wu Mingjun also saw Wang Xinyao and hurriedly shouted to her: "Sister, sister, I want to eat, I want to eat..."
Seeing this tall and handsome boy constantly calling her sister, Wang Xinyao hurriedly took out a few chestnuts from her pocket and handed them to him. Mr. Wu on the side had a helpless look on his face!
As soon as he entered the hall, Mr. Wu began to speak: "Miss Wang, I didn't come here for myself. If my son Mingjun can recover, at my age, it doesn't matter whether I can have children or not!"
"Miss Wang's tea is truly sweet!" Mr. Wu took a sip of his tea and continued, "The person who poisoned us has been found!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Wang Xinyao asked casually. It seemed the wisdom of the ancients was truly not to be underestimated. Someone could plot a poison for ten years, while someone could solve the case in less than a month!
"It was done by my nephew Wu Mingjie and my third concubine. The third concubine's child is my nephew's!" Mentioning this, Wu Yuanwai was both angry and heartbroken: "My eldest brother passed away early. I raised him by my side since he was a child. I never thought that I would raise such an ungrateful person! Not only that, the three child brides I found for Mingjun were all tortured to death by him. He just didn't want others to give birth to my grandchildren. He wanted to occupy my family property. His heart is so vicious! But he is unjust, but I cannot be unkind. After all, he is the child raised by our family and the only blood left by my brother. I didn't hand him over to the government, but sent him to a remote village. I can be considered worthy of my brother's spirit in heaven!"
As expected, sometimes rumors, like rootless duckweed, aren't necessarily true. If the fool's harm was due to the caretaker's mistake, it wasn't his intention. But Wu Mingjie was completely different; he acted intentionally, treating human life as worthless.
When Wang Xinyao heard that the three child brides were tortured to death by Wu Mingjie, her anger instantly surged like a volcano: "He is simply the worst kind of scum. If I meet him again next time, I will not let him go easily!"
Of course, she couldn't say much about Wu Yuanwai's way of dealing with things. After all, the victims were the Wu family, they were a family, and it was difficult for her, an outsider, to express her opinion. From this, it can be seen that although Wu Yuanwai was a ruthless character in some situations, he was also a man who valued friendship and loyalty and was worthy of association.
At this moment, Mr. Wu suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Xinyao. "Miss Wang, I would like my son Mingjun to stay in your house. This way, it will be more convenient for you to treat him! Don't worry, you don't have to worry about his food. I will arrange for a housekeeper and a servant to stay here and take care of his daily life. Moreover, they won't stay here for free. I am willing to give you one hundred taels of silver as rent every month until he recovers! I know this will cause you a lot of inconvenience, so if you agree, I am willing to give you a manor in Zhangjia Village! The manor covers an area of about one hundred acres, and the farmland is all fertile and has produced considerable harvests in previous years!"
"A manor of one hundred acres?" Wang Xinyao couldn't help but stare in amazement. She stood up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, with an expression of disbelief on her face, staring at Mr. Wu.
She muttered to herself, "Zhangjia Village isn't far from here, but it's bigger than Xiejia Village and has a larger population. Compared to Xiejia Village, Zhangjia Village used to be wealthier. It turns out Mr. Wu has a large estate there, so he must need a lot of tenant farmers. Tenants earn a meager income year-round, and while life is hard, they won't starve to death. Even if he hadn't given the estate away, the monthly rent of one hundred taels alone would be truly enticing. I can earn one hundred taels without any work. When this courtyard was first built, it cost less than five hundred taels. Besides, that house with eight entrances and eight exits has about a hundred rooms. I could rent them the space a little further away from the main house, and it wouldn't affect my life at all!"
"That's right, it's exactly one hundred acres! Miss Wang, please look, I have brought the land deeds! As long as you nod, this manor will belong to you immediately!" Although Mr. Wu was reluctant, it was all worth it for his son!
Wang Xinyao had never imagined that Wu Yuanwai's family had such incredible financial resources. Wu Yuanwai offered her such a vast farm without blinking an eye, even presenting the deed with the property, a testament to his sincerity. There were many rice seeds in the space, and she was worried about where to plant them next year. With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, and the Spring Festival just around the corner, this truly was a timely help!
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao immediately said, "Okay, I promise you! The three of you will stay here. I found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum these days, so I am absolutely sure that I can cure Mr. Wu's illness!"
"Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! Did you really find it?" When Mr. Wu saw Wang Xinyao nod and even said she was absolutely sure, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. "Thank God, our Wu family finally has a successor. Thank you, Miss Wang! How much silver does this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum cost?!"
Wang Xinyao shook her head slightly and said, "Mr. Wu, you have already given me a farm, so you don't need to pay for the Ganoderma lucidum. Just consider it a gift from me to Mr. Wu. With this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, I estimate that Mr. Wu will be able to recover as before in half a year at most!" People must not be too greedy. Since you have received such a great favor from Mr. Wu, you should give some return, so that people will not feel that you are insatiable!
"That's great. Miss Wang really has a kind heart." Mr. Wu was grateful and shed tears, bowing to Wang Xinyao repeatedly.
Wang Xinyao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wu, you're too kind. This is a mutually beneficial matter. You don't need to worry about it. I will examine you and Mr. Wu's physical condition to see if acupuncture treatment is appropriate today."
After saying that, Wang Xinyao carefully examined Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu, and found that their conditions were quite stable and acupuncture treatment was feasible.
She took out the silver needles and, with deft technique, gently inserted them into the acupuncture points on Wu's limbs. Then, using her internal energy, she slowly channeled her true Qi into his body, unblocking his meridians like a trickle, harmonizing his Qi and blood. Throughout the treatment, Wang Xinyao was completely absorbed, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead like glittering pearls, yet she never dared to slack off. After a while, the moment the needles were removed, Wu felt a sudden sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body.
However, Wu Mingjun's treatment method was quite different. His injury was to the head, so a few silver needles were simply inserted slowly into acupuncture points. However, because the head is a particularly dangerous area, the acupuncture procedure required extreme caution. A single mistake could cause dementia in a healthy individual, or even death. The moment the needles were removed, Wang Xinyao felt a sense of relief, and Wu Mingjun's eyes briefly cleared.
"Mr. Wu, from now on you only need to follow my prescription for daily conditioning, and your body will be back to normal within a month. As for Madam and the others, you only need to follow the previous method for conditioning. As long as you stop taking the contraceptive soup, pregnancy will not be a problem. As for the young master, the treatment will take a long time, so please be patient!" There was a hint of fatigue in Wang Xinyao's tone. This upgraded version of the Nine-Nine Return Needle Method was indeed very effective, but it did consume a lot of energy.
Mr. Wu was deeply grateful and thanked Wang Xinyao again.
After that, Wang Xinyao got the land deed of the manor signed by Mr. Wu. Then she only needed to go to the county government to go through the document change procedures.
After arranging Wu Mingjun and the other two to stay at Wang Xinyao's residence, Mr. Wu gave the housekeeper a few instructions and then drove home happily.
