The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

"Shopkeeper, you are very fair. I am very satisfied with the price! But I have something better and I want to show you something!" After Wang Xinyao finished speaking, she took out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from the bottom of the bag!

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he hurried forward to take a closer look.

"This... this is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!" The shopkeeper widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Wang Xinyao smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Wu has a keen eye. This is indeed a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. I wonder how much you are willing to pay?"

Shopkeeper Wu took a deep breath, collected himself, and said, "Treasures like these are priceless and hard to come by. How much do you want to sell them for, Miss Wang?"

"I trust the shopkeeper. Just name the price!" Wang Xinyao still gave the decision-making power to the shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a moment, then said, "Miss Wang, the price of this Ganoderma is inestimable, but my clinic is too small, and the price I can afford right now is only two thousand taels. If you take it to the county town or the capital, you might be able to sell it for a higher price!"

Wang Xinyao was shocked upon hearing this; the price far exceeded her expectations. She had initially felt she owed Wu Yuanwai a favor by accepting his services, but now it seemed she was paying with her own money. Fortunately, Wu Mingjun had only used less than half of the Ganoderma.

"Ms. Wang, this price is already the highest I can offer. After all, this is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a rare treasure. Alas, it is only because my small clinic is too limited to raise the price any further!" After saying this, he shook his head gently, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Wang Xinyao nodded gently. "Okay, Shopkeeper Wu, if that's the case, I'll sell it to you for two thousand taels of silver. I don't want to run around looking for a buyer anymore, it would save me the trouble!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu immediately smiled happily and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, Miss Wang is really straightforward! Then let's make the deal right away!" As he said that, he asked the clerk to prepare the silver and completed the transaction with Wang Xinyao.

The next morning, County Magistrate Luo Qing arrived!

Wang Xinyao was very surprised. After all, the start time could be announced by just sending someone, so why did the county magistrate have to be there in person?

As soon as the two entered the hall, Luo Qing sat down without hesitation and said, "Quick, quick, pour me some tea. I'm so thirsty!"

Although it doesn't usually snow in the south in December, it's still quite cold, and the need for water in winter isn't so great as to cause thirst. Wang Xinyao knew the answer well, thinking, "This foodie is just here to eat my food!"

Despite this, Wang Xinyao still gave him some chestnuts!

Just as Luo Qing was enjoying his meal, a furious voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Luo Qing, don't hide anymore. I already know you're in there! I'm telling you, I'm under orders to protect your safety. You must not leave my sight!"

As soon as the voice fell, a girl in red clothes holding a sword entered the yard. This person was Ouyang Ping, and she was followed by four girls holding swords in the same clothes!

When Luo Qing heard the sound, he was immediately frightened and his body trembled. A chestnut got stuck in his throat and it became difficult for him to breathe.

A slight, suppressed, labored breathing sound reached Wang Xinyao's ears. Although subtle, it successfully caught her attention. Wang Xinyao had been looking out the courtyard when the sudden, unusual sound made her alert.

When she looked toward the source of the sound, she saw Luo Qing leaning forward slightly, one hand clutching his throat tightly, a look of pain and terror on his face. Wang Xinyao's heart tightened, and she immediately realized something was wrong. Luo Qing seemed to have accidentally lodged a chestnut in his trachea! This situation was extremely dangerous, and if not addressed promptly, the consequences could be disastrous.

Time was running out, leaving Wang Xinyao no room for hesitation. She rushed to Luo Qing's side and, without hesitation, wrapped her arms around his waist. Then, following the Heimlich maneuver, which she had memorized by heart, she began to perform emergency rescue on him.

At this moment, Ouyang Ping stepped into the hall and was stunned by the scene before her. She saw Wang Xinyao hugging Luo Qing's back tightly, and the two of them looked quite intimate.

Ouyang Ping's face instantly darkened, her eyes blazing with rage until they turned red. She demanded, "What are you doing?" The anger and confusion in her voice surged like a torrent, rushing towards the two men desperately trying to rescue her.

Seeing that Wang Xinyao did not respond, Ouyang Ping shouted again: "What are you doing? Let go quickly!" Her voice echoed in the empty hall, full of questioning and accusations.

"Shut up!" Wang Xinyao shouted angrily, but did not stop what she was doing, and concentrated on giving first aid to Luo Qing.

At this time, Ouyang Ping also discovered something was wrong!

Finally, with Wang Xinyao's continuous efforts, Luo Qing successfully spit out the chestnut stuck in his throat.

"Cough... cough..." Luo Qing gasped heavily and leaned weakly on the chair.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ping rushed forward with a sword in hand, pointing the tip of the sword at Wang Xinyao, and demanded, "What did you do to Lord Luo? Why are you holding him?"

Wang Xinyao quickly explained: "I was just saving him. He had a chestnut stuck in his throat."

Ouyang Ping looked at Luo Qing and Wang Xinyao doubtfully, and finally put away her sword.

At this time, Luo Qing had regained some strength. He said to Wang Xinyao gratefully, "Thank you Miss Wang for saving me. Otherwise, I would be dead today."

Wang Xinyao smiled and shook her head, indicating that you're welcome.

Luo Qing took a sip of tea, and when he was back to normal, he shouted to Ouyang Ping, "Please don't follow me anymore. You almost killed me today!"

"I harmed you? How could I harm you?" Ouyang Ping said angrily: "Tell me quickly, who is she? Is it because of her that you don't marry me?" After saying this, Ouyang Ping's eyes turned red!

"Miss, you misunderstood..." Wang Xinyao was about to explain when she was interrupted by Ouyang Ping again!

"Shut up, you have no right to speak here!" Then she angrily scolded Luo Qing: "Tell me, who is she? Why is she hugging you? Because of this vixen, you didn't even go back to Beijing? Is it just because she's pretty?"

"Stop being unreasonable!" Luo Qing stood up and yelled at Ouyang Ping, "She's my savior. I won't allow you to say that about her. Also, my decision not to return to Beijing has nothing to do with her. It's my own fault."

Luo Qing's roar made Ouyang Ping stunned for a moment. She had never seen Luo Qing so fierce to her, and he had always been the only one who was afraid of her.
