She had wasted so much money, and this little dandy had some background. Jing Chunxi felt like a fool for not repaying his kindness, and she didn't want to give him any advantage. If it weren't for the Jing family's status as a criminal, if he were still in the capital, she wouldn't have saved his life unless his parents respectfully brought him 20,000 taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Jing Chunxi gritted his teeth and looked at the little dandy with a face full of resentment.

Although Tao Jin was very weak, he kept holding on to his willpower and didn't let himself fall asleep. So he saw the ugly girl named Xi Jie'er opposite him, who had not given him a good look from the beginning, with an unpredictable face and an angry expression that made her want to chop him into eight pieces.

In the few days he'd known her, the ugly girl's face had been dark one day, then yellow the next, sometimes both, ugly and ugly, often glaring at people with her big, round eyes. Just as Zhi's cherry lips had just pouty, he suddenly felt less ugly: "Well, since she shamelessly lowered her head to help him suck blood and saved him, I'll protect her a little more in the future."

"Over there! Hurry up, hurry up." Until Tang Shuang and Yan Xianwei and his group of people rushed down the riverbed, Tao Jin felt that his original difficulty in breathing and the feeling of being strangled by the neck had gradually subsided.

The calves, which were originally black and purple, gradually turned pale, which was visible to the naked eye. It seemed that the poison was slowly dissipating. Tao Jin knew that he would not die!

County Lieutenant Yan brought five or six of his own officers, and also brought Grandpa Xiaobei with him. Everyone ran without stopping, and it could be seen from a distance that they were out of breath. Grandpa Liu also followed behind with Scarface, but he was only a dozen steps behind them.

Jing Chunxi complained again: "Your life is really valuable, you should at least give me some." Thinking about how many farms she could buy with those ten thousand taels, she became more and more angry. It was because she was smart enough to collect so many things before being exiled, otherwise the ten thousand taels would have cost her life.

"You're ugly and stingy. I don't have much silver with me. This is the only thing I have. It's a reward for you." Something was stuffed into his hand out of the blue. This kind of reward wouldn't be a bad thing. Jing Chunxi picked it up without even looking at it. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, looking like a greedy little money-grubber.

It was a dark green jade pendant, a little green to black, as big as Jing Chunxi's small palm. Jing Chunxi had never seen such quality before. The jade pendant had just left the body of the little dandy and still had a hint of warm body temperature. The jade pendant was very delicate and smooth without a trace of impurities.

Anyway, it was of better quality than the best jade pendant in her mother's dowry. Knowing that it was worth a lot of silver, Jing Chunxi shook the jade pendant in her hand. Her expression finally looked better. Before the officials arrived, she quickly put it in her arms like a kitten that had succeeded in stealing some fish.

If County Magistrate Yan saw this, would he stop the little dandy's foolish behavior? Only when you take the good stuff do you own it.

Looking at the ugly girl and the money-grubber with a cunning look as if she had succeeded in her evil plan, Tao Jin's mouth curled up slightly. He felt very happy for no reason and didn't feel that he was being ripped off at all.

Seeing that Xiaobei's grandfather also came, and even the third uncle came at last, I knew that Jing Changning must have told the officials that Xiaobei's grandfather knew a little about medicine. It seemed that the family still hoped that the little playboy would get better and did not want him to die like this.

Seeing the large pool of black poisonous blood on the ground, everyone's face changed. They guessed that this venomous snake was unusual and must be very poisonous.

Grandpa Xiaobei walked forward and saw that Tao Jin's face was not the black color before death. He then looked at his tied calf and did not seem too panicked. Instead, he squatted down and took Tao Jin's pulse first.

"This medicine?"

He took a look at the wound that had been medicated, raised his head, and without looking at anyone else, looked at Jing Chunxi with certainty: "The poison is almost gone. Does Miss Cousin have any good medicine?"

Grandpa Xiaobei's words and actions successfully focused everyone's attention on Jing Chunxi.

Jing Chunxi placed a small, empty porcelain bottle without any markings in Xiaobei's grandfather's hands. "I knew it was the antidote that mother prepared for grandpa and grandma. This kid got it for free."

Then he pretended to hesitate for a moment, looked at County Magistrate Yan, and said, "I heard that it cost a lot of money."

County Lieutenant Yan: ...

Is this little brat trying to blackmail the official?

Little Dandy: This ugly girl is really cruel. Do you know how much my jade pendant is worth? This ugly girl must be out of money, so she wants to squeeze him hard. I'm afraid she wants to earn back the money she needs to live in Lingnan. We can't spoil her.

Grandpa Xiaobei took the medicine bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully, then rubbed the remaining contents on the back of his hand. It was cool and had a faint medicinal aroma, but he couldn't tell what the ingredients were. However, the effect was too fast. Then, tentatively, he asked Jing Chunxi, "This medicine is amazing! Does my cousin have any more?"

Jing Chunxi was still furious. If someone offered her 20,000 taels of silver to buy a bottle, she would nod like chickens pecking at rice and immediately pay out. But do you have the silver? You still want it? What the hell are you thinking?

"Mother said that such a small bottle is the price of an entire shop." After saying this, she looked at the little dandy provocatively, wanting to make him understand that he couldn't buy off her life-saving grace with a jade pendant.

His calf was still very painful and he was grimacing just now, but now Tao Jin couldn't help but curl his lips again when he saw the ugly girl's arrogant and slightly provocative expression.

Finally, Xiaobei's grandfather helped Tao Jin to bandage the wound with white cloth again. County Magistrate Yan bent down and carried the little dandy on his back himself. Seeing that it was almost time, the others had lost interest in fishing and were even more worried that the poisonous snake would come out again, so they all followed them back.

Sanlang picked up Jing Mingzhu who was shivering beside him, and Tangshuang also picked up the cute Qiaoqiao. The two little guys had just learned that someone was bitten by a snake, and they didn't dare to catch fish anymore. They had run over a long time ago, but they didn't dare to say a word, and no one knew where they threw the fish they caught.

Walking at the back of the group, Jing Chunxi felt suffocated as she walked. Seeing her grim expression, Jing Changning couldn't help but touch the top of her head and asked worriedly, "Will removing such a good medicine harm Sister Xi's body? If so, don't save her in the future."

He really cared about what he said. The life of the little playboy was not as important as that of his granddaughter. If he knew that his niece was sucking blood for the little playboy, he would definitely catch her and induce vomiting immediately, and would also ask the little playboy to give an explanation. He would definitely not let him off easily.
