Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 67 The Conditions of Exchange!
"It seems the little girl's memory is indeed not very good! During the day, if it weren't for my help, do you think your scheme would have gone so smoothly? Mu Xin Nuan, you don't really think that the backyard of the Duke of Anguo's mansion is so lax in its defenses, do you?"
The silver-masked youth floated down from the roof beam, then stared intently at Mu Xin Nuan, wanting to see how she would handle this situation.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xin Nuan only paused for a moment before asking directly, "You say you helped me, what proof do you have?"
"Oh? What? You don't know unless you tell me now?"
Hearing the silver-masked youth's teasing tone, Mu Xin Nuan snorted and turned her head away. "Just say what you want to say directly. Why beat around the bush like that? Could it be that you, like the people from the Duke of Anguo's mansion, have ill intentions?"
"Girl, if I had ill intentions, would you still be standing here safely?" The silver-masked youth chuckled a few times, his tone unmistakably sinister.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you at the Duke of Anguo's residence? And why are you helping me? We're complete strangers. Don't tell me it's just for fun?"
"Fun?" The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Making Yang Yu'er lose face really puts me in a good mood."
Mu Xin Nuan's thoughts shifted. Was he really after Yang Yu'er as well? Yang Yu'er was beautiful and of noble birth, the object of desire for countless young men from prestigious families! But why did this young master speak of her with such disdain?
"You don't like Yang Yu'er?"
The boy countered, "Why should I like it?"
Mu Xin Nuan's voice faltered. She blinked and looked at him with disbelief. "Yang Yu'er is beautiful and comes from a prestigious family. Why don't you like her?"
"Beauty is merely superficial. Even daughters of noble families are only admired on the surface. Their true nature is vastly different. In my opinion, she's nothing more than a beautiful snake! Don't you agree, Miss Mu?"
A beautiful snake? That's quite an apt description...! To prevent my eldest cousin from marrying into the Crown Prince's palace, she'd resort to such underhanded tactics—truly despicable! Luckily, I discovered her scheme; otherwise, my eldest cousin's reputation would be completely ruined. No! Not just her reputation, but the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion!
If everything really comes true as Yang Yu'er planned, then her eldest cousin will definitely have no chance of survival! Only death can protect the reputation of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and allow her to escape her suffering sooner.
If a woman loses her reputation, it is indeed better for her to die! Otherwise, the scorn of the world will torture a perfectly good person to the point of being unrecognizable and dying a miserable death.
Mu Xin Nuan thought about it and realized that, indeed, how could a prestigious family like the Duke of Anguo's mansion not have secret guards? How could they let a little girl like her succeed so easily?
"Thank you so much. Although I don't know why you helped me, I still appreciate your help this time. At least you saved my older cousin's life."
The silver-masked youth chuckled twice. "That's more or less the attitude I'm looking for! Alright, you don't need to be so polite. How about this, I think your aphrodisiac is pretty good, at least the effects are quite satisfactory. How about giving me a couple of bottles?"
Two bottles? Does he think this is salt or flour? Is it that easy to get? This is something I meticulously developed myself; you can't buy it anywhere else. It's one of a kind! He's really got a good idea—two bottles!
The silver-masked youth could tell from her darkening expression that the little girl was unwilling. He raised his chin slightly, crossed his arms, and said, "What? Is your older cousin's life not even worth as much as these two bottles of aphrodisiacs?"
Mu Xin Nuan immediately felt embarrassed and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, if you want to use it, why don't you just go to the pharmacy outside and buy it yourself? Don't they have all kinds?"
The boy chuckled softly, "How can anything bought outside compare to what you make yourself? Little girl, how about we make a deal?"
"Huh?" Mu Xin Nuan was a little confused. What did he want to do?
"Well, I do have quite a few rare medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, I find them annoying to look at. Yet, one can't live without them. Miss Mu, have you ever heard of Anping Hall?"
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "That's the largest pharmacy in the capital. There are two branches in the capital alone, and I've heard that there are quite a few branches outside the capital. Of course, I've heard of it."
"Here's what we'll do. You can take whatever medicinal herbs you need from Anping Hall, free of charge. The reward is that you can give me a few bottles of ready-made medicines that I need from time to time."
Mu Xin Nuan was truly confused this time. She was only a ten-year-old child, so why did he have so much confidence in her? There were so many famous doctors in the capital, why did he choose to seek her out instead? Was he out of his mind?
The silver-masked youth wasn't in a hurry; he casually played with the token in his hand.
He knew that his actions and words had startled her, perhaps a bit abruptly. However, he trusted his judgment; this little girl would surely agree. Besides, she was only ten years old, yet she could create such interesting medicine. Given time and proper guidance, she might very well become a renowned doctor!
Mu Xin Nuan carefully considered her current situation. The more she came into contact with these medical books and pharmacology, the more she wanted to understand! But learning medical principles couldn't just be about applying what was in the books forever, could it? At the very least, medicine always required medicinal herbs!
Mu Xin Nuan thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and asked, "Can I make medicine in your Anping Hall?"
These days, every time she comes into contact with these medicinal herbs, she has to bathe with the herb petals, immediately change and wash her clothes, and then carefully fumigate them with incense to avoid being discovered by her father and mother again.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I'm always worried about being seen doing something in this Moon Pavilion. If I am seen, how am I going to explain it? After all, the medicinal properties of this medicine are right here. I can't lie to people, can I?
The silver-masked youth smiled slightly and nodded. "Of course! I'll have someone set up a separate pharmacy for you in the backyard of Anping Hall. That way, you can go directly there from now on and won't have to keep going in and out of Anping Hall."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan thought it was the best course of action. It was indeed not a good thing for a daughter of an official to be constantly visiting a pharmacy! If it attracted the attention of others, it would be a loss rather than a gain.
"Miss Mu, it's settled then, can I have my two bottles of aphrodisiac now?"
Mu Xin Nuan blushed and glanced at the sign again. "How do I know if you're telling the truth? I have to try it at Anping Hall before I can believe you, right?"
