I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

By the time the medicine was applied to Pei Yan, it was already dark.

Fang Xiao took a nap last night and got up early the next morning.

Carrying the medicinal herbs picked yesterday, I set off for town under the rising sun.

Pei Yan and He Jinnian insisted on coming along, and He Jinnian, who couldn't do housework, took the initiative to take Fang Xiaoxiao's basket.

As she was being carried on his back, she gave Pei Yan a defiant look.

"I can carry medicine for my wife to relieve her fatigue, what can you do?"

Pei Yan ignored him and stepped forward to take Fang Xiaoxiao's hand.

Fang Xiaoxiao was quite pleased with the two men's jealousy and rivalry, and the three of them walked and joked around all the way.

In about half an hour, we arrived at Yong'an Hall, the largest pharmacy in town.

He Jinnian put the medicinal herbs on the ground, and Fang Xiaoxiao called out, "Waiter, medicine for sale!"

Fang Xiaoxiao brought only the best medicinal herbs, and the quantity was almost half a basket, so she sold them for a good price.

"Waiter, please prepare a three-day supply of the medicine according to the prescription."

Having received the money, Fang Xiaoxiao took out the prescription and asked the waiter to prepare the medicine.

The above are the medicinal herbs used to treat Pei Yan's injuries and detoxify him; they are not available on the mountain.

There were a few other pills that were too troublesome to prepare, so I just bought them directly from the pharmacy.

The waiter took the prescription and looked at it, then was stumped.

His brows were furrowed, and he hesitated to move.

Fang Xiaoxiao noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong? Are the medicinal herbs missing?"

"Yong'an Pharmacy is the biggest pharmacy in town!"

Hearing the commotion, the shopkeeper came over. "What's wrong?"

The waiter handed the prescription to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the prescription, stroked his beard, and squinted as he examined the herbs listed.

After a short while, he spoke, "Miss, we do have the medicinal herbs listed here, but the pills on this..."

"Not to mention our pharmacy, no one in the whole town sells it."

Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly seized the business opportunity and asked, "Is it just that these few pills are missing, or are all the others missing?"

The shopkeeper looked at her for a long time before finally saying, "Nothing is available."

Fang Xiaoxiao smiled broadly, "Then you can just grab the herbs on top."

As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, Pei Yan saw that Fang Xiao had been happy all the way home.

Unconsciously, a smile crept onto his lips, and he asked, "What's making you so happy?"

Before Fang Xiaoxiao could answer, she was drawn to the attention of a shout.

Looking back, I saw it was Yu Donglei from the same village.

Yu Donglei was the village beauty before Fang Xiaoxiao squandered her family fortune and moved in.

All the bachelors in the village, from eighty years old to three years old, fawned over her.

Since Fang Xiaoxiao moved in, the main character in this story has naturally changed from her to Fang Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, she always found Fang Xiaoxiao extremely displeasing, even though Fang Xiaoxiao never paid any attention to her.

Yu Donglei was still like a fly, constantly bothering Fang Xiaoxiao and making her uncomfortable.

Just because the original owner didn't bother with her before doesn't mean Fang Xiaoxiao will let her cause trouble.

"What's the matter?"

Pei Yan and the others entered the house first, and Yu Donglei only saw Fang Xiaoxiao.

Having learned that she had chosen seven suitors yesterday, I've come here today specifically to see her make a fool of herself.

"She's already destitute, yet she's trying to marry seven husbands at once. It's just putting on a show; she'll definitely end up not marrying a single one!"

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't reply, but watched her performance quietly with her arms crossed.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoxiao did not remain silent, Yu Donglei became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

"I heard he was the last one to arrive yesterday. A man who picks up what others have left over is definitely not a good man."

Fang Xiaoxiao chuckled, clapped her hands, and directly called out Pei Yan and He Jinnian.

Yu Donglei was already dumbfounded when He Jinnian came out, until Pei Yan came out.

Yu Donglei stared wide-eyed at the doorway, wondering how there could be such a handsome man in the world.

Fang Xiaoxiao saw that Yu Donglei looked like a lovesick girl and couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

Pei Yan had been used to seeing women look at him like that since he was a child, and he found it extremely disgusting, not to mention that Yu Donglei was no match for the young ladies in the capital.

Yu Donglei's infatuated gaze remained fixed on Pei Yan until he entered the house and his figure disappeared into the shadows.

"Oh!"

A loud slam of the door rang out, and Yu Donglei finally came to her senses.

Unbeknownst to Pei Yan, he had followed Fang Xiaoxiao to her home, only to be shut out by Fang Xiaoxiao as soon as they reached the door.

"Fang Xiaoxiao, you just wait!"

Outside the door, Yu Donglei's cursing began, but soon fell silent.

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't pay any attention to this so-called village beauty.

She went to every pharmacy in town today, but none of them sold the pills.

Coincidentally, she knows how to develop it.

Now, why worry about not earning thirty taels in three months?

After applying the medicine to Pei Yan, Fang Xiaoxiao carried her small basket up the mountain to collect the medicinal herbs needed to make the pills.

In just two days, Fang Xiaoxiao privately gave the back mountain a name as a place rich in medicinal herbs.

The time it took to gather a basket of medicinal herbs today was even shorter than yesterday, just as Fang Xiaoxiao was about to go down the mountain to go home.

A man in black was found kneeling on the ground at the corner.

Startled, she hurriedly ducked into the grass, only to see her master meeting with the man in black.

Isn't this Pei Yan, the husband she came to see yesterday?

The Pei Yan she saw at this moment was completely different from the Pei Yan she had met in the past two days.

He seemed to possess an innate elegance and nobility, yet his excessively cold eyes made this elegance appear almost indifferent.

Those cold eyes naturally saw him too.

The next instant, the man in black on the ground disappeared.

Pei Yan walked towards her step by step with a cold face.

"What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything!" Fang Xiaoxiao climbed in, took two steps back, and smiled awkwardly.

"My husband, I've finished gathering the medicinal herbs, let's go home!"

As the two drew closer, Fang Xiaoxiao tried her best to persuade them.

She had long suspected that Pei Yan's identity was not simple, and she didn't want to die here.

A delicate, small dagger had appeared in Pei Yan's well-defined hand without anyone noticing.

He wanted to kill him to silence him!

Fang Xiaoxiao spread her hands, as if surrendering.

Seeing that Pei Yan was still walking, he made up his mind, stood still, closed his eyes and said;

"The remaining poison in your body has not been neutralized. I can make pills to detoxify you!"

After he finished speaking, Pei Yan's footsteps were indeed no longer heard.

When she opened her eyes, Pei Yan was already standing in front of her.

However, the dagger in her hand was gone, and Fang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

“There are no pharmacies in this town that sell pills, but I happen to know how to make antidotes. If you spare my life, I will detoxify you.”

"I promise I will not reveal a single word about what happened today!"

Pei Yan's approaching hand made the hairs on Fang Xiaoxiao's neck stand on end.

Pei Yan's slender, fair hand brushed across her face, and he took the basket of medicinal herbs from her shoulder, smiling slightly as he said:

"Then let's go home, my wife."

Pei Yan still remembered that when he went to town that morning, He Jinnian snatched Fang Xiaoxiao's basket and carried it with a defiant look in his eyes.

I really want to kick him out of the house and make him sleep on the streets.
