200 Slap in the Face
Before Old Madam Jin could speak, Luo Cheng spoke first.
Luo Cheng looked directly at Jin Dawei, who had walked in, and said with a faint smile, “Why didn’t I know that this Bezoar Pill that can save lives is actually unpresentable?! If this Bezoar Pill isn’t presentable, I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift you can bring out?”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s expression changed except for Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
Old Madam Jin was stunned for a moment before her gaze landed on the box in Haitang’s hand.
She really did not expect a big surprise!
She liked Li Xiaoran, so she acknowledged her as her granddaughter. Unexpectedly, she actually received the Bezoar Pill as a gift.
When Jin Ximing heard Luo Cheng’s words, his pupils dilated and his face was filled with shock.
Everyone knew how rare Bezoar Pills were. What surprised him even more was that this hunter actually called his brother’s name.
One had to know, how could a mere hunter like him dare to? Who gave him the courage and backing?
When Jin Dawei heard Luo Cheng’s words, he was furious.
“Hmph, your just country bumpkins, but you actually boasted that you gave her a Bezoar Pill. In my opinion, this Bezoar Pill might be fake!”
With that, Jin Dawei’s expression darkened. He stared at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng and threatened, “If you know what’s good for you, quickly take the things away. Don’t come to our family again. Our family can let bygones be bygones!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded.
From the beginning to the end, she did not take the initiative. It was Old Madam Jin who wanted her to become a family member.
The Jin family was really too much!
“Shut up, you unfilial son. Will you only be happy after you anger me to death?” Old Madam Jin was angry.
It wasn’t easy for her to meet a young girl she liked, but he was so rude. How could Old Madam Jin not be angry?
Just as Old Madam Jin was about to teach this unfilial son a lesson with her walking stick, her vision darkened and she fell back.
Luo Cheng had been paying attention to Old Madam Jin’s movements. When he saw that she had fainted from anger, he took the box containing the Bezoar Pill and appeared beside her.
As he carried Old Madam Jin, Luo Cheng took out the Bezoar Pill from the box and quickly fed one to Old Madam Jin.
After confirming that Old Madam Jin had swallowed the Bezoar Pill, Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaoran was stunned by this sudden scene, but she reacted quickly. When she saw Luo Cheng help, she immediately shouted.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call a doctor!”
Mrs. Su came back to her senses and quickly said to Haitang, “Haitang, quickly go next door and invite Old Master Wei over!”
Haitang immediately understood and left.
On the other side, Mrs. Su led Luo Cheng to the inner room and covered Old Madam Jin with a blanket.
At that moment, Jin Dawei and Jin Ximing came to their senses and rushed over.
When Mrs. Su saw the two of them, she stood up and stopped them.
“Master, Third Master, you’d better wait in the hall outside! I’m afraid that when Old Madam wakes up and sees you two again, she’ll be so angry that she’ll faint again!”
Mrs. Su was already being quite blunt.
Only Mrs. Su dared to say this. If it were any other servant, they would have been reprimanded by Jin Dawei.
“Mrs. Su, don’t be angry! It’s our fault. It’s more important to save Mother first!” Jin Ximing persuaded.
“Third Master, you know that her life is important now? Why didn’t you think about it when you angered her previously? You can’t wait for her to die, right? This way, no one will control you anymore. You can live a carefree life!” Mrs. Su said with red eyes.
When Jin Dawei heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
“Mrs. Su, I respect you as an old man by my side, so I’m showing you some respect. Don’t take advantage of your seniority. At the end of the day, you’re just a servant of our family! Who do you think you are? How dare you keep lecturing us brothers?!”
Mrs. Su was really disappointed.
At this moment, Mrs. Su finally understood why the old lady said that.
As expected, she had raised these sons for nothing!
“You bastard, your mother fainted from anger, but you’re still bullying the people around her. I think you’re getting more and more unreasonable!” At this moment, a strong old man rushed in with a medicine box on his back and scolded.
Seeing that it was Old Master Wei, Jin Dawei did not dare to be impudent. However, his face was filled with anger.
After all, Old Master Wei was an imperial physician who had retired from the palace. Even Jin Dawei did not dare to offend him.
When Mrs. Su saw Old Master Wei, she quickly came forward.
“Old Master, Old Madam isn’t in a good state. Hurry up and save her!”
Old Master Wei looked at Mrs. Su’s red eyes and nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’m here!”
With that, Old Master Wei went straight to the inner room without looking at Jin Dawei and Jin Ximing.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and another servant, Qiu Tang, were guarding Old Madam Jin.
Seeing that Old Master Wei was here, everyone made way.
Old Master Wei took her pulse carefully, then looked more and more relaxed.
“Fortunately, you gave her the Bezoar Pill. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! Old Madam Jin is lucky to have the Bezoar Pill by her side. Don’t worry, I’ll prescribe medicine and feed her a bowl of it, then she’ll wake up. However, this medicine can’t be stopped. She has to drink it for seven days straight. Seven days later, I’ll come and take Old Madam Jin’s pulse to see how she’s recovering!”
Jin Ximing had been following Old Master Wei. When he heard Old Master Wei’s words and remembered the pill Luo Cheng had fed his mother, he immediately exclaimed.
“That pill is really a Bezoar Pill?”
Luo Cheng glanced at Jin Ximing and immediately sneered.
“What? Do you still suspect that we didn’t send her authentic Bezoar Pill? Now, the doctor is still here, and there’s still a Bezoar Pill left. Why don’t we ask this old doctor to examine it?!”
When Old Master Wei heard that there was still a Bezoar Pill, he immediately became interested.
“Is there really more? Hurry up and bring it to me!”
The box was in Qiu Tang’s hand. Qiu Tang looked at Mrs. Su and saw her nod.
Old Master Wei carefully took out the Bezoar Pill and nodded.
“That’s right, it’s indeed a Bezoar Pill! What’s even rarer is that the quality of this Bezoar Pill is better than that of the Bezoar Pills I’ve seen in the past. I wonder where this Bezoar Pill came from?”
