She subconsciously looked behind her and saw Xue Wuzhu pulling out a dagger and striking at Lin Xing.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Chunxiao exclaimed, but the bamboo cage was in front of her. Before she could go around, she heard a commotion.

Zhao Jie frowned slightly and kicked Xue Wuzhu hard in the chest.

Although Xue Wuzhu was far away from him, Zhao Jie took a strong step back and knelt on one knee with his dagger on the ground.

Xue Wuzhu's chest felt itchy and painful. He kept coughing and his face turned red.

"Old Xue, what are you doing? Madam is kind enough to treat Xiaonian, but you want her life?" Fulin pressed the bamboo cage, stared at Xue Wuzhu's figure, and gritted his teeth.

"That's no treatment at all. Look at how my grandson was tortured!" Xue Wuzhu said angrily, veins burst out on the back of his hand holding the dagger, "Have you ever seen such a vicious treatment method?"

"I've seen it!" Fu Lin yelled back, "You think it's just a caravan, why did Brother Xue spend so much effort? It's because wherever the spirit plant goes, it's extremely dangerous and full of strange poisons. If you steam it, you'll suffer.

No, then can you imagine how we cut the flesh and scrape the bones?"

Xue Wuzhu was silent. His eyes were scarlet, but he also kept silent. He only observed the bamboo cage carefully.

"Heh." Zhao Jie sneered, "The dog bit Lu Dongbin."

Lin Xing was quite surprised. Zhao Jie had a naughty temper and was not afraid of anything. These days, he had some sense of control under Zhou Yan's teaching. As usual, he would have lifted up the bamboo cage and separated Xue Wuzhu and Xue Wuzhu.

They were thrown into the vat together.

I think Zhou Yan still has some tricks to take care of his children.

Lin Xing curled her lips and ordered several people to lift the bamboo cage down, fish out the black silkworm clothes, and dry them on the shelf on the side of the bamboo cage.

The water in the tank was turbid and sticky, but the black silkworm clothes were not stained properly. Lin Xing put the black silkworm clothes over Xue Nian's body. In just a moment, Xue Nian's exposed skin was wrapped tightly.

.

Xue Wuzhu had rushed over long ago and saw that Xue Nian's skin color had faded from blue to flesh color, and his whole body seemed to be as thin as a bamboo pole. Fortunately, his life was saved.

Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief as the black silkworm clothes blocked out the outside. She pressed Xue Nian's wrist, poured out the heart-protecting pills, put them into Xue Nian's mouth, and said: "This black silkworm clothes will stay with him for the rest of his life, and he will never take it off again."

Come down. There are too many outside interferences. If he wants to survive, he needs to do his own food in the future, and no one else can help him at all."

"Then my grandson is..." Xue Wuzhu's hands were shaking, and tears were almost pouring out.

Lin Xing shook his head: "He is weak. If he can wake up tonight and make a bowl of soup for himself and be still alive when the sun comes up tomorrow, then he will not be worried about his life."

She still remembered Xue Wuzhu's assassination of Lin Xing just now. The most taboo thing in practicing medicine was to be passionate and not understand at all. Even though Fulin was there to help persuade, a high wall was built in her heart.

If this thing hadn't happened, Lin Xing would have loved to have stayed with Xue Nian in the secret room for a whole day and night to make sure nothing went wrong.

Otherwise, if something happens to her, not only will she not be saved, but she will also be deducted points and debt, which is really not worth the loss.

But rushing too much in this way will only encourage others' arrogance.

"The money has been settled and the deeds have been exchanged. Three days later, shopkeeper Xue will be asked to give up the store." Lin Xing said with a cold face, "Black silkworm clothes are expensive but not marketable. Since Xue Nian used them, they will naturally be counted.

These spiritual plants are placed on Shopkeeper Xue’s head as a reward for healing.”

After that, Lin Xing and Zhao Jie were about to leave.

However, Fulin patted Xue Wuzhu on the shoulder and winked at Xue Wuzhu. The next moment, the two of them stopped in front of Lin Xing.

"You can't leave yet!"

"Are you finished?" Zhao Jie said "tsk" impatiently, raised his hand and pulled out Chunxiao's saber, and placed it across Xue Wuzhu's neck, "My mother was kind enough to treat your grandson, and she even took out the black silkworm clothes.

, what else do you want? If we had known that renting a shop would be so troublesome, we wouldn't have made this trip."

"Master, that's not what we meant. My wife is very skilled in medicine, and I, Old Xue, fell into submission. That's why I offended you." Xue Wuzhu said, "It's just that I, Old Xue, have an unkind request."

"explain."

"I have been in business for so many years. Although I am not a psychic plant, I have left so many properties left behind by my son in ruins. However, the capital city is deep in water and I know all the trivial matters. I recommend myself as my wife to take care of the business. It is also convenient for me to have someone good or bad in the future. I can make people happy in the future.

Madam, she immediately treated my grandson." Xue Wuzhu took out a cloth bag from his waist, took out a few pieces of paper, and said, "This is my deed of betrayal."

Zhao Jie sneered: "I said you, an old man, will never stop taking advantage of you, right..."

"Zhao Jie." Lin Xing stopped Zhao Jie and took over the deed of betrayal. The writing was rigorous and very standard. Lin Xing's eyes fell on Xue Wuzhu. Ever since Uncle Zhong had a different heart with them, there was no one around them anymore.

A decent housekeeper and a huge Zhao family property, Zhao Jie only scratched the surface.

Shopkeeper Xue has been immersed in Xuanwu Street for many years, and he thought he would be helpful to Zhao Jie in managing the Zhao family in the future.

Lin Xing pondered for a moment and then said: "I still have to think about this matter and will give you an answer in three days."

Xue Wuzhu was extremely grateful and bowed to Lin Xing again and again before getting up.

Fulin stood beside him, his lips moved slightly, as if he had something to say, but when Lin Xing looked over, he shut his mouth again and said, "Lao Xue and I are waiting for Madam's reply."

Lin Xing nodded. Just as he came out of the secret room, he was stopped by Xue Wuzhu again.

All the fifteen thousand taels of silver notes were stuffed into the hands of Lin Xing and Zhao Jie. Xue Wuzhu said: "It is my good fortune that Madam can save my grandson, let alone take advantage of him. Since my grandson no longer needs medical treatment,

, it’s useless for me, old Xue, to ask for so much silver.”

Zhao Jie's face looked better now. He clicked and took out 6,000 taels: "You and your grandson also need to live. This store will give you the price of the store in Beijing. Take it."

Xue Wuzhu wiped his face and seemed to be really moved by Zhao Jie's move. He put the six thousand taels in his arms, knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.

After finishing all the matters on Xuanwu Street, it was already dusk when Lin Xing returned to the Hou Mansion.

The concierge had just announced that when he entered the courtyard, Zhao Jie's eyes lit up: "Master!"

Zhou Yan sat in the courtyard, poured a cup of hot tea, and said without raising his head: "I told you not to be anxious when something happens, but you have forgotten it, right?"

As he said that, he placed the three cups of tea on the triangle of the table and looked at Lin Xing casually: "Where did you go? I didn't come back until now."

"We went to Xuanwu Street and bought a shop." Lin Xing had no intention of hiding anything from Zhou Yan. She pushed the deed over and said, "There is a secret room under this shop. There is a secret room inside.

The secret passage can lead directly to the outside of the city."

Xue Wuzhu seemed to feel guilty for having offended Lin Xing, so he took the initiative to introduce the entire construction of the secret room. There were thirteen rooms in the secret room. Except for one room for miscellaneous items and one room for Xue Nian, the others were filled with spiritual plants.
