Meng Yao didn’t say much; she had made an agreement with Lu Luoxing, so the decision of whom to teach and whom not to teach was up to her. Of course, this didn’t mean Meng Yao agreed with Lu Luoxing’s methods. If she were Lu Luoxing, she definitely wouldn’t keep a tiger as a threat. After leaving Hundred Herbs Hall, Meng Yao didn’t go straight back but instead visited Xiong Er’s home. Xiong Er wasn’t home, only his wife was. Seeing Meng Yao, Xiong Er’s wife was very happy. Being willing to associate meant her matter with her brother-in-law was set in stone. Thus, Xiong Er’s wife was very enthusiastic, making tea and bringing out snacks. "You don’t need to fuss, I’m just here to see you," Meng Yao said. "According to what sister-in-law said, these past couple of days, I really feel more energetic than before." Xiong Er’s wife smiled with pursed lips, "Xiong Er also said my complexion looks better than before." "Every day at the time of Si, as long as there’s sunlight, sit with your back to the sun and let your back bask. Remember to wear a bamboo hat to shade your head while basking," Meng Yao said after feeling Xiong Er’s wife’s pulse. "Bask the back?" Xiong Er’s wife said somewhat curiously. "Yes, your body is weak, with insufficient yang energy. Bask your back; it’s the quickest way to warm the middle and support the yang. Persistently basking will greatly benefit your health, and what’s more, it doesn’t require medicine—quite convenient," Meng Yao explained. "Alright, I’ll listen to sister-in-law," Xiong Er’s wife promptly agreed when she heard it was good for her health. "I’m at the Hundred Herbs Hall every morning; if anything comes up, just come find me," Meng Yao instructed, "By the way, what kind of work does Second Brother do?" "He, well, thanks to Big Brother’s favor, works as a guard at a wealthy family’s house. The family takes good care of us; because of my poor health, he gets a day off every five days," said Xiong Er’s wife, "Their routine is just like the Magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s a guard, just hearing about his rest schedule, people might think he’s an official." Meng Yao smiled; being in Xiong Da’s favor, could it mean that this wealthy family has ties with the Heaven and Earth Sect? She wondered if Zhao Ting was aware of this matter; she would have to mention it to him the next time she saw him. "Earning money and taking care of you, it’s indeed a rare good family!" Meng Yao remarked, "You have a good rest; I’ll head back now and visit you some other day." Xiong Er’s wife wanted to keep Meng Yao for dinner, but Meng Yao declined, "The child is waiting for me to return for dinner." "Then I won’t keep sister-in-law any longer. Next time, bring the child to recognize the way," Xiong Er’s wife said. Su Ye was cooking when Meng Yao, after washing her hands, also went into the kitchen. "Auntie, will you be coming back for dinner every day?" Su Ye asked. "Without special circumstances, I will return," Meng Yao replied. She didn’t plan on giving them lessons all day; aside from the concentrated teaching every morning, the rest of the time would be theirs to distribute as they saw fit. Indeed, they’re all talented, but they also need ample time to digest what they learn. Most importantly, she had her own matters as well. "I thought I’d have to eat lunch alone today, but it’s nice that Auntie came back, so we can keep each other company while eating," Su Ye said happily. "Why, isn’t Dahe coming back to eat?" Meng Yao asked. "Si Mo came back once at noon and told me not to cook for them," Su Ye replied. "Do the three of them often go to social gatherings?" "When Dahe first rented this house, he often did. Now that it’s full, today was the first time," Su Ye considered, "Maybe they met someone they really wanted to interact with?" Zhao Dahe was always methodical in what he did, rarely engaging in futile efforts. It must be as Su Ye said; the other party was someone he really wanted to interact with. After eating, Meng Yao tidied up a room and then went to Hundred Herbs Hall for a trip; when she came back, she carried a bamboo basket. Su Ye asked her what she was doing and if she needed help. Meng Yao didn’t hide it from her, "I want to prepare some pills." "I can’t do that; I can’t help Auntie." Su Ye laughed, "Then I’ll go out for a stroll by myself. Auntie, if you need something, let me know and I’ll bring it back for you." After Su Ye left, Meng Yao locked the door and got busy. Even though she brought back quite a few herbs from Hundred Herbs Hall, Meng Yao didn’t use these herbs; instead, she handed them all to the system, which could increase points. Then, Meng Yao entered the prescription according to the ratio. After the points were deducted, Meng Yao could directly obtain the finished pills. This was a feature after the system was repaired, greatly convenient for Meng Yao. This time, Meng Yao made Wan Dai Pills, specifically for women suffering from vaginal discharge ailments. This was another agreement she reached with Lu Luoxing. She would provide finished medicine to Hundred Herbs Hall, which would then sell them, with the profits being split sixty-forty. She would take forty, and Hundred Herbs Hall would take sixty. All necessary herbs were provided by Hundred Herbs Hall. Without her permission, her identity mustn’t be revealed. In other words, in the whole Lu Family and Hundred Herbs Hall, only Lu Luoxing knew about her. A hundred bottles of Wan Dai Pills were neatly arranged on the table. One had to admit, with the system’s assistance, the herbs were precisely measured, and the medicinal power was maximized without wasting any ingredients while achieving the best effect. This was certainly a cheat tool. At least, Meng Yao didn’t think she could manually make pills this well. "Auntie, Auntie." Yue Sihai’s booming voice was deafening. Meng Yao opened the door, and Yue Sihai, along with Wen Shu, had already carried Zhao Dahe into the courtyard. Zhao Dahe’s eyebrows were tightly knit, his expression appearing very painful. Meng Yao quickly stepped forward, "What happened?" "Dahe injured his leg," Yue Sihai said, full of self-blame, "It’s my fault for not being able to protect Dahe." "Carry him to my room," Meng Yao tried to calm herself down; just now, she was a bit flustered. Could it be that the dream she had wasn’t referring to Huaiyuan County, but to Qingzhou Prefecture? "You all help me bring hot water," Meng Yao instructed calmly. Yue Sihai and Wen Shu quickly returned with two basins of hot water. "When you leave, close the door properly. Without my permission, do not come in," Meng Yao added. "What happened?" Meng Yao asked. Just now, she was worried and therefore confused, not noticing the discrepancy at first— Most of the pain on Zhao Dahe’s face was feigned. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 "I must have been tricked by someone else. But, Mom, quickly, look at my left leg, it truly hurts," Zhao Dahe said. Rolling up the pant leg, Zhao Dahe’s calf already had a palm-sized swelling. Meng Yao pinched it a few times, and Zhao Dahe screamed miserably. "Be gentle, be gentle, Mom, are you really my mother?" Zhao Dahe howled. "If I weren’t your real mom, would I care for you? No bone injury, you’re lucky. Considering how ruthless the attack was, it was clearly aimed at breaking your leg," Meng Yao said, applying pain-relieving and blood-dissolving ointment gently to Zhao Dahe’s injury. "How long until it heals?" Zhao Dahe asked. "Use the medicine diligently, and it’ll heal in seven or eight days," Meng Yao said, "Was it done by the Li Family?" "There’s no evidence," Zhao Dahe said, somewhat angrily, "It looked like an accident. Our group, after eating, was heading to a scenic garden in Qingzhou Prefecture. Two groups started a ruckus in the restaurant’s main hall. Remembering what Mom said, I didn’t join the commotion. But while walking out, the groups started brawling, and I don’t know how, but someone’s stick aimed right at my leg."
