In a corner of the back garden of the Dark Night City's City Lord's Mansion, a white building was faintly discernible under the cover of large leaves. As they approached, they could easily smell the smell of herbs floating out from inside.
According to the memories in his mind, Xiao Chen walked for a long time before he found the place where the family's apothecary lived. Seeing that the door of the white building was half-closed, he did not have much scruples and directly rushed in.
Pushing open the wooden door, a strong smell of medicinal herbs assaulted his senses. Xiao Chen was somewhat familiar with the smell of medicinal herbs. He had drunk it a few times before he was six years old, leaving an extremely "deep" impression.
"Who is it?"
Before Xiao Chen could walk over, a voice came from inside the room. Xiao Chen immediately knew that the family physician, Granny An, was inside.
"Granny An, it's me, Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen replied casually. In his original memories, although this Granny An was not very amiable, her temper was still quite good. However, he had heard from the servants in the courtyard that Granny An was extremely greedy for money. Every time those servants fell sick, they would inevitably be squeezed by her.
"Young Master Xiao Chen, why are you here? I don't have any fun toys here!”
As they were talking, an old woman with a wrinkled face and a sharp nose walked out of the room. As she walked, she smiled at Xiao Chen. However, because of the wrinkles on her face, her smile made her expression a little dark and obscure.
"Granny An, Sister Xiao Qing in my courtyard is sick from a cold. Can you go over and take a look at her?”
Xiao Chen was now living in a large family like the Lin family. In order not to be seen through as a child who had transmigrated, even if his tone of pretending to be a child made him very mushy, he could only bite the bullet and say it.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Granny An was surprised. However, she seemed to have thought of something and a sly smile appeared on her face.
"I'm afraid I don't have time now. There's a medicine inside, so I can't leave for the time being!”
After Granny An said this, her face was filled with helplessness, as if she really could not leave.
However, Xiao Chen was sure that Granny An was lying to him. She was indeed preparing medicine in the room, but it was definitely not medicine that could not be left for the time being. It was a Bone-strengthening Soup for children before the age of six. He had drunk countless bowls of this medicine before, and the smell was unmistakable.
However, he did not have much time to think about why Granny An would lie to him. When he thought about how Xiao Qing, who had been taking care of him, was sick, Xiao Chen's heart ached so much that he wanted to pull Granny An over. In this life, other than accepting all the memories in his original body, even his feelings had fused together.
"This medicine should be fine for a while. You can go and take a look!”
Upon hearing the young master's pleading words, Granny An's face inadvertently revealed a fox-like slyness, as if she was secretly happy that a delicious prey that had been waiting for so long had taken the bait.
"It's possible…but…"
Granny An wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she was too embarrassed to say the rest.
"Granny An, if you have anything to say, just say it at once!”
Xiao Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. As expected, the words that Granny An said came true.
"It's fine that this old woman left…but the medicine that I'm concocting is very expensive. It's a pity to waste it like this…a pity!”
As she spoke, Granny An revealed an extremely regretful expression. She lamented that if she went to treat Xiao Qing now, she would lose many precious medicinal herbs. However, her small eyes flashed with greed as she stared at the auspicious cloud jade pendant on Xiao Chen's waist.。
It was only after hearing this that Xiao Chen understood Granny An's intentions. It seemed that the servants 'rumors of Granny An's greed were true. It was just that he had been doted on by his parents' family in the past, so he did not realize it. Now, because of his psychic test, he had been neglected, and it was possible that he would be neglected forever. Granny An had revealed her true colors in the blink of an eye. It was indeed because he was inexperienced. One could not know a person's true colors.
Xiao Chen sighed slightly in his heart, but he was not too angry. He had already deeply felt the warmth and coldness of this world a few days ago, so he was not too bad.
