Chapter 453 Old lady

Chapter 453 Old lady

Chapter 453 Old lady

The next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Si Ning sold all the warehouse resources and returned to Siminghou Mansion.

The mansion was quite solemn, with servants and maids shuttling between the door lintels and rooms. They only exchanged glances but not a single word. The usual festive and lively atmosphere seemed like an illusion.

"what's the situation."

"The young marquis hanged himself?"

Si Ning held a mosquito coil in his mouth and walked towards the sound by his ear. In a courtyard, Si Jianian and Yue Qingyu were drinking tea and writing poetry. They were surrounded by a dozen pretty maids with a strong scent of rouge.

Everyone was talking and laughing, chasing and playing.

"Come here and give me a reply." Si Ning ordered.

There was a moment of dead silence.

Si Jianian's face turned pale and he turned and ran away. The maids followed him and fled in panic. Le Qingyu was so anxious that she shed a few tears.

"The female devil is coming!"

"Don't pay attention to this person, just run. The old lady doesn't like her, so no one cares!"

"Who can kick her out of the mansion?!"

Si Ning took a deep breath, cursed inwardly, and turned to head towards Rong'en Hall.

Before they got close, a strong smell of medicine filled the air on the road, and hundreds of guards were on duty on both sides.

Si Ning met a beautiful woman. According to seniority, she had to call her aunt. However, this woman was dishonest and took advantage of young people. She disdained to associate with her.

"What's going on?" Si Ning asked casually.

A beautiful woman was passing by holding a copper basin. When she saw the other person, her expression became a little serious.

"Ning girl, please behave yourself recently. The old ancestor... had a cough last night. We asked the head of the Yulule family to come and see him, but they were helpless. Don't make the old ancestor upset."

"The branch family called me."

"What are you talking about!" The beautiful woman couldn't help but get angry. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's just a negative curse. If it was fatal, it would be fine. It would be worth giving up most of the family property and asking the family saint to make a trip. But it's neither good nor bad."

"The old man had a bad cough all night. He is not in bad health, but he feels as if he is being cut by a knife. He has lost all interest. The troupe has to pack up and leave. I guess there will be no banquet for a while."

The beautiful woman gave the other party a warning look, then left with the basin in her hand. The old lady always liked to enjoy herself, and she suffered everything she did with a bad cough, but it was not worth asking for help from the noble family.

Si Ning shrugged and walked into Rong'en Hall. The two marquises and their two wives were all there. The Si family had always obeyed the old lady's orders, so naturally they had to choose a legitimate caretaker.

"...It is only natural for the Great Marquis to take up the responsibility."

"The eldest marquis is in charge of the military camp, so the family should be handed over to the young marquis. He has done his best to help the family fall into the state it is today."

"How can I do this? I will be laughed at by outsiders..."

"A joke? What do you mean!"

There was a great noise in Rong'en Hall. The four wives of the marquises were unable to leave due to dignity. The quarrel was mainly carried out by the elders and the servants, but the majority stood on the side of the eldest marquis. There was no need to say much about what to choose between the golden elites and the useless people.

"Alright." The young marquis said.

The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at the eldest marquis.

Si Ning sneered. The relationship between the two marquises was somewhat special now. Their status were once equal. Once a servant overstepped the boundaries of the younger marquis, the first one to feel offended would be none other than the elder marquis, just as it was rare for a regicide to be valued by the king.

"The Le family is useless. I can't bear to see my parents suffer. Let's ask Jiang Gongfeng to come. He is an alchemist and is good at healing and purification."

The young marquis stood up from his wheelchair.

He had no hope of seizing power, so he might as well return to the previous situation.

The moment he stood up, everyone was extremely shocked. Even the eldest marquis was stunned. Although he had only recovered from external injuries, the ancestor of the Le family had sentenced him to death.

"What do you think, Si Ning?" the young marquis asked. Si Ning waved his hand, "He should have a way."

"Go to the mansion and ask Jiang to offer sacrifices."

"The family fortunes are really turning for the better, and they are becoming more and more prosperous."

Si Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself that with that person's personality, it was impossible for him to save the world, there must be something fishy going on.

Half a minute later, a figure in a black and red robe walked into Rong'en Hall.

Jiang He inquired about the situation in detail and said that it might be worth a try.

The young marquis asked someone to invite the old lady out, but in the middle of the night, her face had become much paler and more haggard. Wealth and glory were her fate, but if she couldn't enjoy them, there was obviously no point in living.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang He diagnosed the case for half an hour before taking out a few fragrant fruits.

"This is the Worry-Free Fruit, which can dissipate negative energy. It was born from a heroic tree spirit, so it should be effective."

"Okay... cough cough." The old lady coughed violently, her face painful. She stared at the fruit in front of her, and her instinct gave her the answer.

"But this is one of the materials I risked my life to get when I escaped from Wujian Fortress." Jiang He clasped his fists and said, "I am determined to join the army, hoping to get a promotion."

"shameless!"

"Young man, who are you threatening?"

"It's better to just snatch it away!"

The elders and the servants all spoke up. Only a very small number of people were jealous. The main reason was that the master was humiliated and the minister died. If they didn't express their opinions at this moment, who knew what the old lady would think.

"It's not difficult for a quasi-master at the peak of silver level to become a major." The Great Marquis said, "Only if you don't fool us."

The old lady was coughing so hard that she couldn't speak and could only nod.

Jiang He directly began to prepare the medicinal soup, using the Buchou fruit as the main ingredient, and combining it with various other ingredients that looked quite good.

The Great Marquis narrowed his eyes. This guy should have taken advantage of the destruction of Wujian Fortress to escape and made a fortune. In this case, it was reasonable for him to have the right materials. After all, it was a duke's storage.

After a while, the soup is ready.

The old lady nodded. She couldn't help but feel relieved just by smelling the scent. Her instinctive desire easily overwhelmed the slight discomfort. After decades of leaving the battlefield, she was extremely disgusted with this long-standing and unfamiliar pain in her body.

"Is this... ahem... medicinal soup?"

In the medicine bowl, fruit pieces rose and fell in the boiling "spring water".

It's all just blood poison... Jiang He nodded, "The old lady has a keen eye."

The complicated drug testing process began. The Marquis' Mansion took out an immortal item specially used to test the extraordinary category. Three maids with different strengths tested the drug on themselves, and everything went normal.

Jiang He secretly activated the final time ring, allowing the blood poison that had lost its activity to return to its peak.

The old lady took the initiative to drink up a large bowl of thick blood poison.

The Worry-Free Fruit is the fruit produced by the Emperor's Rest Tree every year. It has top quality at the level of Immortality. Jiang He's sinful energy comes from the Abyss Ghost, and Lilith has greatly reduced the pollution of the Abyss Ghost with the help of the Worry-Free Fruit. If we ignore the blood poison and the fact that the curser and the pharmacist are the same person, this medicine can actually cure any disease.

call!
In full view.

The old lady let out a long sigh, and wisps of black mist rose from her body, and her originally pale face became rosy again.

"Okay, okay, Lieutenant Jiang, you are not worth your talent as a major. How about you become the first-class attendant of my Si family and serve me on weekdays?"

Rong'en Hall was silent, and Si Ning gripped the hilt of the sword.

Jiang He raised his head with a calm look.

"Old lady, are you afraid of death?"
