Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng’s outlooks on life, morals, and worldview were in sync. If Xie Heng acted like a saint every day and asked her to be broadminded and save everyone, she would sooner or later be driven to death by him. She did not need a saint!

This was the way to survive that the post-apocalyptic world taught her.

As they talked, they entered a medical hall.

Zhao Chuchu named a list of medicinal herbs, but quite a number of them were unavailable. She went to almost all the medical halls in the capital but still could not get one last item in the end.

The owners of the medical halls told her that they had never even heard of that particular medicinal herb before. They suggested that it would be best for her to find another herb to serve as a substitute.

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

If she could find a substitute, would she have needed to visit so many medical halls?

Left with no choice, Zhao Chuchu could only pay a visit to the Yuan residence and seek their help to find this herb.

Mrs. Yuan agreed to help her out and asked Zhao Chuchu to stay for dinner. She said, “Since you are already here, you might as well have dinner before you leave. Da Lang is also here, so it would be perfect! Your grandmother has been missing you recently!”

“Godmother, you really don’t have to. I have to rush back home to prepare a bunch of medicinal herbs. They are needed to save someone’s life. I will pay you a visit in a few days once I am free. Don’t tell grandmother that I came.”

Once Mrs. Yuan heard Zhao Chuchu say this, she did not keep the latter here any longer.

However, she still ordered the servants to pack some dishes from the kitchen for Zhao Chuchu to bring back home.

After they left the Yuan residence, Xie Heng also said to Zhao Chuchu, “I will also ask people to look into this herb and find it as soon as possible.”

“We need it as soon as possible. Otherwise, Zhong Peifeng won’t make it. He does not have much time,” said Zhao Chuchu as she sighed.

It seemed that she still had to use her power.

Zhong Peifeng’s illness was too severe. She would need to expend a lot of her power. With her current capabilities, she needed to use her power at least three times, and she would most likely pass out each time she finished using it.

If she could find the herb, she would only need to support the medicinal properties of the medicine with her power and would not need to expend so much of it.

“Hmm, I know,” replied Xie Heng as he nodded.

By the time they returned to the Xie residence, Chang Hong had already prepared dinner and was waiting for their return.

Chai Le had reorganized the courtyard and cleared out the flowerbeds. He was just about to ask them what flowers they would like him to plant.

Zhao Chuchu was not too interested in flowers and botany.

She felt it would be a waste for the courtyard to be planted with flowers. So, she instructed Chai Le to buy seeds for medicinal herbs and fill the courtyard with them.

It was common to see vegetables being grown in courtyards, but this was the first time Chai Le had seen medicinal herbs being planted.

However, when he considered that the mistress was a physician, it suddenly felt very normal. After Zhao Chuchu finished her dinner, he properly sought instruction from her before preparing to plant the medicinal herbs.

Zhao Chuchu was very satisfied with this couple.

They worked hard and did not talk much. After the Third Prince sent them to the Xie clan, their hearts, and minds were with the Xie clan.

People like them were the most useful.

Chang Hong could not stand being idle. When she saw that Zhao Chuchu was preparing the medicinal herbs, she proactively came forward to help.

She would learn diligently and not act opinionated if she did not know something.

Chai Le was relatively rougher around the edges. After helping out for a while, when he noticed that he would not be helping at all, he stopped and did not add to Zhao Chuchu’s workload.

With Xie Heng and Chang Hong as her two helpers, Zhao Chuchu managed to prepare the medicinal herbs much faster than before.

Before midnight, they were mostly done. They only needed to concoct the medicine.

Since they did not have all the medicinal herbs, there was no rush to do so. Zhao Chuchu planned to search for the herb outside of the city tomorrow. What if it had yet to be used as a medicine?

“Chuchu, you should rest first. The principal and Zhong Peifeng will be coming over bright and early tomorrow morning,” said Xie Heng as he coerced her to bathe. He took the initiative to sort the remaining herbs and store them away properly.

Zhao Chuchu was more than happy to relax.

Chang Hong headed into the kitchen to prepare hot water for her.

If Zhao Chuchu had not turned her down, Chang Hong was even prepared to bathe her.

Although Zhao Chuchu enjoyed being pampered, she was still not used to being bathed by others.

Chang Hong did not give up. She said, “My technique is quite good. Madam, you have worked hard the entire day. A nice massage will make you feel much better.”

Zhao Chuchu shook her head and said, “There is no need. I will ask Da Lang to give me a massage later.”

Since she had said so, Chang Hong was not so oblivious as to insist on massaging her.

Zhao Chuchu soaked herself in the bathtub and recalled the day’s events. Yu Linjiang acting like a buffoon made her laugh out loud uncontrollably.

Xie Heng was truly wicked.

Scholars cared most about their image.

Xie Heng had caused Yu Linjiang to lose face completely. Even if the latter continued to stay in Qingyang Academy, he would probably be traumatized.

The sequelae of holding back his urine will probably stay with Yu Linjiang for the rest of his life.

After all, the medical skill of this era was not so advanced. It was impossible for anyone of this era to treat Yu Linjiang.

He would sooner or later come to beg her for treatment.

However, she would not treat him. She would not change her mind even if he threw money at her.

She did not lack money!

The world did not need more calculative people who ran their mouths like Yu

Linjiang.. If she helped to treat his condition, it would be considered her loss!
