Chapter 429
428, Envy (6th update)
The poison vow indeed had been toxic.
Whether to herself or to her husband and son.
The foolish girl turned her head away in silence.
Xie Zhinuan had already taken out a medicine pill from the space.
One pill, one Detoxification Pill.
She had the foolish girl bring water, feeding the child the medicine pill.
She let him sleep on the couch.
The woman sat by, watching closely.
“If I were you, I would not let the Liang Family off so easily!”
The woman looked up at Xie Zhinuan.
Xie Zhinuan got up to wash her hands, “The Liang Family must be in a state of anxiety right now. If you go and threaten to extort a sum from them, demand ten thousand taels, they wouldn’t dare to give less than eight thousand. If you’re bolder, ask for a hundred thousand taels. With that sum of silver, you can take your son and flee by waterway, and the Liang Family won’t even get the chance to track you down!”
The woman looked up, astonished.
Staring at Xie Zhinuan in shock.
She had thought…
“In this world, a woman with a child, without silver, will find it hard to live a good life. But if you have silver, you can settle down anywhere. As long as you don’t flaunt your wealth, it will be much easier to live well from now on!”

Xie Zhinuan let out a gentle sigh, “I have said all I can say, done all I can do, and from here on we owe nothing to each other. I have killed your husband and saved your son…”Her eyes began to redden slightly.
Xie Zhinuan turned her head away.
The woman still saw the redness in Xie Zhinuan’s eyes and the tears that were about to fall.
She understood instantly.
As Xie Zhinuan had said, her husband’s death was not wrongful.
There was no enmity to begin with, yet he came to murder. Would not the other party fight back? Xie Zhinuan had spared her once, and now she had saved her son, instructing her on what to do next.
“Thank you,” the woman said softly.
She went up to check on her son.
She saw him sweating profusely, a foul odor coming from his body, but he was no longer so hot, no longer in such discomfort.
She was surprised and amazed.
Joy filled her heart, alongside immense regret.
If only, if only…
But where are there so many if-onlys in the world!
Xie Zhinuan stepped forward to take the child’s pulse. His pulse had stabilized, the poison was resolved.
“Take him and go. The road ahead is yours to take, make of it what you will!”
The woman nodded her head.
She carried the child out the door, and at the threshold, gave a slight bow to Xie Zhinuan, her gaze calm, no longer filled with hatred but with peace and determination. Then she left without looking back.
Xie Zhinuan watched her, slowly sitting down in the chair, her heart gradually calming and becoming peaceful, until at last, it let go.
“Foolish girl, are there any more patients outside?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“No more, I sent them away, told them to come back tomorrow!”
Xie Zhinuan nodded her head, “Then let’s go back. I haven’t seen Ayi all morning, I miss him!”
The foolish girl laughed in response.
She left Kechanglai together with Xie Zhinuan.
After the second day of the new year passed, the third, fourth, and fifth days came quickly. There were quite a few seeking pulse checks, many came and came again, seeking treatment for their ailments. Xie Zhinuan thought about not performing pulse checks, focusing only on treating those who were ill.
The foolish girl went to post a notice and notified them one by one.
She felt that the young lady was too kind-hearted.
But if this could set the young lady’s mind at ease, then spending the silver had been worth it.
Moreover, she discovered that the young lady’s medical skills were excellent, and her prescriptions were very fine.
Still, many of the patients came for a tael of silver. There were few who wanted a prescription, except those who could no longer live on, those who could not afford to buy medicine, they would use the prescriptions provided by Xie Zhinuan.
Even then, most would still seek a doctor at Rongfu Hall.
When the doctors at Rongfu Hall saw the prescriptions, they immediately came looking, willingly assisting Xie Zhinuan. The doctor, over fifty years of age, was extremely respectful and gentle before Xie Zhinuan, speaking in a voice that was softer than soft.
Several times he asked Xie Zhinuan if she would accept apprentices.
It seemed that if Xie Zhinuan agreed, he would kneel right there and then.
