Chapter 358 Heartbreak
Agarwood Pavilion, backyard.Su Jin, with nothing to do, was concocting medicine to pass the time.
Xingxing was beside her, looking downcast.
Her delicate face was full of guilt.
She had caused the young lady a significant financial loss.
At least ten thousand taels were lost.
After the incident at Prince Yu Mansion, upon returning, Xingxing sought the cause of her failure.
Indeed, she found it.
Since Su Jin didn’t give her poison, she decided to concoct it herself, as it seemed not too difficult.
But a good memory is not as reliable as taking notes, so Xingxing wrote down the steps.
That day during concoction, she followed her notes to grab the medicine.
Yes.
The note was on the table, and a gust of wind flipped it over a page.
Xingxing didn’t notice and mixed up two types of poisonous substances.
Thus, half of the poison she concocted used ingredients that caused redness and swelling, while the other half used itching ingredients.
When mixed together, it resulted in both redness and swelling.
The explosiveness of the poison doubled, but its lasting effect was insufficient; without treatment, it would subside in seven or eight days.
Originally, only Su Jin could provide the antidote for her poison.
Selling the antidote would surely bring income.
Now that no one came to buy the antidote, it was naturally a financial loss.
Although Su Jin didn’t mind, Xingxing felt guilty in her heart.
At the entrance to the backyard.o ensure Old Duke Chong’s safety, he couldn’t drive away all of Duke Chong’s people, as Old Duke Chong was, after all, his father.
Su Jin looked at Doctor Li and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li, for coming to inform me of this matter. I will think of a way to resolve this problem."
Su Jin thanked him, leaving Doctor Li a bit at a loss.
He became even more confused.
The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion was making every effort to save Old Duke Chong.
Yet, Duke Chong secretly examined the medicine that Old Duke Chong took.
Both behaved strangely.
Zilan Garden.
Xie Jinyu was sitting on a small couch, crying.
The County Princess position within reach was gone, how could she not be heartbroken?
Xie Jinxiu was comforting her beside her.
Shangguan Feng’er was also there.
Princess Nanzhang went to Duke Chong’s Mansion to find out from Duke Chong what had happened at Marquis Dongxiang’s Mansion, so Shangguan Feng’er came along to visit Xie Jinyu.
On the surface, the two people consoled Xie Jinyu not to be angry, but in their hearts, they were quite pleased.
If it were just an empty County Princess title, Shangguan Feng’er wouldn’t envy it at all; her father was Duke Chong, and wherever she went, who dared not to curry favor with her?
To be frank, except for that unruly female bandit, even Princess Shouning didn’t dare speak loudly to her in the entire Capital City.
But, if it were a substantive County Princess title with fiefdom, that would be a different story.
The fact that such a County Princess position vanished was exactly what they hoped for, as they were destined not to have it.
Moreover, knowing Xie Jinyu had a boastful nature, if she genuinely got a County Princess title, wouldn’t she flaunt it before them?
It was just as well.
Of course, the joy stayed hidden in their hearts, showing none of it on their faces.
"Elder sister, don’t be sad, the Empress Dowager really cares about you. Knowing you’ve been wronged, she will surely think of a way to have the Emperor bestow the County Princess title upon you," Xie Jinxiu consoled.
"It’s not that easy," Xie Jinyu said, reluctant.
"When cousin is made the Crown Prince and eventually ascends to the throne as Emperor, let alone a small County Princess, he can even confer you as a Commandery Princess or a Princess if he wishes," Shangguan Feng’er said.
Shangguan Feng’er painted a grand picture, sprinkled with sesame seeds, fragrant and enticing, perfectly suiting Xie Jinyu’s taste.
Her tears gradually ceased.
