Chapter 39: You Can Treat Illnesses?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Lin did not waste any time. He whipped the ox's butt a few times and quickly left Madam Ma far behind.
Madam Sun said worriedly, "Will Madam Ma be alright? Isn't it not good for us to leave her like this?"
"Mother, you can't be polite to a scoundrel like Madam Ma."
"But…" Madam Sun was still worried. "I'm afraid she'll come to our house. She has five sons!"
In terms of fighting, no one was a match for Madam Ma's five sons.
"Auntie, don't worry. I'm here."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Her five sons are all good-looking but useless. I can knock them all down with one hand."
Yu Xiaolian smiled and gave Jiang Lin a thumbs up. "Brother Jiang Lin, when we enter the city later, you can eat whatever you want. I'll treat you!"
Jiang Lin laughed. "It's done. I was just craving the shortbread from the Wang family's shop in town. Buy me a catty. How about that?"
Yu Xiaolian patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and said generously, "No problem!"
She remembered that there were shortbreads in her supermarket too. There were ones that weighed one catty and cost eight yuan per catty. There were also independently packaged ones that cost one yuan each.
Since Jiang Lin liked to eat this, he would have a lifetime supply in the future.
The three of them rode the ox cart and quickly arrived at the market in town. However, due to Madam Ma's matter, they were delayed on the road for a long time. There were no good seats in the market.
He could only park the ox cart at the end of the market and station himself in a sparsely populated place.
Madam Sun went to the embroidery shop and bought some things. She asked Yu Xiaolian to sell baskets here.
Jiang Lin also carried the pheasants and wild rabbits and asked the restaurant if they wanted wild game.
After a while, not a single basket was sold. Yu Xiaolian didn't want to look after these baskets and bask in the sun for the entire morning.
She took out some eggs from her interspace. "I'm selling baskets. Six copper coins for one and fifteen copper coins for three. If you buy three baskets, you'll get an egg."
With Yu Xiaolian's shout, someone really came over.
"This basket is beautifully woven and not expensive. The egg is also worth two copper coins. It's worth it. Give me three baskets."
Yu Xiaolian happily sold three baskets and gave him an egg.
Anyway, there were eggs in her interspace. The ancient people probably couldn't tell the difference between wild eggs and domesticated eggs.
If one person bought it, there would be a second one. Soon after, all the baskets were sold out. Some heard the news and rushed over to buy them, but they did not manage to buy them.
Yu Xiaolian put away the copper coins she had received and didn't even check.
Madam Sun and Jiang Lin didn't come back. Yu Xiaolian was bored and led the ox cart to a remote willow tree. Then, she lay on the ox cart.
Just as she lay down, she heard a voice filled with surprise. "Sister! Sister who knows magic."
Yu Xiaolian stood up and took a closer look. It was actually that pitiful Su Jingyue. However, he was not alone this time. Behind him was a young man in white with a refined aura. However, the young man's face was covered by a white veil, so his face could not be seen clearly.
However, Yu Xiaolian, who read the plot, had long guessed who he was.
She did not expect the wise Grand Secretary to look like this when he was young. He looked soft and weak. With a veil, he looked like a young girl.
"Sister, this is my brother. He's allergic to dust and can only wear a mask when he comes out. However, my brother isn't ugly. He's very good-looking."
Yu Xiaolian naturally knew that Su Jingchen was good-looking. He was even more sickly beautiful than the male lead, Jun Mobai. Unfortunately, his body was too weak. He only had a good appearance, and he had never contributed to the gene pool of humans.
Uh… maybe he wanted to contribute too, but he didn't have the strength.
Cough cough… she had gone astray.
"Sister, it's great to see you here. You wrote a letter to me last time. I didn't believe you and even said that you were lying to a child."
Su Jingyue held Yu Xiaolian's hand. "Sister, quickly take out a piece of candy for Brother and let him take a look!"
Seeing Su Jingyue's anxious expression, Yu Xiaolian touched the top of his head. "Whether you believe it or not is all up to you. I suggest that you make the first move against the Yao Corporation. If you can't bear to do it, pretend that I didn't say anything."
Su Jingchen stared at Yu Xiaolian without blinking. "How do you expect me to believe you?"
"Then what do you have to do to make you believe me?" Yu Xiaolian asked.
"Just as Jing Yue said, I'll believe you if you take out the candy."
This was simple. Yu Xiaolian raised her palm and a strawberry-flavored hard candy appeared in her palm.
Su Jingyue took it and looked at Yu Xiaolian fawningly. "Sister, can you give me a few more pieces?"
Yu Xiaolian planned to hug Su Jingchen's thick leg. This was also the only person with the greatest potential that Yu Xiaolian could come into contact with so far.
She had to build a good relationship with Su Jingchen before he had a chance to get close to Jun Yian.
With Jun Yian as the future emperor, she no longer had to be afraid of her nephew, Jun Mobai.
Perfect!
Yu Xiaolian naturally would not reject Su Jingyue's small request to get more candy.
She took out a large handful of candy from the supermarket and put it in Su Jingyue's pocket. "Eat it. There's enough."
Su Jingchen was stunned by Yu Xiaolian's actions, but he still tried his best to remain calm. "Who are you?"
"I'm Yu Xiaolian."
"How can you predict the future?"
"Like your brother said, I can do magic."
Yu Xiaolian jumped down from the ox cart and walked to Su Jingchen's side.
This kid was clearly only a year older than her and was still an invalid. Why was he so much taller than her?
It was not fair!
"Xiaolian…"
Hearing Jiang Lin's shout, Yu Xiaolian hurriedly waved her hand and replied, "I'm here…"
"If you can't be ruthless to the Yao Corporation, please give yourself a way out. I quite like this brat and don't want him to die."
Sigh, this future minister was still very young and had a soft heart. It was reasonable that he could not kill his pregnant stepmother.
Everyone learned from their mistakes. She hoped that Su Jingchen would not have to sacrifice Su Jingyue to advance himself.
"Xiaolian, I've finished selling the game. Auntie bought a lot of things and is waiting for us over there. Shall we drive over to pick her up?"
Jiang Lin was about to untie the rope tied to the tree when he saw a little boy sitting on the ox cart. He turned around and looked at Yu Xiaolian. "Whose child is this?"
"Jing Yue, let's go!"
Su Jingchen walked over and carried Su Jingyue down from the ox cart. Su Jingyue pouted. It was not easy for him to climb up, but he was taken down so quickly.
"Wait!" Yu Xiaolian called out to Su Jingchen, who was about to leave.
"This is for your asthma."
Yu Xiaolian took out one of the pills she had made last time and handed it to Su Jingchen.
If she didn't give him some benefits, she wouldn't be able to receive his help in the future.
Su Jingchen frowned. "You know how to treat illnesses?"
He was born with a weak body, so practicing martial arts since he was young was useless. Once his asthma acted up, it was as if someone had grabbed his throat and he could not breathe.
Su Jingchen stared at the pill Yu Xiaolian was holding. Could it be that people who knew magic could treat illnesses without taking their pulse?
