Chapter 524: The Name of the Medicine

“I’ve been deceived. You can’t arrest me when this bitch has tried to lie to me. I’m only doing this out of my love for her! Don’t you see that?”

Liu Zhi clasped his hands together as he turned to face the police. His face was clouded over with desperation and humiliation.

Cheng Yan could only smile at the sight. “If you really want to sentence him, then you’ll naturally need some evidence. Why don’t you collect the vase on the ground? I can assure you that his fingerprints are all over the surface.”

Hearing this, the older man already knew that he was doomed. He quickly turned to look at Grandma Xu, bowing his head.

“Mom, I already know how much I’ve messed up. It’s my fault! Please don’t let them take me away. If I go to jail, it would ruin my reputation—I’d lose everything! Do you really want Xu Hong to suffer in jail with me?”

Suddenly, he added, “Why don’t we just settle this matter privately?”

Grandma Xu turned her head, no longer looking in his direction.

Cheng Yan shot a look at the officers, and they were about to take them outside.

However, before they could, Xu Xuan interrupted, “Wait!”

Xu Hong’s eyes flashed with hope and happiness. She nodded eagerly. “I knew you’re such a well-behaved child. You don’t want me to go to jail, right?”

“Hm?” She shrugged in reply. “I was going to say how you guys should pay for the ambulance first.”

In the end, Liu Zhi begrudgingly paid the workers. He even gave a few hundred yuan to Grandma Xuas a token of respect. He flashed a glare at the young woman before turning away.

Qin Jing was surprised.

When did Xu Xuan become courageous enough to ask them for money?

Xu Xuan handed the bills to Yao Tang. “Here you go. Thank you for your service.”

However, the latter didn’t take it. Instead, she waved her hand. “You should keep it for yourself,” she said calmly.

After Qin Jing and the others had finished dealing with the police officers, they made their way out of the Xu Family home. In the end, Yao Tangmade no move to take Xu Xuan’s money.

“Ah, it’s all thanks to them we’re here now.”

Grandma Xu sighed, staring at their departing figures.

“And she didn’t even accept the money.” Xu Xuan pursed her lips.

“Wait for the weekend. Buy yourself some noodles and chestnuts. I’ll make some chestnut cakes for you to eat with them. It’s still a good enough gift.”

From the way they were dressed, it was obvious that they didn’t lack any money.

Therefore, it was best for them to make some treats and send them over instead.

“All right.” Xu Xuan nodded and grabbed the prescription that Yao Tanghad written down earlier before handing it to her grandmother.

“Grandma, she has actually written a prescription for you. I’ll go to the pharmacy to buy some herbs and brew the medicine for you myself.”

Grandma Xu’s health hasn’t been good ever since. It’s why Xu Xuan had been used to brewing Chinese medicine for her.

When she looked at this prescription just now, she found that many of the things Yao Tang had written down were already familiar to her. “Why don’t you take a look?”

Grandma Xu took the paper from her granddaughter’s hand and read through them, line by line.

Suddenly, her entire body trembled. In fact, she was shaking too much that she almost dropped the paper. Xu Xuan immediately grabbed a hold of her.

“Grandma, what’s wrong?”

The old woman immediately came to her senses. “It’s nothing, I’m just…” She took a deep breath.

She gazed at the prescription again, stopping at the medicinal herb that Yao Tang had written down.

She had seen that handwriting before too.

Could it be a coincidence?

Could they have crossed paths before?

Grandma Xu looked down again and glanced at the names of the other herbs. However, she still couldn’t see anything that would connect her to Yao Tang.

Sensing Xu Xuan’s worried gaze, she closed her eyes and shook her head. “Atractylodes.”

The younger woman shifted in her seat, concerned. “Grandma?” She tugged on her arm. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Grandma Xu shook her head. “Invite Tangtangover for a meal in the future. I’d like to get to know her.”

Although Xu Xuan was surprised, she slowly nodded. “Okay.”
