The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 935: She Is A Pharmacist

"Father, you don’t have to know about my private matter." Si Tang stated calmly.

Si Wuntian sighed while pinching the area between his eyes, looking somewhat tired.

"Si Tang, can you be reasonable?" Si Wuntian asked.

"Father, I don’t understand what you’re talking about." Si Tang said while pretending to be ignorant.

"I know you are angry because I took a concubine. But that happened a long time ago." Si Wuntian said helplessly.

"Father, I don’t care if you want to take hundreds of concubines. That is your choice." Si Tang replied indifferently.

"You..." Si Wuntian sighed again in frustration. "You may go."

"I am leaving first." Si Tang bowed her head before leaving the hall.

When she was going out, she saw Mei Lijuan approaching. She deliberately ignored Mei Lijuan as if the woman did not exist.

The maid standing behind Mei Lijuan could not help but complain to Mei Lijuan.

"Young Lady Si is too rude. How can she not greet you after seeing you? You are her elder." The maid said indignantly.

"No need to be angry about that. Have you inquired what I asked you earlier?" Mei Lijuan asked.

"Yes, Madam." The maid nodded.

Just then, they arrived outside the hall.

Mei Lijuan adjusted her expression instantly, replacing the cold look on her face with a gentle and concerned smile.

She then stepped inside.

"Husband." Mei Lijuan smiled as she greeted her husband.

Si Wuntian raised his head when he heard her voice.

"Lijuan." Si Wuntian also smiled when he saw Mei Lijuan.

Mei Lijuan walked toward him gracefully.

"I heard that you summoned Tang’er earlier." Mei Lijuan said softly.

Si Wuntian sighed as soon as he heard that.

"That child..." He shook his head.

Mei Lijuan’s eyes flickered slightly. "What happened?" She asked with concern.

"She moved her mother into her own courtyard and is emptying her private vaults for some unknown reason." Si Wuntian said.

Mei Lijuan looked surprised.

"Oh? Tang’er must be very worried about Elder Sister."

Her tone was gentle, but inside her heart, she was sneering.

Worried?

More like she was making unnecessary trouble.

Si Wuntian rubbed his forehead again. "She refuses to tell me anything."

Mei Lijuan sighed softly. "That child has always been very stubborn."

Then she added carefully. "But perhaps she simply wants to fulfil her filial duty."

Si Wuntian did not respond immediately.

However, the slight frown on his forehead gradually eased.

Seeing this, Mei Lijuan lowered her gaze slightly to hide the cold smile that appeared in her eyes.

Si Tang...

If you want to play this game, then let’s see how long you can last.

After talking to Si Wuntian for a while, she excused herself to leave. Si Wuntian nodded and allowed her to leave.

So, they left the area and returned to their courtyard. When Mei Lijuan entered the courtyard, she saw several maids cleaning the room. She signalled to her personal maid to ask the cleaning maids to leave. Soon, only her personal maids remained inside the room.

"Madam, Young Lady Si has been acting these days very strangely." The maid said cautiously.

"Strangely?" Mei Lijuan repeated with a faint chuckle.

"I heard that she has been sending people everywhere to look for herbs." The maid reported.

"Oh?" Mei Lijuan narrowed her eyes slightly. "What kind of herbs?"

"I am not very sure. But I heard they are very rare medicinal herbs." The maid answered.

Mei Lijuan remained silent for a moment.

Her fingers slowly tightened around the handkerchief in her hand.

Rare medicinal herbs...

A faint trace of uneasiness appeared in her heart.

Could it be...

No.

That woman had already been poisoned for so long. There was no way she could recover so easily.

Even the pharmacist they had arranged had confirmed that her condition would only worsen over time.

Mei Lijuan quickly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

"She can search all she wants." Mei Lijuan said calmly. Then she added. "There is no way she can find a cure."

"Madam is right." The maid nodded in agreement.

"So, tell me. What did you find out about that girl?" Mei Lijuan asked.

"She is the girl who came back together with Si Tang and Madam Zhang. It seems that the reason they left Lotus City earlier was to bring this girl back here." The maid reported everything she had discovered.

Mei Lijuan lowered her gaze and thought about the matter for a moment. After a short silence, she came to a conclusion.

"She is a pharmacist." Mei Lijuan said slowly.

"Pharmacist? That young girl?" The maid looked surprised when she heard Mei Lijuan’s speculation.

"Hmm... Remember Yao Huifang’s daughter?" Mei Lijuan asked.

"Yes, I remember." The maid nodded.

"That child was seriously sick a few months ago. However, she suddenly recovered about a month ago." Mei Lijuan said thoughtfully. "Yao Huifang must have introduced that girl to Si Tang. Si Tang is probably desperate to cure her mother, so she is willing to try anything."

"Then... Madam, what should we do?" The maid became worried. "That young girl must have some skills. The Zhang family’s daughter recovered because of that girl. Is our plan going to be ruined?"

"I will not allow it to be ruined." Mei Lijuan said firmly.

Then, she gave an order. "Bring me paper and a brush. I am going to write a letter."

The maid immediately followed the order. Once Mei Lijuan received the items, she quickly began writing a letter. After finishing it, she folded the letter neatly and handed it to the maid.

"Go and send this letter to that person." Mei Lijuan ordered.

"Yes, Madam." The maid nodded before leaving the room.
