2993 Mistake
The two of them glanced at the old man and asked: “Is our Master home?”
“Yes, yes, she is always home. I will take you to her.” Elder Mei said with a smile and let them in. After he closed the door, he led them to the front hall.
“Hehe, please sit down here and rest while I go and ask her to come over.” Elder Mei said and gestured for them to sit down. Then he went and instructed the servants to serve them tea before he walked over to Feng Jiu’s courtyard.
When Leng Hua was walking towards the front courtyard, he saw the maid carrying tea. Upon hearing that there were guests in the mansion, and they were his Master’s disciples, he took the tea from the maid and delivered it himself.
When he came to the front hall, he saw two middle-aged men sitting inside. Both of them were dressed in gray clothes. Though they looked inconspicuous, their imposing manner couldn’t be ignored.
“Please have a cup of tea first!” Leng Hua smiled and served tea to the guests. At the same time, he glanced at them discreetly.
Si Que and Mu Xin couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw a young man come in. Their eyes fell on Leng Hua, and when they saw that he was outstanding in temperament, appearance and strength, they asked: “What’s your name?”
“My name is Leng Hua.” He replied in a warm voice: “I’m the steward of the mansion.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two of them flickered slightly. Steward? How did such a young man become the steward? When they saw that their Master hadn’t arrived, they chatted with Leng Hua in the front hall.
In the back courtyard, Feng Jiu was dispensing medicine and doing experiments. Elder Mei walked in quickly and said: “Young Mistress, there are two people in the front hall. One said he is Si Que and the other said he is Mu Xin, and that they are looking for their Master!”
Feng Jiu was busy with the matters at hand, and so, without raising her head, she said: “Let them sit for a while. I will go there when I’m done.”
Elder Mei poked his head around and watched, but he didn’t leave. Instead, he asked curiously: “What are these things?”
“Try it and you’ll find out.”
When he heard this, Elder Mei couldn’t help but leant forward and smelt it curiously. Upon seeing some coloured pills beside him, he asked: “What kind of medicinal pills are these? Why are the colours so strange?”
He didn’t hear the commotion of her refining pills in the mansion, so they should be minor items? Was it sugar? Or was it medicine? Or poison?
While he thought about it, he couldn’t help but pick one up and looked at it. After he examined the pill for a long time, he was still unable to determine what it was, though the smell of the medicinal pill was very fragrant. At this time, while he was still looking at the pill, he was also retreating at the same time. Suddenly, he stepped on something and slipped and fell backwards. His whole body fell backwards and the medicinal pill in his hand flew up in the air. While he exclaimed, his mouth opened and the medicinal pill that had been thrown up in the air fell into his mouth.
“Ahem!” He swallowed and his eyes widened, then his hands wrapped around his neck as if he was trying to cough up the medicinal pill.
Feng Jiu, who was at the table, looked slightly startled, but she couldn’t help but chuckle: “I didn’t know you were so impatient to help me test the medicine.”
Elder Mei swallowed as he felt the medicinal pill melt away. He couldn’t help but ask anxiously: “Young Mistress, what kind of medicinal pill did I just take? What is it used for?”
“How would I know what medicinal pill you ate? I wasn’t even paying attention.” Feng Jiu said with an innocent face. Then she looked at him with a smile: “Besides, these are my newly refined medicinal pills, the grade is relatively low, and I didn’t even have time to test the medicine! I don’t know what the effects of the pills are.”
Upon hearing Feng Jiu’s words, Elder Mei swallowed and said: “Surely it isn’t poison
But, what effect will it have?”
