Chapter 2272: Small Pill



Qiao Mei massaged her ears. It was really unlucky to encounter such a thing so early in the morning. However, the Huang family was really ruthless enough to "bring along" Old Master Huang. She did not know if they were really filial or just pretending.

Xu Kang brought out a chair from the house and set it down behind Qiao Mei. She whispered, "This is going to be a tough battle. You should sit down."

"It's still Sister Xu who knows me best~" Qiao Mei said as she sat down happily.

Her action made Huang Zhong very agitated. He pointed at Qiao Mei and scolded angrily, "How can anyone sit down in front of the dead! You're too disrespectful to my father! When my father was still alive, our two families were old friends! How can you look down on our family!"

"Is that so? I've never heard my grandfather mention this before though. Then why don't you go and look for my grandfather instead of coming to my house to behave so atrociously?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"It's all because of you! If not for you, my father would not have died so tragically!" Huang Zhong said bitterly.

"How did your father die?" Qiao Mei asked.

"He was poisoned!" Huang Zhong said.

"Disgusting! Get lost!" Xiao Zhuang shouted at them and pointed towards the end of the alley.

Huang Zhong stared at Qiao Mei and said, "Are you sure you won't give us the medicine? Our Huang family still has some connections in the capital. It's best if we don't have to fight to the death!"

"You need to make sure the connections are still live ones. Your Huang family is like a grasshopper after the autumn season. You won't be able to live for long, so what is this talk about connections? Besides, it's not a smart move to offend me for your sake," Qiao Mei said. "Just wait and see!" Huang Zhong left the alley with his family. Qiao Mei asked Xu Kang to pack some vegetables and fruits from home and send them to the neighbors. If not for these neighbors backing her up today, the Huang family would continue to cause a ruckus for a long time!

Qiao Mei hummed a tune as she returned to the house. Recently, in order to save the land and the poisoned children, they had used up most of the medicinal wine at home, so she needed to make more. At the same time, she wanted to develop something new. It was too troublesome to carry liquids around, so she wanted to see if she could come up with something that was more convenient to carry around.

Two days later, Qiao Mei produced a total of three vats of golden ginseng juice and the purity was even higher than before. She also made many small pills to try out. The effect of one small pill was similar to that of a small bottle of golden ginseng juice. She must try it out soon!

After two days of having close contact with ginseng, Qiao Mei looked radiant and her complexion had become much more rosy. She had recovered all the energy she expended to track down Tan Jing earlier.

"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone in the study rang.

Qiao Mei picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Qiao Mei, it's me. Grandfather has asked all of us to go to his house for a meeting. Something... has happened at home," Xia Wen said solemnly.
