I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 432: A Blessing in Disguise

Looking at the woman before him, he realized that she had saved his life.

As people get older, they become aware of their physical condition.

Even though he had his eyes closed, he could clearly hear the voices of the people around him.

Grandpa Su said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, young lady, for causing you such distress. On behalf of the Su family, I apologize to you."

Fang Xiaoxiao put away the silver needles and waved her hand in acknowledgment.

"Oh, sir, please don't say that. It's too much for me. If you want to thank someone, please thank Doctor Wan. After all, he's the one who brought us into the Su residence. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to help."

Old Master Su understood what he meant, so he stood up with the help of his maids and looked at Wan Wuyao.

"Have someone go to my room and fetch my personal jade pendant."

The maid nodded and left.

At this moment, Wan Wuyao turned to look at the awakened Old Master Su and stepped forward.

"Grandpa, you've finally woken up, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Grandpa Su waved his hand, leaned on his cane, stood up, looked around, and then looked at his good-for-nothing son and said coldly.

"Hmph, you bunch of bastards! If it weren't for Madam Fang and Doctor Wan, this old man would probably be on my death anniversary today."

These words terrified them so much that they all knelt on the ground in panic.

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. You're in great health; you'll live to be at least two or three hundred years old."

"Yes, yes, what my second brother said is what I was thinking too."

"What my brother said is what I was thinking too."

The three sons of the Su family flattered him resoundingly.

Old Master Su knew his son's character well, as well as this group of Su family relatives who were of little use, so he could only sigh slightly.

"Enough, enough. It's all fate. Get out of Su Su's room. We don't need you here."

Master Su wanted to say something more, but ultimately, under the oppressive power of his father, he could only follow the others out of the room.

The room finally quieted down.

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time. After telling the old man that she was going to see Miss Su, she led Li Wan'er straight to the bedside.

At this moment, Miss Su was covered in sweat, as if she were having a nightmare. Her head kept shaking from side to side, and her body began to twitch from time to time.

This was caused by a high fever resulting from severe illness during the plague.

Time was of the essence, so Fang Xiaoxiao took out silver needles and first sealed the important acupoints on his body before she began to examine his condition.

Fortunately, the disease did not spread too quickly and did not directly affect the heart.

Fang Xiaoxiao took out Banlangen pills from the medicine bag and instructed the maid to pour a bowl of warm water.

She dissolved the pills and originally intended to pinch Miss Su's lips to feed her the medicine, but she found that the other party was delirious with fever and could not open her mouth no matter what she did. Helpless, she decided to feed her the medicine mouth to mouth.

Fortunately, she had already driven the old man of the Su family and Wan Wuyao out of the room by this time; otherwise, people might have thought too much if they saw them.

Li Wan'er stood aside, watching all this with her big eyes.

Isatis root is not a miracle drug and cannot cure diseases quickly, but fortunately, she has made many improvements. She only needs to take it twice. If Miss Su can wake up in the middle of the night, it means that her body is fine.

Stepping out of the room, Fang Xiaoxiao touched her lips.

You know what, the lips of rich girls are so soft and smooth, even when they're sick it doesn't matter.

In theory, plagues are highly contagious, but some people have strong antibodies and are able to control the spread of the virus to a certain extent.

Just like this eldest daughter of the Su family.

After leaving the room, Fang Xiaoxiao made up her mind to discuss with the old man of the Su family whether they could join forces to treat the people of Suzhou who were infected with the plague.

When Wan Wuyao and the Su family patriarch saw her come out, they first inquired about the Su family's eldest daughter's condition. After receiving her reply that she was fine, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't mince words and spoke directly to Grandpa Su.

"Grandpa Su, I have an idea. I would like to join forces with your Su family to produce medicine to treat the plague and save the people of Suzhou."

Grandpa Su is not the kind of person who is greedy for money. For someone of his status, doing good deeds is the most meaningful thing he can do in his remaining time.

"Madam Fang, please don't be so polite. Since you care about the world, I, Su, am certainly willing to cooperate."

"Thank you, Master Su. As for the twenty thousand taels of silver you just mentioned, I certainly cannot accept it. Rather than giving it to us, I would prefer to use it to treat the poor people in the city."

Fang Xiaoxiao expressed her thoughts.

Grandpa Su did not stop him.

And so, the three hit it off immediately, and Wan Wuyao even decided to provide Fang Xiaoxiao with the medicinal herbs in his pharmacy for free, so that she could use them to make Banlangen (Isatis root) to treat the plague.

Russian qing.

In order to prove her suspicions, Fang Xiaoxiao decided to stay overnight in the room of the eldest daughter of the Su family so that she could have a medical check-up when the other party woke up.

Li Wan'er lay idly in front of the round table.

"Xiao Xiao, your performance this afternoon really impressed me. I thought you were a money-grubbing businesswoman."

Fang Xiaoxiao sat by the bedside of the eldest daughter of the Su family and took her pulse, then spoke with an air of superiority.

"That's true. Money is just a number to me now. I'm not interested in money at all."

"Hehehe, Xiaoxiao, you talk like an old man. If I hadn't known you for so long and understood your personality so well, I would have actually believed you."

Li Wan'er covered her mouth and teased her playfully.

Fang Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Just then, the eldest daughter of the Su family slowly woke up in bed.

The first thing the other person did upon waking up was to ask Fang Xiaoxiao about the current situation in Suzhou.

Fang Xiaoxiao gave the other party a general overview.

The eldest daughter of the Su family was very sad.

"I never imagined it would be so horrific; it completely exceeds my understanding of the epidemic situation in Suzhou."

Fang Xiaoxiao felt a sense of goodwill towards this soft-bodied woman. Her eyes lingered on her for a moment before she spoke.

"Miss Su is truly a living bodhisattva, with a heart full of concern for all living beings. I can't help but admire her greatly."

"You're joking, little sister. I'm just doing my bit."

Next, Fang Xiaoxiao recounted in detail how she saved the other person and eradicated the plague.

She told the other party not because she wanted to gain any benefits from him, but simply because she hoped to gain the support of this future head of the Su family.

Miss Su nodded and was about to get up.

Fang Xiaoxiao stopped them and poured a cup of tea from the round table.

"Are you thirsty or hungry? Have a cup of tea first, and someone will bring you some food in a little while."

The eldest daughter of the Su family nodded, accepted the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then said she wanted to get up and walk around.

Fang Xiaoxiao got up and returned to the round table, looking at the thousand taels of silver notes on the table.

This was money that Old Master Su had secretly slipped into Wan Wuyao's hand. Wan Wuyao, being a man of integrity, simply placed the money on the table and left.

"Sigh, I never expected that doing a good deed would lead to these problems. It's truly a blessing in disguise..."

Li Wan'er echoed.

"Who knows if it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise?"

"Smart! I didn't expect the princess to have such a strong memory. I almost forgot what she said."

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh at herself.
