“Master, what does he want to do?”
“It’s not about what he wants to do; it’s about what the people behind him want. Killing him is a bit early. Next time, get me someone alive.”
“What about this one?”
“Get rid of him, far away. Make sure nobody can find him. It’s even better if wild animals take care of him.’
“Yes, Master.”
The head sheep disappeared into the night. Qiao Mai carefully held the packet of medicine, a laxative mixed with musk.
When used simultaneously by pregnant women, it could destabilize the fetus, leading to a miscarriage.
Who could be so malicious to harm her grandchild?
Qiao Mai looked up at the starry sky, vanished in an instant, and went to the Liu family as she suspected them the most.
The Liu family’s courtyards were mostly dark, except for one where a light was still on.
Qiao Mai silently approached the roof of the illuminated room, using her mental power to scan inside.
A man paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally glancing at the door as if waiting for something.
Since her cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm, her soul-searching technique had advanced, ensuring no harm to the person’s brain.
Qiao Mai decisively used her mental power to render the man unconscious and then entered the room.
She crouched down, placing her hand on the man’s head. After a while, she gently withdrew her hand.
It was indeed the Liu family’s doing. She gave her formula to other medical halls, causing the prices of those two medicines to drop. They held a grudge for it.
What a prestigious medical family, a healer saving lives!
Qiao Mai stared at the man on the ground. Suddenly, she used her nails to cut the major artery in his neck.
“Debts will be repaid, and there’s a debtor for every crime. With how ignorant the Liu family is, I shall send you to meet the King of Hell. If you don’t repent, we’ll settle scores on their heads.”
Given her temperament, knowing the truth tonight would undoubtedly result in the deaths of their entire family. However, considering the Liu family’s history of saving lives, Qiao Mai could spare them this time.
But the mastermind must die!
Not dying would not be enough to quench her anger. He had to die for her soul-searching technique; he must die!
The eldest son of the Liu family died that night!
A while ago, Yuan Jiaqi would know whenever Qiao Mai went out at night. She hadn’t touched his acupuncture points again. She did almost everything in the open, making sure not to hide anything from him. However, she wouldn’t mention things she didn’t want to talk about.
“You’re back?”
“Yeah, someone infiltrated Tingfeng Pavilion tonight. I found a medicine on him.”
“What? Wasn’t that person here to kill?”
“Sort of. He wanted to poison our daughter-in-law and disrupt her pregnancy.”
“What kind of vicious person would think of this?”
“Royal Physician Liu’s eldest son. I’ve already dealt with him.”
“Good riddance. He deserved it. A healer should save lives, not harm them. Is it because of the prescriptions you gave them?”
“Yes, once I had them make the medicine, I asked them to lower the price, although they couldn’t provide it for free. When I made the prescription public, they couldn’t make as much money and harbored resentment.”
“That’s absurd. They dared to hold a grudge against you?”
“I hope the Liu family learns a lesson from this. Otherwise, I’ll kill each one of them.”
“Wife, I support you.”
“Rest for a while. It’ll be daylight soon. We have children-in-law now; we can’t be too casual.”
“Okay.”
The couple took a short nap. The distant sound of fireworks filled the air.
All the children gathered in their courtyard, waiting for their parents. When Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi came out, they were all kneeling in the yard.
“Father, Mother, Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year. Come, we have red envelopes for everyone.”
“Thank you, Father and Mother.”
The children stood up, received their red envelopes, and tucked them away.
“Father, Mother, shall we pay our respects to Grandfather and Grandmother?”
“Have you paid New Year’s greetings to Uncle Wang and Auntie Wang?”
“Not yet. We want to pay respects to you first.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
Wang Zongsheng’s family had arrived a few days ago, living in the guest courtyard. Madam Wang knew that due to Jiaru’s affair, they upset Qiao Mai last year, so she behaved obediently.
Everyone gathered at Old Master Wang’s place to exchange New Year greetings. The children received red envelopes, and the family sat down for a meal.
Qiao Mai stood up. “It’s the New Year. We’ve been here for two years. I bet you all miss Tianshui Town. Am I right?”
“Yes! Even though it’s cold there, we miss the snow, the climate, and the feeling of sitting around a warm stove.”
“Alright, follow me.”
Everyone looked curious, and Qiao Mai smiled. “I have a gift for you.” Chuan’er rolled his eyes. “Mother, is it inside that newly built enclosure?” “Smart boy. I’ve kept it locked. I wanted to give you all a surprise.”
Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi led the way, followed by Old Master and Mistress Wang. The children surrounded them while Wang Zongsheng and his wife walked at the end.
Reaching the courtyard gate, Old Mistress Wang pointed, “I remember this used to be a bamboo grove?”
“Yes, I had it transformed.’
Qiao Mai explained while unlocking the gate. Once the gate opened, they saw the scenery inside.
A vast expanse of white snow greeted them, leaving everyone puzzled as they followed Qiao Mai inside.
“Heavens, is this snow?”
They exclaimed simultaneously.
“I had them cut down the bamboo, piled up the soil to make a slope, and brought snow from the north to cover it.”
Old Master Wang cast a skeptical glance at Qiao Mai, thinking that her words were tall tales meant to deceive others. Nevertheless, the picturesque view in his eyes was undeniably beautiful, reminiscent of Tianshui Town.
With disbelief in her eyes, Old Mistress Wang grabbed a handful of snow and carefully examined it.
“It’s real snow! Girl, you’re too incredible.”
“When you miss home, come here to see and play in the snow.”
Qiao Mai picked up a nearby snowboard, tossed it into the air, leaped gracefully, and demonstrated how to play with a ski pole in hand.
The children were all wide-eyed. “Wow, that’s amazing! We want to learn too.”
After demonstrating, Qiao Mai said, “Follow us to pay New Year’s visits first. When we return, we can figure out how to play. Is that okay?”
“Okay!”
She came to Old Mistress Wang. “Sorry. I’ll build a few small houses here for you and Grandpa to enjoy tea and the snow.”
“Haha, that’s good. I can already imagine wearing winter clothes in here during the summer.”
Qiao Mai looked at everyone. “Let’s keep our family matters to ourselves.”
“Mom, we understand.”
She glanced at Miss Mu. “You have a special condition now; you can watch the snow but can’t play.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Qiao Mai distributed keys to everyone present and then handed a key to Madam Wang.
“I consider you all as family. Whatever I have, I’ll share with you, and I’ll do my best to help.”
Madam Wang lowered her head with a remorseful expression. “I’m sorry for what happened before.”
“Because you are a mother, and I am too, I won’t hold it against you. We are still one family.”
“Okay.”
“Alright, everyone, do what needs to be done. If you have free time, come over.”
The children reluctantly left, following Yuan Jiaqi and Qiao Mai to go out for New Year’s visits.
Unlike last year, when they only visited the Duke’s residence, this year they added the Xiao family to their list, observing proper etiquette on the groom’s side to avoid misunderstandings..
