Su Binglan thought of something and asked Miao Zhizhi, “Do you know about the Ice Clan?”
‘The Ice Clan?’
Miao Zhizhi carefully considered it but still could not recall them. She shook her head and said, “I’ve never heard of them, but if there were one, perhaps my mother would know about it.”
Neither Gongsun MO nor Lei Tongtong had heard of the Ice Clan either. They also did not know that there were people like the Miao Tribe who could do such strange things. Just thinking about it made their hairs stand on ends.
“It’s okay if you don’t know about the Ice Clan. I was just asking a simple question.” Su Binglan did not want to burden her aunt.
Even so, Miao Zhizhi felt guilty because he knew too little and could not help her niece.
After removing the Gu from Lei Tongtong, Su Binglan gave her a pill and quickly bandaged the incision on the young girl’s arm. Then she pulled out the silver needles.
Lei Tongtong was anxious to sit up and felt dizzy the moment she did.
Gongsun MO saw this and forgot about the support tied to his leg. He lost his balance after jolting up and was about to fall when Miao Zhizhi caught him.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan supported Lei Tongtong and explained to Gongsun
MO, “Tongtong is okay. Her body has weakened since I extracted the Gu from her body. She’ll feel much better after resting and taking the antidote for two days.
“As for whether or not she can regain her ability to distinguish smells, that’s uncertain. We can only know after completely detoxifying Tongtong of the poison. ”
Gongsun MO was in disbelief after hearing his wife would recover completely in two days. ‘Can the antidote work that fast?’
Although he dared not believe it, he was more excited and happy that his wife was okay. No one knew how nervous he was just now as his heart was in his throat. He only dared to sigh in relief after Su Binglan reassured him.
Lei Tongtong looked at her husband’s teary eyes and knew he was worried. She said softly, “I’m okay, dear. Don’t worry.”
Gongsun MO approached her with his walking stick and sat by her bed. He held her hand and said, “Have a good rest.”
Lei Tongtong had not rested well recently, and Gongsun MO pitied her.
“You two should get some rest. Shout for me if you need anything.”
Gongsun MO respectfully told Su Binglan, “Thank you for helping us, Miss Su.”
“You’re welcome, Mo.’
Since it was getting late, Su Binglan told her aunt to go home and rest lest Su Fengmao became anxious.
Su Wenxiu saw his sister coming out and excitedly asked, “Did you really cure her of the Gu, Little Sister?!”
He was obsessed with learning medicine and wanted to garner more knowledge and skills.
Since Lei Tongtong was a girl and needed to remove her outerwear for acupuncture treatment, Su Binglan did not allow him to enter and learn. However, she later explained everything to Su Wenxiu in detail, and he listened attentively. He had also prepared a notebook to note everything dơn.
He suddenly thought of a question as he listened and asked, “Little Sister, isn’t that Silver Grass something only the Miao Tribe has? How did you get it?”
“Do you remember when 1 went to the capital to save you?”
“Of course, I remember. I might’ve did if not for you.”
Su Wenxiu was afraid then. He did not have much to wear and was scared for his life. He missed home, and just thinking about him made him sad. That feeling was indescribable, and he no longer wanted to travel.
Later, he started helping people, and it became his passion.
Su Binglan shook her head. “That’s not what I’m talking about. 1 meant I picked up the Silver Grass on the way to the capital. Thankfully, it came in handy this time,”
She knew the uses of Silver Grass the moment she saw it. However, it was highly toxic. Ordinary people would have gotten poisoned if they touched it but not Su Binglan.
She had always kept the Silver Grass in her pocket dimension, finally using it on Lei Tongtong.
Su Wenxiu widened his mouth in surprise. “You picked it up?”
“That’s right. No one was around, and I saw carriage tracks on the ground, so I
guess someone was transporting Silver Grass and dropped one.”
Su Wenxiu was puzzled. He asked, “B-But why would someone transport something as toxic as Silver Grass to the capital?”
Su Binglan never considered it then. However, her expression changed now that her brother had mentioned it.
Su Wenxiu became anxious. “What should we do then? Something like Silver Grass can harm many people if someone uses them to make poison. I haven’t studied grass yet, so I don’t know if I can develop antidotes.”
He felt he was responsible for researching the antidote for Silver Grass since he was a doctor.
In contrast to his nervousness and anxiety, Su Binglan was calm. “Don’t worry, Second Brother. I can cure mere Silver Grass poisoning.”
Then she raised her brows as if she had thought of another thing. “l finally know how the plague in the prefecture started. It has something to do with Silver Grass.’
Fortunately, Su Binglan had managed to develop an antidote in time. She did not have Lan Ruobing’s memories then and did not know Lan Ruozhu was her brother.
She only made the antidote because Baili Jinghua was in town with Baili Xihong. Su Binglan cured them, and they knew about the plague since they were from the prefecture.
When Luo Jin’an wanted to go to the prefecture, Su Binglan guessed why and gave him the antidote. However, the plague did not spread because of the antidote.
Now that she thought about it, she felt everything was connected.
Su Wenxiu sighed in relief when he heard his sister’s calm words. He smiled and said, “1 knew you were the best.”
Su Binglan always felt someone was weaving a web.
‘The Gongsuns, Silver Grass, Thundercloud Castle, the Gu inside Tongtong, and the plague are connected! I’m unsure who is behind these occurrences, but I’ll cut down whatever web they’re weaving!’
Su Binglan revealed a frigid expression as she thought about this.
There was an anxious knocking on the door as the two siblings talked. Su
Wenxiu was stunned. “Why is someone here so late at night? Are they looking for a doctor!”
Whenever someone knocked on the Su family’s door in the middle of the night, they would typically be looking for a doctor. Nonetheless, Su Wenxiu was always prepared to help.
He usually had his medicine box beside his bed to use at any time. He ran out and asked, “Is there something you need, sir?”
The man panted and said, “Please, save my wife. She’s in labor, but it’s lasted for a few hours. She has already fainted, and the midwife can’t do anything. I don’t know what else to do.’
The man trembled as he spoke, and his words were somewhat incoherent. It was evident he was nervous and afraid..
