Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Outcome
"Mom, isn’t this a bit too fast? And is the Zeng Family really serious? How come they’re suddenly planning to get married?"
Hearing her daughter’s concerns, Ding Yuejun quickly replied, "Don’t worry, the Zeng Family is serious. Also, Jiahe’s age is an even number this year; if they don’t get married this year, they’d have to wait until the year after next. That’s why they’re rushing to get married before the end of the year."
"But..."
However, before Yiyi could finish her sentence, Ding Yuejun interrupted her, "Alright, you’re just a kid; don’t ask too many questions. We just need to happily send your sister off on the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month."
Seeing Ding Yuejun’s response, Yiyi didn’t ask further, planning to investigate the matter herself, as she was still uneasy.
When the weekend came, Yiyi went to the medicine shop and sought out Guo Ming, wanting him to investigate the matter.
Although Guo Ming furrowed his brow, he didn’t refuse in the end. "Come back tomorrow."
Yiyi understood what he meant, but she wasn’t in a rush. "Master Guo, take your time, no need to pressure yourself too much."
However, Guo Ming gave Yiyi a sidelong glance, looking rather disdainful.
Seeing Guo Ming’s expression, Yiyi remained silent, feeling completely disdained.
The next day, Yiyi went back to the medicine shop, where Guo Ming was already waiting for her. "Take a look, information from the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi picked up the information on the table and read it. By the time she reached the last entry, her face was filled with surprise, followed by anger. "The Zeng Family has gone too far."
Guo Ming didn’t say a word, his expression calm.
After her initial anger, Yiyi slowly calmed down. Realizing that her mother and sister knew but didn’t tell her, Yiyi understood that they were aware of the situation.
They probably thought that, as a student, it wasn’t appropriate to tell her about it.
At this moment, Guo Ming stood up.
"Since I’ve found out what you wanted, I’m going home to sleep now."
Hearing Guo Ming’s words, Yiyi snapped back to reality and decided to go back and talk to her sister.
Just then, Mo Ping walked in.
"Little boss, as you instructed, I’ve gathered a batch of medicine seeds, and also got some rather peculiar herbs. See if they’re useful; if not, just throw them away. They were freebies with the seeds anyway."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi took two bags from Mo Ping.
One bag contained seeds, and the other contained herbs. Yiyi first examined the seeds, then opened the bag of herbs.
Seeing the herbs inside, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
These herbs were rare, not easily found, and even if one did find them, they wouldn’t know their use. However, Yiyi did.
These herbs were ingredients for the Jade Fragrance Pill, which she always thought was a mythical pill from books. Now, seeing these herbs, she was eager to try making the legendary Jade Fragrance Pill.
Thinking of this, Yiyi felt excited, clutching the bag with a smile, she said to Mo Ping, "You did well."
Feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, Mo Ping chuckled and said, "As long as you’re happy. Don’t worry, I’ll keep looking for herb seeds and bring back any suitable ones."
Yiyi smiled and said, "Great, as long as they’re herb seeds, I want them."
"Got it."
After finishing up, Yiyi left the medicine shop. Upon returning home and seeing that Mo Xiaohong hadn’t returned yet, she went straight to her room.
Locking the door, Yiyi entered the space.
Seeing the herbs in the space, she was amazed. She hadn’t been in here for a while, and the original Lingzhi had sprouted many small Lingzhi, while the Sanqi, white atractylodes, Huang Jing, and other herbs were thriving, looking like they’ve been growing for decades.
The most surprising thing for Yiyi was the half-human-tall tree at the center. Originally, it only had leaves, but now it was full of small green berries.
The berries were tiny, and their use was unknown.
Out of curiosity, Yiyi picked one and, as she studied it closely, a sudden flash of insight told her that the green berries were for refining herbs. Adding one to each batch would significantly enhance the medicinal effects.
"Is it really true?"
Yiyi muttered to herself.
The idea had just popped into her head, but she wasn’t sure if it could truly refine herbs.
Quickly, she thought of the herbs Mo Ping had given her, and looking at the berry in her hand, she decided to try it the next day.
Thinking about the berry’s potential, Yiyi felt excited. Her hands moved quickly, planting all of Mo Ping’s herb seeds before leaving the space.
When Yiyi reached the living room, Ding Yuejun asked with a puzzled expression, "Yiyi, why did it take you so long to come out of your room? Were you taking a nap?"
Yiyi sheepishly replied, "Yes, I took a nap."
While they were talking, Mo Xiaohong returned, and seeing her sister’s return, Yiyi seized an opportunity to speak to her privately.
"Sister, the Zeng Family has gone too far. Knowing full well about Zeng Jiahe’s health issues, they still want you to marry quickly."
Seeing that Yiyi was aware of the issue, Mo Xiaohong felt a little helpless and couldn’t help asking, "Did Mom tell you?"
Yiyi shook her head. "Mom’s been keeping it from me. I found out from the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohong gently tapped Yiyi’s forehead and said, "You..."
But seeing that Yiyi already knew, Mo Xiaohong didn’t hide her thoughts anymore, earnestly repeating what she had discussed with Ding Yuejun.
Yiyi fell silent after hearing this.
Although she understood the logic, she still felt slightly wronged for her sister.
"Yiyi, honestly, I don’t know when it happened, but I started liking Zeng Jiahe too. His feelings for me are clear, and it’s truly been a journey for us to be together. It’s fate."
Hearing this, Yiyi stopped herself from saying more and sincerely wished her, "Sister, I wish you happiness."
"Thank you."
Mo Xiaohong, full of tenderness, replied.
The next day, instead of going to the medicine shop first, Yiyi went to a jewelry store to have some gemstones she had selected previously processed as a wedding gift for Mo Xiaohong.
After taking care of this, Yiyi went to the pharmacy’s preparation room to start making the Jade Fragrance Pill.
