Chapter 8 Hand-made Elixir

Chapter 8 Hand-made Elixir

Looking for me?

Jiang Yutang's brow twitched, instinctively thinking that the other party had come to settle scores with her. Although the soul that was choking her wasn't hers, she was unfortunately using this body at the moment.

Seeing that she was dawdling and unwilling to leave, Cheng Daier impatiently went up and pulled her.

"Just leave, it's not like I'm going to eat you."

"Stop!" Jiang Huaiyu stepped between the two, shielding Jiang Yutang behind her. "Where are you taking her? Can't you see my little sister is unwilling?"

"Lanzhou is awake. Should I call her over to check on her condition?"

Faced with Cheng Daier's self-righteous demeanor, Jiang Huaiyu was not to be outdone and imitated her, saying, "Everyone knows that your family doesn't like my little sister. Who knows if she'll do something bad."

The two's back-and-forth arguing attracted Jiang Songzhi, who thought Jiang Yutang had caused trouble again and asked anxiously, "What's going on this time? We can talk things over, don't fight."

Cheng Daier glared at Jiang Huaiyu, crossed her arms, and snorted coldly, "I'll ask Jiang Yutang for help."

"That's not how you ask for help."

Jiang Songzhi raised his hand to signal Jiang Huaiyu to stop talking, then turned to Jiang Yutang behind him and asked softly, "Are you willing to go?"

"Go."

The road to exile is still long. If something unexpected happens along the way, Cheng Lanzhou is, after all, a general, and there's no need to strain the relationship.

This can also be seen as leaving a way out for the Jiang family.

Halfway there, she saw Cheng Lanzhou leaning weakly against the cart, her pale lips sipping the porridge that Lin was feeding her. Hearing the noise, she raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

This clearly shows dissatisfaction with her.

There was no angry rebuke or conflict as I had imagined; instead, it was quite uneventful.

Could it be that they're waiting for her to get closer so they can deliver a fatal blow?

Jiang Yutang walked over with a slightly nervous expression, stopping when she was about two meters away: "How are you feeling now?"

Cheng Dai'er immediately sensed her guilty conscience upon hearing this action and sneered, "Why are you standing so far away? Did you do something you shouldn't have?"

"Yes, Lanzhou, let me ask you, did Jiang Yutang pinch you yesterday?"

"She definitely pinched him!" Cheng Daier pointed to the bruises on Cheng Lanzhou's neck. "Yesterday she said she was helping Lanzhou catch leeches, but these marks are clearly from pinching!"

Jiang Yutang then noticed the purple bruise on Cheng Lanzhou's neck, realizing that the original owner had really been strangling him to death.

"How can you say I pinched him... I acted impulsively, after all, I was scared when I first saw it..." Jiang Yutang said, while secretly observing Cheng Lanzhou's expression.

The other person remained calm until suddenly a mocking sneer curled at the corners of their lips.

"Yes, she was helping me yesterday." The slightly hoarse voice sounded like a joke.

All three of them stood there stunned. Jiang Yutang really didn't expect the other party to lie and help her.

Cheng Dai'er looked at the bruises again, disbelieving, and asked doubtfully, "Really? Don't try to save face for the Jiang family by making excuses for her. Now that her family has also been exiled, there's nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun nodded: "Yes, you have always been dissatisfied with this marriage, but now your mother has come to terms with it. If you still want a divorce, your mother agrees."

Um?

Jiang Yutang's brain suddenly went blank. Just a moment ago they were talking about the truth about the bruises, how did it suddenly jump to divorce?

She didn't care about the divorce, since she was going to return to her original world. She wouldn't mind if it happened a hundred times, let alone once.

But if we get a divorce now, what if something unexpected happens along the way during this long journey?

What will happen to the Jiang family next?

Cheng Lanzhou quickly glanced at Jiang Yutang, taking in her tension and lingering fear, and his disgust deepened.

"She didn't pinch me. I can't worry about divorce right now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, which Cheng Lanzhou interpreted as a sense of relief.

"but."

Jiang Yutang immediately gasped, hunching her shoulders as she looked at Cheng Lanzhou, like a worried little chick.

"Once we arrive in Danzhou and settle down, we will immediately divorce."

Now it was Cheng Daier and Madam Lin's turn to breathe a sigh of relief.

“I knew it! Jiang Yutang is a scoundrel who has caused a lot of harm. My brother would never associate with such a person.”

The person in question was standing right in front of them, yet the other party spoke unrestrainedly and said things that were unpleasant to hear. Even Jiang Yutang, who usually had a good temper, couldn't hold back at this moment.

She said with a stern face, "It seems to have recovered very well and there is no serious problem. I will take my leave now." After saying that, she turned to leave.

"stop."

Cheng Lanzhou's cold voice made Jiang Yutang subconsciously stop moving, her body turning back uncontrollably, and even her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

What's going on? Why is my body out of control?

Could it be... this phrase about bodily consciousness?

Jiang Yutang felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the original owner was still there and wanted to take back control of the body?

Unaware of anything amiss, Cheng Lanzhou simply raised her hand and said, "You haven't seen my injuries yet."

The next second, Jiang Yutang strode up to Cheng Lanzhou, squatted down and asked softly, "Lanzhou, is your wound still hurting? Let me take a look."

Cheng Dai'er's face showed an expression of indifference, her tone full of disdain: "That's all you've got..."

Before they could finish speaking, they saw Jiang Yutang raise her right hand and slap herself.

"Smack!"

The three of them were startled by her sudden action and stood there staring at her blankly.

Jiang Yutang covered her cheek and muttered softly, "It hurts so much..."

Cheng Lanzhou thought she was putting on an act again, and her voice was like frost: "Jiang Yutang, what tricks are you playing now? If you don't want to treat me, you can refuse. I won't force you!"

"No, no, a mosquito just landed on my face, it wasn't an attempt to scam me," Jiang Yutang quickly explained.

Mrs. Lin frowned, unable to understand what she was saying, and looked anxiously at her son.

"Take off your clothes, I'll change your dressing." Jiang Yutang took out hydrogen peroxide from her bundle. "This will hurt a little, just bear with it."

Cheng Lanzhou turned around dismissively, revealing bandages soaked in blood.

Jiang Yutang skillfully unwrapped the bandage, frowned as she examined it, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the wound has stopped getting infected. Just change the dressing regularly, and it will gradually heal in a few days."

The moment the hydrogen peroxide was poured, Cheng Lanzhou let out a muffled groan, quickly covering her mouth with her hand to stifle the rest of the sound.

Seeing Jiang Yutang pick up another bottle, preparing to sprinkle powder on his back, he immediately stopped her, asking, "What is this?"

"Yun...this is wound medicine. It won't hurt. It's for stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation."

The smell was unlike any other wound medicine he had ever used, but he had no choice at this critical juncture. He closed his eyes and told Jiang Yutang to continue.

Surprisingly, there was no pain; instead, there was a cooling and analgesic sensation.

"Okay, this is medicine. You should drink it with water, otherwise it might get stuck in your throat."

Cheng Lanzhou took the medicine, examined the capsule shell, and asked, "What's this outer layer?"

“Uh…” Jiang Yutang stared at the capsule for a long time, then managed to utter two words: “Immortal pill, freshly made.”
