Chapter 65 -65: It’s Not My Fault, Why Should I Admit It

However, it was not the end yet.

As the words fell, Lu Sheng pulled out a small wooden box from the red brocade pouch, and this time the box contained a green medicinal pill.

None of the crowd recognized it, except Gao He, who showed a shocked expression.

“Uncle Master… could this pill be the Spring Pill?!”

—Spring Pill?

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

The name alone indicated it was not ordinary. Fu Siya urgently asked, “What exactly is the Spring Pill?”

Gao He held his breath and said, “The Spring Pill, its name embodying the spirit of ‘turning over a new leaf,’ is one of the miracle cures documented in another ancient medical book.”

“It’s said to regulate blood lipids, blood sugar, blood pressure, improve memory, vision, and sleep, repair and protect organs within the body such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and even delay aging.”

“In summary, it’s a type of miracle cure that can rejuvenate one’s physical state by decades, and it’s extremely difficult to produce.”

“If the pill in Uncle Master’s hand is truly the Spring Pill, it’s probably the only one in the world, even more precious than the Returning Pill.”

A miracle cure with so many benefits and even able to delay aging—and there’s only one in the world?

Even the well-informed Fu Yun couldn’t help but be startled upon hearing this.

If this Spring Pill truly possesses the miraculous and rare qualities as Gao He described, then this tiny pill could be worth a fortune.

It’s possible that even if it were sold for tens of millions per pill, these people from the upper social circles would still scramble for it.

And Fu Siya herself took a deep breath.

She had heard the words ‘delay aging.’

In other words, if this inconspicuous pill really has that effect, could it not preserve her youth?

Only Fu Chen was still clueless.

He didn’t know why this middle-aged man addressed Lu Sheng as Uncle Master, nor was he aware of what this Spring Pill or Returning Pill was.

But seeing the man’s respectful demeanor towards the young lady… Could it be that Lu Sheng truly understood traditional Chinese medicine??

“Hm,” Lu Sheng responded indifferently with his left hand extending the pill to Old Mr. Fu’s mouth, softly saying, “Grandpa, eat this.”

“After you eat it, not only will your body recover quickly, but it will also be in a better state than before you became ill.”

But Old Mr. Fu had heard what Gao He just said.

Although he didn’t know why the girl had such a precious pill, since it was so valuable and the only one in the world, how could he just casually consume it?

“Grandpa doesn’t want it, Nannan,” Old Mr. Fu declined, “Since Grandpa’s body is already well, there’s no need to eat this anymore.”

“Grandpa, although someone switched my prescription deliberately to harm you, in the end, this poisoning incident originated because of me.”

Lu Sheng pushed the pill forward again, insisting, “So, Grandpa, just eat this, and it will be fine. If we lose the pill, I can make another.”

The prescription was switched?

Deliberate harm?

Old Mr. Fu had been unconscious all this while and had no idea what was going on. Taking advantage of his shock, Lu Sheng directly stuffed the Spring Pill into the old man’s mouth.

Seeing Old Mr. Fu swallow the pill, she then turned to face the people of the Fu Family.

The soft expression she had shown Old Mr. Fu turned cold in an instant.

“Someone changed your prescription to harm you, and you’re still making excuses?” At this moment, Chen Ruyun, who had been silent, suddenly jumped out, looking somewhat agitated.

“For a girl of such a young age, it’s common to be careless. Yet, you made a mistake in writing and won’t admit it, insisting on blaming others instead.”

“Even though you’ve caused such a mess with our family’s elder, considering you’ve cured him and fed him the Spring Pill, our Fu Family can let go of your responsibility.”

“I suggest you take the hint, admit your mistake, and leave quickly!”

“It’s not my fault, why should I admit to it?” Lu Sheng suddenly looked towards Chen Ruyun, raising her eyes.

“Just now, the madam couldn’t wait to keep me in the Fu Family to pay the price, so why are you in such a hurry to send me away now?”

The girl’s eyes and tone were slightly mocking. A simple question, yet it made Chen Ruyun’s heart skip a beat.

What did she mean by that?

Could she have noticed something amiss?

“I cannot just walk away,” Lu Sheng said with piercing eyes, “Someone is using my name to harm Grandpa Fu.”

“I can handle being wronged, but if it wasn’t for the Returning Pill I had, Grandpa would probably be cold in his grave by now. Therefore, I must find out who that person is.”

Saying that, Lu Sheng took out the prescription and approached the servant who tended to Old Mr. Fu.

The servant was a hunchbacked man who looked to be in his forties or fifties and seemed to have worked for the Fu Family for a long time.

“I remember you,” Lu Sheng said to the servant, “After I finished writing the prescription that day, Grandpa handed it to you and told you to go get the medicine the next day.”

“Let me ask you, after you left with the prescription that night, did you ever give it to someone else, or did someone else handle it?”

In an instant, everyone’s gaze focused on the old servant, making him feel like he had needles on his back, his cold sweat streaming down.

“I…”

The servant instinctively glanced at Chen Ruyun and saw her eyes stabbing at him like knives, clearly warning and threatening.

He immediately retracted his gaze in panic, waving his hands and stammering, “No, no, I just went directly to get the medicine the next morning.”

Lu Sheng’s gaze grew even colder: “You mean to say, until you went to get the medicine, the prescription was always with you, and no one else touched it?”

The servant said, “Yes…”

Hearing this answer, Lu Sheng turned around and went back to the bedside, approaching Old Mr. Fu.

“Grandpa, what actually happened?” Old Mr. Fu quickly asked, “What about writing the wrong character, what about changing the prescription?”

Lu Sheng did not show the prescription to Old Mr. Fu directly but instead asked, “Grandpa, when I was prescribing the medicine for you that day, I was writing and explaining the effects of those herbs to you, do you remember?”

Old Mr. Fu immediately nodded: “I remember, I don’t understand those herbs, and I was very confused at the time.”

“Do you also remember that when I wrote about the last herb, the hemp leaf, I specifically told you that both the leaf and root of this plant could be used in medicine, but one type is poisonous?”

With this reminder from Lu Sheng, Old Mr. Fu recalled.

“I remember you said that the root of the hemp is poisonous, so you have to be very careful with the dosage. But you prescribed the hemp leaf, so there was no need to worry about that.”

“So what I wrote on the prescription was the hemp leaf, right?” Lu Sheng asked.

“Of course, I watched you write it. And you were pointing at the ‘hemp leaf’ you wrote and telling me about this stuff, I couldn’t have remembered it wrong.”

As her words fell, Lu Sheng looked up at the Fu Family members, who were now speechless.

“Grandpa has just woken up; he doesn’t know anything about pharmacology. He couldn’t have known the difference between the hemp leaf and the hemp root unless he had heard what I said that day.”

“So, can I now prove that the prescription I wrote at the time was correct?”

Lu Sheng lifted her eyes and said, “Since what I wrote in the prescription was correct, and the servant says the prescription was never in anyone else’s hands, then there is only one possibility—”

She suddenly raised her hand, pointing at the frantic servant, “It implies that the prescription was switched by him, and he is also the one who wanted to kill Grandpa.”

“Such an act can be considered attempted murder, and according to the criminal law, even if it’s not life in prison, you’d still have to serve at least a decade.”

“Now that everything’s clear, we should call the police.”

Lu Sheng purposefully let the servant hear this.

As expected, as soon as she finished her sentence, the servant’s face turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he knelt down on the spot: “It’s not me… I didn’t switch the prescription!”

“Not you—?” Lu Sheng walked over to him, her cold and sharp gaze and imposing aura making the servant uncontrollably shudder.

“If not you, then who could it be? Didn’t you just say the prescription hadn’t been touched by anyone else but you?”

“There is! There is!”

The servant, scared out of his wits and fearing that he would be taken away by the police at any moment, facing a decade-long unjust prison sentence, pointed tremblingly at Chen Ruyun and stammered, “…It was the Lady! It was the Lady who took the prescription that night, and only gave it back to me the next day to get the medicine!”
