After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 72: Zhan Miao Seeks Medicine

Shi Yaoguang spent a day in the special class, safe and sound, which made those who bet she would be kicked out within a day lose everything.

Some people couldn’t help but secretly inquire, just to figure out how Shi Yaoguang managed to stay in the special class without any trouble.

The results of the inquiries were rather fanciful.

There were rumors that Shi Yaoguang had already become one with the special class.

Others claimed that even if Shi Yaoguang was ostracized, she would endure the humiliation and stay in the special class.

There were even more outrageous claims that she got bullied by Gao Wenlan and his people but ended up making Gao Wenlan cry instead.

Of course, most people didn’t believe the last rumor.

If Shi Yaoguang were really that powerful, she wouldn’t have been bullied last semester.

As for Shi Yaoguang and Gao Wenlan, the main characters of these rumors, they had no intention of coming forward to explain.

After school, Shi Yaoguang returned to Quan Mansion.

"Madam, you’re finally back!"

The butler rushed up excitedly as soon as he saw her.

This attitude of the butler was familiar to Shi Yaoguang.

She knew at a glance that the butler had something he wanted to tell her.

Without delay, she asked, "Butler, has something happened?"

The butler chose his words carefully and briefly explained the situation with Zhan Miao.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "Madam, what are the characters written on the small bottle you gave to the Third Master?"

"Um..." Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment, then said, "You could call it hieroglyphs, I guess."

"Hieroglyphs? I see."

The butler made an expression as if he suddenly understood, but in reality...

He still didn’t know what hieroglyphs were.

To be precise, he understood the term hieroglyphs.

But the hieroglyphs on that small porcelain bottle eluded him.

However, such a trivial matter wasn’t worth troubling Madam over, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.

The butler was someone who cared about his face, so he bravely refrained from asking further.

Quan Jinbei knew she had returned and made a special trip downstairs.

"Third Master, are you here to ask me what the medicine I gave you this morning is?"

Shi Yaoguang smiled as soon as she saw him.

Quan Jinbei nodded, "The things you give me, I naturally need to understand them thoroughly."

"Understand them thoroughly before returning them?"

"No." Quan Jinbei looked at her with deep-set eyes and cracked a faint smile, "What you give, I never return."

"Tsk, don’t just say nice things, Third Master. Who knows what mischief you might be up to behind the scenes," Shi Yaoguang teased him, and then stepped forward to take the small bottle he was holding.

She then wrote the hieroglyphs etched on the bottle onto a piece of paper.

"These three characters, to be exact, probably don’t count as proper text,"

Quan Jinbei chuckled, "I’ve already figured that out."

"How did you figure it out?" Shi Yaoguang looked surprised.

Quan Jinbei said, "The characters I remember, do not include these."

Shi Yaoguang pouted, "Just because you can’t recognize them doesn’t mean others can’t. Maybe it’s a problem with you."

"Madam is right," Quan Jinbei frankly admitted he lacked knowledge in that area.

His candidness somehow caught Shi Yaoguang off guard.

Just then, the bell at Quan Mansion rang again.

The butler went out to see who it was, and sure enough, it was Zhan Miao.

Zhan Miao’s expression was incredibly agitated, "Third Master!"

He greeted Quan Jinbei and then turned his attention to Shi Yaoguang.

Until now, he had never met Shi Yaoguang, so seeing her in her high school uniform, he really didn’t know how to address her at first.

Seeing this, the butler reminded, "This is our Madam."

Zhan Miao showed surprise, "You, you’re the Third Master’s wife?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Hello, my name is Shi Yaoguang."

Zhan Miao quickly introduced himself, "My name is Zhan Miao."

After introducing himself, he couldn’t wait to explain why he had come.

"Third Master, I’ve come to ask you for a favor."

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, unsurprised, "The ointment worked?"

"Exactly!" Zhan Miao explained excitedly, "After I returned, I had a master of traditional Chinese medicine check it, made sure the old master could use it, and then let the old master try it. After using it, the effect was tremendous! It’s just that there was a little too little of it..."

At this, he couldn’t help showing a bit of embarrassment.

It wouldn’t be too far off to say he had come to ask for more.

However, for his grandfather’s sake, even if it meant begging, it was worth it.

Quan Jinbei didn’t respond immediately but instead asked, "The traditional Chinese doctor you found, did he figure out what the medicine is?"

At this, Zhan Miao became even more excited.

"He said the ointment I took back is a famous medicine lost in history!"

At these words, Quan Jinbei’s eyes also showed a touch of surprise.

A famous medicine lost to history?

Zhan Miao nodded vigorously, "Master Min said, the ointment I brought back is the best medicine for treating the stubborn illness of our family’s old master. Unfortunately, this kind of ointment has been submerged in the long river of history. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t dare believe such a medicine actually existed!"

After speaking, he hesitated as he looked at Shi Yaoguang, "I heard that this ointment was a gift from the Madam to the Third Master?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Yes."

Zhan Miao asked with a hint of nervousness, "I wonder if you might still have some of this ointment?"

Afraid of being misunderstood as a freeloader, he quickly added, "As long as you are willing to part with it, no matter the cost, it’s okay!"

Shi Yaoguang hesitated and shook her head, "It seems there was just one bottle of that ointment."

Zhan Miao felt disappointed, but remembering that Quan Jinbei still had a bottle, he looked at him with burning eyes.

"Third Master, please..."

Before he could finish, Shi Yaoguang said, "According to what you said, I happen to have an even more suitable medicine for you."

Zhan Miao: "..."

His emotions were like riding a roller coaster.

After processing the shock her words had brought him, Zhan Miao asked very seriously, "May I know what conditions the Madam requires?"

"We’ll talk about the conditions later, let me get the items for you first," Shi Yaoguang said and went upstairs.

After making a round in the bedroom and coming back down, she had two more little bottles in her hand.

Zhan Miao opened the bottle and sniffed.

The faint scent of medicinal herbs instantly filled his nostrils.

His eyes lit up, "Madam Quan, is this really for me?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, giving him a very definite answer, "You take it back and let the old master try first."

Zhan Miao clenched the small porcelain bottle tightly, nodding gravely, "A great kindness needs no thanks. If there’s ever a need where Madam Quan can use the Zhan Family’s help, just say the word, and I won’t refuse!"

Shi Yaoguang responded indifferently.

After Zhan Miao left, Quan Jinbei finally asked her, "What’s the difference between the ointments you gave us?"

Shi Yaoguang walked up to him, leaned in, her pale fingertips lifted his chin, revealing a seductive smile, "The difference is significant, I’m just afraid the Third Master, upon knowing, won’t be able to resist offering himself to me."
