Chapter 19: Caught In The Act (1)
Duan Sida glanced at his wife and said, "You two should watch your words. Otherwise, if that dead girl knows something, I won't mind sending you and Xiyan to the Chen Mansion."
Seeing her husband's terrifying appearance, Madam Duan was extremely frightened. She nodded quickly and said, "Husband, don't worry. We won't even say a word out."
Duan Sida was satisfied with her answer, turned to look at the thatched house, and then left with his frightened wife and daughter.
In the backyard, Duan Yixin was not aware of the danger at all. While busy separating the medicinal herbs, she taught Chi Xinru how to identify them.
Looking at the medicinal herbs spread out on the drying rack, Chi Xinru asked, "Xin Xin, how long do these medicinal herbs need to be dried before they can be sold?"
Duan Yixin looked at the bright sunshine and said, "According to the current weather, it will take about four or six hours."
Chi Xinru calculated the time and asked, "Then it should be ready tomorrow morning, right?"
Duan Yixin nodded and said, "Yes. But I don't know if the medicine hall accepts semi-dried herbs. Some people like fully processed herbs, but I lack the tools to further process them now."
Although she said so, Duan Yixin could actually get the processing tools from the warehouse. But the Duan family always showed up uninvited, and she didn't want to risk exposing her secrets. So, she can only let the medicinal herbs dry slowly under the sun for now.
