Chapter 229 - 228: Not for Public Disclosure
After Qi Huang left, Mrs. Wang looked at the few items, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, repacked them in the cloth, calmed her emotions, then turned to Zhang Quan’s family and said, "Did you hear what Qi Huang said just now, Sister Hong?"
Zhang Quan’s family was sharp-witted and replied, "Lady, when I return, I will certainly relay her words to the Old Lady without any falsehood."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "You needn’t speak of anything else, Xixi may look fragile, but she is very astute. She is an exceptionally clever child, even better than I had imagined." She touched the box of Angong Pills, and said with a bitter smile, "Looking at it now, it’s me who’s not worthy of being her legitimate mother."
No, it’s the Qin family that is unworthy.
"Lady, you should not diminish yourself."
"You don’t understand. For the past ten years, this child lived alone in the old house, and even though money and goods were sent to her with old servants to take care of her, how cruel and cold must it have been for a child?" Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "You’ve seen the state of the Qin family nowadays; even I have to rely on things sent by my mother to get by. Yet this young lady, who has just come of age, could offer such precious items, but I have no idea how she saved them up, what she has sacrificed in the process. But she did offer them, am I not indebted to her?"
Zhang Quan’s family tentatively asked, "Lady, do you mean to say that these medicines are as valuable as that girl said, and worth a fortune?"
Mrs. Wang’s expression became serious, "She is from the Mystic Sect, and she would not easily lie. These two medicines are as rare as those from Changsheng Hall, especially the Angong Pill; previously, I couldn’t even purchase it in the capital to give to my mother as a birthday gift. But now..."
She laughed bitterly and felt a bit shocked by Qin Liuxi’s abilities, which seemed even more intense and mysterious than she had imagined.
Zhang Quan’s family said, "If the young miss has such Divine Skills, then the Qin family..."
Her words were cut off by a look from Mrs. Wang, and she felt a palpitation.
