Chapter 363 Dream Accident (2)_1
She still remembers the content she once came across in Xiao Linshuang’s handwritten notes, all that Itchy Grass and croton seeds—those were child’s play. If Lao Fan were to take action, he probably wouldn’t even need those things; just a pinch of inconspicuous powder could put someone in bed for days, suffering a fate worse than death.
As for Lao Fan’s prowess, Xia Zheng had a deep understanding. Was it not only last time that, in order to teach Zhao Hongsheng a lesson, he and Little White Rabbit stealthily took some croton seeds from Lao Fan, resulting in the old man being severely reprimanded by the Emperor? As a consequence, the old fellow vented all his anger on the two of them. Just a word with him, and the next day, both of their faces swelled up like a pig’s head.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the two of them, sporting their pig-head faces, strolled around a great deal in the palace and the General Mansion. He was puzzled; the maids in the Military Mansion always looked at him with peach blossom eyes, so why did they look like they saw a ghost that day?
It turned out his face had changed!
After that incident, Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde swore never to secretly take Lao Fan’s medicines to harm others again. Of course, if they did want to harm someone, they could still speak nicely to him, and the herbal medicine they obtained this way would be even more effective than what they could pilfer on their own.
In fact, before Xia Zheng sneaked away and left Lao Fan behind this time, he had struggled for a long time. Knowing Lao Fan’s unique methods of retaliation was exactly why he didn’t flee when the troop departed. But as soon as he thought of the little maid he was constantly pining for, he wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. At worst, he would just become a pig’s head again—after all, his Little Maid didn’t despise him for that.
Looking at Xia Zheng’s resolute expression, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but let out a snicker, which was quickly followed by a wave of bitterness.
