Where did this greenhorn girl come from, daring to meddle in his affairs with Lin Weilan?

Don’t you see that even Lin Qingwen and his wife don’t dare utter a single word!

The middle-aged man’s gaze was icy, scrutinizing as he said with a smirk, “Madam Lin, how is it that I have never heard about you having another granddaughter? What is the meaning of this?”

“Ah Lan? Cough, cough, cough…” Lin Weilan was startled, then coughed several times, “Why have you come at this time? Dinner is ready, you go eat first. You don’t need to worry about this.”

“If I don’t worry, what happens if you get upset and can’t sleep well tonight?” Ye Wanlan said indifferently, “Who is worth your personal negotiation at the expense of your own health? In my view, none.”

Lin Weilan gave a bitter smile, “My health…”

She knew her own body. Even if the Master of Taiyi Palace were to be reborn, they couldn’t turn back the tide.

It was all about holding on for as long as possible, to ensure her grandchildren graduated high school and entered college, only then could she rest assured.

“So, the Lin Family of Jiangcheng have such an ill-mannered young member, treating a guest with such rudeness,” the middle-aged man sneered, “It seems like you truly do not wish to discuss matters.”

“Mr. Luo, please calm down, please calm down,” Lin Qingwen, who hadn’t dared to speak up, was in a panic, “This is my niece. A child who doesn’t understand the ways of the world, not disciplined by her parents, indeed lacks manners. Please forgive her.”

The middle-aged man snorted, “Naturally, I won’t stoop to argue with a little girl.”

“To treat guests, one must indeed be courteous, but to deal with a wolf that covets to swallow the Lin Family whole—” Ye Wanlan smiled, “I will shoot him, skin him, mutilate him as a warning to all, then hang his hide upon the city gates as a cautionary tale.”

The middle-aged man felt his inner thoughts pierced and was infuriated, “You—”

Seconds later, he laughed out of sheer rage, “Fine, I’ll talk to you then. First, answer me one question. Do you know what the Curative Herb is? Do you know its effects?”

Ye Wanlan kept a calm demeanor, “What is the Curative Herb?”

“You don’t even know what the Curative Herb is, and you want to talk to me?” the middle-aged man could barely contain his impatience, “Is there anything you do understand?”

“Ah Lan, the Curative Herb is a rare medicinal material,” Lin Weilan explained, “but its growth conditions are extremely stringent, and it absolutely must not bloom. Once it flowers, it loses all medicinal properties and becomes an ordinary wildflower.”

Ye Wanlan nodded, “Hmm, now I understand.”

So, this is the Curative Herb?

A plant used three hundred years ago for greening in the Taiyi Palace?

It didn’t have a name back then, no wonder she had never heard of it.

The Curative Herb, as its name implies, has the effect of focusing the mind and gathering energy.

The Taiyi Palace used the Curative Herb for basic greening purposes, also to calm the minds of the Taiyi Medical Practitioners and prevent them from becoming demon-possessed during their medicinal practice.

However, due to a battle three hundred years ago, the Taiyi Palace fell, the medicinal gardens were destroyed, and many medicinal plants were uprooted.

Thus, even the Curative Herb became the rare medicinal material it is today.

“Madam Lin, I respect you, and shall not say more,” the middle-aged man stood up, “We will stick to the agreed time; not a second more can be granted. Seven days from now, at this time, I must see the Curative Herb!”

He left in a huff, completely ignoring Lin Qingwen and Madam Lin’s attempts to retain him.

Ye Wanlan, what are you doing?!” Madam Lin slammed the table and rose, her anger boiling over, “Do you realize that everything was messed up the moment you arrived? The talks between Madam Lin and the client were going well today, and we could have delayed the deadline. Why did you have to interfere? Are you trying to drive us to a dead end?”

If they could not produce the Curative Herb within the specified time, the entire Jiangcheng Lin Family, including the old house they were living in now, would have to be handed over.

Madam Lin was accustomed to a life of luxury; she could not bear the thought of having to live frugally.

Ye Wanlan ignored Madam Lin. After watching Lin Weilan finish her cup of tea, her gaze lightly swept the living room, “Whose client was being discussed?”

As the head of the family, how could Lin Weilan make such a basic mistake?

“What does it matter to you whose client it was?” Madam Lin, full of vexation and anger, retorted, “The important thing is you’ve messed everything up now!”

“I asked who was discussing, I didn’t ask you to open your mouth, so keep it closed,” Ye Wanlan’s tone was gentle, almost soft.

Yet the authority and pressure rose abruptly, tumbling down like an overwhelming wave.

In that moment, the king had returned!

Madam Lin’s fury intensified, but as she opened her mouth, she found herself unable to speak further.

“It was, it was me…” Lin Qingwen’s eyes darted around, “I was deceived, Mother, I didn’t do it on purpose, if I had known their target was the Lin Family, I wouldn’t have…”

“So, it was Uncle,” Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, “As a classic example of failure, a foolish paradigm, it’s understandable.”

Madam Lin slammed the table again, “Ye Wanlan, do you have no manners at all, how can you talk like that?!”

“Enough!” Lin Weilan said coldly, “What’s wrong with what Ah Lan said? Deceived into signing a contract, and you think a few words can absolve you? A man in his forties or fifties, still so thoughtless!”

With Lin Weilan speaking, Madam Lin was utterly silenced.

“Mother, what if, what if you try asking the main family for help?” suggested Lin Qingwen tentatively, “Given our family’s relationship with the Yunjing Su Family, they could surely provide a Curative Herb, and we could also…”

“Don’t even think about it!” Lin Weilan’s voice suddenly rose sharply, “If you want to return to the main family, go back on your own merits!”

Lin Qingwen shrank back, no longer daring to be disrespectful.

“Grandma, let me help you rest,” Ye Wanlan insisted, not allowing Lin Weilan to refuse, “As for the Curative Herb, leave it to me.”

Lin Weilan, not wanting to encounter Lin Qingwen and his wife anymore, closed her eyes, “Ah Lan, let’s go upstairs.”

In the living room, Lin Qingwen and Madam Lin looked at each other, panic evident in their eyes.

“What do we do now?” Madam Lin fumed, clenching her teeth, “That Ye Wanlan just got back and already stirred up such trouble, did she come back to split the Lin Family apart?”

Lin Qingwen was also full of remorse, “I should never have signed the contract. I really didn’t expect it was the Lin Family they were targeting.”

“What does that have to do with you? Signing the contract was also for the good of the Lin Family.” Madam Lin held back her anger, “It’s just her, Ye Wanlan, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, and now she claims she can find the Curative Herb? Before this, she had no idea what it was!”

Without returning to the main house, she would never get it!

Do they really think Curative Herb is as common as cabbage?

“She simply said it to make the old lady happy.” Lin Qingwen was also very angry, “And mother actually believed her, probably convinced that she can produce the Curative Herb.”

“This can’t go on… absolutely not…” Madam Lin couldn’t calm down and already began to rack her brains for a way out.

If the Lin Family is finished this time, she would not go down with them.

Upstairs, in Lin Weilan’s bedroom.

Ye Wanlan took Lin Weilan’s pulse and her eyes grew heavy.

Today, Lin Weilan indeed became agitated, her pulse extremely chaotic.

“Grandmother, what exactly happened?” Ye Wanlan asked.

“The customer Lin Qingwen signed, is actually a small supplier of medicinal herbs for Global Center,” sighed Lin Weilan, “Now he’s made us a target, so this matter involves a complex network of relationships.”

Ye Wanlan nodded thoughtfully, “It seems their actual purpose is to force you to return to the main house.”

“Yes,” Lin Weilan’s voice lowered, “Ah Lan, don’t you resent that I could return to the main house but chose not to?”

“How could I blame you, if you don’t go back, it means the main house made you uncomfortable,” Ye Wanlan shook her head, “Why go back to a place that makes you uncomfortable?”

Lin Weilan paused, “But the Curative Herb…”

“Grandmother, don’t worry, leave it to me.” Ye Wanlan’s voice was serene, “You just rest well, the Curative Herb will be delivered in seven days.”

After reassuring Lin Weilan, she went out and sent a message in a private chat group.

[YN]: Curative Herb, who has it?

As soon as this message came out, everyone in the group nearly replied in a second.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: What is that? Never heard of it.

[World’s Richest]: Don’t ask me about things under ten million, there’s no way I would know.

[Cultured Person]: It’s a kind of grass.

[Crazy Scientist]: Can it be used as fuel to make rockets go faster? If so, get me one.

Ye Wanlan pressed her temple.

What kind of eccentrics had she come to know?

After exiting the group, Ye Wanlan thought for a moment and contacted Su Xueqing.

[Ye Wanlan]: Xueqing, have you heard of the Curative Herb?

[Su Xueqing]: Curative Herb? What about it?

[Ye Wanlan]: It’s urgent.

[Su Xueqing]: I don’t have Curative Herb on me, but I have a way to get it. But there’s a difficulty, special medicine must be used to suppress the blooming of the Curative Herb, otherwise this plant is wasted.

[Ye Wanlan]: Thanks, don’t worry about the special medicine, I have it.

[Su Xueqing]: You have it? But the formula for the special medicine is exclusive to the Su Family, held by the Elders Council.

[Ye Wanlan]: Yes, I have it, see you tomorrow.

Su Xueqing stared at the reply, a bit unable to sleep now.

What kind of person was her classmate, really?

How could she know the medicine formula so well?

The next morning, Su Xueqing arrived in class with dark circles under her eyes, looking wilted all over.

“Xueqing, you…” Ye Wanlan paused, “Didn’t sleep all night?”

“I couldn’t sleep at all!” Su Xueqing, usually calm and reserved, became surprisingly agitated, “Ah Lan, how do you have the medicine formula?”

She certainly wouldn’t think Ye Wanlan had stolen the secret formula from the Su Family.

Ye Wanlan was not that kind of person.

“Saved it from before,” said Ye Wanlan, “Now I just need one Curative Herb plant.”

“Alright, no problem,” Su Xueqing responded, “My friend happens to have a seedling, which is five days from blooming, is there enough time?”

“There’s enough time,” Ye Wanlan’s pupils narrowed slightly, “By the way, Xueqing, I have something for you, a thank you for helping me find the Curative Herb.”

She took out several sheets of paper from her backpack and handed them to Su Xueqing.

The paper was somewhat wrinkled, obviously old.

“What is this? You don’t have to…” Su Xueqing received them, her gaze falling on the very top of the papers.

Four simple characters.

“Taiyi Divine Needle.”
