After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 243: Is She Out of Her Mind?

Why is it stupid?

Because he disguised himself as a woman.

He learned a few things about the Heaven and Earth Sect in Qingzhou Prefecture.

For example, the sect is more lenient towards won when recruiting followers.

So, he didn’t kill the original person as he did when disguising as Xiong Da.

As a result, such a big mistake happened.

"Who could have predicted..." Zhao Ting was sowhat disgruntled.

"Indeed." ng Yao nodded; after all, she didn’t anticipate it either.

Nearing noon, Gao Shan returned with dicine, "Sister-in-law Zhao, altogether it’s two taels of silver."

ng Yao thanked him, paid the silver, and Gao Shan glanced at Zhao Ting, shook his head, and left.

"Why did he shake his head?" Zhao Ting asked, puzzled.

ng Yao accurately understood Gao Shan’s aning: the dicine was expensive, Brother Zhao would still be frail when he awoke, and the future days for Sister-in-law Zhao would be tough.

"I don’t know." ng Yao replied.

"The mother and son of the Gao Family are quite peculiar." Zhao Ting remarked.

You think they’re odd, but perhaps they find you strange too.

But ng Yao didn’t argue with Zhao Ting about this. She unpacked the herbal bundle, examined it to see if the herbs matched the prescription.

The Gao family mother and son both harbored ulterior motives towards her, so she needed to be cautious.

Fortunately, there were no issues.

"I’ll brew the dicine for you." ng Yao took the dicine into the kitchen.

Zhao Ting sat on the threshold of the kitchen door and asked ng Yao about the geographical location of the village.

After ng Yao told him, he tore a piece of fabric from his inner clothes, picked up a piece of charred wood from the stove, used the fabric as paper and the charred wood as a pen, and after finishing, whistled loudly. Soon, Little Gold swooped down before him.

Zhao Ting tied the strip of cloth to Little Gold’s leg, patted Little Gold’s head, and Little Gold soared into the sky, leaving.

"Sending a letter back?" ng Yao asked.

"I’ve drawn a map of the Heaven and Earth Sect’s headquarters for His Majesty. I’m severely injured and can’t continue handling this matter. We must let His Majesty consider appointing a reliable person to take over." Zhao Ting said.

"Your injuries, in ten days or so, will be mostly healed." ng Yao said, slightly surprised.

If the Heaven and Earth Sect’s headquarters could be taken down in one go, it would be a great achievent.

"Being too capable isn’t always good. You have to give others the chance to earn their rits!" Zhao Ting said.

ng Yao nodded thoughtfully, "True."

Ten days later, Zhao Ting’s poison was fully cleared, and his injuries were almost healed.

The people sent by Emperor Jing t with Zhao Ting and ng Yao.

Zhao Ting redrew a map, with ng Yao making minor additions, and provided so Detoxification Pills.

Then the two bid farewell to the Gao Family.

Aunt Gao tried her best to retain ng Yao, considering Zhao Ting still appeared quite weak. According to Aunt Gao, a bumpy ox cart ride could be fatal; why leave now?

ng Yao thanked Aunt Gao for her kindness, saying that, good or not, she needed to return to her roots.

Aunt Gao then ceased her attempts to detain them.

But her words implied that if Zhao Ting were to pass away, they should return.

"Auntie, even if I’m close to death, my spirit’s still hanging on. Isn’t that a bit much?"

"What’s wrong with that? You know your own health best. You wouldn’t expect Yaoyao to stay by your side, would you? As young people, that’d be too selfish. Yaoyao is still so young..." Aunt Gao lectured Zhao Ting extensively.

Zhao Ting listened with a twitching mouth corner.

If he didn’t have to act ’weak’ now, he would let Aunt Gao witness him fighting wild boars with one punch.

Zhao Xiaohua didn’t idle around these days; Lu Luoxing returned to Capital City, so she and Wen Nuan went to Hundred Herbs Hall daily.

They studied dicine with the doctors at Hundred Herbs Hall.

She was naturally intelligent and very polite. Initially, several old doctors looked down on her, but later they competed to teach her.

Lu Tiannan felt that returning to Capital City ant being on his turf, so he beca increasingly attentive to Zhao Xiaohua.

No surprise, since Zhao Xiaohua, while learning dicine, also formulated calming pills in her spare ti.

The calming pills were a hundred tis more effective than the original ones at Hundred Herbs Hall.

If sold in large quantities, the profit would be considerable.

Lu Tiannan’s plans were detailed; if Zhao Xiaohua took a liking to him...

But Zhao Xiaohua, following advice from her mother and brother, was very cold towards Lu Tiannan.

After all, her mother was close to Ah Xing.

Lu Tiannan and Ah Xing were competitors.

She wasn’t foolish and knew whom to get closer to.

She politely refused Lu Tiannan multiple tis, but he seed incapable of understanding and continued doing as he pleased.

To make matters worse, Lu Tiannan had a childhood sweetheart.

Originally, Lu Tiannan cared a lot for his childhood sweetheart, but these days he was too preoccupied to bother about her. Once his childhood sweetheart found out why, she was furious.

Of course, she didn’t see Lu Tiannan as the problem.

The childhood sweetheart thought it was Zhao Xiaohua, the seductress, who had captivated Lu Tiannan.

Thus, the childhood sweetheart ca to Zhao Xiaohua, furiously asserting her territory.

"You’re from the countryside; have so self-awareness. Don’t think that just because you have so good looks, you can dream of becoming a pheasant that turned into a phoenix." The childhood sweetheart, acting like a noble young lady, still restrained herself from cursing despite her anger.

Zhao Xiaohua didn’t even lift her head, quickly sorting the dicinal ingredients in her hands.

"I’m doing this for your own good. After all, families like the Lu Family value equal social status in marriage."

The childhood sweetheart tried to persuade logically and emotionally, talking at length.

"There’s tea over there, help yourself if thirsty." Zhao Xiaohua said.

The childhood sweetheart instinctively said "Oh" and "Thank you."

After speaking, she realized: why on earth was she being polite to this impolite girl from the countryside?

She ca to reason with her; why was she thanking her?

"Wait, did you hear what I said earlier?" The childhood sweetheart asked, frowning.

Zhao Xiaohua finished sorting the herbs and looked up at the young girl about her age, whose round face radiated sweetness, clearly a pampered girl.

"You’re addressing the wrong person with those words." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Eh?"

"You shouldn’t be telling ; you should go tell Lu Tiannan. After all, I’ve never approached Lu Tiannan willingly. If you can control him and make him stop appearing in front of , that’d be great." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"You an, you don’t like Brother Tiannan?" The young girl’s face filled with disbelief.

"Is Lu Tiannan a gold ingot or a silver ingot? Why should I like him?" Zhao Xiaohua retorted.

"Brother Tiannan is so wonderful, he looks good, has a good temperant, and treats well. How can you not like him?"

Zhao Xiaohua sighed, "What does that have to do with ?"

"But Brother Tiannan likes you."

"He likes , so I have to like him? What kind of logic is that? Seriously, why did you co here?" Zhao Xiaohua was baffled; this young girl might have a real problem with her brain, right?
