Old Master Song thought she couldn’t possibly cure cancer. That was his biggest miscalculation.
In Prison Star, Si Mingjing had t two traditional Chinese dicine masters, one of whom was Zhang ii.
Zhang ii had gone to Qinghai in search of precious dicinal materials and lived with a local herding family. There, she learned that soone in the family had cancer and had given up on treatnt, but then miraculously recovered without dication. This discovery piqued her interest. After months of research, she uncovered the secret of the Tibetan Antelope’s horns.
She successfully extracted animal-derived Paclitaxel from the antelope horns and jubilantly shared the good news with Old Master Song.
Because Old Master Song had once studied traditional Chinese dicine under Zhang ii’s father, he was a senior fellow apprentice whom Zhang ii trusted.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Song secretly struck a vicious blow against Zhang ii, intending to monopolize this significant breakthrough that could make history.
Old Master Song could never have dread that not only did Zhang ii survive, but she also ended up at Prison Star and beca Si Mingjing’s ntor.
When Si Mingjing saw Xie Changyuan’s dical case, she thought, This is definitely a trap! Enlightennt struck her, and she instantly understood everything.
She didn’t imdiately reveal the Paclitaxel from the Yellow Pine but instead presented the Paclitaxel from the antelope horns, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Old Master Song.
Now, seeing Old Master Song so enraged that he spat blood, his years of effort ruined in an instant, Si Mingjing’s lips curled slightly. She felt extrely pleased.
Song Pianlan felt like she was about to explode with anger. If it weren’t for the bracelet on Si Mingjing’s wrist, I’d leave imdiately! she fud internally.
Grandfather’s plan didn’t humiliate Si Mingjing, so I have to use the backup plan. No matter what, I must turn the tables tonight! Song Pianlan resolved.
Song Pianlan walked over, deliberately grabbing Si Mingjing’s hand, her attitude even more sincere. "Mingjing, it’s all my fault. I beg for your forgiveness."
Si Mingjing smiled magnanimously. "Aunt, I forgive you."
"Thank you, Mingjing."
Song Pianlan pulled Si Mingjing’s hand closer, revealing the beautiful bracelet on her wrist. Though Song Pianlan rely glanced at it from the corner of her eye, not examining it closely, she feigned a shocked expression. "Mingjing, this bracelet..."
Si Mingjing yanked her wrist away forcefully, tugged at her sleeve to cover the bracelet, and looked at Song Pianlan with surprised phoenix eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, Song Pianlan interrupted her. Song Pianlan wasn’t about to give Si Mingjing a chance to explain. "This... isn’t this the priceless bracelet Miss Bai lost five years ago? It was said to have been stolen, and Miss Bai even offered a substantial reward, but it was never recovered. How is it on your wrist?"
The other guests looked at each other in dismay.
"What’s going on? Could it be the bracelet that Mo Yinhe spent two hundred million to buy for Miss Bai at the auction five years ago?"
"How could that bracelet be on Miss Si’s wrist? Miss Si wasn’t even born when Miss Bai’s bracelet was lost."
"Could it be Si Yao? I seem to recall Si Yao really admired Miss Bai and was quite close to her..."
The guests murmured amongst themselves, all looking incredulously at Si Mingjing’s wrist.
Could Si Yao not only have murdered soone but also committed theft? The shocking thought occurred to many.
Si Mingjing t the complex gazes of the crowd, her lips slowly curling into a smile. She was like a lotus flower blossoming serenely, standing tall amidst the chatter, without a hint of panic in her eyes.
Instead, she blinked, feigning confusion. "Aunt, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Is there sothing wrong with my bracelet?"
Song Pianlan looked utterly heartbroken. "Mingjing, I never expected your mother..."
She paused, as if finding it difficult to broach the subject. "Back then, your mother coveted the bracelet that Mo Yinhe bought for Miss Bai for a fortune. I repeatedly advised her to remain calm. I never expected that in the end, the bracelet would still... Your mother was just too foolish. She was the foremost socialite in B City; how could she stoop to such a deaning act?"
