Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 260: The Cure?

"I will clarify first that I’ve got nothing going on with her.

"The Spirit Herbs and the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron that I need from her are important for our future.

"I am trying to make some pills from them.

"These pills would help you with the stances I’ve taught you earlier to make you healthier and stronger.

"If she is only interested in trading with me, then I shall do it keeping a distance away from her.

"But if she tries anything funny, I promise you, I will not see her again." Lin Xuan Qi said and explained to them what it meant for him to get the Spirit Herbs and Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron from Lu Ting.

"She came out of nowhere and wanted to get close to me ever since she saw me.

"Maybe being too handsome and talented is such a curse."

He shrugged his shoulders and teased them.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie shook their heads and said, "Sure, our husband-to-be is the most handsome and talented in the whole of the Da Qian Dynasty."

Some things never change.

He still liked to tease them to weasel out of things.

But Xue Cong and Yue Jie fell for it again willingly.

His persistence in helping them learn the stances made them think it must have been something very important to him.

They glanced at him with a smile and said, "We trust you."

Lin Xuan Qi was pleased with their response but he didn’t have much time to talk to them further.

He picked up the pill bottle and said, "I have to get this to brother Sima Long as soon as possible."

They stood up and hurriedly helped to get the horse carriage ready.

...

Sima Family Mansion.

Zhang Jie was lying on her bed, looking pale with her eyes staring up at the ceiling.

Tears welled up and flowed down from the side of her eyes.

It had been so many days and she wasn’t getting any better.

The Sima Family Head had finally asked the best physician they could find to have a look at her after the good earnings from the soap business.

But the physician needed time to get there traveling from the Capital City.

Her family, which was only a rich merchant family, also tried their best but even after searching for a long time, there wasn’t anyone who could help much.

Local Physicians came and went, with none of them having a clue to cure her.

Thoughts about Sima Long and her unborn child went through her mind.

What would Sima Long do if she wasn’t around anymore?

She even thought of letting Sima Long get a concubine to help him take care of their child.

Her eyes closed and she gave out a long sigh.

The servant girl standing beside the bed frowned and lowered her head.

Zhang Jie had never been like this in front of her.

But the illness was bad enough for Zhang Jie to be bedridden for so long.

She glanced at the swollen tummy of Zhang Jie and shook her head.

"Is everything alright?" Sima Long’s voice at the door of the bedroom disrupted the somber mood inside.

Beside him was Lin Xuan Qi holding the pill bottle that Lu Ting had given him.

Sima Long and Lin Xuan Qi had asked Granduncle Xiong to verify if the pills inside were safe.

Granduncle Xiong’s eyes lit when he saw the pills.

It didn’t take much for him to recognize that it was from the Lu Clan in the Capital City.

The pills from the Lu Clan always had a signature pill mark that would signify the authenticity of their pills.

That helped assure Lin Xuan Qi that Lu Ting wasn’t out to harm him.

Sima Long quickly got to the side of the bed and sat down.

He helped Zhang Jie up from the bed and said, "Brother Lin has managed to get some Yin Yang Qi Replenishing Pills. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"It should help you with the illness and stabilize the child."

Zhang Jie opened her mouth and tried to say something when she heard that it would stabilize the child.

But Sima Long stopped her, knowing how weak she was.

Lin Xuan Qi passed him the pill bottle and Sima Long took out one of the pills from it.

He helped his wife lift her head and opened her mouth slightly.

After he put in the pill, the servant girl quickly passed a cup of water to Sima Long.

Zhang Jie swallowed the pill with the help of the water and closed her mouth.

There was nothing much Sima Long could do but to wait anxiously.

He saw the marks of her tears by the side of her face but he kept quiet.

After what had happened, he would rather deal with his lovely bossy and nagging wife than this.

Lin Xuan Qi stood by the side and watched closely to see if the pills worked.

Moments passed and Zhang Jie’s breathing had become stronger slowly, stabilizing after a while.

Her face began to lose the pale look when her blood began circulating better and it was looking much healthier and normal.

Zhang Jie felt the warmth coming from her dantian initially, and when it helped her metabolism, chills washed upon her making her feel refreshed, as if the illness was all but a dream.

When it ended, she was able to sit up by herself and she glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.

"Thank you so much." She wanted to bow at him but Sima Long stopped her, being still wary of her health.

She shook her head and said to Sima Long, "What are you doing?

"Offer brother Lin a seat and tea."

When Sima Long heard her, he was close to tears.

Zhang Jie had not nagged at him like this for a very long time and it was like music to his ears now.

He glanced at the servant girl and the servant girl nodded her head with a smile.

She tried to lead Lin Xuan Qi to a seat in the room but Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "No need.

"I think you have lots to say to each other and I shall not intrude on both of you.

"We shall see each other again at my wedding."

He said with a smile and he turned around to leave.
