Chapter 71: 071 Top-grade Curative Herb! The Legacy of Princess Yongning [1 Update]
Lin Weilan’s gaze froze, her eyes firmly fixed on the name of the sender listed on the parcel’s label.
“Mom, is this something a child from Yunjing sent you?” Lin Woyu smiled, “Why use such a cute sender’s name?”
She didn’t know exactly what had happened to Lin Weilan in Yunjing, but over the years, she could vaguely guess that their branch was different from the other factions, and Lin Weilan wasn’t cast out because of a lack of accomplishment in playing the zither.
On the contrary, Lin Weilan’s zither talent was probably even stronger than those core disciples of the main family!
Lin Weilan suddenly stood up wordlessly and hurriedly took the box upstairs.
Upon reaching the study, she then unpacked the express box.
Inside was a meticulously wrapped flower pot that had a green herb planted in the middle, its branches shimmering with a faint blue hue under the light.
The Curative Herb that was about to flower and reach maturity!
With her knowledge, Lin Weilan recognized the medicinal plant at a glance.
Her hands trembled, and she couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath.
The Curative Herb she had been searching for three months appeared right in front of her?!
Then, as if struck by a thought, Lin Weilan picked up the shipping package again, looking once more at the sender’s name.
Don’t Touch My Cabbage…
Could it really be…
Lin Weilan’s heart skipped a beat, and she sat in the chair for a long while, unable to snap back to reality.
Downstairs, the front door opened.
Steward Lin stepped forward to greet: “Miss Wanlan, Young Master Wenli.”
“Auntie.” Ye Wanlan nodded her head, glancing around the hall, “Where’s grandma?”
“Your grandma just received a parcel and went to the study,” Lin Woyu also wondered, “I don’t know who sent it to her.”
Ye Wanlan smiled, “I asked someone to send it, I’ll go upstairs and have a look.”
Lin Woyu paused, looking at Lin Wenli, “Does Ah Lan still know people in Yunjing?”
Lin Wenli shook his head.
The current Ye Wanlan was indeed completely different from the past four years, similar to when they first met; she was full of secrets and utterly inscrutable.
Upstairs.
“Grandma, may I come in?” Ye Wanlan knocked on the study door.
Lin Weilan came back to her senses: “Ah Lan is here, come in.”
Ye Wanlan entered, noticing the Curative Herb on the table: “The quality of this medicinal herb is indeed very good.”
“Not just good, extremely good,” Lin Weilan said, her excitement rare, “Curative Herb of this quality is priceless in Yunjing!”
She grabbed Ye Wanlan’s hand, adding, “Ah Lan, look at this sender’s name, I suspect the person who sent the express delivery is that eccentric old drug peddler from Yunjing.”
Upon seeing the words “Don’t Touch My Cabbage,” Ye Wanlan also fell silent for a moment.
Her eyebrows raised, “It could also be his grandson, someone who has inherited his skills. Grandma, when I said I would get the Curative Herb for you, I meant it, I will definitely help you obtain it.”
Lin Weilan was startled, “Ah Lan, is this your doing…?”
Ye Wanlan hummed, “My desk mate’s last name is Su, she has connections.”
“The Su Family?” Lin Weilan was even more surprised, “Why would the Su Family send their descendants to Jiangcheng?”
While Jiangcheng was indeed an economically developed city in Shenzhou, it still couldn’t compare to the Imperial Capital Yunjing, which converged economy, culture, politics, and geography in one place.
Not to mention the Su Family that followed the Six Great Sects, even other Yunjing tycoons only wanted to squeeze into the Global Center.
Ye Wanlan said quietly, “Perhaps like you, they all have their own compelling reasons.”
Lin Weilan was lost in thought, and after a long while, she sighed deeply, “Every family has its own hardships. Ah Lan, we must thank your desk mate properly. Tomorrow, I will go to the school with you, and thank her in person.”
“Grandma, don’t worry, I have already reciprocated, with something not inferior to the Curative Herb.”
“That’s relieving,” Lin Weilan patted her hand, “Still, I heard that the Curative Herb needs a special medicine to be sprayed on it before it blooms, and that medicine…”
“I’ll handle the medicine,” Ye Wanlan placed her hand on Lin Weilan’s shoulder, “You just need to rest well, we can only be at ease when you’re healthy.”
“My health…” Lin Weilan fell silent for a moment, “Alright, grandma understands.”
She lowered her gaze to her own palm, feeling a heavy burden inside.
Her body was like a plant completely withered, unable to recover all its vitality, but for the Lin Family, for Ye Wanlan’s generation, she would continue to hold on.
At seven in the evening, dinner officially started.
Lin Qingwen and Madam Lin also descended to the dining room, both looking rather unpleased.
Seeing Ye Wanlan made Madam Lin’s expression worsen.
All the trouble that had erupted to this point was because of Ye Wanlan.
If it weren’t for her targeting the client, how could they have no room to maneuver?
Without finding the Curative Herb, Madam Lin was fraught with anxiety, her hands gripping the chopsticks so tight she couldn’t even eat.
Lin Weilan was keen-eyed, and with a single glance, she knew what Madam Lin was thinking. She didn’t mention that Ye Wanlan had already brought the Curative Herb. Instead, she said, “The seven-day deadline is almost here. Don’t you have anything to say?”
Madam Lin already had plans in mind but didn’t speak of them, continuing to respectfully offer Lin Weilan food: “Mother, we are all People of Lin Family; naturally, we will advance and retreat together.”
Lin Weilan responded coolly, pushing aside the dish she offered with her chopsticks before turning to Ye Wanlan, “Ah Lan, eat more fish.”
The smile on Madam Lin’s face couldn’t hold, and after hurriedly eating a few bites, she excused herself for a walk, draped a coat over her shoulders, and left the Lin Family.
Thirty minutes later, she arrived at a hotel.
Madam Lin greeted the middle-aged man on the sofa: “Mr. Luo, hello.”
“Oh, it’s Madam Lin.” Mr. Luo seemed quite surprised. “It’s so late, what brings you looking for me?”
“Mr. Luo, as you know, we simply couldn’t find the Curative Herb. We certainly didn’t mean to become enemies with you; it was all that impetuous youngster being presumptuous!” Madam Lin apologized repeatedly, “I just wanted to ask you to show mercy to me and Qingwen when the agreed deadline comes.”
Mr. Luo laughed, “You mean to say, you really can’t deliver the Curative Herb?”
He already knew the outcome of this matter.
Unless Lin Weilan returned to the Lin Family, but given her stubborn nature, she would not. In the end, she would fall right into his trap.
He had Lin Qingwen, that brainless fool, to thank for completing this final task for him.
“Yes, the Curative Herb is so precious we truly can’t procure it.” Madam Lin was deeply ashamed, “So I had no choice but to come to you…”
“Alright, I understand,” Mr. Luo said, waving dismissively, “Don’t worry, you and your husband have done me a great service; I won’t let you down.”
With that assurance, Madam Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Protecting one’s own interests, her choice was the right one.

The next day.
Before morning reading, Su Xueqing entered the classroom, set down her backpack and asked, “Ah Lan, you received the package, right?”
“I’ve received it; Xueqing, does your friend like cabbage a lot?” Ye Wanlan asked.
Su Xueqing snorted, “He is pathologically obsessed with cabbage, a bit crazy; just ignore him.”
She started typing on her phone.
[Su Xueqing]: Can’t you leave some dignity for my friend in front of him? Rein in your cabbage obsession.
[Drug Peddler]: What do you know? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to grow cabbage! I have to care for them diligently so they can grow strong.
[Drug Peddler]: As for those herbs? Apart from some delicate materials, aren’t the rest just about scattering some seeds in the ground and watering them carelessly, and they grow on their own? Of course, they can’t compare to my cabbage!
Su Xueqing: “…”
Comparisons are odious.
If the Su Family and the foreign powers who purchased herbs heard this, it would certainly infuriate them.
[Su Xueqing]: Where exactly did you get your cultivation methods from?
[Drug Peddler]: Heh heh, you don’t know, right? That’s okay, I’ll tell you. My ancestors, you know them right? They specialized in managing the emperor’s vegetable and herb gardens. There was a year when Princess Yongning, after a secret visit, returned from Mount Penglai to Fengyuan and bestowed the cultivation methods upon my ancestors.
[Drug Peddler]: It’s just too bad they didn’t include cabbage!
Su Xueqing felt like blocking him but endured and simply turned off her phone screen, yet couldn’t help sighing, “Princess Yongning really was a remarkable figure.”
Ye Wanlan paused upon hearing her own title: “What?”
“It’s my herb-growing friend. He said that planting medicinal herbs used to give them quite a headache, but Princess Yongning brought back cultivation methods from Mount Penglai.” Su Xueqing explained, “She truly had extraordinary foresight; otherwise, we would have been left without herbs after the war.”
Ye Wanlan reflected, “It seems there’s indeed such a matter.”
Although she had excellent memory, with 999 years of time loops and memories of several lifetimes, unimportant details still got erased from her mind.
“Hmm, historical records do mention that Princess Yongning had a few private excursions, but the specifics weren’t written down.” Su Xueqing pondered, “Such anecdotes could only be passed down from generation to generation by those who experienced the events.”
“Yes,” Ye Wanlan smiled softly, “As long as the bloodline of Shenzhou remains unbroken, and People of Shenzhou are here, the legacy will never be lost.”
The backbone of Shenzhou will never bow, and even if shattered, it can be reforged.
“Is Ye Wanlan here?” came a chilly voice from the door.
Su Xueqing looked up, frowning, “Xue Yiwei, what does she want with you again? Can’t she let go? Of course, her pride has been challenged, and she’s always been this kind of person.”
Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent, “Don’t bother with her.”
“You want to attend the physics competition summer training camp, fine.” Xue Yiwei said coldly, “But I want to challenge you. In the next semester’s final exams, you won’t have to take history, take our physics class’s physics paper instead.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the students of Class 1 uniformly ceased their actions and looked toward Xue Yiwei.
“As long as you pass, you win,” Xue Yiwei watched the girl, “How about it, do you dare?”
Her gaze was icy, menacing.
