I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 212: Interrogation

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiuhong came back with two sets of medicine, pouting slightly. She said to Shu Wanniang unhappily, “Aunt, Physician Pang clearly knows that Cousin is pretending, but he still prescribed such expensive herbs for her. There’s either ginseng or lingzhi in it. He said that it’s to nourish the Qi and blood and strengthen the organs. He also used many terms that I didn’t understand. Anyway, in a nutshell, it’s expensive. One set of medicine costs 1 tael and 50 copper coins, and he prescribed three sets at once. Cousin’s medicine cost only 23 copper coins per set.”

Smiling, Shu Wanniang said, “In order for this to look more real, no matter what, you have to buy this medicine. Otherwise, others will know what’s going on once they find out. Since that medicine is so precious, keep it first. It might be useful in the future.”

“Don’t.” Having heard the gist of it in the room, Mu Yangling quickly sat up. “Mother, brew it for me to drink. Since the herbs have already been mixed together, it might expire if we keep it for longer.”

Shu Wanniang was stunned. “How can you take medicine casually when you’re not injured? What if you get sick after taking it?”

‘Dear Mother, I’m really sick.’ Mu Yangling couldn’t voice her bitterness and could only say, “I’m just trying to make it more realistic. How can there be no smell of medicine in the courtyard when I’m injured?”

Smiling, Shu Wanniang said, “I’ve already thought it through. Since your brother has to take medicine too, we can just brew his medicine. It’s not as if passers-by can tell what medicine it is just based on the medicinal fragrance alone. You just lie in bed obediently for two days, and we’ll be able to cover up this lie.” Seeing that Mu Yangling really wanted to take medicine, Shu Wanniang looked at her suspiciously. “Don’t tell me you’re really injured?”

“Mother, do I look like I’m injured? I just felt that it’s a waste to keep it since this medicine is so expensive. Besides, most of the herbs are tonic. Anyway, I’ve been very tired recently so I can use some nourishment.”

Knowing her daughter wasn’t someone who would take medicine so as not to waste it, Shu Wanniang looked at her suspiciously.

Mu Yangling could only keep a straight face and puff out her chest to prove that she was really fine.

Shu Wanniang took the prescription and looked at it. In the end, she said, “That’s fine too. I’ll go brew medicine for you and your brother now.”

Shu Wanniang knew that her daughter was most likely injured. Otherwise, she wouldn’t waste the medicine just because it was expensive. Since she didn’t want to say it out loud and make everyone worry, she would pretend not to know.

However, knowing that her daughter was injured, Shu Wanniang couldn’t help but feel a little worried. In the evening, she didn’t let her get out of bed during dinner. At night, she even handed the twins to Great-aunt to take care of them and moved over to sleep with Mu Yangling and Bowen so that she could take care of her.
