Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Ask For Bai Xifeng’s Help

"Is he a pharmacist?" Lei Meifen asked.

"I don’t know about that." Lei Anlei said.

Bai Xifeng went and checked Old Madam Lei’s condition. She took her pulse reading. The flow of the Qi inside Old Madam Lei’s was indeed strange. She checked further. The Qi was circulating around Old Madam Lei’s heart and sometimes blocking the blood that had been pumped.

Right now, Bai Xifeng was sure that Old Madam Lei’s Qi was unstable because of her heart. Her heart was supposed to allow the blood and the Qi to flow together. Because the Qi surrounded the heart, the blood could not pass through. If this matter allowed to continue, Old Madam Lei for sure would pass one month.

Bai Xifeng stood up. She turned around and faced Lei Aiguo. Lei Aiguo tried to read Bai Xifengs’s expression but he found nothing.

"Can you tell me what did that pharmacist tell about your mother’s illness?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Eh... Oh... He told me that my mother suffered from excessive heat and it affected my mother’s body. So, we have to use Linglian Flower to control the temperature of my mother’s body." Lei Aiguo explained.

Bai Xifeng was sure right now that Pharmacist Leng did not have any intention to cure Old Madam Lei. He just wanted Lei Aiguo to find and hand over the Linglian Flower to him.

"What if I tell you that your mother does not need that Linglian Flower to heal?" Bai Xifeng looked at Lei Aiguo’s reaction.

Lei Aiguo was shocked. Not only him, but the whole family was shocked.

"Impossible." Lei Aiguo could not believe it.

"Your mother had a problem with her Qi. Her Qi did not flow together with the blood. Because of that, her heart had problems. Sometimes, it would stop functioning, then it would start functioning again. However, the Qi which surrounded the heart became thicker. If this continues, the heart will stop completely. And that time will come shortly. Probably in one month." Bai Xifeng explained the illness that Old Madam Lei had.

"Are you telling the truth?" Lei Aiguo was shaking when he asked this question.

"Well, I just stated what I know. That pharmacist probably wants Linglian Flower for himself. But he did not want to sacrifice himself to get the Linglian Flower." Bai Xifeng guessed. Then she continued. "It is up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I am just stating what I know from the check-up earlier."

Lei Aiguo was not responding. He stared at his mother for a long time.

"Call Pharmacist Shi." Lei Aiguo stated.

Lei Anlei went out and asked a servant to call Pharmacist Shi. Pharmacist Shi was the pharmacist that they hired to take care of Old Madam Lei. Pharmacist Hong was displeased when he was called again after just returning from Old Madam Lei’s courtyard earlier.

"Shi Hong, tell me about my mother." Lei Aiguo gritted his teeth asking for Shi Hong’s explanation.

Shi Hong did not catch Lei Aiguo and others’ expressions as he explained about Old Madam Lei’s illness. It was the same as Pharmacist Leng’s explanation.

"Are you telling the truth?" Lei Aiguo asked.

Lei Aiguo gave Shi Hong another chance since they were growing up together. Shi Hong flinched once. That reaction was caught by Lei Aiguo. Lei Aiguo released his aura to oppress Shi Hong. Lei Aiguo was stronger than Shi Hong who pursued his profession more than cultivation. So, it was easy for him to oppress Shi Hong with his aura. Shi Hong felt he could not breathe.

"What... are... you doing?" Shi Hong asked while coughing and holding his chest.

"How much that he pay you to lie to me?" Lei Aiguo asked while holding his anger.

Shi Hong became panicked. However, he still wanted to hide the thing from Lei Aiguo. While having difficulty talking, Shi Hong tried to convince him that he did not know what Lei Aiguo talking about.

"Aiguo... What... are... you talking... about? I... don’t understand." Shi Hong spoke.

"It is a lie, right? About my mother’s illness?" Lei Aiguo narrowed his eyes.

"No... No... I am not lying." Shi Hong shook his head.

Lei Aiguo heard enough. "Someone, take him to the dungeon. Stop all the news from spreading outside." He gave the order.

"What? No... You can’t... do that to me..." Shi Hong tried to stop Lei Aiguo.

The people came and dragged Shi Hong from the room. Shi Hong shouted once but after that, his mouth was blocked by some rags.

Lei Aiguo turned to Bai Xifeng. "Sir Bai, do you know how to cure my mother?"

"Do you believe me?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Lei Aiguo looked straight at Bai Xifeng’s eyes. The young man was so clear. He decided to trust this young man.

"Sir Bai, please help my mother. I will pay you 1 million taels." Lei Aiguo even bowed to Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng made a faint smile. "Sure. But you need to prepare the herbs. Don’t worry. There are no rare herbs like Linglian Flower. They are just normal herbs that you can go and buy at the herbs shop."

Hearing that, Lei Aiguo was relieved. He did not know what to do if Bai Xifeng also requested a rare herb.

"What herbs that we should prepare, Sir Bai?" Lei Aiguo asked.

"I will write the list of the herbs. You can go and buy it later." Bai Xifeng said.
