Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1187 1 piece of nonsense

That being said, it's really hard to say who suffered more in this situation.

Coincidentally, Jiang Xiaochuan had a firm grasp on both of their weaknesses.

This muddled lawsuit must be settled clearly today, no matter what.

To say that these two retainers actually chopped up the sixth brother?

That's absolutely not possible!

Jiang Xiaochuan was still hoping that the fat man would lead him into the Holy Tomb.

Besides, he had accidentally damaged Lao Liu's Yin-locking coffin before.

Judging from his cunning and wicked nature in giving Situ Hong laxatives and beating him up, this matter is probably not over yet.

I'm afraid that when we enter the tomb, he'll lead us down a dead end full of traps, and then we'll have nowhere to cry.

So today, we must make Lao Liu feel comfortable and get rid of all his previous resentment so that we can entrust our backs to him with peace of mind when we go into the tomb.

As for Situ Hong—Jiang Xiaochuan glanced at the still angry young master and chuckled inwardly: Anyway, it's not the first time I've tricked him, he's probably used to it.

"You chased after him for two days over this trivial matter?"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly straightened his face and looked at Situ Hong with a serious expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed two men beside him frowning and scrutinizing him. These two old men had sharp eyes and were clearly harder to fool than Situ Hong. With so many people around, he needed to get rid of them first.

Situ Hong was stunned on the spot, blinking his eyes which were swollen like a panda's. He was trying to mediate the fight just a second ago, so why did he suddenly speak up for Lao Liu?

He stiffened his neck, lacking confidence: "Isn't that right? He gave me laxatives and then hit me with a stick. Who wouldn't be angry?"

"That's not right."

Jiang Xiaochuan spoke slowly, then abruptly changed the subject, uttering a statement that shocked everyone present: "You shouldn't hate him; you should thank him instead."

Upon hearing this, not only did Situ Hong's eyes widen, but even Lao Liu was stunned.

Has this guy taken the wrong medicine?

"What nonsense!"

One of the worshippers immediately lost his composure. Wasn't this treating them like monkeys?

"If you can't give me a straight answer today, this office might have to be torn down and rebuilt!"

Another retainer stepped forward, forming a pincer movement, and said coldly, "That's right! They're obviously favoring this fat man. Do they really think the retainers of the Situ family are just for show?"

The two sang in unison, their combined presence so overwhelming it was hard to breathe.

Jiang Xiaochuan, however, remained completely calm. He even raised an eyebrow. He had already calculated everything clearly in his mind. As long as he hit Situ Hong's weakness of "being afraid of losing face," these two retainers would be useless no matter how arrogant they were.

"I have my reasons for saying this."

Jiang Xiaochuan deliberately glanced at Situ Hong's face, "However, the reason for this involves Young Master Hong's medicinal conditioning, and it's all private."

"If word gets out that you're all here, who in Beijing's social circles won't laugh at him?"

These words struck a nerve with Situ Hong, who immediately waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright! You guys go outside and wait!"

"Master!"

The temple caretaker surnamed Zhang hurriedly reached out to grab Situ Hong's arm, "This kid is clearly on Fatty's side, deliberately trying to trick you! If we're not here, and those two try to harm you—"

These words, far from changing Situ Hong's decision, actually relieved him.

In truth, Jiang Xiaochuan saved my life.

Deep down, he didn't believe Jiang Xiaochuan would do anything to harm him; on the contrary, he became even more curious about why Jiang Xiaochuan said he had to thank Lao Liu.

Seeing that Situ Hong had made up his mind, the two exchanged a glance and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If they tried to stop him, they would only be accused of "insubordination".

The two could only leave unwillingly. Before leaving, the Zhang family retainer turned back and glared fiercely at the sixth brother.

But Lao Liu was covering his mouth to suppress a laugh, his shoulders swaying, and he didn't respond at all.

Those two old geezers almost made him fall into a ditch last time, and now seeing them get their comeuppance makes him incredibly happy.

With a click, the office door finally closed.

Jiang Xiaochuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to be on good terms with those two retainers, they might really have to take action. Those two old geezers were so eager to protect their master that they would definitely target the sixth brother first.

If Lao Liu is gone, the clues to entering the Holy Tomb will be completely cut off, and all the previous groundwork will be in vain.

He composed himself, walked around to Situ Hong, and gently poked the fabric of his suit jacket at the waist with his finger.

Situ Hong jerked as if pricked by a needle, immediately raising her hand to slap his hand away, wincing in pain: "Why did you poke me? It hurts so much!"

That spot happened to be the one that had been hurting the most recently, and when it was poked like that, a tingling and numb sensation shot straight up his spine.

He almost lost his balance and quickly reached out to steady himself on the desk.

"Sure enough."

Jiang Xiaochuan withdrew his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Think about the medicinal wine I gave you before. It's potent and can temporarily boost your 'energy,' but it's essentially for stabilizing and regulating your body; it's not an aphrodisiac."

Situ Hong was taken aback at first, then frowned and said somewhat indignantly, "Why didn't you explain it to me clearly back then?"

"Who would have thought you'd act like an unrestrained animal?"

Jiang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You've been staying up all night and going to bars all year round, indulging yourself recklessly because you're young. Your kidneys are completely depleted."

"That medicinal wine is used to help you replenish your kidney essence and strengthen your vital energy, so that you can gradually recuperate."

"But you, on the other hand, treat it like a 'happy water,' and after drinking it, you even more agitated. Aren't you turning a medicinal medicine into a death warrant?"

"...Starting from the second day after drinking the medicinal wine, did you feel a dull ache in your lower back? Especially after you've been active at night, the pain is more pronounced, and sometimes it feels cold."

Situ Hong swallowed hard, his hand unconsciously reaching for his side. Jiang Xiaochuan had been right!

A few days ago, he kept feeling a heaviness in his lower back, and the pain was even more severe when he turned over in bed at night.

He thought it was just because he hadn't rested well, but he never expected it was a problem with the medicinal wine.

Hearing this, the sixth brother subconsciously touched his own waist, secretly surprised, "How come I have this problem too?"

"its not right!"

Old Six secretly slapped his head, then realized that no matter who it was, if they indulged too much in that area, how could their kidneys not hurt?

Situ Hong had no time to ponder what Lao Liu said.

From the moment the two retainers left the office, he believed Jiang Xiaochuan's words, and his voice unconsciously softened:

"Then...then I won't have any major problems now, right? Could it be...that I'll lose my virility in the future?"

"That's why I say, it's all thanks to Lao Liu."

Jiang Xiaochuan changed the subject, "He gave you laxatives and ambushed you, seemingly to harm you, but in reality to save you!"

"Think about it, the laxative made you have diarrhea all night. Although your legs were weak, it completely expelled the accumulated internal heat and dampness from your body,"

"The burden on the kidneys was immediately lightened, and the blow was even more timely... Where did that blow land?"
