For example, the slightly sweet red wormwood, the somewhat sour arrowhead grass, and the sweet cage fruit... Wow, these are much more expensive than ordinary ginseng and snow lotus. Madam Nalan is really willing to spend a lot of money.
However, it is wishful thinking to expect Hexi to gradually lose her mind and become an idiot with just this little bit of medicine.
He Xi curled the corners of his mouth, and under Madam Nalan's scorching gaze, he drank the tonic in the teacup.
"Okay!" Madam Nalan showed a satisfied smile on her face, but her eyes were full of joy of success. "From now on, I will have someone send you supplements at this time every day. Hexi, you must drink them all obediently!"
When you drink enough for seven days, you will become my puppet! By then, you will live if I tell you to, and you will die if I tell you to!

Life in the Nalan Mansion was naturally much more luxurious and comfortable than in the other courtyards. There were delicacies, silks and satins every day, and beautiful maids to serve him personally.
However, Nanny Chen's face was full of anxiety. After she saw the maid Si Lu beside the Madam staring at He Xi drinking the tonic and leaving, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss, why does the Madam have people send you tonics every day, and why does she insist on finishing it before she stops."
When Si Lu left just now, there was a smug smile on her face because she couldn't help it.
He Xi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Ma'am. No one will send you off after today. But the fun is about to begin."
Nanny Chen was not relieved. Instead, her face wrinkled up. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard. "It's all my fault. I was such a blind old thing. I kept wanting you to come back. Who knew they wanted you to come back just to force you to take the blame for the Second Miss? I'm really sorry, Miss, and even more sorry to Madam..."
He Xi had no intention of stopping her from comforting her. He just smiled disdainfully and said, "You want to push me into the fire pit with just this little trick? Madam Nalan really underestimates me. Madam, don't forget, I am the one who crawled back from the gates of hell."
He Xi's words were not gentle and tactful, but Nanny Chen miraculously calmed down.
Looking at the young lady's indifferent expression, she always felt that she was growing so fast and powerful. In just over a month, she had become the master and support of everyone in the villa.
If the lady were still alive in heaven, she would be so happy to see a young lady like this!
Just as He Xi expected, after she drank the seventh bowl of tonic, Mrs. Nalan thought that everything was foolproof, and began to arrange for the Zhu father and son to come again.
The Zhu family is also a wealthy and famous family in Jinling City. The wife of Zhu Yijun, the old man of the Zhu family, is from a famous clan, and his younger sister Zhu Raorao married into the royal family and became a concubine. The sixth prince born to Zhu Raorao is also one of the emperor's favorite princes. If you don't count the family background, the Zhu family can be ranked on par with the four major families.
But the shrewd and powerful old man Zhu gave birth to a son who was as stupid as a pig. Not only was he weak and ugly, he also flirted with other women all day long and robbed women. He already had seven or eight concubines before he even married a wife.
Which decent lady from aristocratic family would be willing to marry such an ignorant fool? But Mr. Zhu didn't like girls from small families, so Zhu Yijun's marriage was delayed. (To be continued)
