“Replying to the young master, yesterday, when the madam throws the medicine bottle, she accidentally stepped on the shattered porcelain.” The maidservant replied.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “She throws the medicine bottle?”

Meng Nan looked at his unconscious mother on the bed, and said with an embarrassed expression: “It was due to carelessness, she didn’t do it on purpose.”

Meng Nan never lied. Was it on purpose? The answer was written on his face.

She doesn’t care. After all, it was not her who is suffering now but the person who threw the medicine bottle. What can she say? If you didn’t do it, you won’t die. But some people just love to do the opposite. And the more they do it, the faster they die.

If not for her good son, she would not bother to care about the person who neither listened to the doctor’s advice nor care about their own body.

Bai Zhi said: “Do things according to the method last time, feed her more water. She just fell ill, she will get better after taking the medicine. You don’t worry too much.”

Meng Yuande breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: “But the medicine you gave is gone.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “I know, I will start refining medicine immediately. Two hours are enough.”

Meng Yuande immediately asked the maidservant to lead her to the guest house where the pill furnace was placed last time. The pill furnace last time was still placed in the courtyard, and it can be used immediately.

Two hours later, the maidservant brought the newly-baked pill and delivered it.

Madam Meng just woke up. As soon as she saw the pill and smelled the familiar scent, she immediately asked: “Where did this come from?”

The maidservant didn’t dare to lie and immediately replied: “This is the pill that Miss Bai has just refined. She asked this slave to take it to the madam first.”

Madam Meng’s heart was immediately swallowed by anger. Especially, when she saw her husband and son, she was even more irritated. She grabbed the pill in the maidservant’s hand and threw it on the ground, then angrily said: “I will not take this medicine even if I die.”

Bai Zhi just walked to the door of the room and heard these words clearly. Without stopping, she went straight into the room and said with a smile: “Madam Meng, if you won’t take my medicine, you will definitely not survive until the end of this month.”

Madam Meng was furious: “Even if I die, I won’t take it, I won’t!”

Bai Zhi clapped her hands: “How courageous. This younger generation couldn’t help but admires. However, I want to remind you that if you really die, you can no longer control the Meng Family. In the future, your son can marry whoever he wants to marry. Maybe it’s me, or someone who you hate more. By then, I don’t know if you can rest in peace?”

Madam Meng’s hands trembled in anger, and her vision turned black for a while. However, she knew that what she was telling is true. If she died, how can she manage her son’s marriage? She won’t be able to see her son get married. She won’t be able to embrace her big fat grandson. Then, didn’t she live in vain in this life?

No, it cannot be like this, absolutely not.

Bai Zhi stuffed the medicine bottle into Meng Nan’s hands and left cold words for the last time: “If you want to manage your son’s marriage, you have to live. Only if you are alive, you can use your mouth. Otherwise, after you turn into a pile of loess, only one stick of incense and fragrant fruits the Qingming Winter Solstice you will get, and nothing else.”

Although her words were poisonous and sounded unpleasant, everyone knew inside their heart that she was deliberately stimulating Madam Meng.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Zhi’s words fell, she immediately grabbed the medicine bottle in Meng Nan’s hand, poured herself a pill, and swallowed it. She didn’t even drink water: “Want me to die? You want to enter our door when I die? I’m telling you, I will not die before you, I will never let you succeed.”

Bai Zhi didn’t speak another word and simply went straight away with her medicine box.

Meng Nan chased after her to send her off: “Zhi’er, you are wronged.”
