Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 333 Strange Poisonous Herb
"Tsk tsk tsk"

Seeing her colleague clicking her tongue at the female celebrity's back view, the nurse patted her and said, "What are you doing? Lend me a pen."

Thinking of what she had overheard earlier, Ding Yingzhen shook her head and handed her the pen from her pocket. "It's nothing. You can't judge a book by its cover."

"A rich heiress and a big star, it's normal for her to have a bad temper. I feel a bit disillusioned. I used to like her quite a bit, but she's also quite pitiful. Look, she's changed her verified name online, and the Xu family hasn't responded to her online thanks. She's obviously been kicked out. Rich families can be so cold-blooded." He noted down the time for the next room round and casually put the pen in his pocket.

"You can't say that if you don't know the truth! Hey! Give me back my pen! How many pens have you taken from me already!"

"Hey hey hey"

The alteration of Xu Daiqing's Weibo verification has stirred up another wave online. Immediately afterwards, a lawyer's letter was issued by Yuantian Group, explaining that the Xu family would pursue the matter to the end regarding Cheng Ying's malicious switching of the two children, and the police had also opened a case for investigation.

The incident occurred 19 years ago, and many things are unverifiable and still need further investigation.

The Xu and Gu families both forwarded the Weibo posts that Yuntian Group would post next, fully expressing their stance.

Netizens online and members of various prominent families and high society in Kyoto became even more curious about Yang Nianqing, the true heiress who had never shown her face.

These events have had no effect on Yang Nianqing at all; she is currently gathering herbs on the mountain with Gu Tangtang and Fan Meini.

The two diligently used the spirit sword given to them by Yang Nianqing to cut through the wild grass and withered branches that were half a person tall, clearing a path for Yang Nianqing.

Guan Yu stood by, ready to support her at any moment. In her mind, pregnant women were very fragile. When her sister-in-law was pregnant with Jinjin, her whole family treated her as if she were carrying a bomb. Pregnant women couldn't be tired or upset, and the more advanced the pregnancy, the more careful they had to be.

Yang Nianqing, who was looking at the compass, noticed Guan Yu's cautious, restless hand and smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." She has now cultivated to the Celestial Master realm, with spiritual power protecting her body and many protective magic artifacts. She has also passed the most vulnerable first three months of pregnancy. With her physique, she can climb mountains and run marathons without any problem.

Remembering Fan Ruichen's repeated warnings before they left, Guan Yu shook her head. She decided to be careful.

If Fan Ruichen hadn't been flying abroad on business today, he definitely would have gone with him. Mo Mo had been a keyboard warrior at home for a week, spending seven days and seven nights arguing with people online. He wouldn't wake up even if he were struck by lightning.

Since Mo Mo, being unreliable, couldn't come, Fan Ruichen had no choice but to hire someone else with strong abilities to protect his wife.

Guan Yu looked up at the female ghost Fan Mixue, now called Su Xue, who was floating above them.

She never imagined that one day she would be able to live peacefully with a ghost.

Noticing Guan Yu's gaze, Su Xue descended and hovered beside her, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Su Xue nodded and floated over to Yang Nianqing, who was looking at a compass.

"Beautiful Qing, what kind of medicine are you looking for on this mountain? Can't even the Fan family buy it?" The Fan family holds a very high position in the capital. Medicines that even the Fan family can't get must be extremely precious.

"This herb is quite special. Not many people know that it can be used in medicine, and it has very high requirements for its growing environment. We haven't been able to find it after so many days. I think this mountain has a lot of spiritual energy, so I came out today to try my luck. If I really can't find it, I'll have to modify the prescription again."

Yang Nianqin sighed. She had examined the Gu family members' bodies and found that their constitutions could indeed absorb the spiritual medicine she made very well. However, opening up their meridians was not so simple. Their bodies could not withstand overly powerful pills. In the past few days, she had been constantly adjusting the prescription, adding common medicinal herbs from the modern world to neutralize the medicinal properties. Now, she was still missing one ingredient.

That herb thrives in auspicious locations.

"There's a feng shui treasure land hidden in these mountains?" Fan Meini asked in confusion.

Earlier, her sister-in-law mentioned taking them to a feng shui-auspicious location to find medicinal herbs, and she had wanted to ask about it. Her family held a high position in the business world, and she naturally knew that most business people believed in feng shui. The villa complex her family developed had also been inspected by a feng shui master at great expense, which is why those villas were highly sought after in Kyoto's high society. She had assumed good feng shui simply meant a place with beautiful scenery, but now it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.

Yang Nianqing nodded. "That's why I brought you two here today. We're here to learn about Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a discipline about vital energy. Only in places where the wind is sheltered and water is gathered can there be vital energy. Vital energy is the energy that allows all things to grow and develop. It is the element that revitalizes all things. The Book of Burial also says that the Yin and Yang energies, when exhaled, become wind; when they rise, they become clouds; when they fall, they become rain; when they move within the earth, they become vital energy; and when they are released, they give birth to all things."

"Simply put, when there is vitality, the mountains are green, the water is clear, and all things flourish."

Following the compass's directions, the group arrived at a pool of water. The scenery there was exceptionally beautiful. Gu Tangtang and Fan Meini looked around for a while and soon ran to Yang Nianqing with a bunch of strange and unusual plants in their arms.

"Sister-in-law, look, is this it? It looks so unique!" Fan Meini held up a strange purple flower with curled leaves.

Gu Tangtang also held a strange grass covered in thorns, and excitedly pinched it between two trembling fingers, saying, "Cousin, look at this!"

"Let me see."

Yang Nianqing looked in the direction they were pointing, and her smile immediately froze on her face. What were those plants and flowers if not the poisonous plants described in the books?
"Throw it away!"

"what?"

The two looked puzzled, but before they could even ask, a sharp pain shot through their hands as they held the weeds. They quickly threw the weeds away, and large, red blisters appeared on their hands at a visible speed. In no time, their hands were covered with terrifying red bumps, which were growing larger and larger, even showing signs of spreading to their faces.

The excruciating pain and the unknown fear of impending disfigurement overwhelmed the two, causing them to break down in tears. They frantically cried out for Yang Nianqing to save them.

"Fuck!"

Guan Yu was also startled by the two and quickly stepped forward to help them up.

"Don't move them, don't touch them, they might be contagious!" Su Xue, who was flying over quickly from a distance, hurriedly called out to stop them.

"Qingqing, something's not right here!"

Su Xue said seriously.

Yang Nianqing also noticed something was wrong. Although these were poisonous plants, the poison was taking effect far too quickly, and the toxins were far too terrifying. In her understanding, these poisonous plants shouldn't be this toxic, and some of them shouldn't even be in this place. Their growing environment should be a dark and damp swamp.

Seeing that Fan Meini and the other girl were terrified, Yang Nianqing quickly took out some ointment and applied it to them. The two girls didn't even care about the smell of the ointment.

After applying brown ointment to the red bumps on both of them, they looked like they had crawled out of the mud.

Guan Yu stepped forward to examine the red bumps on their bodies. Seeing that they were fading, she breathed a sigh of relief. "You were so scared! It's alright, it's alright, it'll be fine in a bit." She smiled and comforted the two of them. Guan Yu's nerves relaxed as well, and a foul stench wafted over.

"Ugh!!!" Guan Yu immediately pinched her nose. Qingqing's medicine was still as good as its reputation, with good effects but the taste was still just as strong!
"Sister Xiaoyu!" the two shouted in unison.

"hey-hey."

Yang Nianqing placed his hand on the poisonous plants and released his spiritual power to sense them. Wisps of purple aura emanated from the plants.

"This is... demonic power?"

Su Xue turned to Yang Nianqing in confusion and asked.

Just as Yang Nianqing was about to answer, a nimble figure attacked them!
