Chapter 491 The Little Carpenter Was Shaken
Su Xiaoxiao didn't give the witch any chance to react and directly asked her what it was. Seeing the witch pretending to be stupid in front of Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao directly said to the carpenter, "This is a magic mushroom that can cause hallucinations. If the dosage is not controlled properly, it can cause disability or even death."

"Ha ha……"

"Su Xiaoxiao, you must be joking. How could I use such incense for someone's wife? Besides, my incense burner is full of calming fragrances. What you're saying is a bit of an insult to me."

However, the witch was so guilty that she didn't dare to look Su Xiaoxiao in the eye. She knew that if she made eye contact with Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao would see right through her.

Realizing Su Xiaoxiao's gaze, the witch could no longer bear it. Before the foolish carpenter could react, she began to throw a tantrum and scream wildly.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Su Xiaoxiao? You have absolutely no shame!"

Just then, the carpenter's wife behind him began to struggle to her feet, her face filled with terror as she cried out, "Help! Someone, please save my child!"

Everyone rushed to take care of the lady behind them, only to find that her expression on the bed had become extremely ferocious, her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was talking nonsense.

Upon hearing that his wife had woken up and was still talking nonsense, the young carpenter quickly went in to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Everything will be alright. You and the baby will both be healthy and well."

Su Xiaoxiao could tell that the carpenter truly cherished his wife and treated her very well.

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the carpenter couldn't comfort her wife at all, probably because her wife was still in a state of excitement and couldn't control herself.

Finally, having no other choice, Su Xiaoxiao had to give the small pill she was carrying to the lady. After the pill was put into the lady's mouth, she became very quiet and gradually fell silent.

Su Xiaoxiao turned to the carpenter and said, "I think you should take this witch you invited away. If she stays here, your wife's health probably won't be able to take it. Besides, it's the middle of the night, and with all this noise, your neighbors are bound to complain."

Upon hearing this, the young carpenter realized that it truly made sense.

Su Xiaoxiao is right. The little carpenter still seems hesitant, unsure whether to trust Su Xiaoxiao and drive the witch away, or let her stay to treat his wife.
In the end, he made a wrong decision and went straight to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "I think you and Young Master Qian should go back to the guest room to rest as soon as possible. My wife's condition is not good. No matter what this is, whether it is magic mushrooms or something else, I don't want to continue to entangle ourselves with it."

The carpenter's words seemed to indicate that he was very tired and wanted Su Xiaoxiao and the others to leave as soon as possible, which Su Xiaoxiao also noticed.

He seemed to have been completely defeated in this battle with the witch. "So you're not planning to continue seeking my treatment?"

The young carpenter didn't dare look Su Xiaoxiao in the eye, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "No, it's not that. I still think you, Dr. Su, can't cure my wife's illness. Please leave, both of you! By the way, I will still pay for the medical expenses."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the carpenter and sighed, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't force you!"

The witch seemed quite pleased. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and said smugly, "Dr. Su, look, now the little carpenter believes me but not you, right? I told you before that the lady's illness can't be cured by just any herbal medicine, so please give up!"

Su Xiaoxiao could hardly believe it was real. The witch in front of her had won. She wasn't just skilled in witchcraft; she had completely bewitched the carpenter's family, even to the point of utter disbelief. The carpenter's wife had clearly been poisoned by the mushrooms, yet they still didn't believe her. She didn't know how to explain it.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't actually too worried, knowing that the poisonous mushrooms wouldn't immediately kill the carpenter's wife. However, she was concerned that prolonged exposure would cause serious harm to his wife's health and the unborn child.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to argue with her anymore. The little carpenter had made up her mind and directly gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to proceed.

"I won't keep Dr. Su any longer. You and Young Master Qian should go ahead. It's best to leave now. With a shaman like this at home, I don't need to go out and look for any other miracle doctors. I don't think you have the ability to cure my wife's illness!"

Su Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this. She thought to herself, "You are so old-fashioned and ignorant. I don't think you deserve to have any descendants."

But you can't say such angry words out loud, lest you get beaten up by the carpenter.

Since the carpenter looked down on her today and didn't respect her, Su Xiaoxiao decided that she would fight for herself this time.

"I just want to see if you can actually cure my wife's illness."

Encouraged by the witch, the young carpenter also put forward such an idea.

“The sorcerers I invited couldn’t cure my wife’s illness, so how can you do it? I don’t believe it.”

As expected, the little carpenter still looked down on Su Xiaoxiao. Today, Su Xiaoxiao really had to show her courage.

Why do you look down on us like this? Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the carpenter and said directly to him, "Just let me try. If it really works, I won't charge you."

The young carpenter had never heard anyone speak with such unwavering conviction, and he began to waver.

Well, the carpenter had already said what he wanted to say. He originally wanted to drive Su Xiaoxiao away, but now he was able to change his mind and even let Su Xiaoxiao give it a try.

After all, Su Xiaoxiao was a miracle doctor highly recommended by the village chief, and he had heard some of her glorious deeds in saving lives.

She not only actually saved those people, but also refused to accept any reward.

Compared to the witch in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao felt that the witch had always been getting a lot of money from her.

"Alright, I'll give you one last chance. Stop making excuses like magic mushrooms and just give my wife a proper look!"
