After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 496 The Addictive Magic

Su Xiaoxiao's words completely enlightened the young carpenter.

At this moment, the carpenter was filled with remorse. He roared at the witch, "You wicked woman! I thought you were the most powerful sorcerer in our country, but you're just a charlatan who swindles people everywhere!"

The witch tried to deny it, but the truth had already been revealed, and no matter how she explained, it wouldn't make sense.

But the witch still made a last-ditch effort, "Think about it, even if I haven't done anything meritorious, I've still worked hard all this time, haven't I? I haven't done anything to harm the lady, have I?"

Upon hearing this, the young carpenter became even more furious and speechless. "Haha... If I were to wait for you to make something that would harm my wife, wouldn't my wife also die? You're just a charlatan!"

As he spoke, he prepared to go out and find the government officials to arrest the witch.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the witch, looked down at her, and asked, "Indeed, I can let you go today, but you have to tell us the whole truth."

Seeing that there was still some hope, the witch quickly said, "Could you remove the needles from my leg?"

Su Xiaoxiao realized that this person was quite adept at blackmailing her!

"Row."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao pulled out the silver needle that had been stuck in the witch's leg.

The witch moved her body and found that her legs seemed to have regained the ability to move freely.

Upon seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was so capable, the witch hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Su Xiaoxiao again.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Su. You saved me today. I am truly grateful!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just tell me the truth!"

Seeing that the carpenter wasn't there and that his wife was already fast asleep, the witch figured it wouldn't hurt to tell the truth.

"Actually, I was too greedy. I was invited here by the carpenter and found out that his wife's illness was just a miscarriage. But I noticed that the carpenter was very worried about his wife, as this was his first child. I could tell he wasn't short of money, so a wicked plan formed in my mind."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Wow, you're really something! You know your plan is a vicious one!"

That's absolutely shameless of you!
"Then I learned by chance that there were hallucinogenic poisonous mushrooms growing outside the carpenter's window, so I came up with a plan to turn these poisonous mushrooms into spices and put them in the incense burner."

"But I really didn't mean to hurt her. Please believe me, okay?"

The carpenter had just returned from outside and angrily said to them, "The officials will be here soon, witch, you're going to jail!"

Soon, government officials arrived, arrested the witch, and took her away. This was truly unexpected. The witch cursed inwardly and immediately shouted, "What kind of behavior is this? You broke your promise and took me away after telling me all my crimes. Su Xiaoxiao, you bad person!"

Su Xiaoxiao spat at her dismissively, "If we're talking about bad people, I don't think anyone here is as bad as you, right?"

After the witch was captured, the carpenter breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Thanks to your help today. Tell me, Dr. Su, what request do you have? I can grant it." Su Xiaoxiao was genuinely happy this time; she hadn't expected the carpenter to be so generous. All she wanted him to do was ask him to help her buy a few pieces of furniture for her home.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly thought of her former neighbor, Wang Er, who was also a carpenter and very skillful.

Almost every time Su Xiaoxiao asked him to make furniture for her, Wang Er would immediately understand and make it for her.

Let's see if this young carpenter from Wangshui Village has the skill.

Su Xiaoxiao drew out some of her ideas for the carpenter, who admitted that this was the first time he had ever seen such a design.

Previously, even if someone wanted furniture made, they would just tell them roughly whether they wanted a table or a chair, and that was it.

At most, that person would just say a few words about the style, but no one would ever show him the design drawings.

The young carpenter was a bit bewildered when he held the design drawings. What on the drawings was actually something? He found it strange and even thought he had misread it.

However, after Su Xiaoxiao explained it to him, he immediately understood. After all, he had been a carpenter for many years and still had a solid foundation. Even if some furniture designs were more complex or more modern, he could still understand them instantly.

The carpenter thought that since Su Xiaoxiao had saved his wife's life, she should at least ask for some money, maybe even several hundred taels, and he would have to pay for it himself.

But they didn't want any money, they just wanted him to make a few pieces of furniture. Where else can you find such a good deal?

The young carpenter said emotionally, "Dr. Su is our greatest benefactor this time, so no matter what, I will definitely do my best to help you. Wait for my good news about the furniture; I will deliver it to your home within three days!"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't stop smiling after hearing this, and turned to look at Qian Musheng beside her.

Qian Musheng was also helpless, thinking to himself that Su Xiaoxiao certainly didn't care about money or fame.

It's really hard to understand why she goes to so much trouble to help others, and in the end, she doesn't seek fame or fortune.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao said goodbye to the carpenter and his wife, and then walked out of the carpenter's house with Qian Musheng.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was in a very good mood today, humming a little tune all the way. Qian Musheng was actually quite happy for Su Xiaoxiao when he saw her so happy.

"Are you that happy? Have you forgotten when the carpenter misunderstood you? You've forgotten when the whole world didn't believe you and was against you!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't think it mattered at all; she just believed that these were things she deserved, so she rolled her eyes at Qian Musheng.

"You can't understand the joy of saving lives. Anyway, you're not a doctor, so there's no point in me explaining it to you."

Qian Musheng stared intently at Su Xiaoxiao as she earnestly explained herself, her expression seemingly saying, "All of this is the happiness I deserve, and treating people is my lifelong wish."

At this moment, Qian Musheng felt that the woman in front of him was really intoxicating. This woman seemed to have a kind of magic, but what exactly was she made of, and why did she have such magic, constantly attracting him to get closer to her?
