The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Deputy General Wu was furious that he hadn't received the snake-repelling powder from Shadow Eleven.

"What kind of bullshit female war goddess is this? I don't even know where she stole the recipe for this snake repellent powder from. If you don't give me the medicine, I won't get bitten by a snake."

Enraged, Deputy General Wu took his knife and slashed at the little green snake that had been chasing him.

But the little green snake was very small, thin and agile, and soon Vice General Wu was bitten on the left arm by the little green snake.

The left arm swelled up to twice its original size in the blink of an eye, and the wound turned black, which was particularly terrifying.

Deputy General Wu finally lowered his proud head, pleading, "Please, save me."

Gong Yu swung his sword, slicing the small green snake that had bitten Vice General Wu in two.

Ying Shiyi thought to herself, "The young master timed the snake strike perfectly, acting immediately after the snake bit Vice General Wu."

That Deputy General Wu is truly foolish, daring to mock Miss Su in front of the young master.

Hasn't he heard? Our young master loves his wife dearly. Oh, no, the young master and Miss Su aren't married yet, but it'll be soon.

Shadow Eleven said to the soldiers, "It's too late today, it's almost dark. The young master said we'll set off tomorrow morning. You can go home tonight to say goodbye to your families."

Today, the capital city is different from usual. After dark, the people in the capital are all walking in a hurry.

The busiest place in the entire capital was the medical clinic.

The Jimin Medical Clinic, the closest to Gu's Teahouse, was packed with people.

The gaunt old shopkeeper stood outside the gate and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone, our medicine for treating snake venom sold out three days ago. Please look elsewhere."

The old shopkeeper thought to himself, even if they weren't all sold out, ordinary people still couldn't afford them.

The antidote for snake venom, which originally cost a few dozen coins, has now been sold for several dozen taels of silver, making it unaffordable for most ordinary people.

The people were very disappointed.

"We've been to so many clinics, this is the last one, but we still can't buy the medicine to treat snake venom."

"A few years ago, when the Western Xia Kingdom invaded our Great Qi border, I heard that they first sent out poisonous snakes to bite the people. Since we don't have any antidote for snake venom, why don't we flee the capital? Let's get far away from here."

The backyard of Gu's Tea House was bustling with activity, filled with the scent of pine branches and torches.

The workers are working tirelessly to produce snake repellent powder.

Although Su Qianqian asked the people from the teahouse and clothing store to go to the manor in the suburbs of Beijing for a few days, none of them wanted to go, preferring to stick with her.

Many of the shop assistants in the teahouses and clothing stores come from Qinghe County.

They were grateful that Miss Su had given them the opportunity to come to the bustling capital city, and that Miss Su had given them a different life.

Moreover, Miss Su also gave each of them a sachet containing snake-repelling powder.

I heard that even high-ranking officials in the capital can't buy this now; only the emperor in the palace has it.

Their treatment was almost like that of an emperor, which made the shop assistants next door extremely envious. They all said they wanted to work at Gu's shop.

Looking at the mountain of medicinal herbs, Su Qianqian said, "It looks like everyone will be staying up all night tonight. In two hours, I'll personally make everyone a midnight snack—braised pork noodles."

Upon hearing this, the men's mouths watered, and they became even more motivated.

Miss Su's cooking is exceptionally delicious, but she is a very busy person and rarely cooks herself.

They thoroughly enjoyed the elm seed steamed buns that Miss Su made last time, and even after so long, they still savor the memory.

Hu Pingfan with the goatee was very busy because people kept coming to give gifts to Miss Su.

I'm receiving so many gifts that my hands are sore.

The Duke of Anguo's mansion sent over antidote for snake venom, as did the Sikong and Meng families, two of the five great families.

These families were all prominent noble families and powerful clans.

Miss Su is really something!

It's all thanks to my foresight, Hu Pingfan, that I made up my mind early on to follow Miss Su.

After Hu Pingfan finished counting, he handed the recorded transaction slip to Su Qianqian.

"Miss Su, it's normal for the previous families to send antidote for snake venom, but I didn't expect the Murong family, the head of the five great families, to also send antidote. The person who came said that he was acting on the orders of their young master, Murong Changyu. Could it be that he sent a fake medicine?"

Su Qianqian picked out several packets of snake venom antidote that Murong Changyu had sent. Judging from the smell, it was a high-quality snake venom antidote and was not adulterated.

Mo Xiaobei listened to the conversation between Miss Su and Hu Pingfan and secretly decided to hurry up and tell the young master the news.

Murong Changyu must have ulterior motives, trying to steal the young master's girlfriend. At a time like this, even money can't buy antidote for snake venom, yet Murong Changyu actually had a whole box of it delivered.

Su Qianqian handed the antidote given to her by Murong Changyu to Xu Ruofeng, saying, "Ruofeng, give everyone a packet to carry with them."

"Yes, boss."

Su Qianqian saw this when she went out today: snake venom antidote is in high demand right now.

The nearby clinics were all packed with people, all scrambling to get medicine to treat snake venom.

This reminded Su Qianqian of her past life, when the COVID-19 pandemic first started and people were frantically buying masks. Masks that usually cost two yuan a pack suddenly jumped to tens of yuan.

Hu Pingfan soon came to the backyard again.

"Miss Su, Lord Xue from the Ministry of Rites has arrived, bringing three packets of antidote for snake venom."

Mo Xiaobei: "Only two packs?"

Hu Pingfan explained, "Although there are only two packets, I heard that he only received five packets of snake venom antidote in total. He kept two packets for himself as backup and sent the other three over. It's a small gift but a great sentiment."

Su Qianqian found two gray cloth bags, filled them with thirty packets of snake venom antidote and thirty packets of snake repellent powder, and handed them to Hu Pingfan.

"Hu Pingfan, these are my return gifts for Lord Xue. Please take them and give them to him."

"Yes, Miss Su, rest assured, I will make Lord Xue grateful."

Hu Pingfan carried two cloth bags out of the teahouse and handed the bags to Lord Xue.

Actually, outside, there was not only Lord Xue, but also Lord Lin kneeling and begging for forgiveness. The Empress of Western Xia had said that she would visit Gu's Teahouse when she came to the capital, but Gu's Teahouse was sealed off by him, so he could only kneel and beg for forgiveness.

Lord Lin hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and his knees were numb from kneeling.

Hu Pingfan said in front of Lord Lin, "Lord Xue, take this quickly. Our Miss Su is the most loyal of all. You only sent three packets of snake venom antidote, but our Miss Su's return gift to you is thirty packets of antidote, plus thirty packets of snake repellent powder."

Lord Lin was very surprised. His subordinates had just reported that they couldn't even buy a single packet of the antidote, but Miss Su had given him thirty packets in one go.

Now, a single package of these items is being sold for tens or even hundreds of taels of silver. These medicines alone are worth around six thousand taels of silver.

Miss Su is so generous.

How could a young girl like her have so many good things? Could these antidotes and snake repellent powder be counterfeit?

It's definitely fake. I heard that snake repellent powder is so rare that even the imperial palace doesn't have enough to go around. Many of the emperor's concubines couldn't get any. How could such a precious item be given away so easily, especially in such a huge quantity as thirty packets!
