The Birth Of A Villainess

"Fourth Young Miss." Doctor Fang greeted her as soon as he opened the door and saw her standing before him.

"What can I do for you?" The old doctor asked. The night has already deepened and usually, most young ladies would retire to their beds no matter the situation they're in.

But currently, General Lin's condition was not good and as her granddaughter, Doctors Fang could understand why she would still be up.

But what he couldn't understand was where was the need to come and knock on his door when he was taking a rest for a bit after checking up on Lin Xiaomeng's condition for the last time for the night.

Did General Lin's condition relapse, perhaps?

Soon after thinking like this, Doctor Fang's expression crumbled and he was about to prepare to leave when he saw her extending her hands out to him.

'Hm?'

Doctor Fang wore a confused expression on his face as he stared at the palm-sized pouch in her hands..

"This is…?"

Lin Xiaofei hurriedly said without waiting for him to continue being confused at her sudden visit. "Can you make the antidote with this?"

Doctor Fang's eyes widened and he reached out to take the pouch from her. Anf as expected, the pouch weighed somewhat heavy than how it looked.

He hurriedly undid the tie around the pouch and looked at what's inside it. Just from earlier, he already had his eyes widened in surprise at her sudden visit but it couldn't compare to how round his eyes had gotten after seeing the contents of the pouch.

"Young miss! This is!"

Doctor Fang raised his head in shock as he looked at her.

"How can this be? How did you get all this in a short period of time!" He exclaimed, half delighted and half astounded.

Everything in the list that he wrote just a few hours ago was inside the pouch. From the rare items to the rarest and highest grade herbs. Everything could be found inside.

And not only that. The herbs were also at their best condition and as fresh as if it was plucked from a nearby garden just a couple of minutes ago!

But how can this be?

All the herbs that made it into his list couldn't be found in the empire. Heck, one wouldn't even find it easily even if one were to look hard for a long time in the entirety of the Eastern region as it could only be found in foreign lands.

He was initially in his worst mood as he already expected the demise of General Lin. As a friend of the general, Doctor Fang also wanted to save him but the reality was quite difficult to change as he has no way of getting all the herbs even if he went to an auction house and use up all his savings.

The most he could do was wait for the next auction and buy one or two items that might appear in the list of auction items. All this would of course need the cooperation of the Lin Feng and Lin Xiaofei.

What was this now? Not only did the fourth young miss of the Lin family successfully collected all the herbs that no one might be able to do, but she also got them in the shortest amount of time!

Doctor Fang stared at Lin Xiaofei as if she was a deity that needs to be worshipped.

Lin Xiaofei obviously ignored the worshipping eyes of the doctor and asked again, "Can you make the antidote with this?"

When the doctor was still too caught up with his worshipping mode, Lin Xiaofei frowned.

"Is this not enough?"

Or did Qu Xing Xu brought the wrong herbs?

As Lin Xiaofei started to doubt herself and the herbs inside the pouch, Doctor Fang excitedly exclaimed and tightened his hands around the pouch.

"No, of course not! This is more than enough!" Doctor Fang happily said. "I can even make not just one antidote but three vials of it!"

Hearing that, all the worries that started to climb up in her head flew away.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Then, hurry and make it now!" Lin Xiaofei hurried him off and dragged him back to Lin Xiaomeng's courtyard.

However, Doctor Fang awkwardly stopped her.

"What is it this time?" Lin Xiaofei asked him.

Doctor Fang shyly scratched his bearded chin as he said, "I need to bring my things with me first."

…

Lin Xiaofei watched Doctor Fang pound the herbs in a mortar bowl with a pestle.

It has been a couple of minutes since Doctor Fang excitedly started to make the antidote for Lin Xiaomeng.

He even hummed and whistled as he couldn't contain his emotions. But how can he not when he was actually making the antidote for his friend who was hovering over death.

Besides, when would he ever have the chance to make this Special Grade herb in his life? Not only that, even the most skilled doctor in the Eastern region would ever dream of making one either

That just not only proved how rare and sought-after these herbs and antidote were.

After all, it was an all-cure antidote for every poison.

Lin Xiaofei bit her lips as she waited for the doctor to finish making the antidote. She couldn't wait to see Lin Xiaomeng opening his eyes once again and be as robust as he was when she first saw him.

At this moment, the door to the room was forced open from outside as Lin Feng entered. Lin Xiaofei was feeling that this was deja vu from his previous grand entrance earlier, too.

"Is what I heard from your maid true?" Lin Feng swallowed his saliva as his eyes couldn't contain his joy and surprise.

As soon as Doctor Fang started making the antidote, Lin Xiaofei sent Su Tang to inform her uncle that the antidote was about to be created.

Lin Xiaofei simply nodded her head.

Seeing that, Lin Feng shouted in delight, "That's great!" He turned his head to Doctor Fang and asked, "Is that the antidote?"

"Yes, grand young master Lin Feng."

After the doctor's confirmation, Lin Feng sighed in relief. His eyes couldn't stop tearing up as he could already see his father standing before him and scolding him just like those times when he was still young.
