NovelEnglish348 Injured Young Man (1)
Seeing the magistrate's wife in such distress, Qin Zhenzhen felt a deep pang of empathy.
But she knew she had to step in and assist her.
The number of children in her household had truly become overwhelming!
There were four legitimate sons and daughters, along with six children from concubines. However, if Qin Zhenzhen were to be discovered, the governor might wrongly assume that she was behind this arrangement.
Qin Zhenzhen proposed a solution, saying, "How about this? I can enhance the original concoction with a touch of Immortal Pill. By taking this modified medicine, not only will there be no adverse effects, but it will also fortify your health."
"Moreover, when you decide not to continue, you can simply discontinue taking the medicine. You can still have children in the future."

"The scent of this pill is subtle, and it dissolves quickly in water. A single pill can last for half a month."
The prefect's wife was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Zhenzhen, I can't thank you enough!"
With this modified pill, she could discreetly mix it into the food without anyone noticing and give it to her governor. This would not only pacify his ire but also demonstrate her virtue and generosity.
To express her gratitude to Qin Zhenzhen, the magistrate's wife offered several sets of precious jewelry and insisted that Qin Zhenzhen choose one as a token of appreciation.
However, Qin Zhenzhen couldn't accept these cherished items; it went against her principles to take something others held dear.
She was not naive. The prefectural magistrate's wife and her eldest son were overseeing the family's business affairs, and she would need their support in the future to earn a living.
Seeing that Qin Zhenzhen hesitated to accept it, the magistrate's wife handed her a banknote worth a thousand taels.
"You must take this. Even if it's payment for the medicine, you must accept it. I understand that the Immortal Pill is an invaluable treasure, and you may not have much left."
Qin Zhenzhen graciously accepted the banknotes, her smile indicating her appreciation.
She could decline treasures, but banknotes were a different matter, especially since she had infused them with the "Immortal Pill."
For the prefectural magistrate's wife, a thousand taels of silver held substantial value. In local currency, it equated to around 300,000 yuan. However, Qin Zhenzhen regarded it as a matter of course.
At that moment, a frantic maid rushed over, the one who had taken Su Ning to play.
"Madam, while playing in the backyard with Miss Su, a wounded young man suddenly climbed over the wall, collapsing on the ground covered in blood!"
"I was terrified and immediately pulled Miss Su away."
"But Miss Su refused to leave, insisting that saving a life is more important than building a seven-story pagoda. She's determined to help."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I advised her against touching the young man. Men and women should not have physical contact…"
Qin Zhenzhen panicked and abruptly stood up. "Is my sixth sister alone in the backyard now?"
The magistrate's wife scolded the maid, "Stop dilly-dallying! Get to the point! How is Miss Su?"
The maid hastily replied, "Miss Su is currently tending to the young man in the back garden. She's attending to his wounds and trying to stop the bleeding…"
Qin Zhenzhen's heart raced. Why did this situation seem so familiar?
Could it be that her presence had caused various events from the original story to occur prematurely, resulting in this scenario happening earlier than expected?
In the original plot, the first encounter between Su Ning and the male lead, Chu Tiansheng, occurred when he was severely injured. Covered in blood, he had climbed over the wall into the backyard of Su Bin's mansion.
Because his injuries were too serious, he fell to the ground with a bang and was discovered by Su Ning.
