Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Upon seeing the three pills in Qin Xiao's hand.

Li Ruoyou and Xu Yiren both widened their beautiful eyes and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Three pills!"

"That's right, exactly three."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, a hint of smugness appearing in his eyes.

The first time he tried alchemy, he was making the extremely difficult-to-make Qingluo Pill.

Not only did it succeed, but it produced three pills at once.

This means that Qin Xiao maximized the effects of all the medicinal herbs, with almost no waste.

This is something not every alchemist can do.

It's because Qin Xiao's skill level is extraordinary, and his Danzhuan seal technique is also exceptional. Few other first-grade alchemists could achieve what Qin Xiao did.

Now.

Li Ruoyou was completely speechless, overjoyed.

Looking at Qin Xiao, her beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude.

Then, Li Ruoyou bowed deeply to Qin Xiao, performing a grand salute:

"Uncle Lin, I will never forget your great kindness."

"It's alright, Patriarch Li, just remember the deal."

Qin Xiao smiled and handed the pill to Li Ruoyou, "Go and save them quickly. I'm afraid Patriarch Li has been waiting impatiently for a long time."

Thank you.

Li Ruoyou carefully accepted the pill, then looked at Qin Xiao with gratitude, her eyes filled with trust.

"By the way, Uncle Lin, you can just call me Ruoyou from now on. Calling me 'Patriarch' is too formal. I've been meaning to say that for a while."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Ruoyou."

Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't act like a timid woman or be polite; he was more than happy to get closer to the young girl.

"Then I'll go save my mother first. Oh, right, Uncle Lin, Yiren, you two come along too."

As she spoke, Li Ruoyou couldn't wait to turn around and go to her mother to save the person.

Qin Xiao and Xu Yiren naturally didn't say anything and followed along.

A short while later.

The three of them then returned to Madam Li's boudoir.

However, in Madam Li's boudoir, only Madam Li remained unconscious on the bed; there was no one else there.

Where is Yu'er?

Li Ruoyou immediately frowned.

After Yu'er served tea, she excused herself to take care of the lady and left.

But now, my mother is alone, seriously ill and in a coma, with no one to take care of her.

Even the most magnanimous Li Ruoyou became somewhat angry upon seeing this situation.

"I've already said it, no matter how well you treat your servants, they may not remember your kindness, and are more likely to become greedy and insatiable," Xu Yiren said calmly.

She always felt that her friend was a terrible head of the family, unable to even manage a servant, and that she was no better than a family head. She thought she should just get married sooner.

"I'll have a serious talk with Yu'er later." Li Ruoyou finally realized that she had indeed made some mistakes and decided to teach Yu'er a lesson so that she would be more serious in the future.

However, she no longer cared about Yu'er's affairs.

He quickly went to Madam Li's side.

He helped his unconscious mother up from the bed.

Xu Yiren then took the initiative to bring tea.

The two men fed Madam Li pills while simultaneously pouring her tea.

After a long period of frantic activity—

"Cough cough cough—"

Suddenly, Madam Li, who had been in a deep sleep, coughed and opened her extremely tired eyes.

"Mother, you're finally awake!"

Upon seeing Madam Li, she finally opened her eyes.

In an instant, Li Ruoyou's beautiful eyes turned red, tears welled up, and she shouted excitedly.

"Ruoyou..."

Madam Li had been unconscious for an unknown period of time. When she woke up, her mind was blank, and she had no idea what had happened.

He heard his daughter crying.

Madam Li then came to her senses.

But the next moment, her expression changed drastically, and she angrily said:

"Ruoyou, go and kill that bitch Yu'er! She colluded with Luo Chen to poison me!"

Nobody expected it.

Madam Li has just woken up.

The first sentence was like a bolt from the blue.

In an instant, Li Ruoyou was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Xu Yiren and Qin Xiao were both stunned for a moment.

No one expected that the maid who had loyally stayed by Li Ruoyou's side when she was in trouble was actually the traitor who murdered Li Ruoyou's mother.

"Mother...Mother...What are you saying!"

For a moment, Li Ruoyou even found it hard to believe.

After all, these days, the only two people she could trust were Xu Yiren and Yu'er.

It turns out that the person next to him was a traitor?

How could she accept this?

"How could a mother lie to you!"

Madam Li glared at Li Ruoyou through gritted teeth, "Do you remember what excuse that bastard Luo Chen used to forcibly seize my family's medicinal herb field?"

Li Ruoyou answered subconsciously:

"It was because the medicinal herbs my family provided to him were of inferior quality, which caused his alchemy to fail. So Luo Chen used this as a reason to ask my family to use the medicinal herb field as compensation to him."

If the City Lord's Mansion wants to suppress a powerful family, it can't do so without a reason. Otherwise, other powerful families will feel insecure and oppose the City Lord's Mansion together.

The city lord's reason was that the Li family were unscrupulous merchants who supplied the city lord's mansion with inferior medicinal materials, and then they had a legitimate reason to attack the Li family.

This is also one of the biggest reasons why the Li family could not resist.

"good."

As Madam Li finished speaking, her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"But I discovered at the time that there was nothing wrong with the herbs at all. It was that bitch Yu'er who deliberately colluded with Luo Chen to switch the herbs in our house!"

"I discovered the evidence and was preparing to confront Yu'er when I realized she had already poisoned my food, rendering me unable to resist. She even went so far as to tell me that she had been having an affair with Luo Chen, intending to use the Li family as her dowry, and even wanted to become that bastard Luo Chen's concubine along with you!"

When Madam Li got to this point.

Li Ruoyou's delicate and pretty face turned deathly pale instantly.

No matter how much I didn't believe it, when my mother told me the whole story...

Li Ruoyou finally realized that Yu'er, whom she had always thought was like a sister, was actually the culprit who betrayed her.

For a moment, Li Ruoyou's beautiful eyes were filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, he spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Yu'er, I treated you like a sister, why are you treating me like this?"

Hearing the whole story, even Qin Xiao and Xu Yiren were utterly shocked.

It turns out that Yu'er really was a vicious woman.

Qin Xiao was alright, since he had only recently met the Li family and didn't know much about their situation.

Xu Yiren's eyes revealed a hint of "I knew it."

She had long sensed that something was wrong with Yu'er, so she repeatedly reminded Li Ruoyou.

In retrospect, my warning was indeed correct.

However, she never expected that Li Ruoyou would treat Yu'er, a mere maid, so well, yet Yu'er could be so vicious.

At that very moment—

"Sister Ruoyou, of course Yu'er wants to be Master Luo Chen's sister with you."

A delicate, familiar yet unfamiliar female voice came from outside.

The reason it is familiar.

It's because that voice is Yu'er's voice.

It is unfamiliar.

That was the tone, yet it didn't sound like Yu'er, the maid; rather, it sounded more like the tone of the master of the Li family.

A sound came from inside.

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

"You bitch, how dare you come back—"

Madam Li instinctively looked angrily toward the door.

But the next moment.

Her expression froze, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes:

"Luo...Luo Chen!"
