Chapter 215 Ghost Grass
Since her rebirth, Yun Mengting has been driven by a single urge: uncovering the secrets of her cousin, Shen Yuke. As a reborn medical consort with exceptional medical skills, she possesses not only memories of her past life but also a profound understanding of the complexities of the human heart. She is increasingly uneasy about Shen Yuke's behavior, particularly her recent frequent search for rare medicinal herbs.
"We must find the source of her medicinal herbs and see what she is concocting." Yun Mengting said to Ling Xuan and Li Qing beside her, with a determined light in her eyes.
"I can use my connections at the clinic to find out about nearby herbal medicine dealers," Li Qing suggested, a hint of urgency in his tone.
"That's settled then." Ling Xuan nodded, secretly encouraging himself in his heart, "We must act quickly."
A few days later, Li Qing brought Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan to a medicinal herb market. The market was bustling with people, and a dazzling array of medicinal herbs were on display. Li Qing began to inquire about Shen Yuke, while Yun Mengting kept an eye on the surroundings.
"I heard Shen Yuke has been looking for a medicinal herb called 'Ghost Grass' recently," Li Qing whispered. "This herb is very rare and can enhance a person's perception, but if used incorrectly, it may have side effects."
"Ghost Grass?" Yun Mengting was shocked. "What does she want to do with this herb?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling." Li Qing's expression became serious. "We must find out her plan before we can stop her."
Just then, a herbal medicine merchant walked over. Li Qing immediately went up to him and said, "Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone has come to inquire about the ghost grass recently?"
The herbalist frowned, as if thinking. "A woman did ask about it recently, but she didn't buy it. She said she wanted to make a special medicine."
"What does she look like?" Yun Mengting asked anxiously.
"I remember she was wearing simple and elegant clothes, was very beautiful, and had a hint of indifference in her eyes." The herbal medicine merchant replied.
"That's Shen Yuke!" Ling Xuan's heart tightened, "She is indeed looking for the ghost grass."
"We must find her whereabouts," Yun Mengting said firmly. "If she really did mix that drug, the consequences would be disastrous."
"I have an idea," Li Qing said suddenly. "We can pretend to be a herbal medicine dealer and go to her house to test her luck."
"That's a good idea." Ling Xuan nodded in agreement. "We can take this opportunity to get close to her and see what her plan is."
A few days later, Yun Mengting, Ling Xuan, and Li Qing disguised themselves as herbal medicine merchants and arrived at Shen Yuke's residence with some common herbs. They waited at the door, feeling both nervous and excited.
"Cousin, do you need any medicinal herbs?" Yun Mengting pretended to be calm and asked with a smile.
Shen Yuke raised her head, her eyes wandering over them, as if she was surprised by their appearance. She frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Who are you?" Shen Yuke's voice was cold, with a hint of disdain.
"We are a nearby herbal medicine dealer. We heard that you are quite knowledgeable about herbs, so we came here to ask for your advice." Ling Xuan responded with a smile, his tone full of sincerity.
"Oh? What do you want to ask me?" Shen Yuke's expression relaxed a little, and she seemed to be interested in their identities.
"We heard that you've been looking for ghost grass recently and would like to ask for some prescriptions for it." Yun Mengting seized the opportunity, her tone full of concern, "If you're willing, we can provide you with some assistance."
Shen Yuke's gaze lingered on Yun Mengting, as if gauging her sincerity. After some thought, she finally nodded: "Okay, I can listen to your suggestions."
Yun Mengting was excited, knowing this was their chance to get close to Shen Yuke. She began to ask Shen Yuke in detail about her plan, trying to find her weaknesses.
"I've recently developed a strong interest in ghost grass and want to make a medicine." Shen Yuke said softly, with a hint of mystery in her eyes.
"Is there anything special about this medicine?" Yun Mengting asked cautiously.
"It can enhance people's perception and make them more sensitive." Shen Yuke's voice was full of confidence. "But I need to find the right formula."
"If you need help, we can provide some suggestions." Ling Xuan interrupted, thinking to himself.
Shen Yuke smiled slightly, seeming to approve of their proposal: "Okay, I can consider your suggestion."
As their interactions deepened, Yun Mengting began to pay closer attention to the details of Shen Yuke's life. She discovered that Shen Yuke had a secret pharmacy in her mansion, which contained many rare medicinal herbs and prescriptions. In the dead of night, Shen Yuke would always go there alone, seemingly conducting some mysterious experiment.
"I think there might be important clues hidden in her pharmacy." Yun Mengting said to Ling Xuan, with a thoughtful glint in her eyes, "We need to find an opportunity to sneak in and find out."
"I can help you distract her." Ling Xuan responded immediately, with a determined light in his eyes. "As long as you give you enough time, you can find what you want."
"Thank you, Lingxuan." Yun Mengting nodded gratefully. "We must be careful and not let her know of our intentions."
A few days later, Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan devised a plan. Ling Xuan deliberately created some minor troubles in the mansion to attract Shen Yuke's attention, while Yun Mengting took the opportunity to sneak into her pharmacy.
As night fell, Yun Mengting quietly entered Shen Yuke's pharmacy. The room was filled with a faint medicinal aroma, and the walls were covered with various prescriptions. Her heart beat faster, and she looked around, trying to find any useful clues.
At this moment, her eyes fell on a closed wooden box with the words "Ghost Grass" on it. Yun Mengting was shocked and quickly walked forward to open the box.
There were actually several fresh ghost grasses inside, and a detailed prescription next to them. Yun Mengting was secretly relieved and was about to take a closer look when she suddenly heard Shen Yuke's voice coming from outside.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yuke's voice came coldly. Yun Mengting's heart tightened. She quickly closed the box and hid in the corner of the pharmacy.
"I just want to take a look at these medicinal herbs." Ling Xuan's voice sounded, as if explaining.
"You shouldn't come in here casually." Shen Yuke's tone was displeased, "This is my private space."
Yun Mengting held her breath, her heart pounding with anxiety. She knew the consequences would be disastrous if she were discovered. She tried to remain calm and waited for her opportunity.
"I'm just curious." Ling Xuan's voice was innocent. "You know I'm also interested in medicinal herbs."
"Being too curious is not a good thing." Shen Yuke responded coldly, and seemed not to intend to let him go.
At this moment, Yun Mengting saw Shen Yuke turn around and walk to the other side. Her heart tightened and she seized the opportunity to quickly slip out of the pharmacy and hide in the dark.
"Mengting, are you okay?" Ling Xuan asked with concern when he saw her come out.
"I'm fine." Yun Mengting whispered, secretly glad in her heart, "I found the ghost grass and the prescription. We must leave here as soon as possible."
The two of them quickly left Shen Yuke's residence, but they both knew in their hearts that this struggle had just begun.
