Chapter 915: Chapter 918: It was you who killed him
The next day, those who had taken the medicine were already improving, and many people went to the Tan Family to express their gratitude.
If it weren’t for the Tan Family’s medicine, their loved ones might already have gone to another world.
"Duo’er, you are the great benefactor of my whole family. If my head of household were gone, the remaining widows and orphans would have no future."
"My boy’s life was saved by you. From now on, whatever you ask, I will not refuse."
"I feel the same, I’d do anything!"
Qiao Duo’er signaled for everyone to quiet down: "Finding the medicine is only the first step. Next, we need to work together to try and drive the epidemic away as soon as possible."
Now that the cure had been found, it was the best opportunity to unite the people’s hearts.
As long as the villagers’ morale was stable, even if Xuan San really was lurking in the shadows, he wouldn’t be able to play any tricks.
Thinking of Xuan San, Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
If it wasn’t for the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, Qin Longyun would have definitely been able to pry open Hu Banxian’s mouth, and Xuan San might have been exposed.
Did that mean all his misdeeds wouldn’t come with deadly consequences?
If that were the case, then the heavens were truly blind.
Granny Su vigilantly stood beside Qiao Duo’er, fearing that someone might accidentally bump into their Madam.
Fortunately, everyone was rational and didn’t dare get too close to Duo’er.
They spent all day with the sick and nobody dared guarantee that they weren’t infected themselves.
If they accidentally transmitted the disease to the Tan Family, wouldn’t that be biting the hand that feeds them?
The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly disrupted due to the appearance of an electrifying woman.
That was Zheng Shi, who had lost her hair due to a calamity not long ago and now could only cover her bald head.
"Qiao Duo’er, did you deliberately wait for my Tian’er to die before you took out the medicine?"
Zheng Shi glared angrily at Qiao Duo’er.
Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Ketian passed away, and the Xiao Family had been busy with the child’s funeral arrangements all afternoon.
Only now did she think of Qiao Duo’er’s malicious intentions, so she came.
"I know you hate the Xiao Family, but what did my grandson ever do to provoke you? Why wouldn’t you spare even such a small child?"
Xiao Ketian was the eldest grandson of the Xiao Family, the son of Xiao Lingshan and Wei Shi.
He was sharp-witted and robust, very adorable, and, in Zheng Shi’s heart, ranked just behind Xiao Biyu.
Because Qiao Duo had caused Xiao Biyu to be thrown into prison and orchestrated Xiao Ketian’s death, even tearing Qiao Duo into pieces wouldn’t quench her deep resentment.
Yet now Qiao Duo was still receiving so much gratitude from these people. Why?
Qiao Duo let out a silent sigh. It seemed that the lesson she had last taught the Xiao Family wasn’t enough.
"Not everyone has as filthy thoughts as you do. Once I knew the medicine was effective, I immediately had it distributed. You can say whatever else you want," said Qiao Duo.
Qiao Duo simply offered that explanation.
Even if she had known beforehand that someone in the Xiao Family had caught the epidemic, she couldn’t do such a thing.
It wasn’t about saving the Xiao Family, but rather the fear that they might infect others.
Zheng Shi said disdainfully, "You make it sound so nice. But do you think I don’t know what you’re really thinking? You just can’t stand the Xiao Family and want all of them dead!"
"The antidote was only found yesterday. Almond has been ill for five days and is still lying in bed. If you don’t trust us, you are welcome to see for yourself the extent of Almond’s recovery," said Granny Su, pointing to the room where Almond was staying. This woman was truly irrational!
"Duo’er would never intentionally harm anyone, don’t slander her."
"If you’re not well yet, just stay at home honestly, and don’t come out to scare people."
