Next day morning.

Xia Lian returned back to her room after her morning workout routine. Sadly, not even a drop of sweat could be seen on her face or body. Since Bao Su was out on a mission, she took the little bunny along with her.

She made him stop his running spree barely after an hour. In her opinion, it's more than enough for a three year old kid ah! She was truly not able to see her little bunny work hard. But, the little one insisted that he would not stop running as long as she practiced. So, she had no choice but to return early to her room.

In the midst of her thoughts, Xia Lian remembered that the auction is going to be held the next day. Holy molly! She had not prepared the things required for the grand welcome next day.

Hehe… Xia Lian smiled maliciously at the thought of the prince. Should she use poison on him? Nah! That would be truly heartless. He did not anger to the extent that she would use poison on him. But, he needs to be taught a lesson. A very good lesson at that! And then she would see if he would dare flirt with her in the future.

She started imagining various ways to deal with the perverted prince, but she found them to be either too lenient or too vicious. Finally, she sprang up from the chair in excitement. Finally her genius brain had an idea which would let her vent up all her inner steam. She could almost imagine his pitiful state and guffawed loudly.

Her laugh was so loud that it resounded in the entire vicinity of the hospital. Many innocent citizens were terrified after hearing that eerie laughter. Even those who are familiar with Xia Lian felt a bit weird. But, some remained calm as if they were used to these scenarios.

Bohai: ” Doctor Wu must have concocted a new poison. That must be the reason why he is laughing like that.”

Bolin: ” Nope, I bet that he imagined the effects of the poison. The aftermath must have been so sinister that he could not help but laugh like an eccentric. Geniuses are always like that.”

He Chun was flabbergasted after listening to their analysis. What exactly is the image of Doctor Wu in their eyes? He stared at them for a moment before locking his eyes on the fat book before him.

In a certain room,

Fan Ling: ” Young master, let me go and check on master.”

Xia Ming: ” Brother Fan, big brother is just playing around. Don't worry about him. We need not worry about that laugh, he must have been too happy with those stupid plants of his.” The little one let out all his thoughts in a single breath making Fan Ling laugh out loud. This young master is pouting ah! But, master must have been busy preparing for the auction tomorrow. She could not interrupt Xia Lian's work without a proper reason.

So, she coaxed him ” Young master, your brother is preparing for the auction tomorrow. It is important for him and tomorrow your brother will be taking you out.”

Xia Ming did not understand what an auction is, but he caught on with the main point. His sister was going to take him out! He was excited.

The person who was the center of their discussion was immersed in her own world of herbs, completely oblivious of the commotion she caused. Her eyes shone brightly as if the whole treasures in the world were hidden in them. Her profile was bathed in the warm light of the morning sun making her look ingenious.

The herbs on the table swayed along with the morning breeze carrying the whiff of the medicinal fragrance with it. It was not the usual stench of medicine, but it was a light aroma which calmed one's nerves instantly.

After fiddling with the herbs for a long time, she raised a translucent bottle which was filled with a crystalline blue liquid. She smelled it and nodded her head in satisfaction before placing it on the table. She then raised another bottle which had a liquid which is in a deep shade of black.

She then proceeded to her next project i.e; making a certain powder and an ointment.
