The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife Chapter 826 - Evening Feast XV

Chapter 826: Evening Feast XV

Startled, Qian Kun looked at Feng Ruqing in disbelief.

‘This young lady is the one who has summoned me so urgently?’

Feng Ruqing did not say a word. She squatted down and picked up a broken piece of spirit herb before everyone’s eyes.

The ginseng fruit seemed like gla.s.s and was extremely fragile as if one could easily break it if he did not handle it with care.

Feng Ruqing picked up a small piece of the translucent pulp. As the pulp was on the inside of the ginseng fruit, the violet traces were more obvious than they were on the outside. Even if they were just faint traces, people with good eyesight could easily spot it.

“Can you tell us what spirit herb is this?” Feng Ruqing asked with a faint smile on her face.

“This… isn’t this Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit? Who brought this here? This is a highly toxic spirit herb. If one eats it, there is no cure for this poison!” Qian Kun’s eyes widened.

The Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit grew from the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit. The duration for this plant producing Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit was extremely random—regardless of seasons, day or night. In other words, the plant bloomed as it wished and the fruit only lasts for a day.

The fruit harvested on the day it was produced was named Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit. It had amazing beautifying benefits. One could get rid of the pockmarked face if he continuously took it for a week.

However, after the day it was produced, violet leaves would grow and the fruit would turn into a highly toxic fruit–Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit, just like potatoes—sprouted potatoes are poisonous. Hence, Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit was extremely rare in this realm.

Gu Shi’s face darkened a few shades. His heart pounded rapidly as anger overtook his senses.

If not for Feng Ruqing, Gu Yiyi would have eaten the Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit. Also, if Gu Shi had thrown Feng Ruqing out of the chief manor just now, no one could have stopped Gu Yiyi from eating the poisonous fruit. Fortunately, Gu Yiyi was still alive!

“Manor Master,” Qian Kun was still murmuring.

“Who has brought this Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit here? This person is so vicious. He has even pluck the leaves off so it looked exactly like the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit. One could hardly see that there is something wrong with this ginseng fruit from the outside. However, once the fruit is peeled, we can see it from the pulp.”

“Luo Fei!” Gu Shi gritted his teeth, a gust of mighty wind emanated out of him.

‘d.a.m.n! Luo Fei!’

It was Luo Fei and Qin Xiaoyu who had nearly killed Gu Shi’s dearest daughter. Gu Shi would never let them off easily, regardless of whether Luo Fei had accidentally bought the fake spirit herb or if he had truly wanted to kill Gu Yiyi.

“Pfft! I though the Luo family has really found the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit. It turns out that Luo Fei is such a fool and has bought a Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit instead.”

“Even if the Violet Leaf Ginseng Fruit is a Grade-6 spirit herb, it is not hard to get as it would only wither after a few months.”

“Luo Fei is so smart but has ended up being cheated. He has truly offended the manor master this time.”

Standing rooted to the spot, tears broke free from Luo Li’s eyes after hearing the crowd’s chatter.

“Is Qin Xiaoyue the one who had bought the fake ginseng fruit? You won’t make this kind of mistake.” Luo Li had a dry feeling in her throat.

If Luo Fei was the one who had bought it, he must be able to tell there was something wrong with the ginseng fruit.
