Su Binglan did not ask Su Wenwu about the silver—lnstead, she noticed he was not in a good mood. She wanted to ask what was happening and did not want her family to worry.

Su Wenwu lowered his head and said embarrassedly, “One of my friends is burying his sister.”

Su Binglan’s face darkened, and her eyes were cold, “What happened?” Her aura was fierce, and it shocked Su Wenwu. “Bring me along. I want to see what happened.

“My friend’s name is Du Xiaoshuan. His father died when he was a child, so he moved to Stone Village with his mother. He has also been looking for his sister, but his uncle sold her to someone.

“He finally found his sister, but he discovered that the people from the dentist were going to bury her. Xiaoshuan’s sister is seriously ill and is close to death. The dentist staff don’t have the money to treat her, so they decided to deal with her hastily.”

Su Binglan immediately understood that Du Xiaoshuan’s sister was an enslaved person, and she hated it from the bottom of her heart. Still, she was in an ancient era, which was normal then.

Her expression turned cold. After some thought, she said, “Go to my room and get the medicine box.”

Su Wenwu knew his sister wanted to take care of this matter upon hearing her words. He immediately reacted. ‘Yes, my sister knows medicine better than anyone. How could I have forgotten?! Perhaps she could save my close friend’s sister!

“Yes, Sister,” Su Wenwu immediately gathered himself and quickly went to Su Binglan’s room to collect her medicine box. He carried it on his back and followed Su Binglan to the town on horseback.

There was a barren mountain in the south of town. Steward Liu was getting people to dig a hole to bury four people. Meanwhile, another person was kneeling beside him and kowtowing, “I beg you to let my sister go, Steward Liu. Please, let her go!”

Steward Liu said, “Your sister signed a death contract. You must pay me to redeem your sister if you want to save her. Still, I advise you that your sister is severely ill. It’s pointless for you to redeem her, especially because her face looks disfigured.”

Du Xiaoshuan was still kowtowing when Su Binglan and her brother arrived. Su Wenwu hurried over to help Du Xiaoshuan, saying, “Get up quickly. Don’t worry. My sister is here, and she can save your sister.”

Steward Liu’s expression changed when he saw Su Binglan. He knew about some things that had happened in town and that the Su family’s business was becoming increasingly prosperous.

He even heard that Su Binglan had saved the county magistrate’s son, making Su Binglan Old Madam Feng’s benefactor. The county magistrate had instructed the officials to treat Su Binglan with respect.

If any official disrespected Su Binglan, they would no longer be worthy of being a government official. Moreover, the Feng family was an influential force.

The county magistrate’s family was large and connected to the upper echelons. In this line of work, Steward Liu would have to deal with government officials, and he was unequivocal on who he could not offend.

“May I know why you’re here, Miss Su?”

Su Binglan glanced at the unconscious people on the ground and said, death contracts bind these people?”

“That’s correct. May I know what you want, Miss Su?”

Su Binglan got straight to the point and said, “I know you have rules in this line of work, and I won’t break them. I want to buy these people off their contracts.

Name a price.”

Steward Liu was stunned. Although he wanted to make money, these people were bound to die. Still, Steward Liu could not make money if he buried them. He would not have to remind anyone else of this, but he was dealing with Su Binglan, so he had to say something because he did not want to cause trouble.

“These people are bound to die, Miss Su.”

“You don’t have to care about that. You told Du Xiaoshuan that each of these people cost one silver tael, correct?” Su Binglan asked indifferently.

Steward Liu was shocked and could not help but answer, “Y-Yes, that’s how it is.”

Su Binglan took out four silver taels and handed them to Steward Liu. “Here’s four silver taels.”

Steward Liu was quite happy when he saw the silver in his hands. Then he revealed the four peoples’ death contracts.

Su Binglan did things swiftly and decisively. She stamped the contracts in the administrators office and crossed the road. Afterward, the situation no longer had anything to do with Steward Liu.

After leaving, Steward Liu returned to his senses and felt something was wrong. He asked, “Does this mean Miss Su has medical skills? Can she cure these people?”

“Steward Liu, we heard a rumor that Miss Su is from the Legendary Medicine Valley. Even Doctor Wu respects her, and she can even save people who are on their last breaths. If she can save those people, then one silver tael per person is too cheap.”

Steward Liu punched the person who spoke. “What do you know?! You can’t offend someone with such medical skills, let alone someone from the Legendary Medicine Valley!

The person spoke again, “B-But she would still need medicinal herbs if she wants to save them. It’s better to get rid of those people as soon as possible since they’re sick.”

“Miss Su looks young, but she’s not an ordinary person, so don’t underestimate her. You should stop offending those who you can’t afford to offend!”

“Yes, Steward Liu.”

Meanwhile, Su Binglan returned with the death contract, and Du Xiaoshuan knelt to thank her. At least his sister was safe now and would not get buried.

He was only one year older than Su Wenwu. At that time, he cried so hard that even his snot was rolling down his face.

Su Binglan did not say anything—instead removed a silver needle from her medicine box and pricked the four unconscious people on the ground.

She looked at the four people and realized they were suffering from food poisoning. She knew they must have eaten some poisonous food in this area, but it was not difficult to treat them.

The four unconscious people could move again after Su Binglan pricked them a few times with her needles.

Su Binglan said, “You can move, but your bodies are still weak. I will brew some medicine for you, and you will be okay after drinking it for two days.”

Although the four people could not move previously, they were conscious and watched everything with wide-open eyes. They were in despair, but now they could move, they listened to Su Binglan’s words, and their eyes regained vitality.

Three of them supported themselves and knelt before Su Binglan, saying gratefully, “Thank you for saving us, miss! We would be dead if it weren’t for

Su Binglan looked at the trio and asked, “Are you willing to work with me?”

The trio said respectfully, ‘You saved us, miss. So, naturally, we’ll be loyal and work hard for you.”

Although Su Binglan had saved them, they were helpful to her. Du Xiaoshuan knelt and said he wanted to repay her.

Su Binglan looked at his sister, Du Xiaoju, and said, “Do you want to go back with your brother?”

Du Xiaoju looked at Su Binglan and said, “You were the one who saved me, so I want to follow and repay you for saving my life.”

She could tell Su Binglan was a good person. Moreover, Du Xiaoju had a disfigured face. She would undoubtedly work hard if Su Binglan took her in..
