Chapter 507: Take Less Drugs or You'll Be in Trouble
Madam Li nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and Madam Li quickly hid the pills.
It turned out that Li Fu had walked in. Seeing that the two looked a little strange, he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Madam Li quickly replied, "It's nothing, just chatting with Madam Fang about everyday matters."
Li Fu glanced at them suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions.
Fang Xiaoxiao made an excuse and left.
That evening, Madam Li eagerly made Li Fu take the pills.
Before long, the effects became apparent; Li Fu was full of energy, which greatly pleased Madam Li.
However, what they didn't know was that while the pill was remarkably effective, it had hidden side effects.
Inside the Fang family's courtyard, Li Wan'er curiously examined the small blue pill, not understanding what magic it possessed that made Madam Li need it every week.
Hongxiu sat to the side brewing tea, her skills were superb, befitting one of the former most beautiful courtesans of the Imperial Music Bureau.
Fang Xiaoxiao propped her head up and laughed from time to time, prompting the two girls to ask her why.
Li Wan'er held the pill up to Fang Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister Fang, please stop laughing and tell me what this magical thing is."
Fang Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and said, "Wan'er, you don't understand, do you? This is a treasure that can make couples more harmonious."
Li Wan'er wrinkled her nose: "Hmph, I don't believe it. How can such a small pill have such a big effect?"
Hongxiu also came over and said with a smile, "Miss, stop keeping us in suspense and explain to the princess."
Fang Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "These pills can enhance a man's energy and make married life more fulfilling."
Li Wan'er blushed: "Oh dear, Sister Fang, aren't you ashamed to say such things?"
Fang Xiaoxiao laughed heartily: "Wan'er, you'll understand the benefits when you get married in the future."
Li Wan'er said coquettishly, "I'm ignoring you."
Seeing that she was shy, Fang Xiaoxiao stopped teasing her and instead said, "But this thing can't be overused; too much of it is not good."
Hongxiu nodded and said, "Yes, everything should be done in moderation."
Hongxiu had previously heard about the pros and cons of the pill from Fang Xiaoxiao. One pill could make a man erect, but it could also make him lose his erection, and taking too much could even cause him to explode and die. It was both a good medicine and a poison.
Fang Xiaoxiao pouted, thinking that the capital city had been relatively peaceful during this period, and Li Fu's Five Stone Powder had suffered heavy losses. It was impossible for it to harm the people again for the time being. Therefore, she decided to launch the blue pill to benefit all people and contribute to the Great Yu Dynasty.
Upon hearing Fang Xiaoxiao's idea, Li Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Fang, can this pill be released so easily? What if it falls into the wrong hands and is used by someone with ill intentions?"
Fang Xiaoxiao said confidently, "Wan'er, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Before this pill is launched, I will formulate strict rules for its use and sales conditions to ensure that it can truly benefit the people and not be abused."
Hongxiu also said with concern, "Miss, this matter needs to be considered carefully, as it has a significant impact."
Fang Xiaoxiao's gaze was firm: "My mind is made up. As long as we act cautiously, we will surely be able to make this blue pill play its due role."
Just then, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
Hongxiu went to open the door and saw a strange man standing there, looking flustered.
Upon seeing Fang Xiaoxiao, the man hurriedly said, "Miss Fang, something terrible has happened! Li Fu..."
The man was a servant of Li Fu's household; Fang Xiaoxiao and the others had seen him before.
Upon hearing the man's description, Fang Xiaoxiao knew that Li Fu must have taken too many drugs. Logically, she didn't need to care, but she had no choice but to treat him, since if he really died, the group behind Li Fu would all get away with it.
Fang Xiaoxiao frowned and said to the servant, "Lead the way!"
The group hurried to the Li residence.
When they arrived at Li Fu's room, they found him lying unconscious on the bed, his face pale.
Madam Li wept anxiously, "What should we do?!"
Fang Xiaoxiao stepped forward, took Li Fu's pulse, and her expression grew increasingly grave.
Li Wan'er asked, "Sister Fang, how is it?"
Fang Xiaoxiao sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. He overdosed on the medication, which damaged his health."
Upon hearing this, Madam Li cried even more bitterly: "It's all my fault, I'm the one who ruined Master's life."
Fang Xiaoxiao comforted her, "Madam, don't blame yourself. The most important thing now is to find a way to save him."
As she spoke, Fang Xiaoxiao took out several herbs from her medicine box and instructed her servants to quickly brew them.
After some commotion, Li Fu finally woke up slowly.
He looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Madam Fang, thank you for saving my life."
Fang Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Master Li, this medicine is good, but you can't be greedy for too much."
Fang Xiaoxiao said this, but she was already overjoyed inside. If there weren't so many people around, she would have laughed her head off. Especially seeing Madam Li crying as if her husband had died, it was simply too much to bear. Fortunately, at this moment, Steward Li Fu brought out five hundred-tael silver notes and handed them to her, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to hold it in.
Fang Xiaoxiao calmly accepted the silver note, put it in her pocket, and kept a serious expression on her face: "Steward Li, take good care of your master and make sure he doesn't run wild again."
Steward Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, Madam Fang."
Fang Xiaoxiao led everyone out of the Li residence, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Li Wan'er asked, puzzled, "Sister Fang, why are you laughing so happily?"
Fang Xiaoxiao laughed as she said, "Wan'er, you didn't see Madam Li's expression. It was hilarious."
Hongxiu laughed along, "Miss, aren't you afraid of Li Fu's revenge in the future?"
Fang Xiaoxiao stopped laughing and said confidently, "Whatever he can retaliate against, he can retaliate against me. His wife fed him the medicine, and he did the thing himself. I'm just a drug dealer."
Back in the courtyard, Fang Xiaoxiao was in a great mood and was already thinking about how to use the money to do something more meaningful.
Fang Xiaoxiao held the thousand taels of silver notes she had received from Li Fu over the past two days and admired them under the sun.
She was secretly pleased, thinking that Li Fu would be bedridden for at least ten days to half a month.
His wife is probably going to suffer a lot. She's just started to enjoy the experience and hasn't even had a chance to experience more of the pleasures of being a woman, and her husband is already impotent. No matter how chaste and virtuous a woman is, she'll probably start thinking about having an affair.
Early the next morning, Fang Xiaoxiao took the two women out to look at shops in the most bustling central area of the long street.
She originally had a shop here to open Lingxi Pavilion, but unfortunately, due to the involvement of Li Wan'er's two cousins, the shop was divided between the two of them to run a pastry shop.
