Chapter 201 The Ginseng

Yunice picked it up and nced at it. “Is this ginseng?”

“Yeah.” Quinton said. “Ginseng helps with energy and vitality. I’ve always had a habit of drinking ginseng tea.

Yunice fished out the ginseng and brought it close to her nose for a sniff.

Quinton looked puzzled. “Something wrong?”

Then he shook his bhead/b, thinking it couldn’t be. “I’m in the pharmaceutical business myself. There’s no way I’d end up with fake medicine.”

“You usually drink ginseng that’s under six years old?” Yunice asked.

“Of course not, Quinton denied. This one’s ba /brare hundredb–/byear–old root. If it weren’t for this recent diagnosis, I wouldn’t have had the heart to use bit/b.”

“But this isn’t even six years old. Yunice bsaid/b. “Immature ginseng is considered hot in nature. Taking it directly like this is bound to cause inmmationb. /b

“So I’m just inmed?”

“Even with cancer, there’s no way it jumps from early stage to advanced in just three days,” Yunice replied

Hearing that, Quinton lit up band /bquickly asked for confirmation. “So what you’re saying is, my condition didn’t suddenly worsen–hese symptoms were all caused by over–supplementation?” Yunice didn’t answer directly. “Do you still bhave /bany of this ginseng left?”

“Yeah, of course!” Quinton immediately pulled a box of ginseng from the medicine cab

Quinton opened the wooden box “Exactly. I couldn’t re–gift something like that after it had already been given It felt like such a waste to just leave it sitting there, so I started brewing it for

Yunice reached out, sappest o tendril, and hewed it before spitting it out.

Then she broke oil another from the opposite side and tasted it again.

Quiton had no idea what she was doing, but Vinice desred with certainty. “This is a high- quality counterfeit

And since all the parts used were under six years old, the overall effect was heating in nature.

If a business partner handed him counterfeit medicine, that partner wouldn’tst long in the industry.

“It might not have been fake from the supplier.” Vunice said.

Quinton caught something in her tone. Sure enough. Yunice continued, “It’s possible someone awapped it out after testing”

“Tonly handed it to the Saunders family no one else touched it after that.” Quinton said.

That statement en little room for doubt

Yunice said nothing

Quinton waved her off. “It’s not that big a deal…”

Yunice’s expression turned cold. “This isn’t about a single root of ginseng. It’s time I fought back.”

Grinning with smug satisfaction, Giana looked like a cat who’d stolen cream. Elsie sat at her vanity, trying on different pieces of jewelry, and replied offhandedly, “Put it there–I’ll take a

look.”

It was her usual routine. Anytime a letter or gift arrived at the house, Giana would always bring it to her first for inspection
