People generally think Huang Lian (Coptis) is the bitterest herb in Chinese medicine, leading to the popular saying, "A mute tasting Huang Lian—bitterness that cannot be voiced!"
Actually, the bitterest herb in Chinese medicine is Bitter Sophora Root!
Although Aunt Zhou usually can't decipher Beiming Han's thoughts, this time, she clearly knew that the young master was acting out of spite towards Miss Gu.
Gu Qingxin couldn't help but glance at Beiming Han sitting next to her. He simply raised his chin towards her, signaling her to continue drinking.
Gu Qingxin had no choice but to pick up the bowl under Beiming Han's glare, and downed the entire bowl of medicine. The bitter taste filled her entire mouth, eventually reaching her stomach.
By the time she drank all the medicine, tears were streaming down her face. Aunt Zhou quickly handed her a glass of orange juice. Gu Qingxin gulped it down in one go, barely suppressing the bitterness in her mouth.
