Jun Yexuan had just eaten a chicken and drank so much black-bone chicken soup under the supervision of Qiao Qing. When he saw the old woman bringing another bowl of soup, his face immediately turned green.
"Mother-in-law, I can't drink anymore."
When the old woman heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "What a beautiful thought! This is not for you to drink, and you are not worthy of her spending so much time."
As she said that, she walked around Jun Yexuan with the bowl in hand and walked towards Qiao Qing, "Girl, drink this."
None of Jun Yexuan and the others tried to figure out who the "she" she meant was referring to. When they saw her letting Qiao Qing drink something, their expressions suddenly tightened.
"What's this?"
"What did you give her to drink?"
Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan spoke in unison.
The old woman glared at the two of them when she heard this, "Why, are you afraid that I will be bad for her?"
Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen choked when they heard this, but their eyes were clearly full of worry.
"Anyway, this girl knows medical skills. How about letting her try her own way to see if it's poisonous?" The old woman looked at Jun Yexuan with a sullen face and said, "If I want to harm her, will I still save you?"
Jun Yexuan said: "Mother-in-law, you are worrying too much. I have no other intention, but you have to explain clearly what this medicine is for, right?"
The old woman glanced at him after hearing this, "You just ate black-bone chicken, why don't you take advantage of the effect to lure out the poisonous insects?"
Jun Yexuan said "uh".
The old woman pointed at Qiao Qing again, "She has trouble sleeping in her current situation. Do you have the energy to cure you?"
After a pause, she continued: "Don't count on me, old lady. Although I know that black-bone chicken is useful in removing poison, I don't know how to remove poison."
Jun Yexuan frowned when he heard this, "You can't get her painkillers, right? If that's the case, I don't understand. After all, you can find black-bone chickens everywhere. At worst, we'll just stew another one."
"You brat! Have you ever seen painkillers look like this?!" The old woman had a fierce look on her face, as if she was going to come up and beat him up in the next second. "This is the medicine to cure her disease!"
Jun Yexuan was stunned, "What is the root cause of the disease?"
The old woman was very angry when she heard this. Before she could curse, Qiao Qing took the bowl in her hand and drank the medicine.
"Qingqing!"
"Qingqing!"
Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
After Qiao Qing drank the medicine, she looked at the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, thank you, thank her for me too."
"You're a more transparent girl, so why did you find a man who's not very clever?"
Jun Yexuan, who is not very clever: "..."
"Damn it, don't talk about you anymore. She's looking for her, and she's so stupid!" the old woman said again.
Mu Jingheng sneezed inexplicably. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. "Who are you talking about?"
Both Qiao Qing and the old woman ignored him.
After a while, the pale color on Qiao Qing's face faded, and her cheeks began to return to their normal rosiness.
She raised her hand to lift the quilt and was about to get out of bed when Jun Yexuan stopped her, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Qing held Jun Yexuan's hand and said, "I don't feel the pain anymore."
Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Qiao Qing placed the fingers of her right hand on the pulse of her left wrist. After a moment, she looked at the old woman in surprise, "Thank you, mother-in-law!"
"Didn't you just thank me?" the old woman said, "You saved her life and helped her survive her own calamity. Now she should do this for you."
Mu Jingheng scratched his head, "Who are you talking about? You two knew each other before?"
