She looked at the sharp-tongued girl in front of her. His white forefinger lightly pressed against her chattering lips.
Qiao Liangjin never thought that Su Qingqing would use such a method to shut him up. Her almond eyes kept blinking as she looked at Su Qingqing's black agate eyes. Somehow, she bit off a bit of Su Qingqing's finger.
His hearty laughter grew louder and louder as he laughed. He pulled Qiao Liangjin into his arms again and stopped laughing. He smelled her fragrance and said in a low voice, "Take care of yourself while I'm gone. Don't let anyone hurt you."
Without waiting for Qiao Liangjin to reply, she suddenly let go of her and turned around to leave the room, leaving her staring blankly at that person's disappearing figure. If it wasn't for the fact that the temperature was still hot, she would have thought that she had dreamt early in the morning and even extended her hand, wanting to touch that distant figure.
Suddenly realizing that her actions were laughable, she quickly retracted her hand and stabilized her state of mind.
The door was wide open, and a few female servants were peeping in from the outside. When they found that Su Qing was no longer there, they entered the room smiling, as if they knew that all of us did not need to say anything.
Qiao Liangjin looked at the mysterious smiles of the maids and shook his head. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Hurry up and serve Master food. I'm starving."
She knew very well that she did not belong to this generation. If she were to really fall in love with someone, how would she tell that person about her departure in the future, and how they would separate? Would she still be the same after they parted ways?
After eating a few tasteless mouthfuls of congee, Qiao Liangjin put down his spoon. Pushing the bowl away, he patted his knees and said to Yu Sheng, "Come, let's chat for a while."
He raised his pair of fox-like eyes and looked at the somber Qiao Liangjin. He tilted his head and was somewhat puzzled. The once peerless master who was even inferior to the thick-skinned city wall appeared to be somewhat sad today?
Qiao Liangjin's hand gently caressed Yu Sheng's back, and his eyes dimmed as he said, "Actually, the blood contract between us is also due to the accident of my coming to this world. Say, if a strange guest like me who descended from the sky really leaves, would many people be sad?"
Yu Sheng's eyes dimmed slightly. He obediently stuck out his tongue and gently licked the back of Qiao Liangjin's hand, as though he was comforting her.
Qiao Liangjin suddenly sniffed and laughed. "This is really strange. Is it because my aunt is coming? Recently, I have been feeling very sad."
At this moment, Yu Sheng, who was usually nowhere to be seen, was quietly lying on Qiao Lianjin's knee. Perhaps it was because of the blood contract, he could feel Qiao Liangjin's slight loss, but he did not understand if this matter had something to do with Su Chen going to help the Southern Kingdom fight.
One man and one fox, they quietly stayed in the warm room until Qiao Xinting's voice came from outside. Only then did Qiao Liangjin let go of Yuesheng and go to open the door. Qiao Xinting, whose face had turned red from the cold, stood there anxiously.
Qiao Liangjin didn't even bother to ask when he saw the situation. He turned around and walked into the house. He put on his cloak and went out the door, pulling Qiao Xinting along with him.
Qiao Xinting held Qiao Lianjin's hand and said anxiously, "Mother was fine last night, but after taking the medicine this morning, she was lying on the bed and couldn't get up."
Qiao Liangjin squeezed Qiao Xinting's ice-cold hand, signaling her not to be too worried and said: "It's okay, I'll go take a look. Is Qing going to find a doctor?"
Qiao Xinting nodded and pulled Qiao Lianjin along. However, she felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't know why, but she felt that this big sister in front of her was trustworthy.
He had just walked through the long corridor of the courtyard when he met Qiao Zheng who was walking hurriedly towards the Calm Heart Garden. Qiao Liangjin pulled Qiao Xinting along and quickly followed. He called out to Qiao Zheng, "Father."
Qiao Zheng turned his head and saw Qiao Liangjin and Qiao Xinting. He asked, "How is Cai Ting?"
Qiao Liangjin was slightly surprised that Qiao Zheng was actually concerned about Guo Caiting. Qiao Zheng continued to walk towards Ning Xin Garden and said: "Qin Se sent someone to tell me that she is currently in Ning Xin Garden. Xin Ting, where is your servant girl?" "Where did you go?"
Qiao Xinting's nose twitched as she replied, "Qing went to invite the doctor. My mother did not know what happened. She was much better last night, but she was suddenly unable to get up this morning …"
With that, they arrived at Tranquil Heart Garden. Outside the door stood Qin Se's servant girl. She looked anxious as she stomped her feet and said, "Master, you're really here. "Third Madam, how long has it been since you've taken on the role of housekeeper? How come …" As he said this, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Qiao Liangjin looked coldly at the servant girl in front of him. She wanted to continue acting, but it was not like she was crying. Instead, she wanted to continue acting! He didn't even shed a tear. He gave a bad rating and got a negative score.
Luo Tian's gaze met Qiao Liangjin's cold gaze and he hurriedly withdrew. He pushed open the door and said: "Master, Miss, you two quickly go in."
Qiao Zheng crossed the room with his hands behind his back and heard Qin Se calling out to Guo Caiting from beside the bed.
Qiao Liangjin's impression of Qin Se was limited to the memory of that day. Other than that, he had no memory of anything else. Today, seeing her look like a little white flower, she smiled internally. It really was another green tea bitch. Qiao Yin really did resemble her.
When Qin Se saw Qiao Zheng and Qiao Liangjin enter, she stood up with the intention of getting lucky, but was stopped by Qiao Zheng and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Se was startled and quickly replied, "My sister was the housekeeper these days and gave us a lot of benefits, so I felt my body was a bit better today, so I came over to thank you. I didn't expect …"
Listening to Qin Se's words, Qiao Liangjin sat on the bedside and pressed the back of his hand against Guo Caiting's forehead. She didn't feel feverish at all. She carefully examined her face, only feeling that the dark circles around her eyes were much heavier than usual.
Qiao Liangjin did a motion as if he wanted to wake Guo Caiting up, and placed a hand on her pulse. In just a moment, she wrinkled her brows. This poison was coming at her aggressively, it was different from the poison that Guo Caiting had taken earlier.
She let go of her hand and stood up, using her fat body to block everyone, while her finger agilely brushed across several of Guo Caiting's important acupuncture points. She then turned around and asked, "Who has heard of the Gut Cutting poison?"
When the people in the room heard Qiao Liangjin's question, they were all startled and shook their heads.
Qiao Liangjin sighed and looked towards Zi Yan. Zi Yan walked over, and Qiao Liangjin whispered a few words into her ear. Zi Yan nodded and left the room.
Qin Se frowned. This vulgar, fat girl who only knew how to pester men every day, what could she possibly understand? She walked up and pulled Qiao Liangjin away from Guo Caiting's bedside, "Jin'er, aunty knows that you're anxious, but it's useless here …"
"Second Aunt, you seem very happy." Qiao Liangjin pursed his lips into a smile and suddenly said.
The Qin Se, who originally wanted to pull Qiao Liangjin away from Guo Caiting, paused for a moment. She raised her teary eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin with an expression of disbelief.
Qiao Zheng heard Qiao Liangjin's words and looked suspiciously at the teary Qin Se. Ever since Qiao Liangjin left to find his brother and returned safely, he had trusted his daughter far more than anyone else. He believed that Qiao Liangjin would not say these words for no reason.
Qiao Zheng did not pity Qin Se's tears but instead heard him say, "Qin Se, you are not well to begin with. Cai Ting is sick so don't infect you. Put her down and help her rest."
She, who had always been like a delicate flower, did not say much. She did not even glance at the people in the room, and just let Luo Tian help her out of Tranquil Heart Garden.
Luo Tian supported Qinse out of the courtyard. He turned around to look at the gate of the Tranquil Heart Garden and sneered, "Your tears don't seem to be as easy to use as they were in the past, my wife."
Qin Se didn't seem to hear the ridicule from Falling Sky. She shook off his arm, tightened the cloak around her, and walked straight to the Sine Pavilion.
Qiao Zheng saw that there were no longer any outsiders in the room, so he went forward to carefully examine Guo Caiting who was lying on the bed. He softly asked: "Jin'er, what happened to Cai Ting?"
"The Aconitine's poison is the most troublesome." Qiao Liangjin replied in an extremely simple manner.
Not long later, Purple Smoke came in with a bag of items and placed it on the table. Qiao Liangjin opened the bag and Qiao Zheng followed suit to take a look. It was only then did he realize that the bag was filled with scraps.
"What is this?"
"This is the herb Third Aunt took today." Qiao Liangjin answered and picked up a few of the herbs that couldn't be seen and laughed.
"It really is the Intestine Breaking Grass. Someone had tampered with the third concubine's herbs." Purple smoke, such as blue, urge to vomit. Prepare the green bean soup. " Qiao Liangjin threw the herbs in his hand back into his medicine bag, then turned around and commanded his servant girl to begin detoxifying Guo Caiting.
Qiao Zheng quietly hid to the side and watched Qiao Liangjin seriously instructing the maids to cure Guo Caiting's poison. For some reason, he felt empty in his heart, it was as if he had missed out on the growth of his daughter. In the blink of an eye, his daughter had become sensible and was able to support the entire Prime Minister Manor.
His eyes felt slightly hot as he thought of Qiao Liangjin's mother. His heart was somewhat comforted. If he were to leave one day, he would have the face to go see her mother.
After Guo Caiting's breathing calmed down a little, Qiao Liangjin settled Guo Caiting down. He patted her on the shoulder and asked, "It's alright."
Qiao Xinting pursed her lips and slightly nodded. She quietly sat down beside Guo Caiting, her two small hands tightly holding Guo Caiting's bony fingers.
When the doctor arrived, Qiao Xinting moved out of the way. After the doctor checked her pulse, he said with some surprise, "Madam has been poisoned, but it has already been cured. Fortunately, it was cured early. If I were to come, I'm afraid I would not be able to reverse the situation."
Qiao Zheng raised his head to look at Qiao Liangjin who was standing at the side and felt an inexplicable sense of pride. He thought that his children would become trash but did not expect Qiao Liangjin to be able to secretly learn this medical skill.
Qiao Liangjin felt Qiao Zheng's gaze on her and turned to Qiao Zheng with a faint smile. She did not intend to explain to Qiao Zheng all of her actions. The more she explained, the more confused she became.
The doctor wrote down the prescription and handed it over to Qiao Lianjin. Qiao Liangjin examined it carefully before handing it over to Ruo Lan and warned her in front of Qiao Zheng: "These few days, you will stay behind to take care of Third Madame. Do not let anything pass through anyone's hands."
If Lan Lan kept the prescription, she nodded and sent the doctor out.
Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting beside Qiao Xinting, stared at her panicked eyes and asked: "Xinting, do you regret coming back?"
Qiao Xinting let out a cry of "ah" and looked at Qiao Liangjin with fear. His hands tightly gripped the corner of his robe as he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to respond.
