"The old lady thinks so highly of Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng can only be grateful." Xie Liu Zheng helped the old lady to adjust the pillow so that she could lean on it more comfortably. She took the medicine brought by the servant, blew it cool and fed it to her mouth.

?

These were not polite words, but Xie Liuzheng's true feelings.

?

At first, he tried to please the old lady, with the idea of ​​taking advantage of her power, but after getting along with her, he found that the old lady was not actually unpleasant, but a very wise old person. Xie Liuzheng gradually treated the old lady as an elder and respected her.

?

The old lady was in a bad mood. She drank the medicine two sips before she became impatient and said, "I have been drinking it for a few days but there is no benefit. My mouth feels bitter and I can't taste anything. I will leave it there for now and drink it later."

?

Xie Liuzheng did not force the old lady. When she put down the medicine bowl, she felt an inexplicable movement in her heart. She deliberately twisted her hand, causing a few drops of medicine to splash out of the bowl and drip onto the handkerchief she used as a pad. She put the medicine into her sleeve pocket as if nothing had happened, and continued to sit by the bed and talk to the old lady.

?

As they were talking, the maid helped the eldest lady in, and Xie Liuzheng helped to step forward and pay her respects.

?

The eldest lady was in poor health and was slightly out of breath after walking all the way. The old lady helped her to not bow and let her sit down and rest.

?

"My daughter-in-law is really useless. She cannot be filial to my mother, and instead makes my mother worry about her." The eldest lady sat in the chair and panted for a while. Finally, she calmed down and said with a wry smile.

?

The old lady looked at the eldest lady with pity in her eyes, her love was beyond words, "It's rare that you have this kind of heart. If it weren't for..."

?

"Mother, as the old saying goes, life and death are determined by fate. I am unlucky, so I can't blame others." The eldest lady interrupted the old lady and turned to look at Xie Liuzheng. "Good child, when did you come? Have you eaten yet?"

?

Xie Liuzheng knew that she didn't want him to hear some old stories, so he pretended not to hear what the old lady said. He stood up with a smile and replied, "I came after dinner. I just arrived a while ago."

?

The topic was changed, and the old lady looked tired after a few words of idle chat. The first lady and Xie Liuzheng helped her lie down and then came out together.

?

The eldest lady invited Xie Liuzheng to sit in her room, but Xie Liuzheng declined with a smile: "I have been out for quite a while, and if I return late, I am afraid my mother will worry. I will pay my respects to you next time."

?

"Okay, then I won't keep you here. Just come and play when you have time." The eldest lady touched Xie Liuzheng's head and ordered someone to escort her out of the house.

?

Xie Liuzheng got on the carriage and wanted to wipe her sweat with a handkerchief. When she felt the handkerchief was slightly wet, she remembered that it was stained with medicinal soup. She didn't think too much when she did it, but since she did it, she still asked Mr. Pei to take a look. There was no harm in that.

?

With this thought in mind, Xie Liuzheng ordered the driver to change direction and the carriage headed towards Mr. Pei.

?

After exchanging a few words with Mr. Pei, he handed over the handkerchief and asked him to see what disease the medicine on it was for.

?

Mr. Pei raised his eyebrows, but didn't ask anything. He took the handkerchief and put it to his nose to smell it, then dipped some medicine stains with his fingertips and put it in his mouth to taste it.

?

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a medicine for treating emotional depression. The patient should be an elderly person who is angry and feels heavy in the chest, has a poor appetite and suffers from insomnia..."

?

Mr. Pei listed several symptoms in one breath, and Xie Liuzheng felt more and more distressed the more he listened.

?

"Excuse me, sir, is this medicine still effective?"

?

"Of course it's the right medicine for the right condition." Mr. Pei hesitated for a moment. "I haven't taken the patient's pulse, so I can't be sure. But the dosage of Magnolia officinalis in this medicine is a bit heavy. The patient is old and weaker than young people. This dosage of Magnolia officinalis may cause headaches and dizziness in the patient."

?

Xie Liuzheng subconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt, stared at Mr. Pei and asked, "Sir, do you think that the excessive amount of Magnolia officinalis was intentional?"

?

Mr. Pei pondered for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "There is a saying that medicine is three parts poison, so medical professionals must be careful at all times. If there is a slight mistake, good medicine may turn into poison."

?

"The young lady asked me if it was done intentionally. I really can't be sure. Every doctor will add or subtract from the same prescription based on their experience."

?

Xie Liuzheng thanked Mr. Pei and got into the carriage with a heavy heart.

?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is not simple. According to common sense, if the old lady is sick, it is impossible to ask an unfamiliar doctor to treat her. Therefore, the doctor must be very familiar with the old lady's physical condition.

?

The doctor knew the old lady's physical condition and still prescribed such a medicine. If he said it was not intentional, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

?

Of course, the doctor had no grudges against the old lady, so he would not harm her for no reason, unless he was bribed or the medicine was tampered with.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't know who wanted to harm the old lady, but she was very worried that the old lady would be in trouble.

?

Somehow, when she thought of the old lady asking her if she was willing to be the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, Xie Liuzheng's heart was moved for a moment.

?

The status of the Feng family is enough to protect the stability of the Xie family. Feng Yushu doesn't seem to be a very smart person, so there is no need to worry about not being able to control him if she marries him.

?

She had the old lady protecting her, and since Mrs. Feng had saved Mr. Feng's life, it was difficult for her to be rude to her.

?

If she married into the Feng family, Xie Liuzheng was confident that she would be able to thrive there.

?

But everything that happened in her past life made Xie Liuzheng unable to trust any man anymore, at least not yet. Thinking that she would be locked up in the Feng family's backyard for the next few decades, competing with a bunch of women, Xie Liuzheng felt extremely disgusted.

?

I hadn't gotten over my anxiety when I returned home, and I ran into Qin Guangjin as soon as I got off the car, which made me feel even worse.

?

After Qin Guangjin broke up with Wang Gui, he originally planned to go directly to Xie's house to ask Xie Xiangzhu for Liu Zheng's birth date and horoscope, but he met Li Erjie on the way.

?

After not seeing her for a few days, Li Erjie looked much more haggard. She no longer wore any makeup on her face, and her complexion looked pale and sallow, which made her look so pitiful.

?

Second Sister Li also saw Qin Guangjin, biting her lip and staring at him with a look of resentment and joy, tears instantly fell. "Damn it, why don't you come back home? I don't know how much I miss you."

?

Li Erjie ignored the fact that they were on the street and cried timidly, "Even if you are tired of me and don't want to come again, please let me know so that I don't have to worry about you day and night."

?

The ending tone was long, like a hook that hooked Qin Guangjin's heart.

?

Qin Guangjin was so distressed that he quickly pulled her aside to wipe her tears. "When did I ever say I was tired of you? You are such an obedient and considerate girl, how could I bear not to visit you?"

?

"It's just that I have some things to do at home recently and I haven't been able to spare the time. You go back first, and I will come and talk to you later."

?

But Li Erjie grabbed her belt and said, "I haven't seen you for several days. You want to leave without saying a few words. It's obvious that you are tired of me. My lord, you have a cruel heart. Feel how much my heart aches for you."
