Nanxing nodded and said, "This porridge contains a small dose of chronic poison that is not easily detected, but the human body will not automatically metabolize this poison. Over time, it will harm the body.

"By the time symptoms appear, it's already too late to cure!"

Song Mingli frowned, "I have been drinking this bird's nest porridge for many years. I stopped drinking it because I thought it was too expensive and switched to cheaper Tremella fuciformis porridge. I just switched back to it recently."

"That's right. The original prescription used bird's nest as the initiator, which concealed the poison very well. But when Tremella was used instead, the poison could no longer be concealed.

"Especially before the period comes, you can clearly detect something wrong in the pulse! Now, with the change back to bird's nest, the toxicity is gradually hidden again."

As Nanxing spoke, he suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed.

"I was wondering why the pulse keeps changing! I can't have made a wrong diagnosis! So that's it! So that's it!"

Nanxing was so happy that she didn't notice that Zisu's face had turned black.

Shisu slapped her on the back.

"Nanxing! You are so heartless!" Zi Su choked, "The young lady has been... poisoned, and you are still happy here! I even made the sachet for you! I won't make it for you next time!"

Nan Xing felt ashamed when he heard this, and quickly scratched his head and said, "Don't cry, and don't worry, Miss! I can cure this poison! I can cure it!"

Zi Su then sniffed and pinched her secretly, "You scared me to death!"

Nan Xing smiled at her and said, "This poison is just hard to detect, it's not impossible to cure. Blame me for not explaining it clearly."

Nanxing apologized and comforted Zisu.

After a while, the two realized that Song Mingli seemed too quiet.

The two men quickly surrounded her on both sides, "Miss, are you okay? Nanxing said that this poison can be cured."

"Yes, it will be okay! With me, Nanxing, here, I will make sure the young lady's body is well taken care of! She will be able to live to be ninety-nine!" Nanxing also said hurriedly.

Song Mingli narrowed his eyes and said, "You said that the poison has been going on for years. Although the bird's nest was stopped, the poison has not stopped?"

Nanxing nodded carefully, "That's right."

"So, who could it be?" Song Mingli narrowed his eyes.

In her past and present lives, she had always thought it was Su Yi, but now it seemed that someone had already attacked her before Su Yi.

How did she offend the Gu family, causing them to ask for her hand in marriage but then be so unwilling to accept her?

"How many years will this poison remain dormant before it takes effect?" Song Mingli asked.

"If the dosage is not changed, in another ten years, you will suffer from a stroke, paralysis of your limbs, and incurable disease...by then, you won't have much time left." The more Nan Xing spoke, the lower his voice became.

Only then did she realize that her "happiness" just now was really inappropriate. No wonder Zi Su wanted to hit her.

It was still too light.

Song Mingli nodded... Wasn't she paralyzed in bed in her previous life?

It turns out that the root of the disaster had been planted long ago?

"Could it be... the old lady?" Zi Su suddenly lowered her voice and said tremblingly.

Song Mingli and Nanxing both looked at Zisu.

"My servant said it casually, and Miss is also listening casually..." Zi Su swallowed her saliva and said, "Miss didn't have the habit of eating bird's nests originally, but after she married into the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady said that women should take care of themselves as early as possible. The hostesses of famous families all eat bird's nests every day to maintain their bodies.

"At that time, the young lady thought that she was asking you for a gift. You added bird's nest to her and the lady's food every day. Later, the old lady said that since you paid for it but didn't eat it yourself, she felt embarrassed to eat it."

After Zi Su said this, Song Mingli also remembered this matter.

After eating it for so many years, it has become a habit, and she has forgotten the origin of this habit.

"But... Madam Gu? Why did she do this?" Nan Xing asked in a low voice.

Song Mingli snorted and laughed, "No matter why she did it, we only need to try it once to know if it's her."

"How to try?" They both looked at her curiously.

Song Mingli called Zi Su over to whisper in his ear and gave her some instructions.

When Zi Su heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss!"

The next day the kitchen delivered more bird's nests.

Shisu took it and went to the kitchenette.

After a while, Song Mingli brought Zi Su and a food box in his hand and went to Chongming Hall.

Old Madam Gu was holding Gu Jia and playing with her grandchild.

Gu Huai was taken to the study by Gu Qingshan for instruction. Gu Jia stayed with the old lady every day, and the old lady loved Gu Jia more and more.

At first, Gu Jia cried and asked for her mother.

Lately, I only remember to call her "great-grandmother" and have forgotten about looking for my mother.

Hearing from the servants that Song Mingli had arrived, Madam Gu was reluctant to let Gu Jia leave, so she asked her to sit next to her.

Song Mingli entered Chongming Hall and greeted the old lady. She looked up and saw Gu Jia biting her finger and looking at her.

Song Mingli calmly asked Zi Su to bring the food box.

"I tried this porridge at the spring banquet at the Princess's residence a few days ago. It tasted very good."

Song Mingli chuckled and said, "I asked the small kitchen to learn how to make it when I got home, but I couldn't make it. I just found out these two days that it was a private dish of the princess's mansion. The princess was generous and gave the recipe to her granddaughter-in-law. She didn't dare to keep it to herself, so she quickly made it and sent it to grandma, asking her to taste it together."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's face showed both bitterness and happiness.

"You are so lucky to have caught the princess's eye."

"It's all thanks to my grandmother." Song Mingli smiled, personally served a bowl and handed it to the nanny beside the old lady.

Seeing that Gu Jia looked greedy, she served another bowl and asked the maid to give it to Gu Jia.

Old Madam Gu did not stop her. She had never tasted the recipe of the princess's private dish, so she scooped two spoonfuls immediately and nodded.

"Well, it tastes really good! This bird's nest is well made, smoother and more delicious than the one made at home."

Song Mingli smiled slightly, "Excuse me, Grandmother. The recipe given by the Princess Mansion requires that the bird's nest should be simmered for a long time and then cooled before use.

"My granddaughter-in-law was afraid of wasting time, so she directly used the bird's nest that the kitchen sent to her. The time and temperature were just right."

The spoon in Madam Gu's hand suddenly froze.

She held the porridge in her mouth, unable to swallow it or spit it out.

She caught a glimpse of the greedy child Gu Jia, who was eating with big mouthfuls.

Her face darkened, she put the bowl down with a bang, and slapped Gu Jia's bowl over.

"Why should children eat bird's nest? How can your children eat such nutritious food?" the old lady said sternly.

Gu Jia looked at her blankly, and seeing that she looked unhappy, she burst into tears with a "wow".

Madam Gu's heart was broken, but she kept a straight face, "You are so ignorant! Take her away!"

"Grandma! It's just a bowl of porridge, why can't you eat it?" Song Mingli sneered even more in his heart, but his face looked amiable.

She produced a few candies from her palm and handed them to Gu Jia, "Jia Jia, don't be sad, auntie will give you some candies, okay?"

"Don't eat it!" the old lady shouted angrily.

Gu Jia and Song Mingli both looked at the old lady in surprise.

"Grandma, Jiajia is still young, there's no need to be so strict, right?" Song Mingli asked puzzledly.

Gu Jia pouted, her little face full of grievance.

Madam Gu had no way to explain, so she could only grit her teeth and clench her fists, "Children, you must be strictly disciplined from a young age, so that you can have a promising future!

"You see, Huai'er was spoiled, that's why he was so impetuous before. Now that Shan'er is strict with him, he has made great progress!"

Song Mingli looked at Gu Jia sympathetically and said no more.

Gu Jia pursed her lips and followed the maid out of the old lady's presence.

The old lady had just praised the porridge for its delicious taste, but now she refused to touch it at all.

Song Mingli was about to remind her, why not drink a few more sips?

Before she opened her mouth, the old lady spoke first.

"Mingli, there are two things that grandma wants to discuss with you." Madam Gu wiped her mouth and said, "First, I want you to recognize Huai'er and Jiajia.

"You and Shan'er only have one child, Jingyou. Your offspring is still too few. Only when the population is prosperous can the family prosper!"
