Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 29: Crisis Everywhere
Xie Nancheng was clearly targeting her on purpose, but why?
Just because she didn't kiss him honestly last night?
Tu Ran became angrier the more he thought about it, then he put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "It's okay, Mom. I know Nancheng is angry with me because I slept in a separate room from him these past two days. I understand."
Xie Nancheng: ???
"Why do you two sleep in separate rooms?" Mrs. Xie was also stunned.
These two kids have just been married for a few days. They look very sweet during the day, so why are they sleeping separately?
"I have to make medicine for grandma in the next three days."
"In fact, curing diseases and saving lives is also a very sacred process."
"When boiling the medicine, you must be focused and not make any mistakes."
"I thought we'd just sleep separately and in the guest bedroom."
"I didn't expect that he couldn't accept it for three days, but I did this to cure grandma's illness."
After Tu Ran finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Xie immediately glared at their son and started scolding him.
"Can you be a little more promising?" Xie's father was furious.
"Ranran can even consider grandma, can't you be patient for a few days?"
"You're deliberately making things difficult for Ranran. What the hell are you doing, you bastard?"
"Your grandma has loved you the most since you were a child, and Ranran is also treating her illness. Can't you understand?"
Facing his father's soul-searching questioning, Xie Nancheng just smiled with his chin resting on his hand.
Mainly looking at Tu Ran who was sitting opposite him.
"Very good, you are great."
"Grandma, he threatened me." Tu Ran complained immediately.
The old lady of the Xie family was not tolerant and directly reached out to hit her grandson, "Shut up quickly, you little bastard! If you bully your wife again, I will beat you up. It's outrageous."
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Tu Ran gradually became complicated.
OK, I didn’t realize you’re quite capable.
Who said she was a punching bag?
Who said that she was a transparent person during her four years in the Lin family? Come on, find that person out, he wants to beat her up to vent his anger.
"Grandma, how did you sleep last night?"
Tu Ran knew when to stop and changed the subject appropriately.
"That's great. I only coughed twice last night. I usually get up twice at night, but I only got up once last night, and that was just before dawn."
"It's amazing! Ranran, what medicine did you give me?" The old lady slept well last night, and her face was obviously glowing today.
"Grandma, these are all Chinese herbal cough suppressants. I use traditional Chinese medicine, which is rarely used on the market. For example, the herb Pinellia ternata. Because it is toxic, I will use it with caution."
"Pinellia is poisonous." The old lady was shocked when she heard it.
Tu Ran immediately explained, "Raw pinellia is toxic and hard to find in pharmacies. Even if you can buy it, the dosage is limited. I'm using processed pinellia. The toxicity is already very weak, and when combined with other herbs, it won't cause any harm to the body."
"Of course, it's definitely not good for healthy people, but it's very effective for grandma's condition. Pinellia is a very interesting herb. It has invisible thorns on it, which can help cleanse the lungs. Pinellia's main function is to dry dampness and resolve phlegm. For conditions like yours where you have a lot of coughs and phlegm, it's very effective."
Tu Ran spoke slowly and his voice was clear and pleasant.
This tone of voice makes people feel comfortable listening to it, so when she was introducing the herbs, the Xie family listened very carefully. At this moment, she was the focus of the whole family.
"I've really learned a lot. There are so many explanations." The old lady was delighted and looked at Tu Ran with eyes full of love.
"Grandma, I will make you a second dose of medicine today. You will be better after taking it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, that's great. Ranran, you are really our family's lucky star. When grandma gets better, I will take you to Baiyun Temple to fulfill your wish. It's really the Bodhisattva's blessing."
After saying that, the old lady glared at her grandson and asked, "Can you bear it for two more days?"
Xie Nancheng: ...
"Speak, brat."
"Grandma, I can." Xie Nancheng answered obediently, and the old lady was satisfied.
After breakfast, Xie Nancheng prepared to go out to work.
"Of course, are you still going out to buy medicine today?"
"Let's take the car from South City together and let him take you there." Mrs. Xie deliberately tried to bring the two children together.
"No, Mom, he's not going my way." Tu Ran refused directly.
"Come with me."
Mrs. Xie secretly called her son outside and told him what happened to Lin Siyao last night.
"What do you think Lin Siyao is thinking?"
"Haha, the Lin family." Xie Nancheng said with contempt.
"I definitely won't accept the things, but what Lin Siyao said..."
"It's fake, don't listen to it."
"I also don't think it's true. The Lin family doesn't seem like such kind people, but she doesn't seem to give up on you."
"There's absolutely no chance for her and me. She's Peng Yuan's wife now."
"Not to mention that she's already married to Peng Yuan, even if she were still single, I wouldn't want her."
When he returned to his parents' home three days later, Xie Nancheng was very annoyed when he had close contact with Lin Siyao at the Lin family.
This woman really lives up to the saying, all she has is a pretty face but no brains.
Not only is he shameless and servile, but he is also vicious.
After thinking about it carefully, Tu Ran had been in the Lin family for four years and had never made any enemies with her.
But now Lin Siyao is targeting Tu Ran everywhere. Who would dare to marry a woman like this? Only that fool Peng Yuan was framed and had to marry her.
Sometimes Xie Nancheng felt that this car accident was a blessing in disguise.
If it weren't for this car accident, he might have married Lin Siyao...
Xie Huailan soon found out that Aunt Yang had gone to the hospital.
After finding out the whole story, Xie Huailan was furious.
"This little bitch is quite capable."
"How dare you play this trick on me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Second Miss, I was poisoned this time because of you... In that situation, I had to drink it, but the strange thing is that the young lady also drank it, and she was fine." Aunt Yang still felt strange. She and Tu Ran both drank the bowl of medicine, but only she was in trouble. Why?
"Don't worry, I will take care of her."
"You get the injection first. I've already told the doctor that the medical history you're given is of a cold. You absolutely cannot say it's poisoning. Wouldn't that be self-incriminating?"
"I know, Second Miss, but I won't tell."
A shopping mall in Hong Kong
Tu Ran had just finished purchasing the medicinal herbs needed for the next day and was about to leave.
She felt a strange man behind her, and she had a bad feeling so she quickened her pace.
At this moment, she felt that the pace of the person behind her also quickened.
Just as she was standing at the handrail of the stairs, ready to go downstairs...
A pair of big hands behind her suddenly pushed her...
