Chapter 129 The story is getting more interesting

Ye Jingchi answered seriously, but it was not the answer Li Ying wanted. She wanted to hear him talk about the poison in his body. He concealed the poison in his body just because he didn't want to make her sad, but why didn't he believe that she could cure him?

Li Ying pulled her hand back: "Forget it."

Ye Jingchi observed Li Ying's attitude and saw that she was frowning. He raised his hand and gently pressed the center of Li Ying's eyebrows.

"From now on, don't frown and don't be unhappy."

Li Ying pulled Ye Jingchi's hand down and said, "Have you noticed that the old lady of the Chi family looked at you with a knife in her eyes? She seemed to know you."

"Really? How come I didn't notice it?" Ye Jingchi poured a glass of water and drank it gently.

Li Ying rubbed her forehead. Ye Jingchi was full of thoughts, but he was not willing to reveal them to her at all. Forget it, she was too lazy to care about him.

I have to find a way to go to the Chi family and get the precious medicinal herbs I want.

This time Li Ying came to Chi's house alone and did not bring Ye Jingchi.

Chi Mu Nian was not at home. Only Madam Chi and Huan Chun were at home. Chi En was still locked in the house.

When Mrs. Chi saw Li Ying coming over alone, her expression unexpectedly looked much better than before.

Sure enough, the person she hated was Ye Jingchi. It seemed that this old lady Chi must have some grudge against Ye Jingchi.

Since Ye Jingchi refused to say, she didn't bother to care. What she wanted was the medicinal herbs in the Chi family's backyard.

At least it would be possible to get the Dingfeng Grass before the junior brother comes back.

"Mrs. Chi!"

The old lady raised her hand and beckoned to Li Ying: "Come, Miss Li Ying, come here."

Li Ying stepped forward.

Mrs. Chi ordered Huanchun to take care of his own business.

"Let Li Ying walk with me in the garden."

"Good mother."

Huanchun stepped back, and Li Ying followed Old Lady Chi into the courtyard filled with flowers.

"These were planted by my husband. After I was born, my health has been poor, so he planted a yard full of Chinese medicinal herbs for me, saying that smelling these herbs will make my condition much better. You know what, my condition really gets better every year."

Li Ying didn't want to expose all this. The herbs in the yard were very good, but what could really make Mrs. Chi's condition better was her mood. When a person is in a good mood, he or she will naturally get better.

Mr. Chi loved his wife. In order to keep her alive, he planted medicinal herbs all over the yard, which also gave Mrs. Chi hope of survival.

"I've heard that you and Mr. Chi are deeply in love. Now I hear that, it's really enviable."

"The old man passed away too early. If he were still alive, the peaceful and prosperous world we have today would definitely be what he would want to see most."

Mr. Chi was dedicated to delivering medicine to the soldiers on the front line. He worked too hard and died of illness shortly after the founding of China at the age of 45.

"For so many years, I have followed his teachings and trained him to become a Western doctor. Ye has raised his grandson very well. I am very relieved, but this matter of Chi En makes me very sad."

"Mrs. Chi, Chi En just suffered a mental shock. It's not a serious problem. You don't have to worry too much." Li Ying comforted.

Madam Chi stood in front of a flowering tree. "This is a flowering tree that can only survive in a place like Jiangcheng. Do you recognize it?"

The golden yellow trumpet tree looks very beautiful.

"This is a wind bell tree."

Madam Chi nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "The Chi family has always been harmonious, and there is no negative reputation in the entire imperial capital. My little grandson, he is an extremely perfect person."

Li Ying seemed to understand what the old lady meant. She probably knew something, but she wanted to maintain the reputation of the Chi family so much that she didn't want some shameful things to be exposed.

As a heroine who has contributed so much to China, she has a strong ability of observation.

"Madam, what will happen if the trumpet tree gets bugs and is left unattended for a long time?" Li Ying asked back.

Old Madam Chi paused, her cloudy eyes gazing into the distance, as if she had traveled through time and saw her husband's busy figure in the midst of war.

"Losing a piece of flesh hurts, but it's better than having a whole piece of flesh rot. Isn't that right?"

Huanchun came over with tea.

"Mother and Comrade Li Ying seemed to get along very well?"

"Yes, Madam Chi and I hit it off right away, so I wanted to ask her for some medicinal herbs."

Huanchun glanced at Li Ying and looked at Old Madam Chi: "Mother, what do you think?"

"Give it to her. There are so many herbs in the yard. They are meant to cure diseases and save lives."

Li Ying thanked the old lady and followed Huanchun into the backyard.

"Comrade Li Ying, take a look and see if you need any herbs. I'll get them for you."

Li Ying asked for Dingfengcao, Didingding and Panax notoginseng.

"I heard that Captain Ye was injured and is recovering at your place. These are for Captain Ye, right?" Huanchun asked casually.

"Um."

"But this Dingfengcao doesn't seem to be of any use for wounds, right?"

"This is for myself. I have gout, and it has gotten worse since I got pregnant." Li Ying lied.

"Comrade Li Ying, you can't use medicine indiscriminately. You are pregnant and it will be bad for the fetus." Huanchun took the medicine used by Li Ying, wrapped it up personally, and then went upstairs with Li Ying to give Chi En an acupuncture.

Chi En was acting strangely today and was giving Li Ying an acupuncture obediently.

When going out, Li Ying took a special look at Chi En's room and found that all the windows were sealed with steel bars, which meant he was being imprisoned.

"His condition is sometimes better and sometimes worse, and I don't know when it will end." Huanchun looked at his son in grief.

Li Ying saw the mother's pain, but also felt the control a mother exerted over her son.

When Huanchun spoke, Chi En's body trembled slightly, which was a subconscious resistance and fear.

"He just couldn't accept the facts for a while, so he became like this. He'll be fine soon!"

Li Ying glanced at Chi En, then turned and went downstairs.

Huanchun walked Li Ying to the door and called the family driver to drive Li Ying back.

Li Ying did not refuse, thanked Huanchun, and got in the car.

After returning home, Li Ying took the medicine to the pharmacy, and as soon as she walked out of the house, she was hugged tightly in someone's arms.

"Li Ying, why didn't you tell me that you were going to the Chi family?" Ye Jingchi was very angry and blamed Li Ying for acting on her own.

Li Ying pushed Ye Jingchi away: "With you here, Madam Chi won't be honest with me."

Ye Jingchi frowned: "Any gains?"

Li Ying nodded: "Not only did I get some medicinal herbs, I also know one thing."

"What is it?"

"Do you know where the Jacaranda trees live?" Li Ying asked a random question.

"It seems to be from Jiangcheng."

"So our focus is to go to Jiangcheng to investigate." Li Ying smiled.

Ye Jingchi was still very unhappy: "Next time before you do something like this, be sure to tell me. You are pregnant now, and it is very dangerous to run around alone."

"Well, ever since I heard they were targeting you and not me, I felt they wouldn't attack me." Li Ying smiled cunningly.

Ye Jingchi tapped Li Ying on the forehead: "Aren't you worried that they will use you against me?"
