Of course, Dongfang Die didn't say these words aloud; she knew very well that even if she did, it wouldn't make any difference.

Otherwise, no matter how sweet Dongfang Yelei's words were, he wouldn't change his mind and give up on marrying Zheng Qiangkai.

After all, what does family ties matter in the face of power?

Dongfang Yelei looked at Dongfang Die, and seeing that she was unwilling to speak, he continued.

"I know you're upset that I chose Zheng Qiangkai for you, but right now there really isn't a better option. Otherwise, why would I have married you off to him?"

Don't worry, with your father around, he would never dare to misbehave towards you. As long as you can keep his whole family on my side, your status in the Zheng family will only rise higher and higher.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Die sneered inwardly.

She completely lost all faith and attachment to this family bond, which was thinner than paper.

Ultimately, she was more like a pawn than a daughter.

"My father makes the decisions, and I have nothing to say."

There's no point in saying more; it's better to remain silent.

Seeing Dongfang Die's indifferent expression, Dongfang Yelei felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He didn't understand. He had already lowered himself so much, what else could Dongfang Die possibly be unwilling about?

What's wrong with marrying Zheng Qiangkai? Apart from being a bit of a womanizer, his family background is excellent in every way. There are quite a few people in Lancheng who want to marry Zheng Qiangkai.

Besides, which man in the world isn't a womanizer? In ancient times, any man with some power would have three wives and four concubines. As long as he held onto his position as the first wife and had another son, everything in the Zheng family would be hers in a few decades.

He just couldn't understand why Dongfang Yelei would give birth to such a brainless daughter. Clearly, the most unreliable thing in the world is that illusory love, yet she still insists on having it. Isn't that just courting death?

If it weren't for his lack of offspring, he would have discarded this worthless piece of chess long ago.

Finally, Dongfang Yelei's eyes deepened as he said, "Think carefully about what I'm saying and see if it makes sense."

"No love is as reliable as the power you hold in your hands. Just remember that you are my daughter, Dongfang Yelei's daughter. As long as I am here, you will live a life of privilege."

At the same time, you must remember that you are my daughter, Dongfang Yelei's daughter. We share both glory and ruin.

He then turned and left.

"What a fine 'shared glory, shared loss' statement," Dongfang Die said coldly. "Do I care?"

After saying that, he plucked the flowers off the table and left.

...

The next morning.

When Jian Yixue entered Old Master Dongfang's room, Dongfang Tinglan was naturally wiping the two elders' bodies.

Hearing the noise at the door, Dongfang Tinglan slowly turned around and looked at her, saying, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

The image of Jian Yixue's pale face from yesterday was still fresh in her mind, and now that Jian Yixue was six months pregnant, she was naturally somewhat worried.

Although the patients are her parents, she is also a mother, and naturally she can't bear to see her children overworked.

Jian Yixue stepped forward and smiled, "I'm fine. I've recovered completely after a night's rest."

Last night, she specially took out the water from the Spirit Lake from her spatial storage, and felt much more comfortable after washing with it.

Later, he still had the energy to enter the space and visit the village chief and Aunt Qiu. Seeing that they were doing well inside, he was relieved.

Dongfang Tinglan carefully examined Jian Yixue and saw that she was indeed no longer tired, but rather full of energy, so she immediately believed her words.

"You should still be careful. Now that you're feeling unwell, just let me and Old Master Cheng know if anything happens."

Jian Yixue nodded, "I understand. I just got up, so I came to see how my grandparents are recovering."

Dongfang Tinglan nodded, and then gave the bedside seat to Jian Yixue.

Jian Yixue sat down on the edge of the bed and took the pulses of both the old master and the old lady of the East, then nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Grandpa and Grandma's poison has been almost completely neutralized. I'll give them another acupuncture treatment to expel any remaining toxins, and then they'll have a medicinal bath. That should be enough."

Dongfang Tinglan nodded, then frowned as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Then why haven't they woken up yet?"

Logically, now that the poison has been neutralized, he should wake up soon. Why is he still unconscious after a whole night? Dongfang Tinglan couldn't understand it.

Hearing this, Jian Yixue thought of how she first met her grandparents and said, "They must have exhausted their bodies before, are weak, and are getting old, so their metabolism is slow. Naturally, it will take them longer to wake up than expected."

After listening, Dongfang Tinglan's face was full of worry.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue continued, "But Mom, don't worry. With me here, Grandpa and Grandma will be fine. Mom, I'll give them acupuncture. They should wake up once the remaining toxins are expelled."

After saying that, Jian Yixue took out her acupuncture kit from her spatial storage and was about to start when she suddenly heard Dongfang Tinglan's voice in her ear.

"I'll do it."

Jian Yixue looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Mom, let me do it. You may not be familiar with some of the acupoints."

She had seen this acupuncture technique in her spatial dimension, and it was far more refined than what her master had taught her.

Dongfang Tinglan said, "I'll administer the acupuncture, and you can teach me."

Don't underestimate Mom. She used to be a traveling doctor, and she knows a little about acupuncture.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue stopped being coy.

"Okay, then I'll point, and you can place the needle."

Dongfang Tinglan nodded, then deftly disinfected the acupuncture needles. Jian Yixue then called out an acupuncture point, and Dongfang Tinglan inserted the needle.

Half an hour later, we finally completed more than half of the entire project.

Dongfang Tinglan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I didn't expect your acupuncture technique to be so wonderful, but it does consume a lot of your energy and spirit."

She could hardly believe how Jian Yixue had managed to complete the acupuncture treatment yesterday, even though it was for two people, despite her exhaustion.

Jian Yixue smiled and said, "Yes, this is what I saw in the space. It is indeed much more refined than what my master taught me."

"If Mom likes it, I'll bring it to you to see later."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan's eyes brightened considerably, and she said, "Good, good, good."

She is open to learning any kind of medical skill.

Especially after being in a coma for fifteen years, she was afraid that the medical skills she had learned before would not keep up with the times, so she did need to continue learning.

Jane nodded.

The reason we haven't given it to them now is because we're worried about being overheard.

The two male owners also got up a little later and are now sitting at a chessboard, dominating the game.

"Dad, you won." Ye Mohan said calmly.

Gong Beize looked at the chessboard with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
