After saying that, Qi Yasheng sighed.

"Dad, I think you're overthinking it!"

Sweet Moon is definitely a good child, but her strange behavior since she came back is making people uncomfortable.

I think it's possible that the child suffered too much in the Xia family over the years, which has affected his temperament.

Let's see if we can fix it!

Even if she continues like this, in the future, our family will just have to pay for another dowry!

"Ya Sheng, your vigilance is still too low."

Qi Yuan still frowned.

"Something's not right here!"

We searched for fifteen years without finding him, and then he came to us on his own?

Moreover, why did our child end up with the Xia family in Haicheng?

Even if she ended up in an ordinary family, I could still believe in her a little!

This whole thing looks like a conspiracy!

Ya Sheng, do as I said, have someone keep an eye on the child and see who she's associating with.

...

Su Ruyi was unaware of the conversation between Qi Yuan and his son.

She returned to her space and went through the list of medications and tools needed to treat Qi Yuan once more.

She had already put away the blood samples collected from Qi Yaqin and Xia Tianxiu earlier.

Li Wang got her a small bowl of chicken blood from the cafeteria. In the kitchen of the space, she added some medicine and roasted it into powder to serve as a so-called "medicinal guide".

As for the pills, they were just ordinary lung-clearing pills, which she made herself.

The medicinal ingredients and pills are just a smokescreen.

The key to its effectiveness lies in the treatment process itself.

After studying the medical books on the second row of the study for a few days, her mind suddenly became much clearer.

Old Qi's lungs were like a sponge covered in dirt.

What she had to do was squeeze the sponge, transferring the dirt from the alveoli to the bronchi and trachea, and then instantly transferring it into space.

Yes, a simple and direct physical method.

But only she can do it.

Because it requires the use of divine sense to control the process, using just the right amount of force to squeeze the alveoli and remove impurities.

She had already tried this method on the patients in the space, and it was foolproof.

At the appointed time, Su Ruyi arrived at Qingquan District once again.

This time, only Qi Yuan was in the courtyard.

It turned out that on the very night of their heart-to-heart talk, Qi Yasheng had already taken Qi Yaqin and Xia Tianxiu away.

Summer Show is back in Beijing!

Su Ruyi felt her hands and feet were ice cold.

"Dr. Su, what do you think of my granddaughter?" Qi Yuan asked abruptly.

“I don’t know her well,” Su Ruyi said cautiously, “so I can’t make any rash judgments.”

"You don't like her, why?!" Qi Yuan keenly grasped the deeper meaning in Su Ruyi's words. "Most people would feel a little awkward and praise her a few times if they heard this question."

"No, it's just that in my memory, she lived under the tyranny of the two Xia sisters, and was a very timid and sullen person. But when I saw her again, she had become very... how should I put it..."

"This doesn't seem like someone who has gone through so much suffering, does it?" Qi Yuan pointed out the obvious.

“Yes,” Su Ruyi nodded, “Her naiveté and liveliness make me feel very uncomfortable.”

"So, is the suffering fake, or is the innocence and liveliness fake?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Su Ruyi smiled and said, "You shouldn't overthink it—overthinking will also affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Qi Yuan lay down as Su Ruyi gestured, a little worried: "Will this treatment hurt?"

“It will hurt.” Su Ruyi was very direct. “I will give you anesthesia, but there will be persistent pain after the treatment, which may last for more than ten hours. Every breath you take will hurt, but you have to persevere. By tomorrow morning, you will be fully recovered!”

"I knew it! Luckily I didn't take any medicine of unknown origin!" Qi Yuan said with great relief. "Dr. Su, I almost took a pill before! It said seven pills could cure it completely! What a liar!"

Su Ruyi raised an eyebrow: "Is the pill you're talking about made with a transparent, blocky substance as a medicinal guide?"

"Yes, you knew about it too?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise. "Those fake medicine swindlers have even managed to scam you?"

"Who gave you this medicine?" Su Ruyi asked calmly.

It turns out that Chef Wang gave the medicine to Qi Yuan! And Qi Yuan actually mistook it for fake medicine!

"Yes... an old friend. But he must have been scammed too!" Qi Yuan sighed. "Luckily! I almost took it! If my daughter hadn't desperately persuaded me... By the way, Doctor Su, what happens if you take that medicine? Will you die?"

"You will recover completely," Su Ruyi said succinctly.

"What?" Qi Yuan sat up abruptly. "Dr. Su?"

"The pills you mentioned, were they given to you by Wang Changping?" Su Ruyi smiled slightly. "That medicine was prescribed by me to treat his lung disease. He couldn't bear to use it, so he gave it to you."

"What did you say?!" Qi Yuan's eyes widened. "That's not fake medicine?"

"That's the medicine and its guide that I prepared during the last solar term. It can only be prepared once a year. Wang Changping gave this medicine to you, and then his lung disease flared up, and he almost didn't make it!" Su Ruyi was a little indignant. Wang Changping gave the life-saving medicine to Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan listened to a few slanderous words from Qi Yaqin and thought it was fake medicine?

"Is this true?" Qi Yuan still couldn't believe it.

Su Ruyi turned around and took out a brocade box from her medicine box, which was actually her spatial storage: "The medicine you received is packaged like this, right? Look at the bottom of the packaging, yes, hold it up to the light—do you see it?"

“Hui-Chun-Tang?” Qi Yuan held the brocade box and moved it slightly, seeing the three embroidered characters on the bottom of the box.

“Yes, that’s the name of my family’s traditional clinic.” Su Ruyi maintained her smile.

“We have a brocade box like this in our family! Exactly the same!” Qi Yuan exclaimed excitedly. “Dr. Su, perhaps our two families have some ancestral connection!”

"Where's my box of pills?" Su Ruyi asked.

"I...I asked Yaqin to take it to Beijing to find someone...to have the components tested!" Qi Yuan lowered his head in embarrassment.

"That's a pity." Su Ruyi shook her head. "If you had that box of pills, you wouldn't have had to suffer all this pain!"

"Wait!" Qi Yuan jumped up and called to his bodyguard, "Xiao Cong!"

Guard Xiao Cong rushed in at top speed: "What's wrong, sir?"

Qi Yuan said urgently, "Call home in Beijing right now! Ask where that box of medicine I had Yaqin take for testing is!"

"Commander..." Xiao Cong hesitated, "...that brocade box..."

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan glared at him. "Speak!"

Xiao Cong was sweating profusely: "That brocade box... Aunt Qi gave it to me, and told me... told me to throw it as far as possible..."
