Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
In the next room, Zhu Lin, Ning Zhengtao, and the doctor were quite busy. Xiao Jing was chased out by the old lady, who said that she needed to bathe her grandson and take him naked, and that it was inappropriate for a young woman like her to stay in the room, as she wasn't without family.
As for the male doctor, he was definitely just curious. Given Jiang Qiao's condition, it was clearly not appropriate to disturb her. The only thing he could do was to observe Ning Hao up close.
Ning Hao was emitting a strange odor, and his entire body seemed to be covered by a layer of dark stuff.
Following Qiao Jie's instructions, Zhu Lin used the medicine to clean her grandson's body little by little. The smell was so unpleasant that even the old lady found it a bit unpleasant. She didn't know what was coming out of there. If even a perfectly healthy person like her felt uncomfortable smelling it, how much more uncomfortable would she feel if it came out of her grandson's body? The child was suffering terribly.
"Was this caused by poison?"
Qiao Jie was also worried about Ning Hao in the next room. Seeing his granddaughter nod at him, the old man understood that the child should be fine, so he came over to check on him.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the male doctor's words.
"Yes, this is something formed by toxins inside the body. Continue taking the medicine, and there shouldn't be any major problems."
Ning Zhengtao was anxious. "Old Qiao, when will Haozi wake up?"
Qiao Jie checked the time. "It should be soon. Go and prepare some food for the child. Just get some porridge and vegetables from the cafeteria. For now, he shouldn't eat greasy food, not for a while."
Zhu Lin looked up and asked, "Old Qiao, how's the girl? Is she alright?"
Qiao Jie sighed, "He's lying in the next room, he's exhausted. Let the child take a nap."
Ning Zhengtao was actually quite curious. "Old Qiao, when did this girl become so amazing?"
Qiao Jie rolled his eyes at him. "With a grandpa like me around, how could our Qiao'er be anything less than perfect? While the girl is studying every day, you old man are probably out taking a stroll somewhere. Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and go get the child something to eat. Let Ning Hao wake up naturally, and try not to disturb him."
The male doctor pulled Qiao Jie aside, wanting to find out the origin of this poison.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. This has existed since ancient times and was brought from foreign lands. Luckily, our family found a book about it, and our Qiao'er read it, so she knows how to do it."
"If it were anything else, we might not be able to cure this poison either. That's just the situation. It's understandable that we don't know. Who knew that after so long, someone would still use this to harm people? If you have any questions, you'll have to wait until my granddaughter recovers."
Having learned from her previous experience, Jiang Qiao dared not think about anything this time. She held her breath and focused on recovering her depleted internal energy.
Song Shutian paced back and forth in the corridor, wondering when the little girl would get better. She was so listless and didn't seem to need any help.
Xiao Jing was also waiting outside with him. After Jiang Qiao was carried out by Song Shutian, she started to wonder what kind of ability this little girl had that made Song Shutian value her so much.
"Brother Song, what does the Jiang Qiao family do?"
Song Shutian glanced at her and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Taking care of your patients is your job. Let me tell you, don't mess with Jiang Qiao. She's not someone you can mess with. Even my father has to give her some face. Think it over. Don't covet what doesn't belong to you."
That's all Song Shutian could say to Xiao Jing; he'd leave the rest for her to figure out herself.
Xiao Jing was somewhat stunned. "What? Uncle Song is going to give this girl some face? How is that possible? She doesn't look that old."
Song Shutian shrugged. "That's right. She's such a young girl, why are you still thinking about her? Remember my words, some consequences are beyond your control. Don't cause trouble for your father. It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. As for whether she could listen to his advice, Song Shutian didn't know. However, he knew one thing: if this person dared to lay a hand on Jiang Qiao, even his department head would be furious, let alone him.
After Qiao Jie and Ning Zhengtao came out, Xiao Jing couldn't wait to go in. Zhu Lin frowned when she saw her like this.
"Grandma Ning, is Ning Hao awake yet?"
Despite her many grievances, Zhu Lin didn't say anything else.
"He hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said to wait for him to wake up naturally, but most of the poison has already been removed."
Xiao Jing was somewhat surprised by the result, and muttered to herself, "This Jiang Qiao is quite impressive."
Zhu Lin was completely focused on her grandson and couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Xiao Jing.
Just as Jiang Qiao was regaining her strength, Ning Hao also woke up. He was extremely weak, having not eaten for many days. The injections he received were only enough to maintain his basic vital signs.
Qiao Jie and Song Shutian didn't dare leave either. They got some food in the cafeteria and ate it in the corridor. They were afraid that if one of them left or the other accidentally disturbed Jiang Qiao, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if it wasn't enemy agents causing trouble, if Jiang Qiao went into a qi deviation again, it would be even more disastrous.
So when Jiang Qiao came out, the old man and Song Shutian had just finished eating. When they saw the little girl walking out so well, Song Shutian was delighted.
"Jiang Qiao, how are you? Are you alright this time?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "It's alright. With the two of you watching over me, what could possibly happen to me? How's Ning Hao?"
The old man handed Jiang Qiao a lunchbox. "Eat first, you must be hungry. Haozi is fine, he's eating inside."
Since everyone was alright, Jiang Qiao quickly took the lunchbox and started eating. This time, she noticed a problem. She didn't know if it was because of the problem last time or some other reason she didn't know, but the internal energy she had replenished seemed to be a tiny bit stronger than before. Don't underestimate this tiny bit; even a tiny bit of this would take her a lot of time and effort to grow.
You could say she turned misfortune into blessing this time. Some people might not improve much even after a lifetime of practice, but she actually improved after consuming her internal energy. There are too many strange things happening, and she doesn't have the energy to investigate them now. As long as it's not a bad thing, that's fine.
When Jiang Qiao went inside after finishing her meal, oh my goodness, the scene was somewhat comical. Xiao Jing and Zhu Lin were each holding a bowl, one feeding Ning Hao rice and the other feeding him vegetables. However, it seemed that Ning Hao ate more often. He only ate the food in Xiao Jing's hand when it was almost touching his mouth; otherwise, he basically wouldn't eat it.
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but laugh. Ning Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao waved her hand and said, "Don't talk yet, listen to me. Don't eat until you're full, just half full is enough. Drink more water to flush out the toxins. If you have the energy, get down and walk around."
"Your leg hasn't been moving for a long time, so there shouldn't be any other problems. Stay here for a few days for observation, and you can go home to continue taking your medication afterward. Try to talk as little as possible."
