Chapter 100 Breaking the Information Gap: The Real Poisoner
Xia Yuhuan carried the medicinal wine downstairs, and just then the meal was ready. The family of three washed their hands and sat down to eat.
She poured Chi Shaokang a small glass of wine.
"Dad, please try this. This medicinal wine has the effect of conditioning your body. Drinking it in moderation will only benefit your health and will not do you any harm."
"Okay, I'll try it." Chi Shaokang smiled and reached out to take the wine.
Zhang Xianya glared at him from the side: "You can't take your eyes off the wine, can you? Eat first, then drink."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang gave an awkward smile.
Zhang Xianya said to Xia Yuhuan, "Don't be fooled by your dad's reliable appearance. He's a heavy drinker and can't resist alcohol. If you let him drink freely, he'll get himself drunk to death."
"So I have to keep an eye on him, lest he take advantage of the fact that you gave him the medicinal wine and he feels healthy from drinking it, and then act recklessly."
Helpless, Chi Shaokang tugged at her sleeve and muttered, "Say less, at least give me some face, okay?"
Zhang Xianya ignored him and instead said seriously to Xia Yuhuan, "Xiaohuan, Mom is not saying this because she has a problem with you giving him alcohol. She is just telling you that he is unreliable when it comes to drinking. Don't overthink it, Xiaohuan."
Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "I know, Mom. I didn't think much of it."
Although Chi Shaokang has been taking good care of himself and recovering well since his serious injury, the damage to his heart meridian is a fact. Therefore, he is extremely careful about his diet and avoids smoking and drinking.
He was only allowed to have a small cup of wine during holidays and festivals.
If someone is already a connoisseur of fine wine, then their consumption should indeed be strictly controlled.
"That's good." Zhang Xianya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; she had been worried that Xia Yuhuan would misunderstand.
"Let's eat quickly and chat while we eat."
The family of three enjoyed a meal together in harmony. After filling their stomachs, Chi Shaokang couldn't wait to bring out some wine to drink.
He took a small sip of the wine, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Hmm, this wine is good, mellow and fragrant. It's just as good as the famous wines on the market. Xiao Huan, how did you brew this?" Chi Shaokang looked at Xia Yuhuan in surprise.
"This is medicinal wine, mainly used for daily conditioning of the body. The taste is a bit lacking. If you drink a small cup every now and then, in conjunction with the treatment I give you, it will be good for your health," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
Products from this space are guaranteed to be of high quality. Although the Spirit Spring does not have direct healing effects, it is absolutely top-notch in terms of support.
Therefore, soaking medicinal herbs in medicinal wine can maximize the medicinal properties and amplify the effects.
Chi Shaokang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can we drink it every now and then?"
His eager look, unlike his usual dignified and solemn demeanor, added a touch of cuteness.
Xia Yuhuan handed the wine jar beside her to Zhang Xianya.
"The wine is good, but you can't overindulge. I'll leave this wine with Mom and have her pour you this much every three or five days so you can enjoy it while it's good for your health," Xia Yu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang looked as if the sky had fallen.
He tried to struggle: "Isn't this wine for me to drink? Why was it given to your mother to keep? I can keep it myself."
Zhang Xianya unceremoniously shoved the wine jar in front of her and glared at Chi Shaokang: "What, you still have a problem with that, huh?"
Chi Shaokang's lips twitched, and he quickly said, "No objection. You should keep this wine. How could I possibly have an objection? Absolutely no objection!"
As if to express his loyalty, Chi Shaokang repeatedly emphasized this.
Xia Yuhuan watched the two laughing and joking, feeling nothing but envy.
I wonder if they will be able to develop a relationship as good as their parents' once Chi Yanzhou wakes up?
That evening, after Xia Yuhuan finished washing up, she whispered these words to Chi Yanzhou while gossiping with him.
Chi Yanzhou silently replied in his heart: "Yes, I can, I definitely can."
As long as she is willing to stay by his side and live a good life with him, he will unconditionally indulge her and pamper her.
He believed that feelings could be cultivated, and that if he performed well enough, she would eventually fall in love with him too!
Xia Yuhuan then added, "But no matter what our relationship is like in the future, I believe it will definitely not be like my mother and Xia Jianyong. You are definitely better than that scumbag Xia Jianyong, right?"
Chi Yanzhou was so shocked he exploded: "Wife, how could you compare me to scum like Xia Jianyong? Who do you think you are!"
He couldn't help but feel resentful.
When he wakes up, he must make a good impression on his wife so that she remembers only his good qualities and stops comparing him to scum like Xia Jianyong.
Xia Yuhuan then gossiped to Chi Yanzhou about her encounter with Xia Jianyong that day.
He then added, "I wonder who was the person who conspired with Xia Jianyong to murder my grandfather back then? Xia Jianyong murdered my grandfather to seize the family property, but what was the other party's motive?"
"What Dad meant was that the person who contacted Xia Jianyong is now under surveillance by his people, who are preparing to follow the trail to find out who's behind him. Now, I just hope everything goes smoothly and nothing unexpected happens."
After Xia Yuhuan finished gossiping with Chi Yanzhou, the massage ended.
She lay down beside Chi Yanzhou and soon fell soundly asleep.
Xia Yuhuan didn't know whether Chi Shaokang's investigation into Xia Jianyong's situation went smoothly, but her treatment of Wang Qi was progressing very well.
Xia Yuhuan originally estimated that Wang Qi would need to be treated for seven days, as his body was weak and he might remain unconscious for another three or four days before waking up.
However, she used spiritual spring water when decocting the medicine for Wang Qi, and also added spiritual spring water to the medicinal bath. The effect was far better than she had expected. By the fifth day of treatment, the toxins in Wang Qi's body had been completely eliminated.
Although Wang Qi has not yet regained consciousness, Xia Yuhuan felt that he should be close to being fully recovered.
Sure enough, Wang Qi woke up that afternoon, and his mental state was quite good, making him fully capable of handling the interrogation.
Yan Hu stared at Wang Qi and said, "Wang Qi, the other party has already tried to kill you, so there's no need for you to hide anything from them anymore. Just confess everything you haven't confessed yet, and you can atone for your crimes and try to get lenient treatment."
Wang Qi was somewhat confused and aggrieved, not understanding why: "I've already told you everything I know, there's really nothing I'm hiding."
Yan Hu sneered: "If you really had nothing to hide, why would they be in such a hurry to silence you?"
"Wang Qi, if you continue to stubbornly cover up for the person behind the scenes, we may not be able to save your life next time."
"No, I really told you everything, I absolutely didn't hide anything, you have to believe me." Wang Qi immediately became anxious.
Yan Hu looked at Wang Qi like this and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Could it be that he really misunderstood Wang Qi?
Xia Yuhuan, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked, "Did you poison Chi Yanzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qi was somewhat bewildered: "Chi Yanzhou was poisoned? I didn't know that. I tried to poison him that day, but I was caught on the spot, so I didn't succeed!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Hu suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Xia Yuhuan: "Wasn't it Wang Qi who poisoned Yan Zhou? It was Aunt Zhao who poisoned him!"
