Chapter 15 A Family of Annoying People, Who Really Wants to Kill Him?
During today's meal, Xia Yuhuan not only got to know the other members of the Chi family, but also understood their attitude towards Chi Yanzhou's family.
Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi had three children in total. The eldest was Chi Shaokang, the second was Chi Shaoning, and the youngest was a daughter named Chi Shaolan.
Chi Shaoning also works in the military, just like Chi Shaokang, but his position is not as high as Chi Shaokang's. He appears to be quite amiable on the surface, but he keeps making sarcastic remarks, clearly jealous of his older brother Chi Shaokang.
Chi Shaolan works in another city with her husband, so Xia Yuhuan hasn't seen her and can't make a judgment.
But judging from the Chi Shaoning family she met, they were no pushovers.
They clearly didn't get along with Chi Shaokang's family. On the surface, they seemed to be chatting and laughing and had a good relationship, but in reality, they didn't hold back in verbally harassing Chi Shaokang's family.
Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi seem to be very nice people, but they seem to be somewhat biased towards Chi Shaoning.
When Chi Shaoning made sarcastic remarks about Chi Shaokang, they didn't explicitly stop him, only offering some perfunctory words of dissuasion, which were ignored by Chi Shaoning and his wife.
Li Cuiwei and Chi Shaoning are cut from the same cloth; she always adds insult to injury whenever Chi Shaoning is speaking.
Chi Zhenghao looked cold and emotionless, but his gaze towards her was full of disdain and disgust.
Her first impression of Chi Jung-ho was correct; this man clearly disliked her.
Although she had not offended the other party, she was inexplicably disliked.
Chi Wenhong is a young girl, only twelve years old, but she is particularly arrogant and somewhat domineering, and not easy to deal with.
Xia Yuhuan wasn't someone who enjoyed dealing with interpersonal relationships, and at this moment, she was really having a headache because of the mess that was the Chi family.
"Forget it, I'm already married into this family, there's no point in thinking about it now, I'll just have to deal with it as it comes."
Xia Yuhuan muttered something to Chi Yanzhou in a low voice, while simultaneously taking his pulse.
As she expected, the toxins in Chi Yanzhou's body were more severe than when she first examined her pulse.
Perhaps the other party was afraid of being discovered, so the dosage was very weak. If it weren't for her own strength, she really wouldn't have been able to detect such a subtle change.
"I don't know who's so jealous of your good fortune that they took the opportunity to poison you. At this dosage, you're bound to die of organ failure in two years."
"It's such a pity. He could have gotten better, but he was ruined by someone else."
Xia Yuhuan muttered something as she took out her needle kit and began to administer acupuncture to Chi Yanzhou.
"But don't worry, you're lucky to have met me. You won't die young. I won't let you die."
"You are a soldier who protects our country, with an indomitable spirit. You could have given your life to serve your country and its people, but you should not have died because of the despicable schemes of petty people."
"I don't know who harmed you. You should investigate this yourself once you wake up."
In her previous life, Xia Yuhuan spent a lot of time doing research, often alone. She wasn't the kind of person who was aloof and wouldn't say a word all day, so she had long since learned to pass the time by talking to herself.
Although talking to a person in a coma and in a vegetative state was bound to be unanswerable, she didn't find it boring or tedious at all, continuing to talk and do her own thing.
Xia Yuhuan was administering acupuncture to Chi Yanzhou when the door suddenly opened, and the entire Chi family, who were supposed to have left, appeared at the door.
"What are you doing?" Old Master Chi asked in a serious voice.
His gaze towards Xia Yuhuan was sharp and piercing.
It was as if she had done something utterly heinous.
Upon seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed across Chi Zhenghao's cold eyes.
He said coldly, "Grandpa, am I right? She married my eldest brother with ill intentions. She just wanted to find an opportunity to kill him."
A group of people rushed in, all staring intently at Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised by this turn of events.
However, she quickly calmed down.
However, before she could speak, Old Master Chi ordered, "Quickly remove the needles from Yan Zhou's body, lest you hurt him."
"Poor Yan Zhou is unconscious. He hasn't even had a chance to see his new bride yet, and he's been stabbed like a hedgehog. He was already seriously injured, and this stab will only make things worse. What will we do?" Li Cuiwei said with a worried expression.
Chi Shaoning also said, "Yanzhou's wife, before things get serious, you should quickly remove the needles from Yanzhou's body. Then apologize to your elder brother and sister-in-law properly; they won't hold it against you."
Before Xia Yuhuan could even explain, she became the target of everyone's criticism, with several people standing against her and accusing her.
She wasn't the type to take things lying down, nor was she the kind of person who would remain silent after being criticized. So, Xia Yuhuan's face darkened, and just as she was about to say something, Zhang Xianya appeared at the door.
"Dad, Mom, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Didn't you just leave?" Zhang Xianya asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Chi Shaokang personally saw the group out, and now they were back in Chi Yanzhou's room, which truly surprised her.
Grandpa Chi said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, have you investigated your daughter-in-law carefully? Don't let your guard down just because you're thinking about helping Yanzhou get a wife. Look at how she's treated Yanzhou, she definitely has ulterior motives."
“Yes, sister-in-law, we all know that you're arranging a marriage for Yanzhou at this time to bring him good luck and for his own good. We hope he gets better, but we don't want things to end up being a complete disaster and losing everything,” Chi Shaoning added.
Zhang Xianya felt a pang of anxiety when she saw Chi Yanzhou covered in needles.
Her gaze fell on Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan remained calm and said indifferently, "My adoptive grandfather was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I grew up learning medicine from him. The acupuncture I performed was just to help him unblock his meridians and regulate his qi and blood. I did not intend to harm Chi Yanzhou."
This was the first time Xia Yuhuan had spoken up to defend herself since the Chi family entered and she was under siege.
She wasn't sure if Zhang Xianya would believe her story.
Even if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter, as long as she has a clear conscience.
To her surprise, Zhang Xianya stepped forward, stood beside her, took her hand, and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Then, she calmly looked at the rest of the Chi family.
"Dad, Mom, I know that Xiao Huan knows medicine. I also allowed her to help take care of and regulate Yan Zhou's health. You've both misunderstood Xiao Huan," Zhang Xianya said calmly.
Grandpa Chi was surprised to hear this. He frowned and glanced at Xia Yuhuan, then looked at Zhang Xianya: "Eldest daughter-in-law, are you really so comfortable entrusting Yanzhou to her? What can a greenhorn girl like her, even if she's been studying medicine since elementary school, possibly learn?"
