Hearing Si Yan's words, Ning Huan frowned. Who wanted to poison Zhou Jing'an?
Could it be that the original owner of this body was planning to poison him?
Si Yan said worriedly, "But all I know right now is that Mr. Zhou has been poisoned, but I don't know what kind of poison it is. How am I supposed to prescribe an antidote for him?"
Ning Huan thought for a moment and realized that she still had antidote pills in her consciousness space for Zhou Jing'an to take, so there was no need to worry about detoxification.
"Don't worry about this, Manager Si. I learned a prescription from my master that can cure all poisons. As long as it's not a very rare poison, this prescription can cure it."
Although the antidote is easy to find out, it's still necessary to know who poisoned Zhou Jing'an.
She asked, "Has my husband been poisoned for quite some time now?"
Si Yan replied, "That's right. The more painful the acupoint, the longer the poisoning has lasted and the deeper the poisoning is."
Thinking of this, Ning Huan said to Si Yan, "Manager Si, thank you for telling me this. But I hope you won't tell my husband, because this matter involves someone trying to kill him. Knowing his personality, he will definitely be angry."
"When his body can't handle it, I'm afraid the person who harmed him will also find out. Then it will be even more difficult to find out who poisoned my husband."
Si Yan nodded: "Of course, I understand what you mean, my wife. I won't say anything more about Mr. Zhou."
Ning Huan bowed slightly to him: "Then thank you very much, Doctor Si."
On the way back, Ning Huan kept thinking about whether the original owner of this body was trying to poison Zhou Jing'an, after all, this woman was so ruthless that she set fire to the Zhou family and killed them all.
Then she thought about it and realized that although the original owner of this body was ruthless enough, she didn't have such a clever mind.
The poison was administered so subtly that even she didn't notice it. If Si Yan hadn't taken his pulse and sensed something was amiss, and then tested his acupoints, probably no one would have known that Zhou Jing'an had been poisoned.
The original owner had no idea what kind of poison or dosage to use. Moreover, and most importantly, the original owner had no memory of poisoning him.
So, who is so ruthless as to poison Zhou Jing'an in such a silent way?
She returned home thoughtfully. The four little ones inside were very happy, surrounding Zhou Jing'an and saying, "Daddy, when you get better, you can play with us!"
"All you think about is playing! Daddy still has to teach us to read!"
"Father can go to school now, and he can even take the exams!"
"That's right, next time first place will definitely be our father's!"
Seeing how happy the little ones were, Zhou Jing'an's expression was not happy at all; instead, it darkened.
The little ones didn't notice anything amiss. When they saw Ning Huan return, they welcomed her into the house. The third child happily exclaimed, "Mommy, come in quickly!"
Ning Huan was taken aback by the word "Mother," and Da Bao and Xiao Er Bao were also stunned.
Little Sibao was the first to cheer up. She had been calling for her mother for a long time, saying that her mother had changed for the better and was no longer the terrible woman she used to be.
"I came back to visit today. What did you guys eat for dinner tonight?"
Looking at the little bundles of joy, Ning Huan forgot all her worries. Moreover, the fact that her little ones called her "Mom" made her feel even more at ease.
She had been busy all day, running around and was exhausted, but hearing "Mom" made her feel instantly less tired.
The four little ones shook their heads: "We didn't eat, and we didn't dare to go into the kitchen to look for things."
This was a rule set by the original owner of the body, forbidding the little ones from going into the kitchen to rummage for food.
At first, the four little dumplings would resist, but when they saw that the bad woman had hidden delicious food in the kitchen, they would always sneak into the kitchen to find it and steal it.
But every time the bad woman found out, they would get a beating, and all four little ones would be beaten together.
No matter who stole the food, all four siblings were beaten together. After a few times, they never dared to steal food from the kitchen again.
Even if I was starving, I didn't dare to go into the kitchen to rummage through things.
Ning Huan patted the heads of the four little ones helplessly: "There are five eggs I left for you in the kitchen, just in case you get hungry if I come back late."
Little Sanbao asked with some confusion, "Why are there five?"
Little Erbao gently patted Little Sanbao's head: "Silly boy, there's also Daddy! Of course, it has to be five eggs!"
Then he asked, "Can I go to the kitchen to eat now?"
Ning Huan nodded: "Of course you can, but the four of you should eat less. I'll make you some more food now. You've been hungry for most of the day, one egg isn't enough."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Erbao hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Just as he was about to step out the door, he hesitated and turned back, asking again with lingering doubt, "Can I really go to the kitchen to get some eggs?"
Ning Huan replied with a smile, "You silly child, didn't I just say it was okay? Go on."
Hearing Ning Huan reassure him that he could go to the kitchen, Xiao Erbao finally ran towards the kitchen with peace of mind.
As she stepped out, she called out, "Thank you, Mother!"
Hearing "Mother" again, Ning Huan was deeply moved. The little ones calling her "Mother" meant they acknowledged her.
She will make amends to the original owner of this body for any mistakes or even despicable acts they made in the past, little by little, through her own efforts.
When Da Bao saw that Xiao Er Bao, Xiao San Bao, and Xiao Si Bao had all called her "Mother," something flickered in his eyes, but then dimmed again.
After seeing the village chief off, Zhou Lan turned around and went to Zhou Jing'an's house.
Ning Huan had just cooked two simple dishes and saw Zhou Lan, so she quickly called out, "Big sister, come and eat, I just finished cooking."
Since it was getting late, Zhou's parents definitely wouldn't leave him any food if he went home at this hour.
Zhou Lan couldn't let her grandmother know she was hungry, so she decided to stay.
During the meal, she asked excitedly, "Sister-in-law, when can Jing'an take the medicine that Doctor Si prescribed for him today?"
Ning Huan replied, "Big sister, in principle, we should give it to him tomorrow, but he came in a hurry today and only brought some medicinal herbs. I will have to go to town again tomorrow to get the rest."
Zhou Lan nodded and said, "It's alright, I'll go with you tomorrow. As long as Jing'an can get the medicine, I'll go as many times as I want!"
She was still a little worried about the poison in Zhou Jing'an's body.
After all, everyone in the village knew that he had called a doctor for Zhou Jing'an today. Although he hadn't mentioned poisoning, there was no guarantee that the person who poisoned him wouldn't be so guilty as to suddenly poison Zhou Jing'an to death. What would he do then?
She said to Zhou Lan, "Elder sister, you don't need to come to town with me. I'll need you to come over tomorrow and help me take care of my husband and four little ones for a day."
