Chapter 242 I think you're overconfident and a bit shameless.
Chu Rou observed Bai Lao's expression and asked somewhat nervously, "Bai Lao, is there a problem with the medicine?"
Mo Chi noticed the change in Bai Lao's expression and looked somewhat uneasy, worried that his behavior yesterday had had too great an impact. "Bai Lao, has my wife's health improved?"
Old Bai looked up at Mo Chi and said, "Young Master Mo should restrain himself, otherwise the treatment will take longer and longer, which would be a loss!"
Mo Chi touched his nose. "Yesterday was an accident. It won't happen again. Mr. Bai, please give my wife more good medicine so she can recover as soon as possible. Money is not a problem."
“This isn’t about money; curing the disease takes time.” Old Bai rewrote the prescription. “Once the medicine is brewed, I’ll have someone deliver it to you. It’ll still be a half-month supply. Come back after you finish it and we’ll see.”
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Bai. We'll be going now." Chu Rou blushed and left with Mo Chi.
Bai Wan, who had been standing behind Old Master Bai, stepped forward to get the prescription. "Grandpa, I'll go get the medicine!"
Old Bai stopped Bai Wan's hand, his tone cold, "I don't need you, I'll catch it myself and cook it myself!"
"Grandpa!" Bai Wan looked at Grandpa Bai in surprise.
Old Bai stood up and slapped Bai Wan across the face. "Don't call me grandpa. I don't have a granddaughter as wicked as you!"
Bai Wan covered her face, her eyes filled with tears, "Grandpa, I..."
"Did I hit the wrong person?" Old Bai pointed at the Chinese medicine in the teacup and asked sternly, "What's going on with this medicine? Why is it different from the prescription I wrote!"
Bai Wan lowered her eyes, her face turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. "I...I might have taken the wrong medicine."
"You gave me the wrong medicine?" Old Bai nearly ripped his beard off. "Your simple words could kill someone!"
“She won’t die,” Bai Wan hurriedly defended herself. “I only added a little bit, it will only worsen her cold uterus and prevent her from getting pregnant.”
Upon hearing Bai Wan's words, Old Master Bai slapped her again, his lips trembling with anger. "Young Master Mo's wife certainly won't die; it's us who will!"
"Quickly give up that idea of marrying into a wealthy family, give it up completely," Old Master Bai pointed at Bai Wan with his finger, "You're dreaming, daydreaming!"
“I don’t want to marry into a wealthy family, I just like Mo Chi,” Bai Wan covered her face with both hands and sobbed. “That woman is so much older than Mo Chi. Besides seducing Mo Chi, what other skills does she have? She is not worthy of Mo Chi at all.”
"You...you..." Old Bai was so angry he couldn't speak.
“I know medicine, I’m younger than her, and I’m healthier and can have children!” Bai Wan touched her face. “I’m good-looking too, how am I inferior to her?”
"You're crazy, crazy, I think you've gone mad!" Old Bai pressed his acupoints with his hands, afraid that he would die of anger.
"What's so great about knowing medicine? You're not Hua Tuo reincarnated. The Mo family is rich, surely they can find a good doctor? You're young and can have children, but what good is being young? There are plenty of women younger than you who can have children!"
"You think you're good-looking? I think you're overconfident and a bit shameless. The wife of Mo Chi is much prettier than you."
"Do you know that Madam Mo Chi's backer is the Qi family? If people find out that you tampered with her medicine, our Bai family clinic will be completely finished. The reputation passed down for generations will be ruined in your hands."
Old Bai became more and more agitated as he spoke, “For the next two months, you’re to stay home obediently. You’re not allowed to go anywhere, and you’re not allowed to touch your medicine, do you hear me?”
Bai Wan was finally afraid when she heard about the Qi family. She only knew that Mo Chi's former fiancée was the little princess of the Qi family. Knowing that she was no match for her, she hid her feelings for Mo Chi in her heart.
But last time, Mo Chi brought another woman with him. They were very intimate, and he even called her his wife. Her heart was moved again. If Chu Rou could become Mo Chi's woman, why couldn't she?
Hearing Mo Chi talk about how frequently the two slept together, she felt both itchy and jealous. Moreover, Mo Chi wanted this woman to have his child, so her defenses completely collapsed. She secretly switched the medicinal ingredients to make things worse for this woman and make it impossible for her to conceive again.
If this woman cannot have children, then she might have a chance. As long as she can stay by Mo Chi's side, she doesn't need any title or status.
"How could her backer be the Qi family? That's impossible!" Bai Wan asked, her voice lacking conviction.
"How is it impossible? She's the Qi family's adopted daughter. Do you think just anyone can marry into the Mo family?" Seeing that Bai Wan still didn't know the gravity of the situation, Old Master Bai pointed to the door and yelled, "Get back to your room right now!"
Bai Wan covered her face and ran away.
Old Bai picked up the prescription on the table with trembling hands. Luckily, he discovered it early. His granddaughter was really too carefree. If she wasn't properly disciplined, she would cause a big disaster sooner or later.
...
Qi Hang returned to the Qi family home early in the morning.
Hearing the noise, Qi Lin ran downstairs. When she saw Qi Hang, her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. "Brother, you're back!"
"Up so early?" Qi Hang asked with a smile.
“I’m going to bed early and waking up early now,” Qi Lin said, wrinkling her nose. “Brother, I heard you went to the Song family’s banquet with my sister yesterday. Why didn’t you take me with you?”
"Aren't you supposed to stay home with Mom?" Qi Hang glanced upstairs. "How's Mom doing lately?"
“Her emotions are not very stable,” Qi Lin said, her face falling. “Sometimes she’s very irritable and smashes a lot of things, and other times she becomes very sad and cries in my arms.”
"Without Dad, Mom might not be able to adjust well."
Qi Hang's face was expressionless. Of course, his mother was not used to it. The man she had relied on for the first half of her life had suddenly left. No normal person would be able to accept it, but who could she blame?
Qi Feiyao walked downstairs in a daze. When she saw Qi Hang standing in the living room at the top of the stairs, her eyes widened and she whispered, "Husband!"
Hearing the sound, Qi Hang turned around and looked upstairs. "Mom!"
Only then did Qi Feiyao realize it was Qi Hang. Tears streamed down her face as she rushed downstairs and threw herself into his arms. "Xiao Hang, you're finally back!"
Seeing Qi Feiyao cry, Qi Hang felt bad. He gently patted Qi Feiyao's back and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was too harsh with my words before."
Qi Feiyao shook her head, "Mom was wrong too. It's good that you're back. I thought you didn't want me as your mother anymore."
