"You look much better than before, ma'am. It's my fault that I didn't realize that you were not sick, but poisoned..." The butler lowered his head in self-blame. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if Ruan Xi hadn't been there. Such consequences were definitely not something he could bear.
"Yongde, it's not your fault. I was careless. I didn't expect that there was such a vicious person hiding in my family who wanted to take my life directly..." The old lady felt emotional and sad. She always knew that these people in the family were not at peace, but she didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
Indeed, she is old...
"Now, I want to accept my old age, and I don't know to whom I should hand the Ruan family over so as not to disgrace his life's work..." Thinking of her husband who passed away many years ago, the old lady was full of sadness, and her whole spirit seemed to be exhausted.
"Madam..." The housekeeper was about to say something when Ruan Xi came over at this time, and there was even a smile on her face, which surprised the old lady and the housekeeper. This surprise was written clearly on their faces.
Seeing this, Ruan Xi's smile deepened. He walked briskly to the old lady's side and held her arm. "Grandma, you're not old. Considering the average age of 170, you're still young. Besides, your successor still needs your guidance. You can't give up so easily."
The old lady had always intended her daughter to be the next head of the family, but now, she was completely blinded by love and almost insulated from the word "reason".
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "Alas..."
"Grandma, don't sigh. My aunt's temperament has changed drastically, not because she is blinded by love. Her situation is probably similar to yours." Ruan Xi didn't know Ruan Huaqing's physical condition, but Ruan Xi could clearly feel that the current Ruan Huaqing was almost completely different from the Ruan Huaqing in the original owner's memory. How could a person's temperament change drastically for no reason?
Considering the old lady's situation, Ruan Xi didn't have to think deeply and had already guessed the answer.
The mastermind behind this dared to poison the old lady, so what was Ruan Huaqing?
"Xiao Xi, what you mean is..." The old lady immediately grasped the key point and excitedly grabbed Ruan Xi's wrist, "Your aunt...was poisoned like me? Do you know who poisoned her?"
Ruan Xi has said so much. If the old lady still can't appreciate it, then all her years as the head of the Ruan family will be in vain.
"Grandma, you actually have the answer in your heart, right?" Ruan Xi smiled obediently, the light in her eyes was very clear, without a trace of shadow.
The old lady was dejected for a moment, but quickly cheered up. She let go of Ruan Xi's wrist and gently patted the back of his hand a few times. "We need to think about this matter carefully. If we want to take action, we have to catch all the bad apples at once."
This was exactly the effect Ruan Xi wanted, and his smile immediately became brighter. He didn't want to play the game of house fighting at all. Obviously, the old lady was more suitable to handle this matter, and he just needed to assist from the side.
For example, helping his aunt detoxify.
Well, this is called everyone doing his or her job, which is perfect.
"Grandmother, I only enjoy medicine, not fighting. I'll leave the household affairs to you... and the housekeeper. I'll just focus on healing and saving lives. Don't worry, I can definitely cure the poison in Auntie's body. Just ask the housekeeper to get me some of her blood. I need to test what poison she's been poisoned with so I can prepare an antidote."
Ruan Xi said it as a matter of course, like an unscrupulous young man who was shirking responsibility, which made the old lady and the housekeeper speechless for a moment. After a long silence, they all laughed out loud.
"That's it, then."
