Sheng Shijing rarely came over, and Sheng Shaoqiong didn't want to talk about these meaningless things, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why are you back today?"
Sheng Shijing hummed, and replied, "I was sending a friend home. Since it's nearby, I came back to visit."
friend?
Sheng Shaoqiong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Girlfriend?"
"No..." Sheng Shijing said, then suddenly paused, thought for a moment, and replied again: "Not yet."
Even Sheng Shaoqiong, who hadn't experienced any emotional fluctuations in years, couldn't help but show surprise. He sat up straighter and looked at him: "Whose girl is this?"
The tips of Sheng Shijing's ears turned red. He cleared his throat and said, "I'll tell you later."
It was the first time that Sheng Shaoqiong saw him like this, and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.
As he lay back down, he said lazily, "He hasn't caught up with me yet. Okay, I'll catch up with him and bring him back to meet my aunt."
"But..." Sheng Shaoqiong's eyes turned slightly, and his smile became tired. He said, "But you have to hurry up. My aunt is old and can't wait too long."
Sheng Shijing's brows immediately furrowed.
He carefully observed her expression, but saw that the darkness between her eyebrows became darker, and his heart skipped a beat.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Then let's do it tomorrow."
Sheng Shaoqiong was stunned and didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
Sheng Shijing took the initiative to say: "She is a good doctor, please ask her to come and see my aunt when the time comes."
Sheng Shaoqiong was stunned again and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words stopped at his lips.
After thinking about it, he finally agreed: "Okay, you make an appointment and ask someone to tell my aunt before you come."
She knew her own body well. She had already been on the verge of collapse when she learned of the man's death. She was only able to hold on until now because of that breath.
Now, more than 20 years have passed, and there is still no news from the person I am waiting for, and the person I want to find is nowhere to be found. That feeling has almost dissipated.
The only ones she couldn't let go of were her eldest brother and her youngest nephew.
It would be better to see someone sooner so that she can leave with more peace of mind.
Sheng Shijing knew what she was thinking, but he didn't want to explain any further. He said a few more words, tucked the corner of her quilt, and left.

It was getting late, so Sheng Shijing waited until the next morning to call Xie Xihe.
After briefly explaining the situation, he said, "You'll need to come over to see the details. Do you have time today?"
Today was Friday, but the Dawn Light training time had always been arranged by the students themselves, so it was very flexible. Therefore, Xie Xihe said without much thought: "Yes, in an hour, after I finish breakfast..."
He had said half of it when he suddenly stopped.
Xie Xihe frowned slightly when he heard the noisy sounds coming from outside the door.
After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "Something urgent happened at home. I'll call you when I'm done."
He hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Sheng Shijing on the other end of the phone couldn't help but frown slightly, thought for a moment, and then dialed again.
Xie Xihe on this side had already stood up and walked outside, and saw several dark heads at the door at a glance.
She glanced over and turned her gaze to the newly hired servant, Mrs. Zheng, and asked with a cold expression, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Zheng was a newly hired maid who took over the job after Xue Wanyu was sent away the day before yesterday, and Mrs. Wang, who was bribed by her, was also driven away. She was not familiar with the people and things in the Xie family.
Seeing Xie Xihe's cold expression, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She stammered, "I... I don't understand what's going on. They said some medicine, that their daughter took our medicine and fell into a coma. They want an explanation... and want to see the master..."
Xie Xihe didn't quite understand at first, but when he heard the other party introduce himself as Zhong, he understood what was going on.
His brows knitted fiercely, and he glanced at the other people with sullen faces, and said two words in an extremely cold tone: "Shut up."
Of course, the people of the Zhong family were unwilling, but for some reason, they couldn't help but feel a jump in their hearts when they glanced at the girl's annoyed face, and finally shut up obediently.
But he didn't leave.
The four of them exchanged glances, and finally one of the men with a long face spoke as a representative, saying, "Miss Xie, right? We are here to look for your father. Please let us in so we can help explain the situation."
Xie Xihe was straightforward: "What happened to Zhong Yuxiu? Is there something wrong with that pill?"
The four of them didn't expect that she actually knew this and were a little surprised.
But when I came to my senses, I felt relieved.
It’s good to know this, so they don’t have to be considerate and hesitate to speak up.
So he said directly: "Before the patriarch arrived, the family invited Patriarch Luo and Young Patriarch Luo. With the joint efforts of the two, the young lady's condition was barely stabilized."
"Later, the master came home and brought back a simplified version of the Panacea Elixir, which was said to have been made by Mr. Xie based on the Panacea Elixir. He wanted to give it to the young lady."
"Because the elixir was provided by Mr. Xie, and our master trusted him very much, no one thought too much and allowed the master to feed the simplified version of the universal elixir to the young lady."
"Who would have thought that the young lady would be critically ill again."
Xie Xihe listened quietly to the other party's explanation of the whole process, and only then did he raise his eyes and ask, "So, you concluded that there was something wrong with the pill?"
The other party didn't expect that she would focus on this question first. He was stunned at first, then when he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't it?"
