“They want everything back,” Bai Nuo stated succinctly, outlining Huang Wenbai and his group’s conditions. “I’ve already agreed to them!” Following this, Bai Nuo relayed Qian Peilan’s words and her own speculations.
What they needed to guard against wasn't Qian Peilan's family, but someone watching them from some unknown corner, someone who could stab them in the back at any moment. This person was their main concern; only by finding and eliminating him could their family have a good life.
Therefore, Bai Nuo agreed to Qian Peilan's conditions without hesitation, not only for the half antidote.
Hu Mingmei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "We can't just agree to them like that."
"Hmm..." The wontons were cooked. Bai Nuo scooped them out and placed them in a large bowl of bone broth, sprinkling them with chopped green onions. The lush green onions looked very appetizing.
"I'll have Doctor Sun come here first, and then we'll deal with this matter." Bai Nuo softly echoed Hu Mingmei's words. Hu Mingmei and she shared the same idea: if others poisoned them, they would poison Huang Wenbai and the others in return, and use them for their own purposes.
The people behind this don't want Hu Mingmei's life. They're just waiting here. Come and take it!
"I'll go myself!" Hu Mingmei simply replied with four words.
To Bai Nuo, those four words carried the stench of bloodshed. "I'll go!"
Huang Wenbai and Huang Haichuan are, after all, Hu Mingmei's blood relatives, especially Huang Wenbai, who is also Hu Mingmei's grandfather. Bai Nuo was really afraid that Hu Mingmei would have a psychological burden after doing such a thing.
But she's different.
She had already laid a hand on Qian Peilan, and Huang Wenbai and Huang Haichuan already knew who she was. Just now, seeing Qian Peilan's bloodied appearance, they cursed her as a vicious woman. Since they thought she was a vicious woman, then she didn't mind going all the way.
Let this be considered a way to make up for all the suffering Hu Mingmei has endured over the years.
To everyone's surprise, Hu Mingmei shook her head. Bai Nuo looked at her with great confusion. Hu Mingmei then explained the reason, "I have a feeling that the deaths of my grandmother and my parents back then were related to them. I might as well take this opportunity to find out if it's true or not."
Although he was just a child when his grandmother and parents passed away, and seemed to understand many things, he vaguely knew what had happened. Before his grandmother died, the head female official who served her fell into the water and drowned for no apparent reason. Then, one by one, people around his grandmother met with misfortune. In the end, only his parents were left by his grandmother's bedside. A few years later, his parents also suffered the same fate.
At that time, Qian Peilan was already living in their household as Huang Wenbai's concubine, and had been there for many years. Grandma was a princess, and Huang Wenbai, as her husband, was not allowed to take a concubine.
Moreover, Huang Haichuan's age was not much different from his father's. His grandmother gave birth to his father in the third year after their marriage, which means that Huang Wenbo had already taken a concubine a few years after his marriage.
How could Grandma tolerate such a thing happening to her? But after thinking about it for a long time, he never expected that Grandma would make a fuss once and then just accept it.
This is not normal.
Bai Nuo had no choice but to let him go.
After finishing the wontons, Bai Nuo asked Granny Wang to fetch Doctor Sun. Doctor Sun, seeing that Hu Mingmei had regained consciousness, was still somewhat surprised by Hu Mingmei's complexion.
That surprise lasted only a moment before it turned into understanding.
Doctor Sun concealed his expression well; whether it was fleeting or sudden, it quickly vanished without a trace, and he calmed down. However, no matter how well Doctor Sun hid it, Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei still managed to catch it.
Seeing his expression, Hu Mingmei smiled and said, "Dr. Sun, just say what you have to say. My wife and I can handle it!"
Dr. Sun sighed softly. Hu Mingmei was definitely the most open-minded patient he had ever seen. Whether it was the best or the worst outcome, Hu Mingmei could bear it. His calm and composed demeanor often made Dr. Sun feel that the person who was sick was not Hu Mingmei, but someone else.
However, he had known Hu Mingmei for many years and knew her health well, which is why he said that Hu Mingmei was the most open-minded person he had ever met. "Let me take your pulse first!"
Doctor Sun then sat down opposite Hu Mingmei. Hu Mingmei extended her hand to him, and Doctor Sun began to carefully feel Hu Mingmei's pulse.
This feeling was felt in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Hu Mingmei and Bai Nuo didn't urge him. They waited for as long as Doctor Sun had been working on it.
When Doctor Sun returned to his position, Bai Nuo couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor Sun, how is it?"
Instead of answering, Doctor Sun asked, "Second Master, how are you feeling? Don't you feel full of energy, as if you've never felt so good before?"
Following Dr. Sun's words, Hu Mingmei moved her body and carefully felt her own physical condition before nodding. "Indeed, after taking that half of the antidote, I feel better than I have ever felt before. I even feel that I am now much healthier than the average person."
"Doctor Sun, isn't it a good thing for my husband to die like this?" Bai Nuo was a little confused. What did Doctor Sun mean by this?
"That's the problem!" Doctor Sun stood up and paced back and forth. "In fact, the poison in Second Master's body has not been cured; in fact, it's even more serious than before."
