Meng Zixin just looked at Xiaofu on the bed, "Let's talk about the Medicine Valley later. Now that I'm here, I won't leave."
Then he walked straight to the bed. Liuyun wanted to stop him but Lanyu stopped him. "Xiaofu, we can only take a gamble. We don't have any better way."
Meng Zixin took out a set of needles and spread them out beside the bed. The needles were made of neither gold nor silver, and looked like ice cones, translucent and without any impurities.
When Lan Yu saw the set of needles, she wanted to go up and grab them back immediately, but when she saw Xiao Fu, she clenched her fists and held back.
"Want it? Just wait a moment. Now that we have met the successor of Medicine Valley, it's time to return this Ice Soul Needle." Meng Zixin seemed to sense the movement behind her, and said with a cold snort while giving Xiaofu an acupuncture.
Xiao Hang stood beside Lan Yu, "Is that the Ice Soul Needle that has been lost in Medicine Valley for nearly twenty years?"
Lan Yu hummed, "When each Valley Master passed on the throne, they would pass on the Ice Soul Needles to the next Valley Master as a token of their loyalty. Eighteen years ago, on the day before the Valley Master passed on the throne, the Valley Master died from a deadly heart poison. The whereabouts of Meng Zixin and the Ice Soul Needles are unknown."
"Did she kill the Valley Master? And steal the Ice Soul Needle?"
Lan Yu clenched her fists even tighter. "Who else could it be if not her? She's a rare talent, but she's also vicious and cruel. The Heart Eater was her own doing."
"I don't care how you deal with your grudges. The only thing is that you can't disturb Qiu'er. Lanyu, don't embarrass me and Qiu'er, and don't be soft-hearted when you deserve it. Xing'er, don't let outsiders bully Lanyu." Ye Chen looked at Meng Zixin who was treating Xiaofu.
"Qiu'er should wake up. I'll go keep her company. Remember, Xiaofu is Qiu'er's sister. If she can't save Xiaofu, there's no point keeping her around. You know what to do." Ye Chen had met Meng Zixin in his past life. She was Fu Xia's woman. How could she be Xiaofu's mother in this life? There must be something he didn't know. Since she had come to him, he might as well investigate.
Everyone understood the obvious meaning. Meng Zixin just smiled contemptuously, but of course no one else saw it.
When Lan Yu heard Ye Chen's words, she knew that she was not alone in facing this perverted witch. She was moved and gained more confidence in clearing the gate of Medicine Valley.
Chen Qiu had already woken up. After giving birth yesterday, she fell asleep because she was too tired. She woke up once in the middle of the night. Ye Chen asked her to drink a bowl of medicine and then fell asleep again. She didn't expect to sleep for so long.
"Was that a sedative you gave me to drink last night?" Chen Qiu saw Ye Chen come in, and sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.
Ye Chen hurried over and put a pillow behind Chen Qiu. "Well, Lan Yu said you shouldn't use your Qi. Normally, you shouldn't move unless it's absolutely necessary. Besides, you're pregnant and your body is injured. Sleeping can help you recover faster. I asked her to add tranquilizers to the medicine she gave you to regulate your body, just to let you sleep a little longer."
Chen Qiu smiled, then took Ye Chen's hand, only to find that his hand was wrapped in gauze, "How did you get hurt? I was groggy yesterday, and after giving birth, I just wanted to sleep, so I didn't notice you were injured."
Ye Chen shook his head. "It was injured from the back. Of course you don't know. I'm fine. It's just a small cut. I've applied medicine and it's fine."
"Are you hungry? I asked someone to bring some food over. Grandma has moved in too, and she wants to come and see you. Is that okay?"
"Grandma is here too?"
"Xiaoqiu? Are you awake?" The old lady's voice came from outside the door.
"I'm awake, grandma, please come in." Chen Qiu sat up straight.
"Lean on me, grandma only hopes for your well-being and doesn't care about these things." Ye Chen pressed Chen Qiu against the pillow again.
"Xiao Qiu, I've asked someone to bring you some porridge. After you eat the porridge, you should take the medicine. You have to take good care of yourself during the confinement period. You can't harm your body. Don't worry, child, I will take care of you. You just need to take care of yourself." Madam Xiao kept talking as soon as she came in, with a smile in her eyes, and then she sat down beside Shen Qiu's bed.
"Yes, grandma, I will take good care of you. Did you come here with Mingyue just now? I heard Mingyue's voice." Chen Qiu looked at the door and asked Madam Xiao.
"Yes, Black Hawk went back yesterday and told the news that you were going to give birth. She couldn't sit still anymore, so she followed her here. She went to bring you porridge and medicine." Madam Xiao tucked the quilt around Chen Qiu.
"Husband, I want to see the child. I remember I saw him before going to bed yesterday and he was so ugly. Let me see if he looks good at all now." Chen Qiu pulled Ye Chen's sleeve and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was amused by Chen Qiu's expression. He thought his own child was ugly? It seemed that he also thought it was too small.
Ye Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll ask the wet nurse to bring the baby over, you talk to grandma." After saying that, Ye Chen went out.
When Ye Chen came out, Lan Yu seemed to be talking to Meng Zixin, and Lan Yu looked very angry.
Xiaofu's voice came from inside, "Liuyun, I'm scared." This was the first time Ye Chen heard Xiaofu say he was scared, whether in the previous life or this life.
Ye Chen sent the wet nurse to Chen Qiu's room and went to Xiaofu again. The set of Ice Soul Needles was already in Lan Yu's hand. Meng Zixin looked at Xiaofu who was nestled in Liuyun's arms on the bed. There was hatred and heartache in her eyes, as well as some helplessness of seeing a disappointing child.
Ye Chen did not intervene, he just sat down on the chair and drank the tea on the table.
Everyone in the room just looked at him without saying anything. "You guys continue. I'm just looking for a place to sit. Don't bother with me."
Ye Chen came here just to listen. If his Qiu'er knew something, he could tell her. Otherwise, he would know nothing about anything and Qiu'er would have to ask others, and his position in Qiu'er's heart would decline.
Meng Zixin looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Are you really not going to interfere?"
Ye Chen glanced at Meng Zixin and said, "As long as it doesn't involve Xiaofu, I won't care. Xiaofu is my wife's sister. I can't ignore someone my wife cares about."
Meng Zixin snorted coldly, "Hypocrisy, don't think you left Jiajia here for any reason. She is the only successful Tiewa so far. Aren't you trying to find the reason for her success?"
Everyone thought that Xiaofu's body was invulnerable to swords and guns, and the name was really appropriate. But this was Xiaofu's mother. What kind of person was she who could be so cruel as to make her own daughter like this?
"We are not as crazy as you, at least in Xiaofu's eyes, right?" Ye Chen stood up and walked to Xiaofu, extending his hand to him. Xiaofu handed his hand to Ye Chen and called out, "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"
Ye Chen patted Xiaofu's head and said, "Xiaofu, get well soon. Your nephew is already born. You can play with him when you get better."
Then Ye Chen turned around and said to Meng Zixin, "Come and try, will your Jia Jia go with you?"
