The windows and doors in the house were open, but the slightly bitter smell of herbs lingered for a long time.
Mo Qin deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, pretended to think for two seconds, and said seriously:
"Are you going to take me in as your sister? Come to think of it, it would be nice to have a brother like you."
"Brother?"
Yu Jing turned the two words around in his mouth, and when he spit them out, they took on a different color.
My dear brother, he can still consider it.
"I don't need...a sister like this."
Of course, my plan to be called brother did not come true.
However, the name I mentioned casually at first made me want to hear it in person.
Mo Qin stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and prepared to go for a walk outside.
Before she could leave the room, she was stopped by Yu Jing.
He gently placed one hand on Mo Qin's shoulder and pulled her back with a little force.
"Are you so confident that you told me everything about your plan to poison him?"
Mo Qin was forced to take two steps back by him.
"What are you worried about?"
The matter-of-fact tone of this sentence made Yu Jing feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
He analyzed seriously, with a hint of confusion at times.
"Xiao Haoyang is the young master of the First Sword Manor. If I could get a favor from him, it would be an opportunity that a nobody like me could only dream of."
Nobody?
He is about the same age as Xiao Haoyang and has higher fighting skills than him, but no one in the martial arts world has heard of him.
And now he has hidden his identity and sneaked into Luoxia Villa, so he is probably not a good person.
His attitude towards Xiao Haoyang was indifferent, or even not very good.
How could he possibly tell on others?
Mo Qin's expression remained unchanged. She was not frightened at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
"Then go ahead."
Poisoning is not easy.
If this one doesn’t work, try another one. There’s always one that will work.
Yu Jing: “…”
Can't you just continue to say nice things to coax him?
He loosened his grip on Mo Qin and smiled harmlessly.
"How could that be? I only help you."
In order to show his sincerity, he even started to make suggestions.
"Actually, I have a better and more convenient way. Wouldn't it be faster to just do it directly?"
Just... do it?
Well said, don’t say it next time.
Mo Qin walked out of the yard, and Yu Jing followed her out, still talking about various convenient methods that would solve the problem once and for all.
From time to time, you can see some unfamiliar faces outside, but fortunately no one listens carefully to what the two are talking about.
-
Somewhere in the villa, Su Yunruo was chatting with a few women. She sat next to Xiao's mother, and the two seemed to be very close.
"Oh, look at your sweet little mouth. I wish I had a daughter like you."
Someone joked.
"I don't have a daughter, but I can have a daughter-in-law~"
"Hahaha, that's right. Master Su's only daughter is the one many people would marry."
Su Yunruo lowered her head shyly.
Seeing her like this, Xiao's mother understood everything and patted Su Yunruo's little hand.
"As for the matter of marrying a wife, it depends on what Haoyang thinks. If he likes her, we will naturally not stop him."
She didn't mention the engagement at all, which shows her attitude towards Mo Qin.
Since neither party likes it, why not give it to her?
Su Yunruo had already made up her mind about something.
Ru's mother, who was sitting on the other side, had no idea what this meant.
I'm not saying anything final, but I'm telling those who have ideas that you still have a chance.
At this time, Pan Xiaowan came over.
Mother Xiao had a loving smile on her face and extended her hand towards Pan Xiaowan.
"Xiao Wan, come here."
Everyone looked at the girl curiously, waiting for Xiao's mother to introduce her.
She pulled Pan Xiaowan to sit beside her and said with a smile:
"This is the daughter of a friend of Lao Xiao. She's a miserable child, having lost both her parents. Lao Xiao and I plan to adopt her as our own."
Everyone was surprised at first, and then began to congratulate.
Su Yunruo's good mood was largely ruined.
Adopt her as your daughter?!
The news quickly spread among Zhuangzi.
Pan Xiaowan's status suddenly improved a lot, and she was no longer an unwanted orphan.
Su Yunruo originally wanted to bully Pan Xiaowan, but she found that the Xiao family was very protective of the area and she couldn't hurt Pan Xiaowan at all.
This made her very angry, but soon another thing caught her great attention.
Mo Qin began to prepare the prescription she had seen in the carriage that day!
Su Yunruo no longer had the heart to go out and have fun, but instead stayed in Mo Qin's house to learn from her.
Of course, her mouth was not idle either.
He complained a lot.
"Pan Xiaowan is so lucky! How did she catch the eye of Manor Master Xiao and be adopted as his daughter?"
"Sister, don't you think it's strange?"
Mo Qin's hands kept moving, his eyelashes drooping as he handled the medicinal herbs in his hands.
"Perhaps Miss Pan has some extraordinary qualities?"
Could it be that the reason why Master Xiao adopted her as his adopted daughter was related to the pattern on Pan Xiaowan's back?
Su Yunruo scoffed at this statement:
"Tsk, what's so special about her!"
Seeing that Mo Qin didn't seem very interested, Su Yunruo didn't continue talking about this matter, but stared at her movements intently.
"Senior Sister, is this prescription real?"
Mo Qin performed each step carefully and slowly.
Upon hearing this question, Mo Qin showed his blind worship of medical books vividly.
"This book is a rare and precious copy in the library. Could it be a fake?"
