After a long while, the baby left Jian Yixue's embrace, picked up the watering can, and went to continue watering the plants.
Jian Yixue looked at the herbs that had grown to over ten centimeters in length and was somewhat surprised by the growth rate of the space. At this rate, this batch of herbs should be ready for harvest soon.
"Sweetie, I'm going to read a book now. I'll have to leave the herb-related matters to you. If I don't come out in five hours, come and wake me up."
"Okay, Master!" the adorable baby replied happily.
As Jian Yixue watched a little child darting around in the grass, the corners of her mouth gradually turned up, and a gentle, tender smile appeared on her face.
Then he got up and went to his study to study medical books.
——
Several days passed in this orderly fashion.
The old man has been detoxified for two days now, and he is much healthier. Even his previously lifeless face has regained some color, and he is slowly recovering his health.
Meanwhile, Jian Yixue's plan was proceeding as scheduled, perhaps this scene had spurred on the people behind the scenes.
That evening, after dinner, Jian Yixue prepared to go to her space to continue her research. Recently, she had been able to go into her space for several hours every night, which was equivalent to studying medical books for a month or so, and this had greatly improved her medical skills.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that there was an acupuncture technique in the space medicine that was particularly suitable for the old man and should have a miraculous effect on his recovery, so he turned around and headed to the old man's room.
When they arrived near the old man's room, Jian Yixue saw that all the lights in the old man's room were off.
I couldn't help but wonder, why are they asleep at this hour?
When did the old man start going to bed so early?
She had been living in the old house for more than half a month, and she had never seen the old man turn off the lights and go to bed so early before.
What happened today?
Suddenly hearing the sound of something clattering coming from inside the room, Jian Yixue suddenly realized something, her brows furrowed, and she slowed her pace, cautiously approaching the door.
A low, unfriendly voice came from inside the room.
"You're incredibly lucky. So many poisons couldn't kill you. Someone told me you looked much better lately, unlike when you were supposed to be dying, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see you in person, it seems I was indeed careless. I never expected you to have such a skilled doctor by your side, someone who can even cure such a top-ranked 'deadly' poison on the international stage."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue knew that this was the person who had poisoned the body. Just as she was about to go in and apprehend the person, she heard the old man's voice.
"You hate me that much?"
"I hate you! I wish I could tear your tendons and bones out, I wish you were dead. You've lived for so many years, aren't you satisfied? If it weren't for her desperate pleas before she died, do you think I would have let you roam freely for so many years!"
Jian Yixue's first reaction was—they know each other, and they even have a romantic relationship?
There was silence inside for a long time, and no one spoke.
"Ji Wen, I'm so sorry about what happened to her. I broke my promise and failed to protect her."
"Enough! Can your apology bring her back to life? I shouldn't have let go in the first place. In the end, you caused her death. It's all your fault. You are the culprit who killed her."
The man was furiously berating the old man.
"Take my life if you want. I have no regrets now, and I can go and apologize to her in person!" The old man's voice came, filled with sadness and relief.
"Do you deserve her? How dare you show your face in front of her? You'd better go to hell and stay away from her."
"Hehe~ That's not up to you." The old man retorted inexplicably.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue felt that things would get out of control if she didn't go in soon, so she pushed the door open.
The man was furious at the old man's words, and just when he was at his wit's end, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Jian Yixue sized up the man in black before her. Through the dim moonlight, it wasn't hard to tell that this man had been a handsome man in his youth, with deep and defined features, and a pair of sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes full of anger as he glared at her with hostility.
Before Jian Yixue could speak, the old man said anxiously and worriedly, "Xue girl, what are you doing here? Get out. This is a private matter between him and me. You don't need to interfere."
The old man's voice was urgent, as if he was afraid that if he hesitated even a second, the man would make a move against Jian Yixue. How could she be a match for Ji Wen, who had been walking the edge of the underworld for many years?
He really didn't want Mo Han to experience the pain of losing his beloved wife that he had gone through before, since his grandson had finally met someone he liked and who liked him back.
Jian Yixue gave the old man a reassuring look, then looked at the man standing in front of her.
"Are you going to walk by yourself or do I have to do it for you?" Jian Yixue asked indifferently.
Her original plan was to find out who was behind it by catching their informant, and then let the old man deal with it himself or lock them up until Mo Han returned.
However, the old man clearly knows this person, so it's best for him to handle the affairs of the previous generation himself.
The man was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter, looking disdainfully at the petite Jian Yixue before him: "You think you can?"
Then he openly looked Jian Yixue up and down, his contempt evident in his eyes.
Jian Yixue's beautiful, cold phoenix eyes darkened, and her tone was as cold as ice.
"Nobody told you not to underestimate any of your opponents, or you'll be in big trouble."
After saying that, she immediately attacked the man.
The man looked at Jian Yixue, who was attacking him, and his contempt for her did not diminish in the slightest. He went straight to fight with Jian Yixue.
"Ji Wen, if you have a problem, come at me! Don't bully a defenseless girl. What you're doing is despicable!"
The old man, who was tied to a chair, was extremely anxious but could not move. He could only keep his eyes fixed on Jian Yixue, afraid that she would get hurt.
Jian Yixue secretly hoped that Butler Jin would discover the anomaly soon and bring people over to help her.
Little did the old man know that everyone around his room had been drugged, including the butler.
The old man shouted at the man in black, completely distorting the truth, without considering that Jian Yixue had struck first.
The man in black ignored the old man's words. Was the woman in front of him, whose every move was a killing blow, really the unarmed girl he had described?
After several rounds, the contempt in the man's eyes was replaced by seriousness.
If he's not careful, he might actually be defeated by this girl, and being defeated by a girl would be a great humiliation for him.
He couldn't care less about his hatred for the old man; his competitive spirit was ignited, and all he wanted was to defeat the woman in front of him.
"Again!"
The man turned around and started fighting with Jian Yixue again.
Jian Yixue frowned, speechless as she looked at the man in front of her who seemed ready to fight.
I only showed mercy because he knew the old man, and to give him face, I admitted defeat.
