The old man looked at Jian Yixue and asked, "Have we been poisoned?"
Jian Yixue did not hide anything and nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, if it weren't for Old Master Cheng's timely discovery, I'm afraid even if I came, it would have been useless."
Upon hearing this, the old man and woman's expressions immediately turned quite grim.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue suddenly understood, but instead of saying it outright, she asked, "Have Grandpa and Grandma eaten anything of unknown origin these past few days?"
The old man fell silent upon hearing this.
But the old lady immediately understood and looked at Jian Yixue, saying, "Well, your second uncle brought us some tonics when he came back a few days ago. We accepted them, and that night I asked Su Hui to cook some for us."
Upon hearing this, Su Hui quickly said, "Young Miss, Madam, I absolutely did not poison you."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Dongfang said, "I wasn't talking about you. Get up."
Su Hui was finally relieved.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue asked, "Does Grandma suspect there's something wrong with those supplements?"
The old lady nodded without hesitation.
"Where is it? Let me see."
The old lady looked at Su Hui and said, "Bring over what we ate that night."
Su Hui nodded, and soon took out some tonics from the side and handed them to Jian Yixue.
Jian Yixue took it and smelled it, her brows furrowing instantly. "If I'm not mistaken, this must contain a large amount of alkaloids. An overdose can lead to poisoning, and 2 to 10 mg can be fatal. Presumably, the other party increased the dosage to ensure absolute safety."
Upon hearing this, the two elders' faces immediately turned extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue understood what had happened. The two elders probably knew who had done it, but she didn't want to say anything more.
Suddenly, a good candidate came to mind, and she immediately said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I want you to meet someone, someone you've been thinking about day and night."
Upon hearing this, the two elders from the East were somewhat puzzled. Suddenly, they realized something, and their eyes were filled with hope, but they still couldn't believe that it would turn out the way they imagined.
Jian Yixue turned to look at the doorway and said, "You can come in now."
In fact, Dongfang Tinglan had been waiting at the door for a long time. As she listened to the voices around her and the voices in her memory overlapped, tears streamed down her face.
I increasingly feel that I was so immature back then, choosing not to go home for the sake of so-called dignity, which was a huge mistake.
Seeing his beloved in such pain, Gong Beize felt a pang of sadness.
He knew that the reason his wife was so sad was because of him; otherwise, she would have always been a precious treasure, living a happy and carefree life.
Gong Beize whispered behind her, "Go inside, Lan'er. Your parents must miss you terribly."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan nodded, wiped away her tears, and then stepped inside.
The two elderly people on the bed had been eagerly waiting for a long time. When the figure they had longed for for so many years finally appeared in their eyes, their eyes immediately welled up with tears.
The old lady spoke first, "Lan'er, is that you?"
The old man didn't speak, but his moist eyes betrayed him.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan couldn't help but shed tears and quickly walked to the bedside.
Jian Yixue stood up and gave up her seat.
With tears streaming down her face, Dongfang Tinglan said, "Mom and Dad, it's me."
"It is your daughter who has been unfilial for so many years. Your daughter has never been filial to you."
The old lady said with tears in her eyes, "As long as you can come back, that's all that matters, silly child."
Seeing this, the old man also spoke up, "Your mother is right. Our only wish all these years has been to see you come back in our lifetime. It seems that God has been kind to us and didn't let me leave with regrets."
The old lady slapped the old man and said with displeasure, "What are you saying? On such a fine day."
The old man immediately realized he was being overly sentimental, and then said, "It's my fault, it's my fault."
Seeing how good the relationship was between the two, Dongfang Tinglan felt less sad, but when she thought of what the old man had said, she couldn't help but feel heartache.
Su Hui, who was standing to the side, was already moved to tears.
Others may not know how the old lady and the old man have been all these years, but as the old lady's personal maid, she knows very well how deep the old lady's longing has been all these years. She saw that the light in the old lady's room was on almost all night many nights.
Fortunately, Heaven did not let the old lady suffer all these hardships in vain. The current happy ending is truly a blessing from Heaven.
Dongfang Tinglan and the two elders embraced and wept for a long time, and Jian Yixue, who was standing to the side, was also moved to tears by this reunion.
Ye Mohan reached out and hugged Jian Yixue. "Don't cry. Today is a good day. This is a reunion that everyone has been looking forward to. It's a good thing."
Jane Yixue: "I know. I'm so happy to see you all together again; these are tears of joy."
Hearing this, Ye Mohan felt somewhat helpless and could only hold Jian Yixue tightly.
After a long time, Dongfang Tinglan finally released all the emotions that had been building up for so long.
Suddenly remembering what Jian Yixue had said before she came in, her face turned cold and she said, "Mom and Dad, don't you know very well that the reason you were poisoned was because of the tonics that Second Brother sent?"
Upon hearing this, the old man fell silent.
The old lady was furious when she saw the old man, but when she saw her daughter return, she decided not to tolerate it any longer.
The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, Su Hui usually makes all our food herself, instead of taking it from the main kitchen. We don't eat anything else either. The only external thing we've received during this time is the tonic that the second son gave us. It just so happens that we were eating the tonic when the accident happened."
Dongfang Tinglan's face immediately turned even colder. "Dad, Mom, leave this matter to me. Now that I'm back, I will make sure you suffer no more harm."
“Even if he is my second brother, if he has really done something to wrong you, I will never let him off the hook.”
Upon hearing this, the old man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old lady beside him.
Finally, the old lady spoke up, "Alright, let Lan'er handle this matter."
Suddenly, the old lady spotted Gong Beize standing not far away, her brows furrowed, and she asked, "And who is this?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to what the old lady was saying, and they all looked in the direction she was looking.
When Dongfang Tinglan saw that her mother was talking about Gong Beize, she immediately looked a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to explain his identity, Gong Beize stepped forward and introduced himself.
"Greetings, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. I am Gong Beize, and Lan'er is my beloved. I..."
"What!" the old lady exclaimed immediately, "You're that heartless man! The one who's caused my daughter to not come back all these years?"
