Chapter 268: Medicine



When Ling Ju went to Yan's house again the next day, she felt a murderous atmosphere as soon as she entered the door.

A dozen men in black stood in the living room, a dense mass of darkness. Each of them had a serious expression, emitting a murderous aura.

Yan Jinqun and his wife Yan Gaojian and Zhao Qi sat on the sofa, looking coldly at all the nannies, security guards and drivers in the house.

Seeing so many people in black standing here, anyone who sees them would wonder if they have done something wrong.

Ling Ju also saw Dashan and the monkey from afar, guarding the door of Yan Jintang's room.

Although she had only seen her in photos, she hadn't expected him to be much stronger in person, though his face was rather ordinary. Dashan and Monkey had obviously noticed her as well and nodded.

It seems that those who can appear in this room are all confidants of the Yan family.

Yan Gaojian greeted the three of them, and Zhao Qi also stood up to greet Ling Ju, "Miss Shiming Ling, Song Qi, you are here."

Li Shiming put down the medicine box, looked around, exchanged a look with Yan Jinqun, and said, pretending to know nothing, "There are so many people here today."

Yan Jinqun blinked and said, "Yes, young man, you have strong yang energy, come and get rid of the turbid qi."

Li Shiming laughed a few times and said, "Very good, very good. I'll go in and see Lao Wu first."

Yan Jintang's room was very quiet. He was still lying on the bed with no expression and no sound. Ling Ju felt that he was like a vegetable.

He couldn't speak or move. But at least Yan Jintang didn't smell, and the room was clean.

Li Shiming first gave him a simple check, then motioned Ling Ju to look at the red energy. Ling Ju found that the red energy was still moving slowly and gathered at the soles of his feet.

Li Shiming took out a needle and inserted it into the acupuncture points on the instep and sole of the foot.

He took out another prescription from the medicine box and said, "Juzi, you have to prepare this yourself. Don't let anyone else get involved."

Ling Ju nodded, "Song Qi, you stay here and help Uncle Li. I'll go boil the medicine."

After she greeted Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi took her to the kitchen.

"Ms. Ling, these tableware are new and were replaced this morning. You can use them all."

Ling Ju nodded. She wondered if Yan Jinqun had also told Yan's parents about Yan Jintang's poisoning.

After opening the medicine bag given by Li Shiming, she was shocked to find that it was full of snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes and other things.

Zhao Qi saw her scream and hurried over, "What's wrong, Miss Ling?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just scared by the herbs in here."

Zhao Qi looked at the medicine bag in her hand, which really contained all five poisons. "It's a bit scary, but you can do it for me. I'm not afraid of these."

Ling Ju shook her head. "It's okay. I'll do it."

"You don't have to call me Miss Ling from now on. Just call me Orange or Xiao Ling."

Zhao Qi readily agreed, "Okay, I also think Miss Ling is a bit awkward. I've heard our eldest and fifth sons call you Orange before, and I think it's a cute and nice name. Your parents are really good at naming."

"Thank you. My parents will be very happy to hear this."

Ling Ju connected the water, washed the herbs first, and then began to decoct the medicine.

After the water boiled and turned to low heat, she found that Zhao Qi was still watching her.

She touched her face, but there was nothing there.

Zhao Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Orange. Seeing you reminded me of my daughter. You and my daughter are somewhat similar. Not in appearance, but in temperament. I'm really sorry."

Ling Ju suddenly felt depressed. She could understand Zhao Qi's feelings. To be honest, she felt that Yan Gaojian and Zhao Qi were actually quite miserable.

Although they seem to be from a wealthy family, three of their five children have passed away, and one is in poor health and is struggling on the verge of death. It is really rare for Zhao Qi to remain calm.

After interacting with them for the past few days, she could feel that the Yan couple were reasonable and easy to get along with.

An idea came to her mind, and she walked to Zhao Qi and said, "If you want, you can tell me about your daughter."

Zhao Qi looked at her, his eyes showing complicated emotions, but mostly touched. "Juzi, you are a good child. It is a blessing for my fifth son to know you."

Then he glanced at the living room again and lowered his voice, "You saw what happened today. The house was in chaos when Lao Wu fell. After a while, when everything is over, I will tell you everything. I really have a lot of things buried in my heart for many years, but I have never found a close friend to confide in. But when I saw you, I felt like telling you everything. Maybe we are destined to be together."

Zhao Qi gently held Ling Ju's hand. He was seventy years old, and his fingertips were slightly cold and wrinkled. Perhaps because he was afraid that Ling Ju didn't want to be touched, Zhao Qi only held it for a moment and then took his hand away.

Ling Ju shook his hand back, "You can talk anytime you want."

"But why are there so many people here today?"

Zhao Qi replied in a low voice, "The boss called the person here, and his father and I don't know why. No matter how much we ask, he won't say anything, and his father and I are too lazy to care."

Only then did Ling Ju realize that Yan Jinqun had not told his parents about Yan Jintang's poisoning.

I guess he was afraid that the old couple would worry.

If the old couple fell ill again, Yan Jinqun would be the only one left in the Yan family. One can imagine how much pressure the family would be under. If someone else took advantage of the situation, the Yan family would be in real danger.

Yan Jinqun sat in the living room without saying a word, looking at the driver and nanny at home. The driver and nanny also looked at Yan Jinqun in confusion.

They were guessing what was going on. Why did Yan Jinqun force them to stay here and not move?

After she finished boiling the medicine, she brought it back to Yan Jintang's room and found that Li Shiming had already bled Yan Jintang.
