Qiqi was indeed tired, and upon hearing this, she did not refute it, letting Madam Ji carry her to bed.
The depletion of her vital energy left her extremely exhausted, and she fell asleep almost immediately upon touching the pillow.
Madam Ji brushed aside the stray hairs damp with sweat from her forehead, tenderly touched her pale face, bent down and left a light kiss on her forehead, then tucked the blanket around her before getting up to clean the pills in the large pot.
There were two colors of pills in the large pot, one pink and one yellow.
The pink one smells like strawberry, and the yellow one smells like mango.
Mrs. Ji packed everything up separately, then carefully closed the door and left.
Downstairs, Ji Chengfeng was already busy with other things, leaving only Grandpa Ji and his wife sitting on the sofa.
Mr. Ji was holding a financial newspaper in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, reading financial news.
"How is Qiqi? Is she asleep?" Old Madam Ji asked gently when she saw her come downstairs.
Madam Ji handed over the medicine bottle in her hand, saying, "She just fell asleep. The little girl was busy making medicine for you after she went upstairs and she's exhausted."
Thinking of Qiqi's pale and weak appearance, a pang of heartache flashed across Madam Ji's eyes.
Seeing the large bottle of pills, Old Madam Ji's heart skipped a beat. "Is Qi Bao alright? Should we call the family doctor to come and check on her?"
"She looks a little pale, but Qibao says she's fine and just needs some rest. Let her sleep for a while. If she feels unwell, we can call the doctor later." Her little girl was fast asleep, and she really didn't want to disturb her.
Madam Ji nodded, agreeing with the statement.
He took the medicine bottle from Madam Ji, handed it to the maid to take back to the room and put it away, and then greeted Madam Ji, "You've been busy for most of the day, sit down and rest for a while. You and Qi Bao can stay at the old house tonight. I'll call Cheng Feng in a bit and ask him to go back and take care of the kids at home."
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Madam Ji said, sitting down next to Old Madam Ji. “Qiqi still needs to give acupuncture to Xiao Jiu and Xiao Su. She will have to go back after dinner.”
Considering Huo Yusen and Ji Jinsu's situation, Old Madam Ji didn't say much.
Qiqi slept until dark before waking up, and the good sleep made her feel much better.
I slid off the bed and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed to do my evening lessons.
During her evening prayers, she would release the female ghost from the red ribbon as usual to purify the malevolent energy within her.
In another two or three days, the malevolent energy on the female ghost will be almost completely purified, and she will be sent to be reincarnated.
I had just finished my evening class when the door to my room was pushed open.
With a "snap," soft light poured down from above, illuminating the bedroom.
"Mom." Qiqi turned around, saw the person standing at the door, and immediately called out sweetly.
Madam Ji bent down slightly, caught the little girl who was running towards her, and lifted her up with a little force.
"Qibao, are you hungry? Dinner is ready. Mommy will carry you downstairs to eat."
Qiqi's little tummy made a "gurgling" sound in response. She touched it a little shyly, blushing, and said, "Mom, let's go eat quickly. After we eat, we still need to go back for acupuncture for Brother Jiu and the others."
Madam Ji carried Qiqi downstairs. As soon as Old Madam Ji saw them come down, she immediately ordered the servants to start serving the dishes.
There were only four of them tonight: the elderly couple and themselves, but dinner was still served on a large table.
As I was eating, I heard a noise coming from the entrance hall.
The four people at the table turned their heads to look and saw the old man of the Ji family, Si Chengbei, come in, looking travel-worn and having changed his shoes.
Meeting the gaze of Old Madam Ji, he greeted, "Mom and Dad, Fifth Sister-in-law." As he walked over, he added, "I haven't eaten yet either, could you give me an extra bowl and chopsticks?"
He said this and sat down at the dining table.
The maid quickly brought over a bowl and chopsticks, and Ji Chengbei, without saying a word, picked up the chopsticks and began to wolf down his food.
He ate very quickly, devouring the food as if he hadn't eaten for three days.
Grandpa Ji frowned as he looked at him, while Grandma Ji looked distressed and couldn't help but ask, "Fourth son, how long has it been since you last ate? How come you're so hungry? Did your business trip not go well?"
The Ji Group has many subsidiaries. Apart from the group that Ji Chengfeng is in charge of, the other children of the Ji family are each independently in charge of a subsidiary company.
A few days ago, Ji Chengbei's company took on a big project and he went on a business trip to a neighboring city for nearly a week.
While eating, Ji Chengbei mumbled, "It's alright, everything went smoothly. Maybe the business class meals on the plane aren't as good as home-cooked meals, so I'm a little craving them."
"I see..." Old Madam Ji felt a strange feeling watching him stuff food into his mouth.
She knew her own child very well; he had never made a mistake in manners since he was a child.
There has never been a case of wolfing down food like this.
Old Madam Ji couldn't help but look at Qiqi questioningly, only to see Qiqi biting her chopsticks and staring thoughtfully at her fourth uncle. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Qi Bao, your fourth uncle..."
Qiqi put a chubby little finger to her lips to signal her grandmother to be quiet, and then quietly flicked a talisman towards Ji Chengbei's position.
The moment the talisman was pasted on Ji Chengbei's back, Ji Chengbei suddenly shuddered, and then his expression suddenly became blank.
He looked at the table full of meat and fish, and for some reason, he had just felt like he couldn't get enough to eat, but now he suddenly felt nauseous.
Ji Chengbei slammed his chopsticks on the table, covered his mouth, and rushed to the bathroom.
Old Madam Ji watched him run away with worry, "Qi Bao, your fourth uncle..."
"Don't worry, Grandma, Fourth Uncle is fine." Qiqi lowered her head and ate a chicken wing. "It must be that someone on the plane that Fourth Uncle was on was possessed by a hungry ghost. Fourth Uncle was tainted by the evil energy of the hungry ghost, which is why he couldn't control his urge to eat."
She had just put a talisman on her fourth uncle to remove the evil spirits from him, which is why he immediately regained consciousness.
However, he was affected by the evil energy of the starving ghost and ate a lot of food. After suddenly waking up, his body couldn't take it, which is why he felt nauseous. It's not a big problem.
Upon hearing Qiqi say that Ji Chengbei was alright, Old Madam Ji immediately felt relieved. "It's good that he's alright. Then Qibao, keep eating, eat more, don't let your fourth uncle affect your appetite."
"Mmm." Qiqi's appetite was not affected. After finishing the chicken wings, she started eating the chicken legs.
After finishing the chicken leg, I started eating the pig's trotter.
Showing off her muscular physique gave her immense satisfaction.
Ji Chengbei vomited in the bathroom for a full ten minutes before emerging looking pale and sickly.
Her steps were a little unsteady. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said weakly, "Mom and Dad, I'm not feeling well. I'll go back and rest first. Fifth sister-in-law, it's okay, you can stay at the old house with Xiao Qiqi tonight. I brought you some gifts from my business trip. They probably won't arrive until tomorrow. You can bring the others back with you then."
