Chapter 318 Xiao Wan... You will go back later today, right?

Ye Qingyue was puzzled: "Why did Huo Ze come to see me?"

Huo Qingchi said: "When I bought you a birthday present that day, he also said he would give it to you, and he went shopping with me."

He thought he would meet Huo Ze today, but he didn't expect that the birthday party was over and he didn't see him.

Ye Qingyue was puzzled: "Maybe he has something to do temporarily. When the people you sent to follow him come back, you will know what he did."

Huo Qingchi nodded: "That's right."

At the same time, Huo Ze, who was discussed by Huo Qingchi and Ye Qingyue, was staying in Tang Wan's house at this time. He took the spare key from Tang Wan.

Huo Ze originally planned to attend Ye Qingyue's birthday party today, but when he was looking through the medical books the night before, he found a medicinal ingredient that looked very similar to the one missing in his family's prescription.

He remembered that this ingredient was among the medicinal ingredients that Tang Wan brought, but it had not been used yet.

Huo Ze was worried about this matter, so he rushed here early in the morning and began to boil it according to the process.

After being busy until now, feeling that the time was almost right, Huo Ze nervously opened the lid.

After the steaming white mist dissipated from the jar, the dark green ointment inside was revealed.

Huo Ze's eyes widened, his heart filled with surprise -

"Success?"

He carefully scooped the finished product out of the jar, put it into the porcelain bottle he carried with him, and cleaned up the scene.

Huo Ze had just finished washing the medicine jars when he heard some noise outside. He looked over with some caution, worried that it was Tang Wan's family. Just as he was about to find a place to hide, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door -

"Aze, why are you here today?"

Tang Wan pushed the door open and walked in.

Huo Ze relaxed a little when he saw that it was her, and smiled at her, "I want to replenish the prescriptions for the whole family as soon as possible, so I came to try the herbs you brought."

Seeing him put down the washed jars, Tang Wan guessed that he had tried it, and asked curiously, "Did it work?"

Huo Ze shook his head, "It's still not right."

"Oh, it seems that it is really difficult to complete the prescription."

Tang Wan was very regretful, but she quickly cheered up, "But a challenging task will only give you a sense of accomplishment if you succeed! I just happen to have nothing to do today, and I wanted to boil the medicine alone. Since you are here, do you want to continue together?"

Huo Ze's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "Every time we meet, we boil the medicine to complete the prescription, which is also quite troublesome for you."

Tang Wan was about to say that it was not a trouble, but heard Huo Ze say again: "Let's do something different today."

Hearing this, Tang Wan always felt that it was a bit ambiguous.

A man and a woman alone in a room, what else can they do besides doing business?

"What do you want to do?" Tang Wan asked reluctantly.

"I'll cook for you."

Huo Ze said, "It's just past noon. I'll go buy some vegetables. You don't have to do anything. I can do it alone. This is also a way to repay your usual company."

"Can you cook?"

Tang Wan was surprised. Most of the people who entered the kitchen now were women, but Huo Ze was willing to wash his hands and cook soup for her. She was moved and nodded shyly, saying, "Then... I'm sorry."

Huo Ze smiled, "Then I'll go buy vegetables."

"I'll go too!"

Tang Wan happily accompanied Huo Ze out, but she didn't notice the indifference in the man's eyes, and she didn't know which way she was going.

The two went to buy vegetables nearby.

After returning, Huo Ze was busy in the kitchen alone. Although Tang Wan was told not to help, she still couldn't help but stay in the kitchen and help Huo Ze from time to time.

For a moment, Tang Wan felt that she and Huo Ze were like a married young couple, and this was already their married life.

Looking at Tang Wan with a slightly red face, Huo Ze suddenly said: "Xiao Wan, can you go out and buy some wine? It feels like the weather is a little cool today, just right for drinking."

"Okay."

Tang Wan took the bill from Huo Ze and ran out to buy wine.

Huo Ze saw her leave, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out some dark green paste from it, and stir-fried it with the green vegetables.

The ointment had a slight medicinal smell when it was just brewed, but now that it has cooled, it has no smell and cannot be smelled when added to the dishes.

Huo Ze served the stir-fried vegetables with an indifferent look in his eyes.

"Tang Wan, don't blame me. You came up here by yourself and insisted on finding out things you shouldn't know."

Huo Ze murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "In the end, as compensation, I will make you happier."

The prescription described this poison as tasteless, and people would be unconscious after taking it. At a certain dose, within three days, it would cause cardiac paralysis and death.

Even an autopsy could not find any traces of poisoning!

Huo Ze didn't know whether the efficacy of this medicine his mother told him was true, so he needed an experimental subject.

And Tang Wan, who knew too many secrets, was the best candidate.

Although Huo Ze felt that Tang Wan was a nice person and was a little reluctant to let her go, he had to avenge his mother's murder. Even if it meant sacrificing some people, he would avenge the Huo family!

When Tang Wan came back with the wine, Huo Ze invited her to taste the freshly cooked vegetables.

Tang Wan didn't expect Huo Ze's cooking skills to be good, and Huo Ze often used a serving chopstick to pick up vegetables for her at the table, so she ate them all.

Huo Ze didn't touch the vegetables, he said he liked to eat meat.

Tang Wan wanted to pick up vegetables for him, but was stopped by Huo Ze.

"I told you, today I am repaying you, how can I let you do all this?"

Huo Ze looked at Tang Wan with a gentle gaze, "I will do the food picking."

Tang Wan did not expect Huo Ze to take the initiative today, and could not help but feel flattered.

After a few glasses of wine, Tang Wan blushed and asked boldly: "Aze... my birthday is in early July... do you want to come? My parents will be there..."

This was already a clear indication.

Tang Wan believed that Huo Ze could understand what she meant.

Birthday?

Huo Ze heard this and suddenly remembered that today was Ye Qingyue's birthday. He wanted to go, but was delayed by these things.

"Aze?" Tang Wan saw Huo Ze in a daze and thought he was unwilling, so she felt cold in her heart.

"Huh? Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Huo Ze came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll go."

Tang Wan was surprised: "Really?"

"But can you keep it a secret from your family before that?"

Huo Ze coughed lightly and said, "You and I are still students now. I'm worried that if others know about this, they will think we are not serious and have a bad evaluation of us. It won't be too late to confess after graduation."

Tang Wan felt dizzy when she heard this. Huo Ze...

agreed to her?

"Yes, I understand."

Tang Wan's face was flushed. How could she not agree?

Seeing Tang Wan so well-behaved, Huo Ze also showed a satisfied smile. He put down his chopsticks and hugged Tang Wan in his arms, "Xiao Wan...you go home later today?"

Before his experiment succeeded, he didn't want any accidents to happen, so he had to hold Tang Wan's heart firmly.

...

As night fell, Huo Qingchi left the old house with a bit of disappointment on his face.

As expected, grandma didn't tell him what happened in the past.

The more this happened, the deeper the doubts in Huo Qingchi's heart became. What secrets did the older generation have that they wanted to prevent the younger generation from knowing?

Is it too serious...

or are they too embarrassed to speak out?

Huo Qingchi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it was impossible to find the answer from home.

So, start with people outside?

"Song Qi..."

Huo Qingchi murmured, should he start from the hometown of Song Qi and his second aunt Zeng Zilan?

Song Qi's poisoning made Huo Qingchi very alert. He didn't know whether the poison was made by Song Qi himself or Huo Ze.

If it was related to the latter, he had to do something before things were irreversible.

The second uncle had already lost his wife. If he couldn't save his son...

Huo Qingchi didn't dare to think about how his second uncle, or even his grandparents would feel, not to mention that his grandparents were not in good health.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingchi didn't dare to delay any longer and sent someone to Zeng Zilan's hometown overnight to check the news. He wanted to know all the old stories between Song Qi and Zeng Zilan.
