Madam Qin trembled involuntarily, and then she understood why Xiao Ruanruan hadn't spoken up earlier.
She quickly squatted down and hugged Xiao Ruanruan, "Xiao Ruanruan, what happened? Tell Grandma in detail."
"Hmm!" Little Ruanruan nodded and said, "When Ruanruan saw Grandpa Qin, she noticed that his face was bluish and his lips were purplish. Although elderly people with poor cardiopulmonary function may also experience these symptoms."
However, when I got close to my grandfather, I heard Grandpa Qin's breathing but did not find that he had poor cardiopulmonary function, so I suspected that Grandpa Qin was poisoned.
After taking Grandpa Qin's pulse, I found it to be intermittent, sometimes surging like a torrent of water, and sometimes as weak as a dried-up stream, almost imperceptible. Only then did I conclude that he had been poisoned.
Little Ruanruan frowned and thought for a while. Then, with her big, bright eyes, she looked at Old Madam Qin and said very solemnly, "Grandma Qin, Ruanruan thinks you can also investigate that round-faced nurse."
Just now, when Ruan Ruan was taking Grandpa Qin's pulse, the woman kept rubbing her right thumb, index finger, and middle finger together. This is a very typical small gesture people use to comfort themselves when they are nervous.
Although Madam Qin was surprised that Xiao Ruanruan, a four-year-old child, knew so much.
But she was even more eager to deal with what Xiao Ruanruan had said, because what Xiao Ruanruan had said undoubtedly told her that there was still hope for Grandpa Qin, which gave her hope.
She was so excited that her voice trembled as she asked Xiao Ruanruan, "Xiao Ruanruan, can you tell what kind of poison your grandfather has been poisoned with?"
Little Ruanruan frowned, her eyebrows forming wavy lines, and shook her head sullenly. "Grandma Qin, I'm sorry, my medical skills are not good enough to tell."
Perhaps my second cousin could give it a try, but he's more knowledgeable in Western medicine. The poison Grandpa Qin suffered from seems to be a very subtle, slow-acting poison; I don't know if he could be of any help.
"Thank you, little Ruanruan, you've helped Grandma a lot." Old Madam Qin said, patting Ruanruan's head with gratitude.
Then, he instructed Xiao He, who was standing to the side, "Xiao He, you take good care of Xiao Ruanruan for me. If she suffers any grievances, I will hold you responsible."
"Yes, madam!"
Old Madam Qin went to handle some family matters, and Little Ruanruan, feeling bored, could only go fishing with her older sister.
Before she even got close to her sister, she could see from afar that her sister was excitedly carrying up another large, golden koi fish. If it weren't for her ears covering her mouth, her sister's smile would probably be reaching for the sky and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
Just as she was about to run towards her sister, a sudden reprimanding voice rang out, "Who brought this wild child here? What are you doing fishing here?"
Do you know how expensive these koi are? If you catch one and it dies, can you afford to pay for it?
As soon as Madam Qin's second daughter-in-law, Chen Xue, walked in with Xia Xingyun and Li Wanjun, they saw Su Qianqian fishing for koi in the artificial hill pond.
Upon closer inspection, she realized she didn't recognize the little girl. She wasn't the child of any of the Qin family's relatives, and the clothes she was wearing weren't from any luxury brands. Her first instinct was to assume that some inconsiderate maid had brought the child along when she came to work.
Xia Xingyun, who was standing behind her, had met Su Xixi yesterday. Her eyes darted around, and she feigned surprise, saying, "Xixi, what are you doing here?"
Chen Xue was a shrewd person. Upon hearing Xia Xingyun's words, she immediately put away her harsh and sarcastic demeanor and asked Xia Xingyun gently, "Does Sister Xingyun know this child?"
Although the old woman's koi carp were precious, they were not a poor family, and they could afford to lose a few fish.
Xia Xingyun said with a somewhat strange expression, "I do know him..."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Tang Xue's ear and whispered something.
Tang Xue's expression, which had just calmed down, instantly became even fiercer than before. This time, she didn't even ask who Su Qianqian was, and directly berated the servants, "Are you all blind?"
There are people fishing for the old lady's koi, and you can't even see it? Do you think my Qin family is raising you to eat for nothing?
"Get that little bastard out of here right now!"
"Does the Qin family really think we're some kind of poor, destitute family? They dare to bring their mistresses' bastard children into this garden?"
Chen Xue hates mistresses the most in her life because her husband, Qin Huai, the second son of the Qin family, had also cheated on her for a period of time and even had a child with his mistress.
Finally, she personally pressed that little bitch down and forced her to have an abortion. The little bitch was weak and fell ill after the abortion, dying not long after.
Qin Huai scolded her for being ruthless and vicious, calling her a poisonous woman, and demanded a divorce.
If it weren't for the old man's intervention, the marriage would have ended in divorce.
In the end, although they didn't get divorced, her husband disappeared. It was said that he went to Mount Wutai to become a monk, but she went to Mount Wutai several times to look for him and couldn't find him.
Eventually, I gave up hope.
The maid standing nearby looked embarrassed. She was about to step forward and explain to Tang Xue that Su Xixi had been brought back by the old lady herself and that fishing was permitted.
Su Xixi had already put one hand on her hip and glared at Tang Xue, snapping back, "Who are you calling a little bastard?"
Tang Xue, remembering her own past experience, was so angry that she blurted out, "So what if I scolded you?"
Susie smiled slyly, looked at the maids to the side, pointed at Tang Xue and said, "Uncle and Aunt, she has admitted that she is a bastard, so throw her out!"
Tang Xue only then realized that she had been tricked by Su Xixi.
He was so angry that he reached out to hit Su Xixi.
Su Xixi has been practicing boxing with Su Xiaowu for so long, she's not someone to be trifled with.
Two small hands quickly grabbed Tang Xue's outstretched hand, and she opened her mouth and bit down hard on Tang Xue's forearm.
