Little Ruanruan quickly wiggled her little feet and followed.
Seeing Gu Chen touching and smelling the plant, Xiao Ruanruan asked in confusion, "Brother Gu Chen, is there something wrong with this mint?"
Gu Chen handed the potted plant to Xiao Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, take another look, is this mint?"
Little Softie sniffed hard, her big eyes still full of doubt, "This is mint!"
Xiao Yiyi quickly went over, took the plate of plants from Gu Chen's hands, and after sniffing it, her expression changed. "This isn't mint, it's a poisonous herb that should be growing in a primeval forest!"
"This is the poison in the old man's body," Gu Chen said.
Little Ruanruan asked in confusion, "Then why was only Grandpa Qin poisoned?"
If the scent molecules of a plant that looks and smells exactly like mint could cause poisoning, then everyone who smells it would gradually become poisoned.
"Because the old man himself has diabetes and needs to inject insulin for a long time," Xiao Yiyi explained. "The aroma molecules of this plant are not toxic in themselves, but if they combine with insulin after being inhaled into the body, they can cause slow poisoning."
Gu Chen then gently ruffled Xiao Ruanruan's soft hair. "Xiao Ruanruan, leave things here to me and your second cousin. You go play first."
Wait for me outside, I'll take you out to play later.
"Okay!" Little Ruanruan knows a little bit of medical skills, but she's not an expert. She can't be of much help if she stays here.
So, she happily ran out to tell Grandma Qin the good news.
"Grandma Qin, do you remember where that plant came from? My second brother said that kind of plant is not common and usually only lives in primeval forests," Xiao Ruanruan asked.
Knowing the origin of that potted plant essentially tells us who poisoned Old Master Qin.
Madam Qin frowned slightly as she thought for a moment, "The old man brought that plant back himself. He was very happy that day, saying that a huge weight had finally been lifted off his shoulders."
Moreover, after returning home, he instructed the gardener to take good care of the plant.
I asked him at the time who gave it to him, but he didn't say. It was just a small potted plant, and I didn't think much of it, so I didn't ask again.
"It's alright, we'll ask Grandpa Qin again when he wakes up," Xiao Ruanruan comforted Old Madam Qin, holding her hand.
A gentle smile bloomed on Madam Qin's face.
Xiao Ruanruan then went to inform her older brothers and sisters that Brother Gu Chen was going to take them out to play.
Su Xixi immediately stood up and ran towards Qin Huan's courtyard, "I'll go and call Brother Qin Huan together."
Su Lei's face darkened as he looked at Su Xiaowu.
Su Xiaowu was puzzled by his gaze. "Leier, why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
Su Lei's expression softened. "It's nothing. I was just thinking that we could become brothers with Gu Chen, and maybe we could become brothers with Qin Huan as well."
I'm not very good at this, but you can try your best, buddy.
Su Xiaowu glanced at Su Lei with a hint of pride and arrogance, "Although your little brother is indeed very popular, my standards for choosing friends are very high. I will never be brothers with just anyone!"
Su Lei remained expressionless. "A week's worth of homework!"
Su Xiaowu's mouth stretched to the back of her ears, "A week is too little, a month, you do my homework for a month, and I'll help you win over Qin Huan!"
Little Softie: ￣□￣｜｜
"Brother Su Lei, your older brothers trust you so much, asking you to supervise your younger brother and Sister Qianqian's studies. Is it really okay for you to so blatantly use your homework to negotiate with your younger brother?"
Su Lei sighed in a mature and sophisticated manner, and ruffled Xiao Ruanruan's hair. "Xiao Ruanruan, you will understand your brother's good intentions in the future."
Little Softie: ……
It seems that even if she told her brothers that she was from another time, none of them would remember that she was actually in her twenties.
Actually, there was nothing she didn't understand. It was just that because Sister Qianqian was getting close to Brother Qin Huan, Brother Su Lei started to be wary of Brother Qin Huan, just like the brothers were wary of Brother Gu Chen.
She felt that her brothers were completely overthinking things.
Taking Gu Chen as an example, according to her research in psychology, if eight-year-old Gu Chen liked her, then he should do all sorts of pranks to attract her attention, just like the older brother did with Tingting.
If fourteen-year-old Gu Chen really liked her, he would show off his abilities to her to attract her attention, and he would also chat with her frequently to get her attention.
Even if Gu Chen's mental age isn't eight or fourteen, as long as he likes her, he will definitely find a way to get her attention; it's a biological instinct.
But does Brother Gu Chen have one?
No!
Gu Chen, like any other brother, has always been there for her when she needs him, offering her help.
When I have nothing to do, I don't do anything to attract her attention.
As for Brother Qin Huan...
Based on her observations over the past two days, Qin Huan did not deliberately do anything to attract Qianqian's attention.
So, Su Lei might really be overthinking things.
While Xiao Ruanruan was pondering this in her heart, Su Xiaowu and Su Lei had already negotiated and finally agreed on a price: Su Lei would do Su Xiaowu's homework for half a month.
Su Xiaowu smugly put a hand on Xiao Ruanruan's shoulder, "Good Ruanruan, remember what happened today, absolutely, positively keep it a secret from the Tyrant and the others!"
