While Xiao Ruanruan was missing her mother, Old Madam Qin was sitting in front of Old Master Qin's bedside, holding a medical certificate in her hand.
Her hands were trembling slightly, and even her lips were shaking uncontrollably.
A moment later, she covered her mouth with her aged hand, and tears rolled down her cloudy eyes.
Her choked and suppressed voice was extremely distressing to hear, and even Xiao He, who was beside her, couldn't help but turn her face away.
Madam Qin cried for a long time before she could suppress her excitement.
She took the certificate and presented it to Old Master Qin. "Old man, do you know? Little Ruanruan really is our granddaughter."
I finally found our daughter, but unfortunately she is no longer here.
But she left us with six exceptionally talented grandchildren. When you wake up, be sure to take a good look at Ruan Ruan; she looks just like our daughter.
"Pretty, cute, and smart..."
While wiping away her tears, Old Madam Qin kept talking incoherently.
But no one noticed that Old Master Qin's fingers twitched slightly.
Then, Mr. Qin, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes. Although tears welled up in his cloudy eyes, he still struggled to raise his hand, which had become as dry and wrinkled as a withered tree branch due to age and illness, and gently wiped away the tears from Mrs. Qin's face.
Madam Qin's body froze instantly.
She raised her face with surprise and looked at Old Master Qin, "Old man, you're awake!"
Old Master Qin nodded slightly.
Madam Qin hurriedly instructed, "Xiao He, quickly, go and fetch Doctor Xiao!"
Xiao He had already gone out to find Xiao Yiyi when he saw Old Master Qin's finger move.
At this moment, she had already brought Xiao Yiyi in.
Xiao Yiyi immediately conducted a full-body examination on Old Master Qin.
"Madam, the poison in the old man's body has not been completely cleared, and the organs that were previously damaged by the poison have not fully recovered. However, as long as we continue to take good care of him, he will gradually recover."
However, the old man already has diabetes, and once his organs are damaged by toxins, he is more prone to developing other diabetic complications. This is something that needs special attention.
"Poisoning? What poisoning?" Old Master Qin's voice was particularly hoarse and unpleasant because he hadn't spoken for so long.
Madam Qin gave the old man a reproachful look, "Luckily, I invited Xiao Ruan Ruan to our home, and she discovered that you weren't sick but poisoned."
Thanks to Dr. Xiao, Xiaoruanruan's cousin, and that young man named Gu Chen, they found out that the toxins emitted by the mint-like plant you brought back earlier combined with the insulin you were taking, producing the poison.
Only then can we prescribe the right medicine, detoxify you, and save you.
Where did you get that precious pot of mint from?
When Old Master Qin heard that the plant was poisonous, he was visibly taken aback. His already cloudy eyes dimmed even more, but this subtle expression was fleeting.
"That plant, I saw it at a roadside stall when I was on my way home. I liked it and thought it was a pot of mint, so I bought it."
"Who would have thought it was poisonous!" Old Master Qin sighed.
Xiao Yiyi looked at Old Master Qin's fingers, which were twitching slightly without his notice. It was obvious that Old Master Qin was lying to Old Madam Qin.
It's just that I don't know which important person almost killed Old Master Qin, and Old Master Qin still had to lie to protect him.
However, whether or not Old Master Qin's lie will be discovered by Old Madam Qin is a matter for the Qin family and has nothing to do with Xiao Yiyi.
After rewriting the prescription for Old Master Qin, he stood up and handed the prescription to Old Madam Qin. "Old Madam Qin, this prescription is to clear the remaining toxins from Old Master Qin's body. After taking it for half a month, the remaining toxins in Old Master Qin's body will be completely cleared."
"At that time, I will prescribe a new prescription to help the old man recover."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Xiao." Old Madam Qin gratefully accepted the prescription from Xiao Yiyi's hands.
Xiao Yiyi smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you don't need to be so polite. My assistant will give you the receipt for the consultation fee and treatment expenses later."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take Xiaoruanruan and the others back now. They've been a bother to you these past few days."
Madam Qin's initially polite and joyful face instantly turned somber when she heard that Xiao Yiyi was going to take Xiao Ruanruan home.
She said with some difficulty, "Dr. Xiao, I have a favor to ask. Could you let Xiao Ruanruan and the others stay with me for another afternoon?"
I had made a promise with Xiaoruanruan that after the old man woke up, I would sing Kunqu Opera, and she would accompany me on the flute. We were going to sing a song for him.
Seeing the pleading look on Madam Qin's face, Xiao Yiyi couldn't bear to refuse. "Since Xiao Ruanruan has already made an appointment with you, Madam, then let's wait until this afternoon. After you and Xiao Ruanruan sing a song together, I'll take Xiao Ruanruan and the others away!"
Lying in his hospital bed, Old Master Qin overheard the conversation between Old Madam Qin and Xiao Yiyi, and vaguely recalled the words Old Madam Qin had said to him with tears of joy before he woke up.
He asked somewhat excitedly, "Old woman, is Little Softie......?"
Madam Qin, fearing that Xiao Yiyi might hear him say something, quickly chimed in, "It was that very cute little girl I brought to see you that afternoon before you fell into a coma!"
I also told you that she plays the flute exceptionally well. We were supposed to have Xiao Ruan Ruan accompany her that day, and I was going to sing you a song, but before I could even start, you fainted.
As soon as Madam Qin interrupted Old Master Qin, he understood that it was probably not appropriate for Dr. Xiao to know that Xiao Ruan Ruan was their granddaughter.
After Xiao Yiyi left.
Madam Qin told Grandpa Qin about the appraisal and Su Yiqing's attitude.
After a long silence, Old Master Qin closed his eyes wearily. "We were sorry for our daughter. We had promised that if we were lucky enough to find her, we would leave half of our family fortune to her. But who would have thought that when we found her, it would be a case of an old man burying his daughter?"
As he spoke, murky tears rolled down his cheeks.
Madam Qin was also wiping away tears, choking back sobs.
Grandpa Qin gently patted Grandma Qin's back to help her catch her breath and softly comforted her, "Alright, don't cry. God has been kind to us by letting us see our grandchildren one more time."
If they don't want to admit it, then they don't have to admit it!
After a few days, when I felt a little better, I divided up all those material possessions.
"Let's not stay in this troublesome place right under the city walls anymore. Let's find a beautiful, quiet place and live out the rest of our days in peace."
Madam Qin wiped away her tears and looked at Old Master Qin, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
