Gu Yunru sighed with lingering fear and prepared to take him back to the attic for observation.

"My wife, why don't I take him to the secret room? I'm afraid he will leave suddenly one day..." Rong Zhen had such worries, especially because their daughter Yaya was still in the attic.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Gu Yunru nodded and asked someone to settle the poisoned person first. When they arrived at the government office, they brought the Shenyou grass to the kitchen, and combined it with the medicinal food with Xiangping to make a delicious medicinal soup.

"It smells really good." Gu Yunru raised the corners of her mouth with pride and complacency. Xiangping nodded, took the medicine bowl and fed it to Ji Heng's mouth himself, while Shu'er was worried and couldn't sleep at night. After seeing her aunt coming back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt, I'm so glad to see you back safely. You know how worried I have been during this period..." Shu'er looked at her fearfully, as if a huge rock had finally pressed down on her.

"I know you're worried. I'm back, haven't I? Xiangping and I have already stewed the Shenyou grass using medicinal food and fed it to Ji Heng. He will wake up within three days. Don't worry during this period. Give him some time to relax." Gu Yunru comforted Shu'er. She saw how much Shu'er had done for Ji Heng and only hoped that Ji Heng would not let Shu'er down one day in the future.

Early the next morning, news came from the government office that many crazy children had been caught and thrown directly into jail. However, since so many people were locked up together, they started biting each other, which was very horrifying. So they had no choice but to tie them up one by one with iron chains.

Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen arrived at the prison. Mingxuan met them halfway and hurriedly followed them, wanting to see if his younger brothers and sisters would be among them.

"Mingxuan, Master has told you first, don't panic when you go in later. Tell them you saw something horrible, and remember not to scream. Do you understand?" Gu Yunru was afraid that Mingxuan would not be able to digest the crazy and out-of-control looks of these people, so she gave him special instructions before stepping over the threshold.

"I understand, Master!" Mingxuan nodded earnestly, and followed Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru into the prison. There were people leading the way. These out-of-control and crazy children were tied up with iron chains, and they were roaring at each other.

"Don't be afraid..." Gu Yunru tried her best to comfort him, but even she herself was unsure. Looking at this terrible scene, she could only ask a coroner to accompany her to check what was going on in their bodies.

After taking their blood, Gu Yunru came to the basement where the coroner often worked. The furnishings here were very peculiar, and there were several human skeleton racks. It was equivalent to the office of a modern medical school, where corpses could be dissected without being disturbed.

"Did you find anything?" Gu Yunru looked at the coroner with a serious look on his face. He didn't even have the heart to disturb him. The coroner took a breath and rubbed his goatee seriously, looking very authoritative.

"Worse." The coroner only said these two words, and Gu Yunru suddenly realized what was going on. She took out the scalpel she carried with her, took out the living threadworm and put it in a bottle, preparing to take it home for careful study.

Back at Huajianlou, everyone looked worried. Xiangping cooked a few delicious dishes and was about to treat everyone well, but he found that everyone looked listless. He walked up carefully and asked, "What's wrong with everyone?"

"It's nothing, Xiangping. What delicious food have you made for everyone?" Gu Yunru wanted to reverse the stiff and awkward atmosphere, but Mingxuan on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mingxuan, are you okay?" Gu Yunru called him gently, only to see that his pupils were very dilated, as if he had been frightened by something. He didn't say a word on the way back.

"Mingxuan, this is your favorite Tai Chi taro paste. Come and try it. Is it exactly the same as what you had outside before?" Gu Yunru looked at the taro paste made by Xiangping. It was made by steaming oil, sugar and lard. The shape and color of the dish were very simple and generous, and the taste of the taro paste was also very delicate and smooth, sweet and delicious. It seemed that in order to please Mingxuan, even this trick was used.

It looks like a cold dish, but it actually tastes warm and has a unique flavor.

"Yes, Mingxuan, you should at least try it to give your sister Xiangping some face." Gu Yunru picked up the chopsticks and looked at Rong Zhen. Mingxuan has been looking listless since he came back from the yamen.

He must have been scared by something. I should not have let Mingxuan follow him in. Mingxuan's eyes were red, as if he had received some great stimulation.

"Mingxuan, are you okay? If you don't want to eat, forget it." Gu Yunru knew that he was very sad. He still hadn't found his brother and sister. He went around to identify them but couldn't find their whereabouts. It was very likely that he had already...

"I want to find my brother..." Mingxuan only had this small request, but Gu Yunru didn't make it happen. She felt so guilty and upset...

"Um, I'm sorry, Mingxuan. I will tell you as soon as I have any news." Rong Zhen also intervened in this case and was determined to rescue those children from the dire straits. In order to reassure Mingxuan, he also suggested that Mingxuan could accompany him in investigating the case. In this way, he felt at ease.

"Okay, don't make the atmosphere so awkward. We haven't had a good meal together since our sworn brother and sister Gu came back. I cooked so much food today, and you guys usually scramble for it, but today you've become so humble."

Xiangping rolled her eyes silently, and Rong Zhen twitched her lips awkwardly. If it weren't for Xiangping's complaints, everyone would have not shifted their attention to the dishes she cooked.

"Okay, Xiangping, how is Dongfang Ye doing recently?" Rong Zhen knew that she had been working hard these days. She had to serve as the chef in Huajianlou, and she also went to Dongfang Ye to sell classes with Qiao Er in the evening. She was so busy that she had lost some weight.

"Recently, more and more people have signed up, including some from poor families. I think it is very important for them to learn a skill so that they can have a job in the future. However, there are not many restaurants in Qizhou City. Should we open a few more restaurants or provide financial support to them?"
