Chapter 88 Uninvited Guests
"This poison is aimed at me, not Li Rongsen. Fortunately, my body is immune to all poisons, otherwise I would be infected." An Yan told him.
"That little girl has offended quite a few people," Hua Ye sighed, adding, "Nine out of ten, they're from the three major families. They have extensive connections, and those three old men have seen as much of the world as I have. Those evil people often come to them, and they're happy to give them some money in exchange for some benefits."
"He is indeed a businessman." An Yan said.
"They have everything they need. Even though some things are not used, it's fun to buy them. Besides, they may be useful in the future," said Hua Ye.
An Yan felt that this was possible, but she wasn't completely sure. She said, "If you want to deal with me, you must have a reason to deal with me."
"You have a grudge against the three major families, so I won't bother you." Hua Ye gathered a lot of herbs in the yard and said to her, "Now we can find a way to detoxify."
"Master, do you know how to make the antidote?"
"I don't know. We'll have to try." Hua Ye told her frankly, adding, "I'll list the ingredients of this type of poison first, and then you can find the herbs that counteract it. There will always be a way."
"Okay." An Yan nodded. This was the only way for now.
"I gave you a book of medicine before. You can just compare it from it. It will be more convenient." Hua Ye reminded her.
"I've piled them all on the table. I'll go find them later." An Yan nodded, and saw Hua Ye find a copper basin and put the kettle in it.
An Yan asked: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"No need, go upstairs and check on him. It's time for him to take medicine. You also need to give him two injections to prevent him from producing seeds again." Hua Ye said to her half-jokingly and half-seriously.
An Yan laughed when she heard this and said, "He can have some porridge and soup tonight."
"I'll go cook some medicinal porridge later. You go upstairs first." Hua Ye said as he started fiddling with the medicinal herbs in his hand.
An Yan went upstairs and saw Li Rongsen sitting at the table reading some medicine books. She said, "Why don't you take a rest? Go lie down. I'll take care of it here."
"I have classified all these herbs. Do you think this will work?" Li Rongsen said as he handed some papers to An Yan. He thought that he couldn't just stay here for nothing and should do some work.
An Yan took it and saw that he could actually write calligraphy, and his writing was very beautiful. She asked him, "Do you like the Slender Gold style too?"
Li Rongsen made way for him and sat on the bed again, saying, "I like the Slender Gold style of calligraphy, but I don't like that emperor."
"Me too." An Yan nodded and looked at his records. They were well categorized, making them very convenient to review. She said, "So you know a little about medicinal herbs too."
"That's true. I'm running Wancaotang after all," Li Rongsen said, adding, "But the herbs you've recorded here are very rare. This is the first time I've seen them, so I'm not familiar with them."
"They're all planted in the yard downstairs," An Yan said, putting away the books and saying, "I'll go get the medicine." Then she went downstairs again.
She had just bought some candied fruit and put it on a small dish. She then poured the medicine into the bowl and brought them upstairs together.
Li Rongsen now had some strength. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp without stopping for a moment, for fear that it would be too bitter to swallow.
"This is for you, suck on one." An Yan said as she took the bowl from his hand and handed him a small plate.
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Li Rongsen felt that he should maintain his dignity as a man. How could he eat candied fruits like a child?
An Yan let him do what he wanted. She took the dishes down to wash first, then went upstairs and said to him, "The cause of the poison has been found. It's not aimed at you, but at me, so you don't have to be too afraid."
"Who wants to harm you?" Li Rongsen asked.
"This hasn't been found out yet, but I have installed surveillance in the room. We can discuss how to lure the snake out of its hole later." An Yan said as she began to read the medical classics.
Li Rongsen's phone rang. He picked it up and asked, "What's up?"
"Where are you? Are you on a business trip? I want to invite you and Mingjie to have dinner together." The person opposite was Zhou Qingxue.
"Not these days, I'm busy."
"I see An Yan is busy recently. Is she working on something with you?" Zhou Qingxue asked him tentatively. Although she had asked An Yan last time, she was still afraid that they would fall in love if they were together so often.
Li Rongsen didn't know how to answer, so he said, "No."
"Okay, call me when you come back and we'll have dinner together." Zhou Qingxue's voice became cheerful.
Li Rongsen nodded and hung up the phone, then went to look at An Yan. She was reading seriously, as if everything around her didn't exist. Her handwriting was also very beautiful, not worse than his at all.
An Yan felt someone behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Li Rongsen standing behind him. He said to him, "What are you doing standing here? It's like a teacher checking students' homework. Go back and lie down."
"I have nothing to do just lying down." Li Rongsen said as he sat down beside her.
"Your body is already a little weak, so take this opportunity to recuperate. Besides, the poison in your body has not been eliminated yet, so you'd better lie down. It will be troublesome if you go outside and get exposed to the wind." An Yan said to him.
"I'm very strong and not afraid of the wind. I'd like to go and help Master Hua." Li Rongsen was really bored lying there.
"No need. Not helping is the greatest help." An Yan still lowered her head and just read the medicine book.
Li Rongsen saw a coat on the back of a chair with a hole in the cuff. He said, "Why is this coat torn?"
An Yan stopped writing and looked at it, saying, "I don't know how it got torn. I'll fix it in a while."
"You can also mend clothes?" Li Rongsen was surprised, thinking that there was nothing she couldn't do.
An Yan suddenly thought of something. She looked at Li Rongsen and said, "If you keep asking so many questions, I'll have to prick your mute point. I'm busy now."
Li Rongsen immediately went back to bed and lay down obediently, but his eyes were not idle and he kept staring at her.
An Yan wasn't shy, but she felt uncomfortable being stared at like that all the time, so she said, "If you keep staring at me without blinking, I'll make you blind for a while."
"You have to let me find something to do. It's a bit boring." Li Rongsen replied. He really couldn't lie down anymore.
At this time, I saw Hua Ye coming upstairs. He was holding a bowl of porridge and two exquisite side dishes. After placing them on the table, he said, "Come, boy, come and have something to eat to replenish your energy."
Li Rongsen immediately got up from the bed and said, "It looks delicious. Thank you, Mr. Hua."
"No need to thank me. You are a regular customer anyway, and you look good too." Hua Ye said with a smile, motioned him to eat quickly, and then went downstairs.
And An Yan was still reading.
Li Rongsen said behind her: "Master Hua's cooking skills are really good. If he opens a porridge shop, it will definitely be very popular."
"He's so old, why does he still want to open a porridge shop? I would like to hire two nannies to serve him and make porridge for him." An Yan responded to him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of kicking the door downstairs, and a man walked in swaggeringly.
Hua Ye was slightly startled. Although he didn't recognize him, he felt that he looked familiar.
He was a young man with a feminine appearance, and his voice was also full of femininity. He said, "Uncle Hua, how are you?"
An Yan was a little surprised that someone could break through the invisible poison line network, and then went to the corridor outside to see.
