After seeing off the people arranged by Ju Baifeng, she turned around and instructed Zhao Niangen to put away the parts, and she would come over to assemble them when she had time tomorrow.
He then said, "Now I can tell you what happened at the Long family during the time I was away."
Zhao Niangen said, "After you left, rumors spread throughout town that you ran off with another man and absconded with the large sum of money the Long family had stored here. Also, the person taking care of him here now is his real fiancée, and you're just..."
“He’s just a tool for bringing good luck,” Sheng Qian said, picking up where he left off.
Zhao Niangen awkwardly tugged at his lips, "Don't worry about it, they have no idea what's going on."
“If they knew the truth, they would say the same thing,” Sheng Qian asked. “Anything else?”
"They also said you're a fraud... that you colluded with outsiders to deceive the Long family, that you have no luck in marrying into the family, and that you only falsified your birth date and time..."
“It’s all just rumors,” Sheng Qian raised an eyebrow. “I understand. You keep an eye on things. I’ll go back and check first.”
Zhao Niangen asked worriedly, "Do you want me to go back with you?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Qian couldn't help but chuckle: "If you come back with me, wouldn't that confirm the fact that I ran off with another man?"
Zhao Niangen's ears turned red instantly, and he stammered, "I'm sorry, I, I didn't think about these things... I was just worried that you would be bullied."
“You’ve obviously forgotten the circumstances under which I hit you.”
Zhao Niangen shook his head: "That's different."
"Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll leave this place to you," Sheng Qian said before leaving.
It was already 7 p.m. when we got back to the Long family's place.
Sheng Qian stood outside the door and could hear the cheerful voices inside.
The Shaochao soldier spoke particularly loudly, with an indescribable air of pleasure.
Sheng Qian listened for a while, then pushed open the door and went inside.
The talking inside stopped abruptly.
Song Huayu and Shao Chaojun looked over at the same time.
Sheng Qian glanced inside but didn't see the driver.
I don't know where they went.
Shao Chaojun's expression changed instantly, and he said sarcastically, "So you know how to come back? I thought you'd run away."
Song Huayu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gave Sheng Qian a slight smile, though the smile wasn't entirely genuine.
Sheng Qian looked at him and said calmly, "How are you taking care of Long Yunting?"
“With us taking care of him, Yunting is naturally doing well.”
Shao Chaojun narrowed his eyes as he spoke, his tone unfriendly, "We only discovered after you left that you hadn't given him any medicine. You hid all the medicine you brought from the capital in his room. Tell me, what are your intentions? Are you trying to kill Yun Ting?"
Song Huayu stood up as well, her expression serious. "Sheng Qian, I thought you would administer Yunting's medication as prescribed after Aunt Fang left. If Brother Shao hadn't accidentally barged in and seen the medicine you hid, I wouldn't have believed you would do something like this. We can pretend nothing happened with everything else, but Yunting's medicine is one thing we can't mess with..."
Before Song Huayu could finish speaking, Sheng Qian, her face grim, strode into Long Yunting's room.
Seeing the person lying on the bed, whose face was much paler than when he left, he sharply glanced at the two people who followed him in and asked in a deep voice, "How much medicine did you give him?"
"What? We've been giving him injections according to the doctor's orders, and even two extra injections a day to make up for the missed ones. What's wrong with that?" Shao Chaojun snorted, staring at her with narrowed eyes. "Dr. Tan came to see him the day after you left and said Yunting would wake up soon. As long as we give him some stronger medicine, he'll be able to..."
"Bang!"
Shao Chaojun felt dizzy and was slammed to the ground the next second.
"ah!"
Song Huayu covered her mouth and let out a short cry.
"Hmm..."
Shao Chaojun clutched his lower back, his face deathly pale.
I can't even send out the words I want to swear.
Sheng Qian looked at him.
His eyes were as cold as ice picks.
Song Huayu covered her mouth and opened her eyes. Suddenly, she was startled by Sheng Qian's icy gaze and took a few steps back.
The aura emanating from Sheng Qian reminded Song Huayu of a killer with a criminal record.
Because of Sheng Qian's glance, Song Huayu's pretty face turned pale, her whole body stiffened, and she couldn't even utter a sound.
Sheng Qianhan said in a cold voice, "You're doing very well, using strong medicine to poison someone who's about to wake up. You'd better pray that he'll be alright."
After saying that.
Sheng Qian turned around and walked towards Long Yunting's bedside.
Looking down, I saw his face had turned slightly pale.
His handsome, sculpted face now seemed to have lost its original vitality, as if one could see life slipping away with the naked eye.
Sheng Qian cursed inwardly.
Song Huayu entered stiffly, her hands and feet moving awkwardly.
Seeing Sheng Qian about to touch Long Yunting, her expression changed again. "What are you doing! Don't touch him!"
Song Huayu's voice was loud, and she hurriedly reached out to block Sheng Qian's movements.
Sheng Qian glanced sideways and frowned when she saw Song Huayu's protective manner towards her chick.
Song Huayu stared at Sheng Qian warily: "What do you want to do to him?"
"You've taken such good care of him in just a few days?" Sheng Qian frowned. "I shouldn't have left you here. Where's the driver who brought you here?"
"What do you want with Uncle Cheng?" Song Huayu spread her arms out, blocking Sheng Qian from touching Long Yunting, as if the person lying on the bed was her husband, and Sheng Qian was a bad person who came to harm her husband.
A sharp glint flashed in Sheng Qian's beautiful eyes, and her slender, fair hand suddenly gripped Song Huayu's delicate neck.
