Chapter 39 Noticing Something Strange About Her Brother's Illness
Lin Cheng quickly waved his hand, but after a while he couldn't help but cautiously probe, "Young Master Ting, the young mistress's bandaging technique is quite good."
Murong Ting sneered: "You can tell the technique is good even through clothes?"
Lin Cheng chuckled awkwardly, "Isn't it because you seem to be moving around quite freely?"
Murong Ting glanced at him, then asked as if he remembered something, "Are you sure you gave Kong Wange both the money and the divorce agreement?"
Lin Cheng patted his chest and said, "Of course! The young mistress personally gave me the bank card number! I also personally delivered the agreement to her house!"
As he spoke, he realized, "Young Master Ting, could it be that the young mistress said she didn't receive it?"
Murong Ting snorted coldly.
Lin Cheng shook his head and slapped his thigh: "Young Master Ting, I never expected the young mistress to be this kind of person!"
Murong Ting moved closer to the sofa, recalling how she had argued with him, and scoffed, "She wasn't always like this, insatiable!"
Lin Cheng looked at Murong Ting in surprise: "Young Master Ting, that's not what I meant to say."
"Hmm?" Murong Ting raised his eyes.
"What I really want to say is, I never imagined the young mistress would be so dependent on you!!!"
Murong Ting: "???"
Lin Cheng sighed, "Alas, the reason why the young mistress claimed not to have received the money and agreement is because she suddenly realized something, regretted it, didn't want to move, didn't want a divorce, and wanted to be with you day and night, for a long, long time!"
Lin Cheng sighed, "I remember the young mistress was a person who cared a lot about her reputation, but now she's willing to put aside her pride for you. It shows how deeply she loves you!"
Murong Ting's lips twitched.
Lin Cheng spoke as if he were performing a play, but inevitably, he stirred a slight emotion within Lin Cheng.
Indeed, despite all these tricks, this woman still doesn't want to leave him!
Ha, those words sound grand and noble, but their actions tell a different story.
As Murong Ting thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Upon seeing this, Lin Cheng immediately roared inwardly.
He laughed. He laughed.
He knew that the young mistress's feelings for Ting Shao were not one-sided!
Judging from Ting Shao's seemingly angry but actually enjoying appearance, it's clear that after investigating for so many years, he has also discovered that he has developed feelings for the young mistress!
Just as he was getting excited, Lin Cheng remembered something and said, "By the way, Young Master Ting, the two instruments from the Kong family have been packed up and will be sent over tomorrow?"
instrument……
Oh, right, he promised the Kong family two instruments today.
This instrument isn't cheap; the cost of just one unit is over three million.
Thinking of what the old man said at the clinic today, and the actions of the Kong family, Murong Ting tapped the table with his fingertip and said as if possessed, "These two instruments don't need to be given."
Lin Cheng: "?"
Murong Ting saw that he didn't respond: "What, didn't you understand?"
Lin Cheng snapped out of his daze: "Understood! I'll have them withdraw right now!"
Murong Ting hummed in agreement.
Lin Cheng quickly made a phone call and made the arrangements. He was even more excited afterward.
Just in time for Ting Shao to realize his mistake, the Ting-Ge CP banner will never fall!
Lin Cheng's heart was in turmoil when there was a knock on the door.
He composed himself and stood up: "I'll go open the door!"
After a while, he returned and said to Murong Ting in the study, "Young Master Ting, Aunt Zheng has come to cook for the young master!"
Murong Ting raised his eyes: "How was that kid's condition this afternoon?"
"The young master is quite well-behaved; he's been staying in his room and hasn't come out."
"Let him rest more. Aunt Zheng will just bring the food upstairs after she finishes cooking."
"Okay!"
In the kitchen, Aunt Zheng was preparing chicken soup.
When Lin Cheng went in, her hand trembled, and she quickly hid the medicine packet behind her back.
Lin Cheng, being carefree, didn't notice anything amiss: "Aunt Zheng, after you finish cooking, just bring the food to the young master's room."
Aunt Zheng quickly nodded: "Yes, I know, I know."
Aunt Zheng had worked for the Murong family for many years and knew the rules, so Lin Cheng was at ease. After giving his instructions, he turned and left.
After he left, Aunt Zheng looked around again, then shakily took the medicine packet out again and poured it into the chicken soup.
Inside the children's room, Kong Chi was chatting with Murong Chen.
Murong Chen downstairs has already started eating.
"Brother Chi, Mommy's cooking is so delicious!"
Kong Chi replied with a smile, "Mommy specifically took a chef's certificate exam so she could cook for us."
The other party quickly replied: "Really? Mommy is amazing! I admire you!!"
Just as Kong Chi was about to turn back, there was a knock on the door: "Young Master, dinner is ready."
He said to Murong Chen, "It seems like it's almost time for me to eat, so I'll talk to you later."
"Okay!" Murong Chen replied, "Aunt Zheng's cooking is also very delicious, Brother Chi, eat more!"
"Okay." After replying with the last sentence, Kong Chi went downstairs to open the door for Aunt Zheng.
Aunt Zheng carried a food tray with several small, custard-colored steamed buns, a bowl of chicken soup skimmed of oil, a plate of glutinous rice lotus root, and a plate of stir-fried broccoli.
It's light yet nutritious, making it perfect for people recovering from illness. Plus, it looks appealing and makes your mouth water.
Kong took the plate: "Thank you, Aunt Zheng."
Aunt Zheng thought for a moment and said, "You eat first, I'll come back to clear the plates in half an hour."
Kong Chi nodded in agreement.
After Aunt Zheng left, he put the food plate on the table and ladled out a mouthful of chicken soup.
The chicken soup was steaming hot and looked delicious.
However, just a second before he brought it to his lips, he stopped.
He brought his nose close to the soup and smelled it. After a while, his little brows furrowed slightly.
This chicken soup has a strange, spicy taste.
Most people probably wouldn't be able to smell it, and even if they could, they would think it smelled like pepper.
However, having grown up with his mother, he developed a keen sensitivity to the smells of certain medicinal herbs. He was certain that the pungent smell was not pepper, but rather resembled a familiar herb—Fu Han Zi.
He was stung by a wasp once when he was a child, and his mother used this medicine to treat the bee venom.
He clearly remembers that while he was drinking the medicine, his mother was explaining the pharmacology of the herbs to him.
She said that the aconite root is extremely cold in nature. A small amount can relieve fever and remove dampness, but if you eat too much, it will cause you to suffer from cold poisoning. When it occurs, you will feel cold all over, as if you have fallen into an ice cellar, but your head will be hot, which is no different from the fever caused by severe wind-cold.
Could it be that Xiao Chen isn't sick, but poisoned?
He thought for a moment and then sent a message to Murong Chen.
"Xiao Chen, tell me in detail about the specific symptoms you had when you were sick yesterday."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Kong Chi replied, "Tell me first, and I'll tell you when I'm sure."
After a moment, Murong Chen said, "I feel very hot in the head and extremely cold in the body, as if I have fallen into an ice cave."
After listening, Kong Chi asked again, "Did you eat anything special before you got sick, like porridge or soup?"
"I ate!" Murong Chen replied quickly, "Didn't I tell you I failed my hunger strike? Sigh, it's all Aunt Zheng's fault for making such tempting food, and it was right next to my pillow. I couldn't resist and ate it. After eating, I took a nap, and then I got sick..."
Kong Chi's expression turned serious, and he simply sent a voice message: "So you got sick after eating the food Aunt Zheng brought you?"
