Chapter 5
If you hit me again, you will hold a grudge.
"Mom, do you really know how to detoxify?"
The courtyard where Qin Yi lives now is called Tingfeng Courtyard, and almost half of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is separated from the remote courtyard in the corner where Su Shixia currently lives.
On the way to Tingfeng Courtyard with her mother-in-law, the child in Su Shixia's arms tightly wrapped her arms around her neck, lay on her shoulders and asked nervously in a low voice.
"I heard them say that I...the prince found a miraculous doctor to treat his adopted daughter. The medicine they forced me to drink just now was the antidote prescribed by the miraculous doctor."
"You said that bowl of medicine can't detoxify, then this poison is one that even miracle doctors can't detoxify. Mother, can you really detoxify it?"
Su Shixia glanced sideways at the child and saw that he was obviously extremely nervous, but still pretending to be calm, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
This kid seems to be much smarter than the original owner thought. If I remember correctly, his name is - Qin Zhan.
Zhan means pure and clear.
The original owner gave him this name because he wanted him to become a truly good person with a pure heart.
Now it seems that this child is filial and kind enough, but he has a simple heart...
Oh, let’s forget it.
In this den of tigers and wolves in the Qin family, if he didn't have some scheming, how could he survive?
"You don't even know if I can detoxify. How dare you eat all the poisonous pastries that the old lady gave you? Just now, the old lady gave you the antidote prepared by the miracle doctor. Why didn't you drink it? You can't cure it.
The poison will kill you, aren't you afraid?"
Su Shixia asked instead without answering.
Xiao Qinzhan pursed his lips and lowered his head to prevent Su Shixia from seeing the expression on his face clearly.
After a long pause, he said in a low voice: "I don't want my mother to die. If she wants me to eat cakes, I will eat them. As long as she is willing to let you go, I can do whatever she wants! But I have obviously finished all those cakes.
They still refuse to let you out..."
"What other medicine is there? They don't want to save me at all. They just want to save...save the prince's child. Even if it is really an antidote that can detoxify, I won't care!"
Xiao Qin Zhan's little arm around her neck tightened a little.
"I only want you to live. If you are no longer here, mother, I will go with you!"
The little guy's voice was slightly trembling, but the words he spoke were extremely stubborn.
The unconditional protection and attachment to her revealed in his words made Su Shixia's heart soften.
"Your mother did not love you in vain. Knowing that you are so filial, I think she can die in peace."
Su Shixia sighed and murmured, then hugged him and walked into the courtyard gate of Tingfeng Courtyard.
Her words were so soft that Xiao Qin Zhan couldn't hear clearly what she said.
He straightened his back slightly and turned to look at Su Shixia suspiciously. Just as he was about to ask, a small figure suddenly rushed towards Su Shixia like a gust of wind in the yard, and bumped into her hard like a revenge.
"Go away! I don't want you to pretend to be kind!"
The little boy wearing an exquisite robe stared at Su Shixia angrily with red eyes, stretched out his little arms and pushed her hard to push her out of the yard.
"Yan'er is like this because of you. If you hadn't poisoned her, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much! You clearly wanted to kill her, but now you say you can save her, it must be
Deliberately lying! I won’t believe your lies!”
"get out!"
The little boy saw Su Shixia standing there and didn't move. He raised his leg angrily and kicked her leg, "Yan'er doesn't need you to save her!"
Su Shixia said that she could detoxify, which was considered a big deal. On her way to Tingfeng Court, a servant had already delivered a letter to Qin Yi.
Although Su Shixia had never seen the child who was kicking and beating her before, she could guess that this was the adopted son of Qin Yi.
No matter what the reason was, it was indeed because the original owner sent poisonous cakes that the child's sister was poisoned.
Because she was somewhat unreasonable, Su Shixia didn't want to argue with an ignorant child, so she let him kick and hit her to vent her anger, but Su Shixia didn't fight back.
But little Qin Zhan, who was held in her arms, refused to follow her.
He struggled to jump out of Su Shixia's arms, and stubbornly shouted at the little boy in brocade clothes, "My mother, she is not a bad person! She will not intentionally harm others, she must... she must be
What’s the misunderstanding?”
"You are not allowed to hit my mother! My mother is here to save people sincerely! She never lies. If she says she can detoxify, then she will definitely be able to detoxify!"
Oh, this little guy, even though he was extremely worried before, fearing that she wouldn't be able to detoxify, now he defends her and looks like he trusts her wholeheartedly.
Although he is not very old, he is good enough to protect his shortcomings. This temperament is really interesting.
Su Shixia chuckled lightly and followed Xiao Qin Zhan's wishes and put him on the ground, but did not let him continue to argue with the little boy in brocade clothes. She only raised her hand and stroked his little head to signal him to be quiet first.
Her eyes followed the little boy in brocade clothes, "You are Qin Yi's adopted son? Your name is Xie Zhi, right?"
"So what!"
Xiao Xie Zhi clenched his fists and raised his head high, looking at Su Shixia angrily with his round, wet red eyes.
But he saw that Su Shixia said to him very seriously: "I'm sorry, your sister suffered poisoning after eating the cakes I sent. This is indeed my fault, and I apologize to you for this."
"But I was just following orders when I delivered the cakes. I didn't know that the cakes were poisonous at the time, so if you want to blame all the fault on me, I won't admit it."
"You just hit me seventeen times and kicked me five times. I let you hit me a few times to vent your anger. Just treat it as my apology to you, and I won't care about you anymore. But from now on, if you attack me again,
I’m going to hold a grudge.”
Su Shixia's words were serious, and Xiao Xie was stunned for a moment.
After all, he was young and had not experienced much. He had never met someone like Su Shixia who had to carefully remember how many times someone hit her. At this moment, he was completely confused.
Su Shixia saw him frozen there and didn't forget to raise his eyebrows as a reminder.
"Aren't you going to get out of the way? Isn't your sister's condition already very bad right now? Are you sure you still want to stop me here and delay me from detoxifying your sister?"
"Are you here to detoxify?"
A man's sneer came from not far away, "I don't know when you actually know how to heal!"
"Father!"
Xiao Xie Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Yi's voice, and he immediately opened his short legs and ran towards him as if he had found his backbone.
Feeling Xiao Qin Zhan standing next to her suddenly reach out and squeeze her hand tightly, Su Shixia patted the back of his hand comfortingly.
She straightened up, slowly raised her head, and carefully looked at the person in front of her by the light of the lantern in the corridor, the... "husband" she had been against for five years.
