Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 15 It’s not illness, it’s poisoning
  It wasn't until the meal was finished that Cheng Yishen and others gathered mysteriously in the inner room.

"Did you all hear that?"

Cheng Yishen knocked on the table and asked.

He had already realized what was going on when the brothers dropped their chopsticks. I'm afraid he wasn't the only one who heard the sound.

"Huo,"

The third child, Cheng Yize, shrugged and said indifferently: "If you can hear it, of course I can hear it too."

"I just don't know if this is a joke or if it's going to happen in the future." Cheng Yize put away his playful smile and said a little solemnly.

"I don't know about you," Cheng Yishen said, "To be honest with you, I... I really plan to secretly collect salt from the border and transport it here."

This is almost the same as admitting it directly.

"But - how will Shao Shao know what will happen in the future?"

I just met Pei Shao today. All her uncles are very fond of her and remember her voice very clearly.

What's more, although there was a large family present at the time, only Shao Shao was a girl among the few children. As for Jin Rong, Jin Heng and Qi An, they had watched them grow up, and this had never happened to them before.

"Just keep what you hear in your heart, and don't say anything about going out and causing trouble for An Bai and Shao Shaoping."

"of course."

The brothers also agreed.

This is not only an opportunity for An Bai and Shao Shao, but also for them.

In short, it is naturally good to have a way to hear about future events and prevent problems before they occur.

It wasn't until after the meal that Mrs. Cheng introduced Pei Qianyue to the old lady with a smile.

"Qianyue knows some medical skills, so I thought of bringing her to dad to have a look."

Hearing Mrs. Cheng say this, the old lady liked Pei Qianyue more and more.

Although she has been away from the capital, she still knows something about the Cheng family.

Because Pei Qianyue is an adopted daughter, and her temperament is indifferent to everyone, the old lady has never had any special feelings towards her and just treats her as an ordinary granddaughter.

Now the more I look at Pei Qianyue, the more I like him, and even his indifferent temperament doesn't matter anymore.

"Your father has this old problem," the old lady said with a hint of sadness on her face when she mentioned the old man.

"Normally, he doesn't react at all. He just lies upright on the bed like a wooden man. Today, you brought two children here, and he only reacts when you talk to him."

"Old madam, don't panic." Pei Qianyue said warmly: "I have been learning herbal medicine and medical science from my mother since I was a child. I am still somewhat confident in my medical skills. It will not be too late for me to show the old man before I make a decision."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng looked at her in surprise.

Before Pei Qianyue was adopted by her, she was the son of a servant of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Her biological mother was an elderly nun in the house, and her biological father also contracted an illness and died when she was a child.

That grandma can't read a word, so how can she learn about medical science?

Mrs. Cheng said nothing, and there was no trace of color on her face. She was still joking with her sisters-in-law.

After Pei Qianyue checked the old man's pulse, her frown relaxed. She put away her things and quietly retreated behind Cheng.

The old lady didn't look disappointed. How many famous doctors had come here in the past few days and were helpless? All he had to do was send the imperial doctor from the palace.

However, the old lady knew in her heart that even if the imperial doctor came, it would be of no avail and she would just hang on to her life with ginseng soup all day long.

"Good boy, you have the intention." She looked at Pei Qianyue, feeling very happy in her heart, and her eyes were shining with tears. Until the evening, Cheng did not see the figure of Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother.

She was afraid that Pei Haoting would notice something, so she didn't dare to stay home all night, so she hurried back to her house with her two daughters before the curfew.

Cheng's legs and feet were not good, and her brothers felt very sorry for her. They sent her to the gate of Wu'an Hou's mansion before returning home.

Pei Shao is young and had a lot of fun today. He fell asleep peacefully in Cheng's arms when he was in the carriage.

It wasn't until there were no outsiders that Pei Qianyue knelt down in front of Mrs. Cheng without saying a word, shocking Mrs. Cheng.

"Mother, Qianyue really doesn't know what to say... Grandfather's body is not sick, but poisonous." Pei Qianyue raised her eyes and said word by word towards Mrs. Cheng.

"Stone Flower Powder, as far as my daughter knows, this poison is only circulated among the Beique royal family. Grandfather and the others must have offended some great people somehow."

Mrs. Cheng's hand shook and the tea cup in her hand fell straight to the ground.

"How could this happen?!" Her lips were trembling all over her body, and she grabbed Pei Qianyue like a life-saving straw.

"Don't be too sad, mother." Pei Qianyue pursed her lips.

"Qian Yue has a way to cure this poison."

Mrs. Cheng then fell to the ground completely exhausted.

"That's good...that's good..." she murmured to herself.

On the second day after Cheng returned home, the capital began to strictly inspect the entrance and exit of the city gates.

And Pei Haoting has not returned to the house for several days. Aunt Ding is still in charge of the house, making the huge Wu'an Houfu a mess.

Pei Haoting didn't come back until late at night, but his face looked a little bad.

He entered the house and rushed straight towards Cheng's courtyard, turning a deaf ear to the words of the maid sent by Aunt Ding to invite him.

"An Bai, you will help me, right?" Pei Haoting held Cheng's hand and said affectionately.

"I was so angry these days that I ignored you, but from the beginning to the end, An Bai was the only one in my heart."

Cheng took her hand out calmly and almost couldn't help but spit it out on the spot.

Pei Haoting didn't notice it at all. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng cared about him, he was a little ecstatic.

"An Bai, you also know that I have been asked by the emperor to receive envoys these days, but I really didn't expect that the envoy would be so difficult to deal with! He humiliated me many times!"

Pei Haoting really couldn't figure it out.

He met the envoy from Beique for the first time, but the envoy seemed to dislike him and made him angry every time.

However, Beique was still the most powerful country and even the Seventh Prince did not dare to provoke it. No matter how unhappy Pei Haoting felt, he could only suffer in silence.

"An Bai, you also know that my official career has not been going well in recent years, not to mention Jing Shuo's incident a few days ago. If this task is completed well, I will most likely be promoted."

"I heard that the Beique envoy loved beauties and rare treasures very much, so I thought that sending Qian Yue there to serve her for a few days would also relieve my pressure. The Hou Mansion would not have raised her in vain for so many years. A rare treasure…”

Before Pei Haoting could finish speaking, Mrs. Cheng became furious and picked up the tea cup at hand and smashed it into his face.

"Pei Haoting!"

Cheng Anbai almost fainted from anger at his words.

"I have been married for seventeen years! I have given you two sons and a daughter. I run the shop outside and take care of the house. Have I ever embarrassed you?! Now, you want to send my daughter away for others to play with. !”
