Chapter 167 Don’t break your promise
"This is so ridiculous!"

Qian Lao nodded happily and raised his hand to point to the sky.

"No one can bully her. The people standing behind her are General Shen and his soldiers!"

Meng Hui responded without saying anything.

Seeing his serious expression, Qian Lao quickly reminded him not to mention this matter, so as not to scare the little girl.

"I'll go home and get some herbs and prepare detoxification pills, which should be able to eliminate the toxins in her body.

"You don't have to worry too much about the worms. Although the worms in her body have survived, they can't integrate into her bones and blood because they haven't had sex.

"As long as you do what I said before, you can lure out the Gu insects when I come back."

Meng Hui nodded seriously and agreed.

The two returned to the hall again.

Shen Jiaojiao was counting the medicine boxes on the wall boredly.

Seeing them coming back, her adopted brother was still holding a basket in his hand, so she quickly got up and walked over.

"You went to get medicine?" she asked.

"Yes." Meng Hui nodded and explained concisely, "Mr. Qian has prescribed some medicine for you."

Shen Jiaojiao turned to look at Mr. Qian and raised her lips to smile at him.

"Excuse me, Doctor Qian."

Mr. Qian originally raised his chin with an arrogant expression. After hearing such a gentle thank you, he straightened his expression and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, no trouble, no trouble."

He motioned to Meng Hui to put the basket on the table.

He's going to start dispensing the medicine.

Meng Hui put it down as instructed, pulled Shen Jiaojiao to sit further away, and waited quietly.

Mr. Qian didn't even greet them. He walked in front of the medicine cabinets all over the wall. From time to time, he opened a medicine box and took out the medicine inside.

It was even more magical when it came to dividing the medicine. Normally, the doctor would need to use a scale to weigh it, but he could tell the weight by just twisting his hand.

Five medicine bags were quickly divided.

"Decoct one packet a day and I will come back within five days to lure out the poisonous insects for you."

With that said, Mr. Qian handed over the tied medicine bag.

Shen Jiaojiao took the medicine package and thanked her repeatedly.

Then, she couldn't help but ask Qian Lao a question.

"Divine Doctor Qian, my maid said that I talked to her last night, but I have no memory of this at all. Is this a side effect caused by the Gu?"

Mr. Qian nodded, "Yes, this symptom is somewhat similar to hysteria. If the doctor who diagnoses the pulse is inexperienced, he may mistake it for hysteria."

"No wonder..."

No wonder Keying thought she was awake.

She was bewitched by the Gu at that time, how could she still have any memory?
"When you return to Lin'an, will you be able to remove the Gu worm?" Shen Jiaojiao asked again.

"Of course, don't worry about my medical skills!"

Mr. Qian was very proud of himself, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He slapped his thigh suddenly and looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Is there a doctor with you?"

"Ah?" She frowned, looking confused, "I don't know what you are talking about..."

Mr. Qian didn't say anything clearly, but just gave her a meaningful look.

Her face darkened, and her heart thumped.

Does this 'doctor' refer to Aoxue?
impossible! Mr. Qian didn't know her, so how could he tell that there was a doctor beside her?

Could it be that... Qian Lao saw that there was something wrong with her body?
Shen Jiaojiao clenched her hands nervously, her heart beating like thunder, and her whole heart almost jumped into her throat.

If the sworn brother guesses Aoxue's identity...

While thinking, she quickly thought of a countermeasure and shook her head hesitantly.

"It's true that I don't have a doctor by my side, but I do have a maid who is proficient in medicinal medicine. She always tries her best to make some food for me."

Mr. Qian smiled knowingly, "It seems that this is the maid. She has taken good care of your body."

"It's her good fortune to be praised by the miracle doctor." Shen Jiaojiao covered her lips and smiled softly, as if she was proud of this maid.

Mr. Qian no longer dwelled on this issue, and once again told the two to remember to take good care of the Gu worms, he kicked them out on the pretext that he was going home.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Jiaojiao remembered that there was one more thing she had forgotten to ask. Mr. Qian has superb medical skills, but why is Ruyi Medical Center so crowded and he doesn’t even see a single patient?

This puzzle can only be asked when Mr. Qian comes back.

"What are you thinking about?" Meng Hui's voice sounded in her ears.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she instinctively tilted her head to the other side to avoid the man's hot breath.

Why is the adopted brother sitting next to her?

Without any time to think, she stood up and moved to the side to distance herself from the man.

How could Meng Hui do what she wished?
His big palm clasped the woman's slender wrist, and with a gentle tug, she lost her footing and fell back onto her seat.

The distance between the two became closer.

"You!" Shen Jiaojiao put her arm between the two of them, creating some distance between them.

"Brother! Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Meng Hui chuckled, "I don't remember, I just remember that the miracle doctor said you were happy with me."

As he said that, the man easily pulled away her hand and took her into his arms.

The angular chin gently touched the top of her hair.

"Shen Jiaojiao, I'm very happy."

Listening to her adopted brother's low murmur, she felt her heart beating rapidly.

The crimson color gradually spread to the neck, then the cheeks, and even the ears turned red.

It’s all the nonsense Mr. Qian said!
She was so angry that she couldn't help but struggle, for fear of falling into the gentle trap again.

"Brother, you can't break your promise. You promised me."

Meng Hui froze and finally let her go.

She quickly moved to the corner, distanced herself from the man, and stared at him with round eyes.

"Don't forget, today you are going to meet your future wife." Shen Jiaojiao emphasized the word 'wife' to remind Meng Hui not to make a mistake.

Meng Hui responded in a low voice, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.

Shen Jiaojiao watched carefully for a long time.

Seeing him motionless, I thought my actions had hurt him, and I felt a sense of guilt in my heart.

But when I think about my sworn brother helping Meng Wan...

That shaken heart was frozen again.

Her adopted brother had already chosen Meng Wan, so why should she think about this again?

After the Gu insect incident, although she denied it, she had already clearly understood her feelings for her adopted brother.

The question is, where is the adopted brother?
Thinking of the two of them going to see Jiang Yi soon, Shen Jiaojiao's heart began to throb.

She never expected that she would actually hold the eyes of her sworn brother in the second moment after confirming her love——

To meet her future sister-in-law!

What stands between them is Jiang Yi, Meng Wan, foster father and adopted mother, and the blood feud between the Shen and Meng families!
She couldn't be soft-hearted, nor could she dwell on it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yuzhu outside gently knocked on the car wall, alerting the two people in the car.

"Master, Zhiwei Teahouse has arrived."

"Okay." Meng Hui responded, turning to look at Shen Jiaojiao, "Let's go."

After saying that, he stood up and got off the carriage first.

Shen Jiaojiao froze on the spot, unable to believe her ears.

Zhiwei Teahouse?

She and Mo Gan had an appointment at Zhiwei Teahouse yesterday!
She suppressed the panic in her heart and followed Meng Hui.

Jiang Yi seemed to have just arrived.

Seeing the two of them, she greeted them with a smile, "Brother Ahun, what a coincidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiaojiao also got out of the carriage.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still raised a smile to greet Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, you're here too!"

Shen Jiaojiao forced a smile and said, "Miss Jiang, we meet again."
