She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 228 Being disrespectful to the elderly

Old Qian stood there, as if deliberately waiting for Shen Jiaojiao, and only went to greet her when she came closer.

"How have you been feeling these days?"

"It's okay." Shen Jiaojiao replied.

"Let's go in and take your pulse." After saying this, Old Qian took the lead and walked towards the lobby of Qinghui Courtyard.

She quickly followed.

The two of them walked in one after the other. The room was very quiet, without even a servant serving them.

Not seeing her sworn brother, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the maid following behind her.

"Where is Yuzhu? How come there is no one to serve Mr. Qian in such a big Qinghui Courtyard?"

"I'll go and ask." Yumei said.

Yumei was originally from Qinghuiyuan and was very familiar with the place. It was the perfect time for her to go there and look for someone.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and personally helped Mr. Qian to the main seat, "Please come in."

Mr. Qian was not polite and sat down on it. Then he carefully observed her expression and raised his snow-white eyebrows high.

"Come, let me take your pulse," said Mr. Qian.

She raised her hand, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair wrist, and placed it flat on the square table.

Mr. Qian was not a big deal. Just as he was about to reach out his hand to help, Keying, who was standing beside him, reached out with a handkerchief and spread it over him.

"That's quite thoughtful." Old Qian praised, put his hand on Shen Jiaojiao's wrist and took her pulse carefully.

After a while, the old man relaxed his expression and teased her, "You have raised this poisonous insect very well."

Shen Jiaojiao: "..."

Her intuition told her that what Mr. Qian said about "raising him well" must not be a good thing.

Love Gu is inherently strange, and it’s possible that the old man is making fun of her relationship with her sworn brother.

"You're joking. Since you asked me to come here, have you retrieved the medicine? Can the poison be removed right now?" She smiled and changed the subject.

Old Qian paused and said seriously, "Although we have the medicine, we can't remove the poisonous insect yet."

"Why?"

Shen Jiaojiao thought to herself, he is really a medical geek. As soon as he heard the serious matter, he immediately forgot to make fun of her.

"The time has not yet come. The poisonous insects are most active at midnight, which is also the best time to remove them." said Mr. Qian.

"How do you want to get it?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"I will prepare the medicine in advance. You will drink it at midnight. Within an incense stick of time, you will vomit out dark brown liquid. The poisonous insect is hiding inside."

"Should I catch this insect?"

"No need. It will die if it leaves the host." Qian Lao paused and looked up at her. "Do you have any other questions?"

This is an eviction order.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, "Will you stay with me?"

She couldn't imagine the scene of spitting out bugs...

If Mr. Qian wasn't around, she would go crazy!

Qian Lao shook his head. "Why should I get involved in your affairs?"

"Young people's things?"

"Come closer." Old Qian beckoned her with his finger, asking her to lean closer to his ear. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I forgot to tell you that after drinking the medicine, you still have to have sex..."

Suddenly, Shen Jiaojiao's whole face turned red.

She stood up suddenly and glared at Mr. Qian angrily, "You are disrespectful to the elderly!"

Mr. Qian spread his hands and said, "This is how the disease is treated."

Shen Jiaojiao was so angry at his rogue look that she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ke Xin hurriedly followed, while Keying stayed to ask for details - removing the poisonous insect was a big deal for her young lady, and she had to take care of her young lady.

The master and servant ran and chased each other all the way to the small garden, where Shen Jiaojiao was stopped by Ke Xin.

"Miss, why are you running so fast?"

Shen Jiaojiao snorted unhappily, "What do you think?"

Who would treat illnesses like this? Could it be that my brother and Mr. Qian have colluded?

"How do I know? It's the private words that Mr. Qian told you." Ke Xin asked back, panting.

"In short, it's a bad thing!" Her ears turned red, she stamped her feet and continued walking towards Mingzhu Courtyard.

Ke Xin held her hand and said, "Miss, are you leaving just like that?"

"if not?"

"Didn't the young master come to you for something?"

"Silly Ke Xin, my brother-in-law came to me just to get the poisonous insect. If there was something else important, he would have shown up long ago. How could he disappear?"

Ke Xin scratched her head, "I see."

Seeing that Ke Xin was no longer trying to stop her, she returned to Mingzhu Courtyard smoothly.

Before she could change into light clothes, Aoxue arrived.

Shen Jiaojiao directly asked someone to go into the east wing to talk.

"But something happened to Aunt Ning?"

Aoxue shook her head gently. "It's not Aunt Ning. Her injuries have stabilized and she should be able to recover soon. But what I want to tell you is the cold and cough of the people..."

"Cold?!" she was surprised.

Could it be that... the world has changed?

She turned her head to look out the window. The north wind was howling, but it was not much colder than the previous few days. At most, the wind hurt her face a little.

Why did the people start coughing?

"Miss, the servant in charge of purchasing in the small kitchen told me that twelve or thirteen out of ten pedestrians on the street are covering their faces and coughing. Even those who are wearing thick clothes are coughing..." Aoxue's expression became more and more solemn.

Shen Jiaojiao also frowned.

"How can you catch a cold if you're wearing thick clothes?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Aoxue smiled bitterly, "Miss, will the highly contagious cold that Mr. Qian mentioned be..."

"I don't know." She shook her head, stood up and walked out, "This is a serious matter, let's go find Mr. Qian now!"

Aoxue shook her head and didn't plan to follow. "There are still a few prescriptions of cold-resistant medicine. I want to boil the medicine and distribute it to the servants in the mansion."

If the situation that Mr. Qian described really happens, the Meng family can at least hold on for a while.

"Okay." Shen Jiaojiao nodded in agreement and took Ke Xin back to Qinghui Courtyard.

As soon as the two stepped into the gate of Qinghui Courtyard, they saw two people standing not far away, seemingly chatting.

Ke Xin recognized one of them as Keying and waved her hand quickly, "Keying, who are you talking to..."

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat.

The person standing opposite Keying turned his head and looked over. It was the eldest young master!

Shen Jiaojiao looked suspicious, walked quickly forward and glanced at the two of them.

"What are you talking about?"

A trace of panic flashed across Ke Ying's eyes. She knelt on the ground and explained in a low voice, "The young master asked me something."

"What do you want to ask?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Ke Ying wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked up at Meng Hun timidly, then closed her mouth tightly again.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, asked Keying to get up, and asked the two maids to step aside. Then she stared at Meng Hun.

She could guess with her toes that Ke Ying was threatened by the man in front of her and did not dare to tell the truth.

"Brother, what do you want to ask Keying?"

"Mr. Qian refused to tell me in detail how to remove the poisonous insect tonight and asked me to ask Keying." The man said indifferently.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips. This was indeed something that Mr. Qian could do.

That old naughty boy probably doesn't bother to say it a second time.

She coughed lightly and asked, "Where is Mr. Qian?"

Meng Hun raised his chin and pointed towards the main hall. "I'm resting."

"Why don't you let him go to the west wing to rest?"

She regretted it as soon as she said it.
