Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2555: Chapter 2556: Return to Tianyun (122)

”Mm.” Su Xing then recounted how she was married into the Huo family and Madam Huo was very fond of her, and how she married into the Tao Mansion, where they swapped identities to marry her to Taoming Ye, and she was very much in love with Taoming Ye, among other things.

An Jing listened and regretted, saying: ”Earlier, when your Uncle Gong and Auntie Ye Zi went to the Huo family to find you, we should have gone with them. At that time, maybe we could have been reunited.”

”Eh?” Su Xing was very surprised, ”What Uncle Gong and Aunt Ye? Could it be that the Grandpa Gong and Grandma Gong who went to the Huo family to find my husband were the Uncle Gong and Aunt Ye you mentioned?”

”One is called Gong Juechen, the other is Ye Zhi, they are your third sister-in-law’s parents.” Saying this, An Jing paused, then asked: ”Xiner, do you know that your husband is actually poisoned?”

”Poisoned?!” Su Xing was shocked, ”I didn’t know! I always thought my husband was unwell physically, turns out it’s true... My husband suspected correctly, those medicines must have issues!”

”What medicine?” An Jing asked.

”It’s the ones Mrs. Cao always gave my husband to boost his health, but I tested them with silver needles and found nothing wrong. My husband also secretly gave the medicine to some doctors to examine, and they couldn’t detect anything either. Even the Imperial Physician couldn’t diagnose what illness my husband had. Right, Mom, how do you know my husband is poisoned?”

”Since you remember the bedtime story I once told you, why not recall there was a person named Gong Juechen, who is your Uncle Gong, and he’s skilled in medicine. He secretly took your husband’s pulse while supporting him and discovered he was poisoned, although he couldn’t cure it. But he did try out the prescription sold to you for fifty thousand taels, and he told us about it. Although it can suppress the toxicity a bit, it cannot cure the poison. Later, he lost interest and stopped attempting to cure your husband, and he didn’t go to find you and your husband again.”

”No wonder...” Su Xing realized. Then she grew anxious, ”Can my second brother cure my husband’s poisoning? The Imperial Physician mentioned my second brother is highly skilled in medicine, and I always wanted to ask my second brother to cure my husband, but the problem is my second brother doesn’t know me, and he’s a Prince, so I didn’t dare to rashly ask him.”

An Jing quickly comforted: ”Don’t worry yet, your Uncle Gong also told us that as long as the toxicity hasn’t reached a lethal dose in the body, it won’t be fatal. As long as your husband doesn’t consume more of the poison, he should be fine. As for your second brother, since he is your husband, even if he cannot cure this poison, I am sure he will find a way to cure your husband. Don’t worry too much.”

”My second brother doesn’t know I’m his sister, Mom and Dad, you must make sure my second brother treats my husband.”

An Jing smiled and said: ”As long as I tell your second brother, he will know you’re his sister. Your Dad and I were in a coma for three years because we traveled to the modern era. After we came back, because your sister is still there in modern times, we couldn’t let your seven brothers worry about her, so we told them about traveling to modern times and that your sister was doing well. Including the fact that your Dad and I also had two children in modern times, they are aware of that too. Once I tell them, they will know you are their youngest sister for sure, and they will be very happy.”

Su Xing said with a smile: ”When I took the palace examination, I saw my eldest brother, I wanted to reunite but didn’t dare. He really looks a lot like Dad.”
