Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 539 Sister, is your medicine bitter?

The next day, Yao Qingnian came to the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, and the answer she got was that Princess Rui was not in the mansion. She went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the Queen Mother and the prince, and would not be back for a while, so she had to leave first.

After leaving Prince Rui's Mansion, she wanted to go see Linglong and the others, so she went to buy some things and walked towards the villa. Passing by a street, Yao Qingnian suddenly saw a familiar voice and figure. That person was none other than Zhao Qi who had disappeared for a while. At that time, Chen Shuhua was investigating the matter of Shen Wenting embezzling money for Shen Nianran's living expenses. She had met Zhao Qi several times. Later, after his uncle Lao Qiao died, she heard from Yuzhu that their family was missing. Why did he suddenly appear now? Zhao Qi lowered his head and looked around cautiously.

She hurriedly followed him and came to a remote courtyard. Zhao Qi stopped and was about to knock on the door when Yao Qingnian's voice rang out behind him: "Zhao Qi."

He turned around and saw that it was Yao Qingnian. He panicked and said hesitantly, "Miss... Miss... why is it you?"

"Well, where have you been? Why did you suddenly disappear?" Yao Qingnian asked in a cold voice. Yuzhu had gone to his house before, but the house was empty.

"I went back to my hometown." Zhao Qi said, and suddenly started to run away.

Suddenly, a child opened the door, stuck his head out, and said timidly, "Daddy, you're back!"

Zhao Qi paused, turned around, walked to the child and said, "Guisheng, don't come out, stay at home. Dad will go get you some medicine and buy you some delicious food later."

"Okay, Daddy, I get it. The medicine is very bitter. If possible, please buy me some candied fruit. If not, forget it. You have already spent a lot of money on my medical treatment." The child inside replied sensibly.

"Okay, take good care of yourself. Don't worry, I will bring it to you when Dad comes back." Zhao Qi said to him softly.

"Thank you, Daddy!" The child nodded his head, and seeing Yao Qingnian beside him, he asked curiously, "Dad, who is this sister?"

"Um, this is a lady that Dad knows. She wants to talk to me about something..."

Yao Qingnian stepped forward and Zhao Qi was about to stop her, but when he saw that she had squatted down and had no ill intentions, he let her do what she wanted.

Seeing the child's chubby appearance and sweet mouth, she couldn't help but touch his little head and said, "Hello, little kid, are you sick? I know a little bit of medical skills, do you want me to help you?"

"Okay, sister, come and take a look at it for me!" Little Douding invited the person into the house.

"Guisheng, how can you let strangers into your house?" Zhao Qi couldn't help but scold.

"Dad, this sister is not a bad person. She said she can help me with my illness!"

"Don't worry about your father, let's go in! Sister is not a bad person! Tell me where you feel uncomfortable?" Yao Qingnian ignored Zhao Qi and followed the child into the yard.

The yard was shabby, with things discarded and piled everywhere, and Zhao Qi had only been gone for a few months, so the ruffian spirit he had shown before had long since disappeared.

"Actually, sister, let me tell you, I'm not sick."

"Not sick?"

"Well, I just have nightmares every night and I can't sleep alone..."

"Well, stretch out your little hand and let me show you."

"Okay." The little kid stretched out his hand obediently.

Yao Qingnian felt his pulse and found that the child had no major problems except that his breathing was a little unstable and he was not in a good mood. So he withdrew his hand and said, "The child is not in a good mood, but there are no other major problems. I will prescribe some medicine for him to calm his nerves and strengthen his body."

"Thank you, sister! But is your medicine bitter? I don't want to take medicine anymore."

"Since you are so well behaved, I will prescribe you some medicine that is not bitter!"

"How can medicine really not be bitter?" The little boy's eyes lit up.

"Of course, but this can only be eaten by good children. If they are not good, I will prescribe very bitter medicine for them."

"Guisheng is the most obedient! Don't you agree, Daddy?"

"Hmm? Well...Guisheng is a sensible and good child." Zhao Qi said awkwardly.

"Okay, since your father has said so, I will prescribe you some sweet medicine that can cure your illness! But your father and I have something to talk about now, so can you go play aside for a while?"

"Okay!" The little kid skipped back to his room.

"Please sit down!" Zhao Qi invited Yao Qingnian to sit down in the yard.

"I have something to ask you." Yao Qingnian said in a cold voice.

"What's the matter? Don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you treated Guisheng just now." Zhao Qi's eyes were full of resentment.

"I want to ask you about something that happened back then."

"I don't know anything. I'm in this state now, and you, the Shen family, are not going to let me go?"

"How did you get that? At the beginning, your uncle Lao Qi took the entire thing on his own and ended up dying in prison. My mother knew that Shen Wenting was the culprit and that you were just following his orders, so she didn't put the blame on you and let you go."

"You are from the Shen Mansion, so of course you should speak for the Shen Mansion!"

"No, my mother and Shen Wenting divorced, and I was kicked out. I have nothing to do with them. I came to you to ask if you know something about why I was sent to the countryside. Your uncle is Shen Wenting's man and has worked for him for many years. He must know something, but he died in prison unexpectedly. You are his closest person. I happened to meet him today, so I wanted to ask you."

"I don't know anything, don't ask me. If you have nothing to do, please go back!" Zhao Qi asked her to leave.

"Stop! Why are you so scared if you don't know anything? What exactly happened?" Looking at his nervous and frightened expression, it seemed that he was afraid of being noticed.

"Aren't you and Shen Wenting in the same group? Why should I believe you? He is your biological father." Hatred appeared in Zhao Qi's eyes.

"How is that possible? You know, he abandoned me to the countryside when I was little. Not only did he not care about my life or death, he even took away my living expenses and wanted to kill me. I hate him so much, but I still teamed up with him. Unless I was kicked in the head by a donkey, I must be crazy."

"He wants your life?" Zhao Qi knew that Shen Wenting was a cruel person, but he didn't expect that he would even kill his own daughter.

"Didn't Shen Wenting and your uncle hire someone to do this? I believe you are aware of it." Yao Qingnian said calmly.
