Chapter 423: Qianqian is in Your Hands I'm Relieved

Zhou Zining panicked, revealing everything, “She’s Qianqian’s primary physician.

Qianqian has had a stutter since she could speak.

I’ve been hiding it from all of you, claiming she just started talking later than other children.

I thought I could secretly get her treated.”

The Old Lady asked again, “Does Shuxian know?”

“He knows.”

“Foolish!” The Old Lady was so angry that she heavily tapped her walking stick on the ground several times, “Truly foolish!

If that person in the Capital City mansion isn’t pleased, do you think I wouldn’t like the child?

If Qianqian has a defect, treat it early.

What kind of quack doctors have you been consulting!”

Touched to her core, Zhou Zining clenched her teeth, “Grandmother, Qianqian has no defects.

Her intelligence is normal; her speech just hasn’t caught up yet.

She will get better, she will be cured!”

At that moment, she finally looked somewhat like a birth mother.

If she hadn’t shown even that much concern, the Old Lady would have dealt with her that very night.

She glanced at Qianqian, who was still unconscious on the bed, and sighed, “Talking to me for what?

The child is yours; if you don’t care yourself, what can be done by others!”

With those words, she supported herself with her walking stick and left.

Auntie Wu supported her.

Nowadays, the Old Lady didn’t need to use two walking sticks; she could steady herself with just one.

Nan Jiaojiao paid special attention to the Old Lady’s walking strength and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She packed up her acupuncture kit and asked Bo Yanching for some medicinal ingredients.

“I’ll have the butler take you to the storeroom to get them.

Take whatever you want,” he said.

To Bo Yanching’s surprise, Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Aren’t you going to ask what I’m going to make with them?”

Bo Yanching took her hand and played with her fingers, “Jiaojiao, I’m very relieved with you taking care of Qianqian.”

Nan Jiaojiao held on to him, “You stay here.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qianqian will wake up in a while.

Give her this to eat.”

Nan Jiaojiao produced a small ceramic bottle the length of a finger, which contained detox pills she had formulated herself.

One could sell for tens of millions in the market.

She was usually too lazy to make many, and she wouldn’t sell them when she wasn’t short on money.

She broke open a pill, “Half a pill is enough for Qianqian.

Feed her the other half tomorrow night.”

“Okay.”

Bo Yanching assigned a couple of servants to her and called the butler to arrange everything.

Afterward, Nan Jiaojiao headed to the storeroom with them.

All the servants withdrew, leaving only Bo Yanching and Zhou Zining in the room.

At first, she sobbed quietly, her whimpers concealed, but in front of Bo Yanching, she dared not cry openly.

Covering her face, it took her a long time to calm down and wipe her tears clean.

Looking up, her gaze did not fall on Qianqian, but on Bo Yanching.

She tried to plead for herself, “Third brother, I’m a mother.

I worry about Qianqian no less than anyone.

I couldn’t possibly harm her.”

Bo Yanching’s eyelashes drooped, his sharply contoured face stern, “Get out.”

Zhou Zining’s expression stalled, “Third brother, listen to me…”

“Get out.”

Bo Yanching didn’t want to hear another word from her.

Zhou Zining stared at his expressionless face, the sunlight streaming through the window casting a dim shadow on his profile.

His face showed neither joy nor anger, and his thin lips possessed an intimidating coldness.

She knew it wasn’t the time to speak and decided to leave first.

Even the sound of the closing door was very gentle.

Bo Yanching was not affected; he sat by the bed, and from there he sat till night.

Qianqian never woke up.

She slept peacefully, not like other children who like to kick their blankets off.

It seemed she didn’t even have the strength to kick the blankets.

After the pill was administered, it took a long time for the pale face to gradually regain a trace of color, and her breathing became more even.
