Chapter 54: Innate Cold Poison

His tone was far from gentle, and his face was still dark, but his attitude had improved significantly.

Bo Qingshan’s eyes were like shining, bright light bulbs, fixed on Nan Jiaojiao without even the slightest diversion of his gaze.

“Pretty sister, hello, my name is Bo Qingshan, Bo as in Bo Yanching’s Bo, and Qingshan just like the green mountain.

Because I was frail and sickly since childhood, Grandma gave me this name, hoping the mountain’s weight would suppress it.

I’m eight years old, currently not attending school.

My uncle hired me a private tutor, oh right, and my height…”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at him impatiently and asked Pei Dongshi, “Is he mentally ill?”

Pei Dongshi: “…”

Can you not ask so impolitely?

Bo Qingshan was in high spirits, but the moment the pretty sister spoke, he clammed up.

His hands curled into fists and fidgeted on his lap as he blinked and said, “No, it’s not that my brain’s sick, it’s illness inside my body.”

Pointing at his chest, Bo Qingshan wanted to talk about the hidden cold poison in his body, but he couldn’t clearly explain what it was, so he turned to Bo Yanching for help.

However, his uncle didn’t even give him a glance.

He looked down at his phone, pressed a few buttons, then called Xu Shu’s number, and after a brief conversation, he turned on the speakerphone and passed it to Nan Jiaojiao.

“Xu Shu, Qingshan’s primary doctor, he will talk to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t look up, just focusing on the man’s elegantly slender fingers.

As she reached for the phone, Bo Yanching let go, as if he didn’t want to make any contact with her.

Even though his hands were supporting her waist just last night, while he affectionately called her “Little Treasure.”

Nan Jiaojiao suppressed the frustration in her heart and said indifferently, “Please speak.”

Xu Shu choked for a moment, looked down at his phone to check; if Bo Yanching hadn’t spoken to him in advance, he almost thought he’d answered the wrong call.

Whose little girl is this, with a tone more arrogant than Master Bo’s?

He recounted Bo Qingshan’s condition, and at the end, wanted to ask about her relationship with Bo Yanching, but she had already ended the call.

Not wasting even half a word.

Nan Jiaojiao listened absentmindedly, her expression unchanged throughout.

She had already grasped the general idea of Bo Qingshan’s condition when she saved him in Lu Zhenzhen’s car last time; she was always short on patience and too lazy to even pretend.

With a stretch of her hand, Pei Dongshi put a roll of black fabric in her palm.

Nan Jiaojiao pinched a corner and unfolded it deftly, revealing a row of neatly arranged acupuncture needles.

“Take off your clothes.”

Bo Qingshan giggled dumbly, looking at Nan Jiaojiao with delight.

It wasn’t until Nan Jiaojiao frowned at him that he realized she was speaking to him.

Without a second word, he stripped off his clothes.

If the Bo Family were here, they would be shocked beyond belief; Qingshan was even more fastidious than Bo Yanching.

Not to mention taking off his clothes, no one in the Bo Family had the fortune of even seeing him bare his thighs.

Nan Jiaojiao sanitized the needles.

She inserted one needle each at the Dazhui Point, Zusanli Point, and the Guanyuan Point.

She glanced at Bo Qingshan’s wrist where the scar was already faded.

Nan Jiaojiao, holding a small dagger that she had heated over fire, took Bo Qingshan’s hand to bleed him.

“Have you considered the consequences of that cut?” Bo Yanching said coldly.

Without even a tremor in her hand, Nan Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at Bo Yanching with a brooding gaze, her frown deepening.

“His cold poison isn’t congenital.

There’s a chronic poison in his body.

Have you ever detected it?”

Bo Yanching’s eyes narrowed sharply, “Poison?”

“Master…” Nan Jiaojiao unconsciously started to call him brother but corrected herself at the last moment, “Master.”

Pei Dongshi leaned in to hear her whisper a few words in his ear before personally checking Bo Qingshan’s pulse.

His expression changed dramatically.
