CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127 SECRET RECIPE FOR CHINESE MEDICINE PILLS?

"Are you crazy?"

Tang Xiaowan looked shocked as she clung to Cheng Shi’s arm, trying to leave, but she couldn’t budge him.

"What are you doing, do you have a death wish?"

As she spoke, Tang Xiaowan continued to pull on Cheng Shi, panic filling her wide almond eyes.

"Miss, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken rashly out of impulse, and I definitely shouldn’t have overstepped by drinking your porridge. I’ll punish myself by running 10 kilometers tonight to apologize to Young Master Zihan."

Meanwhile, a glance from the man swept over them.

Tang Xiaowan got the hint and immediately let go, "It’s good that you realize your mistake, make sure it doesn’t happen again."

"Yes, Miss, I’m going out now."

In less than two minutes, Li Zihan found it both laughable and excessive, feeling that Tang Xiaowan and her servant were both too literal over a simple matter.

Before Tang Xiaowan could collect her thoughts, Madam Lai had come down the stairs, holding a miniature detector in her hand.

"Xiaowan, it’s all my fault, I forgot you are from Qingcheng and likely afraid of cold. Don’t go to school today. Stay at home and recover well, I’ll make you some soup to nourish you properly."

"Thank you, Auntie, I’m already fine now."

Tang Xiaowan smiled broadly, but inside she was worried about Cheng Shi.

Is he really okay? I only had a couple of sips and threw up. He had a whole bowl! Was his signaling not to interfere, or does he have a unique body that is immune to poishttps://studio.unbabel.com/app/tms/227456/machine_translations_categories/?

Impossible, there can’t be anyone immune to all poisons in this world. Maybe the lean meat porridge was really okay, and I just caught a chill, not poison.

"Be good, listen to Auntie, stay at home. It’s more convenient this way..."

Madam Lai was still earnestly persuading at that moment, but Tang Xiaowan felt dizzy and didn’t want to listen anymore.

So, she decisively cut the Gordian knot.

"Really, it’s not needed, thank you, Auntie. I just transferred schools and I don’t want to take a leave for a trivial matter as it will cause classmates to gossip behind my back. I feel this is not good for my studies."

Madam Lai felt a pang in her heart when she heard the words ’gossip behind my back’.

She had extensive experience in this matter.

Consequently, Madam Lai grasped Tang Xiaowan’s hand firmly, comforting her with a determined look, "Don’t worry, with your aunt here to support you, no one will dare to say anything anymore. Stay at home and recover, and go back to class when you’re better."

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

Seeing this, Li Zihan quickly stepped in and took Madam Lai’s arm, "Mom, please don’t be harsh on Xiaowan. If you keep this up, you might really scare her away. If my brother can’t find her later, he’d go mad."

"Is it that serious? Oh well, alright then. Later, I’ll have Nanny Wu prepare some medicine and snacks to take with you. Come back quickly if you feel unwell, does that work for you, Xiaowan?"

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Then you two chat, I’m going upstairs now."

Once Madam Lai had left, Tang Xiaowan let out a long sigh of relief.

The dining room finally quieted down, and Li Zihan continued his breakfast while Tang Xiaowan exchanged messages with Cheng Shi using her cellphone.

"Are your eyes and hearing okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere, did you throw up the moment you went out?"

"I’m fine, Miss, you don’t need to worry."

The night of the attack, Tang Xiaowan experienced abnormalities in her hearing and vision less than two minutes after being poisoned, which made her so concerned for Cheng Shi.

"It’s good you’re okay, I was terrified earlier. How could you be so foolish to drink an entire bowl?"

"That porridge definitely had issues. Miss, you have a naturally sensitive olfaction, differing from ordinary people, which must have made you detect something, so you only took a tiny sip, right?"

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

A highly sensitive sense of smell, different from ordinary people?

No wonder then, I thought there was a strange smell in the medicine. Li Zishen insisted it was nothing, but it turns out he indeed didn’t smell it, only I could.

"Yes, that’s right, but why aren’t you affected after taking so much, and I ended up throwing up so badly?"

"I have secret Chinese Medicine Pills, so I’m fine. As for why Miss threw up, it might be because the medicine you’ve recently taken doesn’t mix well with something in that porridge, inadvertently helping to expel toxins from your system."

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

Secret Chinese Medicine Pills? Such a tacky name!

Who came up with it, it sounds terrible!

Wait, these pills can actually...

"Suddenly I remember, the night we were attacked, someone stuffed some Chinese Medicine Pills into my mouth, and later my hearing and vision recovered. So, it was you, were you the one who carried me into the Mei Garden secret passage?"

"It was me, I’m sorry, I returned too late, causing the Miss to get hurt."

So, it was you all along!

But, why didn’t you say it before?

Do I really have to bring it up myself before you say anything?

"It’s alright, I don’t blame you, I know you did your best, but there’s something I need you for later..."

"Miss, rest assured, two hours is enough."

Li Zihan, seeing Tang Xiaowan engrossed in her phone, which implied she had relaxed, put down his chopsticks and mischievously approached.

"Hey, got a new phone again? My brother really treats you well. If I remember correctly... this must be the third one, right?"

Tang Xiaowan looked up and gave a foolish smile, hurriedly stuffing the black phone into her bag and then pulling out the white one Li Zishen had given her.

Her movements were as quick as though performing a magic
