As soon as I saw Qi Zhou.

The wrinkles on her face that showed signs of time were all revealed by her smile.

"You finally came to see me! I have been expecting you."

Qi Zhou walked quickly to her side and supported her, with an apologetic smile on his face, he explained: "I'm sorry, Madam Ji, I'm quite busy these days."

Upon hearing her address, Madam Ji immediately became unhappy.

She pouted like a child and complained, "Why are you calling me old lady again, kid?"

Qi Zhou called her "Grandma" again, and only then did she feel satisfied.

The two of them walked towards the inner courtyard together, completely ignoring Ji Xuhe who had been standing behind Qi Zhou.

It was Qi Zhou who remembered him. He turned around, smiled and said, "Brother He, hurry up and catch up."

Ji Xuhe's heart, which was originally a little depressed, was instantly comforted when he heard that Qi Zhou had not forgotten him.

The corners of his thin lips were slightly raised, like early summer petals swaying gently in the breeze.

Gently responded: "Yeah."

After dinner, Madam Ji and Qi Zhou sat in the hall and chatted about family matters.

"Oh Qi Zhou, your tea-making skills are obviously professional. The tea you brew is fragrant, sweet, and leisurely. I don't know how much you have suffered since childhood to have so many skills."

As he was talking, he seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed Qi Zhou's hand, looked her up and down, and asked her anxiously.

"By the way, are you okay? Last time, when you helped someone detoxify a snake! I watched your live broadcast at that time, and it was only after Xu He said that you were fine that I felt relieved."

Feel her caring words and distressed eyes.

Qi Zhou's eyes curved slightly, showing his concern for her.

"I'm fine. As for you, I'll check your body again to see if you've fully recovered."

As a result, she found the problem after checking.

Her hand on Madam Ji's pulse remained motionless, but her brows were furrowed more and more.

The whole little face became serious.

Seeing her expression, Ji Xuhe felt a little worried.

What's going on here?

Is there something wrong with grandma's health again?

He didn't dare to interrupt her diagnosis and just stood aside, staring at her closely.

After another five minutes, Qi Zhou withdrew his hand.

He looked at the two of them with a serious expression and told them the results of his examination.

"I just checked grandma's pulse and found that there is another toxin in her body."

And the poison was recently administered, not through food.

But through skin contact.

Butler Li: "What? Are you telling the truth?"

After hearing this result, the person who was the most upset was Butler Li.

He is in charge of almost all matters big and small at home.

How could this happen?

Moreover, today the talents from Ji’s Hospital have examined the old lady with precise instruments.

Those doctors clearly said there was nothing unusual.

Li Guanjia

Speak out the doubts in your heart.

"But the doctors who examined the old lady today said that she is now very healthy."

Madam Ji cooperated and said, "I don't feel any discomfort in my body."

"After being poisoned, there is no reaction as usual, which is the power of the poison, and ordinary doctors cannot detect it at all.

“It has a very appropriate name called ‘dragon slayer’, which was often used to kill kings in ancient times.

"If you come into contact with the 'Dragon Killer' for a long time, one day you will suddenly experience heart palpitations and die without anyone noticing."

After she explained it this way, everyone understood.

In ancient times, regicide was basically carried out silently, which also indirectly shows the viciousness of this poison.

Even the imperial physician couldn’t find out what was wrong.

Ji Xuhe's mind was a mess at this moment.

I don’t know who wants to kill grandma.

He asked her anxiously, "Zhou Zhou, can you help grandma detoxify?"

"Of course, but old lady, can you tell me your movements during this period? I need to find out where the poison came from, otherwise you might be poisoned repeatedly."

She reminded him, "This poison cannot be taken or inhaled. It will cause poisoning as long as it comes into contact with the skin."

Madam Ji thought about it carefully before speaking slowly: "I usually stay in the restaurant, garden, hall, bedroom and toilet. I never go out."

Qi Zhou nodded and asked Ji Xuhe to take her to the places the old lady mentioned.

Ji Xuhe walked hurriedly in front.

Hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

Qi Zhou could see that he was now confused.

She took a step forward and grabbed his wrist.

He comforted her, "Brother He, I'm here, nothing will happen to grandma, let's catch the murderer together."

Hear her gentle soothing words.

Ji Xuhe came back to his senses and calmed his confused mind.

I was really panicked.

He is usually very calm and composed, so why does he act so stupid at such moments?

"Thank you." He thanked her and they smiled at each other.

Qi Zhou questioned the system.

[System, can you scan for the presence of poison?]

The small system pursed its lips in the space and explained in a depressed tone.

System: [No, host. Right now, we can only scan people and animals. I don’t know if we can do that after we upgrade.]

[All right. ]

It seems that I can only rely on myself for this matter.

Skin contact.

The first thing that comes to mind is clothes and pants, and the bedroom is the most suspicious place.

She immediately looked around the closet but found nothing wrong.

She walked around the room again and again, and looked at almost everything that could come into contact with the skin.

Finally, his eyes focused on the pillow where Old Madam Ji usually slept.

Qi Zhou leaned his head close to the pillow and sniffed it again and again.

It was determined to be the source of the toxin.

Afterwards, he returned to the hall with Ji Xuhe and told them the truth.

"Are you suspicious of anyone, Granny?"

She shook her head, and seeing that everyone seemed in a bad mood, she smiled in a relaxed manner.

He consoled her: "It's okay. You are still here. Just come visit me often in the future."

Qi Zhou nodded.

After telling her that I would come over to treat her tomorrow night, I left.

After they left, Madam Ji's expression changed immediately, as if she had turned back into the energetic Sun Furong who fought side by side with her husband in her youth.

Sun Furong is Madam Ji’s real name.

She is also a woman from a large family and has considerable abilities.

After Ji Xuhe's grandfather and father disappeared one after another, she was the only one who supported the Ji family.

It was not until the last time that he was forced to call Ji Xuhe back to manage the family business.

If she hadn't been in poor health, she could have continued to take care of the business for another two years.

Maybe we can let Ji Xuhe play for another two years.

Her ability is unquestionable.

After her illness was cured, she thought she could finally enjoy her old age in peace and quiet.

But from the looks of it, there are still people who don't want to live a stable life.

Sun Furong took a sip of the already cold tea.

He looked into the distance with sharp eyes and said something to Butler Li.

Butler Li agreed and hurried down to make arrangements.
