Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

"I'm awake, I'm glad I woke up..."

Just the name made Ning Heyuan's eyes red. This was the only nephew-grandson he had left.

A Yan slowly laid Ye Lingche flat, and Ning Heyuan slowly helped to pull out the needle.

Exhausted, Ye Lingche could only stare at Ning Heyuan and asked hoarsely, "Where are Rong Le and the others?"

A Yan helped answer: "My wife bought some cakes and they are eating them together now."

"Pastry..." Ye Lingche murmured, suddenly anxious, "Poison... can't eat it..."

Ning Heyuan held him down and said, "Ayan followed us all the way and didn't see her poisoning her. Keep your voice down; they don't know you're awake yet."

Ye Lingche's eyes were red as he watched Ning Heyuan remove the needles one by one. Then he said in a tearful voice, "Oh, my leg won't heal..."

When Ye Lingche was first rescued, he was still conscious. He heard the doctor say that his leg was beyond saving. His heart sank at that moment...

If he didn't have things to do and wanted to help raise his three children, he really wanted to give up his life.

Ning Heyuan sighed deeply and said softly, "I'll find a way to deal with your legs later. There will always be a way to make you walk, but the most important thing now is to help you get rid of the poison in your body."

Ye Lingche was stunned: "Poison?"

"It's probably a poison unique to Tianxuan Country, called Mizong. You can't even tell when you're poisoned at first, but it will gradually spread to your internal organs. If the poison isn't suppressed within seven days, the victim will die within two months."

Ning Heyuan added, "It must be because the doctor who treated you before was very skilled and helped you suppress the poison, so now I have the opportunity to force it out for you."

After hearing his description, Ye Lingche's expression froze: "The doctor who examined me before didn't realize I was poisoned. He didn't even prescribe me any medicine."

The other two were both shocked, and A Yan expressed his guess: "Could it be... Madam?"

Ye Lingche didn't dare to admit it. When Ning Heyuan said that he was poisoned by the poison from Tianxuan Country, he immediately suspected that Bai Sui'an had noticed his purpose and poisoned him.

But now they say that it might be Bai Sui'an who stabilized the toxicity for him, which doesn't make sense.

"No matter if it was her or not, I was poisoned by the Tianxuan Kingdom, and she would probably suspect me." Ye Lingche said.

Ning Heyuan shook his head: "Not necessarily. I talked to that girl when I came here. It sounded like she cared about you and Rong Le. It was she who revealed your illness when she went to Cheng Xu to sell the goods, so I was able to rush over to treat you."

"She went to Feiyun Department Store?" Ye Lingche frowned, "Doesn't that mean..."

"Nothing was revealed. She just happened to be raising money to find a doctor for you. Cheng Xu asked me to come and see you under the pretext of helping pay the medical fees. She also bought pens, ink, paper, and inkstone for Rong Le. I just heard her say that she was going to use the money she saved to send Rong Le to school."

Ning Heyuan smiled as he talked about these things, "This girl is really kind-hearted now."

Ayan nodded in agreement: "And the little prince and the others are very close to her, it doesn't seem fake."

What the two said made Ye Lingche feel dangerous.

Ye Lingche said sternly, "I'm afraid he was tricked."

He knew in his heart that he had rescued Bai Sui'an and kept her by his side in order to wait for her to relax and contact the remnants of the Tianxuan Kingdom so that he could follow the clues to his brother.

Therefore, he was only polite to Bai Sui'an on the surface, and never did anything ambiguous that would cause Bai Sui'an to misunderstand.

Women are respected in Tianxuan Country. Bai Sui'an is domineering by nature. How could he possibly care about the people in this family?

"There's still some poison in your body. I'll prescribe some medicine and have A Yan prepare it and send it over later. I'll come and use acupuncture to draw out the poison every seven days. Your lucidity will get longer and longer. Once the poison is completely eliminated, you'll be as energetic as usual."

Ning Heyuan traced the tip of Ye Lingche's nose. Even if his eyes blurred a little, he could see the same eyebrows and eyes as his deceased niece. His heart was filled with tenderness.

"Even with such a long beard, you still look like your mother."

Ye Lingche's head was still confused. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ning Heyuan, muttering: "I haven't seen her yet..."

"Go to sleep, good boy. Even if the sky falls, the Ning family will support you."

Ning Heyuan patted Ye Lingche's chest gently again and again until he fell into a deep sleep, then he stopped.

A Yan helped him pack up the medicine box and said, "Sir, I haven't asked His Highness who was behind the plot."

"They were all poisoned by the Tianxuan Nation. It must be related to the Tianxuan Nation." Ning Heyuan stroked his beard and hesitated, "But I can't guarantee that it was Bai Sui'an who did it. I'm very good at judging people. She shouldn't know anything about it."

"We've only met for less than half a day, but your heart has already started to wander." A Yan said with a smile.

Ning Heyuan shook his head: "She won't harm A Che and stays by A Che's side, so I should be on her side."

The two of them took their things and went out, and Bai Sui'an waved to them from the courtyard.

"Thank you both for your hard work. It's getting dark. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

Lin Rongle set the table and the three children sat together, all looking towards Ning Heyuan.

Ning Heyuan looked back at A Yan, smiled and nodded, then walked over together.

"Okay, I can talk to you about your condition while we eat."

The two of them had originally wanted to find out about the Lin family's situation. Now that they were having a dinner party and the children were present, it was more convenient to ask.

There were three dishes on the table: braised fish, steamed shrimps and clams, and stir-fried wild vegetables.

There is also a small bowl of sauce for dipping the shrimp.

According to Bai Sui'an's description, Lin Yashu also fried some minced garlic in oil and poured it on the clam meat.

Before he started eating, Ning Heyuan smelled the garlic aroma wafting from the steamed shrimps and clams, which was very attractive.

"What is this? I haven't seen it anywhere else?" Ning Heyuan asked, pointing at the shrimp.

"This is shrimp. I discovered it by chance. You can eat it by cutting off the head and removing the shell. If the taste is light, you can also dip it in sauce." Bai Sui'an explained.

Lin Rongkang stood up, stretched out his hand, grabbed a shrimp, and began to peel the shell: "Uncle Grandpa, look at me!"

The little guy had short fingers, and he imitated Bai Sui'an's behavior by the river today, picking open the shrimp shell bit by bit to reveal the pink meat inside. Then he grabbed the head, ate it in one bite, and threw away the shrimp head.

Ning Heyuan was amused by what he saw and dragged a wooden stool to sit next to Lin Rongkang. "That's amazing! You ate it before I even saw it clearly? I'll try it too. Can you teach me?"

"it is good!"

Lin Rongkang stood up again, stretched out both hands, grabbed a shrimp each, and gave one to Ning Heyuan.

The little guy imitated the tone Lin Yashu used when teaching him, and said word by word: "Come, Grandpa, learn from me!"

Ning Heyuan smiled and said, "Okay, but you better go slower."

Bai Sui'an looked at the interaction between the old man and the child, smiled and shook his head.

In fact, how fast could Lin Rongkang's short hands be? It was just Ning Heyuan's trick to coax children, but it worked very well on Lin Rongkang. He was afraid that the old man would learn slowly, so he shared the shrimps he had peeled with the old man.

Ning Heyuan was flattered, but he still took the bowl and laughed non-stop: "Hey, thank you for giving grandpa the shrimp. How can there be such a cute and sensible little kid!"

In his early years, Ning Heyuan practiced medicine outside and spent the first half of his life in medicine. After leaving the imperial city for a long time, he returned and found that his brother had a family and children.

His nephews and nieces are cute and he likes them very much.

I have thought about getting married, but in the end I couldn't find someone I liked, so I could only play with my nephews and nieces at my brother's house.

He treated his brother's children as his own, but in the end, the children grew up, his nephew joined the army, and his niece became the Crown Princess...

Things and people have changed, and a family has broken up. In the end, even the next generation’s family is difficult to put together.
