Chapter 62 Inviting Aunt and Uncle to Test the Medicine
The next morning, feeling refreshed, Ye Bai finally arrived at the back hall.
Qin Wanqing followed beside him, her beautiful eyes still filled with coldness.
"Huh? After decocting medicine all night, Aunt and Uncle seem even more energetic?"
Looking at Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, whose eyes were red but whose faces were full of excitement, Ye Bai asked with some doubt.
"Young man, you don't understand. Being able to personally brew medicine for your elders is a sacred thing, so naturally you won't feel sleepy."
Zhao Jianqiang let out a strange laugh, his smugness practically written all over his face.
Qin Yuezhu was less shrewd and asked impatiently, "It's been a whole night, the medicine should be ready by now, right? Why don't you hurry up and take it to the old lady?"
As he spoke, anticipation began to shine through his triangular eyes.
The thought of Old Madam Qin suffering from severe diarrhea after taking Ye Bai's medicine did not evoke any pity in her; instead, she felt an indescribable sense of pleasure!
Serves you right! Who told you to be biased, always taking your granddaughter and grandson-in-law's side!
Qin Yuezhu gritted her teeth, feeling even more jealous and resentful whenever she thought of how Old Madam Qin always protected Qin Wanqing.
When a family has many children, the one in the middle is never favored.
This is also true even in wealthy families.
However, compared to other families, Old Madam Qin was relatively fair, giving her children quite a lot.
Whether or not one can grow and thrive depends entirely on their individual abilities.
Qin Yuezhu was clearly the kind of person who lacked ability, yet she was never satisfied.
In the end, she felt that Old Madam Qin was biased and hadn't given her enough.
So even if the old lady suffers a little today, it's her own fault.
"Let me consider."
Ye Bai smiled, walked to the medicine pot, put on gloves, and carefully took it down.
Qin Wanqing frowned upon seeing this, but after thinking for a moment, she remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang became visibly tense, even subconsciously holding their breath.
Although they had checked several times and found no trace, they still couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Hmm, it looks pretty good, the heat is well controlled."
Fortunately, Ye Bai not only didn't notice anything unusual, but also praised him with satisfaction.
"Of course! We dared not be careless for the sake of the old lady's health! Your third aunt and I didn't dare to sleep all night!"
Zhao Jianqiang and his companion breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away their cold sweat, and laughed.
Are you sure this medicine is really okay?
Seeing that Ye Bai was so easily fooled, Qin Wanqing finally couldn't help but give him a cold reminder.
"Of course! My third aunt and uncle both said it's no problem, so it's definitely no problem. Third aunt and uncle, you agree, right?"
Ye Bai nodded naturally and looked at Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang to ask.
"Absolutely!"
"Wanqing, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that your third aunt's husband and I would tamper with the medicine?"
"Don't forget, the old lady is not only your grandmother, but also my own mother!"
Qin Yuezhu snorted coldly and looked at Qin Wanqing, questioning her with dissatisfaction.
The more guilty you feel, the more you need to pretend to be angry, and you need to raise your voice a few decibels higher than usual.
"Hehe, whether it's true or not, you should know better than anyone else."
Qin Wanqing smiled faintly, still not in a hurry to expose him.
Anyway, the medicine was right in front of her, and as long as she didn't give it to her grandmother, everything would be fine. She didn't mind playing along with these guys for a little longer.
"Qin Wanqing, do you have any conscience? Your third uncle and I stayed up all night. Even if we didn't do anything special, we still put in the effort, right?"
"It's one thing if you don't care about your elders, but to come here and make sarcastic remarks about us?"
"According to you, would we be so heartless as to want to murder the old lady?"
Qin Yuezhu screamed hysterically, her heart filled with panic.
She couldn't help but wonder if there had been some oversight that Qin Wanqing had noticed.
Of course, it's also possible that the other party was deliberately bluffing her.
But no matter what point it is, she can't admit it; she can only try to overwhelm the other party with her aura first.
"Exactly! Wanqing, what you said is too much. You've wasted all the good intentions that I and your third aunt have put in!"
Zhao Jianqiang quickly nodded in agreement, looking even more wronged than Dou E.
No wonder he's a man who keeps several mistresses on the side; his mental fortitude and lying skills are far superior to Qin Yuezhu's.
"Heh, you guys really won't learn your lesson until you're faced with the truth!"
Qin Wanqing, unable to contain her anger any longer due to Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang's poor acting, decided to reveal the truth directly.
But at this moment, Ye Bai glared at her and said unhappily, "Wanqing, stop talking nonsense. How could your third aunt and uncle possibly harm Grandma! At their age, it's not easy for them to brew medicine all night!"
"Xiaobai really understands the hardships we elders face!"
Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang felt an urge to hug Ye Bai and kiss him to express their gratitude, and they began to find each other more agreeable again.
"Ye Bai, you idiot..."
Qin Wanqing was so angry that she almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot.
Even at this point, this fool is still protecting Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, which makes her both angry and disappointed.
She now even regrets believing that this guy could cure her grandmother's illness. With that kind of intelligence, how could he possibly cure her?
A classic case of entrusting the wrong person with a terrible job!
But before she could completely lose her temper, Ye Bai suddenly gave her a wink.
Then, Ye Bai looked at Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang and sighed, "But Aunt and Uncle, we have to understand Wanqing. You both know the bond between her and Grandma. How about this, to prove your filial piety and to put Wanqing at ease, why don't you try the medicine on Grandma first?"
"What do you mean? Drug testing?"
Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang were stunned for a moment, while Qin Wanqing quickly swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Don't worry, Aunt and Uncle. The first dose of medicine I prepared for Grandma is to nourish her body. Others can drink it too, and it will only have benefits and no harm."
"Not only does it nourish yin and kidneys, strengthen yang and improve health, but it also beautifies the skin, delays aging, and so on. Most people wouldn't even have the chance to drink it!"
Ye Bai looked at Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang and smiled.
Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang looked at each other, both almost bursting into tears.
They didn't know if the herbal soup had the benefits Ye Bai had mentioned.
But they were certain that drinking this stuff would definitely cause diarrhea!
"What? Does Aunt and Uncle not want it? Or is it true, as Wanqing suspects, that you tampered with the medicine?"
Seeing Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang hesitating there, Ye Bai slowly frowned as well.
"This……"
Zhao Jianqiang looked at Qin Yuezhu, habitually wanting her to make a decision.
At this point, Qin Yuezhu had no good ideas whatsoever. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and shout, "To prove our innocence, let's drink!"
If she had other options, she certainly wouldn't want to drink it.
But compared to being labeled as unfilial, getting diarrhea is undoubtedly much more worthwhile...
