After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Qin Wanqing said in a deep voice, "You mean, Xiao Taozi belongs to the second rare category?"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Ye Bai's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Not bad!"

It has to be said that sometimes talking to smart people is much easier, because they can draw inferences from one instance to another.

Someone with a small brain like Lulu wouldn't be able to do it; she just sits there with a blank, adorable expression, her clear eyes sparkling with foolishness.

Fortunately, it's my own pet, and there's nothing wrong with it being a little silly and cute.

So Ye Bai didn't keep them in suspense and continued.

"The second, and rarest, situation is that the pregnant woman ingested a harmful or unusual substance during her pregnancy, which then affected the fetus!"

Qin Wanqing frowned and asked, "Alcohol and nicotine?"

Some pregnant women smoke and drink, but she wasn't sure if that former auntie was like that.

But since she's a socialite who likes to flirt with men, it's perfectly understandable that she has these bad habits.

“Smoking and drinking are indeed one of them, but Xiaotao’s weak health is not caused by these.”

Ye Bai shook his head and continued, "She has mercury poisoning."

"Mercury poisoning? You mean the 'mercury' in 'quicksilver'?"

Qin Wanqing opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked.

Ye Bai nodded and said, "Yes, it's that 'mercury'."

Qin Wanqing frowned and said, "Although my former fifth aunt had character issues, she should still be mentally sound. How could she possibly touch something as poisonous as mercury?"

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "It wasn't touched, it was eaten."

"You think my former fifth aunt was a pill refiner..."

Qin Wanqing snorted, about to retort, but then she thought of something, her pretty face suddenly changed, and she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Seeing this, Ye Bai laughed and said, "It seems you've figured it out too. That's right, your former fifth aunt really did eat pills! The specific purpose is unclear for now, but what's certain is that the method of refining those pills is extremely old, exactly the same as the ancient Taoist alchemy methods..."

Qin Wanqing's expression shifted repeatedly as she murmured, "So, that woman started cultivating Taoism before she even gave birth to Xiao Taozi? She was lying after all!"

"Well, I'm afraid you'll have to figure that out yourself. I'll detoxify Xiaotaozi first. You should be grateful you met me, otherwise your little cousin wouldn't have lived to be ten."

Ye Bai shook his head and asked Shen Lu to bring him paper and pen. He then began to write down the prescription.

Mercury poisoning is no small matter, especially since this type of mercury poisoning is different from the common type.

In addition, Xiao Taozi is too young, and has not received treatment for so many years. The toxins in her body and blood have long since become completely integrated, making it difficult to eradicate completely.

This is one of the reasons why no problems were found when I went to the hospital for a checkup.

After Shen Lu brought back the medicinal herbs, Ye Bai went to the back hall to get busy again.

The equipment used to prepare medicine for Old Madam Qin came in handy once again.

This led Ye Bai to develop a somewhat strange idea: after arriving at the Qin family, he first cured Qin Wanqing, then saved the life of Old Madam Qin, and now he was going to treat Xiao Taozi. It could be said that he had helped three generations of people, young and old.

If we add another "中" (zhong), it will be completely perfect.

He came to the Qin family not as a son-in-law, but as a private doctor.

Fortunately, he was not averse to it. Under the old master's teachings, Ye Bai developed a strong interest in healing the sick and saving lives, and even loved it.

The sense of accomplishment and joy that comes with curing a patient is incomparable to anything else.

"Young master, young master, do you think Little Peach's mother might be that 'flower-picking demoness'?"

While Ye Bai was decocting the medicine, Shen Lu suddenly leaned over and whispered mysteriously.

Ye Bai was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly connect them?"

Shen Lu said, "It's very simple. Little Peach's mother has an immoral lifestyle and practices Taoism by taking pills. Doesn't that fit the bill perfectly?"

Then the young girl added, "Young master, think about it, what normal person would take poisonous pills for no reason? That would be insane!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai felt an urge to burst into tears, wanting to say, "You're so smart, what you said makes so much sense!"

Thinking about it carefully, the situation Shen Lu described might not be impossible.

But what did the Qin family do to deserve this mess? They always seem to get involved in all sorts of messy things.

By noon, Qin Shengtu had finally returned to the Qin family home.

Seeing that Xiao Taozi was safe and sound and could even play on the ground, the fifth son of the Qin family, who was known for his gloomy and ruthless personality, actually had tears in his eyes and almost burst into tears.

From this perspective, even the most ruthless and ruthless tyrants have a soft spot in their hearts.

For Qin Shengtu, Xiao Taozi was clearly the one he cared about the most.

However, given the womanizing nature of that "former Fifth Aunt," is it certain that Little Peach is Qin Laowu's biological daughter?

Looking at the happy father and son, Ye Bai's expression suddenly became strange.

These days, mothers can definitely tell if a child is their own, but it's hard to say for fathers.

At this thought, Ye Bai seemed to see a green light emanating from the top of Qin Shengtu's head.

However, Ye Bai figured he was probably overthinking it.

Paternity testing is not complicated nowadays, especially in wealthy families where it is extremely common.

Without this method, it would be impossible to determine whether those illegitimate children who have been born out of wedlock actually possess the bloodline of a wealthy family.

So either Qin Shengtu had already done it, or he didn't want to do it.

Regardless of the reason, Ye Bai doesn't need to worry about it.

"Xiaobai, Wanqing, thank you so much this time. If you want anything, just tell your fifth uncle. As long as it's within his power, he will never refuse!"

After playing with Xiao Taozi for a while, Qin Shengtu walked up to Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing and said in a deep voice.

"Little Peach is my younger sister. I was just doing what an older sister should do."

Qin Wanqing shook her head, her attitude remaining indifferent.

It cannot be ruled out that Qin Shengtu is the mastermind behind her paralyzed legs, and the two sides have been at odds for so many years, so she really has nothing to say to him.

She would never do something like taking advantage of someone's kindness to get something in return.

"It was just a small favor, Uncle, you don't need to be so polite."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head.

Qin Laowu may be a good father, but he is definitely not a good person.

It's practically impossible to get them to switch sides based on this one incident alone, so Ye Bai didn't bother to make any demands.

When a child gets sick, he will definitely not sit idly by.

Whether or not she was Qin Shengtu's daughter had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Being able to use this opportunity to make Qin Laowu owe someone a favor is already considered to have achieved its goal.

Moreover, after learning about those circumstances, Ye Bai was no longer very interested in this fifth uncle, but his interest in his flirtatious ex-wife grew stronger.

Is it really appropriate to just ask someone's ex-wife where she is now?
