I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Upon hearing Xiao Qi's cough, Miss Bella's expression froze instantly.

She froze for two or three seconds, then suddenly looked at the male servant.

The male servant stared wide-eyed, looking equally surprised.

Miss Bella was furious; she was convinced she had been tricked by the male servant!

What did this man say at the time?

He said he used a family secret technique. No one but his family members could undo it.

He also told her that there was no one left in his family, and swore that he was the only one in the world who knew this secret technique.

The results of it?

As a result, Shen Sixi didn't think much about it and pricked Xiao Qi a few times with two needles, and Xiao Qi woke up.

Miss Bella didn't know what acupuncture was; in her opinion, Shen Sixi had just casually stuck a few needles into Xiao Qi.

When Shen Sixi took out the needle, she was secretly laughing at herself. She thought to herself, "Does Shen Sixi think that Xiao Qi is asleep and that pricking her with a needle will wake her up?"

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Qi actually woke up all at once.

Bella was furious inside, but she didn't dare show it.

She pretended to be overjoyed and rushed to Xiaoqi's bedside: "Xiaoqi, you're finally awake! Do you know how worried your aunt was while you were unconscious!"

Miss Bella never married, and Seven is the last person in the world who is connected to her by blood.

Logically, an aunt and niece who depend on each other for survival should have a very good relationship, but that's not the case.

Miss Bella disliked Harper's parents, and by extension, she also disliked Harper, who resembled them.

If it weren't for the fact that Harper's mother left her a fairly substantial inheritance, stipulating in the will that the person who raises Harper until she turns nineteen would receive half of the inheritance, Miss Bella would have sent Harper to an orphanage long ago.

Despite raising Harper, Miss Bella didn't develop any affection for her.

When they lived in the slums, Miss Bella often left Little Seven alone at home without paying any attention to her. Later, when they moved to Old Huang's estate, Miss Bella simply left Little Seven to the servants.

It could be said that Miss Bella was less familiar with Seven than Seven was with the maid.

Therefore, Harper Seven was quite indifferent to Miss Bella's crying.

He frowned and leaned back uncomfortably.

Miss Bella paused in her sobbing, inwardly cursing Little Seven for being ungrateful.

"Xiaoqi, how are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you? You were pricked by a needle earlier, does it hurt where the needle went?"

Shen Sixi had already put away the silver needles and was doing some simple cleaning. Upon hearing this, she gave Miss Bella a cold look.

Miss Bella's face was still swollen, with one side lower than the other, making her look extremely ridiculous.

Old Huang frowned and said, "That's acupuncture."

After speaking, Old Huang looked at Xiao Qi again, and his tone softened considerably when he spoke to her.

"Xiao Qi, this is the sister who saved you. The antidote I gave you before was also made by her."

Old Huang raised his hand and pointed at Shen Sixi. Xiao Qi slowly looked up in the direction Old Huang was pointing.

His eyes were beautiful, yet they held a maturity beyond his years.

"Thank you." His tone was devoid of emotion, and in fact, it contained little gratitude.

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow but did not respond.

Old Huang said to Shen Sixi in Chinese, somewhat awkwardly, "Xiao Qi is a rather introverted child."

Shen Sixi: "Oh."

Shen Sixi didn't care much about his attitude, since Old Master Huang had already given him his thanks.

She was more concerned about what he would do in the future, and she was thinking about how to nip it in the bud.

Should we tie him up?

Shen Sixi seriously considered the feasibility of kidnapping Xiao Qi.

At this moment, Elder Huang asked Shen Sixi, "However, what is the reason for Xiao Qi's coma? Even I can't figure out the problem."

Old Huang was very concerned about this matter and kept thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Over the years, he has rarely made a mistake.

I failed three times in total, and all three times it was with Xiao Qi.

He could let it go the previous two times, but this time he couldn't even figure out the cause of the slight fainting spell.

Old Huang was puzzled and frustrated: "Is Xiao Qi poisoned? Or what happened?"

Miss Bella panicked when she saw Old Huang begin to investigate the reason for Xiao Qi's coma, fearing that she would be implicated.

She quickly said, "Xiao Qi might have just been sleeping too soundly. It's alright, she's awake now, that's all that matters."

Miss Bella wiped away the remaining tears on her face and forced a smile, saying, "Since Xiao Qi is alright now, we won't take up any more of Mr. Huang and this young lady's time."

Bella no longer dared to provoke Shen Sixi and just wanted to get rid of the two of them as soon as possible.

If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time.

Old Huang looked at Miss Bella with puzzlement, thinking she was a bit strange.

Miss Bella then realized that her intention to send them away was too obvious, and quickly said, "Look at me, I forgot everything as soon as Xiao Qi had a problem. You came all this way, and I didn't even have anyone pour you a glass of water. Please come with me, let Xiao Qi continue to rest."

Shen Sixi suddenly said, "Xiao Qi has fallen under a secret spell."

Miss Bella's smile froze.

Elder Huang: "Secret technique?"

Shen Sixi explained simply: "It's similar to hypnosis, a form of mental suggestion. People who are proficient in this kind of secret art can even kill someone with just a few words."

This is outside of Mr. Huang's scope of work, so it's normal that he couldn't see it.

Old Huang was not relieved by the reasonable explanation; his expression changed after hearing Shen Sixi's words.

"Secret technique? My manor has excellent security, and not just anyone can come in. How could Xiao Qi be affected by a secret technique? I'll have someone check the surveillance footage right away to see who has been here in the last few days!"

"I'd like to see who's really openly opposing me!"

"If you're going to oppose me, fine, but if you're so capable, come at me! What kind of skill is it to harm a child!"

Old Huang never considered that the problem lay within; he still thought it was aimed at him.

Many people know that the orphan of the Bella family lives in Huang Lao Manor, and many others know that Huang Lao has devoted all his energy to treating the eyes of Bella's seventh son in recent years.

Old Huang naturally assumed that those people were afraid to offend him, so they targeted the people he had his eye on.

He immediately ordered people to check the surveillance footage.

Seeing this, Miss Bella breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Old Huang didn't suspect her.

Go ahead and check the surveillance footage. She'll find a way to delete a segment. If Old Huang notices that the footage has been deleted, he'll only become more convinced that an outsider has infiltrated the manor.

Miss Bella couldn't help but feel lucky; after this incident, Old Master Huang certainly wouldn't kick them out of the manor anytime soon.

After all, in Huang Lao's mind, Xiao Qi being subjected to a secret technique this time was also due to his involvement.

Miss Bella was thinking this when she suddenly met Shen Sixi's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Miss Bella's heart skipped a beat.

Shen Sixi: "Miss Bella doesn't seem very surprised by this result."

Miss Bella said dryly, "I was terrified. I didn't know such methods existed in the world? To kill someone through psychological suggestion, that's just too horrible."

Miss Bella looked distressed: "Oh, our little Seven is so pitiful. He's still just a child. Because of his poor eyesight, he's hardly ever left the house in the past few years. Who could be so cruel as to hurt him? What grudge could they hold against him?"

Hearing this, Old Huang felt guilty again.

Xiao Qi wouldn't offend anyone; it's all his fault for dragging Xiao Qi down.

Old Huang: "No matter who it is, I will not let them go."

At this moment, Xiaoqi suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the male servant in the corner.
