The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Ji Yan raised her eyebrows high and gently shattered the last glimmer of hope in Huo Ting's heart.

"This poison is no ordinary substance."

"If I remember correctly, it can only be bought on the black market, and the price is not low."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ting clenched his fist instantly, his neatly trimmed fingertips digging deeply into his palm!

Someone actually dared to poison and murder his mother right under his nose in the Prime Minister's residence!

That's incredibly audacious!

Huo Ting sneered and asked the steward behind him, "Have any new servants joined the household recently?"

The butler pondered for a moment and said:

"Master, we only add servants to the household every two years, so it's not time to add any new ones yet."

"It just so happens that I checked the roster of servants in the manor yesterday and found nothing unusual."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ting's lips curled into an even more sarcastic smile, and he coldly said, "Immediately seal off the Prime Minister's residence and forbid anyone from entering or leaving!"

"yes!"

After Huo Ting finished giving his instructions, Qiao Wan pulled A Ning aside and asked:

"Dr. Ji, may you now administer acupuncture to the old lady?"

Ji Yan nodded slightly: "Of course."

After saying that, he asked for pen and ink, wrote down a prescription, and handed it over.

"Prepare a dose of medicine according to this prescription. The amount of each medicine should be exactly as I wrote down, without any deviation. Boil five bowls of water down to one bowl, and then have the old lady drink it."

Yingxia quickly stepped forward, took the prescription, and curtsied. "Thank you, divine doctor. I'll get right away."

Ji Yan nodded, and just as he raised his hand to pinch A Ning's cheek, seeing A Ning's "Don't come any closer!" expression, he chuckled and withdrew his hand, bending down to smile at A Ning:

"Father is going to give Grandma Aning acupuncture now. Aning, please go with Mother and wait for a while, okay?"

Ah Ning blinked and nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

"Ah Ning knows that as long as Uncle Gu takes action, there's no patient he can't cure!"

Seeing the little guy's smug and proud look, Ji Yan chuckled: "Exaggeration."

After saying that, he turned to Qiao Wan and Huo Ting and said, "Gentlemen, after the acupuncture is finished, I will inform you of the old lady's specific condition."

"Just leave someone to assist me."

Qiao Wan nodded solemnly: "Dr. Ji, I'm entrusting this to you."

After saying that, she took Ah Ning's hand and walked outside.

After the others left, Rong Xiu stayed behind on her own initiative.

She closed the door, took a few steps forward, clenched her hands somewhat helplessly, and looked worried. "Divine Physician, is there anything this servant can do for you?"

Ji Yan saw through her helplessness and embarrassment at a glance, and said gently:

"Don't be shy, you can help. Just do as I say."

"First, take off the old lady's coat and roll up the sleeves to her elbows."

"Yes!" Rong Xiu responded and hurriedly stepped forward to do as instructed.

Outside, Qiao Wan, along with A Ning, and Huo Ting stood guard on either side of the door.

There was absolutely no communication between them.

Ah Ning opened her clear eyes and scanned back and forth between Qiao Wan and Huo Ting. Seeing that the two of them were silent and seemed unhappy, she obediently stood aside without saying a word.

That's strange, sir.

Don't you get bored just standing there without saying a word?

Ah Ning was caught in the middle and felt very uncomfortable...

The three of them turned around at the same time only when the door behind them was pushed open.

Ah Ning's legs were numb. She turned too far and lost her footing, falling forward.

Fortunately, Qiao Wan reacted quickly and grabbed her, preventing her from hitting her face on the threshold...

Ah Ning steadied herself, not even having time to check if her clothes were dirty, and asked anxiously:

"Grandpa Gu!"

"How is Grandma? Is she awake?"

Ji Yan shook his head slightly, but his expression remained calm.

"Don't worry."

Fortunately, the person who poisoned him didn't dare use too much poison. Even though so many days have passed, the poisoning is not severe, and the toxins have not penetrated his internal organs.

"I have already used acupuncture to expel the toxins, so Madam Huo should be fine."

He paused, then glanced at Rong Xiu behind him, and said:

"As for the remaining toxins in her body, I have written a new prescription for her. After she finishes today's medicine, she should start taking the medicine according to the new prescription tomorrow. She should be able to completely expel the remaining toxins in three days."

"That's wonderful!" Aning was overjoyed. "Aning really hopes Grandma can get better soon! I haven't heard Grandma tell stories for several days."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yingxia walked steadily over carrying a bowl of dark medicine.

"Sir, Madam, the medicine is ready!"

Ah Ning instantly pinched her nose, holding her breath, a muffled sound rolling out from her throat—

"It stinks!"

"It smells terrible and tastes bitter!"

"Father Gu, don't you have any medicine that's not so bitter? Grandmother hates bitter things the most!"

Ji Yan resisted the urge to tap him on the head, and shook his head helplessly:

"You, you, the one who hates bitterness, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning covered her nose and chuckled twice, whispering, "Ah Ning just doesn't want Grandmother to suffer!"

Rongxiu took the medicine bowl from Yingxia's hands, picked up a spoon, and carefully fed the old lady little by little.

The thick, almost black medicine moistened the old lady's dry lips considerably.

After drinking a bowl of extremely bitter medicine, the old lady slowly opened her eyes after only a short while...

"Mother!" Huo Ting rushed to the bedside immediately, his expression worried. "You're finally awake!"

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

The old lady blinked slowly, her dim yellow eyes sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Ji Yan, who had a head of white hair.

"Who is this...?"

doctor?

The Divine Healer, Master Gu Gu?

Another godfather to Aning?

Or what is his/her identity?

Huo Ting's mind went blank for a moment, unsure how to begin the introduction.

After only a brief pause, Qiao Wan stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Mother, this is the Divine Physician Master Gu, who is also Aning's godfather, Ji Yan."

"..." The words "godfather" completely touched a taut string in Huo Ting's mind.

Almost as soon as Qiao Wan finished speaking, he snorted coldly and his dark eyes fell on A Ning.

Ah Ning stared at him blankly, not understanding what was going on.

Qiao Wan completely ignored his minor tantrums and continued, her eyes glued to the screen:

"A few days ago you suddenly fell into a coma, so we wrote to invite Physician Ji to come and treat you."

"You've been unconscious for five whole days. Your awakening is all thanks to Physician Ji..."

After she finished her introduction, Ji Yan nodded politely to the old lady.

"I have long admired General Huo's name."

"It is my honor to treat you."

Just one sentence made the old lady laugh.

"Since you are my savior, there is no need to be so polite."

"The title of 'General' and such is from decades ago. I'm just an old lady who gets sick easily now. Just call me by my normal name."

After speaking, she sat up with Rong Xiu's help, her gaze falling on Qiao Wan again. She sighed deeply and said:

"Qiao Wan".

"Are you aware that someone is deliberately framing you?"
