Summary of the previous chapter: Due to various factors, Ma Xiaoquan did not tell his true identity in the end, nor did he take Liu Xiangxiang away. After leaving Beijing, Ma Xiaoquan immediately rushed back to Caobang...
Hua Yue's expression was serious. Although she had stated that she didn't care about Ma Xiaoquan's affection for Chen Xiaoxiao, Ma Xiaoquan could tell that she did care.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and told Hua Yue about Chen Xiaoxiao's past deeds.
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, Hua Yue was a little surprised and said: "Let me tell you, why are you helping her like this? It turns out..."
Ma Xiaoquan answered: "I just want to help Ma Zhi fulfill a wish. Of course, I am not the real Fourth Master Ma, so I will not fulfill Ma Zhi's wish to marry Chen Xiaoxiao, but Chen Xiaoxiao, too
She is a miserable woman. I am helping her just to give Ma Zhi an explanation. After all, Ma Zhi and Fourth Master Ma are already dead."
Hearing what Ma Xiaoquan said, Hua Yue felt relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. The medicine is ready. Let's go and deliver it to her together."
...
The two of them brought the medicine pot to Chen Xiaoxiao's residence. At this time, Chen Xiaoxiao was playing the piano. When he heard that Master Ma and his wife were coming, he hurriedly went out to greet them.
When the three of them met, Chen Xiaoxiao saw Ma Xiaoquan holding a small medicine pot in his hand, and a wave of warmth suddenly surged into his heart.
"Sir, are you...really asking for medicine for my little girl?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the pot of medicine in his hand and said with a smile: "It's not too late. Madam has also prepared it according to the old doctor's request. Miss Chen, drink it now."
Chen Xiaoxiao took the medicine pot from Ma Xiaoquan's hand, opened the lid, and took a few sips.
"Well, it's still a little hot. Let's cool down before drinking."
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue nodded and followed Chen Xiaoxiao to the hospital.
At this time, Niu San suddenly appeared, holding a handful of flowers in his hand.
During the half month that Ma Xiaoquan was away from Caobang, Niu San would send flowers to Chen Xiaoxiao every day. Chen Xiaoxiao refused to accept them at first, but later she accepted them.
Niu San also knew that although he could not win Chen Xiaoxiao's favor, he would be satisfied if he could meet him.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Niu San holding flowers in his hands and said with a smile: "Niu San, what are you doing holding flowers?"
Niu San quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Sir, Miss Chen likes flowers, so the little one picked them."
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and explained: "Sir, Brother Niu San is a nice person, and I also like these flowers."
"Since Miss Chen likes it, let's stay. Well, Niu San, since you're here too, I think it's better for us to go in together."
Niu San was stunned for a moment. Although he had been sending flowers, he had never entered Chen Xiaoxiao's home since the last time.
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Okay, then let's have dinner at my little girl's place. Well, it's just a simple meal. I hope you don't mind."
Hua Yue smiled and said: "No, Miss Xiaoxiao is too polite..."
When several people entered the small pavilion, the Chen family's maid had already filled the stone table with various snacks. After Ma Xiaoquan sat down, he picked up a piece of cake and tasted it, nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, the snacks are very good."
List but tastes good”
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Well, these are all made of silver flowers. Come out and meet the adults."
"Hey, here we come."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and was shocked: "Isn't this a man's mother-in-law?"
Chen Xiaoxiao waved: "Yinhua, come here."
"yes"
Ma Xiaoquan has seen Yinhua's man-in-law up close. To be honest, this woman looks quite delicate, but because she is taller, has a plump body, and speaks hoarsely, she gives people the illusion that she looks like a man.
.
"Yinhua has met Mr. Ma and met Madam"
Hua Yue nodded: "Get up Yinhua... Well, what a good name. My husband praised the snacks you made. It's not bad, it's very good."
Yinhua was flattered and waved her hands quickly: "It was random, it was done randomly."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Yinhua, don't be too modest. It's a fact that the snacks you make are very good."
Chen Xiaoxiao said: "The little girl thanked Master Ma for the compliment on behalf of Yinhua. Well, Yinhua, you..." Before Chen Xiaoxiao could finish her words, she suddenly covered her chest and collapsed to the ground in pain.
"Master" Yinhua was startled, and was the first one to rush forward and help Chen Xiaoxiao.
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue were also shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Miss Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xiaoxiao covered her chest and said painfully: "I feel very painful and uncomfortable in my chest."
"Is it possible that the disease has recurred?" Hua Yue asked.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's possible, Niu San, please go and ask the doctor to come."
Niu San nodded and stood up and said, "Young man, let's go right away."
...
In the bedroom.
Chen Xiaoxiao lay quietly on the bed without moving, the pain in her chest had made her faint.
Ma Xiaoquan paced back and forth, and an unknown premonition suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Sir, the doctor is here"
Niu San's words brought Ma Xiaoquan back to reality. He looked up and saw that the old doctor had walked to Chen Xiaoxiao's bed and held her wrist.
"It's strange..." the old doctor said with a frown while taking his pulse.
"Doctor, what's wrong with Miss Chen? Is it still the same disease?"
The old doctor shook his head: "Miss Chen's pulse is very weak, more serious than before. It seems to be..."
Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. As if nothing happened, she sat up, interrupted the old doctor's words, and said loudly: "Doctor, wait a minute. Brother Niu San, come here for a moment."
Niu San was stunned for a moment and walked over.
"Come closer"
Niu San was stunned again, what is Miss Chen going to do?
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue also didn't understand why Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly called Niu San, but neither of them tried to stop her request.
Niu San put his ear to Chen Xiaoxiao's mouth, and Chen Xiaoxiao said a few unknown words to him. After listening to Chen Xiaoxiao's words, Niu San hummed and walked out of the bedroom.
Ma Xiaoquan was curious and asked: "Miss Chen, what did you say? Why are you so awesome..."
Chen Xiaoxiao shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just want some flowers, so I asked Brother Niu San to help me pick some. Doctor, am I going to die?"
"What? Are you about to die?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at the old doctor in surprise.
The old man sighed: "Hey, yes, I didn't finish what I said just now. Miss Chen seems to have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue said in unison, looked at each other, and said in unison, "Baweicao?"
Hua Yue hurriedly took out a sprig from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the old doctor: "Doctor, this is the Baiwei grass we requested from Beijing. Can you see what's wrong with it?"
The old man took the grass branch, pinched a little bit, tasted it in his mouth, and then spit it out.
"This is not Baiwei grass," the old man concluded.
"No, what is that?"
"This is the Cortex Cortex, which looks very similar to the Cortex Cortex. The reason why Cortex Cortex is very rare is because it is very similar to the Cortex Cortex, so many people mistakenly believe that the Cortex Cortex is the Cortex Cortex, but just because it looks similar, it doesn't mean it is.
One is a miracle medicine that can cure diseases and save lives, and the other is a poison that can kill people."
Ma Xiaoquan collapsed and sat on the ground, shaking his head, raised his head, and slapped himself hard: "Why did I make a mistake? Why...my fault, it's all mine."
wrong......"
Hua Yue said anxiously: "Doctor, is there any hope?"
The old doctor shook his head: "There is no way to save him. I am incapable of redeeming myself."
Hua Yue hummed and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor, please come back."
The old man sighed, put his medicine box on his back, and left the bedroom.
...
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be sad about taking the poison, but she looked very happy.
"Master Ma, you don't have to blame yourself. My little girl's life is cheap. It's not a pity to die."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao, and said in surprise: "Miss Chen, I..."
Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Actually, even if Mr. Ma brought Baiwei grass, it would not be able to cure my disease."
"Why, isn't it possible?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook his head: "The dose of Baiwei grass required is very large. Just one or two sticks is not enough. Even if Mr. Ma brought real Baiwei grass, it would be in vain."
"Miss Chen, you... do you know Baiwei Cao?"
"Yes, actually I lived quietly in Beijing for several years..."
"How many years? This..."
Chen Xiaoxiao asked Ma Xiaoquan to close the door, and then whispered: "Yes, Master Ma must not know about my daughter, because she rarely goes out..."
Hua Yue was a little angry and said: "Sister Xiaoxiao, we are sincere to you, how can you lie to us?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm sorry, sister Yue, I'm not sincere."
Hua Yue sighed, what else could she say? Chen Xiaoxiao was in a coma from the pain just now, but now she is full of life, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is returning to her former glory.
"Sir, madam, can you sit next to me?"
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue looked at each other, nodded, and sat next to Chen Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, then pulled out a scroll from behind the pillow and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
"What is this?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"You will know when you open it."
Ma Xiaoquan opened the scroll and took a look and was stunned.
Hua Yue came over and took a look, and was also stunned.
"You...how come you have my brother's portrait?" Ma Xiaoquan lied.
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Actually, a few years ago, when I arrived in Beijing, I said I was a widow. In fact, it was all a lie. Of course, my body is indeed unclean..."
Ma Xiaoquan: "..."
"Yeah, but I don't regret it, because I used my body to get a lot of money and the power to be able to pay attention to him all the time..."
