464 Flawless Plan
“It’s fine. I want to do something for Sister Wu. If you need any help, just tell me.”
As Xu Jiao spoke, she picked up the ladle and was about to stir it when Mrs. Tong’s expression changed slightly. She went forward and quietly snatched the ladle.
“Miss Jiao, you can’t do that. This is what we servants should do. You’re delicate. Leave this to me.”
Xu Jiao held the ladle tightly and said with a smile, “It’s fine, Mrs. Tong. I just wanted to see if the medicine was ready.”
Mrs. Tong also grabbed the ladle and said firmly, “That won’t do. Young Master asked me to keep an eye on the pot. If I mess it up, I might harm Miss Wu!”
When Xu Jiao heard that, a trace of gloominess instantly flashed across her eyes. Her gaze landed on the pot and she gritted her teeth. When Mrs. Tong was stirring the pot, she deliberately leaned close to the edge of the boiling pot.
She exclaimed and gasped. In an instant, tears flowed down Xu Jiao’s face as she muttered softly, “It hurts!”
Mrs. Tong thought that she had accidentally scalded Xu Jiao and immediately felt bad. She said apologetically, “Miss Jiao, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. You should go and apply some ointment. I can’t leave here!”
Xu Jiao was filled with hatred. She was already in such a state, but Mrs. Tong, this stubborn donkey, still refused to leave. How could she put the medicine in?
However, if she continued to stay here, she would be suspected. Helpless, she could only walk out.
Just as she was thinking about what to do, she saw the soup bowl beside her. Xu Jiao’s eyes lit up and she immediately thought of a flawless plan.

Qin Xi’s smooth acupuncture technique dumbfounded Xu Haisheng.
He had never seen such a magical acupuncture technique. With a raise of her hand, the silver needles were all inserted into Xu Wu’s body. It was unbelievably quick.
While the acupuncture was done, Qin Xi began to tell Xu Haisheng some things to take note of. Xu Haisheng listened attentively and took notes from time to time.
“When she wakes up, don’t let her get out of bed and walk around for the time being. In the past few years, her muscles have deteriorated a little. It’s best if she recuperates bit by bit. She has to take the medicine I prescribed every day. It’s very helpful in stimulating muscle atrophy.”
After explaining, Qin Xi looked at the time and walked to Xu Wu’s side. With a wave of her hand, a suction force pulled out the Ice Soul Silver Needles from Xu Wu’s body.
“The medicine should be ready by now. Bring it over!” After putting away the Ice Soul Silver Needles, she said calmly.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to bring it over.”
Xu Haisheng walked out excitedly and asked the people outside anxiously, “Where’s the medicine? Is it ready? Bring it over quickly.”
Xu Linyuan was the first to step forward. “I’ll go and bring it over now.”
With that, he ran down the stairs.
“Haisheng, how is our daughter?”
Liu Su grabbed Xu Haisheng’s hand and asked anxiously. She stared at Xu Haisheng without blinking, as if she was afraid of missing out on any emotions.
Xu Haisheng smiled, but his eyes were filled with tears. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “Su, don’t worry. This time, our daughter can be saved. Doctor Qin said that she will wake up today. Don’t be anxious. We’ve been waiting for many years. A few hours won’t make a difference.”
Just as Liu Su was about to ask if she could go in and take a look, she saw Xu Linyuan walking up with a bowl of medicine.
