“Huan, are you Huan Er?”

Old Madam Xue appeared weak, but her eyes lit up with excitement as she looked at the person brought before her by Xue Qi.

As she spoke, tears rolled down Old Madam Xue’s cheeks.

Jiang Peihuan hadn’t seen Old Madam Xue for a long time, but seeing the old woman’s tears made her heart feel hot.

Stepping forward, Jiang Peihuan knelt down, “Huan Er greets grandmother.”

“Yun Gui, quick, help Huan Er up.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan kowtowing before her, Old Madam Xue quickly ordered the person beside her.

“Grandmother, 1 brought you this gift to make you happy. If I made you sad, that would be my fault. My elder brothers will punish me when they arrive.”

“You indeed need a lesson,”

As soon as Xue Qi finished speaking, a clear male voice sounded from outside. Jiang Peihuan turned her head and saw a scholarly young man enter the room.

This was Xue Tao’s eldest son, Xue Zhi.

“Second Brother, I heard our cousin Huan is here. Where is she?”

A young man in a green shirt appeared behind Xue Zhi. This was Xue Tao’s second son, Xue Zhan.

“You guys, don’t scare Huan Er.”

Old Madam Xue, seeing the three young men, her eyes filled with smiles. When her gaze landed on Jiang Peihuan, her smile deepened.

Reaching out and holding Jiang Peihuan’s hand, the old madam began, “Huan Er, these are…”

“Grandmother, there’s no need for introductions. I know them.”

Saying this, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and greeted softly, “Huan Er greets Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhan.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan correctly say their names, both Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan looked surprised.

Beside them, Xue Qi asked directly, “Huan Er, how can you call us accurately?”

“Cousin Qi, have you forgotten? When 1 was a child, I stayed here with my mother for half a month.”

“But you were just a few years old then.”

“This shows that our Huan Er is talented and smart.”

“Cough cough cough…”

Hearing the laughter of everyone, Old Madam Xue’s eyes were filled with joy.

But her emotions stirred, and she began to cough.

“Old Madam, are you alright?”

Yun Gui, an elderly servant next to her, quickly came to pat her back when she saw Old Madam Xue coughing.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly said “Grandmother, 1 came here after hearing from the Old Madam Zhong that you are not well.”

“I have a servant girl whose medical skills are outstanding. Grandmother, could you let her examine you?”

“That old woman, I told her not to tell Xue Yan, but she still said it.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Old Madam Xue laughed and said. She then turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Huan Er, don’t listen to their nonsense. I’m fine, it’s just… cough, cough…”

Before she could finish, the old madam started coughing again.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly said, “Grandmother, please let Ye Xiao have a look.”

“Fine, then let her take a look at me.”

Old Madam Xue had seen countless doctors in the past half a year and had given up hope for her health. However, not wanting to disappoint Jiang Peihuan, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing the old madam nodding, Jiang Peihuan called out softly, “Ye Xiao, come in.”

Ye Xiao was waiting outside the door. Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, she immediately entered.

“Ye Xiao, come and take Grandma’s pulse.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss.”

Ye Xiao bowed to everyone in the room, then approached Old Madam Xue, reaching out to take her pulse.

Usually, it only took a moment to take her pulse, but this time, Ye Xiao took half a tea-time before releasing Old Madam Xue’s hand.

Everyone from the Xue family looked worried.

Xue Qi broke the silence, “Ye Xiao, is my grandmother sick?”

Ye Xiao stood up and addressed Jiang Peihuan and the Xue family, “Eldest Miss, gentlemen, Old Madam Xue is not sick, she is poisoned.”

“Poisoned?”

“How could she be poisoned out of the blue?”

Upon hearing Ye Xiao’s words, everyone in the Xue family changed their expressions.

Xue Zhan was the first to react, “I’m going to inform our parents right now.”

“Cousin Zhan, wait.”

As Xue Zhan prepared to leave, Jiang Peihuan quickly spoke up, causing Xue Zhan to stop and look at her.

Facing Xue Zhan’s puzzled expression, Jiang Peihuan said quietly, “Cousin Zhan, the people around grandmother are all close to her. Even her food and drink are carefully managed. If she is poisoned, 1 fear the poisoner may be someone from within the house.”

“Therefore, I think it’s best not to spread this news until the poison is neutralized.”

“Huan Er, you mean to say that the person who poisoned our grandmother is someone from our house?”

At this point, Xue Zhi looked at Jiang Peihuan and spoke.

Jiang Peihuan nodded in agreement but said nothing.

The room fell silent. After a long while, Old Madam Xue looked at her grandsons and said, “You boys, handle this according to what Huan Er has said. No one must know about this, not even your parents.”

“Yes, grandmother.”

Xue Zhi, Xue Qi and the others had been raised by Old Madam Xue since they were children, so they respected and listened to her.

“Ye Xiao, do you know what poison our grandmother has been given? Can it be cured?”

“Don’t worry, eldest miss, the poison can be cured.”

Seeing that Old Madam Xue was looking tired, Jiang Peihuan suggested she take a rest.

After they had left Old Madam Xue’s courtyard, Ye Xiao turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Eldest Miss, after the poison in the old madam’s body is removed, she will still need a period of rest. Therefore, 1 am afraid we may need to stay in Qingzhou for half a month.”

“That’s fine. 1 will write to my mother and inform her of the situation here with my grandmother.”

“Huan Er, I’ll walk you back to your room.”

Hearing a voice from behind, Jiang Peihuan turned her head to see Xue Qi coming her way.

Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan had other matters to attend to, so they bid Jiang Peihuan farewell and left.

“Do you have some free time, cousin Qi?”

“I have been free these past few days.”

With that, Xue Qi accompanied Jiang Peihuan to her quarters. Before her marriage, Xue Yan lived in a well-maintained courtyard, and that’s where Jiang Peihuan was now accommodated.

“Huan Er, you must be tired. Take a rest. Later, we will have to go to grandmother’s quarters for dinner. I’ll come and find you then.”

“Take care, cousin Qi.”

“Ye Xiao, what poison has our grandmother been given?”

Jiang Peihuan had asked this question earlier in Old Madam Xue’s quarters, but Ye Xiao hadn’t answered then.

Once Xue Qi had left, Jiang Peihuan repeated her question.

After pouring a glass of water for Jiang Peihuan, Ye Xiao finally answered, “Eldest Miss, Old Madam Xue was poisoned with rosemary.”

“Rosemary?”

Seeing Ye Xiao nod, Jian Peihuan’s eyes revealed some gloominess.

Rosemary is a slow-acting poison. It takes at least a year and up to three for the victim to die unnoticed..
