Chapter 453 Sprinkling Medicine
Lin Ziqi was unhappy. Ever since Qin Wan went back to her parents' home, her words had become more and more sarcastic and disrespectful.

But he smiled sincerely: "Of course. My father-in-law has been very kind to me and betrothed his daughter to me. Brother Heng also respects me very much. If I become rich, will I be reluctant to spend a little money? As the saying goes, my beloved wife helped me to achieve my ambitions, so I will give her ten thousand taels of gold."

Qin Wan's expression looked much better.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Yanhong said outside: "Madam, the master's medicine is ready."

Qin Yuan said, "Bring it in."

Yanhong brought in the medicine bowl, and Madam Yu's figure flashed past behind her.

Qin Wan was upset when she saw this, so she asked, "Was the cousin here just now?"

Yanhong said, "When this servant brought the medicine, Miss Cousin was talking to the little maid in the kitchen."

Qin Wan nodded, took it, put it on the table, and said softly to Lin Ziqi: "Drink the medicine, husband."

Lin Ziqi looked at the medicine bowl listlessly, "Wait until it cools down before drinking it."

Then he asked Qin Wan, "Didn't the doctor also prescribe medicine for you? Why didn't you cook it?"

This was a rare concern from Lin Ziqi in these days. Qin Wan felt much better and said with a smile, "It's okay. The doctor said to drink it when you feel unwell. I feel very well these past two days."

Lin Ziqi nodded: "You have to be careful, this is the eldest grandson of the Lin family, and mother has been waiting to hold her grandson."

Qin Wan gently stroked her belly, her eyes and eyebrows smiling, her whole person became much gentler, and said: "I don't need to, this is also my first child."

She has been thinking a lot these days.

Because of this child, all suspicion and dissatisfaction towards Lin Ziqi were temporarily put aside.

No matter what, she will finally have her own child in this life.

The child she had been waiting for for a long time.

Seeing that Lin Ziqi was reluctant to take the medicine, Qin Wan said, "If you really can't drink it, ask Yanhong to bring some of the candied fruit my mother sent to you. After you drink it, it will make your mouth sweeter and you won't feel so sad."

Lin Ziqi nodded: "Okay."

When Yanhong came back with the candied fruit, Madam Yu followed in. Qin Wan was upset when she saw her, and she couldn't help but frowned. Lin Ziqi also felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Cousin, why did you come in like this?"

Madam Yu didn't take it seriously: "I came to see if my cousin's headache has improved. I also came to talk to my cousin's wife."

Yanhong curled her lips secretly.

Qin Wan was too lazy to greet her, so she said, "I'm not feeling well, and I don't have the energy to care about anyone."

Madam Yu stared at the medicine bowl with a strange look on her face: "It's okay."

Seeing that she refused to leave, Qin Wan was too lazy to say anything more and just looked at Lin Ziqi.

Lin Ziqi pretended to be unaware of the undercurrent between the two women and raised his hand to take the medicine.

At this time, Madam Yu's face showed jealousy and a hint of expectation, but when she saw Lin Ziqi put the bowl to his mouth, she panicked again and said hurriedly: "Cousin, I have something to tell you."

Her voice was shrill and harsh.

Qin Wan looked at Madam Yu strangely.

Lin Ziqi was also a little annoyed. He moved the medicine bowl away and said unhappily, "Let's talk about it later. This medicine is too bitter. I've drunk too much these days and I'm very annoyed. Today, it smells a strange smell. I have to drink it in one go. One dose of medicine costs one tael of silver. It can't be wasted."

Madam Yu took two steps at a time and squeezed forward.

Fortunately, Yanhong was quick and quickly supported Qin Wan so that she was not hit by her.

Yanhong said angrily: "Cousin, you need to be more careful about what you say and do. Madam is pregnant. If something happens, can you afford it?"

Lin Ziqi frowned and scolded impatiently: "What's wrong with you today?"

“Cousin, listen to me,” Madam Yu pushed forward again and almost knocked over the medicine bowl.

Lin Ziqi hurriedly and carefully put down the medicine bowl and shouted, "What's wrong with you today?"

Madam Yu looked panicked and a little aggrieved, then she twisted her foot and fell to the side of the table, her arm slamming on the table, knocking the medicine bowl over with a clang.

The medicine spilled all over the floor.

Some of it even splashed onto the hem of Qin Wan's skirt.

Yanhong jumped up and down: "What are you doing? It's so hard to make medicine, and the medicine is so expensive. What are you doing, cousin?"

Smelling the strong smell of medicine, Qin Wan couldn't help but retching and hurriedly called Yanhong.

"Yanhong, help me out quickly."

Not caring about Madam Yu anymore, Yanhong hurriedly helped Qin Wan out.

Lin Ziqi asked Madam Yu: "What are you doing? You look so irritable."

Lin's mother was also startled by the sound and came over. When she saw it, she shouted, "How did it get like this? You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. This medicine costs one or two taels of silver. Doesn't boiling medicine cost money for firewood? And such a good bowl, it's broken."

Madam Yu trembled and said, "Aunt, it's all my fault. I was talking to my cousin just now and I didn't pay attention and knocked over the bowl. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry."

Although she loved Madam Yu, Lin's mother loved money more. Although she didn't say anything harsh, she kept nagging about it.

Madam Yu's face flushed red, her eyes filled with tears as she picked up the dustpan and broom and cleaned up the mess herself.

Yanhong, with an angry face, helped Qin Wan back to the inner room and lay down, and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Wan whispered, "Take off this skirt quickly and put it away."

Yanhong said: "This skirt has been stained. It can no longer be worn. I will ask the maid to wash it."

"No," Qin Wan grabbed Yanhong's hand and said, "Listen to me, keep it."

Yanhong hesitated for a moment, then understood and asked in a trembling voice: "...the medicine..."

Qin Wan nodded heavily.

After all, she has lived a lifetime. Ever since she learned that Madam Yu and Lin Ziqi were having an affair, Qin Wan has been on guard.

In her previous life, Qin Yuan lost a child not long after getting married.

Her mother murmured in front of her, and she was still thinking that it was a good thing that Qin Yuan's child was gone, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed.

It's possible that the child was lost because of this Madam Yu's mischief.

Yanhong hurriedly helped Qin Wan change her skirt, then put it away and wrapped it in oil paper. Then she asked, "Do you want to see a doctor?"

Qin Wan hesitated.

At this time she was a little undecided.

Yanhong said, "I think we should find a doctor to take a look. If there is anything, we can go back and tell Madam."

Qin Wan bit her lower lip and said after a while, "Should I tell my mother-in-law and husband first?"

Yanhong was a little hesitant.

Qin Wan was furious again: "I still don't know what's going on. I just noticed that she was acting strangely and her expression was not right. If there is something wrong with this medicine, I will definitely kick her out of the house."

Yanhong called the maid who was boiling the medicine in and asked her about it in detail. The maid said that Madam Yu was talking to her next to her and even helped her light the fire for a while.

The more Yanhong listened, the more frightened she became.

"You must be careful when you make medicine in the future, especially the young lady's medicine. Don't let anyone touch it, understand?"

The little girl nodded.

Yanhong said, "Don't tell anyone what I said today. If someone asks you in the future, just say that it was me who said that no one is allowed to touch the young lady's pregnancy-preserving medicine."

The little girl said, "I've got it in mind."

Yanhong gave her a few copper coins and said, "Nowadays, we are not as rich as we were in the Jijiu Mansion. You can use the money to buy some delicious food. When the young lady gives birth to a boy and I have more money in the future, I will reward you more."
