They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 393 Who did it?

Xu Zhichun asked Liang Minglang to stay with him while he went to prepare the medicine.

She originally wanted to wait for the doctor to come and examine her to find out the cause before she would secretly replace the medicine in her spatial storage with the appropriate treatment.

Now we have no choice but to take a gamble.

One packet of montmorillonite powder is enough to show its preservation effect.

She hesitated between montmorillonite powder plus enteritis medicine and montmorillonite powder plus probiotics, and finally chose the former.

The medicine was mixed with water and brought over. Liang Minglang wanted to take it, but Xu Zhichun stopped him, saying, "Let me do it. Go and pour some warm water."

How could she dare give it to him? He's so shrewd; if he figured something out, she'd have a hard time covering it up.

After Liang Mingxuan took his medicine, Liang Minglang poured him some warm water and fed him half a cup.

"Lie down obediently, close your eyes and rest. Your older brother and sister-in-law will stay here with you. Get some rest, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Um"

Liang Mingxuan nodded obediently, lay down peacefully, and gently closed his eyes.

Manager Zhong didn't leave either, staying by his side with concern.

Seeing his previously furrowed brows relax slightly, and his previously sallow and restrained complexion seem to improve somewhat, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang exchanged glances and both subconsciously relaxed a little.

At this moment, even Xu Zhichun was not sure if the medicine he used would work.

The key to treating illness is to prescribe the right medicine for the right symptoms. She has no other choice but to guess blindly.

It should be roughly the same, but who knows?

Liang Minglang was completely unaware of the inside story, let alone the details.

Fearing that Xu Zhichun might be too worried, he gently squeezed her hand and leaned closer to comfort her in a low voice: "I think he really seems to be feeling better. Don't worry, he should really be getting better. The medicine you used is really effective."

Seeing that he was comforting her instead, Xu Zhichun couldn't help but smile and nodded gently, "Mmm." "Of course the medicine I prepared will work. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry."

Liang Minglang: "In that case, I'll keep watch by myself. You go and rest."

"this--"

"Go quickly."

Xu Zhichun thought for a moment, nodded, said "Mm," and left.

With Mingxuan in this state, it's definitely not a good idea to buy food from outside tomorrow. Who knows if there will be any problems?
She needs to get up early tomorrow morning to prepare breakfast and lunch for him to take to the exam; it's time for her to go to sleep.

The next morning, around 5:30 a.m., before dawn, Xu Zhichun got up.

I'll simmer some millet porridge on the small stove, and then boil a few hard-boiled eggs.

For breakfast, millet porridge with boiled eggs is fine.

A few steamed buns and some boiled eggs make up lunch. There's a thermos with a cotton cover at home; fill it with hot water, and you can have a sip of hot water later.
After cooking porridge and kneading dough, she went to check on Liang Mingxuan.

Liang Mingxuan was already awake. The two brothers were talking when they saw her. One called her "Zhichun" and the other called her "Sister-in-law"!
"Sister-in-law's medicine really works! I'm all better now!"

A smile appeared on Liang Mingxuan's face, and he seemed to have regained his composure.

I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable, but it shouldn't have any major impact.

Xu Zhichun was relieved and smiled, "That's good, that's good, then I'm relieved! After taking the morning ointment and the medicine, I should be fine!"

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xu Zhichun waved his hand: "There's no need to thank me."

"What are you talking about?"

Liang Minglang's gaze darkened: "Mingxuan couldn't have had abdominal pain and diarrhea for no reason. He must have been set up."

Xu Zhichun hurriedly said, "It can't be the Qin family. The Qin family wouldn't do such a thing." The better the Liang family is, the more beneficial it will be for the Qin family, since they are definitely among the group that can rise with the tide.

Only a fool would harm Liang Mingxuan.

Furthermore, this is incredibly foolish—inviting someone to your home for dinner and then drugging them?

If Xu Zhichun hadn't been willing to trust them, their family would have been the prime suspects.

Once you have a suspect, keep a close eye on them and investigate; the probability of uncovering the truth is extremely high.

Liang Mingxuan hurriedly added, "Sister-in-law, it certainly wouldn't be a member of the Qin family, and I trust the Qin family too. Ning An would never harm me! I've guessed it; the problem must be with the tea I drank at the inn, and it's probably related to Dou Zhongli."

Xu Zhichun sneered: "Now that you mention it, it seems so too. Is he participating in this year's imperial examination?"

"Ah."

"Ah!"

It's just jealousy.

Although the methods were a bit underhanded, they were undeniably effective.

Without Xu Zhichun, who knows how things would have ended up.

Since Dou Zhongli was confident in taking action, he must have been certain that the condition could not be easily cured. Even if they went to trouble the county magistrate in the middle of the night, it might not be effective so quickly.

In the end, after all the commotion and chaos, if the exam results are still poor, and the magistrate is not very magnanimous, he might hold a grudge, thinking that the family is too troublesome and dares to disturb people in the middle of the night, and that's how it will end.
How vicious.

Liang Minglang patted Liang Mingxuan's head: "Go to the exam as usual, keep an eye on the food you bring, and don't eat or drink anything given to you by anyone. Remember, it's anyone."

"Okay, I understand, bro."

Liang Minglang said to Xu Zhichun, "I'd appreciate it if you and Manager Zhong could escort him to the examination hall in a bit. I'm going out for a bit."

Xu Zhichun was afraid that he would start a fight at the slightest provocation, so she quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wouldn't you be that impulsive?
Trying to take action without evidence is too blatant. It would be better to wait until dark and then put a sack over your head.

Liang Minglang seemed to guess what she was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I can't do, and I will never do anything reckless."

"Really?"

Xu Zhichun was skeptical and felt somewhat uneasy.

"Really, I won't lie to you."

"Oh"

Okay then.
"Mingxuan, do well on the exam."

"I will, brother!"

Liang Minglang nodded and strode out.

Xu Zhichun comforted Liang Mingxuan for a few words, then went to prepare medicine and breakfast.

Xu Zhichun, along with Manager Zhong and shop assistant Xiao He, successfully escorted Liang Mingxuan to the examination hall.

They rode in a mule cart sent by the Qin family.

Master Qin and Madam Qin originally planned to prepare a carriage, but Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang declined, saying that would be too high-profile.

Mingxuan from their family shouldn't be the center of attention.

The mule cart stopped nearby, allowing Liang Mingxuan to rest a little longer in the carriage. Seeing that the long procession was almost over, Xu Zhichun and Manager Zhong accompanied him over.

The constables, dressed in their official uniforms, stood guard with solemn expressions. Accompanying family members were not allowed to approach, so the two of them stood outside the cordon until Liang Mingxuan successfully passed through the checkpoint and entered, at which point they returned.

Dou Zhongli didn't arrive early either, because if she went in too early, she wouldn't be able to confirm whether Liang Mingxuan had arrived or not.

Even after more than half the people had entered, Liang Mingxuan was still nowhere to be seen. He was satisfied and secretly pleased: Yesterday was a success!
