Previously, it was Ji Wanwan who had asked her for help, so she had no choice but to comply. However, now the situation had changed, and it was her turn to beg for Ji Wanwan’s help. The shift from pa.s.sive to active meant that the outcome would be in Ji Wanwan’s hands. Even if Ji Wanwan made unreasonable demands, she would have to accept them.
However, even though she knew this, Su Qian still had to go.
For the sake of her precious daughter, even if she had to be extorted by Ji Wanwan, she would accept it!
“Qianqian, you probably don’t know about Qi Yao’s current condition, right?” Xiao Yan said calmly, “1 just received news yesterday that Qi Yao’s illness reached a critical stage, and it seems he doesn’t have much time left. If nothing goes wrong, Ji Wanwan will definitely come to beg you again today. You just have to wait for her at home.”
“There’s such a thing?” Seeing Xiao Yan nod seriously, Su Qian trusted his information very much, so she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for her all morning.”
Qi Yao’s condition was clearly more dangerous than Su Qian had imagined. She had just thought of a way to refine some elixir to temporarily alleviate Su Qingqing’s condition when Ji Wanwan had already come looking for her again.
Su Qian looked at the faint light outside the window and then looked at Xiao Yan, who had already coaxed Su Ye to sleep. She said in surprise, “Your Highness really has divine foresight.”
Xiao Yan gently picked up Su Ye, who had fallen asleep on his lap, and placed him on a soft couch at the side. He then covered Su Ye with the blanket and said to Su Qian, “Go. 1’11 stay here and watch over the children.”
Looking at Xiao Yan’s gentle actions, Su Qian didn’t know what was wrong with her. She actually felt that Xiao Yan looked like a loving father who cared for his child…
Su Qian was shocked by her own thoughts and quickly shook her head to dispel the absurd idea from her mind.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Your Highness.” Thinking about how concerned Xiao Yan was about Su Qingqing’s illness, Su Qian subconsciously believed him. She entrusted the two children to Xiao Yan and strode out of the room and headed straight for the front hall.
In the front hall.
Ji Wanwan didn’t even spare a glance at the tea served by the maids. Her anxious eyes kept looking outside the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of Su Qian’s beautiful figure as soon as possible.
Beside Ji Wanwan, First Elder wore a gloomy expression. He picked up the teacup and put it down again. Finally, he sighed heavily. “Eldest Miss, you’re too willful.”
Ji Wanwan understood what First Elder meant. She lowered her eyes and let out a long sigh. “First Elder, even if 1 don’t say it, you know very well what Uncle’s situation is like. You should be well aware that if we don’t come to Su Qian, can we find someone else to help? Only a fifth-grade alchemist can cure Uncle’s poison. We can only gamble on Su Qian.”
“Even if you’re not mistaken and Su Qian is indeed a fifth-grade alchemist, so what? My dear Eldest Miss, It’s not like you haven’t tried before. Su Qian isn’t willing to help at all.” At the end of the First Elder’s sentence, he looked like he had lost all his strength, completely dejected.
The reason why he didn’t want Ji Wanwan to come over was because he was afraid that Ji Wanwan would have too much hope. What if Su Qian still refused to help? What should he do then?
“If she is unwilling to help, even if I have to kneel down and beg her, I will ask her to help me.” Ji Wanwan knew that her approach would be detested, but she no longer had a choice. All her hopes were now placed on Su Qian..
