Chapter 1193 – My Child
Two-Faced Venerate Emperor, Give Me A Hug:
After half a cup of water was slowly fed to her, tendrils of vitality started to stir within Madam w.a.n.g…
It was obviously a sign of rejuvenation. Even w.a.n.g Niu Niu, who was just a child, could detect the change as she opened her eyes.
The rest of the cup was also fed to her in the same way. After that, Madam w.a.n.g slowly opened her eyes.
w.a.n.g Niu Niu excitedly called out, “Mother!”
The groggy Madam w.a.n.g started tearing, “Niu Niu, my child. Am I dreaming? To think that I can see you one more time…”
The mother and child hugged each other and cried.
After they finished crying, Madam w.a.n.g turned her attention to Huan Qing Yan, “This is?”
“Mother, she is the mother of Bad Little Treasure. The food she makes is delicious, she also knows how to treat illnesses, she’s very awesome…”
Huan Qing Yan briefly filled in the gaps in the information and introduced herself. Madam w.a.n.g climbed out of her bed after some struggling and kneeled down in front of Huan Qing Yan, “Thank you for saving my life, you are a kind and benevolent person. I thought that us, mother and daughter, will be forever separated by death, I never expect that…”
As she was halfway through a kowtow, she was stopped by Huan Qing Yan.
“There is no need for such formalities. Your body is actually healthy, just that you were inflicted by a slow-acting poison… As long as the residual poison gets removed and together with proper rest and nutrition, you will have no problems living to sixty or seventy.”
Huan Qing Yan’s words shocked Madam w.a.n.g and her daughter. Madam w.a.n.g mumbled in disbelief before her eyes turned resolute.
This time, Huan Qing Yan was unable to stop Madam w.a.n.g from kowtowing in grat.i.tude in time. Madam w.a.n.g also got w.a.n.g Niu Niu to kneel and do the same as well.
“There are no words to express our grat.i.tude, we have no way to repay this debt. Please accept a bow from the both of us.”
Since the mother-daughter pair was adamant about kowtowing, Huan Qing Yan could only accept it.
Huan Qing Yan accepted it because she felt that this incident was indeed costly. The Well Water was basically free, but this incident might expose their ident.i.ties and cause their peaceful lives to be significantly affected.
“Okay. Since you have expressed your grat.i.tude, please quickly stand up. Niu Niu’s Mother, your body is still frail and there is still residual poison within you. I still have some water that can remove the poison, please keep it…”
As Huan Qing Yan spoke, the sounds of commotions could be heard from the outside.
The sounds got louder as the source was approaching the building.
“You useless things, is this how you take care of Madam? Madam’s body is not good and requires peace and quiet, how can you allow random strays to enter? If anything happens to the Madam, the two of you will be the first to answer it!”
It was the voice of a woman, someone Huan Qing Yan had heard before.
That person came to their shop to seek compensation and had wanted to marry Niu Niu to Little Treasure. Madam Yin Xiu.
When w.a.n.g Niu Niu heard that voice, she reflexively felt fear and wanted to jump into Madam w.a.n.g’s arms to hide.
However, the child suddenly remembered that her mother was weak. She should be the one who protects her mother instead. When she thought of that, she straightened her posture again.
When Madam w.a.n.g saw Niu Niu’s small actions, pain filled her eyes. How much had her child suffered during the period she was not by her child’s side.
At that moment, the door opened with a bang as someone forcefully pushed the door to enter.
A woman who was using a hand to hold her tummy could be seen standing outside the door. She arrogantly commanded, “Servants, drag out the Young Lady and that intruder for me!”
“Yes!”
Several st.u.r.dy-looking servants acknowledged the order and were about to charge in.
Madam w.a.n.g had found a robe nearby and had covered herself before speaking in a cold tone, “Who dares!”
The servants stopped in their tracks before they quickly exited through the door again, reacting as though they had seen a ghost.
