“Universal antidote? Xiao Xiao, you have the formula for that?” asked Old Mrs. Cheng with a look of surprised. She was genuinely surprised.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, nodded, said with a smile, “Yes, Grandma. We have quit a bit of formulas, which is why we think we will be able to concoct our own pills.”
Everybody else looked happy as well.
At this time, Old Mrs. Luo came by accompanied by Luo Yuqin. Both of them looked disheveled. It didn’t look like they were well rested the night before.
With the exception of Old Mrs. Cheng, everybody else stood up, saluted, and greeted them.
Old Mrs. Luo greeted Old Mrs. Cheng before she quickly held Cheng Xiao Xiao’s hands and said nervously, “Xiao Xiao, Grandma is going to go back to Yan today. You come with me, okay? Your grandfather needs you right now. You can go back with grandma, check him out and see what kind of poison was used on him, okay?”
“Grandma, I don’t need to go to Yan. Don’t worry, I will find the antidote for Grandpa as soon as possible.” Cheng Xiao Xiao had no intention of going to Yan.
Old Mrs. Luo’s face changed colors and she looked very displeased. She stared at Cheng Xiao Xiao in disbelief and said, “You don’t want to go? You don’t want to go help out your grandfather? Are you blowing me off?”
Everybody else changed colors as they heard that.
Old Mrs. Cheng frowned a little and casted a glance over at this in-law.
“Is that necessary? Do I need to blow you off?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was displeased as well but she still explained to her seriously, “I have already promised Uncle that I will help out and I will keep my words. As I have said, I am trying to figure out how to help Grandpa detoxify.”
“And just how can you do that without going to Yan? How can you figure out how to detoxify him without figuring out what type of poison was used on him?”
Old Mrs. Luo was frantic, she pushed further, “Are you doing this on purpose? Do you not want to help your grandfather at all? You are not worried, not anxious. You just want to revenge us, right?”
“You…” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked displeased but also laughed from being too angry. Supposed, when someone really wanted to stay that you have ill intention, they could say that no matter what. How conceited was that!
“You don’t need to believe me if you don’t want to!”
After she had said that, her good mood was ruined and she turned and walked away.
Mo Xuanzun was just about to run after her before Old Mrs. Cheng tapped him on his shoulder and nodded at him.
“Xiao Xiao…”
A familiar voice. Cheng Xiao Xiao, walking in the front, turned around. When she saw the person walking toward her, she smiled and curtsied. “Grandma, why are you here?”
“Are you upset?” asked Old Mrs. Cheng with a smile.
“Upset? Why should I be upset?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she raised her brows. She then carried on, “Grandma, I am not upset because it’s not worth it. I’m just a little bothered by it. But I do understand that she was just spewing things out because she was worried.”
“I am glad you understand that,” said Old Mrs. Cheng with a nod. “Yeah, her behavior was understandable. After all, it was her husband that is in question right now and you aren’t planning on going to pay him a visit. It’s only makes sense that she is upset. But don’t worry, your father and the others can go explain to her in a little bit.”
“It’s not bothering me all that much, Grandma,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile. “I don’t really care what is going through her mind nor do I want to explain myself to her. I’ll just let it be.”
“Oh, you child. You don’t seem like someone petty, so why do you let something like this bother you?” said Old Mrs. Cheng as she tapped Cheng Xiao Xiao on her forehead with a smile. She said dotingly, “It doesn’t matter what others thing. Don’t let them bother you too much. You do what you need to do.”
