The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1979 - 153: Divergence

Qin Chun, upon this thought, felt a fleeting moment of confusion.

Finally, she pondered over many things, involuntarily sighing, "What a sin."

A perfectly good person choosing not to be good, but instead becoming the spy, refusing to walk the broad path, and rushing onto the single-log bridge; even if it cost them their life, it was entirely their own doing, and none can be blamed.

...

"Alright, the dish is ready to be served, bring a plate over."

Chef Lin handed over a plate accordingly, Dong Huiying glanced at it briefly, then scooped the stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork from the pan into the plate, placing it casually on the stove.

She understands medicine, masters poison, and refines gu. But besides Old Lady Qin, Qin Chun is the only one aware of these matters. And Little Wuwang? This child seems interested in these things as well, naturally brilliant and talented in this regard, yet the child is too young, having just started learning. Additionally, Old Lady Qin previously hired several tutors for Little Wuwang, so whenever Dong Huiying isn’t around Wuwang, those tutors impart related knowledge to him.

In other words, in the inn now, some know Dong Huiying’s connections with the Liang Family Brothers, but very few are aware of her skills.

She chuckled while continuing to cook, her gaze continuously distracted, paying attention to the stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork.

This dish, so far, is still good, not yet poisoned.

She’s curious to see if that sneaky rat in the shadows can hold back!

The poison used was a slow-acting type, but it couldn’t withstand the accumulation and sedimentation over days; only when amassed to a certain amount could it fully erupt. The old lady was the most deeply poisoned, followed by Wuwang, then Little Star. As for the others, she had observed their faces, including Qin Chun, and none showed signs of poisoning.

This isn’t a mass poisoning incident, but targeted at the old lady and the two children.

Just then, Chef Huang glanced at Dong Huiying and discreetly exchanged a look with Chef Lin.

Dong Huiying: "Hehe."

"What’s the young lady laughing at?" Chef Huang feigned surprise.

Just as Dong Huiying was about to speak, someone outside the door said, "She’s laughing at someone audacious enough not to know their fate!"

"Old lady?"

Everyone saw Old Lady Qin, who was protective and approachable, getting along well with them; it wouldn’t be too much to say they were like sisters, having been by the old lady’s side in their early years, venturing the world together.

Yet now, the old lady’s expression chilled the heart, as she handed Little Star to Qin Chun, letting Qin Chun hold him tight, then gently touching Little Wuwang’s head.

"Wangwang, are you scared?"

Little Wuwang was momentarily stunned, Dong Huiying was also taken aback, seeming to understand Old Lady Qin’s intent, showing a disapproving expression. She quickly stepped forward.

The little old lady has gone crazy?

How young is Wangwang?

Dong Huiying picked up Wuwang, frowned, and glanced at the old lady.

Old Lady: "..."

Why does she suddenly feel like being guarded against like a thief?

She didn’t intend to do anything but wanted to seize the opportunity to educate Little Wuwang, instilling some notions in him, since some matters need to be encountered eventually.

Dong Huiying gazed at the child’s tender little face, leaned in, and gently kissed Little Wuwang, making the boy’s ears instantly turn red, shyly covering his little cheeks.

Dong Huiying’s expression softened somewhat.

"Old lady, Wangwang is too young; some things should not be encountered too early."

Some words are best left unsaid, trusting the old lady to understand her meaning.
