Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Care from Master Huo, Ruanruan Drinks Soup

Ke Yihui turned pale when he heard that.

Was he, as a son, supposed to investigate whether his stepmother was unfaithful or not?

Seriously, such a task was infuriating.

Ke Zhibin could not bear to look directly at his son’s complicated expression. Carrying a rage, he quickly left the ward to find his wife, to whom he had been married for nearly ten years.

If he did not leave, he feared his face would fall to the ground and even get trampled a few times.

Just as Ke Zhibin stepped out of the ward, he received a call from Hen Nianzhen.

She spoke hurriedly, saying that she had encountered a major problem with the historical drama she was responsible for and needed to resolve it.

Ke Zhibin’s expression was frosty as he soothed her with his usual gentle tone.

After hanging up, he did not return to the ward but instead headed toward the office of the chief doctor responsible for his elderly mother.

...

Inside the Huo Family’s great hall, Huo Qi and Huo Chengying sat restlessly, their gazes frequently shifting toward the stairs.

When they saw Qin Ruan’s figure appear, the cousins immediately stood up, looking very nervous and restrained.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Good morning," Qin Ruan said as she came down the stairs. Her eyes surveyed Huo Qi, who had cleansed his Evil Qi, and her smile deepened a bit.

Huo Qi, with a gracefully handsome face, expressed his gratitude, "Thanks for these past few days, sister-in-law."

"We’re all family here, it was no trouble at all."

Qin Ruan stood in front of the brothers, curious, "Are you waiting for me?"

Huo Chengying spoke, "My father called to say there indeed has been some trouble with the Duan Family; the exact situation hasn’t been figured out yet, so he asked us brothers to stay in Capital City for the New Year."

Qin Ruan was even more puzzled, "But wasn’t that already decided?"

Huo Qi touched his nose and whispered softly, "My girlfriend knows about my condition, she’s worried about me and is already on her way to Capital City."

Qin Ruan, expression unchanged, asked, "What do you mean?"

"I want to see her."

Huo Qi’s cheeks reddened slightly, inadvertently revealing his eagerness to see his beloved.

Qin Ruan laughed, "Of course, would I play the spoiler in your love story?"

Before Huo Qi could fully display his happiness, he heard her say, "Just as long as you’re not afraid that leaving Huo Mansion might cause the female Puppet to entangle you again, who knows when you might meet your demise, just go boldly."

Huo Qi’s recently brightened complexion lost a few shades of color following Qin Ruan’s chilling speech, and his blood ran cold instantaneously.

Huo Chengying silently wiped his face, hiding his resentful and contorted expression.

This cousin of his was alright in many ways, but deep down he was truly henpecked, involved with a girlfriend for seven years; they were still as close as glue, wishing they could stick together every day.

To think he still fancied running around when his life was barely hanging by a thread, it was hard to tell whether he was unafraid of death or just afraid of his wife.

Seeing Huo Qi and Huo Chengying one anxious and the other trembling with apprehension, Qin Ruan laughed again, "Going out to meet is impossible, but having her come over to the house is no problem.

However, I must say this beforehand, your girlfriend needs to go through a strict check if she wants to enter Huo Mansion, and I need to personally see if she brings anything unsuitable. Only after I’m sure there are no issues will she be allowed in."

Huo Qi’s eyes brightened immediately, and he quickly assured, "No problem, Fanfan and I have been together for seven years. She’s absolutely fine, very well-behaved and innocent."

Huo Chengying stood aside, listening to his cousin describe his girlfriend, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

Qin Ruan saw it and smiled, asking, "Do you have something to say?"

Huo Chengying had a complicated expression on his face. Glancing at his cousin beside him, he admitted, "The seventh sister is a very forthright person. She is stronger than the average girl. Once she became famous for taking down more than ten thugs all by herself. The people she beat up were so disfigured that even their own parents couldn’t recognize them."

Huo Qi panicked, "Brother Chengying, that was because Fanfan was defending herself. She’s usually very gentle."

Huo Chengying nodded seriously, "Hmm, gentle enough to smash beer bottles with her bare hands."

Huo Qi’s eyes blazed, "That was an accident, she has never hurt me."

Huo Chengying said calmly, "Hmm, you’re her boyfriend. She wouldn’t want to hurt you, but I’ve been her victim for years. Who was it that she chased with a brick last year? Who did she splatter with real blood the year before that?

And the year before that, who did she throw into the fish pond? And four years ago, the first time I met Sister, great, she slapped me in the face and knocked me senseless..."

Huo Qi stepped forward and covered his mouth, "Bro, brother brother! Stop talking!"

"Mmm mmm..."

Huo Chengying struggled to pull away the hand blocking his mouth, glaring at Huo Qi with eyes full of resentment and anger.

"Cough cough..." Qin Ruan coughed lightly, suppressing the laughter in her throat, and tried to sound calm as she said, "The seventh’s girlfriend sounds quite straightforward."

Huo Qi’s handsome face showed a sweetly troubled expression as he spoke of his girlfriend, his eyes shining, "Fanfan might not be compatible with sixth brother’s temper, I don’t know why, but every time she sees him, she starts punching and kicking, yet she’s very sensible, even when she fights, she never draws blood."

Well, you’re still proud that there was no bloodshed!

Huo Chengying rolled his eyes, nearly performing on the spot a detailed process of how one is annoyed to death.

Huo Zhi stepped forward and whispered to Qin Ruan, "Madam, it’s time for you to eat."

"Got it." Qin Ruan, with her fist against her lips, asked Huo Qi and Huo Chengying, "Have you guys eaten yet? Want to join?"

Huo Qi replied, "We’ve already eaten."

Huo Chengying said, "Madam, go ahead and eat. We’ll not disturb you."

After he finished talking, he grabbed his cousin’s arm and forcefully dragged him away, to prevent him from making more of a fool of himself.

Watching them head towards the guest room, Qin Ruan couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of her lips.

Following Huo Zhi into the dining room, as soon as she sat down, she instructed Huo Zhi, "Go check the background of Huo’s seventh sister’s girlfriend."

Huo Zhi responded and accepted a bowl of medicinal cuisine soup handed to him by a servant.

Qin Ruan’s nose twitched, smelling the medicinal scent in the air.

She frowned, "Why is it a medicinal meal?"

Having drunk various medicinal soups during her pregnancy, she could now distinguish what ingredients were brewed in the soup by just smelling the medicinal scent.

Huo Zhi placed the soup in front of Qin Ruan and explained, "Madam, before the master left, he specifically instructed the kitchen to stew this Energy and Blood Nourishing Soup for you."

"My health is quite good; there’s no need for these soups anymore."

Although she said this, Qin Ruan’s hand had already reached out.

She sipped the soup with a spoon, as if she was back to the days of her pregnancy when she had a bowl of medicinal cuisine every day.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s troubled look, Huo Zhi stepped back, trying hard to suppress a smile, "Master said you’ve had dark circles under your eyes these past few days, and you don’t look well; it’s because you haven’t rested well. He asked you to drink it for a week first."

"A week? Aren’t you afraid I’ll be over-nourished?"

Qin Ruan laughed in frustration, her initial moved feelings for the third master’s concern instantly dissipating.

Huo Zhi remarked, "Master also said that if your complexion improves in a week, you can stop drinking the soup. But if there is no improvement, you will have to continue for another month."

Qin Ruan, gripping her spoon, almost crushed it in her hand.
