64 Arguing with Li Yan
Xia Wan waited for Li Yan to finish and then began to reply, “Although I’m young, I’ve been studying dicine for a long ti and gained a lot of experience. If you look down on my skills, why not compete with in dicine or identify dicinal herbs with ? As Zhou Tian’s son-in-law, it’s not like you don’t know so dicinal herbs, right?
“If you’re better than , I’ll do whatever you say, but you lack the strength, don’t let an outsider give blind commands here.
“If you had the ability to cure Sister Xiaorou’s illness, would you even need ?
“You lack the ability, yet you want to drive away the only person who can treat Sister Xiaorou. Li Yan, what do you an? Do you even want Sister Xiaorou to get better?”
Xia Wan sounded like she was angry after being provoked by Li Yan, but she had, in fact, deliberately said it out loud as it was what she really thought.
Li Yan’s expression imdiately changed, but he hurriedly explained to Zhou Xiaorou. “Xiaorou, don’t listen to her. I really care about you. I’m just afraid that she will prolong your illness.”
Luo Xing chid in, “Miss Xia Wan, even if Sis Xiaorou’s condition is difficult to treat, there’s no need to be so serious. We have to taste everything that Sis Xiaorou eats? Only the emperors of ancient tis would do that.”
Her attitude was no longer as arrogant as before, but the aning in her words was obvious—she felt that Xia Wan’s request was unreasonable.
“What’s wrong with your Sister Xiaorou’s food?” Xia Wan retorted. “What’s the matter? Is it that troubleso to take a bite before she does? I’m really starting to wonder if you two really care about Sis Xiaorou’s health.”
The atmosphere in the hall instantly beca tense, where it seed Li Yan, Luo Xing, and Xia Wan were now confronting each other.
Song Ya chuckled. “Alright, let’s not argue anymore. We’re all doing this for Rou’s health. Let’s do as Xia Wan said and let Rou try.
“Of course, we’ll do as you said. I hope you won’t let us down.”
“In other words, Li Yan and Luo Xing would do as Xia Wan asked, but if Rou’er couldn’t be cured, it would be Xia Wan’s responsibility.”
Xia Wan nodded her head lightly. “Miss Song Ya is still the most sensible. The upbringing and bearing of a young lady raised by a big family are indeed outstanding.”
Luo Xing’s expression imdiately changed when she heard this.
This Xia Wan was obviously mocking her, implying that a big family did not raise her and that she had no upbringing or direction.
Thus, considering that things were almost settled, Xia Wan left the dicine with them and left with Xia Chen.
Zhou Xiaorou wanted to send her off, but Xia Wan rejected her.
As the two walked on the road, Xia Chen, who had been silent, finally couldn’t hold it in and asked, “Sister, why did you make them Zhou Xiaorou’s food tasters? Did you really not find the cause?”
To be honest, Xia Chen couldn’t understand his sister’s approach. If she could really cure Zhou Xiaorou’s illness, she could have just prescribed the right dicine. According to his sister’s character, she wouldn’t have delayed it if she couldn’t, but would have quickly admitted that she couldn’t cure it.
Hence, Xia Wan’s expression beca serious. “Brother, that’s because Sis Xiaorou isn’t sick. She’s poisoned. There are actually only four people who ca in close contact with Sis Xiaorou. One is Uncle Zhou, then nanny Luo Xing, her husband Li Yan, and the last is her best friend, Song Ya.
“We’ve seen everyone today. Brother, what do you think of them?”
Xia Chen was a little shocked when he heard Xia Wan. He did not expect Zhou Xiaorou’s condition to be caused by poisoning. Thus, instead of answering Xia Wan’s question directly, he asked, “Are you sure she was poisoned? these are all Zhou Xiaorou’s family and friends. If they were the ones who poisoned her, then she would be living in a wolf’s den!”
Xia Wan nodded. “Brother, I’m certain.”
Xia Chen saw that she wasn’t joking, and he started to seriously analyze her thoughts.
