Chapter 216: Chapter 216 The Climax of the Revelation of One’s Origins Must See Ten Thousand More (5)

An Yiqing furrowed her brows, confusion flashing in her watery eyes. Why would this happen? Previously, she had diluted the Spirit Spring from her space and administered it to Kong Shi, and Kong Shi’s condition of physical exhaustion had gradually disappeared over the past few days. Why did this situation start happening again last night?

The girl lowered her gaze, eating while rapidly analyzing the situation in her mind. The phenomenon of Kong Shi being sleepy only started after she began taking the medicine Yiqing had provided. Although she had been physically weak before, she hadn’t experienced organ failure. So... An Yiqing’s eyes flickered, and she had a faint suspicion in her heart.

After breakfast, the girl had played five or six rounds of chess with Old Master An, and it was only then that Kong Shi slowly came downstairs.

"Xiao Qing, I’m really sorry; I woke up too late," said Kong Shi, her eyes brightening considerably upon seeing An Yiqing as she hurriedly approached her with affection.

"Auntie, it’s not a problem," An Yiqing replied with a smile, shaking her head as if it were nothing and asked, "Auntie, what time did you take the medicine yesterday?"

Kong Shi paused, then said after thinking, "It was probably after five in the afternoon. After you left yesterday noon, I went to Niuniu’s room and stayed for a while. I accidentally fell asleep and didn’t wake up until five. I didn’t expect to feel sleepy again after taking the medicine. It really is tough getting old; I’m not as energetic as I used to be."

Upon hearing Kong Shi’s words, a sharp light flashed through the depths of An Yiqing’s clear eyes. Kong Shi didn’t notice anything amiss, but An Muyun, weathered and sharp, instantly picked up on the fleeting murderous intent from the girl. His hand, holding a chess piece, paused, and he looked up at An Yiqing in surprise, thoughtful.

The girl quickly concealed her thoughts and said with a sweet, cheerful voice, "Auntie is not old at all. If we went out together, everyone would think we’re sisters! Auntie, you should take your medicine earlier today, taking it too late is not good for absorption."

"Ah! Okay, I’ll listen to Xiao Qing!" Kong Shi agreed, and she turned to instruct Aunt Zhang to prepare the medicine immediately.

Seeing that Kong Shi had just gotten out of bed, An Yiqing insisted on taking her to the dining room for a meal. By this time, Old Master An had been called away by an old friend and Old Lady An went to the garden to water the flowers. In the entire villa, only An Yiqing, Kong Shi, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li who were cleaning the kitchen were left.

"Auntie," the girl’s ears twitched slightly as she whispered, "Who has been preparing your medicine?"

"Hmm?" Kong Shi was taken aback and replied with confusion, "Aunt Zhang has always been in charge of preparing my medicine. She said that she studied Ancient Medicine for a while at home and is quite good at controlling the heat needed for Chinese herbs, so she’s been responsible for it all along. Xiao Qing, what is it?"

An Yiqing understood and kept her expression neutral, shaking her head nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, I was just asking. Auntie, you should eat some more."

Kong Shi, seeing the girl’s obedient demeanor, quickly brushed aside the slight doubt in her mind and focused on An Yiqing. Today, she actually ate a bit more for breakfast than usual.

After the meal, Kong Shi took An Yiqing to Niuniu’s room, pulling her to sit on the pristine white bed.

"Xiao Qing, look, this is Niuniu’s room," Kong Shi said with pride as if showing off a treasure, "I started setting this room up when Niuniu was just born. Every corner and every ornament in the room were carefully selected and prepared by Zisheng and me. Back then, we were filled with hope for the future. But my Niuniu disappeared before she ever got to live here."

As Kong Shi spoke, a bittersweet smile and a hint of longing crossed her face, "Xiao Qing, the first time I saw you, I felt very comfortable. Sometimes I wonder, if Niuniu were still here, would she have grown up to stand tall and graceful like you? I truly hope I’ll have the chance to see her come home and live in this room that her dad and I designed for her."
