Chapter 214: Ouyang Zhi's Gift

214. Chapter 214: Ouyang Zhi's Gift

Qiao Sheng said solemnly: "I must make it for you; you rarely come, how could I let you just leave like that?"

Finished speaking.

Qiao Sheng suddenly thought of Feng Qingyang and the others, she asked: "Grandmother Ouyang, did you come here to see Grandfather Feng and the others?"

"Not yet."

Ouyang Zhi replied to her.

Qiao Sheng immediately said: "Then I'll send someone to invite Grandfather Feng and the others to come here for dinner together?"

"Good!"

Ouyang Zhi had no objection; this way she also saved herself another trip.

Qiao Sheng sent An Liu to fetch Feng Qingyang and the others.

Upon hearing that Ouyang Zhi had come to Qiao Sheng's home, they immediately followed An Liu to her house.

They hadn't seen each other in years.

As soon as Feng Qingyang and the others saw Ouyang Zhi, they began chatting with her.

Qiao Sheng kept them company for a short while, then went to prepare dinner.

She walked a distance away.

Qiao Sheng suddenly remembered that the gift Ouyang Zhi gave her was still in her pocket, so she took it out to look.

The box opened.

Two night pearls appeared before her eyes.

These two night pearls were one white and one green, smooth and lustrous; at a glance they were extraordinary.

Not only were they of fine quality, but they were also large.

Qiao Sheng felt they were a bit hot to hold; they were far too precious.

Tonight.

Ouyang Zhi was staying at Qiao Sheng's home.

Early in the morning.

Qiao Sheng saw that her room door was open, went over and saw two letters and a box placed on the table.

Letters.

One letter was for her.

One letter was for Shi Yun.

It was unknown who the box was for.

Qiao Sheng opened the letter addressed to her and began to read.

"Qiao girl, I've entrusted Shi Yun to your care; I left without saying goodbye because I was worried he wouldn't be able to part with me. The box on the table is for you, it's a gift—you must accept it."

Qiao Sheng didn't know what to say.

She examined the box before her, slowly reached out and opened it; before her eyes lay a yellowed book and a row of exquisite small bottles.

What are these?

Out of curiosity, Qiao Sheng picked up the book and flipped through it; without looking, one wouldn't know, but upon looking she was completely stunned.

The book Ouyang Zhi gave her was not an ordinary book; it was a book about how to administer poison and how to detoxify.

She put the book down.

Qiao Sheng examined each bottle; the first three contained poison, while the next five were different: detox pills, whitening pills, scar-removal pills, body-strengthening pills, and yearly longevity pills.

The detox pills numbered up to ten, while the rest had only three each.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help wondering what kind of person Ouyang Zhi was.

Shi Yun got up.

Upon hearing Qiao Sheng say that his grandmother had passed away, he burst into loud sobs.

He hadn't cried like that in a long time.

Qiao Sheng sighed inwardly, took out the letter his grandmother had given him, and said: "Shi Yun, don't cry yet—look at the letter your grandmother gave you."

Shi Yun read while crying.

After finishing, he wiped his tears clean and said: "Aunt Qiao, my grandmother said she would come to fetch me in a few days."

He had originally wanted to call Qiao Sheng "older sister".

Shi Jin and the others all refused to let him call her that.

There was nothing to be done.

He could only call her as before.

Qiao Sheng nodded: "Mm."

End of January.

That day, Lan Yue Niang finished her postpartum confinement.

Qiao Jinzhi went into labor; after a day and night of ordeal, she gave birth to a big, fat boy. Because the child was somewhat large, she nearly died in the delivery room, but she pulled through.

Hu Cuicui and the others were overjoyed upon hearing the news.

Hu Cuicui immediately went to Lan Yue Niang and snapped: "Lan Yue Niang, my daughter has given birth to a son; she will immediately become the young mistress of the Zhao family. Just wait until my daughter becomes the young mistress of the Zhao family—see how I'll deal with you!"
