“Let me think about it.” Guan Tong knew that she couldn’t be careless of her treatment. After all, it was a matter of life and death.

Lu Han was completely catching on. If this girl could save him, he would reward her with something. If not, he knew exactly what he wanted to do to her. At this moment, the Old Madam’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

“Tongtong, open the door.” A loud noise filled the room.

Guan Tong was stunned as she looked at Lu Han. Why would the Old Madam come to visit at this time? Guan Tong wondered if Old Madam knew that Doctor Han was here just a while back.

“Quickly! Lie down now.” If the Old Madam saw Lu Han up and walking like this, Guan Tong would be in big trouble. Lu Han was obedient at this moment and lay down as she asked.

“Grandmother.” Guan Tong opened the door and welcomed the old woman with a big smile.

The Old Madam saw that Guan Tong was also smiling. “Tongtong, here is the medication for today. Don’t forget to give them to Han’er.” Guan Tong looked at the black herbal mixture and sighed in her heart. It seemed that this would anger Lu Han and cost her her life again.

“Okay, Grandmother. I will make sure Lu Han takes his medication, and I’ll take good care of him.” Guan Tong obediently took the herbal medical bowl from the servant. Lu Han, who was lying on the bed, twitched the corner of his mouth. He was amused that Guan Tong was suddenly obedient as she talked to his grandmother.

“Alright, then I will leave first. You give it to Lu Han, alright?” The Old Madam reluctantly poked her head into the couple’s chamber.

“Yes, Grandmother, don’t you worry.” Guan Tong did not dare to keep the Old Madam waiting any longer. 

After sending off the Old Madam, Guan Tong held the medicine bowl and closed the door. “Young Master, quickly get up and drink these.” Guan Tong wanted to keep the Old Madam away from seeing Lu Han drinking the medicinal mixture she had given him. Lu Han could tell what Guan Tong was thinking from the look in her eyes.

“Stop looking at me like that. I don’t want to drink it. You’re unbelievable…” Lu Han sat up, took the medicine bowl, and poured it into the flower pot.

“Don’t just pour it into a flower pot! This medicine is too rich that flowers can’t take it. Can’t you see that they’re so wilted already?”

Lu Han raised his eyebrows. He felt that the girl was cluelessly making trouble out of nothing.

“Why don’t you drink it so it won’t go to waste.” Lu Han suggested.

“No, no.” Guan Tong hurriedly waved her hand. “Forget it. Grandmother was too kind to you.” Guan Tong didn’t want to drink it. She would’ve gotten a nosebleed as soon as she swallowed the herbal mixture.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At that moment, there were knocks on the door. Guan Tong walked over and opened the door. It was the Old Madam who had recently left and returned.

“Grandmother, what are you…” Guan Tong was confused.

“I’ve thought about it. It’s safer to watch Han’er drink the medicine. This way, I can see if Han’er has any reactions.”

Guan Tong was so scared when she heard the Old Madam’s words that her hair stood up. If the Old Madam saw the medicine in the flower pot, Guan Tong would be in big trouble.

“Grandmother, the medicine has already been fed. Lu Han drank it already.”

“He drank it? Oh, that’s good. Tongtong, is there anything you need help with? We’ve all been through this before. It’s not a big deal if you need a little help.” The Old Madam smiled happily when she heard this. 

Guan Tong thought the man would undoubtedly have some reaction if he drank the medicine. Could it be that the Old Madam just wanted to watch from the side as she fed him the herbal mixture? The Old Madam walked past Guan Tong and entered the chamber as she spoke. Guan Tong hurriedly chased after her in panic. Liu Juan quickly followed in, and she had to cover her nose from the smell of the herbal mixture.

“Hmm. Why is this flower pot soaking wet?” The flower pot that Liu Juan saw was the one that Lu Han poured the medicine into earlier.

Guan Tong sighed. She already warned Lu Han not to pour the herbal mixture into the flower pot. He did so, and now someone took notice of that suspiciously soaking wet flower pot. When the Old Madam heard Liu Juan’s words, she was also puzzled. It indeed looked like someone just poured a large amount of liquid into the pot.

“I just recently poured water in there.” Guan Tong awkwardly explained.

When the Old Madam heard this, she was doubtful. However, Liu Juan felt that it was better for her no matter the problem. Moreover, Liu Juan could smell a strong odor of medicinal herbs from the flower pot. She couldn’t help but feel happy. It seemed that the newlyweds did not share a bed. This way, the hope for Guan Tong and Lu Han’s child and an heir to the Lu family dimmed. Liu Juan and that woman still had a chance at becoming the head of the family. Of course, Liu Juan did not want this matter to be discovered by the Old Madam. Moreover, she hoped to keep it a secret for as long as possible. 

“Next time, don’t just pour this much water into the flower pot.” Liu Juan said.

Guan Tong was a bright girl. When she heard this, she somewhat understood Liu Juan’s intentions. However, it was also good to have a ‘heavenly intervention’ to prevent the Old Madam from suspecting anything strange with the soaking wet flower pot.

“Why isn’t Han’er responding?” Liu Juan said. The Old Madam was no longer thinking about the flower pot, and her attention was only directed at her grandson.

“I need more time. He was just like this last night.” Guan Tong wanted to drag it out for as long as she possibly could.

“Mother, why are we bothering the young couple here? There might be good news coming in a few days.” Liu Juan was not interested in watching the young couple having a “good time”, let alone watching her nephew’s “good time”.

“Then we’ll leave. If you have something to ask, just ask. There’s no need to be embarrassed.” The Old Madam looked at Guan Tong’s red face and thought it made sense. It looked like she might hear about the good news in a few days..
