Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Qin Qingfeng was stunned. He didn't expect Xia Yingying's insight to be so sharp that she could actually think that there was a problem with Jingjing's body, not that she could eat.

"Does Jingjing have diabetes?" Xia Yingying asked.

What is diabetes? Qin Qingfeng was puzzled.

"Suwen. Discussion on Strange Diseases says: 'If a person has a disease and his mouth tastes sweet... this is the overflow of the five elements, which is called spleen deficiency.' Jingjing has a spleen deficiency, but it is not diabetes. Instead, there are toxins in her body, which leads to a weak spleen and stomach. She can eat so much today, firstly because she is hungry, and secondly, there is indeed a factor of spleen deficiency, which is why she can eat so much. But Yingying, where did you hear about diabetes? I have been a doctor for more than 40 years and have never heard of diabetes. Where did you hear about it? Do you have any medical books or case records?"

Qin Qingfeng believed that he had been a doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau for many years, and had always been diligent, studying medicine hard and delving into medical texts. He believed that he already knew most of the diseases in the world.

But today, Xia Yingying, a country woman from the mountains, actually mentioned diabetes, a disease he had never heard of, which really aroused his determination and curiosity to find out the truth.

When Xia Yingying saw Qin Qingfeng asking again and again, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

In ancient Chinese medicine, diabetes is considered to be thirst.

When Xia Yingying saw Jingjing could eat, she immediately thought of diabetes. She didn't know the ancient saying and blurted it out.

"Oh, diabetes is actually thirst. I heard this from an old Chinese doctor in our village."

Xia Yingying said with a laugh.

Qin Qingfeng suddenly understood and nodded.

He said that he thought he had misdiagnosed the disease.

"Do you want to take Jingjing to the government office to take a look tomorrow?" Xia Yingying took the initiative to suggest.

Look at Jingjing's clothes. Even though they are tattered, she is a child raised in a wealthy family.

No one knows what Jingjing had been through that she ended up in their remote little village.

Was he robbed by bandits? Or was he kidnapped by human traffickers?

Although their village is remote, there are no bandits there, only ferocious beasts and birds in the mountains.

She had never heard of human traffickers, so it would be better to register with the government. Maybe Jingjing's family was looking for him after all.

"Let's send her to the government office tomorrow." Song Ruyi said in agreement.

Although this little girl is cute, she eats too much and wastes food.

She didn't dislike the little girl herself, but because Qin Qingfeng brought her here, she didn't like her.

"No."

"No."

Qin Qingfeng and Lu Ziren retorted in unison.

Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi looked at each other with question marks on their faces.

"Why?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren and Qin Qingfeng in confusion.

Lu Ziren and Qin Qingfeng exchanged glances.

"I know Jingjing. She is the daughter of my friend. He wrote a letter asking me to take care of her for a while." Lu Ziren took the initiative to speak.

Jingjing is not the daughter of his friend, but the daughter of his rival in the previous life. Her name is Huang Yuejing, and she is the only daughter of the youngest son of Huang Leike, a man with a different surname.

In his previous life, he heard the deputy general talk about Huang Leike’s family affairs.

There is a lot of chaos in Huang Leike's family right now because of the succession to the throne.

However, the only outstanding son Huang Zhengming and daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang died suddenly due to an accident, leaving only their only daughter. However, the little granddaughter was also in that accident. Their family is now involved in the issue of inheritance of the title, and the family is in chaos.

But his son and daughter-in-law did not die, but were secretly looking for their little daughter.

It was because Ye Xinghe helped find Huang Yuejing that he finally received a treasure from Huang Zhengming.

In his previous life, Ye Xinghe received help from Huang Zhengming in his official career. In the end, as if with divine help, he was promoted all the way and became the most favored minister around the emperor.

Huang Zhengming is undoubtedly a very capable person.

He is resourceful and resourceful, but his only weakness is his wife and daughter who love him the most.

In his previous life, he mistakenly trusted a treacherous villain and was hostile to Huang Zhengming all his life. In the end, he fell into Huang Zhengming's trap and died unjustly.

In this life, he never expected to meet Huang Zhengming's daughter.

He didn't know what kind of misfortune had happened to Huang Zhengming's daughter that she ended up in their small, remote village.

But since Huang Yuejing is here, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for him.

An opportunity to gain Huang Zhengming's trust.

Huang Zhengming is principled and attaches great importance to his promises.

If he could get Huang Zhengming's help in this life, his road to revenge would be much easier.

Xia Yingying frowned, but nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that Lu Ziren also disagreed to send Jingjing to the government, Qin Qingfeng frowned and glared at Lu Ziren with dissatisfaction, his eyes full of warnings.

He let Jingjing stay because this place was suitable for Jingjing's physical recuperation.

Jingjing's body has been poisoned.

If he had not taken Jingjing's pulse so carefully and had not treated so many patients, he would probably have diagnosed Jingjing's illness as common diabetes, just like other doctors.

The dosage of this poison is extremely complex. The medicines are non-toxic, but when put together, they will accumulate into poison and slowly consume the body.

He now needs to study the dosage of medicinal materials to detoxify Jingjing.

He didn't know Jingjing, but he knew Jingjing's grandfather. They looked a little similar, but now she was his patient and he wanted to cure her.

At that time, he was on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He knew all the dirty tricks in the palaces and government offices. The rural areas were simple, but there was no intrigue, so it was more suitable for Jingjing to recuperate.

In the countryside, he can slowly help eliminate all the toxins in Jingjing.

He knew what Lu Ziren had in mind and he couldn't stop him. The only thing he could do was to try his best to cure Jingjing.

Xia Yingying didn't care what Lu Ziren was going to do, and she couldn't control it even if she wanted to.

Song Ruyi originally wanted to wait for Yingying to take the opportunity to drive Qin Qingfeng out, but Yingying actually compromised.

I don’t know if Lu Ziren was kicked in the head by a donkey.

He actually wanted to keep Jingjing.

Could it be that Jingjing is the child of Lu Ziren and the woman outside?

The more Song Ruyi thought about it, the more this seemed possible. Otherwise, why would he keep the child at home for no reason?

Song Ruyi glanced at Jingjing and then looked up at Lu Ziren.

Only after confirming that they didn't look alike at all did he let out a sigh.

"You have to pay for the child's living expenses here." Song Ruyi said to Qin Qingfeng.

Qin Qingfeng was dumbfounded.

Song Ruyi continued, "You said you wanted to teach Xiaowei medicine, but Xiaowei only studied with you for one day. You have been idle these days. You eat and live in our house every day. Now you have a child, but you don't pay her a penny. There is no such thing in the world. Tell me, how much money do you want to give my Yingying for food every month?"

Qin Qingfeng was instantly choked by Song Ruyi's words and couldn't utter a word.

Only then did he remember that he had been coming to Xia Yingying's house for some time.

During this period, apart from eating, sleeping and going to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs every day, he did not bring any income to the family. He said he was teaching Lu Yuwei medical skills, but the teaching time was far less than five days.

As a man, he couldn't do such a shameless thing as asking Xia Yingying, a weak woman, to earn money to support the family.

What's more, Jingjing was picked up by him from outside, and Xia Yingying really had no obligation to help him raise the child.

"From now on, Jingjing is my goddaughter. I will pay for Jingjing's upbringing."

Lu Ziren took the initiative to come to the rescue.

It would have been fine if Lu Ziren hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Song Ruyi asked nervously.

"You...is this your daughter?"
