The two old people were well versed in these matters, and they soon understood completely.

When the explanation was over, Old Master Qin did not exclaim or show any signs of surprise. He just glanced at her in a puzzled manner and asked, “How did you grow a brain like that?”

He even seemed rather gloomy!

With a hint of envy and jealousy!

Gu Qingyao smiled.

After she had completed her preparations, she began to perform acupuncture on Jiang Yiru. She only brought the medicine to her after half an hour.

It had been kept warm in the pot and it was still hot!

After that, Gu Qingyao handed Old Master Qin a medicine bottle. “Take the pills inside once every morning and evening. I will come back in ten days and continue the acupuncture.”

Old Master Qin hurriedly took the bottle and cradled it as if it was something precious.

It was late and Gu Qingyao hurried home.

Mo Beihan left after seeing Gu Qingyao back to the Gu house. Before he left, he suddenly said, “Yao Yao, stay at home for the next few days. I have some matters to attend to.”

Gu Qingyao was startled. “Does it have to do with Zhang Qiang?”

“Mhm!”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “It's very difficult to solve, isn't it? Will you be in danger?”

Mo Beihan immediately laughed. “No, I'm only worried about you.”

“Don't worry, I've only just arrived and very few people have noticed me. Zhang Qiang also doesn't know who I am. It will take him at least three to four days to trace me. During this time, I have to go and do some things, so… will you stay at home like a good girl?”

Gu Qingyao was still worried. She dragged him into her room, closed the door, and asked him softly, “This… If the Zhang family is very powerful, you can't fight them. As for the Ji family, since Zhang Qiang dared to treat Ji Mingyue like that, he definitely isn't afraid of them.

“This… Elder Brother Beihan, are you really sure you can do it? Can you find someone to help you?”

Mo Beihan's eyes gleamed with amus.e.m.e.nt. He looked at her. “What are you trying to say?”

“I… I… I mean, have you found someone more powerful to help you! Have you thought of looking for a powerful supporter? This… don't think that just because you're a peasant that you can't beat Zhang Qiang. In the past… perhaps… your… your father… had some connections?”

Gu Qingyao spoke very carefully, because Mo Beihan's father was a lousy fellow.

At that time, he had married Jiang Yingqiu and had two sons in order to improve his life in the Southern Lake Brigade. Later on, his family had managed to transfer him back and he had left without a word, never to return. There had been no news of him at all.

As a result, Jiang Yingqiu had to raise the two children single-handedly and later on, she even had to raise her grandchildren.

Mo Beihan hated his father because of that. In his previous life, Mo Beihan did not have any feelings towards his father. Later on, when he joined the Mo family, he had never shown his father any courtesy.

Gu Qingyao would not have mentioned it if she felt she had any other choice. The problem was that they were worried about the entire Zhang family, and not just Zhang Qiang.

If it was just Zhang Qiang, she could think of a solution. Her medical skills were so good that she could certainly think of some way to deal with Zhang Qiang.

But she could not deal with the entire Zhang family. They needed some secular influence to solve the problem.

Mo Beihan's surest bet was the Mo family.

At first, Gu Qingyao had a.s.sumed that Mo Beihan would be angry when he heard what she had to say. But she was surprised to see that the fellow just kept looking at her with a smile.

By the time she finished, his smile had grown even broader. He slowly lowered his head and drew closer to her. The naughty smile lurking in his eyes was just too… too hateful!

“What… what are you laughing at?”
