Qi Mianmian gestured for Qi Zhen to come closer. She said in a low voice, “The drugs I gave them are different from other people’s. It’s not easy to diagnose that it’s an allergic reaction. Go and complete your mission first. You’ll be able to see the results very soon. I won’t let you down.”

When she drugged Qian Jun and Shi Xiaorong, she had prepared a portion for Qi Moli as well.

However, they were given delayed-action allergy powder, while Qi Moli was given powder that would cause an immediate reaction.

This way, the three of them would suffer an allergic reaction at the same time.

This would allow everyone to form countless ideas about the three of them.

The house was not soundproof, so Qi Mianmian could hear the shouting outside.

Qi Moli kept complaining that she felt uncomfortable and asked Elderly Lady Qi and Zhao Xiulian to give her money so she could visit the clinic.

Elderly Lady Qi and Zhao Xiulian could not bear to part with the money, so they discouraged Qi Moli from going to the clinic. They said that the rash would be fine after a while.

Third Aunt Qi Shan and Qi Tian remained silent.

After Qi Zhen ran out, she exclaimed, “I don’t think Eldest Cousin has an ordinary allergy. Why don’t we send her to the clinic?”

Qi Moli felt like she had met her savior and hurriedly said, “Grandma, Mom, Zhen’er is right. Please, please give me money and let me go to the clinic.”

Elderly Lady Qi rebuked, “Why would you ever go to the clinic? Take some Japanese catnip, catmint, sarsaparilla, and cicada skin, then boil everything together to make a soup and drink it. This prescription for allergies is very useful. Many people have recovered from their allergic reactions after using it.”

Although only the original Qi Mianmian had actually studied medicine under Old Master Qi for two years, everyone in the family knew some simple medical prescriptions.

Especially Elderly Lady Qi, who knew all the common treatment methods.

Qi Zhen sensed that this wouldn’t allow her to complete Qi Mianmian’s task. Her eyes darted to the side and she said, “We only have Japanese catnip and sarsaparilla at home. We don’t have the other two ingredients, and the Chinese medicine shop is far away from home. I think it’s better to let Cousin visit the clinic first. If the doctor there says that the medicine is cheap, we’ll treat it. If it’s expensive, we’ll make Chinese medicine…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Mianmian, who was in the house, said loudly, “Second Sister, tell Grandma that I’ll pay for Second Sister’s medical fees today. Big Sister, come in and get the money.”

Everyone was speechless.

Qi Moli didn’t know what to say either.

She sensed that something was amiss, but she could not put her finger on it.

Furthermore, the rashes on her body were getting more and more widespread. It was extremely itchy to the point of being unbearable, causing her to be unable to think about anything else.

Qi Tian did not want to go back to the house to get the money, so she dawdled.

Seeing this, Qi Zhen quickly went back into the house. In a short while, she took out five yuan and stuffed it into Qi Moli’s hands. “Go quickly, I’ll take care of Mianmian at home.”

In reality, she wanted to go and watch the fun, but Qi Mianmian wouldn’t let her go. Qi Mianmian said that she was afraid that Qi Zhen wouldn’t be able to hide her emotions, and the plot would be exposed. She thought about it and agreed, so she decided to stay at home and continue discussing life with Qi Mianmian.

In the past, she wasn’t able to get a single word out of her youngest sister, no matter how hard she tried. Her elder sister was busy too, so after having both her job and her boyfriend stolen from her, Qi Zhen had nowhere to vent her frustrations. Now that her younger sister had become livelier, she finally had someone to complain to.

…

What else could Elderly Lady Qi and Zhao Xiulian say? The very person who had been ripped off had shelled out money for Qi Moli to visit the clinic. And so much money at one go, too!

They immediately decided to bring Qi Moli to the clinic.

Qi Moli only had a rash and was fully able to walk. She didn’t need anyone to accompany her, but both Elderly Lady Qi and Zhao Xiulian were eyeing the five yuan that Qi Mianmian had given them, so they unanimously requested to accompany her.

The three of them left noisily.

Qi Tian went back to her room in a huff and said resentfully, “Mianmian, are you worried that you have too much money?”

Qi Mianmian smiled. “No, I’m just thinking that this is a minor issue…”

Then, she told Qi Tian about how Qi Moli wanted to destroy her.

Qi Tian was even angrier than Qi Zhen after hearing this. “Qi Moli is so ruthless. However, I know why she did this to you. It’s because she likes Xue Ming, but Xue Ming has always ignored her.”

Qi Mianmian: “…”

Crap, it was yet another problem to do with romance.
