Chapter 358: 358: Absolute Release

He just met Liu Sisi’s eyes and then took his leave. Before leaving, he could not help but take a worried glance at Liu Sisi.

Madam Gan Senior, who was sitting next to them, seemed oblivious and casually picked some delicacies from the bowl: “Come, come, come, this is one of our signature dishes at Juxian Restaurant – drunken duck with mushrooms. Give it a try, is it delicious?”

While talking, she put several pieces of duck meat into the bowl in front of her.

“Thank you, grandmother.”

Liu Sisi smiled and then picked up the bamboo chopsticks to start tasting.

“And this braised fish in soybean sauce, you should also try…” While talking, she picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it in front of Liu Sisi.

The strong smell of fish immediately rushed into Liu Sisi’s nostrils, and she felt sick to her stomach immediately. She covered her mouth with her hand and retreated to the corner of the room.

At this sight, Madam Gan Senior immediately understood what was happening.

“Oh my! Child, are you pregnant?”

The old lady hurriedly stood up from her chair and poured a cup of hot water.

Liu Sisi did not hide, after all, this was something she could not hide. She nodded shyly: “Yes, the doctor said it’s still early… so… the pregnancy is not very stable.”

“Come on, sit down, we’ll talk slowly.”

Madam Gan Senior rushed to help her sit down and ordered the servants to remove the fish dish.

“Feeling sick at the smell of fish is common during pregnancy, are you feeling better now?”

Madam Gan Senior had a face full of smiles, a flash of radiance in her eyes, and she gently patted Liu Sisi’s hand: “Look at you, silly child. Now that you are pregnant, why are you still carrying this filthy and dirty thing? If this thing really hurts the baby, you won’t be able to do anything.”

“Grandmother… what do you mean?”

Liu Sisi looked surprised. She genuinely did not expect this.

She believed that Madam Gan Senior wouldn’t say this without reason.

Madam Gan Senior casually lifted a sachet hanging from the corner of her skirt, chuckled coldly: “Grandmother doesn’t have many skills, but my nose is quite sensitive and can smell things that shouldn’t exist. However, this sachet you’re wearing contains harmful things like musk. I can’t believe that you, being pregnant, are still carrying this damaging sachet, I’m… speechless!”

At the moment, Liu Sisi’s face could only be described as pale, her body was slightly trembling.

After quite a while, she pointed at the sachet and gritted her teeth: “Grandmother, are you saying that this… could really cause…”

“Short-term inhalation might not matter much, but if you wear it for a long time, this harmful thing will not only cause miscarriage, but may also result in a malformed child. No one around you has taught you these things, so it’s understandable that you know nothing about it. Keep this away. Even if grandmother doesn’t know who gave this to you, I fear that person harbors ill-intent towards you. You must be very careful!”

Madam Gan Senior repeatedly instructed, and then passed on to her many unheard harmful methods.

Afterwards, she sighed and held her hand: “You have been Ms. Gan’s granddaughter for a while. It’s just that your grandmother has been busy and hasn’t had the time to tell you about the severity of this matter. It’s my fault, I have failed in my duties as a grandmother. I feel ashamed!”

This statement made Liu Sisi even more embarrassed.

She had seen a lot of palace rivalries in her previous life where people were harmed by such sachets, but she always thought it was far from her, until this moment she was shocked to realize that she had unknowingly entered such a plot.

“Grandmother, don’t worry, Sisi will keep in mind grandmother’s teachings and never forget!” Liu Sisi said earnestly.

“Very good! With your words, grandmother is at ease!”

Madam Gan Senior smiled with squinted eyes: “Wait until the New Year, when visitors come to the capital city, you will be formally added to the Gan family tree. This way, others will not gossip.”

Does this mean she officially recognizes me as her goddaughter?

“Thank you, grandmother.”

When Liu Sisi bid farewell to Madam Gan Senior and left Juxian Restaurant, a feeling of heaviness that she had never felt before filled her heart.

She looked down at the sachet in her hand and handed it to Di Yelei: “Here, you hold this for now, we are going to Old Doctor He’s Clinic.”

“What is this? Where did you get this? By the way, Sisi, could you make a sachet for me one day?” Di Yelei blocked her way with a shy face.

“Get out of the way! There’s filth in there, let’s go! Don’t talk anymore!”

After saying that, she walked towards Old Doctor He’s Clinic.

“Filth?”

Di Yelei stared at the sachet for a long time, almost throwing it away, but then remembered Liu Sisi’s words and hurriedly followed.

In the elegant room on the third floor of the Juxian Restaurant, an additional figure appeared across from Madam Gan Senior.

The figure stood facing the window, looking down at Liu Sisi and Di Yelei walking away from below until they were out of sight before he started speaking.

“What do you think? Was she telling the truth about everything just now?”

“When she was talking about what happened at Black Dragon Mountain and the Chrysanthemum Banquet, her aura was very calm, not like she was faking it. And what she said was close to our investigation, so she probably wasn’t lying.”

“We can’t ignore this matter.”

The person still didn’t turn around, he thought for a moment: “Is there really something wrong with the sachet on her body? Or… are these just words you said casually?”

You flatter me too highly, I the old. It’s just a sachet. How could I resort to such a crude method to hurt someone?”

Whoever would want to harm her yet leaves so many tails, should the perpetrator be called foolish, or should Liu Sisi be called lucky that she does not even know these basic things?

If Liu Sisi was here, wouldn’t she jump up in anger!

Are there really people who harm others with sachets?

This was something totally unexpected, so she wasn’t prepared for it at all.

Liu Sisi hurried to Old Doctor He’s clinic. Today, there weren’t many people in the clinic, just one sitting doctor.

The medicine pageboy recognized Liu Sisi and quickly went into the inner hall to invite Old Doctor He.

Liu Sisi looked a little apologetic: “Old Doctor He, today is Minor New Year. I’m sorry to disturb you and your family during mealtime, Sisi really feels bad. Sisi…”

“Enough, we’re good friends, there’s no need for these words.”

Old Doctor He shook his head: “You didn’t come to my clinic today just to chat, did you? Let’s get to the point, get the treatment done earlier, then chat.”

“Thank you very much, Old Doctor He!” Liu Sisi was overjoyed when she heard this!
