After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1207: 1206: Signs Are Showing

“Shiqian, what’s your view?” Having just spoken with Xia Chuyi, Mrs. Ou quickly turned her attention to Huo Shiqian and inquired.

Huo Shiqian cast a glance toward his wife—sure enough, both he and Chuyi were sorely lacking in experience.

Moreover, just as Mrs. Ou pointed out, there were no elders present at their home.

After pondering briefly, Huo Shiqian responded, “We’ll follow Mother-in-law’s advice on everything.”

Yet Xia Chuyi countered right away, “No need, Mom. Shiqian and I can remain at home.”

“We have an aunt there too…” Xia Chuyi shot Huo Shiqian a pointed glance and added, “She can handle the cooking easily.”

Was this Xia Chuyi subtly reminding Huo Shiqian about the “medicinal food” issue?

Huo Shiqian’s face stayed composed upon hearing Xia Chuyi, as he simply remarked, “Living anywhere works the same.”

“That said, given Chuyi’s condition…” Huo Shiqian continued, “I’ll summon a doctor to review some nourishing prescriptions carefully.”

“Shiqian’s right on this.” Mrs. Ou nodded eagerly at his words, declaring, “For such issues, traditional Chinese medicine outperforms Western approaches.”

“It can neutralize toxins via medicinal effects, keeping the baby unharmed.”

“Oh, and…” Mrs. Ou remarked suddenly then, “I remember Chuyi shared some medicinal food recipes before, didn’t she?”

“Those recipes are excellent,” Mrs. Ou praised. “My own health got much better after trying them.”

“Chuyi, got any medicinal recipes suitable for the fetus?” Mrs. Ou asked her directly.

At that, the pair shared a quick look.

“Let me recall…” Xia Chuyi pretended to think it over before answering earnestly, “Actually, yes, there are some.”

“If so, share the recipe soon, and Mom will prepare it for you.” Mrs. Ou urged promptly.

“Sure.” Xia Chuyi smiled back. “Then Shiqian can gather the herbs, and you just help brew them, Mom.”

“We should definitely consult the doctor Shiqian mentioned.” Ou ZhenTing interjected at that point.

This was because Ou ZhenTing had just recalled something crucial.

Previously, during the Wan Family incident, Huo Shiqian had called in a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor for Wang Zicheng.

Thanks to that, Wang Zicheng recovered without issues.

Huo Shiqian caught Ou ZhenTing’s meaning from his words and played along, assuring, “Rest assured, Father-in-law. I’ll make sure to bring in that doctor.”

“I’ll have him check Chuyi’s medicinal food recipes too before she starts them.”

Ou ZhenTing approved of Huo Shiqian’s thoughtfulness and nodded, replying, “That’s even better.”

Thus, the “medicinal food” concern was smoothly settled.

The Ou Family acted swiftly, determined to have Xia Chuyi return with them.

Mrs. Ou then led Xia Chuyi off to gather their things.

Once the mother-daughter duo stepped into the room.

In the living room, Ou ZhenTing’s face turned grave as he questioned Huo Shiqian, “Shiqian, do you know who poisoned us?”

Huo Shiqian kept his composure at the query, shaking his head. “I have some clues, but nothing definite yet.”

“Clues? The Xia Family?” Ou ZhenTing demanded coldly from the day before.

Huo Shiqian paused briefly before replying, “Regardless, let’s await word from Ling County.”

No matter the culprit’s identity?

Be it the Xia Family or someone else.

Huo Shiqian vowed not to spare them!

By the time Ling County’s report arrived, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi were already settled in at the Ou Family home.
