Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Also Considered a Form of Indirect Punishnt Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Also Considered a Form of Indirect Punishnt “What does Great Grandfather an?” Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan in a low voice after they got back in the car, heading to Ling Mingrui’s villa, “Does Great Grandfather really want other descendants of the Ling Family to leave Yanjing?”
“If that were really the case, that would be great,” Ling Ruonan sighed softly, “It seems that Great Grandfather is very angry about the poisoning incident.”
“His staff also were negligent; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been drugged,” Luo Ziling said with retrospect fear, “Just like you said, luckily it was only croton. If it had been so other kind of violent poison, it could have been the end of it.”
Ling Ruonan said expressionlessly, “Huang Chen received a major derit as a punishnt, and the other staff mbers were also disciplined. This is still under the condition that the old master didn’t want to pursue the matter further. If we really investigated seriously, the person who drugged him would definitely be severely punished, maybe even thrown in jail, and his staff would face prison as well. The old master didn’t want the Ling Family to be involved in a scandal; that’s why he handled it in a low-key manner.”
“So sending the descendants of the Ling Family out is also so sort of indirect punishnt?”
Ling Ruonan nodded, agreeing with Luo Ziling’s inference.
Luo Ziling didn’t ask any more questions.
When they arrived at Ling Mingrui’s villa, Ling Mingrui hadn’t returned yet, but Xie Enhua was inside.
Xie Enhua was very happy to see Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan.
“Mom, are you sick?” Ling Ruonan was surprised to find signs of a cold in Xie Enhua, “Did you get a cold from the snow?”
“I shoveled snow in the yard yesterday, sweated a little, and didn’t pay attention to keeping warm, so I caught a cold, but it’s no big deal, just a cold,” Xie Enhua said nonchalantly, “According to the healthcare doctor, catching a cold occasionally is actually not harmful but beneficial. After getting a cold, the body’s immune system gets activated. While fighting off the cold virus, it also helps to eliminate other abnormal cells. People who frequently catch colds are much less likely to develop cancer. Ling’er, isn’t that right?”
“That’s absolutely correct,” Luo Ziling confird what Xie Enhua said, “People who get sick from ti to ti are indeed less likely to get seriously ill. Those who rarely catch colds and seldom suffer minor ailnts, when they do fall ill, it’s usually sothing serious. Because minor health disturbances, like small illnesses, can’t knock down their strong immune systems, hence the disturbance is only minor and localized. Only super strong pathogens can topple them. And once their immune systems are breached, it’s difficult to stop the spread of the disease, and that’s when the trouble becos serious. But for those who often catch minor illnesses, like colds, their immune systems are always in an activated state, and potential major diseases, like newly mutated tumor cells, are cleared by the immune system, so the likelihood of developing serious illnesses decreases.”
“It seems I should catch a cold more often,” Xie Enhua laughed happily, “I rarely get colds!”
“Grandma, if it’s just a cold and there are no other severe symptoms, then it’s not a problem; without dication, relying on the activated immune function can lead to recovery. But after a cold, the body’s resistance to disease weakens, making it easy to contract other complications. When a cold starts, the body’s resistance is compromised, because the cold virus defeats the immune defenses which leads to the illness. At this stage, if other bacteria or viruses take advantage of the situation, many complications can arise. So, a cold should not be underestimated; we need to prevent complications and provide symptomatic treatnt,” Luo Ziling explained, then said to Xie Enhua, “Grandma, I will prescribe a formula for you in a mont. Just take the dicine according to it for three days, and you’ll be assured to get better quickly, without severe cold symptoms.”
“Okay,” Xie Enhua agreed cheerfully, then asked Luo Ziling, “Is there no need for other treatnts?”
“No need,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Actually, this dication is also just to prevent complications. Even with just the symptoms of a cold, it’s fine not to treat.”
“I am currently taking other cold dicine, so should I continue taking that?” Xie Enhua asked further.
Luo Ziling shook his head, “No need, those dicines have significant side effects, the dicine I gave Grandma doesn’t have any.”
“Ling’er, if Grandma feels unwell in the future, co over and help diagnose and treat her,” Ling Ruonan interjected in ti.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
After talking about matters related to the cold, Xie Enhua brought Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling into the room and ntioned the recent incident where soone had added croton seed in Ling Jinhua’s dicine.
“There really are a lot of ingrates among the younger generation of the Ling Family, to even sche against the Great Grandfather,” Xie Enhua looked at Luo Ziling, sighed, and said, “Your Grandfather is very angry, personally investigating this matter, and has almost found out who’s behind it. However, this will not be blown up, the culprit’s identity will not be made public, nor will there be any open punishnt. So, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“Mom, on the way here, I’ve already talked to Ling’er about this,” Ling Ruonan smiled and comforted Xie Enhua, “He won’t take it to heart. Grandfather is now safe, and he’s very happy about that.”
Luo Ziling just smiled and didn’t say much.
“Good boy, you have been wronged,” Xie Enhua held Luo Ziling’s hand, “Don’t stoop to their level. I’ll fight for your rights in front of the old man. I won’t allow them to sche against you and your mother, you two have had enough hardships over the last twenty years.”
Xie Enhua’s words almost brought tears to Ling Ruonan’s eyes, she forced a smile and said, “Mom, it’s okay, don’t make it difficult for Dad, after all, he’s the head of the family.”
As they were talking, Ling Mingrui ca back.
Seeing the three people chatting in the room, he walked in as well.
“While you’re all here, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you,” Ling Mingrui sat down on the sofa with a serious face and said to the three, “About the matter of croton seed powder being mixed into the Great Grandfather’s dicine, I’ve already investigated it clearly. Although Father is not intending to pursue it, I will not let such things happen. Ziling, who was falsely accused and helped the Great Grandfather regain his health, I will definitely compensate you; the instigators will also be punished. But let’s not bring this up again, as it’s a disgraceful matter. If it were to spread, it would be laughed at by outsiders and cause people to look down upon the Ling Family.”
All three nodded their heads but said nothing.
“Nannan, what do you think would be a good way to punish them?” Ling Mingrui proactively asked Ling Ruonan.
“Dad, that should be decided by you and Grandfather,” Ling Ruonan shook her head, but then she repeated what Ling Jinhua had said earlier, “We just ca back from Grandfather’s, and Ling’er helped him treat again. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be fine after defecating a couple of tis this afternoon and tomorrow. When we were leaving, he told us that so of the younger descendants of the Ling Family have co of age and should go out to gain so experience.”
“Then let them stay in other places for a few years before returning,” Ling Mingrui imdiately expressed his opinion.
