Opening the Protective Barrier

Editor: Henyee Translations

"Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. It won't take effect in a day. Mr. Cang Xu has been drinking medicine for three days. Now, the problem has arisen. Even the gods won't be able to save him. I swear that if there's no problem with Long Qin's prescription, I won't be able to get married for the rest of my life." Song Xuelan was forced to swear.

Old Madam Cang and Old Master Cang thought for a moment and decided to go to the front to take a look. The moment they entered the living room, they felt the tense atmosphere in the living room. Cang Liu was surprised. "Grandpa, Grandma, why are you here?"

Old Madam Cang asked, "I heard from Miss Song that your elder brother is very ill."

Cang Liu sneered. "There's no such thing. It was Miss Song who suspected that I wanted to murder Big Brother and seize his position as the heir. She insisted on going upstairs to take a look. However, Big Brother had already instructed that no one is allowed to go upstairs to disturb his rest. Don't listen to outsiders sowing discord."

When the old lady heard this, she turned around and glared at Song Xuelan. "Miss Song, is this what you meant by my grandson being terminally ill?"

Song Xuelan said, "Old Madam, you should go upstairs and take a look at Mr. Cang Xu's condition first. After seeing him, you'll know that what I said is true."

Long Qin's prescription gave Song Xuelan a lot of confidence. She was now certain that Cang Xu was terminally ill, so she was very bold in her words and actions.

"Hmph." Old Madam Cang snorted coldly and went upstairs with a straight face. Old Master Cang did not go up and sat in the living room to entertain Minister Xu of the Ministry of Health.

Cang Liu helped Old Madam Cang upstairs. In the bedroom, Cang Xu was suffering from the same high fever as two days ago due to the medicine. He was sweating profusely and his entire body was shivering. However, as soon as his illness flared up, Long Qin, who was trapped in the protective shield, transmitted heat to him. Therefore, Cang Xu basically did not suffer much and his body began to warm up.

Just as Long Qin was thinking about how to leave, Old Madam Cang knocked on the door. "Cang Xu? I'm coming in, okay?"

After Cang Xu drank the medicine, it took effect. Although he had received Long Qin's heat transmission, he was not completely awake yet, so he did not reply to Old Madam Cang. Old Madam Cang was worried and directly pushed the door open to enter. Long Qin in her cute dragon form hurriedly hid under the blanket.

After Old Madam Cang turned on the lights, she frowned when she saw the protective shield. "What's going on? How do we turn this thing off?"

Cang Liu lied casually. "Oh, Big Brother is also vigilant when he sleeps. He's afraid that someone will harm him, so he activates the protective shield every night. When I hack into Big Brother's defense system, I can turn off the protective shield."

As he spoke, Cang Liu tapped on his phone. Soon, he hacked into Cang Xu's system and broke the protective shield.

After the protective shield was closed, Old Madam Cang walked to the bedside and found that although Cang Xu was unconscious and frowning, his face was rosy and did not look like he was terminally ill at all. She gradually relaxed.

Cang Liu sneered. "Grandma, do you believe me now? Big Brother is fine. Miss Long's prescription is very good. On the other hand, I don't know what kind of bad intentions Song Xuelan has. She likes to sow discord. If anyone marries such a woman, their family will definitely be in chaos."

Old Madam Cang immediately understood that Song Xuelan liked to sow discord. She nodded in agreement with Cang Liu's words. "Let's go out first. Don't disturb your brother's rest."

With her heart at ease, Old Madam Cang's footsteps became much lighter. After the bedroom door was closed by them, Long Qin was like a little bird that had escaped from its cage. She immediately crawled out of the blanket and fled.

Downstairs, Song Xuelan paced back and forth in the living room anxiously. When she saw Old Madam Cang coming downstairs, she hurriedly asked, "Old Madam, do you believe what I said now?"

Old Madam Cang did not even look at Song Xuelan as she walked to the side of Old Master Cang. "It's fine. He's sleeping soundly."

Old Master Cang heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Song Xuelan lost her composure. "Impossible! Old Madam, did you see wrongly?!"

Old Madam Cang's face also sank. "Miss Song, what do you mean by this? Could it be that an old woman like me also wants to harm my biological grandson? Are you only happy if he's terminally ill?"

Song Xuelan was embarrassed by the question and did not know what to do.

After Old Madam Cang finished speaking, she no longer looked at Song Xuelan. Instead, she exchanged pleasantries with Minister Xu. "Minister Xu, thank you for rushing over in the middle of the night. I know you're really concerned about Cang Xu's health, but I've already gone upstairs to take a look and he's doing well. Although Miss Long came back from the penal planet, she's really capable. I believe that the prescription she prescribed won't harm his life."
