Sick

That night passed peacefully.

It was the weekend, so Qi Ying woke up rather late. She looked at the dishes on the table and thought for a while.

She instructed Butler Ji to make some soup for her. Zhang Heng also had a portion.

Seeing her questioning look, the butler walked to her side and said in a low voice, "I only made one for you this morning, but Master saw it. Master said to make one for him too."

Qi Ying nodded, indicating that she understood.

Her father was really interesting. He even wanted to snatch a bowl of soup from her.

The herbs in this soup were used by witches for cultivation. It was very difficult for ordinary people to withstand it.

She sat in her seat and started eating. The Zhang family also went downstairs to eat breakfast one after another.

"We've already contacted the Yan family. We'll bring you over to get engaged soon." Zhang Heng looked at Qi Ying. "You'd better not play any tricks. The Zhang family brought you back to let you live a good life."

Qi Ying remained silent and continued to drink the soup in her bowl.

If the Yan family really wanted to see her, they would naturally contact her through Cui Yu. There was no need to contact Zhang Heng.

Meng Lin looked at the father and daughter worriedly. Yesterday, she was still very determined to let Qi Ying marry over, but now, she was a little hesitant.

Last night, she had dreamed of being pregnant with Qi Ying. This morning, her eyelids kept twitching.

Zhang Heng looked at his unruly daughter and picked up the soup on the table to drink it in one gulp.

The soup had a strong tomato smell. If one looked carefully, there was also a medicinal fragrance and a wine fragrance.

He stood up and did not want to talk to Qi Ying anymore. "Honey, come up for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Meng Lin put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhang Heng's face darken.

"What's wrong with that child? We need to settle the engagement as soon as possible. With her current state, can she marry into the Yan family obediently?"

Meng Lin frowned. "It's a pity for this child. Yan Hai and the others don't know when he will leave this world. If this child marries over, won't she quickly become a widow?"

Although Meng Lin knew that Qi Ying might still need to be a tool of the Zhang family to marry Yan Huai in the end, she was still a little sad at the thought of her biological daughter becoming a widow.

Moreover, this child was elegant and beautiful. If she married into another family and became a rich wife, she would probably be a figure who could stir up a storm in the social circle. She could also bring her out to show off.

"So what if she's a widow? When the time comes, she can be tied to Yan Huai's branch. With the help of Yan Hai and Yan Bin, we can firmly control the Yan family."

Zhang Heng looked at his indecisive wife and grabbed her shoulder. "We can't just let our years of planning go to waste."

Meng Lin frowned and looked at her husband. She knew that she could not disobey her husband. In the end, she nodded. "Then let's prepare more dowry for Qi Ying. After we control the Yan family's assets, we'll give some to that child."

Zhang Heng nodded. "Of course. After all, this child is also my biological daughter. I also hope that she can lead a good life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his abdomen and fell to the ground. Cold sweat broke out on his head.

Meng Lin saw his husband fall to the ground and quickly shouted for the servants for help.

A few servants and the butler carried Zhang Heng into the ambulance.

Qi Ying stood by the window of the attic and watched the ambulance leave.

Her spirit medium had some special abilities that allowed her to hear what others said.

She rarely used this ability, but when she went upstairs and heard about a widow, she still paid attention. She heard Meng Lin say that she wanted to prepare dowry for her, and Zhang Heng say that he could not treat her badly.

It was funny to ask someone to sacrifice their happiness and give them more dowry as compensation.

This family was really ridiculous to the extreme.

The matter of drinking the soup this time could be considered a small punishment for Zhang Heng.

Although this was not Qi Ying's intention, since Zhang Heng insisted on touching her things and affecting her life, it was only right for him to suffer a little.

In the next few days, the Zhang family was exceptionally calm.

Zhang Heng was hospitalized because of gastrointestinal problems. Zhang Ning and Meng Lin accompanied him.

Qi Ying was very quiet at home alone. She cultivated, divined, and cooked herbs every day.

She also found some statues and crosses placed in the back garden of the Zhang family.

Why would an ordinary person place a statue of the Virgin Mary at home?

Qi Ying studied it for a long time but could not figure out the reason. Perhaps it was just Zhang Heng's ignorance.
