Let Me Protect You

Qiao Mei and Xia He then went into the bedroom. Jiang Shu had sat up and was drinking her medicine. Qiao Mei took a discreet sniff and could tell that it was medicine to boost essence and vitality. Jiang Shu was not that old yet, so why would she need such nourishing medicine?

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xia He's sister-in-law. I'm really sorry to have come to visit without giving you advance notice today. I'll definitely come and pay you a formal visit another day," Qiao Mei said apologetically.

"Don't say that. I have to thank you for what you did today! Without you, I don't know how much worse those two people outside would behave," Jiang Shu said weakly.

"Auntie, I had studied with an old Chinese doctor in the past. Will you let me take your pulse and check on your health?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Sure," Jiang Shu said as she looked at Qiao Mei kindly.
