Yunyi asked her to boil fresh water in the kitchen and bring it into the room. She took the silver needle from her pocket and placed it in the bowl. Meanwhile, where her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn’t see, she slipped her finger into the bowl, adding two drops of Spatial Spiritual Spring water.
She had no choice. If she didn’t intervene, the pregnant woman would be in grave danger. Not only would the child in her belly be lost, but the young pregnant woman, Juanzi, even if she didn’t die, would be left crippled. The methods these people employed were truly vicious.
She had been constantly pondering who could have secretly added the medicine to the thermos. However, now wasn’t the time to ask. After resolving the situation here, she had to hurry and accompany Huo Jingrui to finish visiting the necessary places so he could quickly send back the information he had gathered. Then, they could deliberate on a plan of action.
Most importantly, she suspected that Juanzi wasn’t the only pregnant woman poisoned by this drug. The matter was urgent, and they needed the regiment headquarters to assist with an investigation; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yunyi sterilized the silver needle and said to Granny Juanzi, "Help her lie down."
Granny Juanzi, now frantic with worry, wanted to ask what exactly was going on but knew it wasn’t the time for questions.
After helping her daughter-in-law lie down, she heard her younger daughter’s voice from outside, "Mom, look what I brought back!"
Fearing her impetuous daughter might disrupt Yunyi, Granny Juanzi, drawing on experience, grabbed a basin, placed it by the kang, then opened the door and stepped out into the courtyard. "Can’t you keep your voice down?"
The girl in the courtyard immediately lowered her voice. "Is my sister-in-law asleep?"
As she spoke, she tried to peer through the window, but her mother, quick to react, pulled her back. "Don’t look now. What did you bring?"
The younger girl smiled, holding up the tofu in her hand. "Aunt Zhang made it; it’s still warm. She let me bring a piece back."

Of course, Huo Jingrui, who had deliberately been outside the courtyard, also heard the young girl’s words. Suspicion stirred within him, and his expression turned grave.
