My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 627: A Scarf-Triggered Bloodbath! 1

Sheng Liuyun picked up Little Liangliang, his heart aching terribly. Still, he scolded, "You little rascal, always touching a sore spot! It’s not just me, your uncle, who isn’t married. Your other uncles aren’t married either, are they?"

Little Liangliang said, "But they are all married! Uncle Lisao is about to marry Auntie, and even Uncle Lu has won over Auntie Hua~~"

"Uncle Lu? Auntie Hua? Lu Jinyi has won over Hua Jinse? How is that possible? Stop kidding! Even if I got married, your Uncle Lu still wouldn’t be able to win over Hua Jinse."

Sheng Liuyun was utterly convinced of this.

"That’s not necessarily true." Si Mingjing arrived upon hearing the news, a smile on her lips. "You’d better hurry up. Otherwise, Little Liangliang will still be worrying about you being single even when she’s sick. But she’s fine; it’s just a common fever, and her temperature has already subsided."

Si Mingjing wasn’t entirely sure if the fever would return at night, as children sometimes experienced recurring fevers after catching a cold.

Sheng Liuyun was shocked and incredulous. "Lu Jinyi really won over Hua Jinse? Little sister, you’re pulling my leg, right? *He* managed to win over Hua Jinse?"

Si Mingjing gave him a look that plainly asked, Do I look like I’m joking?

"If you don’t believe it, you can go and see for yourself. Eighth Brother came down with appendicitis and had surgery. Jinse has been taking care of him ever since."

Sheng Liuyun intended to go. After spending an hour with Little Liangliang, he left, his face alight with gossip. Seeing Little Liangliang perk up, Sheng Liuyun felt relieved.

In the evening, Sheng Liuyun returned to the Ye Family’s palace to mooch a meal. He sported a constipated expression, clearly struck hard by the news of Lu Jinyi winning over Hua Jinse. Rubbing his face vigorously, he sank onto the living room sofa with a depressed look, pulling Little Liangliang into his arms. "Your Uncle Lu is so disloyal! We agreed to be single buddies, but he went and found someone without a word. It’s outrageous!"

Little Liangliang climbed up, stood on the sofa, and, with several hair ties in hand, began to gleefully style Sheng Liuyun’s hair as she pleased.

Sheng Liuyun kept his long hair precisely so Little Liangliang could have her fun with it. Within minutes, she had tied several pigtails in his hair, completely ruining his image.

Sheng Liuyun didn’t mind at all. She was his niece, and he loved to spoil her; there was nothing wrong with that.

"Uncle, let me introduce you! My teacher is super pretty, and she doesn’t have a boyfriend either~"

Sheng Liuyun grabbed the little troublemaker, sat her on his lap, and pinched her chubby little cheeks. "A five-year-old playing matchmaker! What will you be up to next? Your uncle isn’t interested in your teacher. Now, if you could find someone as impressive as your mother, then I might actually consider it."

"There is one!" Little Liangliang pointed at herself, full of self-admiration. "Mom says if I work hard, I can be as great as her someday."

"You little rascal." Sheng Liuyun vigorously ruffled her small head.

Later, Sheng Liuyun stayed for dinner and even spent the night.

He and Mo Yinhe still couldn’t see eye to eye, so there was little interaction at the dinner table. After dinner, Sheng Liuyun took Little Liangliang to the guest room.

Little Liangliang hadn’t seen her uncle for a long time and was especially clingy to him.

So, Si Mingjing let Little Liangliang sleep with Sheng Liuyun.

In the middle of the night, Little Liangliang developed a fever again.

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe got up and went to the guest room. Si Mingjing continued to use cooling patches on the child, choosing not to give her fever medication for fear that frequent use might lead to drug resistance. The next morning, Little Liangliang’s fever finally subsided. Her condition fluctuated like this for two days before she truly recovered.

Si Mingjing had collected many traditional herbs during her mountain hikes. Today, with the fine weather and bright sunshine, she decided to take the collected herbs out to dry in the yard.

Some were also planted in the yard.

Little Liangliang trotted happily behind her, eyeing a small hoe, eager to help plant the herbs. Full of enthusiasm, she asked about every single medicinal herb.

Si Mingjing told her about each one. To her surprise, Little Liangliang had an extraordinary memory. She remembered every herb after being told about it just once—a trait extremely beneficial for learning traditional Chinese medicine. The mother and daughter busied themselves in the yard all afternoon, thoroughly enjoying their time together.

Si Mingjing also had someone clear out all the tulips in one part of the yard. It seemed like a terrible waste of such beautiful flowers, but as she was the mistress of the house and didn’t mind, no one else dared to complain.

Si Mingjing needed a garden to grow medicinal herbs, where she could plant all the valuable Chinese medicinal herbs she had picked from the mountain, treasuring them greatly.

In Si Mingjing’s eyes, these plants, which seemed unsightly to others, were treasures. Conversely, the tulips that everyone loved, she found of little use.

As the sun was about to set, Fengjue came over and handed her a report.

"Crown Princess Consort, the investigation is complete. The composition of the soil Master Yan received matches that of the soil from the island where the epidemic first broke out. We can now confirm that the soil originated from that island. Furthermore..."

Fengjue took out another document and said, "I have also investigated this. His Excellency instructed me to show it directly to you."

"What is it?"

Si Mingjing took both the soil analysis report and the other document, examining the soil report first.

The composition was indeed identical. So, Mu Genggeng knew all along about the epidemic on that island?

Indeed, this was precisely what Fengjue was about to report.

Fengjue said, "Nine years ago, an infectious virus emerged on the island. A group of experts and scholars went there to conduct research. Among them was Elder Song, who was not yet famous at the time.

Later, that entire group of experts and scholars contracted the virus and perished on the island. Only Elder Song and another doctor surnamed Liang survived. That Dr. Liang was also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

According to Dr. Liang’s family, after returning from the island, he secluded himself, dedicating all his time to researching a cure for the virus.

After several months of research, Dr. Liang informed his family that he believed he had discovered how to overcome the virus and expressed his intention to return to the island. His family tried to dissuade him, but he insisted. Tragically, he never returned from that trip.

Subsequently, Dr. Liang’s family hired a search and rescue team to find him on the island, but they only recovered his remains."

Si Mingjing opened the file folder; the documents inside detailed what Fengjue had just described.

"So..." Si Mingjing narrowed her eyes. "Are you suggesting that the prescription Mu Genggeng possesses might have been originally developed by Dr. Liang?"

Fengjue replied, "It’s just my conjecture, Your Highness."

Si Mingjing pondered for a moment. "Does Dr. Liang’s family know the contents of this prescription?"

"Dr. Liang’s grandson apparently photographed the prescription. However, he mentioned that it was several years ago, and he’s unsure if the photos can still be located. Dr. Liang’s grandson assured me that if he finds them, he will send them over."

A smile touched Si Mingjing’s lips. "This is getting interesting! Keep a close watch on this, and make absolutely sure you obtain those photos!"
