"Xu Yun, don't keep me in suspense. How is my father's condition?" Tang Jiu was only worried about her father's condition. "Hurry up and tell me. I'm about to die from anxiousness. Just tell me how he needs to be treated."
Xu Yun took a deep breath and finally said, "Grandfather Tang's illness isn't caused by his body. Someone has been secretly feeding him drugs that are not good for his heart. Some drugs are good for the heart if taken in small amounts for a short period of time. However, if taken over a long period of time or in excess, it will cause heart problems."
Tang Zhengtian had already realized that there was such a problem. That was why he asked Tang Jiu to come over and listen.
Tang Jiu frowned when he heard that. "Xu Yun, what do you mean? Are you saying that someone has been secretly feeding my father poison for a long period of time? Am I stupid? Do you think I'll just stand by and watch a disloyal person poison my father? "
"Can you bring Grandfather Tang's medical kit over?" Xu Yun: "I'll prove it to you."
Tang Jiu immediately followed Xu Yun's instructions and brought out all the medical kits in the house for Xu Yun. Xu Yun didn't hesitate and opened all of them. Medicine was a very subtle thing. Xu Yun, who was proficient in pharmacology, understood this point very well. Medicine, when used correctly, could save people. However, if used well, it could also harm people.
Soon, Xu Yun took out a bottle of quinidine tablets. "This is an important drug used to treat arrhythmias. However, when the blood concentration exceeds 6 micrograms per liter, it will cause ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia and even ventricular fibrillation. It can also cause coronary artery embolism, stroke, sudden loss of consciousness, twitching of limbs, and even respiratory arrest."
Tang Jiu's eyes widened. She didn't expect Xu Yun's knowledge of medicine to be so deep.
Tang Zhengtian looked at Xu Yun with interest. This young man's performance was getting better and better. No wonder Little Jiu was so infatuated with him. Although Tang Zhengtian vaguely felt that their relationship wasn't that of lovers, he was sure that his daughter was moved.
"Digitalis and digoxin are used to treat heart failure. However, if used in excess, it can cause arrhythmias, atrioventricular block, or congestive heart failure. If not treated in time, it can result in death due to ventricular fibrillation. " Xu Yun flipped through the pages and said, "Excessive use of aminophylline can lead to sinus tachycardia, and respiratory distress can lead to ventricular fibrillation. Excessive use of lidocaine can cause a drop in blood pressure and even cardiac arrest … "
Tang Jiu did not understand what Xu Yun was saying, and she did not want to listen anymore. "Even if what you said is not good, my father definitely did not eat it randomly."
Tang Zhengtian nodded. "Xu Yun, Jiu 'er is right. I've never taken any of these medicines. Even if I needed them, I took them under the doctor's orders. There's no mistake."
"Elder Tang … Forget it, I'll just call you Uncle Tang. Calling you Elder Tang makes you sound old." With a faint smile, Xu Yun continued, "Uncle Tang, what I want to say is that if a person without any mental illness takes these drugs for a long time, it will also cause the heart muscle function to become chaotic. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Why would my father take medicine when he's not sick?" Tang Jiu frowned. "Xu Yun, what are you trying to say?"
Tang Zhengtian's expression had already begun to change. He tried his best not to think too much, but his body could not help but tremble.
"What I want to say is that someone has been adding these drugs to Uncle Tang's meals for a long time, which led to Uncle Tang's current state." Xu Yun was very serious. He did not sound like he was joking at all.
Even Guoguo could tell what Xu Yun meant. She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Tang Zhengtian and Tang Jiu in shock.
Tang Jiu was furious. She pushed Xu Yun and scolded, "Xu Yun! What do you mean? My father's meals at home are all prepared by Auntie Shea herself. No one else will touch them! Auntie Shea only suspected you for my father and me. You don't have to blame Auntie Shea for such a small thing, do you? "
"Jiu 'er! Be more polite to the guests! "Tang Zhengtian said.
Xu Yun did not mind being pushed by Tang Jiu. He smiled and said, "Uncle Tang has a lot of dinners outside. It's not impossible for someone to do something outside. I'm not talking about Auntie Shea."
"But it's Auntie Shea who takes care of our meals most of the time!" Tang Jiu was still very angry. "Xu Yun, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!"
Guoguo could not help but speak up for Xu Yun. "Sister Xiao Jiu, my father has good intentions. Don't blame him. He always says what he wants to say. He would never say anything bad about that auntie just because she suspected him! My father is not that kind of person. You should know that. "
Xu Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Guoguo. This little girl was even more "protective" than him.
"Xu Yun, I'm sorry." After Tang Jiu calmed down, he realized that Xu Yun was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense. "I was a little too agitated just now. Just pretend that I didn't say those words. I really didn't do it on purpose."
"It's nothing." Xu Yun waved his hand and smiled. "I know you believe Auntie Shea. I'm just making an inference. When Auntie Shea finishes cooking, I just need to taste it to know. "
Tang Jiu frowned deeply. "Dad, we suspect Auntie Shea. I feel that …"
"It's not suspicion. It's to help your Auntie Shea." Tang Zhengtian smiled. "I don't believe that Auntie Shea would do that either. However, since Xu Yun said so, we have to believe him."
Xu Yun smiled. "I don't want this to have anything to do with Auntie Shea either."
At that moment, Auntie Shea informed them that it was time to eat. Tang Zhengtian stood up with a smile. "Let's go. No matter what, let's invite Xu Yun to try Auntie Shea's cooking. Her medicinal cuisine is very good."
"How is it, Xu Yun? My dad said that Auntie Shea's cooking is really good. It's not worse than yours." Tang Jiu threw away the haze from before and unconsciously put his arm around Xu Yun's arm.
Tang Zhengtian looked surprised. "Xu Yun can cook?"
"The chef of the medicinal cuisine restaurant is not just for show," Tang Jiu introduced proudly.
Guoguo exclaimed and ran out. "I'll go call Sister Chou Yeon! You guys can go down first. "
After they sat down, Auntie Shea served the medicinal cuisine that she was good at. Xu Yun picked up his chopsticks without hesitation. "Uncle Tang, I won't stand on ceremony. I haven't eaten anything on the way here. I'm a little hungry."
Tang Zhengtian smiled. He knew what Xu Yun meant. "Come, you're the guest. Please enjoy."
"Okay. Haha, I'll try it first." Xu Yun picked up his chopsticks and stuffed the food into his mouth.
Because Guoguo was very suspicious that the old woman would poison the food, she went to find Chou Yan in advance and told her what had happened just now. Guoguo, whose stomach was growling, could only force a smile and say that she was not hungry.
After eating, Xu Yun couldn't help but praise, "Auntie Shea's cooking is good!"
Auntie Shea stood to the side expressionlessly. Even though Xu Yun said that, she didn't smile. She said coldly, "Little girl, are you afraid that I'll poison the food? Your stomach is growling, but you still refuse to eat. You guys are too careful. "
"No, no, no. I didn't say that. I just don't want to eat." Guoguo really didn't want to offend Auntie Shea. She muttered in her heart that she was taking advantage of her seniority and didn't say anything else.
Xu Yun didn't find anything wrong with the dishes. He indicated that there was no problem. The stone in Tang Jiu's heart was instantly lifted.
Auntie Shea's expression was cold. She seemed to know what Xu Yun was doing. When the meal was almost finished, Auntie Shea brought out a small bowl of cordyceps and figs from the kitchen. "Drink it while it's hot."
"Auntie Shea, what about us?" Xu Yun immediately asked.
"This is prepared separately. I'm sorry, it's not for you." Auntie Shea didn't hesitate.
Tang Zhengtian looked at the cordyceps and figs in front of him and thought of Xu Yun's words. Could it be that the soup he drank after every meal was the culprit?
Xu Yun giggled as he placed the pot in front of Tang Zhengtian. "I'm sorry, Uncle Tang. I'm greedy and useless. Since I'm a guest, why don't you let me drink it?"
Tang Zhengtian smiled. He knew what Xu Yun meant.
"No! It's not for you! "Auntie Shea scolded angrily. Her expression changed.
The stone in Tang Jiu's heart was lifted again. Auntie Shea had such a big reaction. Was she really guilty? The cordyceps and figs were her father's soup after every meal. It was also the most likely place the drugs that damaged the heart.
Xu Yun didn't pay attention to Auntie Shea's words. He picked up the bowl of soup and drank it.
Guoguo's heart jumped when she saw that. Aunty Shea's reaction was so big that Guoguo felt as if it was a bowl of poison. Whoever drank it would die.
Xu Yun drank it all in one breath. He put the bowl on the table and touched his mouth. He praised Auntie Shea. "Auntie Shea, your soup is so good. You're very familiar with the resistance between ingredients and drugs. You can use the original taste of the ingredients to cover the smell of the drugs. This technique is not something ordinary people can do."
Auntie Shea looked at Xu Yun coldly. She didn't look happy at all. "Thank you."
Tang Jiu was startled by Xu Yun's ambiguous words. She was really afraid that Xu Yun would say that Aunty Xue had really put the medicine that damaged her father's heart muscle in the pot of cordyceps and figs.
Tang Zhengtian sat quietly in his seat and waited for Xu Yun's answer. He was prepared. If Auntie Shea had something to do with this, then God wanted him dead.
