I insist

Chapter 143: Gathering Information

She waved and went back to her room.

As soon as Song Miqiu entered the room, she smelled a scent in the air. She frowned, sniffed, and her gaze fell on the disguise tools not far away.

This is……

As a doctor, she naturally recognized what these things were.

She picked up one of the disguise tools, frowned, looked up at the things on the table, and bit her lip. Song Miqiu didn't understand why Yu Huailin had to be so secretive about making a disguise tool.

At a banquet, he could simply tell her what he needed, and she could naturally help Yu Huailin get everything. Why was he being so secretive? Clearly, he didn't want her to know.

Song Miqiu pursed her lips and first walked to the brass mirror to check if her makeup was in order.

She twirled the rouge on the dressing table, pursed her lips, and glanced back at the disguise tools on the wooden table that emitted a strange smell. Her desire to find out the truth grew stronger.

As soon as Song Miqiu stepped out, Tian Yumei called out to him.

"Mother, aren't you going to eat something?" Tian Yumei held a spatula in one hand and wiped the oil stains off her apron with the other. She frowned as she looked at Song Miqiu, who seemed to be preparing to leave.

Although Song Miqiu has now entered the palace and gained the favor of the imperial concubine, and has also achieved success in his career at the Imperial Medical Academy, making his family much wealthier.

But in Tian Yumei's eyes, home-cooked meals are still the best. Recently, she has even learned to cook more of the dishes that Song Miqiu likes, and plans to buy the ingredients and cook them for Song Miqiu whenever she wants.

In addition, Song Miqiu is a bit older, and in her eyes, she should eat healthier food instead of buying food outside.

Seeing that Song Miqiu was speechless, Tian Yumei was even more convinced that the other party had gone out to eat snacks. She frowned and gently advised, "Mother, food outside is not healthy! You should eat at home. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you later!"

Qiu Xiaoshuang ran over at that moment. She opened her arms and jumped to Song Miqiu's side, hugging her tightly. She nestled her face in Song Miqiu's arms, raised her head, and opened her beautiful eyes.

"Grandma, aren't you going to eat with Xiaoshuang?" Qiu Xiaoshuang's tone was slightly aggrieved, and coupled with her soft and cute appearance, it melted Song Miqiu's heart!

"Oh, Grandma's little darling!" Song Miqiu smiled and picked up Qiu Xiaoshuang. She touched Qiu Xiaoshuang's delicate face with her cheek and comforted her, "Grandma just went out to run some errands. Our little darling is so cute, how could Grandma not eat with Xiaoshuang?"

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, Qiu Xiaoshuang smiled and gave a soft "hmm" in response. She pouted and placed a milky-scented kiss on Song Miqiu's cheek.

Song Miqiu put the person down and looked helplessly at Tian Yumei, "You heard it just now, I was just going out to run some errands."

Tian Yumei said no more.

Song Miqiu arrived at a place, glanced at the teahouse, and then went inside, leaving a message there.

Immediately afterwards, she turned and left the teahouse, took a long detour, and went straight to the pharmacy.

Looking at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs in front of her, Song Miqiu hesitated. She didn't have much silver on her, but she really wanted most of the herbs that the pharmacy had.

However, she still needs to buy some medications related to heart disease.

Tomorrow, Song Miqiu will bring the medicine to the Yan family to visit them, which will also serve as a way to make her presence known. If something happens to her in the future, the Yan family will not stand idly by, which is what she wants most.

"Sir, what would you like?"

The clinic's waiter smiled at Song Miqiu and, seeing that her gaze remained fixed on a few medicinal herbs, immediately understood that she wanted to know the effects of those herbs.

"You're looking for treatment for a serious heart condition, right?"

Song Miqiu paused, not expecting the other party to directly state what she wanted to be treated.

She smiled and nodded, then asked with amusement, "Was I that obvious?"

"No, not exactly," the waiter said shyly, scratching the back of his head. He pointed to the medicinal herbs that Song Miqiu had just picked out. "These herbs arrived yesterday and were just put up today. They are expensive, but they are very effective in treating heart diseases."

Upon hearing the high price, Song Miqiu knew that the growing environment and harvesting process of these medicinal herbs must have been quite difficult.

"Are you new here? I often buy medicinal herbs here, but you look unfamiliar." Song Miqiu smiled and ordered a few herbs she needed, asking the waiter to pack them up.

While helping Song Miqiu pack her food, the waiter replied, "She just came in a few days ago."

"Have you done this before? You were able to identify the effects of all the medicinal herbs so soon after you came in?" Song Miqiu could tell that the waiter was extremely familiar with these things from the beginning and his introductions to the customers were very reliable.

"No, not really. I used to gather herbs to support myself, so I had to be familiar with which herbs were expensive and what they were used for." The waiter raised his eyes and smiled at Song Miqiu, revealing his white teeth.

Song Miqiu nodded. After a moment's thought, she also inquired about the news from the waiter.

Finding nothing, she had no choice but to accept the packaged herbs and continue inquiring elsewhere.

But she couldn't get the information Song Miqiu wanted anywhere, and somewhat frustrated, she carried the medicinal herbs and headed home.

As soon as she entered the door, a figure rushed into her arms.

The scent in the air immediately told Song Miqiu who it was. She smiled and looked down at Qiu Xiaoshuang, patting the girl's head as she asked, "Have you been waiting here for Grandma?"

"Ok!"

"Who is it?" Tian Yumei came out of the house. When she looked up and saw that it was Song Miqiu, she smiled gently and said, "Mother, you're back."

"Xiao Shuang has been talking about you so much. We haven't even started eating yet. Please come in and have a bite."

Song Miqiu smiled and agreed. She took Qiu Xiaoshuang's hand with one hand and carried the medicinal herbs with the other as she walked inside.

The next day.

Just as Song Miqiu finished her meal, Tian Yumei rushed over to find her.

"Mother, someone from the Yan family says they are looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu was stunned for a moment. She quickly wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief before getting up and hurrying out to see what was happening.

As soon as she stepped outside, she met the eyes of Yan Yufan and Yan's mother.

"Why are you here?" As she spoke, Song Miqiu's gaze fell on Yan Yufan's hands. Seeing that he was carrying something, it looked like a nice gift.

Seeing this, Song Miqiu's smile grew even brighter. She leaned against the door frame and hurriedly asked Tian Yumei to go in and prepare some things.

When the Yan family came to visit, Tian Yumei dared not refuse. She quickly put on the apron she had just taken off and went into the kitchen to make some simple pastries.

Qiu Xiaoshuang and Qiu Xiaobai were also sensible and didn't shout as usual. The two of them stood obediently in the corner, looking at Yan's mother and Yan Yufan with their big eyes.
