Most of the items Second Elder brought over this time were basic living supplies. Of course, the most important ones were always the books and sewing materials. After handing over all these supplies to Ling Chunxi, Second Elder asked her to proffer her wrist so he could check her pulse. Ling Chunxi watched his expression closely and caught the flash of surprise that shot across his eyes.
'He's surprised? That the poison in me is gone?' So, Second Elder did know she was poisoned. Why didn't he help her get rid of the poison for all these years then? Why let her suffer all the ridicule thrown at her?
Was Second Elder's kindness genuine or was it all pretense?
"Well, Chunxi, there's nothing much wrong with you. But seems your body is a little heaty. Have you been eating a lot of spicy and oily foods?" deduced Second Elder after checking her pulse.
