I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 194 Xiao Siyue Wakes Up

But now, there's nothing that can be done.

At this moment, Lai Xiang arrived, panting, with the doctor.

Lai Xing bowed to Xiao Qinian: "My lord, the doctor has arrived."

"Yes, quickly invite the doctor inside to examine Yue'er." Then he turned to Li Bing and instructed, "Li Bing, you deal with this thief. I'll go see Yue'er first."

"Yes, sir." Li Bing dragged Lü Tong's body out of the courtyard and then had the courtyard cleaned up again.

Inside the room, everyone held their breath as the doctor took Xiao Siyue's pulse.

The doctor frowned, held Xiao Siyue's wrist for a long time, and then his frown gradually relaxed.

Lin Qin removed Xiao Siyue's hand and immediately put it under the covers.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Lin Qin asked cautiously, afraid that something might have happened to Xiao Siyue.

"Madam, please don't worry. Your daughter is fine. She just took a bit too much sleeping pills and may remain unconscious for a day before waking up." The doctor knew that this was the magistrate's daughter, so he spoke very politely.

"Is everything alright?" Lin Qin was still a little worried.

"It's alright, your daughter is in good health, you just need to wait."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.

"Thank you so much, doctor. Thank you so much, doctor," Lin Qin said gratefully.

"You're too kind, Madam. I'll be taking my leave now." Da Fu picked up his medicine chest and prepared to go out.

"Lai Xing, pay the doctor's consultation fee and send him back," Xiao Qinian instructed Lai Xing.

Lin Qin stayed by Xiao Siyue's side until the afternoon of the second day.

Xiao Siyue slowly opened her eyes.

What's wrong with her? Suddenly she remembered what had happened before. It seemed that someone had broken into her room, and she had just cried out for help when she fainted.

Xiao Siyue saw the familiar scene and realized she was still in bed, so she knew she was still alive and alright.

Lin Qin, who had been by Xiao Siyue's side the whole time, noticed her as soon as she opened her eyes.

He whispered, "Yue'er, you're awake."

Xiao Siyue turned her head and saw Lin Qin looking somewhat haggard.

"Mother," Xiao Siyue called out. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but it must have been quite a while. Her mother must have been watching over her the whole time.

"Is Yue'er feeling unwell?" Lin Qin handed Xiao Siyue a glass of water.

"Yes," Xiao Siyue said with a smile after finishing her water.

"Yue'er, where do you feel unwell? Tell your mother quickly, and I'll go and fetch a doctor to take a look at you." Lin Qin immediately became anxious upon hearing Xiao Siyue's words.

"Mom, I'm hungry." I hadn't realized it when I woke up, but now I can feel my stomach protesting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin paused, tapped Xiao Siyue's forehead, and Xiao scolded, "You child, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mom." Xiao Siyue was trying to lighten the mood. She felt that her mother was too nervous, and she felt like a broken doll.

"Hehe, Mom has prepared food for you, just waiting for you to wake up to eat." Lin Qin said with a smile, her eyebrows relaxed.

"Chuntao, help your young lady wash up first. Lanyi, have someone bring up the food."

"Yes," Chun Tao and Lan Yi replied cheerfully. They had been worried sick yesterday, and they were very happy to see Xiao Siyue wake up and be alright.

After washing up, Xiao Siyue quickly started eating. She was really hungry.

"Eat slowly, don't rush." ​​Lin Qin said, watching Xiao Siyue wolfing down her food, afraid that she might choke.

"Mom, the food smells so good! Would you like some?" Xiao Siyue invited after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Mother doesn't want to eat, you eat. Mother has already eaten." It's already evening, and they had already eaten dinner long ago.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyue continued eating.

After eating her fill, she felt like she had finally come back to life and felt much better.

Now that I'm in the mood, I'm asking about what happened before.

"Mom, how long have I been asleep?"

"You've been unconscious for a whole day."

"No wonder I was so hungry," Xiao Siyue thought to herself. She had actually slept all day; how much of that sleeping drug must she have taken?

"Mother, has the thief been caught?" Xiao Siyue was very concerned. She wondered if the thief had been caught after she fell unconscious, and what the thief's purpose was and why he had broken into her room.

"We caught her." Lin Qin's expression changed instantly; her gentle and loving face turned ugly in a flash.

She stayed in Xiao Siyue's room all night and didn't go out.

She only found out this morning that the thief was actually Lü Tong, so how could she be happy?

She treated Lü Tong like a junior, making clothes for her, doing this and that, and arranging things for her perfectly. But Lü Tong turned around and hurt her own daughter.

I was filled with regret; I should have kicked them out sooner.

"We caught him! How did he get into my room? What did he want?" Xiao Siyue was overjoyed to hear that the person had been caught and asked impatiently.

"That's what she's looking for."

When Xiao Qinian heard that Xiao Siyue had woken up, he rushed over. Just as he arrived at the door, he heard what Xiao Siyue was saying.

Xiao Siyue turned her head and saw that Xiao Qinian was holding a stack of papers.

When Xiao Siyue took it, she saw that it was the papermaking formula she had written before.

"I never imagined the thief was looking for this, but how did the thief know?" Xiao Siyue asked herself. She rarely went to the paper mill, and few people knew that the paper mill was under her name. Even fewer people knew that she, a child who had just turned ten, was the mastermind behind the paper mill.

"Yes, this recipe was found on the thief."

"Father, have you found out who the thief is? Why did he steal the formula?" It's been a whole day, and Xiao Siyue figured they must have found out something.

"That person is Lü Tong, but we still don't know why he stole the formula." Xiao Qinian sighed. He had been investigating all day, but hadn't gotten much information.

"Father, what did you say? The thief is Lü Tong!" Xiao Siyue stood up abruptly. Was it the Lü Tong she knew, the one who lived in their house? How could it be?

"Yes, it's Lü Tong, no, it should be the fake Lü Tong."

Xiao Siyue was puzzled; she couldn't quite understand what her father was saying.

"What do you mean by 'real Lü Tong' or 'fake Lü Tong'? What are you saying, Father?"

"Last night, Li Bing discovered that Lü Tong was wearing a human skin mask, but she didn't know when Lü Tong had been replaced." They had investigated before and confirmed that there was indeed a person named Lü Tong, and the appearance matched.

"Ah, a human skin mask." Does such a thing really exist? She saw Lü Tong, but didn't notice anything unusual about Lü Tong's face.

Is this human skin mask that amazing? It can even have facial expressions.
