The incident happened suddenly.
Jian Sheng was somewhat stunned.
Everyone else stared in disbelief.
People were scared stiff.
They were wary of Jian Sheng, worried the child might act impulsively and secretly give the green pill to the old man.
But no one had expected that the old man, who had been blankly staring at the lake, would suddenly move so quickly.
Once he got it, he swallowed it directly, leaving them no chance to stop him.
The old butler nervously picked up his phone to call the private doctor.
Jian Junyu rushed forward anxiously, supporting the old man and patting his back vigorously.
"Dad, you can't just eat this! Please spit it out!"
He was already prepared to manually induce vomiting if the old man showed any signs of discomfort.
Old Master Jian tightly covered his mouth, his face still expressionless.
His eyes flickered slightly, but no one could see the emotions hidden within.
Amidst the chaos, several people cautiously watched the old man's condition.
They were worried something might happen to him.
Being choked by the green pill was already the best outcome they could imagine.
Shortly after, the private doctor arrived in a hurry, carrying a medical kit.
Several Jian family members followed behind him.
Jian Junruo quickly said, "Doctor, please come and check on my father."
"Sheng Sheng, what did you mix into that pill? Give it to the doctor to examine."
At this moment, the old man also obediently lowered his hands, stiffly allowing the doctor to take his pulse and diagnose him.
The doctor's expression changed constantly, from initial urgency to gradual relaxation, and then back to seriousness.
Finally, it settled into a strange expression, a mixture of hesitation, confusion, gravity, and various other emotions.
The crowd felt a pang of anxiety watching him.
After putting down the old man's wrist, the doctor said sternly, "Miss Jian, you just said that Elder Jian's current condition is due to him consuming something?"
Jian Junruo's heart sank.
The old man was still sitting properly in his chair. In fact, he seemed to have more spirit and vigor than before.
His eyes were also brighter.
He didn't seem to be in any trouble.
Could there be a problem in the unseen parts of his body?
Jian Junruo quickly pulled Jian Sheng over and asked, "Sheng Sheng, please bring the remaining materials you used to make that pill to the doctor to see."
If any poisonous plants were accidentally mixed in, the consequences would be dire.
The Jian family members gathered around the old man now understood the problem based on their conversation.
When the doctor arrived in a hurry, he happened to bump into them who were taking a walk in the garden.
Upon hearing that the old man was in trouble, they all rushed over.
Inside were the same people Jian Sheng had met earlier.
Except for the elderly matriarch, most of the others had come.
Chen Yuling was anxious. Hearing the doctor's words, she immediately reprimanded,
"Children are ignorant, but Jian Junruo, aren't you also ignorant? How dare you let your child feed your father anything?"
Her eyes were a little red; she was genuinely worried about the old man.
Jian Junruo quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I failed to stop her."
Jian Junyu pulled her aside and gently shook his head, "It's my responsibility too."
"With the three of us adults here, we couldn't stop a child and an elder. That's our fault."
The old butler sighed. The slight blame he felt towards the young girl gradually turned into self-recrimination.
The eldest young lady and the young master were right. The little lady hadn't done anything wrong.
Perhaps she was just treating it as a game of pretend.
They knew that thing was inedible, but they couldn't stop it.
The old butler said with shame, "We are all responsible, but now is not the time to discuss this."
"Let me take the doctor to see the materials first."
He led the doctor to the stone where Jian Sheng had been arranging the spirit herbs.
However, not only were there no remaining herbs, but not even a single shredded leaf of an herb could be seen.
Only a few small piles of residue, varying in color, were stacked together.
"The green medicinal pills you mentioned were made from these?"
The doctor crouched down, picked up a pinch, and sniffed it.
Jian Junruo said awkwardly, "I think I saw Sheng Sheng use a few plants, but I don't know what they were."
She pulled Jian Sheng to her side and asked anxiously,
"Sheng Sheng, did you use up all the materials? Is there anything left?"
Jian Sheng's big eyes swept over her uncle's wife and others who were staring at her intently. After a slight hesitation, she whispered,
"All the medicinal ingredients used are here. The rest are just useless dregs."
The doctor acutely noticed the phrasing in the little girl's words, "Medicinal ingredients? Where did you get them?"
Jian Sheng turned her head, hugged her mother's leg, and ignored him.
She had only sensed that her maternal grandfather's body was very strange, so she refined a pill to test it.
Originally, she only intended to trust the few people present.
She also wanted to reveal a bit of her special abilities to her mother.
Who knew it would cause such a commotion and bring so many outsiders.
Chen Yuling said angrily, "At this point, Junruo, are you still going to indulge your daughter's childish temper?"
The doctor waved his hand, "It's normal for a little girl to have secrets."
"Madam, please don't worry. Elder Jian is in very good health and shows no signs of any problems. I'm just a little curious and want to understand."
Chen Yuling breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held a trace of anger as she looked at Jian Junruo and Jian Sheng.
Seeing that the little girl was unwilling to speak, the doctor did not press further.
He simply dipped some powder and put it into his mouth.
Everyone watched him nervously, fearing he would announce that the medicine was poisonous.
The doctor frowned continuously until he tasted a bit of the brownish-black residue. His expression suddenly changed.
"Is this ginseng? Or thousand-year-old ginseng?"
The doctor exclaimed, his expression filled with disbelief.
Hearing his exclamation, everyone else also showed expressions of disbelief.
Chen Yuling looked skeptical, "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? Where would there be ginseng here?"
"Not to mention thousand-year-old ginseng. Such precious medicinal ingredients are rare and hard to come by. How could they appear here?"
The doctor also wondered if he had misjudged and even began to question his professional competence.
He carefully placed the medicinal residue into a vacuum bag, preparing to analyze it back at his office.
After packing everything up, the doctor gravely cupped his hands towards Jian Sheng.
"Little Miss, I know this is personal privacy, but I still want to ask, what did you give Elder Jian to consume?"
Jian Junruo immediately became nervous, "Is there a problem with that medicine?"
The doctor said gravely, "There is a problem, a big problem!"
Seeing their anxious expressions, the doctor realized his wording was problematic and quickly explained,
"There is a problem, but it's a good one, not a bad one."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and simultaneously looked at Jian Sheng.
