"Exactly, ehm. That green pill can induce hallucinations, after taking it, all things before one's eyes look distorted. Qiao Changkang, being a countryman with little knowledge, was panic-stricken after taking it, so I just had to bluff him a little, and he believed me."
"Then even Qiao Chang'an believed it and thought it was effective."
Qiao Xiaomai "..."
No wonder she thought Ma Dongshu looked like a charlatan that day.
It turns out he was indeed bluffing.
"Anyway, thank you. Dami, go to the kitchen and serve the dishes," Qiao Xiaomai said with a smile.
Qiao Dami crisply responded with an "okay," and trotted off into the kitchen.
There was no rule in the Qiao family that women and children couldn't sit at the table, so after Qiao Xiaomai returned the cloth to the room, she sat down with Qiao Dami.
