Chapter 273: Trying
Grandma Qin responded with a poised demeanor, neither subservient nor arrogant. "It was my granddaughter who devised a set of massage techniques, blending them with a special potion she created herself. It took several years, but I finally regained my sight."
She was compelled to fabricate this story, knowing that the longer she spoke, the less likely people would suspect Qin Zhenzhen’s secret abilities.
Empress Dowager emitted a disdainful snort, "You’ve been quite fortunate!"
Having endured blindness for many years, she marveled at her newfound sight.

What baffled her even more was the presence of such a talented granddaughter with extraordinary medical skills.
Grandma Qin nodded, "Empress Dowager, you are absolutely right. I no longer desire anything from those days of darkness. All I wish for now is to enjoy my meals, sleep peacefully, and not trouble my family."
"Now, my only wish remains the same as before: I hope the heavens will show me mercy and bless me with a gifted granddaughter, so I may once again bask in the light."
