Chapter 75 Hope is destined to be dashed; Wang Qi is merely a scapegoat.

After Yan Hu left, Xia Yuhuan began to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, the sniper's actions were quick and accurate enough that the shattered glass shards did not injure Chi Yanzhou.

Xia Yuhuan swept the floor clean and cleaned up the shards of glass that had been thrown on the bed before sitting on the edge of the bed and tidying up the blankets for Chi Yanzhou.

"Did I scare you just now?" Xia Yuhuan asked him softly.

Knowing she wouldn't get a response, Xia Yuhuan added, "But you're such a capable person, this should be nothing to you, it won't scare you."

Chi Yanzhou: No, I was scared, honey! I was really scared! I was worried that if Wang Qi succeeded, I would die and never even see you again.

“Sigh, when Mom asked Wang Qi to do your routine check-up, she specifically investigated his background, but I didn’t expect that someone would still take advantage of the situation.”

"But that's normal. The world isn't black and white, and people aren't just good or bad. Given the right opportunity, a person can change in an instant."

As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she took Chi Yanzhou's pulse.

Although the pulse was fluctuating, it was still within the normal range, so I was relieved.

Just as Xia Yuhuan and Chi Yanzhou were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Yu Huan, are you inside?" It was Aunt Zhao's voice.

Previously, Aunt Zhao and Wei Ziyi both called Xia Yuhuan "Young Mistress," but Xia Yuhuan felt that this was inappropriate, fearing that people would find fault with them and accuse them of practicing capitalism.

So, at Xia Yuhuan's insistence, the two finally started calling her by her name.

Xia Yuhuan called out, "Aunt Zhao, I'm here, come in."

Aunt Zhao pushed open the door and entered, looking around in surprise. "Shouldn't Dr. Wang Qi be examining Yan Zhou at this hour? Why isn't he here?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan's expression changed immediately, and she said angrily, "Aunt Zhao, you don't know how wicked that Dr. Wang Qi is. He actually tried to kill Yan Zhou!"

"What? Wang Qi wants to harm Yan Zhou? How could this happen? Is Yan Zhou alright?" Aunt Zhao's face immediately turned anxious upon hearing this, and she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Xia Yuhuan shook her head slightly: "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, Yan Zhou is fine."

"Uncle Yan just came to the house to pick up some things. He came up to check on Yan Zhou and saw Wang Qi about to give Yan Zhou an injection, so he quickly restrained him and took him away."

"Yu Huan, weren't you keeping an eye on things at home the whole time? How could you have let Wang Qi find an opportunity?" Aunt Zhao asked, still feeling lingering fear.

"Wang Qi said he was thirsty and asked me to get him some water, so I went. I wasn't in the house. If Uncle Yan hadn't come over just in time and caught Wang Qi trying to give Yan Zhou an injection, I don't know what I would have done." Xia Yuhuan looked like she was about to cry.

Aunt Zhao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then gently patted Xia Yuhuan's hand to comfort her.

"Yu Huan, don't be afraid. You didn't do it on purpose. Nobody expected Wang Qi to be such a bad person. Don't blame yourself. I believe your husband and wife won't blame you if they know about this."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhao added, "But Yu Huan, you already know medicine, so there's no need to find someone else to treat Yan Zhou, right? You can take care of him, can't you?"

Xia Yuhuan asked in surprise, "Why would Aunt Zhao think that? I didn't tell Aunt Zhao that I have medical skills, did I?"

Aunt Zhao's reaction was even more surprised than hers: "You've been brewing your own medicine at home these past few days. You don't know any medicine, how come you do it so skillfully?"

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "What you say makes sense."

But in fact, being able to decoct medicine and being skilled at it doesn't necessarily mean you're a doctor. Does that mean you're used to taking care of sick people and decocting medicine all the time?

Aunt Zhao's words just now were far too certain.

"What about Yanzhou's treatment going forward? How is he doing lately? Is there any chance he'll wake up?" Aunt Zhao asked again.

Xia Yuhuan gently shook her head: "No, it's still the same. Let him continue taking the traditional Chinese medicine for now. Anyway, the situation can't get any worse than it is now. What if some kind of miracle happens?"

"Yu Huan, even your knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine can't save Yan Zhou?" Aunt Zhao frowned, looking worried.

Xia Yuhuan sighed: "He was seriously injured and fell into a coma. It's a problem with his brain."

"The brain is invisible and intangible, and once it has a problem, it becomes the most troublesome. I can't say that I can cure it myself; I can only say that I should let it rest and see."

Aunt Zhao sighed upon hearing this, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, saying softly, "Yu Huan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. When someone in the family is sick, the family always hopes that he or she will get better. It's just that Yan Zhou is too sick, and we can't force you to cure him or her right away. We can only take it slowly."

"You've had a tough time, having to face this situation so soon after getting married," Aunt Zhao sighed.

"It's alright. Fate brought us together. Now that I'm married to him, I guess I'll just have to go with the flow," Xia Yu said cheerfully.

Aunt Zhao laughed when she heard this, "You child, why are you saying that? Yan Zhou is a prodigy, a dragon among men, he has nothing to do with chickens or dogs."

"Hehe, I just blurted it out." Xia Yuhuan said with a grin.

Aunt Zhao sighed and poked her forehead, saying irritably, "It's fine to say that in front of me, but you can't say it like that in front of Madam and Master, otherwise they'll think you look down on Yanzhou, which wouldn't be good."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile.

Aunt Zhao chatted with Xia Yuhuan for a few minutes before going downstairs to prepare lunch.

Xia Yuhuan only stopped smiling after she left.

She looked at Chi Yanzhou and said softly, "I believe that even if you knew that Dr. Wang wanted to kill you, you would at most sigh, but you would definitely not be sad."

"But if Aunt Zhao, who has been by your side for many years and is like family to you, had ulterior motives towards you, wouldn't you be very sad?"

Chi Yanzhou felt a pang of sadness and tightness in his heart, but he still responded softly: Yes.

Xia Yuhuan then said softly, "I think you must be sad."

After all, everyone has a heart. No matter how outstanding Chi Yanzhou is, he is not heartless. He will definitely be sad when betrayed by someone close to him.

"I just hope my guess is wrong, and that it was Wang Qi who poisoned you all along, and that Aunt Zhao is innocent. Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to you and the rest of the Chi family."

After all, Aunt Zhao had been with the Chi family for many years, and although she wasn't related to them, she was very much like family.

The feelings that develop between people over a long period of time cannot be faked.

Xia Yuhuan didn't even dare to imagine how heartbroken her parents would be if it turned out that Aunt Zhao really had malicious intentions.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou sighed inwardly: It's a pity that my little wife's idea is destined to fail.

He didn't know he was poisoned before, so he didn't know why there were those strange things in his body.

But after Xia Yuhuan married him, he knew he was poisoned, so he began to consciously observe everyone who would come into contact with him.

Although he couldn't move, he was conscious and had a good ability to observe in secret, so he quickly distinguished the footsteps of his family members.

He could distinguish the footsteps clearly, and he knew exactly who came to see him, how long they stayed, and what they said each time.

Aunt Zhao visited him most frequently and had the most contact with him because she had to take care of him.

Aunt Zhao also gave me the medicine.

Xia Yuhuan mentioned twice that the toxicity in his body had worsened, both times after Aunt Zhao gave him the medicine.

Therefore, Aunt Zhao was most likely the one who poisoned him, while Wang Qi was just a scapegoat pushed out to take the blame.

He just couldn't understand why Aunt Zhao, who had raised him like her own grandson, could be so cruel to him.
