Chu Huanzhao wiped away her tears and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... no matter what I said, Mother wouldn't let my brother-in-law come to save you, so I... I drugged her."

"Dizzy?" Chu Chuyan sat up straight instantly and coughed violently again.

Chu Huanzhao also felt wronged: "What can I do? She just won't listen to any advice."

Chu Chuyan: "..."

She looked at her sister with a complicated expression: "Why did you believe so much that he could save me, even at the cost of our own mother...?"

Chu Huanzhao bit his lip: "I think you people have misunderstood him. I believe that since he said he has a way to save you, he must have a way. You should believe him too."

Zu An was deeply moved. His sister-in-law was indeed a thoughtful and caring person. With her here, the Chu family didn't seem so cold.

Seeing her sister's excited expression, Chu Chuyan sighed: "He should have a way... But you should get Mother to lie down properly on that couch over there. It's not proper for her to be lying here like this."

Chu Huanzhao nudged Zu An: "Brother-in-law, it's up to you now."

She was petite, so it wasn't very convenient for her to hug Qin Wanru.

Zu'an was about to say it wasn't appropriate, but seeing that Chu Chuyan didn't seem to have any objections, and that the two sisters were whispering to each other, he wondered what they were talking about.

He reluctantly went over and picked up Qin Wanru, who had fainted by the bedside. He put one arm around her body and the other under her legs, and carried her horizontally.

Because he was unconscious, it was a little more difficult to hold him than when he was awake. However, this is a world of cultivation, and Zuan's strength is now far beyond that of ordinary people, so this difficulty can be ignored.

I didn't know it before, but after getting up close this time, I found that Qin Wanru's body was so full and mature, incredibly soft to the touch, and she smelled of a rich rose perfume.

Zuan vaguely remembered seeing some research online in his previous life, which seemed to say that women who like rose perfume have a stronger need for the stronger the fragrance.

She couldn't help but secretly think to herself, "No wonder Chu Zhongtian often looks like he has dark circles under his eyes and looks weak. It's hard not to feel weak with a wife like that."

However, the other person's identity prevented him from having any other thoughts. He carried her to the soft couch on the side, and halfway there he even thought of throwing her directly onto the cold floor to vent his anger at the bullying he had suffered in the past.

However, after glancing back at Chu Chuyan and her sister, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

He casually tossed her onto the soft couch beside him and didn't look at her again before returning to the inner room.

"Brother-in-law, what exactly are you planning to do about the treatment?" Chu Huanzhao asked hurriedly.

Just as Zu'an was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and said with an embarrassed smile, "This... I need to discuss it with your sister privately."

Chu Huanzhao was stunned for a moment, then finally realized what was going on: "Oh, you're really ungrateful! I helped you and you turned around and sent me away!"

Zuan looked embarrassed: "It's not that I wanted to get rid of her, it's just that there are some things your sister might not want others to know."

Chu Chuyan's heart skipped a beat, as if she realized something. A hint of shyness appeared between her brows, and she said, "Xiao Zhao, why don't you go out and keep watch for your sister? You can warn us if anyone comes."

Seeing that she was still somewhat reluctant, he added, "What if Father happens to come back and sees that you have drugged Mother?"

Having been the older sister for so many years, she has long since figured out her younger sister's thoughts very well.

“He went to the next prefecture, how could he be back so soon?” Chu Huanzhao muttered, but he was indeed worried that his father would return early, so he went outside to keep watch.

After seeing her sister leave, Chu Chuyan turned to Zu An and said, "Tell me, how do you plan to save me?"

Zuan looked into her beautiful eyes: "You already know, don't you?"

Chu Chuyan's pretty face flushed instantly, and her eyes darted away: "No, absolutely not!"

“Why not? It’s not like it’s the first time…” Zuan said with a hint of resentment.

Chu Chuyan turned her face away, and from behind, it was clear that the base of her neck was red: "In short, it won't work. This time is different from last time. Last time, I couldn't resist, I couldn't move my whole body. Now, if you dare to be disrespectful to me, I... I will kill you!"

Although the cold had invaded her internal organs and she was seriously ill, her cultivation was still intact. After all, she was a master close to the seventh rank, and even a sudden burst of power would be enough to kill him.

Of course, if she rashly uses her Yuan Power, her injuries will worsen, and she will reach the end of her life even faster.

"You hate me that much?" Zuan frowned as well.

"It's not because I hate it, but... but... I'm not ready..." Chu Chuyan panicked, not knowing how to explain, "Anyway, it just won't work."

Zuan knew that if he dared to do what happened in the underground palace this time, she would most likely turn against him.

However, he hadn't initially planned to use this method to save them: "Fine, I have another way. If you still don't want to, there's nothing I can do."

"What method?" Chu Chuyan hurriedly asked, thinking that as long as it wasn't something as shameful as the underground palace, it would be fine.

Zuan pulled out a gleaming silver needle: "Acupuncture. I will use a special technique to prick the acupoints on your body and release the cold energy in your body little by little."

Chu Chuyan looked suspicious: "If it were really that simple, Doctor Bao couldn't possibly not know how to do it."

“That’s right, only I can do it. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be saving you, they would be harming you,” Zuan replied.

"Why?" Chu Chuyan frowned slightly, clearly puzzled.
