Zhou Shuo didn't say anything.
Duan Si was enraged and rushed over to tear Zhou Shuo apart: "Speak up! Speak up! Did you kill my son?"
Liu Ming said anxiously: "Madam, it's not like that."
He held Mu Ci with one hand and held the cup with the other, so he had no way to help Zhou Shuo.
A middle-aged man who looked very similar to Mu Ci stood by with a stern face, watching with his hands folded. This man was Mu Ci's father, Mu Guo.
Mu Chen roared angrily, "Stop!"
Butler Lao Jiang hurried forward to support Mu Chen, but he was unable to pull the lady away.
Zhou Shuo, however, was not one to suffer a loss. She raised her hand and grabbed Duan Si's wrist when he slapped her in the face. She looked at the distorted woman in front of her with cold eyes and said, "I'm saving him. No one can save him except me!"
She pushed Duan Si's hand aside fiercely.
Mu Chen said in a deep voice: "Girl, come and tell Grandpa, what's going on with Mu Ci?"
Zhou Shuo placed his fingers on Mu Ci's wrist and felt relieved when he saw that his pulse had calmed down.
She handed the porcelain bottle to Mu Chen and said with a stern face, "I gave him life-saving medicine. If you are worried about problems, you can take the rest for testing. But no one is allowed to touch him. I will save him. If I can't save him, I will pay him with my own life!"
"Who do you think you are! How can your worthless life compare to my son's!" Duan Si said angrily.
"Shut up!" Mu Chen stopped his daughter-in-law.
He took Zhou Shuo's medicine and handed it to Lao Jiang beside him.
Old Jiang took the medicine, uncorked it and sniffed it. His face changed involuntarily. He quickly poured a pill into his palm and sniffed it carefully again. He was shocked and said, "Old man, this, this, seems to be Xuejin Pills!"
"What did you say!" Mu Chen, Mu Guo and Duan Si asked in unison.
Duan Si shrieked, "Impossible! We spent 30 million to buy the Xuejin Pill that saved Mu En. How could she possibly have such a valuable medicine? And several more?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo was already sure that Mu Ci was fine, so she gently put down his hand and signaled Liu Ming that he could put Mu Ci down. She carefully covered Mu Ci with a blanket and then turned around to look at everyone.
She reached out to take back the porcelain bottle from Lao Jiang's hand, but did not take the pill in Lao Jiang's hand. She said lightly: "You are right, this is Xuejin Pill. You can take that one for testing. I didn't expect that it was you who bought Xuejin Pill for 30 million back then. But I don't understand, you have Xuejin Pill, why is brother Mu Ci's health so bad?"
She asked this question directly to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's expression darkened. "Back then, Mu Ci's younger brother, Mu En, was also ill. I heard that Xue Jin Pills could cure a hundred diseases, detoxify a thousand poisons, remove dead tissue and regenerate new flesh, and prolong life. So, that Xue Jin Pill was given to Mu En."
Mu Chen's voice was filled with grief. This incident was a lifelong pain for him. He couldn't even look directly into the eyes of the girl in front of him.
Zhou Shuo thought Mu En was even sicker, so he nodded without giving it much thought. He softened his tone and said, "Xuejin Pills are indeed life-saving medicine. They should not be used unless absolutely necessary. In my brother's condition today, we had to use them. Don't worry, my brother will be fine. There are toxins accumulated in his body. I was thinking of slowly conditioning him, but I didn't expect that someone would bring him milk just after I left. The medicine in the milk stimulated the toxins in his body, causing his toxicity to flare up. If I hadn't happened to bring Xuejin Pills with me, even a Daluo Immortal wouldn't be able to do anything today."
Mu Chen's legs went weak and he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Lao Jiang held him up and asked, "What did you say?"
Mu Chen rushed forward to see his eldest grandson. Thinking of Mu Ci's brush with death, he couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted angrily: "A Jiang, Liu Ming, find out for me! You must find out who is trying to kill Mu Ci! Pull out the person for me, I will not let them off easily!"
He reached out his trembling hand to touch Mu Ci's forehead. His palm was sticky. Mu Ci's forehead was cold and sweaty, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Seeing this, A Jiang hurriedly asked, "Madam, when will the young master wake up? Please tell us what we need to do."
Zhou Shuo shook his head gently. "Brother can't move now. He'll have to go through several fevers later. It's a natural reaction of the body. He seems calm now, but this is the most critical moment of the battle between the medicine and the poison in his body. It will take about three days for him to get through this. I will prepare some more medicine for him depending on the situation."
Mu Chen nodded slightly.
Duan Si was worried, "Dad! I think we should take her to the hospital, or ask a doctor to come to our house. Her background is unclear. What if Mu Ci is delayed? Such expensive medicine. We couldn't buy a single pill back then, but she has so much. How can it be true?"
"Dad! Mu Ci is your grandson, you can't let a country girl like her do experiments like this! Besides, we still haven't figured out whether the milk was poisonous or she poisoned Mu Ci! I heard that she insisted on giving Mu Ci the food she cooked today. Who knows if she tampered with Mu Ci's food?"
Zhou Shuo's eyes swept over Zhang Ma and Zhang Sao. The two stepped back, trying hard to hide themselves among the crowd.
Mu Chen glared at Duan Si and said coldly, "All of you go out. I want to talk to this kid alone."
"Dad——" Duan Si was unwilling.
"Okay! What are you doing? Dad is here, just listen to him." Mu Guo glared at his wife impatiently.
Duan Si dared to speak in front of her father-in-law, but she did not dare to be rude in front of her husband.
"Dad, I'll take them out first!" Mu Guo was very respectful to his father, as if he were a superior or a subordinate.
Mu Chen did not look back at his son.
Mu Guo turned his wife over and took the unwilling Duan Si out.
The servants followed suit and filed out.
Liu Ming didn't move, and Lao Jiang didn't move either.
Mu Chen knew Liu Ming's feelings for Mu Ci and did not drive him away.
When the door was closed, Mu Chen looked at Zhou Shuo and asked softly, "Son, are you studying medicine?"
Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "I originally came to the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of M City Medical University to study for my master's degree."
Mu Chen understood. He looked at Zhou Shuo with a sharp gaze. "This Xuejin Pill was created by the great Chinese medicine master Bai Lian. She once used this medicine to save an important person, which made her famous. Later, as a way to repay a favor, she gave one away. It was auctioned off at a high price, and that's the one the Mu family bought. Since then, this pill has never appeared again. Now, can you tell me who you learned your medical skills from?"
Zhou Shuo clenched the medicine bottle in her palm, lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She had not expected that Xuejin Pills would have such a reputation. This was just the homework her master gave her.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I can't tell anyone who my master is before I graduate with my Ph.D." She met Mu Chen's gaze very calmly.
Mu Chen looked at the delicate, beautiful girl with clear eyes in front of him, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
His eldest grandson might really be saved.
