At this moment, Song Ruoan was still greeting distinguished guests at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.
She heard the maid hurriedly report that there was trouble in the back garden and that Song Xizhi was urgently asking her to come over.
Hearing this, Song Ruoan had no doubts and knew that the bowl of white porridge had worked, as she had expected it.
She deliberately sent Song Xizhi a bowl of plain porridge, and then added some medicine that would cause severe abdominal pain to the porridge, intentionally trying to embarrass her in front of everyone.
Finally, they questioned the shopkeeper outside the Marquis's residence, claiming that they had provided substandard ingredients, which caused Song Xizhi's sudden abdominal pain.
This move would both force Old Madam He to get rid of the manager and allow her to manage the household properly, and also make Song Xizhi lose face in public, ruining his reputation.
This two-birds-with-one-stone strategy was a great gift she gave to Song Xizhi.
Thinking of this, Song Ruoan frowned slightly with worry, then muttered to herself, "Isn't my sister skilled in healing? Why is she now asking me to come over, claiming that doctors don't treat illnesses?"
He Yunze, standing beside Song Ruoan, heard this and simply sneered: "What do you mean by 'a doctor doesn't treat patients'? She's just faking it."
"But Ruo'an, you should go and check on her quickly. Don't let her embarrass herself at this crucial moment. I'll stay at the door."
Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan nodded and calmly entered the Marquis's residence.
In fact, she already had the antidote in her hands; once she took it, the illness would be cured.
She simply didn't want to cure Song Xizhi so soon. If she could make Song Xizhi suffer unbearable pain and make a fool of himself in front of all the ladies...
Then, as soon as she arrived, she cured Song Xizhi. Let's see how she can still deny that she has medical skills in the future.
Song Ruoan thought for a moment, then walked around again, exchanged a few polite words with the ladies she knew, and only went over hurriedly when the maid came to urge her a second time.
Before she could get close, she heard a painful groan coming from inside the screen.
However, the voice did not sound quite like Song Xizhi's.
Song Ruoan was slightly taken aback, then quickly walked around the screen and saw a person with a pale face and covered in sweat.
That person was none other than Lin Miaoxin!
Song Ruoan froze, then ran like the wind to Lin Miaoxin's side.
"Miaoxin, Miaoxin! It's you! Are you alright?"
Lin Miaoxin clutched her stomach tightly with both hands, curled up on the stool, her lips trembling: "My stomach hurts... Ruo'an, my stomach hurts..."
"Was it that bowl of plain porridge? Did Song Xizhi deliberately try to harm me? She even apologized to me..."
As Song Ruoan listened, her mind went blank, and she hurriedly looked up in Song Xizhi's direction.
But she saw Song Xizhi's clear black and white eyes staring at her quietly. She didn't say anything, yet it was as if she knew everything.
Song Ruoan felt a chill run down her spine. She immediately dismissed Lin Miaoxin's guess, afraid that others would discover the problem with the congee.
"It's not because of the congee. You didn't look well when you came. It must have been worse because you were out in the wind!"
"It's alright, I have medicine. You'll feel better after you take it."
Song Ruoan took a deep breath, finding Lin Miaoxin's pale face truly frightening, several times more exaggerated than she had imagined.
She shakily took out the antidiarrheal medicine she had prepared beforehand from her purse, handed it to the maid, and instructed her to feed it to Lin Miaoxin.
Immediately afterwards, Song Ruoan secretly instructed Granny Hu to bring the renowned physician Qihuang over as soon as possible, so that she could have a plan in case anything happened.
After Granny Hu hurriedly left, she quickly returned to Lin Miaoxin's side, tightly grasping Lin Miaoxin's hand, her expression tense.
"Miaoxin, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
After taking the medicine, Lin Miaoxin felt the pain in her abdomen subside considerably, so she nodded and said, "Ruo'an, your medical skills are truly amazing. I feel much better."
Song Xizhi raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone cool: "Good medical skills are about prevention, not about fixing things after they've happened. Ruo'an, didn't you anticipate Miaoxin's situation before? And you still let her come out to get some fresh air?"
Lin Miaoxin's eyes widened: "What are you saying here, trying to sow discord?"
"Ruo'an's medical skills are a hundred times, a thousand times better than yours, you are..."
Before Lin Miaoxin could finish speaking, she felt a salty, metallic taste rise in her throat, and before she could swallow it, she suddenly spat it out.
The sight of the blood-soaked body shocked everyone present, and one of the ladies even screamed.
After spitting out blood, Lin Miaoxin collapsed weakly from the chair and slid to the ground.
Song Ruoan felt as if everything before her eyes was a crimson red.
Looking at this familiar scene before her, she had a bad feeling, and her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were trembling slightly.
Three people... She treated three people in succession...
They all vomited blood...
Lin Miaoxin's personal maid was frantic and held Lin Miaoxin tightly in her arms, crying out, "Miss? Miss?"
"What on earth is going on? Miracle doctor, what on earth is going on?"
"My young lady has been taking your medicine without fail, so why is she suddenly vomiting blood?"
The maid's shrill voice brought Song Ruoan back to her senses. She rushed to Lin Miaoxin's side and took her pulse.
"This is a sign that she's getting better! This is a sign that she's getting better! It means she's vomited out the poison!"
"Once I prescribe another medicine for her, she'll be full of energy again!"
As Song Ruoan spoke, she hurriedly stood up and walked out as if she had lost her soul: "I'll go get the medicine right now, I'll go get the medicine right now..."
She tried to comfort herself, thinking that things would get better once the renowned doctor arrived.
Before Song Ruoan could even step out from behind the screen, she saw Granny Hu stumbling towards her from afar, her face full of panic.
"Miss...Miss, the legendary Physician Qihuang is gone! His entire house is half empty!"
Hu Mama's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering Song Ruoan into pieces. Her whole body turned ice-cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
But the commotion behind them was like the last straw that broke the camel's back: "Oh no! Oh no! Miss is bleeding from all seven orifices!"
