Seeing that Shi Murou was silent, Shen Liang felt a little flustered and grabbed her hand.
"Rou'er, you don't believe me."
"I believe you, Brother Shenliang. Don't say anything. Just wait for the doctor to arrive. Don't be afraid, the doctor will cure you." Shi Murou gave him a gentle smile. She was also very anxious. Shenliang's condition was not good, and she had no time to think about so many other things.
Shen Liang shook his head: "I feel my life slipping away, my body getting colder and colder. This snake is probably highly venomous. Rou'er, I'm so scared. I'm afraid of losing you. I hope you can marry me now and become my wife."
As he spoke, he gripped Shi Murou's hand tightly.
"Rou'er, promise me, promise me, okay?"
When Shi Murou saw his face turn pale and then blue, large tears rolled down her cheeks as she choked out.
"I... I've always wanted to marry you, but my grandfather and my parents haven't agreed yet, and I can't make the decision." Then, she burst into tears.
"Rou'er, listen to me. Now, right now, is a good opportunity. Let Master Shi know that I was bitten by a snake for you and that I am willing to give my life for you. Maybe Master Shi will be moved and agree to our marriage."
Shi Murou's expression shifted: "Yes, how could I not have thought of that? When the doctor arrives, I will go back to find Grandpa. I believe that when Grandpa sees you doing this, he will value you even more."
"This is a rare opportunity for us. You should try your best to seize it and it would be best to agree tonight. Otherwise, if you keep delaying, you may really have to wait one or two years."
"You don't know, the girl I was betrothed to since childhood has always admired me and has been waiting for me. Even though the Qiao family gave in, she still has feelings for me. So many people in the village are watching. What if they gossip and put pressure on our Shen family? And since the engagement hasn't been finalized yet, what should our Shen family do?"
"So, we need to hurry up with things between us."
Shi Murou was stunned again. Today, the little girl said that her cousin had completely let go of Shen Liang and didn't even think about him anymore, but Shen Liang's version of events was completely different.
Who's telling the truth and who's lying? Shi Murou felt her brain was completely overwhelmed.
Just then, the doctor arrived and hurriedly examined Shen Liang.
He glanced at the wound and identified the venom: "It's a viper. The poisoning is quite severe, but with timely treatment, this person can be saved."
If it's a cobra or a five-step snake, then it's basically very difficult to save the patient.
Shi Murou was relieved.
"Brother Shenliang, I'll go home now."
"Yes, Rou'er, remember what I said. I'm working hard for our future, and you have to work harder too." Shen Liang managed to squeeze out these words before finally fainting.
As night began to fall, Shi Murou walked back home, feeling extremely upset and conflicted.
"Miss, what's wrong? Doctor Qin has already said that Young Master Shen can be saved," the maid asked.
"Peach, do you think Shen Liang is an honest person?"
Peach didn't know why Shi Murou suddenly asked that question. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't seem to have any problems. Besides, Miss, don't you also like Young Master Shen's character?"
Shen Liang is handsome and of noble character, which is why the young lady admires him.
Shi Murou pursed her lips and didn't speak; her expression wasn't good.
She cannot tolerate anyone lying, no matter who it is.
When she got home, Shi Murou didn't mention the matter to Master Shi and told Taozi to keep it a secret for the time being.
After a restless night, she took a horse-drawn carriage to Datian Village early the next morning.
