Chapter 50 She is my woman
"It's only been one night..."
Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes and looked at his brother's lips which were blackened by the poison. His mind flashed through his mind with his smile from yesterday. His blood rushed up and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. His body also shook a little.
"Second brother!" Xie Jinyu's face suddenly changed when she saw his appearance. She stepped to his side and supported his shaky body.
"I'm fine..." Xie Suzhou wanted to say something to comfort her, but the blood from the corner of his mouth kept flowing, and he fell forward without any warning.
Xie Jinyu quickly caught him, looking terrified, "Old Du, save my second brother!"
"What a fate this family has!" Du Heng sighed, jumped up and hurried to the two of them.
"Grandpa Du, can Ah Ming be saved?" Aunt Liu wiped her tears and looked at the Xie brothers with eyes full of heartache. "Please think about it again. As long as Ah Ming can be saved, money is not a problem. I will collect it!"
"The poison has spread to every part of his body. There's no way to save him." Du Heng didn't even raise his head, but the sob in his voice had already pierced through his pretended calmness.
Aunt Liu covered her face, not wanting the younger generations to see her tear-stained face.
The surrounding officers all lowered their heads, unable to bear to look at the young man on the rack.
Su Cheng knelt beside the stretcher, placed his fingertips on the back of Xie Ming's hand, and gently turned his palm over. He saw that the palm of his hand, which was stabbed by the arrow, had turned dark purple. He put his hand into his sleeve and glanced back.
"He was ill from overwork. Something happened to a relative of his, and he vomited blood and fainted in a fit of anger. Looking at the bruises under his eyes, I guess he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time." Du Heng withdrew his hand, but the worry between his brows lingered for a long time, and his attention was all on Xie Suzhou.
While everyone was not paying attention, Su Cheng quickly opened the brocade box, took out the thumb-sized pill inside, pulled open Xie Ming's thin lips, and stuffed it into his mouth roughly.
As luck would have it, Xie Jinyu looked up at her. Seeing her movements, she pursed her lips and felt a little hope in her heart.
"Carry your brother down, light this incense, and let him have a good sleep." Du Heng pretended to be fine and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "It will all pass."
"Mr. Du, why do the dark purple spots on Xie Ming's mouth seem to have lessened?"
Su Cheng's words attracted everyone's attention. Upon hearing the words, they all leaned over and surrounded Xie Ming.
"Get out of the way! Let me see!" Du Heng reached out and pushed aside the officer blocking his way. He hurried back and saw that the dark purple color on the young man's lips had mostly faded. "This... How is this possible? His pulse just stopped!"
Su Cheng hadn't expected the small pill the system gave him to work so quickly. He hurriedly tried to find an excuse for Xie Ming's change, "Maybe you've been seeing too many injured patients today and you took the wrong pulse. Go check on him and see how he's doing."
"I've lived for most of my life, how could I have ever made a mistake?" Du Heng refused to believe it and took Xie Ming's pulse again. Under his fingertips, he felt Xie Ming's pulse was strong and powerful. "This... this kid is alive!"
Not only was he alive, the toxins in his body were also dissipating. In just the time it took to take his pulse, the dark purple dissipated, revealing his original lip color.
Du Heng's face flashed with a hint of uncertainty, and he murmured softly, "Could it be that I really took the wrong pulse?"
"Maybe my fourth brother is not destined to die, and there is a god protecting him." Xie Jinyu looked at Su Cheng calmly, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and said softly, "I'd like to trouble you, officers, to lend a hand and carry my second and fourth brother back home."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother! This is all I should do!" Upon learning that Xie Ming was safe, the leading officer spoke with a tearful tone, and the rough man couldn't help but redden his eyes. "Brother Xie saved my life, so he is my Cao Shanwei's biological brother. From now on, his affairs are my affairs. There's no need to be so formal with me!"
Xie Jinyu forced a faint smile on her lips and whispered a thank you. Then she turned around and looked at Su Cheng. Her brows softened instantly. "Sister-in-law, come home with me."
Su Cheng had an injury on his foot, and even with Xie Jinyu supporting him, he was still limping.
The long gown Xie Jinyu was wearing was stained with mud, and the dirt was blown dry by the wind, causing the corners of the clothes to wrinkle, and his handsome face was also covered with black and white spots.
The two little bitter melons supported each other and walked side by side, attracting many people to stop and watch along the way.
I finally walked back to Xie's house, and before I reached the door, I smelled the fragrance wafting out.
The two looked at each other and took a step forward together.
"Su'er, drink more fish soup. It's become milky white." Xie Song sat in the yard and scooped a spoonful of soup to the woman's mouth. "If you drink more, our daughter can eat more too."
Yao Suer glared at him in a reproachful manner, with a shy look on her face, and took the fish soup that was brought to her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, slow down." Xie Jinyu supported Su Cheng's arm, put his left hand around her left shoulder, and held her right wrist tightly with his right hand. At first glance, it seemed like he was holding her in his arms.
The noise coming from the door drew the two people in the courtyard up. Seeing Su Cheng and Xie Jinyu standing so close together, Xie Song's face darkened immediately. He placed the bowl heavily on the stone table and asked loudly, "Are you two going to avoid people now?"
Xie Jinyu tightened his grip around her shoulders, raised his eyebrows and sneered, his eyes teasing as he said, "Big brother was kissing and making out with a strange woman in the yard, and he didn't even think of hiding it. My sister-in-law and I are innocent, so why should we be afraid of others looking at us?"
Su Cheng glanced at the woman in the yard, frowned slightly, and reached around Xie Jinyu's back, pinching the flesh around his waist as a warning.
When she pinched the most sensitive part, Xie Jinyu moved her waist and bit the soft flesh in her mouth hard to hold back her groan.
Xie Song stared at the two of them coldly, his tone mocking, "You two are hugging each other, and you still have the nerve to say that everything is innocent?"
Xie Jinyu chuckled softly and spoke leisurely, "I don't want to be clear about it. If big brother can convince sister-in-law, I will definitely invite big brother to our wedding banquet."
"Xie Jinyu, do you still see me as your big brother?" Xie Song slammed his big hand on the stone table, scaring the baby next to him so much that he started crying non-stop. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he didn't care about anything else, but stared fiercely at his brother opposite him.
"My eldest brother drowned a year ago." Xie Jinyu raised the corners of her lips and spoke in a casual tone, "I wonder whose husband and whose father the person standing before me now is?"
Their eyes met, and in a flash, Yao Suer tugged at Xie Song's sleeve and spoke to break the stalemate. She looked at Su Cheng with a smile, her eyes landing on her bright and beautiful face. The corners of her mouth twitched twice, "Xie Lang, this is the Su family's sister, right? She's so pretty. Come and sit down. There's fish soup in the pot. I'll go get you some."
"Fish soup?" Su Cheng stepped into the yard, his steps slow and light. He looked towards the kitchen and spoke slowly, "Who allowed you into the kitchen?"
Yao Suer's face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid behind Xie Song, whispering softly, "Xie Lang... Does the Su family's sister not like me..."
"Don't be afraid. No one can bully you with me here." Xie Song protected her behind him and comforted her softly. Then he turned his head and looked at Su Cheng coldly, "She is my woman. Can't she enter my kitchen?"
