"Mother, I'm alright. That person has already left."
"You've left, but what about your poison?" Madam Xu looked at her daughter, trying to discern something from her face. But she couldn't tell at all, and had no idea whether her daughter's poison had been cured or not.
"The antidote isn't here yet." Yunzhu said, revealing a small porcelain bottle in her hand, "The antidote is here."
"Since this is the antidote, what are you waiting for? Take it quickly!" Madam Xu was a little anxious; this poison was no joke. The sooner the antidote was administered, the sooner she could be at ease.
However, Yunzhu did not rush to take the antidote. Instead, she looked at Xu Shi and said seriously, "Mother, it is true that this is the antidote, but the person who gave me the antidote said that it is also poison."
"What do you mean?" Madam Xu's expression immediately changed, not quite understanding what it meant to be both an antidote and a poison.
Yunzhu gave Xu a deep look and said, "What I mean is that the poison I'm afflicted with can only be cured by fighting poison with poison."
"What? How could this happen?" Madam Xu's face instantly turned grim. She said, "Can you still take this antidote? What if you take it and get poisoned by another kind of poison?"
Yunzhu had this worry, which was why she didn't take the antidote immediately. Now, she didn't know how to answer her mother's question.
However, she had a new idea in mind when she held the poison.
However, she was conflicted, unsure whether she should do that. Because if she did, without a second antidote, she would also be doomed.
"Zhu'er, how about we don't take the antidote for now?" Madam Xu asked her daughter tentatively. She had already decided to write back to Jiangnan to see if the Xu family could help her invite someone from Medicine King Valley.
She knew that the Xu family had always had dealings with the people from Medicine King Valley. If they could get someone from Medicine King Valley to help, then the poison in her daughter's body shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, this is all on the premise that Yunzhi doesn't complain. As long as Yunzhi doesn't speak up, the Xu family certainly won't stand idly by, after all, she is the Xu family's daughter, and Zhu'er is also the Xu family's granddaughter.
Yunzhu looked at Xu with some surprise after hearing her words and asked, "Why?"
This was an antidote that had been hard to come by. She wondered if her mother's refusal to let her take it was because she thought the same thing—that she wanted to use it on Yunzhi.
"Didn't you say it was poison? What if it's bad for your health? We'd better wait. Mother is trying to think of a solution."
"Mother, can you really think of a solution?" Yunzhu asked skeptically. If she really could think of a solution, why didn't she say so sooner? Why did she have to go and beg that so-called miracle doctor?
"Yes!" Madam Xu nodded seriously. But in her heart, she was thinking that if the Xu family wouldn't help, she would have no choice but to threaten them with that incident.
Presumably, they wouldn't want Yunzhi to know about that, right?
Seeing Xu's certainty, Yunzhu finally smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll listen to Mother."
Then, she touched the small porcelain bottle in her hand and said, "But we can't waste this, after all, it cost a lot of money."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu immediately asked, "What do you intend to use it for?"
"Naturally, we should let our eldest sister also experience what it's like to be poisoned."
"But..." Madam Xu opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But the words caught in her throat. She knew her daughter had been holding back her anger, and if she didn't let her vent it, something bad would happen sooner or later.
Fine, since she wants to poison Yunzhi, then she'll help her out.
