Chapter 46 Did you drug her?
Her feet didn't even dare to stop on the ground; she kept hopping.
"My feet, my feet, brother, save me! Save me!"
The maid beside her turned deathly pale with fright, but still tried to remain calm, saying, "Miss, it's alright, it's alright. I'm here, I will definitely not let the rats hurt you."
Zhao Xiuyuan, who had already left, came back in when he heard the noise.
"What's wrong?"
"Moon, you are a young lady from a respectable family, so be more mindful of your behavior."
After saying that, he frowned and said, "Why aren't you closing the door? Do you want everyone to see Miss like this?"
Then, while comforting his screaming sister, he squinted at Jiang Nuanzhi, instinctively feeling that Yue'er's current condition was related to this ugly woman.
"Oh dear, what's wrong, Miss? Do you need my help?" Jiang Nuan stepped forward, patting the dust off her clothes. "Oh dear, we farmers are just a bit rough around the edges. Did I frighten you, Miss? It's just a tiny mouse, not even as long as my palm. Are you scared of it? Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."
"Oh dear! Miss! I caught him."
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she pulled out a dusty, grayish object from under the table.
Zhao Xiyue let out another sharp explosion.
The next second, her neck tilted to the side, and she fainted.
Jiang Nuanzhi rubbed her hands together and smiled sheepishly, "Oh dear, I took the wrong one. It's not a mouse, it's my rag."
Zhao Xiyue fainted from fright, and the entire group of them panicked.
Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't care less about getting angry right away; he just called for a doctor to come and check on his sister.
The guards surrounded the gate so tightly that it was impossible to get through.
The maids and servants were in a panic.
It took the two doctors quite a bit of effort to wake the person up.
Zhao Xiyue slowly opened her eyes and met Jiang Nuanzhi's face, her face immediately turning pale.
"You shrew, you, you, you! How dare you scare me!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked panicked and immediately came over, slapping her thigh and saying regretfully, "Oh dear, Miss, I really didn't mean to! I was afraid of scaring you, so I quickly caught the mouse. Please don't take offense at a country bumpkin like me. I really wanted to befriend you, Miss."
The dust on her body was dispersed by the slapping motion of her thigh.
Zhao Xiyue opened her mouth, about to say something, when she suddenly coughed violently.
Once he started coughing, he couldn't stop, and before long, his face turned completely red from coughing.
Zhao Xiuyuan looked unwell and asked anxiously, "Yue'er, Yue'er? How are you?"
"Young master, it's important to ventilate the room first, as the young lady's old ailment has flared up again!" said the doctor beside her.
"Yes, yes, Miss, you absolutely must not stay in this poorly ventilated house."
Zhao Xiuyuan frowned deeply: "Where's the medicine? Where's the medicine! Where's the medicine that Doctor Que gave us!"
Cuizhu said in a panic, "Yes, medicine." As she spoke, she frantically patted her body, "No. Yes, I accidentally broke it when I went out today. Miss was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't have time to take it with me."
Her voice trembled with tears as she said, "Young master, there's a backup of the medicine; it's at the post station."
"Useless thing."
Zhao Xiuyuan frowned deeply and coldly ordered, "Cover the young lady's face, let's go."
After saying that, he picked up his younger sister, turned around, and went out the door.
From afar, you could still hear him coldly ordering, "Go find the Divine Physician Que, at all costs. If anything happens to the young lady, I'll make sure you all pay with your lives."
The group disappeared from sight in a grand procession.
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes, dusted off her hands, and said in a high-pitched voice, "I'll make you all pay with your lives!"
The CEO quotes and such, though late, have finally arrived.
However, what Jiang Nuanzhi didn't expect was that she didn't hear it from Xie Liangchen, the male lead, nor from Li Junping, the major villain, nor from Li Xiaoer, the second male lead, but instead from this guy named Zhao Xiuyuan.
"You drugged her?"
Jiang Nuanzhi turned around and met Li Junping's slightly probing eyes.
Jiang Nuanzhi scratched her head sheepishly: "No, I'm a doctor, how could I do this? Besides, we don't have any medicine at home."
Li Junping still instinctively felt something was wrong: "You secretly gave her an injection?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shrugged: "No."
Li Junping: "I saw that you had silver needles in your hand."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
"You silly child, in that situation just now, you still had the mind to worry about whether I got the needle or not?"
Li Junping didn't speak, he just looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Okay, I did take the needle. I was thinking of giving her a shot if she didn't have a seizure, and I was also thinking of saving her if she was really about to die."
Li Junping nodded.
"So, she had a relapse, but it's not life-threatening yet, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Mm."
Li Junping: "You could actually have killed her, couldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi frowned: "Ping'er, there are some things..."
"How did you do that?" Li Junping interrupted her, staring intently at her. "Can you teach me?"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at the rather stubborn child in front of her and frowned slightly: "Not now."
Jiang Nuanzhi sighed, her voice earnest: "Ping'er, wait a little longer. Once you're calmer, if you really want to learn, I'll teach you, okay?"
Li Junping lowered his eyes for a while before nodding.
"I see."
Inside the room, Baozhu lay beside Li Rong, tears streaming down her face. She gently wiped away Li Rong's tears with her little hand: "Daddy, don't cry, don't cry."
Li Xiaoer's eyes were also red. Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi, his voice trembled with tears: "Nuanzhi...what are we going to do?"
Jiang Nuanzhi wrapped her arms around him and patted Xiao Er's back reassuringly.
"They say Father will never be able to stand up again, is that true?"
"Bullshit! Who said your father can't stand up? Have you forgotten how amazing your Nuan is? I'll heal your father and he'll be all lively and energetic again to slap their faces."
Li Xiao'er's eyes were misty: "Really?"
"It has to be true."
"Mother." Baozhu looked over with tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Nuanzhi held the two children in her arms. Even though she knew that they would one day trample the people who had bullied them underfoot, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
Regardless of what the future holds, they are still children now. They are powerless to even kill a chicken.
For a moment, Jiang Nuanzhi understood Li Junping.
In the original book, without his own time travel, Baozhu was naturally sold off. Li Junping couldn't find his sister, and with his seriously injured father and lame brother, he endured wave after wave of beatings. No wonder he became twisted and took pleasure in torturing people.
"Let's eat. After we eat, we still have work to do. We need to get up early tomorrow to sell noodles."
Li Junping glanced at the group and walked up to Li Rong: "Father, please wait a moment. I'll cook you some porridge, and you'll be able to eat it in a little while."
He acted as if nothing had happened, setting out bowls and chopsticks for several people as usual, and continued cooking porridge.
He even rolled up and carefully stored the cloth that Zhao Xiyue and her group had stepped on.
After doing all that, seeing that the others hadn't come out to eat yet, he started eating by himself. His face showed no emotion whatsoever.
Jiang Nuanzhi: The rag is so useful, yet she's afraid of it.
