"I... I can't cure Mrs. Ruan's illness. I'm leaving first..." In the silence, the doctor's sudden collapse seemed particularly abrupt.
The doctor tried to remain calm and turned to leave, but the housekeeper grabbed his wrist and twisted it. The young doctor screamed and half-knelt down, his face turning pale with pain.
"No one is allowed to leave until the Madam is well!" Such a cold remark was so domineering that it surprised Ruan Xi.
But it was good that someone was helping him control the situation, and he could concentrate on detoxifying his grandmother.
"Butler, I leave the others to you. Big brother, come and help." Ruan Xi gave a few simple instructions and stopped looking at anyone. Instead, he focused on treating the old lady.
The housekeeper understood what was said immediately. He calmly knocked the struggling doctor unconscious with a palm, walked slowly to the door, and blocked everyone's way.
"Butler, what do you mean? We..." Miao Shulan was already confused by this scene. She was so nervous that she wanted to go back to her room to relax. But her way was blocked and she almost went crazy on the spot.
"I've said it before, no one is allowed to leave until the Madam is well. Young Master Xi said that the Madam was poisoned, so everyone present is a suspect, including me." The implication was that no one could leave, it couldn't be clearer.
"You!" Miao Shulan was so angry that she almost burst into a curse, but Ruan Mingxuan pulled his wife back in time, "Stop it!"
The chaos here did not affect Ruan Xi's treatment at all. He had already used a simple method to prepare an antidote at the big tree. With the addition of the leaves of the Tree of Life, he believed that even if he could not detoxify the old lady in one go, he could effectively alleviate her condition.
The fact was just as Ruan Xi expected. After feeding the old lady a bottle of antidote, her complexion immediately improved. She became only slightly pale, and no longer had the scary purple-blue color.
"Is it... Xiaoxi?" The old lady looked very weak. She spoke in a very soft voice and was panting. Unless you got close to her, you couldn't hear what she was saying.
She had never imagined that she would end up in such a situation. If she still couldn't figure out that she had been victimized, then her role as the head of the Ruan family would be in vain.
"Grandma, I'm Xiaoxi. Don't worry, I can definitely cure you and make you live a hundred years." Ruan Xi comforted the old lady in a gentle voice, and gently pressed her forehead with her warm palm. "No, I want you to live two hundred years. Just relax and cooperate with my treatment."
Thinking about the interstellar age, when the average life expectancy of human beings has reached about two hundred years, Ruan Xi changed his words again. He did not seem nervous at all, and there was even a hint of smile in his voice, which made people clearly realize that he was very confident in curing the old lady, and even thought it would be easy for him.
"Xiao Xi, are you really...really okay? What else do you need me to do? Do you need to feed your grandma some medicine?" Ruan Ping was the person who witnessed the miracle at the closest distance. His grandma was almost dying, but was saved by a bottle of ordinary medicine. Now in his eyes, Ruan Xi was like a god, and he worshipped her in every way.
"Not for now, big brother, please help me get that medicine box. I need to draw blood from grandma." A blood test is needed to determine what kind of poison the old lady was poisoned with. He was careless before and thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would not be in a hurry to strike again, which almost cost the old lady's life.
I'm still taking things for granted, I need to change that.
Ruan Xi silently warned himself to be more cautious in the future, but his hands did not stop moving at all. He drew out the amount of blood he needed in one go, then looked up at the butler guarding the door.
"Housekeeper, let everyone go and rest first. However, no one is allowed to leave the house. This doctor has also been properly accommodated."
The implication remained the same—no one was allowed to leave until the old lady got better.
"Yes, Master Xi."
