Although it was late at night, the noise in the medical room still attracted everyone.
"What's the matter? Ah Hao, why are you running here so late?" Ruan Huaqing's face looked even uglier than during the day. Ruan Xi couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw it.
The test results showed that Ruan Huaqing's condition was more complicated and more dangerous than the old lady's. If things went wrong, his aunt's fate would definitely be more tragic than dying directly.
The old lady was the last to arrive. The housekeeper bowed slightly and supported her. After she sat down, he looked at Ruan Xi and asked, "Master Xi, what happened here?"
"You'll have to ask them. They wanted to climb through the window to get into the medical room." Ruan Xi shrugged nonchalantly and walked over to the old lady. "Grandma, it's so late. You shouldn't come down. A good sleep will help your body recover."
After hearing what Ruan Xi said, the old lady's expression immediately eased a little. She raised her hand and patted the back of Ruan Xi's hand twice, "There is someone making a noise at home. I can't sleep well even if I stay in bed. I have to come down to check on them." The implied meaning of these words can be understood by anyone with a brain. Several people's faces changed immediately, but they kept their mouths shut and said nothing. After all, whoever jumps out at this time will be the first to stand out, and who else will be beaten if not you?
"I'm here to see my own son. Do I need anyone's approval? It's obvious that Ma Hao has bad intentions and is sneaking around here!" Miao Shulan didn't know whether she was too nervous or too guilty. Anyway, after being provoked by the old lady, she immediately became a little hysterical. This shout startled everyone so much that they subconsciously shuddered.
"Hey, Shulan, you are yelling so loudly, are you feeling guilty? If you want to see your son, you can do it during the day. Why do you have to climb through the window in the middle of the night..." Zhong Jing said this, her tone and expression seemed to be comforting, but in fact, everyone could feel that she was mocking him.
Miao Shulan had never been at odds with Zhong Jing since she married into this family. She could not stand this ridicule and immediately started quarreling without caring about anything. Even if Zhong Jing did not respond, she would still quarrel heatedly, which was really a lively scene to watch.
But Ruan Xi's brows furrowed slightly.
Why does this situation of losing control of temper seem somewhat similar to Ruan Huaqing's? Could it be...
The old lady looked up and saw Ruan Xi's expression. She immediately frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "What are you doing? You think it's not enough to embarrass yourself in front of your family, and you want to draw people to watch? We'll talk about this tomorrow. Go back to bed!"
The old lady still spoke with great authority. Even though Miao Shulan was still very emotional, she was held tightly by her husband and her mouth was covered by her youngest son. Seeing her struggling and wanting to continue quarreling, Ruan Xi frowned more and more.
Finally, everyone went back to their rooms, and only the old lady and the housekeeper stayed. After the old lady gave a look, the housekeeper went to guard outside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping or peeping.
"Xiao Xi, tell grandma honestly, your mother..." The old lady didn't finish her words, but her expression showed what she meant.
"Grandma, the situation is a bit complicated. The people who are poisoned may not only be you and aunt, but my mother may also..." When Ruan Xi said the word "mother", she got goosebumps. To be honest, Ms. Miao Shulan was not qualified to be a mother to Ruan Xi. It was also thanks to the original owner that she had been treated harshly by her biological mother for so many years, but she still did not feel resentment. If she did not have a good heart, she would not care at all.
"Investigate! There's no need to hide it anymore. Tomorrow I'll have the housekeeper take blood samples from everyone. I want to see how many people in this family have been poisoned!"
The old lady was obviously angry. Her breathing was a little unstable. She gasped slightly and clenched her fists. Ruan Xi quickly squatted down and held the old lady's hand, gently comforting her: "Grandma, don't be angry. The person behind this is either looking for people or money. It's obvious. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will definitely not leave. We will eventually find him. You are right. It's good to investigate openly. If that doesn't work, we can just call the police. Who is afraid of who?"
These words were clearly a serious statement of reason, but they made Ruan Xi sound a bit rogue, which made the old lady laugh. Her stern face finally relaxed, and Ruan Xi felt a lot more at ease.
"Grandma, there is one more thing I need to make clear to you. You need to be mentally prepared." Ruan Xi's mind tensed up when he thought about what he was going to say next.
The old lady was a clever person. She immediately guessed that Ruan Xi was going to talk about her daughter's situation, so she asked without hesitation, "Is it about your aunt? She was poisoned... is it very troublesome?"
Ruan Xi prepared an effective antidote for the poison the old lady herself had been poisoned with in less than a night, but he was unable to come up with a definitive answer for the poison in his daughter's body until it was revealed. If there was no problem with the instrument, then there was something wrong with the poison his daughter had been poisoned with.
"Well, it's very troublesome and complicated. For now, I can only confirm that it is a mixture of at least three psychotropic toxins. The hematopoietic cells in my aunt's body have already developed obvious lesions. The damage is almost irreversible..." When she said this, the old lady suddenly grabbed Ruan Xi's arm with such great force that her hand was even shaking slightly.
"Almost... So, there is still hope for a reversal, right?" The old lady valued each of her children equally, but she had a little more preference for her only daughter. This was human nature. She really couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer such a bad fate at such a young age.
"Yes, no matter how small the chance is, I will definitely seize it. Don't worry, grandma, I won't let anything happen to my aunt." If it were in his previous life, he would not easily say such confident words. After all, any kind of accident may happen in the process of treating patients.
However, now, his only friend is the Tree of Life, and this plug-in couldn't be more practical.
After comforting the old lady and watching the housekeeper help her back to her room to rest, Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go back to the medical room to continue his work.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure around the corner, trying to get out. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother, what are you hiding for? I saw you."
Ruan Ping scratched his head, walked out from the corner embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly, and then asked: "Um... Grandma is not angry, right? I think she is not in a good spirit..." However, the dull Ruan Ping did not dare to go up to greet his grandmother directly, and could only hide and pay attention secretly.
Ruan Xi looked at him, feeling a bit amused and helpless. She raised her hand and gently patted Ruan Ping on the shoulder, saying, "It's only natural for a grandson to care about his grandmother. Grandma just returned to her room, so she must not be asleep yet. Wouldn't it be more reassuring if you went up to check on her yourself?"
Ruan Xi would never admit that he was instigating. After all, the old lady was quite stimulated today, and he was still worried that her restlessness would affect her physical recovery. With Ruan Ping's straightforward care, she should feel better.
"But...is it okay? Grandma won't be angry, right?" Ruan Ping, who had never done such a thing before, silently covered his chest, feeling a little nervous and excited.
"Go ahead. Your grandmother will definitely be happy that you care about her so much." Ruan Xi continued to encourage her with a gentle and harmless smile.
"Then I'll go. You...you should stop busying yourself and get some sleep." After hurriedly giving a few instructions, Ruan Ping quickly ran upstairs.
After Ruan Ping's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Ruan Xi turned around and entered the medical room without hesitation.
He is so busy, how can he have time to sleep!
