Chapter 5: Almost Inhumane



Seeing her face flushed with embarrassment, Xiao Qingyun fluttered his long raven-feather eyelashes, half-hiding his dark eyes: "There are clothes in the closet. Go get me a long gown."

"Hmm? Okay..."

Lingzhi calmed herself down, hurried to get new clothes, and handed them to the bedside with her eyes closed. Her fingertips accidentally touched the slightly cool and smooth skin, and she quickly retracted her hand.

Xiao Qingyun took it and put on his clothes before saying to Lingzhi, "Okay, you can turn around now."

Lingzhi mustered up the courage to turn around and said, "Um...you..."

However, before she could finish her words, she began to cough violently.

Xiao Qingyun immediately poured her a glass of water and handed it to her: "Did you choke?"

Lingzhi took it and drank it all. After coughing, she saw the teapot in his hand and realized, "What did you give me to drink just now?"

"Tea."

Xiao Qingyun replied slowly, "The tea is top quality, but it's a little cold. Just drink it."

Before he could finish his words, Lingzhi was already scratching his throat, trying to spit out all the water he had drunk.

"you……"

Xiao Qingyun was filled with surprise. He looked at the Ganoderma lucidum, sniffed the teacup, and asked suspiciously, "Is the tea spoiled?"

It's not broken, it's just been tossed in!

Lingzhi was in so much pain that he was unable to speak. He curled up and shivered constantly.

All over her body, she could vaguely feel insects crawling on her skin.

She scratched hard at every itchy spot on her skin.

But soon, even from the gaps between her bones, it seemed as if countless insects and ants were crawling out little by little.

They couldn't wait to gnaw at every inch of her flesh, like countless sharp steel needles piercing her scalp, fingertips, and toes...

It hurts, it really hurts...

Seeing Lingzhi seemed to be in great pain, Xiao Qingyun's usually indifferent and noble peach blossom eyes were now stained with a hint of anxiety: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The poison from the insect wine took effect and Lingzhi was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

But he still didn't want Xiao Qingyun to find out.

She forced herself to get up and ran out of the side yard.

"Who on earth is so cruel to have harmed me like this? If I find him, I will definitely skin him alive to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Shen Yuchao, the eldest son of the Shen family, who was still awake late at night, was lying on the bed with a haggard face and red eyes, his voice filled with gritted teeth and resentment.

He had diarrhea these past two days and it hurt three inches below his dantian, and even the palm-sized area below his navel didn't feel anything at all.

He is inhumane!

He had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life.

For a man, being inhumane is more terrifying than death.

If this gets out, what will happen to the reputation of their Shen family? How can he still hold his head up among the young masters?

This will be a laughing stock for him for the rest of his life!

Shen Yuchao's head was throbbing, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow it.

"Don't move, young master!"

The doctor took out a silver needle and started to prick the acupuncture points on Shen Yuchao's body.

"Don't worry, young master. This is due to diarrhea that has damaged your vitality. This condition is only temporary. You will be fine after resting for a while..."

As the court doctor spoke, he raised another silver needle, but at this moment, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind.

He was pushed forward by the force and fell into Shen Yuchao's arms, and the silver needle in his hand flew out at the same time.

“Ouch—”

Shen Yuchao screamed, trembling all over, and pushed away the doctor who was pressing on him.

He suddenly looked down and saw a silver needle inserted deep into the inside of his thigh.

A chill came over me and cold sweat broke out like a fountain.

He was only temporarily inhumane, and it almost became permanently inhumane!

"Who? Who is so bold!!!" Shen Yuchao gritted his teeth and said coldly.

Hearing this roar, Lingzhi, who had fallen to the ground, trembled and struggled to get up, pulling on the court doctor's clothes.

Shen Yuchao finally noticed her and frowned: "Damn! Where did this ugly thing come from?"

Lingzhi rubbed her swollen cheek hard, and pushed all her messy hair back.

"Master, please calm down. It was I who overstepped my bounds."

"Lingzhi?! Are you rushing around in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

Seeing that she was the instigator, Shen Yuchao gnashed his teeth, his face as black as the iron pot in the kitchen that had been burning for more than 20 years.

"Sir, I'm always quick and decisive in my work, but you, the needle in your leg is so deep, don't you need to pull it out?"

Lingzhi clicked his tongue twice.

Shen Yuzhao's face turned pale and then he sneered: "Staring at a man's thigh, you really don't have any sense of shame as a girl."

Lingzhi retorted with a smile: "Master, it was I who made the bath water last time. Isn't it too polite to talk about shame?"

Shen Yuchao choked, and her flawless face turned red with anger.

Watching Shen Yuchao's handsome face change from white to red, from red to black, and from black to green...

It's wonderful.

Lingzhi fainted at the right time.

In the end, she and Shen Yuchao were admitted to the same "ward".

After the court doctor gave Shen Yuchao acupuncture, he also gave her medicine to detoxify her.

Although she had taken the antidote for the insect-brewed drunkenness, some residual poison still entered her body, and she suffered a lot.

"well……"

Shen Yuchao lay there and sighed deeply.

"Lingzhi, do you think there are spies sneaking into our house?"

"spy?"

Lingzhi was slightly surprised, "That's impossible!"
