Knowing that the problem was with the gouache, Ren Shimao immediately asked several doctors to check what kind of poison was contained in the gouache so that they could detoxify Lin and Ren Yaoyu.
Upon learning that the patient was indeed poisoned, the doctors finally felt more at ease. Several doctors gathered together, each using their expertise. It just so happened that one of the doctors Ren Shimin had previously found was skilled in identifying poisons. He recognized that the substance mixed with the gouache was soaked in the venom of a poisonous toad, and that the detoxification was not difficult.
However, Ren Yaoyu's body is too weak now. I don't know if she can survive the medicine. After all, all medicine is poisonous, and the antidote is not completely harmless. Ren Yaoyu's current physical condition is really not optimistic.
Master Ren Wu looked at the weak and lifeless Ren Yaoyu lying on the bed and had no other choice but to grit his teeth and ask the doctor to prescribe medicine. After all, having hope is better than lying there and waiting to die.
The doctor prepared an antidote overnight and gave Lin and Ren Yaoyu a bowl of it. He also asked the maids to soak cotton handkerchiefs with the medicine and apply them to Lin and Ren Yaoyu's faces.
By the second day, after three bowls of antidote had been administered, Lin's condition had finally begun to improve. Although the abscesses on her face and neck still hadn't subsided, they were already showing signs of scarring. Previously, when Lin was given the antidote, she would spit out most of it after a bowl, but now she could swallow the medicine herself and even eat some porridge.
Ren Shimao was overjoyed at Lin's improvement, and from that moment on, he sat on the edge of the boat bed and refused to leave, hoping to see his wife and daughter recover. At this time, the condition of Lin and Ren Yaoyu's faces and necks was extremely horrific, and they also had an unpleasant odor. Even the maids who came to apply facial masks on them deliberately avoided their eyes and held their breath, but Ren Shimao didn't care at all.
Mrs. Lin kept looking at her daughter and her husband. She was still very weak and unable to speak, but her tears never stopped.
Ren Yaoyu's condition wasn't very good. The medicine was poured directly down her throat, but she showed no signs of waking up. The doctor said that it was because Ren Yaoyu had suffered so much damage this time that even if the poison could be removed, the damage to her body had already been done. Whether she could wake up was up to fate.
Ever since he knew that Lin and Ren Yaoyu were poisoned, Ren Shimao stopped going to Yanzhou in order to hurry up and detoxify the mother and daughter. Instead, they stopped in Zhending and temporarily rented a yard from a local family to live in.
By the fourth day, most of the toxins in Lin's body had been cleared, and she was able to speak. However, Lin and Ren Shimao could only watch each other in tears. The joy of Lin's recovery was overshadowed by the shadow of Ren Yaoyu's possible death.
Ren Yaoyu's condition was actually better now than before, as the toxins had been cleared from her body and she was able to swallow on her own. However, she did not regain consciousness until the tenth day.
By this time, Lin was able to get out of bed, and the pimples on her face had scarred. The doctor said that after the scars fell, some white marks would remain on her face. It would be impossible to completely eliminate them, but with consistent application of medication, the marks would fade significantly in two or three years. Since Lin was a woman, some makeup wouldn't be too scary.
Lin used to be very concerned about her appearance. If she had heard that her face would be covered with so many marks, she would have been devastated. However, this time, Lin had already walked through the gates of hell, and Ren Yaoyu had not yet woken up. She really didn't have the mood or energy to care about her face.
