Chapter 648 Snake Venom

Xingxing was just about to ask Mao Fuqiu if she wanted her to take her pulse, but she saw a maid running out from the main courtyard in a panic. When she saw Xingxing sitting by the roadside, she ran over in a hurry as if she had seen someone to save her life.

"Princess——"

The maid fell when she ran over, and fell in front of Xing Xing and Wei Pozi.

Xingxing and Mrs. Wei were both startled and hurried to help the maid.

"Princess, hurry, hurry and go see our old lady!" The maid crawled up from the ground, her face pale with anxiety, "Our old lady was bitten by a snake!"

When Xingxing and Mrs. Wei heard this, they were both shocked.

Mao Fuqiu also stood up in a hurry, very worried: "... How could he be bitten by a snake for no reason? I'll go and take a look too."

The group hurried to where the old lady of Duke Xin lived.

When they arrived at the guest house, Zhaoying quickly ran to the side room where Xingxing lived to get the medicine box, while Xingxing, Mrs. Wei, and Mao Fuqiu went straight into the room where the old lady of Duke Xin lived.

The room of the old lady of Duke Xin is quite big. After Xingxing entered, she found Jiao, Yu Mingzhu, Yu Chongen and Yu Chongjie were all there.

The old lady of Duke Xin was lying on the bed, while Jiao was supporting Yu Mingzhu, who was as fragile as a willow in the wind, and letting her sit beside her. Yu Chongen and Yu Chongjie looked extremely anxious.

Xingxing's eyes paused at the bloodstain at the corner of Mingzhu's mouth.

Jiao came forward excitedly and took Xingxing's hand, her voice choking with sobs: "Xingxing, you're finally here! Come, help my mother and Zhuzhu, take a look! They've been poisoned by snake venom!"

Xing Xing had just seen blood on the corner of Yu Mingzhu's mouth, and she had guessed it in her mind. After hearing what Jiao said, she had guessed it to be about right.

It is estimated that the old lady of Duke Xin was bitten by a snake, and Yu Mingzhu sucked the poisonous blood for her.

Xing Xing didn't bother to ask more questions and first took the pulse of the old lady of Duke Xin.

It was indeed the pulse of snake venom.

The old lady of Duke Xin was not in good condition at the moment, her breathing was rapid and her face was red and a little purple.

Xing Xing directly took out a box of pills from the sachet on her waist and fed one pill to the old lady of Duke Xin, whose breathing was already a little rapid.

The pill melted in her mouth. The old lady of Duke Xin closed her eyes and slowed down.

Jiao said anxiously, "...Zhuzhu has inhaled snake venom for her grandmother. Princess, please take a look at Zhuzhu as well."

Xingxing nodded in agreement.

Although she didn't like Yu Mingzhu, she wouldn't watch her die.

Yu Mingzhu stretched out her hand, and Xingxing felt Yu Mingzhu's pulse and found that the poison in her was lighter than that in the old lady of Duke Xin.

Xing Xing also gave Yu Mingzhu a pill to cure snake venom, and said, "If someone else is poisoned by a snake in the future, don't use your mouth to absorb the poison. This will only poison one more person."

Yu Mingzhu smiled weakly, took the pill and put it in her mouth: "That's my grandmother, I can't care about anyone else."

Jiao was extremely distressed: "Our Zhuzhu has been a kind-hearted child since she was young. She certainly cannot watch her grandmother being poisoned."

Xing Xing thought to herself that it was a good thing that the poisonous snake was not very venomous, and she would prepare some antidotes before going into the mountains. Otherwise, with this method of treatment, only one more person would be poisoned.

"Princess, will they be cured after taking this pill?" Jiao asked worriedly.

Xing Xing shook her head: "How can it be that simple? My pills are only a preliminary detoxification. There will still be some toxins left in their bodies. I will prescribe some more medicine. The old lady and Miss Yu can drink a bowl every day. In about ten days, the toxins in their bodies will be completely cleared."

Hearing what Xing Xing said, Jiao covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, scared to death."

Jiao blamed Yu Mingzhu with a distressed look on her face: "Child, don't be so reckless in the future. I know you care about your grandmother, but you can't be so rash."

Yu Mingzhu leaned weakly in Jiao's arms: "Mother, I understand."

Seeing this picture of the deep love between mother and daughter is very moving.

Xingxing didn’t watch it.

She sat beside the bed of the old lady of Duke Xin. After taking pills specifically formulated to cure snake venom, her symptoms were soon alleviated and she could no longer see people blurry.

The old lady of Duke Xin reached out her hand and stroked Xingxing's cheek: "Good child...it's so much thanks to you."

Jiao was still holding Yu Mingzhu in her arms. When she heard this, she immediately said, "Mother, there is also Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu knew that you were bitten by a snake and was very anxious. I couldn't stop her. This child insisted on sucking out the poisonous blood for you."

The old lady of Duke Xin said calmly, "It's also thanks to Mingzhu."

Xing Xing said, "Madam, how do you feel now? I just used pills to suppress the snake venom in your body, but the bite still needs to be cleaned and disinfected."

The old lady of Duke Xin raised her arm as she was told: "The wound is here."

Xingxing opened the medicine box that Zhaoying brought, and carefully cleaned the snake bite wound for the old lady of Duke Xin, and sprinkled some disinfectant powder on it.

"Okay. Don't let the old lady's wound come into contact with water in the next few days." Xingxing finished the treatment and gave the instructions.

Nanny Qingluan nodded repeatedly, her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she was also very frightened just now.

Xing Xing looked at Nanny Qingluan and asked, "Nanny, where did the old lady go when she was fine? How did she get bit by a poisonous snake? And the poisonous snake that bit her should have been killed, right?"

Qingluan Madam quickly wiped away her tears: "The old lady didn't go anywhere. This morning, she went to the water and land temple to chant sutras. She originally wanted to rest for a while, but who would have thought that a poisonous snake would slip into the Luohan couch next to the window and bite the old lady!"

Nanny Qingluan pointed to the window with a small opening, on which there were traces of a snake slithering.

When Nanny Qingluan recalled it now, she still looked frightened:

"After that poisonous snake bit the old lady, we covered it with our outer garments and put it in a bag. It was so scary... It's all thanks to the princess," said Nanny Qingluan with tears in her eyes. "If it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid it would have been the old lady..."

Nanny Qingluan choked up and couldn't continue.

Yu Chongen was somewhat indignant at what Nanny Qingluan said.

This shows that they don't take Zhuzhu's efforts into consideration at all!

For the sake of their grandmother, Zhuzhu disregarded her own safety and sucked out the poisonous blood for her grandmother. Even if she did not receive any credit for this, it was a gesture of loyalty!

But Madam Qingluan was the one that his grandmother, the old lady of Duke Xin, valued the most. Yu Chongen dared not pick on Madam Qingluan. He was so angry that he could not vent his anger. He could only say stiffly: "...Hasn't the abbot of Baiyun Temple come yet? How could a poisonous snake crawl into the guest house of this temple? How do they manage it?"

After hearing what her second son Yu Chongen said, Jiao was a little scared again and took a breath of cold air: "...There are poisonous snakes here. Zhuzhu has been here for so long..."

Yu Mingzhu leaned on Jiao's arms and said, "Mom, don't worry. Although the sisters in the temple have encountered snakes while sweeping fallen leaves before, this is the first time a poisonous snake has crawled into the house. It's not common."

When Jiao saw that her daughter had been poisoned and wronged, and yet she was so considerate and came to comfort her, she was immediately moved.

At this time, the head of Baiyun Temple came in a hurry. When she heard about the old lady of Duke Xin being bitten by a poisonous snake, her face turned pale and she explained to the old lady of Duke Xin: "Old lady, you are wise. In all these years in our temple, there have only been one or two cases of snake bites. This, this is really an accident."

She thought for a moment, "Maybe the preparations for the land and water dojo these days disturbed these long beasts."

The old lady of Duke Xin actually had no intention of pursuing the matter at this moment, and simply said indifferently: "I'd still like to trouble the abbot to ask someone to prepare some realgar powder and sprinkle it outside the house."

The abbot of Baiyun Temple left with many thanks.

The old lady of Duke Xin had been forcing herself to say so many words before, but now her body, which had just been poisoned, was already very tired. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The group quietly left the house of the old lady of Duke Xin.

However, after only a few steps, Jiao exclaimed in surprise: "Zhuzhu!"

Yu Mingzhu fell on Jiao with a pale face.

Jiao was busy calling Xingxing again: "Princess, come quickly! Please help my daughter!"

Xing Xing didn't take Qiao's hand, she just reached out to help Yu Mingzhu check and said, "It's nothing serious, just go back and have a good rest."

Yu Chongjie stepped forward, picked up the unconscious Yu Mingzhu, and strode towards Yu Mingzhu's room.

Mao Fuqiu was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and just quickly followed.

After a while, everyone left in a clean manner, and it was obvious that they all went to Yu Mingzhu's place.

Xingxing and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, and the two of them went back to the house to change their clothes - they had been digging wild vegetables for the whole morning, and their clothes were somewhat stained with mud.

If it were normal times, Mrs. Wei would naturally not care.

But right now, he is praying together with the ladies of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Wei sighed, not knowing where the feeling came from: "...Actually, being such a noble is not easy."

…

Everyone escorted Yu Mingzhu back to her room in Baiyun Temple like stars surrounding the moon.

Although the room is small, Yu Mingzhu keeps it clean and tidy.

However, compared with Yu Mingzhu's previous pavilion, it was of course a world of difference and could be described as extremely simple.

So much so that when Jiao saw the house, her nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears out of heartache.

Yu Chongjie gently placed the unconscious Yu Mingzhu on the bed.

"Look at this bed. It only has two thin layers of covers. Your sister has been spoiled since she was young. How can she bear this?" Jiao choked.

Yu Chongjie also felt a little uncomfortable.

He stood there without saying a word.

At this moment, Jiao was filled with bitterness and anger.

She looked at Mao Fuqiu who was standing quietly in a corner, and became extremely angry.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Mao couldn't give birth to a legitimate son, why would her daughter have to come to such a place to suffer!

Jiao's words naturally carried a hint of harshness: "Mao! In the past, Zhuzhu was raised by us to be a little spoiled, which may be a bit unfair to you. But you can see that now she has suffered a lot and her temperament has changed! After the water and land training is finished, I will take Zhuzhu back home. After returning home, don't mention the past anymore, do you understand!"

Yu Chongjie's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to defend Mao Fuqiu.

But in the end he said nothing.

Mao Fuqiu just stood there quietly with her head down. After a long while, she whispered, "Don't worry, mother."

Yu Chongjie felt inexplicably uneasy.

Jiao was still very angry.

This Mao has been married for four years but has not given birth to a legitimate son. She is giving her face!

If in the future, her Zhuzhu suffers any injustice because of this Mao Fuqiu again, don't blame her for being rude!

The handkerchief in Jiao's hand was crumpled into a ball.

"What is this?"

Yu Chongen suddenly spoke up.

He pointed to a thick stack of blood-stained papers on the table.

Yu Chongjie's eyelids twitched, he quickly stepped forward, and when he turned over, he felt his whole body tremble.

This is actually scripture written with ink ground from blood!

It is said that scriptures written in blood and ink are more sincere, and the wishes prayed for when burned are more likely to be fulfilled.

This scripture written in blood and ink is an ancient scripture praying for the health and happiness of the family.

Jiao opened it in disbelief. It was a thick stack of blood-ink scripture. It was unknown how long Yu Mingzhu had taken to write it.

Jiao couldn't bear it any longer, so she quickly walked back to Yu Mingzhu's bed, shook her hand, and turned Yu Mingzhu's hand over.

If you look closely at Yu Mingzhu's ten fingers, you can see many old needle holes!

Jiao covered her mouth and started crying.

Her beads!

I don’t know how many lonely nights I spent pricking my fingers with a needle, squeezing out blood, using the blood to grind ink, and devoutly writing down scriptures praying for peace and happiness for my entire family.

Jiao's tears fell violently.

"This silly child... His heart is connected to his fingers, how painful it must be..."

Jiao cried so hard that her whole body was shaking.

Yu Chongjie also felt extremely sad.

Jiao refused to leave Yu Mingzhu's room and wanted to stay there with her.

Yu Chongjie took the silent Mao Fuqiu away and went back to their yard to rest.

"Fuqiu, you have been unhappy ever since I told you that I wanted to take Zhuzhu back home." Yu Chongjie was also greatly shocked just now. He spoke with some patience, "You have also seen just now that Zhuzhu is truly repentant... Can you..."

Mao Fuqi raised her eyes and forced a smile: "Can I do what? ...Can I forgive Mingzhu? You and mother both asked me to forgive Mingzhu, don't worry, I will."

Yu Chongjie was still a little worried: "Really?"

Mao Fuqi seemed too lazy to respond to Yu Chongjie anymore. She curled her lips and lowered her head: "Of course it's true."

Yu Chongjie couldn't help but excitedly grabbed Mao Fuqiu's hand: "Fuqiu, I know that you are always generous... Don't worry, I will treat you and Zhuzhu equally in the future. Whatever Zhuzhu has, you will also have!"

Mao Fuqiu listened to Yu Chongjie's words and felt like crying and laughing at the same time.

Listen, does she have to thank Young Master Yu? How could she, a humble girl like Mao Fuqiu, be treated equally with Yu Mingzhu by Young Master Yu?

ha!

To put it bluntly, why didn't Master Yu treat everyone equally and let Yu Mingzhu also give him a legitimate son? !
