The steward returned and reported that Doctor Cai had gone to the capital to treat a nobleman and would not be back for the time being.
Madam Zhong found it very strange that Lin Wanqing went to the capital and Cai Fanzhou also went to the capital. What a coincidence!
Su Ruojin arrived shortly afterward, carrying her medicine box.
"Dr. Su, thank you for making this trip. Please take a look at my daughter. What's wrong with her covered in these dark spots? Can they be cured?" Madam Zhong's eyes reddened as she spoke.
Although Jin'er is physically weak, she is still a young woman. If these dark spots on her body cannot be removed, her life will be over.
“Mrs. Zhong, don’t worry, let me take Miss Zhong’s pulse first.” Su Ruojin sat down next to Zhong Rujin and took her wrist.
As she had guessed, Zhong Rujin had indeed been poisoned by Youying Shuang.
"Miss Zhong has been poisoned by the Shadow Frost. Once the poison is neutralized, she will be fine." Su Ruojin didn't waste any words and directly took out the antidote pills and handed them to Zhong Rujin.
"Miss Zhong, take this pill and you'll be fine."
Because Lin Wanqing had spoken ill of Su Ruojin to Zhong Rujin before, she harbored some resentment towards Su Ruojin.
But for some reason, seeing Su Ruojin in person now, and seeing her so confident, Zhong Rujin couldn't help but feel a sense of trust.
Without thinking much, she took the pill and swallowed it.
Su Ruojin turned to Zheng Mama and said, "Mama, please take Miss Zhong to the restroom."
As soon as Su Ruojin finished speaking, Zhong Rujin felt her stomach start to feel uncomfortable.
Granny Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Zhong Rujin toward the urinal.
Watching the two leave the room, Madam Zhong was very anxious: "Dr. Su, what will happen to this poison? Who on earth wants to harm my daughter!"
Previously, after being reminded by Su Ruojin, Madam Zhong discovered that it was when Concubine Chen was still her personal maid that Chen poisoned her labor-inducing medicine during her childbirth, causing severe bleeding that almost cost her and her child their lives.
Madam Zhong had never killed anyone, and out of consideration for Aunt Chen, who had been her dowry maid, she spared her life, but beat her and then sold her off.
Aunt Chen is no longer in the mansion, and Madam Zhong can't imagine who else would want to harm her daughter.
Su Ruojin took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands: "Madam Zhong, don't worry. Miss Zhong will be fine once the toxins are expelled after taking the antidote pill. The Shadow Cream will only cause dark spots, it has no other harm."
If Madam Zhong knew that Youying Shuang was just a poison she made on a whim, I wonder what she would think.
Thinking of this, Su Ruojin felt a little guilty. She had only made the poison for fun, and she never expected it would actually be used to harm people.
"That's good, that's good, thank goodness you're here." Madam Zhong was relieved.
“Madam Zhong, the Shadow Frost itself is a minor issue. I would like to discuss Miss Zhong’s leg ailment with you,” Su Ruojin said earnestly, putting down her handkerchief.
When Su Ruojin mentioned Jin'er's health, Madam Zhong couldn't help but feel sad: "Dr. Su, you know I had a difficult childbirth. Jin'er was born weak and later she couldn't even walk. It's all my fault."
Su Ruojin said, "Miss Zhong is still young, and her body hasn't fully developed yet. There's still hope for her leg. With a period of treatment and some rehabilitation exercises, she should be able to walk normally, but strenuous running and jumping might not be an option..."
"What?! What did you say? Jin'er can walk normally again?" Madam Zhong suddenly raised her voice and stood up from her chair.
Because of Jin'er's illness, she consulted countless doctors, all of whom said that it would be difficult for Jin'er to stand up again.
Now Su Ruojin says that Jin'er can walk normally.
She never expected Jin'er to be able to run and jump or walk normally again; that would already be a blessing.
Madam Zhong was so regretful she wanted to slap herself. If she had known this would happen, why didn't she ask Doctor Su to come and examine Jin'er sooner?
Just then, a tense voice came from the doorway.
