Chapter 940 Aunt is not a stepmother (15)
When Cao Shichu heard the word "Xun Xiu", she was stunned, as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head fiercely, leaving her stunned. This man wearing a cap was actually Xun Xiu? !
The ex-brother-in-law who couldn't lift his penis after being drugged by her? ! Hahaha! When Cao Shichu thought of him, she almost laughed out loud. She never thought that there would be a day when Xun Xiu would come to her house to seek medical treatment! Or was it because of what she did in the past... The development of this world is really wonderful.
Xun Xiu was scolded by his wife, but he didn't care at all. He just kept staring at Cao Shichu. Now, five or six years have passed since he and Cao Shichu got married. Cao Shichu's appearance is no longer the same as before, and they have become two completely different people with different personalities.
Five or six years ago, Cao Shichu was still a little girl in the Cao family who never left the house. She was young and immature in height and appearance, and had not yet developed.
But now, she often goes up the mountain to collect herbs and exercises diligently. Her skin color is no longer as fair and delicate as before, and her figure is taller and more heroic. Whether it is her appearance or her temperament and eyes, she seems to have become a different person. One is just a delicate flower in a greenhouse, while the other has become a proudly standing green bamboo in the wild.
Xun Xiu was not familiar with Cao Shichu at the time, so he just felt that she looked familiar but could not recognize that she was Cao Shichu. Moreover, he saw with his own eyes that Cao Shichu was "burned to death" in the street in her bridal sedan.
"Cao Shichu" was burned to the point where only bones were left, so it was impossible for him to survive. Therefore, he did not have any doubts or recognize that the "Miss Shi" in front of him was the sister-in-law he almost married.
"Don't be unreasonable. I just think this lady looks familiar." Xun Xiu said impatiently, "You doubt me every time I say a word to a woman. Can you stop being so suspicious?"
"Am I the one who is suspicious? It's you. You're almost not even a man, but you still have so many cunning thoughts! Xun Xiu, I tell you, if you can't cure this problem, I will divorce you! I was blind at the beginning and believed what your mother said. I thought those rumors were really spread by your enemies against you, but I didn't expect them to be true. I was too stupid..." The woman was angry and hateful.
Cao Shichu, who was standing by, heard her words and immediately showed a sympathetic look. He didn't know what had happened to this lady. She actually believed the Xun family and foolishly married into their family. By marrying into their family, she had fallen into a den of wolves, hadn't she? Not only was she left as a widow, but she also had to accompany her infirm husband to secretly come out to see a doctor in the middle of the night. How pitiful.
"Shut up right now, the most important thing now is to see a doctor!" Xun Xiu saw Cao Shichu's face full of anticipation, his face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
Xun Xiu's wife turned around and wiped her tears. After calming down, she said to Cao Shichu, "Madam Shi is a smart person. She must know what to say and what not to say, right?"
"Of course, don't worry, I've never seen you two outside my house." Cao Shichu said tactfully, thinking that he just felt sorry for her, but he didn't expect that she would turn around and threaten him. What a waste of his feelings.
However, Cao Shichu was already satisfied to see Xun Xiu's joke tonight.
She pretended to feel Xun Xiu's pulse, and then examined him carefully, then said solemnly: "This master must have been poisoned, a strange poison called 'Qingxin', which was brought from foreign lands in the previous dynasty. However, because it was too toxic, the government later issued an order to ban it. I thought it had been lost, but I didn't expect to see it in you..."
"What? You said I was poisoned?" Xun Xiu jumped up from his seat in shock, his eyes wide open. How much ridicule and bitter medicine had he endured in the past few years because of this problem? He was repeatedly diagnosed by doctors as having an unknown cause. He thought it was really because he saw his bride burned to death on the street that he had a psychological trauma. But now, Cao Shichu told him that he was not traumatized, but was poisoned! How could he not be shocked?
Xun Xiu's clenched fists were so tight that his palms were scratched. His eyes were red and he asked with gritted teeth: "Who is so vicious to poison me like this? If I find out, I will tear him into pieces!"
It would be impossible for any man to remain calm if he found out that his impotence was caused by someone else.
Xun Xiu's wife was also surprised. Her husband's impotence was caused by poison. She quickly asked Cao Shichu, "My dear, if this poison is almost lost, why did it appear again? Who do you think got this poison? Most importantly, can you make an antidote?"
"Antidote? Yes! Antidote! This...miracle doctor! Can you cure the poison I'm suffering from? How?" When Xun Xiu heard his wife asking about the antidote, he didn't bother to find out who poisoned him, but was anxious to get the answer he expected from Cao Shichu.
It's a pity that the poison was originally given by Cao Shichu. How could she possibly detoxify Xun Xiu? Even if she could, she didn't want to.
So she shook her head regretfully and said to Xun Xiu with pity: "I'm sorry, my medical skills are not very good. I can only barely recognize that you have been poisoned by this kind of poison, but I can't make an antidote for you. After all, I am only good at treating women's diseases and delivering babies. I really don't have much research in detoxification. You'd better seek help from someone else."
There is no disappointment without expectation. Once you have expectation but fail to get the answer you want, it is easy to collapse. When Xun Xiu heard what Cao Shichu said, he didn't want to believe it at all. He rushed to Cao Shichu, panting and asked: "How can you not make an antidote! If you can recognize this poison, then you can definitely solve it! You can definitely cure the poison in me..."
Cao Shichu took a few steps back, moving further away from Xun Xiu, and said, "I know you must be very anxious and hope to remove the poison, but I'm really sorry that I don't have the ability to do so."
"No! There must be someone who can solve this poison, right? There must be someone... I don't believe this poison has no solution..." Xun Xiu's eyes were bloodshot as he muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was trying to convince others or himself.
Cao Shichu leisurely admired Xun Xiu's painful expression, and felt extremely refreshed in his heart.
Although Xun Xiu was impotent, he was still alive and well. He didn't have to starve, work hard, or be tortured by his servants. Although he suffered some psychological setbacks, he was still alive, wasn't he? He could still live a life of luxury. How lucky he was!
But what about the original owner? In her previous life, he divorced her without blinking an eye and threw her into the family temple like garbage.
