At this moment, Shen Yun was decocting medicine for Wang Shi inside the thatched hut. Today, he had bought some medicine for treating typhoid fever from a local doctor.
The village doctor told him that if there was no improvement after taking these medicines, he must be brought in for a face-to-face consultation.
Soon, Shen Yun had brewed a bowl of medicine, and Ning Yin could roughly tell the formula of the medicine just by smelling it.
It is indeed for treating typhoid fever, but an extra ingredient has been added. This medicine is fine to take alone, but if it is taken together with other medicines for typhoid fever, the medicines will clash, causing the patient's body to deteriorate rapidly.
Ning Yin is a doctor and can't bear to see anyone die in front of her, but she has to make a deal with Shen Yun.
Just as Shen Yun was about to serve the bowl of medicine to Wang Shi, Ning Yin suddenly called out to him.
"Wait, Shen Yun, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun hurriedly put the medicine bowl back on the table and quickly went over.
Wang lay in bed, already feeling resentful because she hadn't eaten enough for dinner.
Ning Yin ate most of the roast chicken; the three of them combined didn't eat as much as Ning Yin alone. Now her stomach is rumbling, and she hasn't eaten a single drop of the chicken.
Shen Jia only ate some chicken skin and chicken head for dinner, and she also ate some chicken wings. How could she not be hungry?
Shen Yun treated Ning Yin like a princess, buying her new clothes, feeding her chicken legs, and serving her tea and water.
If Ningyin hadn't caused him to break the kettle, his Yun'er wouldn't have risked running out again.
Fortunately, Yun'er was skilled in martial arts; otherwise, she might have been captured by Xiao Xuan and his gang.
Just as Yun'er was about to feed herself her medicine, this bitch called him over again. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She slammed her hand on the bed and glared angrily at Ning Yin.
"Ningyin, why can't you wait until I've taken my medicine before you talk to me? Why do you have to call Yun'er over now? You're used to being a queen, and Yun'er has to serve you in everything!"
"Let me tell you, you're carrying another man's bastard child, and Yun'er will never accept you!"
Wang pointed at Ning Yin and cursed angrily, feeling a tightness in her chest that made it hard for her to breathe.
"Mother, Ayin must have something to tell me. Could you please not speak for now?"
Shen Yun interrupted Wang Shi's cursing, squatted down, and said softly, "Ayin, what's wrong?"
Ning Yin smiled irritably and moved back a few feet. She didn't like Shen Yun being too close.
"Shen Yun, I'll tell you a secret, will you let me leave?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun lowered his eyes and remained silent, recalling that Ning Yin had said the same thing last time.
What secrets could she possibly know that I don't, and what conditions could she possibly be negotiating with me?
After a moment of contemplation, he turned to get up to feed Wang Shi her medicine, but Ning Yin stopped him.
“If you don’t listen to me, you’ll probably regret it. I’m not joking with you.”
The man paused, raised his eyelids to look at Ning Yin, and found that Ning Yin's expression was serious and earnest.
"Ayin, no matter what you say, I will not let you leave."
"What if it's in exchange for your mother's life?"
Ning Yin coldly looked at Wang Shi on the bed. She was indeed very ill, and coupled with her hiding with Shen Yun, her body had long been depleted.
However, if properly cared for, one can still live for seven or eight years. But once one drinks this medicine, it will probably be difficult to endure even half a month.
Ningyin knew Wang's health condition before, and that she relied on some expensive Chinese medicine to maintain it. Now, she couldn't afford to take these medicines at all, and given that her illness had been going on for a long time, there was no good solution left.
She could give Shen Yun a prescription and let him get the medicine himself, but only if he let her leave.
Shen Yun pondered Ning Yin's words repeatedly, then suddenly turned to look at the bowl of medicine, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"Ayin, what do you mean by this?"
Could there be something wrong with that bowl of medicine?
Before Ning Yin could speak, Shen Yun seemed to have guessed seven or eight parts of the truth, because he noticed that Ning Yin's eyes were always looking at the bowl of medicine.
There must be something wrong with this medicine.
He had originally intended to go to Kyoto to see a doctor today, but unexpectedly encountered a country doctor on the way.
Thinking that going to the capital was fraught with danger, Shen Yun stopped the man. The man prescribed medicine for him and told him to drink it while it was hot.
He repeatedly recalled the scene in his mind and suddenly felt that the doctor looked familiar, somewhat like the abbot of Huguo Temple.
Upon realizing this, Shen Yun's heart clenched, and he sensed that the place was no longer safe. His eyes darkened.
"Ayin, is this medicine poisonous?"
Ning Yin nodded, "You're smart. But this is also my reminder. If you let me leave, I'll prescribe some medicine for her that can keep her healthy for seven or eight years."
Upon hearing this news, Shen Yun's eyes flickered. How could he not be tempted? His mother was, after all, the most important person to him. If he could ensure her good health for seven or eight years, he would naturally be very willing.
“But Ayin, it’s really dangerous for you to go back. I told you that as long as you leave Kyoto, you can do whatever you want. Why do you have to go back to that cage? Are you really that reluctant to let go of Xiao Xuan? What’s so good about him? Or has he put a spell on you, making you so obsessed?”
Ning Yin shook his head and sneered. In his eyes, it seemed that no one treated him as well as Shen Yun.
But he seemed to have forgotten that all the harm was inflicted on himself by Shen Yun himself.
Now, he seems to see himself as the saint who saved her.
“Shen Yun, I’ve said my piece. You should consider this carefully. In truth, you can’t escape the capital with me. You might as well agree to my request and give the Wang family a chance to survive.”
"A-Yin, you..."
Before Shen Yun could finish speaking, Wang Shi seemed to have grasped at a straw, her cloudy eyes darting around.
She didn't want Ningyin to stay with her son; she just wanted to get her illness cured.
Besides, she's carrying that bastard Xiao Xuan's child. Carrying her around is like carrying a time bomb; it's not safe at all.
They are already in a difficult situation, why should they drag along a burden?
Thinking it over, Madam Wang hurriedly said, "Yun'er, just let her go. She's not one of us. Besides, given our situation, it's not good for us to take her with us. You might as well let her take a look for your mother."
Shen Yun glanced back at Wang Shi's wrinkled eyes and bloodless lips, and his heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.
He couldn't bear to leave anyone behind, whether it was Ning Yin, his mother, or his sister; he wanted to take them all with him.
Shen Yun is selfish; he wants both, wanting to have his cake and eat it too.
He lowered his eyes, pondering what to do.
Yes, what's wrong with him agreeing first? He can always go back on his word once Ningyin writes down the prescription.
What's wrong with being a villain? He did it to save Ning Yin's life.
Thinking about it, Shen Yun suddenly leaned over and moved closer. Ning Yin was confused and quickly backed away.
"Don't hide. I promise you, as long as you treat my mother, I will let you go."
"real?"
"real!"
