Chapter 64 -62: Poisoned

Xiao’er led Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Shaowei into the west wing.

“Sit down and make yourselves at home.

I’ll get you some medicine.”

As soon as Xiao’er returned to her room, she immediately went into another dimension to pick a leaf from the Ashoka tree.

“Bai Tian, can this leaf treat burns?”

“Yes, it can.

But it would be best if you didn’t just give him the leaf to eat directly.

Otherwise, if he gets better too abruptly, it will cause trouble.”

“Then, I will crush the leaf and ask him to consume it over ten days.”

“You should also add a drop of water from the pool.

It will be beneficial for him.”

The water from the pool was used for detoxification.

When Bai Tian said that it would be useful for Shangguan Xuanyi, did it mean that “he had been poisoned?”

“Chronic poison.

The poison will unexpectedly flare up causing temporary blindness.

Fortunately, he discovered it early so he hasn’t continued to consume the poison, otherwise he would be blind by now.”

Temporary blindness!

In dangerous situations, temporary blindness could cost one’s life.

Although Xiao’er hadn’t known Shangguan Xuanyi for long, the affinity between people can be strange.

Sometimes you will feel a familiarity with a person after only a few exchanges as though they were an old friend.

This was the feeling Xiao’er had towards Shangguan Xuanyi, a feeling that he was trustworthy and that they had known each other for a long time.

She picked two leaves, crushed them separately, and then mixed one leaf with a drop of water and some pearl powder to create ten small pills.

She wrapped them in paper then left the dimension.

Upon returning to the room where Shangguan Xuanyi was, Xiao’er noticed Shen Bei’er, Shen Bao’er, and Shen Yuzhu were all circled around them.

She raised an eyebrow.

Shen Chengyao and Mrs.

Liu looked extremely embarrassed, while Jingrui and Jinghao were covering their faces in disbelief.

“Ladies, please move a meter away from our master!” Xiao Fuzi blocked the two girls.

“Does your hand still hurt, sir?

If I blow on it, it’ll hurt less,” said Shen Yuzhu.

She had never seen such a handsome young man before, believing she had finally met her ideal husband.

“Sir, I have a top-notch burn ointment here.

Let me apply some for you.

The pain from the hot water must be intolerable!” Shen Bao’er pleaded, appearing delicate and distressed.

Be’er handed a cup of tea to Di Zhaowei, “Sir, please have some tea.

This tea leaf was bought by my uncle from the south, my father loves it!”

Ignoring the two girls, Shangguan Xuanyi surveyed the room.

Di Zhaowei, growing impatient, stood up as soon as he saw Xiao’er appeared at the door, knocking over the cup of tea in Bei’er’s hand, “Can’t you be quick, girl!”

Luckily, the tea was not hot.

Otherwise, she would have been scalded.

Shen Bei’er glared at Xiao’er as her skirt got soaked.

Xiao’er shrugged, “I just went to grab some medicine.

It’s not like I was gone for a long time.”

“Get rid of these crazy women.

The cheap cosmetics are making me sick.”

Crazy women?

Cheap cosmetics?

Shen Bao’er’s face turned red upon hearing this.

She felt humiliated and blamed Shen Yuzhu and Shen Be’er for their behavior, so she started to weep.

She looked so pitiful and forlorn that it stirred sympathy in others.

“Sir~” Her voice was so sultry that it made Di Zhaowei shiver with disgust, causing goosebumps to erupt on his skin.

“I can’t stand it any longer.

I’m leaving first.” He said and then ran out of the room.

“Young Master~” Shen Bei’er mimicked Shen Bao’er’s call and ran after them.

Xiao’er couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Seeing her laugh, Shangguan Xuanyi knocked her lightly on the head with his fan, “Is it funny?”

Immediately, two scrutinizing gazes fell upon her.

Suppressing her laughter, Xiao’er shook her head, “Cough, no, this is the medicine for your burn.

Take one a day for ten days and you’ll be fine.

This is for your guards, also one a day.

Don’t mix up the two packets.”

“The two packets of medicine are different?”

“Yes, yours is much better!”

Shangguan Xuanyi passed the packet of less effective medicine to Xiao Fuzi, “Give one to the right flank, one a day.”

He then opened his own packet, picked up one piece and put it in his mouth.

His action was so graceful that it almost made the two infatuated girls beside him drool.

Xiao Fuzi wanted to stop him, “Master, you can’t just take any medicine from outside!”

“No harm.” The medicine dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and at the same time, the pain in his hand vanished.

Shangguan Xuanyi was surprised.

This medicine worked too quickly.

He hadn’t wasted his kindness on Xiao’er since she could give such a good medicine to him.

Seeing him trust her so much, Xiao’er felt happy.

It was worth giving him a drop of Ashoka water.

“We should return to the Imperial Capital.

If anything happens, you know how to find me.” Shangguan Xuanyi stood up, gave Xiao’er a glance, and walked out.

Xiao’er nodded, “Remember to take the medicine.”

Mr.

and Mrs. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Shen Chengyao called out, “Safe journey, Young Master Shangguan.”

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded and walked out of the Shen Manor.

Since he entered, he hadn’t given anyone outside the third branch of the Shen family even a glance.

Xiao Fuzi blocked the two infatuated girls, “Ladies, don’t think about getting close to my master, or I won’t be polite!” Then he turned to Xiao’er’s family, “Mr.

Shen, Mrs.

Shen, Miss Xiao’er, I shall take my leave now!”

After Shangguan Xuanyi left, Xiao’er and Mrs.

Liu continued their unfinished work.

Today was Master Shen’s birthday.

In addition to their own family, they had also invited Master Shen’s elder brother, the village chief’s family for dinner.

They heard that the second son of the County Magistrate, who was engaged to Shen Bao’er would also come, so Master Shen instructed them to prepare plenty of food.

Mrs.

Lan and Mrs.

Li were crowded around Mrs.

Liu and Xiao’er asking about Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei.

The two only replied, “He is the one who bought our rag dolls to open a toy store.

We don’t know anything else.” They couldn’t get any more information out of the two after asking several times.

Shen Yuzhu went straight back to the main room and said to Mrs.

Shen, “Mother, I want the purple-clothed young man who just visited to be my husband!”

Mrs.

Shen, who always fulfilled her daughter’s wishes, agreed, “Alright.

I’ll investigate who he is.

From what I can see, he is barely worthy of my dear.”

Mr.

Shen chided upon hearing this, “Nonsense, that man obviously comes from a prestigious family, far beyond our reach!

I won’t allow our daughters to become someone’s concubines.”

“Where is Yuzhu not worthy of him?

My Yuzhu is beautiful like a flower, which prestigious family’s young master wouldn’t want to invite her into their home?

I wouldn’t even want those who aren’t from an established family.”

Master Shen shook his head, unwilling to waste his breath arguing.

Shen Bao’er returned to her room, comparing her fiancé to Shangguan Xuanyi.

The more she compared, the more inferior the County Magistrate’s second son seemed.

He was simply incomparable, not even to Shangguan’s finger.

She felt a bit regretful.

If only she had met him earlier.

But she was already engaged, what to do?

It seemed that Shen Yuzhu also took interest in Young Master Shangguan.

Was she trying to compete with her again?

Thinking about how Shen Yuzhu flirted with the County Magistrate’s second son at their engagement party last time, she became annoyed.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head and she let out a satisfied smile.
