Long Shuli advised him to go back and take a look at that woman, so he wouldnât live with regrets.
He resented her inwardly, thinking, âEven if 1 return to see her, 1â11 only go to poison her to death!â
However, he was unable to develop the Intoxicating Fragrance because the woman died faster than he had imagined.
The last time he laid eyes on her, she was emaciated and extremely unattractive.
There was no lack of his revenge on her. However, when she saw his young and handsome face, her first words remained, âI have no regrets.â
They were childhood friends. He had doted on her for over a decade, but upon his return from a few years away, she had married someone else. How could he forgive her for abandoning their relationship so easily? Such a breach of trust. Yet, her death left him feeling hollow.
On the day he parted ways with Long Shuli, Shuli asked, âIs the Intoxicating Fragrance still being developed?â
He shook his head.
There was no need.
Little did he know, that stubborn Shuli had completed it.
During the detoxification process, he discovered a medication among Long Shuliâs remedies called Unforgettable.
âRemember the good times.â
Now, he finally understood Long Shuliâs intentions.
âAre you and my mother best friends?â Su Yingxue found her motherâs interactions with people beyond the comprehension of ordinary folk.
âI admire her.â
For once, Saint Ruanâs face carried a hint of seriousness.
âIf thatâs the case, her daughter has come seeking your help. Will you assist?â Su Yingxueâs sly eyes gleamed with cunning.
Saint Ruan stowed away his vials and jars, proudly snorting, âHavenât you already bested me with poison? What need do you have for my help now?â
âThat was because of my mother,â Su Yingxue confessed openly.
âThen, what favor do you seek?â Saint Ruan bent, shifting to a rattan chair, leisurely crossing his legs and reclining.
âMy father was poisoned.â Su Yingxueâs countenance turned solemn.
Saint Ruan raised an intrigued eyebrow.
Su Yingxue described Su Dinghengâs symptoms to Saint Ruan, asking, âIs there a poison undetectable by pulse-taking? It seems the tumor in his body is expanding. What medicine can eliminate it?â
Saint Ruan didnât immediately reply. He seemed deeply engrossed in thought. Even after she called him several times, he didnât respond.
Eventually, he narrowed his eyes, the wrinkles on his eyelids hiding his gaze. âYou say the pulse canât be detected, and thereâs something undetermined inside his body?â
âYes.â This was the headache-inducing aspect for Su Yingxue.
Saint Ruanâs eyes lit up, suddenly turning to her. âDid your mother leave behind any modern medical records?â
âModern medicine?â Surprise flashed across Su Yingxueâs eyes. âHow did you know?â
âHa! Crafty girl!â
Saint Ruanâs aged frame whisked into his room like a gust of wind. With a thud, he shut the door. Two hours later, the young man in a red robe emerged, holding a fan.
His captivating eyes were entrancing, that belt embroidered with shameful patterns still on his waist.
Su Yingxue was taken aback. âDid you poison yourself again?â
Saint Ruanâs mouth twitched. âControl yourself. Donât be charmed by me.â
Su Yingxue was left speechless.
Her tastes werenât that extreme!
On the way to the Marquisâs Manor, Su Yingxue told Saint Ruan that there were indeed a few modern medical books in the medical books her mother left behind. However, these medical books were far from their medical skills, especially when it came to performing surgery..
