Su Yingxueâs cheeks were burning hot as she quickly walked back to the medicine hut.
Saint Ruan saw her flushed face and teased her, âOh? Did you go to warm yourself by the fire? You look like youâre about to catch fire!â
âOld man, shut up! Or Iâll pluck out your beard!â
Su Yingxue glared at him fiercely.
Saint Ruan chuckled, âYouâre all worked up now, like a rabbit ready to bite someone! But Iâm not the one who proposed to you, so if you want to bite, find the right person! Oh, by the way, the person inside is still waiting for you!â
âYouâre the rabbit!â
Su Yingxue retorted fiercely.
But the person insideâ¦
Su Yingxue remembered that today was the day to detoxify Zi Wei.
She quickly snatched the medicine from Saint Ruan and dashed inside.
Saint Ruan lounged back on the rattan chair, crossed his legs, and sighed softly, âAll, with so many admirers, can you settle it all in this lifetime?â
It seemed there were advantages to being alone!
Inside the medicine hut, Zi Wei lay on the hospital bed, visible poisonous gas emanating from his naked body.
Su Yingxue used silver needles to force the poison to a single point, then cut open his finger to release all the poisonous blood.
After drinking the medicine, Zi Weiâs body and complexion returned to normal.
Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, her expression easing, âThatâs great, Zi Wei. One more treatment and all the poison in your body will be cleared.â
There was no joy on Zi Weiâs face, and the purple hue at the corners of his eyes deepened.
Su Yingxue gently caressed his eyes, âWhatâs wrong? Arenât you happy? Once the poison is gone, youâll live a long life.â
Live a long life?
He didnât care.
There was no expression on Zi Weiâs cold face, âWill you⦠get married?â
Su Yingxueâs hand paused, âWhy are you suddenly asking about that?â
âWill you?â Zi Wei asked.
âOf course. I like the Ninth Prince. I want to marry him.â
When Su Yingxue mentioned Chu Yihan, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her eyes, painting a picturesque scene.
Zi Weiâs heart sank.
He gripped the knife, got off the bed, and left without a word.
âZi Wei, where are you going? Donât you want the candy anymore?â
Su Yingxue took out the candy packet from her belt, which she had been saving for him in case he refused to take the medicine.
But todayâ¦
Watching Zi Weiâs retreating figure, she couldnât shake the feeling that he wouldnât return.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu arrived.
Su Miaoyan couldnât contain her excitement, waiting eagerly at the front door.
She rushed to greet Xiao Yu, expecting him to acknowledge her as usual.
But Xiao Yu brushed past her with Xiao Siâs help, as if he hadnât seen her, leaving Su Miaoyan rooted to the spot.
Xiao Si noticed Su Miaoyan, âYoung Master, Miss Miaoyan is here to pick you up, right?â
âShut up!â
Xiao Yuâs face turned cold and stern, his handsome features pale, his demeanor even more grim.
âYoung Masterâ¦â
There was a hint of pity in Xiao Siâs eyes.
In all the years he had served him, he had never seen Young Master so happy to see anyone as he was with Su Miaoyan.
But unfortunately, the family head had ordered him to marry Su Yingxue.
âSighâ¦â
Xiao Si could only lament silently for his young master.
In the front hall, Su Qingzhi sat in the high seat, facing Xiao Yu. Both exuded an air of importance, making the spacious hall feel somewhat cramped.
Su Yingxue had to serve tea to the guests. Before entering, she saw Su Miaoyan lingering outside and pulled her in, âWhy arenât you going to see your handsome brother?â
