Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 27 - Cold Poison (1)

Xi Qian was caught off guard when an unknown man picked up her best friend from the ground and rushed inside the pharmacy.

"Wait! What are you going to do with Feifei?! Give her back! We need to rush her to the hospital!" She exclaimed, but Yun Xiang didn't stop in his tracks and ignored her.

"Han Zijun! You better come out here and help us!" He called out while Master Ouyang asked one of the staff to close the doors of the pharmacy, forbidding other people to see what was happening inside the premises.

Yun Xiang looked down at the young woman in his arms, seeing that she was struggling to keep her consciousness despite her condition. Her face was ashen pale, even her lips had lost their natural color. He heard her hissed in pain, but she couldn't muster the strength to say a word at all.

The man who was called Han Zijun stepped out of the room labelled 'For Authorized Personnel Only'. This man was only in his late twenties, but it seemed like he was the owner of this shop.

"Master Ouyang? Young Master Yun? Did you forget something?"

However, as soon as his eyes landed on Su Xiaofei, his eyes widened in understanding.

"Hurry and take her inside. I need to see how bad her injury is!" He said, allowing Yun Xiang to enter the room he just exited. Master Ouyang and Xi Qian immediately followed after them. A partition was then placed, preventing anyone to see what was happening behind it.

"Miss, please stay here and allow Master Han to treat your friend's injury." A woman came and convinced Xi Qian to sit down first. She then assured her that Han Zijun was a doctor of traditional medicine and one of the best in the country.

Xi Qian couldn't utter a word and wept in silence. One moment, Su Xiaofei was smiling at her, telling her to hurry, then the next thing she knew, her best friend was bleeding on the ground. Why was it that whenever she was with Su Xiaofei, there's always something bad happening to her friend?

Xi Qian didn't want to think that her stepmother's words to her in the past were true. Her stepmother once told her that she was the jinx in their family, and she would bring trouble to those around her.

When Su Xiaofei heard about this and her troubles, she only sneered in annoyance and said that Xi Qian's wicked stepmother was just trying to isolate her from everyone, so she would only be dependent on them.

'Feifei, please be okay.' Xi Qian clasped her hands together and prayed intently in her heart.

The room was big enough to accept guests and VIP patients. Yun Xiang laid Su Xiaofei on the bed, while Han Zijun went to her side, checked her pulse before slightly lifting her shirt to reveal a clean cut on her left side.

Yun Xiang was startled to see the wound, while Master Ouyang's face darkened upon seeing it. The wound obviously wasn't normal, as there was a hint of darkening on Su Xiaofei's flesh. Thankfully, the cut wasn't deep, but if left untreated for too long, Su Xiaofei's life would be in danger.

Han Zijun already summoned his assistant and told her to list down the herbs he needed as soon as possible. He then started to clean the wound and use acupuncture to stop the poison from spreading throughout her body.

When his assistant came back, he immediately forced most of the poison out of Su Xiaofei's body through the same wound.

"The girl indirectly saved Master Ouyang's life." He murmured next to Yun Xiang once he was done with the treatment. "Thankfully, the wound isn't deep, and we can detoxify the poison that was left on it. What were you doing, leaving Master Ouyang on his own?"

Yun Xiang's jaws hardened. He hadn't anticipated that something like this would happen. When the Ouyang family asked for his help to look after their elder, he hadn't thought that someone would be brave enough to attack Master Ouyang in broad daylight.

If it wasn't for this young woman, the person who would have been stabbed was Master Ouyang. Of course, Yun Xiang was aware of Master Ouyang's condition. If he had been the one being stabbed today, even if it was just a shallow wound, his heart wouldn't be able to resist the poison, and it would kill him.

"How is she?" Master Ouyang finally spoke once Su Xiaofei's condition had been stabilized.

"Her life is out of danger now. I have stitched up her wound, but I expect her to run a fever tonight due to the amount of cold poison still left on her body, but don't worry. With oral medication, it would be flushed out of her system in three days." Han Zijun explained to the old man.

Master Ouyang remained silent, but it was clear that he was bothered by Su Xiaofei's condition. He was able to leave unscathed because of this young woman in front of him. Based on her looks, she might still be a teenager on the cusp of adulthood.

If she lost her life today, Ouyang Luo wouldn't be able to bear the guilt, knowing a young woman had lost her future because of him.

If the attacker came to him just as he was planning to look at the nearby stall, the old man wasn't certain that he would be able to see the next sunrise again.

"This child's medicine… Xiao Zijun, put it under my tab. Give her everything she needs."

"As you wish, Master Ouyang." Han Zijun replied before excusing himself to cook the herbs that Su Xiaofei needed.

After two hours of waiting, Xi Qian was allowed to see her best friend.. She took a seat next to the bed and sighed in relief when she saw that some color had returned to Su Xiaofei's face.
