Chapter 199: Poisoned

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Poisoned

Bai Yurou hurriedly walked up and arrived at Uncle Wang’s side.

"Uncle Wang, what happened? What’s going on?"

Uncle Wang was anxious, "Fourth Miss, my sister suddenly started foaming at the mouth, and the family doctor is at a loss. I was hoping to ask the eldest..."

Before Uncle Wang could finish, Bai Yurou quickly said, "Let me take a look."

Without waiting for Uncle Wang’s response, Bai Yurou ran off as if she were very worried about Aunt Wang.

Uncle Wang followed Bai Yurou, took a couple of steps, then turned back and pleaded with a begging look, "Eldest Miss, could you please also come along?"

Nan Qiao nodded, "I’ll go grab my silver needle and be right over."

"Ah, Eldest Miss, thank you, thank you so much."

Nan Qiao went back to get her tools, and the others went with Uncle Wang to see what was happening.

Bai Yurou picked up the stethoscope and seriously asked, "Uncle Wang, what did Aunt Wang eat today?"

"She drank a bowl of mushroom soup this morning and ate two steamed buns, nothing else. She’s been busy in the garden all day, definitely hasn’t eaten anything else."

Aunt Wang was in charge of pruning, fertilizing, and watering the flowers and trees in the garden and wouldn’t eat when busy; she had no time for that.

Still holding the stethoscope, Bai Yurou told Uncle Wang, "I’ll prepare some medicine for Aunt Wang and give it to her in a moment."

Uncle Wang nodded continuously, tears swirling in his eyes, "Ah, thank you, Fourth Miss, thank you."

"Uncle Wang, you don’t need to be so polite." Bai Yurou put the stethoscope back in the box.

Bai Yurou then took out pills, pouring two from each of three different bottles.

"Uncle Wang, I have medicine here. Let’s feed it to Aunt Wang now."

Uncle Wang looked at the pills and weakly asked, "Shouldn’t we take her to the hospital?"

"No, she’ll recover after taking the medicine. Uncle Wang, would I lie to you? Human life is paramount, I certainly wouldn’t deceive anyone."

Uncle Wang took the medicine, not daring to think further, and prepared to give it to Aunt Wang.

At that moment, Nan Qiao walked in with her medical kit.

"Aunt Wang hasn’t woken up yet, and we’re feeding her the medicine like this?"

Bai Yurou looked up and said with a smile, "Sister, if we don’t give Aunt Wang the medicine now, the situation could worsen, and the consequences would be unthinkable."

Uncle Wang: "Eldest Miss, you’ve arrived."

Uncle Wang was somewhat excited as everyone spoke of the Eldest Miss as a miracle worker in medicine. Perhaps the Eldest Miss had a better solution.

If not, they would feed Aunt Wang the medicine later.

Nan Qiao approached, placed her medical bag aside, and reached out to take Aunt Wang’s pulse.

She then dissolved a gray pill in water, helped Aunt Wang sit up, and had her drink the water.

Bai Yurou had never seen such a pill and asked, "Sister, what medicine is this?"

Nan Qiao: "It’s a pill I made. It’s not available on the market, which is why you haven’t seen it."

Bai Yurou: "..."

"Is it safe?" Bai Yurou asked.

Nan Qiao: "Would I give something unsafe to Aunt Wang?"

Nan Qiao added, "Aunt Wang has been poisoned."

"What!" Everyone exclaimed.

How could she be poisoned just like that?

Bai Yurou asked, "Poisoned? But they ate the same food. Why is it that only she was poisoned?"

Another servant said, "I ate the same thing as Aunt Wang, and I didn’t eat anything else either."

Nan Qiao: "Is there a Ye Mu Tree in the garden? The scent of that tree conflicts with an ingredient in the perfume Aunt Wang used today."

Bai Yurou was nervous; she had not expected Nan Qiao to uncover even this.

Had Nan Qiao’s medical skills reached such a transcendent level?

Nan Qiao continued, "I’ve seen Aunt Wang before, and she doesn’t like to use perfume. Why did she use it today? Did she buy it herself, or did someone give it to her? Uncle Wang, investigate this matter immediately. Is someone deliberately after your sister’s life?"

Uncle Wang was chilled to the bone!

"Thank you, Eldest Miss, I will investigate this thoroughly!"

These people actually wanted to harm his sister; he would definitely catch the perpetrator!

Bai Yurou was restless and began to feel afraid.

"Here, take this bottle of medicine and give it to Aunt Wang, three times a day, one pill each time, and have her drink plenty of water."

"Alright, thank you, Eldest Miss. How much does it all cost? I will transfer the money to you right now," Uncle Wang said, overflowing with gratitude.

Nan Qiao helped treat her and provided medicine; he should rightly pay for the medical expenses.

"No need, Aunt Wang was poisoned at our Bai Family’s place; it’s only right that our Bai Family helps with the treatment." If it were to lead to a fatality, the impact on the Bai Family would be significant.

The elders in the Bai Family felt that Nan Qiao acted very appropriately and did the right thing.

If Aunt Wang were to die at the Bai Family’s, and it got out, the repercussions would be too great—even the stock might plummet, which is not something they wanted to see happen.

Chen Xinwan promptly said, "Let’s take Aunt Wang to the hospital for a checkup to be absolutely sure. All expenses will be borne by our Bai Family."

Uncle Wang was deeply grateful; the Bai Family’s medical facilities were beyond reproach.

"Thank you, madam, thank you, Eldest Miss. Please don’t bother about the medical fees, the Eldest Miss saved my sister, and I will pay that money. Madam, thank you."

Bai Zhenyang: "Housekeeper Wang, how could we let you pay? We, the Bai Family, will take care of it. Hurry and drive her to the hospital, and remember, it must be discreet."

Housekeeper Wang nodded, "Sir, I understand, I understand it all."

The bodyguard carried Aunt Wang, and Housekeeper Wang followed out.

With the situation resolved, a sigh of relief was breathed by everyone.

Bai Jingting, having witnessed it all, also knew that Nan Qiao’s medical skills were incomparable.

"Little sister, you’ve worked hard," Bai Jingting genuinely thanked her.

Nan Qiao was truly a blessing to the Bai Family; she had done a great favor for the family.

"Big brother, these are all things I should be doing. Luckily, Aunt Wang is fine. I suggest you promptly send someone to investigate; what exactly happened, and why someone would want Aunt Wang’s life. Whether it was targeted at Aunt Wang or aimed at our Bai Family."

Bai Zhenyang also said, "Qiaoqiao is right, Jingting, you must quickly investigate."

Bai Jingting: "I’ve already sent a message to the head of the bodyguards; he will investigate this matter."

Bai Yurou’s heart was like a tiny boat on the stormy sea, battered relentlessly and on the verge of capsizing.

If it were found out, she’d be done for!

Nan Qiao noticed Bai Yurou’s complexion was off, "Yurou, what’s the matter? You seem very scared, what are you afraid of?"

Nan Qiao’s face drew closer to Bai Yurou, scrutinizing her facial expressions.

Nan Qiao’s eyes had the ability to penetrate one’s soul, which made Bai Yurou’s heart tremble.

"Sister, you’re mistaken, I’m not scared, I feel inadequate. I never expected that without attending Medical College, my sister would have such exquisite medical skills, which I greatly admire."

Nan Qiao gave a slight smile, her bright eyes continuing to focus on her, "Really?"

"Yes, every word is true; sister, you’re amazing, even more skilled than our teachers."

Nan Qiao looked at her with a soft laugh, silently remarked, "You’re quite the actress."

Bai Yurou: "!!"
