Chapter 436: Chapter 434: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 10_1

Ruan Ruanruan gazed at her actions, slightly taken aback, "Xiaxia, why are you taking my pulse? I feel very healthy!"

The slow-acting poison administered by Ruan Bailian needed to accumulate over time, so there wouldn’t be any noticeable ill effects for a while.

"Healthy my foot!" Xia Ningxing had finished taking the pulse and her face immediately turned grave.

Although she had been busy with business and acting lately, she hadn’t neglected her medical studies, and she seemed to have a natural talent for medicine, truly gifted in the field.

"Huh?" Hearing that, Ruan Ruanruan was startled, then seeing Xiaxia’s expression, her heart skipped a beat, "Xiaxia, what’s wrong with me? You must not tell me I have some incurable disease and don’t have long to live!"

"I haven’t even married your third brother, nor have I had babies with him, I, I..."

Ruan Ruanruan was on the verge of tears.

"Stop, stop! Listen to me!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t bear to listen to her ramblings and hastily interrupted, "You don’t have some incurable disease, you’ve been poisoned."

"Poisoned?" The word sent Ruan Ruanruan into a huge shock.

She quickly grabbed Xiaxia’s hand, her face filled with shock as she pressed, "Xiaxia, what kind of poison am I afflicted with?"

"A type of hormone poison," Xia Ningxing frowned and replied, "If left unchecked, you’ll become fat and swollen, your face covered with red, oozing pimples, and you might even end up with half of your face rotten, your mind will also become dull, and in the end, you will become demented!"

"That serious!?" On hearing this, Ruan Ruanruan collapsed onto the sofa, tears instantly welling up in her clear eyes.

She had always treated others with kindness, who could be so cruel as to poison her with such potency?

This was to ruin her!

Seeing that she still didn’t understand, Xia Ningxing sighed and said, "Are you a pig? Didn’t I warn you before to be careful of your sister? You told me you’d be on guard against her, didn’t you?"

"And then?"

As she spoke, Xia Ningxing suddenly realized something and added, "But you can’t be blamed for being foolish, after all, the poison is colorless and tasteless; you wouldn’t notice anything even if it’s in your mouth."

"My sister, how could she do such a thing..." Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help covering her face, crying inconsolably as if she understood everything at once, "And my mother, my sister and my mother always tell each other everything, she must have been an accomplice!"

Ruan Ruanruan might be a bit slow, but that didn’t mean she was outright dumb!

"I am their family! How could they do this to me?"

She frantically grabbed at her hair, weeping loudly, her voice filled with despair.

Even though she hadn’t felt much familial love since she was young, she had held them dear as family members, and now they were conspiring to end her life!

"Crying over these people isn’t worth it," Xia Ningxing walked over and embraced her.

Right!

Crying over such people isn’t worth it!

Ruan Ruanruan, holding back the sorrow in her heart, wiped away her tears, "Xiaxia, you’re right, it’s not worth it!"

Xia Ningxing patted her shoulder and then said, "Wait a bit, I’ll give you a few acupuncture treatments, then write you a prescription, and you’ll be fine."

"Xiaxia!" Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but hug her, her voice choked and blurry, "You really are the best, practically my savior!"

Xia Ningxing was amused by her words, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, she said, "Then call me ’Daddy’ and let me hear it!"

"Dad... my foot!" Ruan Ruanruan, with eyes red from crying, couldn’t help but glare at her, "I’m about to become your senior, so mind your manners!"

Xia Ningxing hurriedly nodded her head, "Yes, yes, third sister-in-law is right, I should respect the old and love the young!"

"Who’s old!" Ruan Ruanruan’s rabbit-like eyes glared at her again.

Seeing that she was not as sad as before, Xia Ningxing smiled and then picked up the paper and pen to start writing the prescription.

"This is the prescription, and you don’t have to worry about them continuing to harm you. I’ve added some immune components to this medicine, so even if you consume this poison again, you’ll be fine."

There were still a couple of months until the wedding. During this time, Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Bailian would definitely not let Ruan Ruanruan leave the Ruan Family early, and they would keep poisoning her.

"Xiaxia, you really are my lifesaver!" Ruan Ruanruan took the prescription, moved beyond words.

Xia Ningxing patted her shoulder, and then, as if she had thought of something, looked up into her eyes, "Ruanruan, do you want revenge? Do you want to give them a taste of their own medicine?"

"I..."

Ruan Ruanruan opened her mouth, hesitating.

She instinctively did not want to harm others, but when she thought about her own sister and mother actually conspiring to give her such a deadly poison, Ruan Ruanruan’s heart burned with fire.

If it weren’t for Xiaxia’s timely discovery and rescue, she would have ended up ugly, fat, and demented!

Demented!

Just thinking about such an outcome made Ruan Ruanruan’s eyes turn red, and she gnashed her teeth with hatred, "Xiaxia, I want revenge!"

"But I don’t know how to do it," Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Xia Ningxing had already thought it through and immediately reassured her, "Don’t worry, leave it to me. Your nature isn’t suited for schemes and cunning, if you tried to do it, you’d probably get caught before you could even start."

So, Xia Ningxing planned to take matters into her own hands and teach the mother and daughter a lesson.

"You really get me, Xiaxia." Ruan Ruanruan had to admit, she really couldn’t handle these things, and now, moved, she hugged Xia Ningxing, "Xiaxia, you’ve helped me time and again, I really don’t know how I could ever repay you."

"If you really want to repay me, after you marry my third brother, you should quickly have a baby for him," Xia Ningxing said.

Ruan Ruanruan’s cheeks turned red, then she suddenly remembered something, "Right, Xiaxia, could you not do anything to Qian Aihua, my mom?"

Ruan Ruanruan had to muster all her strength to call out the word "mom."

From the moment she knew about her collusion with Ruan Bailian, she no longer considered her as her own mother.

But...

"After all, she is the woman who gave me life. I’ll let her off this time, as repayment for her having given birth to me. From now on, I will no longer owe her anything!" Ruan Ruanruan said with a look of determination.

From then on, she would sever ties with Mrs. Ruan!

"As you wish." Xia Ningxing nodded her head.

In fact, whether or not to poison Mrs. Ruan wasn’t important because as long as her precious daughter Ruan Bailian was affected, Mrs. Ruan would likely suffer a million times more agony than from any poison!

"That settles it, then. Xiaxia, I’ll head out now, I won’t keep you from your busy work," Ruan Ruanruan wiped the tears from her face and said with a forced smile.

"Go ahead, make sure you adjust your mindset, and work hard on the script. I’m looking forward to adapting it into our next drama!" Xia Ningxing encouraged.
