Chapter 696: Chapter 696 Feeling Guilty Chapter 696: Chapter 696 Feeling Guilty “Doctor, look at the rash on my mother’s body,” Xuexue said with a beaming smile. “It has already healed. Does she still need to take medicine?”

“Take it, of course, she should take it.” The doctor remembered the purpose of this visit; he could not afford to return without fulfilling his duty.

Yesterday evening, he hadn’t stayed in the Couple’s Courtyard to accompany Lady Tang.

Lady Tang had already formed a considerable opinion of him, and he could not afford to mess this up; otherwise, how could he establish himself at the General’s Mansion in the future?

“But it has already healed, why does she need to take more medicine?” At that moment, Xuexue looked extremely naive, the epitome of a clueless country girl.

“It might seem healed on the surface, but who knows if the toxins inside have cleared away? She needs to drink two more prescribed doses to reinforce her health.”

“What? Doctor, did you say my mother has been poisoned?” As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Xuexue immediately jumped up, looking both shocked and alarmed as she asked.

The guilt-ridden doctor, his eyes flickering, regretted the truth that had slipped out of his mouth and wished he could bite off his own tongue. He quickly said, “Miss, no need to panic, every illness has its source.”

“But you just said my mother was poisoned, I heard it very clearly.”

“Skin poisoning is also a poison, but not the poison you think. Miss, do not panic, everything will be fine as long as we treat according to the symptoms.” At that moment, the doctor wished he could slap himself twice, as much as he claimed to be Wise Star, he wondered how he could be so careless with his words!

“Oh, so that’s what it is, you scared me to death!”

Fooling Xuexue, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Xie sat up from the bed.

Xuexue quickly stepped forward, picked up a soft pillow from the bedside, and placed it behind her waist to allow her to lean back comfortably.

Looking gently at Xuexue, Madam Xie smiled, “Mother has always said a little rest would do the trick; you all just like to make a big fuss out of nothing.”

“Mother, yesterday your face and body were covered in rashes, looking terribly scary. It nearly scared me to death, luckily the doctor had the healing touch, and after taking the medicine, the rashes subsided.”

“You always make a big fuss. Back in the village, didn’t people get rashes all the time? No one needed a doctor, and after ten or eight days, the rashes naturally healed themselves.” Having left Mo Family Village over a month ago, Madam Xie missed rural life, but she couldn’t bring herself to talk about it because she didn’t want to leave Xuexue.

Xuexue said, “Wasn’t the village not equipped? Now that we have better conditions and an available doctor, of course, we should get proper treatment.”

With a bright smile, the doctor said, “Madam Mo, the Young Miss is right, the General’s Mansion isn’t an ordinary home. If anyone in the household has any issues, naturally, we need a doctor to treat the symptoms.”

As he spoke, he extended his hand onto Madam Xie’s pulse, his expression focused, giving off an enigmatic vibe.

Xiao Taohong floated in front of him, turned her head toward Xuexue, and said, “Master, isn’t this man the proverbial hypocrite as the rumors say?”

Xuexue nodded and silently replied in her heart, “Also known as a wolf in human’s skin.”

Hearing this, Xiao Taohong giggled, “He is so sneaky, you should be careful, Master.”

“I like to hunt wolves, the kind where you tear off the skin and break the bones.”

“Too bloody.”

“Little girl, you will slowly realize that here in the General’s Mansion, without being bloody and ruthless, you simply cannot survive.” Xuexue’s tone was filled with sorrow.

In her previous life, she had been too naive, thinking that sincerity could be reciprocated with sincerity.

As a result, she faced a gruesome fate, dying not only a terrible death but also bringing harm to her young daughter.
