Chapter 803: Chapter 803 White Octopus Powder_1

However, his lord had said that they should listen to everything Lin Caisang said and do exactly as she instructed, no matter what it was.

He naturally couldn’t contradict her.

"But, Miss, it’s time for our young master to have his meal," he reminded her.

"What meal? He can eat later. What’s the big deal if he starves for a meal or two? Especially since we’re treating poison here—why does it matter if he goes hungry for a meal or two?" Lin Caisang glared at Steward Xin as she retorted.

"What’s more important, detoxification or having three meals a day?"

"Uh, naturally detoxification is more important, much more important," Steward Xin replied sheepishly.

But eating is also important, isn’t it? Missing a few meals could starve a person to death! However, their young master would only be missing a couple of meals at most—it shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, this was approved by his lord, wasn’t it?

"After soaking for ten hours, prepare some thin porridge for him. For the next few days, he mustn’t touch anything greasy. Just drink plain porridge every day. If he finds it hard to swallow, he can have a bit of pickles or something, but absolutely no oil!" Lin Caisang thought for a moment, then added.

Getting fat as two pigs, indulging daily in rich delicacies—even with this lifestyle, does Suyang really expect his son to carry on the Su Family’s legacy?

Don’t those imperial physicians have a conscience? Haven’t they told Suyang that even if Suri wasn’t poisoned, expecting to have a son or daughter in his lifetime would be very difficult?

"Yes, I understand," Steward Xin responded.

"Hmm."

Seeing that he took her words to heart, Lin Caisang finally nodded.

"You stay here and watch over him. When the time comes, get him out, bathe him, and so on. I’ll be heading back first. Ziyou, let’s go."

With that, she took Sui Ziyou and left.

"Miss... Miss..."

Steward Xin watched them go, unable to find the words to ask them to stay.

Leaving just like that, doesn’t a doctor need to continuously monitor the patient’s condition? Was it really that simple—to just get the patient out when it’s time?

...

"Sister-in-law, what exactly did you give to Suri?" Inside the pasture space, Sui Ziyou finally couldn’t hold back and asked Lin Caisang.

The method of detoxification was truly frightening. For the entire day, all Sui Ziyou could hear was Suri screaming, threatening the servants at one moment and begging Suyang for mercy the next.

She felt that it was fortunate Suri’s throat hadn’t been torn apart from his own yelling.

"A detoxifying elixir," Lin Caisang said as she stroked the White Fox in her arms.

"Detoxifying elixir?" Sui Ziyou echoed her words.

She had her doubts, though. To her, it seemed more like a poison hastening Suri’s demise than any kind of cure, given how terribly it affected him.

"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, did you add poison to that medicinal bath?" she asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Caisang glanced at her with annoyance.

"I’m on a mission. If I really added poison, would the Golden Pearl Order let me off? Besides, how could I commit such an atrocious act that would harm the heavens and reason? I am quite gentle and merciful."

Sui Ziyou: "..."

Right, she certainly knew her sister-in-law was gentle and merciful, but that depended on whom she was dealing with.

Would her sister-in-law be merciful to a scoundrel like Suri?

"I just added a tiny bit of something called White Octopus Powder," Lin Caisang said, breaking the silence without Sui Ziyou’s response.

"White Octopus Powder? What’s that?" Sui Ziyou inquired.
