Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Fourth Master is unlikely to take my life
Gu Siting turned his head to look at the room and saw that Ming Yao’s arm had been slashed; his expression immediately changed.
He strode over and pushed Mother Mu away, “What are you doing?”
Gu Siting’s jaw was tightly clenched, and his eyes were covered with a layer of threatening cold frost, his entire body exuding a chill that made people shiver without feeling cold.
Mother Mu was so intimidated by Gu Siting’s aura that she hung her head and was too frightened to utter another word.
Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao with deep, dark eyes, “Don’t worry, no one will hurt you again, you rest assured to treat Chengjin!”
Being gazed at with such a profound and trusting look, an unusual surge of emotion welled up in Ming Yao’s chest.
No wonder Tyrant Gu, despite his not-so-great temper, was still swarmed by a bevy of women.
Sometimes, he truly was charming.
“Young Master Mu will be fine, as long as…”
Ming Yao hadn’t finished speaking when Mu Chengjin suddenly woke up on the bed.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he began to cough violently.
The cough was so severe it seemed as though his internal organs might shift out of place.
Mother Mu was desperately anxious, “Chengjin, Chengjin!”
Zhou Zhiyan quickly entered the room and, seeing Mu Chengjin continuously coughing, frowned, “Gu Fuzhen, are you trying to kill Chengjin? By preventing him from getting treatment at the hospital and making him cough like this, do you have any idea what the consequences could be?”
“Are you joking with Chengjin’s life just to show off your ability and leave a good impression on Fourth Master?”
The other doctors nodded in agreement, “What does a maid know about medicine? Sun Simiao had it right when he said, ‘There are fools in this world who study medicine for three years and then claim there are no illnesses they cannot cure!'”
“Besides, this little maid hasn’t studied medicine for three years, has she?”
Mu Chengjin on the bed was coughing more and more fiercely, even Gu Siting was starting to worry.
He looked at Ming Yao with a dark gaze and said in a low voice, “If anything happens to Chengjin because of your treatment, I will take your life!”
Ming Yao smiled softly, “Fourth Master is probably not going to be able to take my life.”
As her words fell, Mu Chengjin suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He collapsed back onto the bed again.
“Ah! Chengjin——” Mother Mu cried out in heart-wrenching agony.
“Zhiyan, save my Chengjin quickly!”
Zhou Zhiyan hurried to the bedside while Mother Mu, no longer caring about Gu Siting’s authority, forcefully pushed Ming Yao away.
Zhou Zhiyan checked Mu Chengjin’s pupils and took out medicine from her pocket, feeding him a pill.
After a moment, Mu Chengjin slowly regained consciousness.
On seeing his mother by the bed, crying a river of tears, he called out with a hoarse voice, “Mom.”
On seeing Mu Chengjin awake, Mother Mu thought she was seeing things. She wiped her tears and said joyfully, “Chengjin, you’re awake?”
Mu Chengjin nodded.
“Doctor Zhou, Chengjin is awake!”
Zhou Zhiyan too was taken aback; she had only given Mu Chengjin some cough-relieving medicine and had not expected him to wake up, and his pale complexion seemed to have regained some color.
Moreover, after waking up, he wasn’t coughing non-stop anymore; it was as if he had taken a stroll through Ghost Gate and come back to life.
Zhou Zhiyan looked at Ming Yao, her brows furrowed, pondering.
This ordinary little maid, does she really know medicine?
No, no, no, she must have accidentally saved Mu Chengjin, right?
The other doctors and nurses saw Mu Chengjin’s complexion improving and all slightly widened their eyes in surprise.
Father Mu and Mother Mu didn’t think it was Ming Yao who had cured Mu Chengjin; they only thanked Zhou Zhiyan.
Mu Chengjin furrowed his brows, “What does she have to do with it? It was Gu Fuzhen who gave me the acupuncture, making me spit out the congestion, that helped me catch my breath.”
“What does a little maid know? The medicine she gave you almost killed you!” Father Mu said indignantly.
Mu Chengjin sat up from the bed, his usually gentle eyes piercing as he looked at Father Mu, “Don’t you know exactly how I came to fall ill?”
