The poison had a purplish hue, looking ominous, not to mention the shuddering taste when consumed.
But… Su Yingxue thought about how Chu Yihan described Saint Ruan. The older he got, the more he relied on poisons.
This deadly plague was a contagious poison. If he used poison to counteract it, it might just kill the plague.
Yet, she couldn’t be certain of the potency of this concoction.
Manager Qi looked at the poison she had concocted and trembled. “Miss, are you really going to fight poison with poison?”
Su Yingxue looked at the bowl of poison that she had concocted and smiled bitterly. “Do you have a better idea?”
“Well… Why don’t we let the doctor in the clinic study it for a few more days? With Ninth Prince outside as our guarantor, Miss doesn’t have to be so anxious!” Although Manager Qi didn’t explicitly say that he didn’t explicitly express doubt about Su Yingxue, he was deeply concerned about the toxicity of the medicine.
It would be great if it could be cured, but if it couldn’t…
“You don’t have to worry. I won’t let you test the medicine.”
Su Yingxue reassured him with a smile, her mind already calculating the possibilities as she looked at the antidote she had prepared.
Manager Qi saw her calm expression and thought, “Lai San is already on the brink of death, so letting him try the medicine wouldn’t hurt. If Miss decides so, I’ll bring this medicine to him.”
Su Yingxue didn’t answer him. Instead, she personally carried the medicine to Lai San’s treatment room.
As a beggar, he had never seen much of the world. Su Yingxue was as beautiful as a fairy and had taken care of him for so long. Every time she came, Lai San felt like he had seen the hope of life.
His filthy face broke into a smile. “Fairy… Fairy.”
However, when he saw that the medicine in Su Yingxue’s hand was purple-black in color and had a very strong smell, the fear of death made him subconsciously shrink back into the bed. “It’s poisonous! This medicine was poisonous! What are you doing! 1 don’t want to die!”
“Of course, you don’t want to die. Who in this world wants to die?” Su Yingxue didn’t tell Manager Qi the truth. Manager Qi had always hated Lai San for putting them in this predicament and didn’t treat him well.
Lai San was so scared that he curled up in the corner of the bed and cried, “I was wrong. I won’t be greedy anymore! 1 want to live! 1 want to live!”
Su Yingxue hadn’t questioned Lai San for the past few days. Firstly, because his condition was critical, and secondly, because he was an inconspicuous beggar who likely wouldn’t have anything valuable to say.
However, since he had said it, Su Yingxue couldn’t help but ask, “Did someone give you money to come to my clinic?”
“Yes, yes! It’s a lot of silver coins!” Lai San’s eyes gleamed. He had taken two stacks of silver coins and there was another stack hidden in a soil jar under a tree outside the city!
He originally thought that after finishing this task, he could go back and enjoy a few hearty meals!
Little did he know that as soon as he entered this clinic, he almost died here!
“Who gave you the money? Who is trying to harm the clinic?” Manager Qi was so agitated that he wanted to beat Lai San up.
“No… I don’t know.” Lai San’s eyes were vacant, and his language was limited. All he could say was that the person who gave him the money seemed like a respectable wealthy individual.
Such people were abundant in Jiang Du City!
Manager Qi was confused, but Su Yingxue had long understood.
She came over to check on Lai San’s condition. Seeing that Lai San was so terrified, she comforted him, “Don’t worry, 1 won’t let you drink this medicine. I’ll only use it to treat you if it proves effective after testing.”
“Miss, if you don’t let him test the medicine, who do you want to test the medicine with?” Manager Qi’s heart skipped a beat..
