Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 313
Chapter 313 Future Son-In-Law
The sky gradually darkened. Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu had been accompanying Yun Xiao the entire time. Even Brother Han ran over to visit after hearing about it.
As time passed, Yun Xiao still did not have the intention to wake up. Yun Maozhe, Madam Lu and the others became more and more anxious.
Yun Maozhe even directly ordered Steward Li to inquire about Rong Jin’s whereabouts. Since Rong Jin could suppress him, he only hoped that Rong Jin would come to help. According to Chun Lan, it seemed that Yun Xiao’s illness was getting more and more severe.
After resting for a few hours, Qing Mo recovered a little. However, his body was still very weak, and the strength in his body had only recovered by 50%.
The few of them guarded Yun Xiao together with anxious expressions.
The night fell. The lights were turned on in the room. Brother Han could only go forward and console her, “Daddy and Mother, you guys have been guarding this place all day. Even if you have to continue waiting, you have to eat dinner first. Otherwise, fourth sister will wake up and you will fall ill. When the time comes, fourth sister will be the one to feel heartache for you.”
However, how could Madam Lu eat dinner at this time? Shaking his head, he said, “No need, Brother Han. You and your father can go eat some first. I’ll wait for your fourth sister to wake up.”
Since Madam Lu didn’t leave, the others naturally didn’t want to leave either.
At this moment, Yun Xiao, who had been sleeping on the bed, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the curtains on the top of the bed with a confused expression.
Madam Lu had been staring at Yun Xiao. Seeing Yun Xiao’s movements, she immediately rushed over and said nervously, “Xiao Xiao, you’re finally awake.”
Yun Maozhe and Brother Han also ran over anxiously. Seeing that Yun Xiao was really awake, they heaved a sigh of relief.
When Yun Xiao heard the call, she blinked her eyes. She turned around and saw a familiar person. Only then did she know that she had returned to the Cloud Manor’s own Rose Courtyard. Seeing that she was still lying on the bed, and then looking at Qing Mo who was pale, she knew that it was the poison in her body that had poisoned her again.
She didn’t know why the poison had erupted so badly, and it had actually erupted within a few days of the previous one.
However, although his body was still weak, he felt much better. He chuckled and said, “Mom and Dad, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s voice, Madam Lu unconsciously shed two wipes of tears from her eyes. She wiped them off with a handkerchief and said, “Xiao Xiao, you’re scared to death, mother.”
“Fourth sister, you’re finally fine. If you don’t wake up, I’m afraid your parents won’t sleep tonight.”
Only then did Yun Xiao notice that the sky had already turned completely dark. She looked at Lu shi and the others with reproach, “Dad and Mom, did you guys not eat dinner again? Brother Han, why don’t you hurry up and bring your father and mother to dinner?”
“Alright,” Brother Han agreed swiftly and turned to look, “Daddy, mother, fourth sister has spoken. You should leave now, right?”
Madam Lu didn’t dare to leave now. She shook her head and said, “No need, we need to stay here with your fourth sister.” Now that Yunxiao’s condition hasn’t stabilized, Madam Lu didn’t dare to leave.
Yun Maozhe had the same thought as Madam Lu, “I asked Steward Li to call another doctor to treat your fourth sister first.”
When Brother Han saw this, he helplessly looked at Yun Xiao and coughed softly before saying, “Fourth sister, there’s nothing I can do.”
Yun Xiao smiled weakly. The smile at the corner of her mouth was somewhat far-fetched. “Since Daddy and Mother are willing to stay, then take them with you. Let the kitchen bring the food in first.” Yun Xiao did not know why, but now, even just saying these few words made her gasp for breath. She was even more doubtful in her heart. Was it because her body was not good?
She remembered that when she was unconscious, her expression seemed a little unnatural. Moreover, the pain she felt was too familiar. It was actually the poison in her body that broke out?
Yun Maozhe naturally saw Yun Xiao’s forced smile and sighed, “Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. Doctor Wang came to see you just now and said that your body is fine. You just need to take good care of yourself.”
How could Yun Xiao not see that Yun Maozhe was comforting her? He smiled weakly and said, “I know.”
Because of Madam Lu’s instructions, the kitchen Li had been warming Yun Xiao’s meals. Hearing that Yun Xiao had woken up, Chun Lan immediately walked in with a bowl of coix rice jujube porridge. “Young lady, eat something first. You can use medicine later. Otherwise, it’s not good for your body. This porridge has been cooked for several hours, but it’s sweet. Young lady, hurry up and taste it.”
Yun Xiao graciously said. How could she not tell that this porridge had been cooked for a long time?
Yun Xiao tasted it, and it melted into her mouth. It felt good. She smiled and said, “Today’s porridge is not bad.” After eating five or six mouthfuls of it, she waved her hand to show that she couldn’t eat it anymore. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to eat it, but after eating it, she felt her stomach turn upside down. She wished she could immediately spit it out.
So she didn’t dare to eat too much.
Madam Lu felt even more distressed when she saw Yun Xiao suddenly weaken into this state. She walked forward and whispered, “Xiao Xiao, eat some more. Otherwise, Mother won’t be at ease with your current state. It’s good for your health to eat more.” This time, just by looking at Yun Xiao’s bloodless face, she knew that her illness had caused a severe loss.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao said, He could only take a few more bites, This time, no matter how Madam Lu tried to persuade her, Yunxiao did not continue to eat. Coincidentally, Chun Mei came in with the cooked soup. Madam Lu sat down beside the bed and looked at Yunxiao kindly. However, there was unconcealable worry in her glittering eyes. “Xiaoxiao, this medicine is for nourishing blood and qi. Drink quickly. The temperature is just right for you to take a sip.”
Yun Xiao’s face was somewhat pale. Finally, she sighed. Actually, she was very afraid of taking the medicine. But now that the medicine had been cooked, and Yun Xiao also knew that it was impossible for her body not to take the medicine, she nodded. She wanted to reach out to bring the medicine bowl, but with such a simple movement, it was very difficult for Yun Xiao to sit up.
Madam Lu’s expression became even more embarrassed when she saw this. If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want Yun Xiao to be worried, she would probably be crying.
Madam Lu took the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon and said, “Mother will feed you.”
Yun Xiao was annoyed that she was so disappointing, but she still didn’t say anything at this moment and could only nod her head.
When Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu saw that Yun Xiao had finally taken the medicine, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Xiao Qiang calmly said, “Daddy, mother, I’m fine now. You don’t have to worry anymore, just cultivate for a while longer.” If Rong Jin was here, relying on Rong Jin’s medical skills and medicine, she should be able to recover as quickly as possible. But now, that person was not in the capital, so it was useless to think about it.
Yun Maozhe snorted coldly and sat beside Yun Xiao with a slightly unfriendly expression. “Xiao Xiao, tell me honestly this time, why do you have such a domineering poison on your body? Also, is the poison on your body caused by the bag on your wrist?” From head to toe, Yun Xiao only had a bag on her wrist, so Yun Maozhe had no choice but to be suspicious.
Therefore, Yun Maozhe almost asked the doctor to deal with the bag.
However, Yun Xiao shook her head. Seeing the harsh look in Yun Maozhe’s eyes, she immediately said. She was afraid that if she took a step later, Yun Maozhe would have stabbed the bag with a dagger. “Daddy, no, this bag is for saving lives. If it wasn’t for her, I would have died long ago.”
This life-saving person caused everyone in the room to be a little shocked. Madam Lu anxiously sized up Yun Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, what exactly is going on? Don’t scare Mother.”
Yun Xiao smiled faintly, “I didn’t scare Mother, but this poison isn’t incurable. Rong Jin is preparing medicine for me. After getting those medicinal ingredients, my poison will be fine.” In order to make Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu less worried, Yun Xiao had to choose to lie. As for whether the poison can be detoxified, Yun Xiao didn’t mind, but she didn’t want her family to worry about it.
When Yun Maozhe and Yun Xiao heard that the poison could be cured, they were relieved. Because Yun Xiao had never lied before, they easily believed it. Yun Maozhe remembered that Rong Jin had not been in the capital recently. “It’s good that he could cure it. Was Rong Jin not in the capital these days just looking for medicinal ingredients? What kind of medicine was missing? Could it be that he couldn’t buy it?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. “I don’t know either. He said that the medicinal ingredients are very precious. We don’t have any in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, he left some medicine for me to suppress the poison. Father and Mother don’t need to worry about it.”
Although Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu knew that the poison could be cured, and the worry in their hearts had mostly disappeared, they felt even more distressed when they saw Yun Xiao’s current weak appearance. “Xiaoxiao, tell us what happened to you this time? How did you get poisoned?”
Seeing this, Yun Xiao said, Knowing you can’t get away with it, He had no choice but to explain honestly, Yun Xiao avoided the situation and said a few words, but after that, she panted heavily again. She felt that her body was too weak now. “It was precisely because of the accident at the Yun Clan that I rushed back to the capital from the Xiangguo Temple. I didn’t want to be ambushed and poisoned halfway through. However, Rong Jin was there at that time and helped me suppress the poison, so it wasn’t serious.”
Later, he had to properly ask Qing Mo what was going on with him.
Although Yun Xiao said it lightly, everyone still frowned when they heard it. The dangers within could be imagined even if they thought about it. Madam Lu said with a worried expression, “It’s useless for Mother to make Xiao Xiao suffer.”
Yun Maozhe also said, “In the future, this kind of thing will never happen again.”
However, Yun Maozhe also remembered one thing. He had heard from Yun Xiao many times today about Rong Jin. In addition, Rong Jin had saved Yun Xiao’s life. Did Xiao Xiao fall in love with Rong Jin?
As for Rong Jin’s willingness to go a thousand miles away to find medicine for his daughter, he must also have feelings for her, right?
If that was the case, it would be a beautiful thing. He was very optimistic about Rong Jin. If Rong Jin really became his son-in-law, Yun Maozhe would definitely be happy.
After sizing up Yun Xiao, Yun Maozhe suppressed the doubts in his heart. This matter was not urgent. When Rong Jin returned from the other side, he would probe his mouth and discuss this matter with Mother Yun.
Yun Xiao did not know that in such a short period of time, Yun Maozhe had actually chosen the future husband for her. She did not know how she would feel. However, it was too difficult for her to catch her breath now, so she could only swallow all her words.
Housekeeper Li brought the food in, and Yun Xiao winked at Chun Lan. Chun Lan immediately coaxed Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu, who had already been relieved, to eat.
