BXBX NOVEL Chapter 445 - 445: Breaking the Pot and Getting to the End
However, Su Qian’s persistent probing made Dongfang Ruyan unsure of how to respond. She could only lower her head and casually gather the stray strands of hair near her ear. “Do you really need to be so detailed? Qianqian, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. Just prescribe me some effective medicine.”
“I have to be responsible for every patient of mine. Miss Dongfang, if you can’t remember for the time being, you can take your time. I’m not in a hurry.” Su Qian stood at the side and looked at Dongfang Ruyan calmly. It was obvious that she had made up her mind to get to the bottom of this.
“Actually, there’s nothing to hide. I vaguely remember that I was brutally trampled by some demonic beast, and its foot happened to step on my heart meridian, injuring it and leading to my current condition,” Dongfang Ruyan said as she lowered her eyes to conceal the emotions that flashed through them.
“Is that so?” Su Qian scrutinized Dongfang Ruyan with her phoenix-like eyes. “But from examining your pulse just now, it seems like you’ve been poisoned.”
Earlier, Su Qian had taken Dongfang Ruyan’s pulse and found a unique toxin in her body.
This toxin was extremely rare and something Su Qian had never encountered before.
Dongfang Ruyan’s heart meridian was indeed injured, but it was this toxin that continually tormented her, preventing her wound from healing. Over time, it naturally weakened her body.
However, the crucial issue was not the extent of the heart meridian injury but the presence of this toxin.
If Dongfang Ruyan had been honest with her from the beginning, Su Qian wouldn’t have spoken so sharply. However, this woman clearly had something to hide from her.
Speaking of which, it was strange. If Dongfang Ruyan was poisoned, so be it. At most, she could just beg Su Qian to help her detoxify the poison. Yet, instead of being forthright, she chose to conceal the information, leaving Su Qian perplexed about what was going on in this woman’s mind.
Dongfang Ruyan was taken aback. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and said in surprise, “What? You said I was poisoned? How is that possible?” “What’s wrong? You’ve been poisoned for many years, yet you don’t know?” Su Qian looked at this woman with skepticism, pondering whether her words were true or false.
Just as Su Qian was trying to pry some clues from Dongfang Ruyan’s face, a series of wails came from outside the door.
“Sob sob sob, Mother! Someone hit me, you have to help me take revenge, Mother!” Speaking as he entered the room, a child about halfway grown pushed the door open. When he saw Dongfang Ruyan, he cried and threw himself into her arms.
Dongfang Ruyan quickly hugged her precious son and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, An’er? Who dared to hit you? Tell me, and I’ll skin them alive for you!”
Su Qian looked at Dongfang An, who seemed like a round ball, crying in Dongfang Ruyan’s arms, and subconsciously disliked this child. At this moment, she stood at the side with a cold expression and watched this scene with a hint of coldness.
Dongfang An’s cries were convulsive as he wailed, “It’s, it’s a boy and a girl, two kids. They insulted me and even hit me!”
“Preposterous! Where did these wild kids come from to actually bully my son!” Dongfang Ruyan shouted in exasperation.
“Miss Dongfang, this is our Nangong family, not your Dongfang Residence. You’d better watch your attitude when speaking here. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences if you insult our children.” Su Qian’s expression turned abruptly cold, and her tone remained unfazed as she spoke..
