Chapter 151: Out of breath

Everyone seemed to think that she and Xue Xiao were a real couple.

The second lady, in particular, was the first to attack and expressed her strong dissatisfaction with the fact that she and Xue Xiao slept in separate rooms. After hearing the news, she sighed for several days as if she knew a volcano had erupted, muttering things like "A couple who sleep in separate rooms will eventually break up", "Only by sleeping in the same bed can they develop feelings and tacit understanding", and "You can't just do it when you need it". These remarks fully exposed the unruly soul of a middle-aged woman.

Then, seeing that her advice was fruitless, the second lady, who was a very self-consistent person, quickly stopped and began to numb herself with fantastic statements such as "True love is in the day and night, not in a flash", "People are not snakes, how can they be entangled with each other every day!?", "A short separation is better than a new marriage, only by being apart occasionally can you be in a daze all the time", "After being in a daze for a while, there will be one cub, two cubs, or nine cubs, right?"

Most people in the entire Nan Mansion thought that she and Xue Xiao were a somewhat strange but loving couple.

Given Zhao Shanyue's personality, he would naturally not go out of his way to clarify this misunderstanding.

Therefore, from Cheng Xingyu's point of view, Xue Xiao is the worst person in the world for allowing his wife to take poison.

Shan Yue was silent, but she could not explain her alliance with Xue Xiao: "Qing Feng", the death of Xue Xiao's mother's family, her and Shui Guang's identities were all traps buried underground and ready to bleed at any time. She was already struggling, so how could she drag down Xing Yu? The truth of some things would only bring crisis and burden to others.

".Anyway, he doesn't need to know. Knowing it is useless." Shan Yue's attitude was rarely firm: "Do you agree or not?"

Cheng Xingyu's delicate eyebrows twisted into a knot, and he looked at Shan Yue disapprovingly: "Is he not treating you well?"

Shan Yue was stunned for a moment, a little helpless: "It's not bad either"

"That's not good."

How can there be a good husband who doesn’t even know that his wife has been poisoned?
I'm afraid he's just like those hypocritical officials who only put in superficial effort!
The last time I heard Shanyue talk about him, I thought he was a good person, but now that I listen carefully, he is just so-so.
Cheng Xingyu was a little anxious - he didn't have much time left!

Doctor Cheng, who was usually gentle and calm, had two abnormal blushes on his face, showing a rare anger: "If you rely on others for the antidote, you will always be controlled by others! I will do my best to heal you. I can even cure epidemic diseases, let alone a small poison!——"

Cheng Xingyu paused for a moment, his eyes seemed to be burning with all the light of his remaining life: "Will you leave here after I have cured you of the poison?"

Shan Yue opened her lips slightly: She didn't belong here in the first place. When the time comes, dust will return to dust, earth will return to earth. We are originally two different people, how can we walk the same path?

Shanyue gently raised his chin to wash away the sourness in his throat, then nodded.

Cheng Xingyu asked in detail about the color, consistency, and symptoms of the poisonous soup, but there was nothing in the medical books and pharmacopoeias that could correspond to it.

Cheng Xingyu frowned: This is not in line with pharmacology. At least, in his opinion, there is no such thing as a miraculous medicine or poison that can last for half a lifetime after taking it once.

Cheng Xingyu then thought of the "antidote" that would be available ten days later, and came up with a shortcut: "If there is an antidote, please show it to me."

Shan Yue nodded: "Okay - okay."

She could die, but if there was a chance to live, she wanted to live.

Shan Yue also looked at Cheng Xingyu's face carefully: "Why are your lips whiter than before? This poison of mine will not kill you easily. You don't need to be too anxious. Just try it slowly. If it doesn't work, I can get the antidote. The capital is not like Songjiang Prefecture. If there is no one to take care of you, I will ask the second lady to go there temporarily."

Cheng Xingyu bit his lips subconsciously, trying to make them more lively, and forced a thin smile: "I'm very simple, I eat steamed buns and drink porridge, Second Miss is killing a chicken with a butcher knife. Besides, my body has always been like this, how can there be any ups and downs? Don't worry, isn't there such a saying? A healthy person will die if he is not careful, but a sick person can live longer than a turtle." He changed the subject in a light tone: "I am either worried about your matter or the writing of "North-South Disease Mirror". Anyway, I can't sit still."

"North-South Disease Mirror?" Shan Yue asked back. "It was planned to include 108 common diseases in both the north and south. As I collected more, I found that many diseases among the people were caused by the lack of common sense. For example, diarrhea caused by eating vegetables that have been stored for a long time, and when planting rice in the fields, people rolled up their trouser legs to keep cool. Leeches sucked blood and caused wounds, which easily led to high fever. There are many things they don't know. I even specially wrote a limerick and included it in the book——"

Cheng Xingyu's anger faded away, his eyes brightened, and he sang with Shan Yue: "Wash your hands frequently, don't rub your eyes, rinse with salt water, open the windows frequently, clean more, don't eat rotten food, rub your clothes, change your shoes, use folk remedies, and take medicine."

The voice is soft and the tail tone is long, like an extremely bright meteor.

Shanyue tilted her head and looked at Cheng Xingyu with a smile.

As Cheng Xingyu sang, he glanced sideways, his eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, and he slowly smiled with the corners of his lips.

Twenty years old, only three months left.

His pulse is very bad.

Doctors don't treat themselves because it is easy to make mistakes when diagnosing themselves.

If the mind is in disorder, the pulse will be disordered, and if the pulse is disordered, it cannot be cured.

He didn't have that worry, as he had been rushing towards death all his life. He had enough time to face his bad pulse calmly and do his best to live longer.

Every day he lives longer, he can do one more thing.

Shanyue barely thanked Cheng Xingyu, and only prepared a box of cakes and said, "Since you don't want the second lady to go, just keep the cakes to satisfy your hunger."

Cheng Xingyu carried the red lacquered mother-of-pearl food box and walked along the corridor to the outer courtyard and out of the mansion. When he passed the waterside on the center of the lake, he saw the mad dog sitting cross-legged in the corridor, with his eyes closed, breathing in and out.

Cheng Xingyu:
Really, it makes me angry just looking at it.

"Doctor Cheng, is my wife's pulse stable?" Xue Xiao opened his eyes and immediately noticed the lunch box that Cheng Xingyu was holding: it looked familiar, like the food from his family.

The corners of Cheng Xingyu's mouth flattened and his smile disappeared. He didn't want to pay any attention to Xue Xiao. He took two steps forward, paused slightly, and turned back.

When a good person is in a bad mood, he also wants to kick a mad dog!
We should also give good people a chance to vent!
"It's nothing serious."

Cheng Xingyu slightly raised his head and looked at Xue Xiao calmly: "I've made an appointment to come back to see your pulse in ten days—" Cheng Xingyu raised his hand and showed off by holding the food box given by Shanyue to his eyebrows: "Miss Liu was worried that I had no one to take care of me and was too busy with the free clinic to take care of my three meals, so she gave me too many cakes. But she didn't expect that I live alone and it would be a huge waste if I couldn't finish it."

Cheng Xingyu pursed his lips and said, "Master Xue has worked hard in training, would you like me to give you two pieces to fill your stomach?"

Xue Xiao:?
what?
what?
This man is sick!

Take his family's food and give it to him as a favor! ?

Xue Xiao was so angry that his ribs were almost broken by his breath!
