Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 495 - 397 Second Watch
Chapter 495: 397 Second Watch
Having another child with Ye Cheng wasn’t as simple as just wanting one; it depended on fate. Moreover, bearing a child for ten months, from conception to birth, required ten months.
Nearly a year felt too long for her at the moment.
So, she needed to quickly figure out a way to cure Ye Cheng’s illness.
Once Ye Cheng’s illness was cured, it would no longer be a method or tool for others to harm him.
She hid in the storeroom, letting Xiaoqi play outside with Erbao.
She decided to move the book outside, leaned against the bed, and read it page by page.
When she came across a page on the use of Blood Vine, she perked up, pointing to it with her finger, reading each word.
"For those with cold poison, Blood Vine can be mixed with the umbilical cord blood of a newborn to detoxify, or place them on the brink of death before they can be revived."
Xiaofeng was startled. Place them on the brink of death before revival, what did that mean? It meant letting Ye Cheng die once, and if Ye Cheng didn’t actually die, the poison in his body would naturally be resolved.
But what if he died? What if he accidentally died during this process?
Xiaofeng couldn’t imagine, what if Ye Cheng died during this time and never woke up again, would that mean he truly died?
No, there must be something wrong.
But, where exactly was the mistake? Apart from these two methods, was there no other way, such as an antidote?
Yes, an antidote.
Someone had poisoned Ye Cheng; who was this person? As long as she found out who it was, she would definitely know what poison was affecting Ye Cheng, and he must have had an antidote.
In less than half an hour, Xiaofeng thought of countless possibilities.
Both good and bad.
She admitted that she hadn’t experienced such complex scheming in her previous life, and now she felt somewhat powerless and at a loss.
The opponent’s people were now right beside her father, and unless she removed the opponent stealthily, they could always threaten the safety of her family.
Her elder brother definitely was not a match for the opponent. Not to mention her brother, there was no one in the entire Xijiang County who could match her.
Moreover, what if the opponent, driven into a corner, lashed out in desperation?
Maybe when Ye Cheng returned, she could discuss the situation with him; he might still have powers in Xijiang County capable of contending with the opponent’s ability.
As she pondered, the telephone in her room rang.
She quickly transferred Erbao from the space, got down from the bed, and went to answer the phone.
"Xiaofeng." Su Peng’s voice was a bit hoarse and weary.
"Brother, what’s wrong?" Calling at this hour, could it be something had happened to their dad?
"It’s not a big deal, just got a scare," Su Peng recounted the incident with lingering fear, "Dad almost had a serious accident just now."
"What happened?" Xiaofeng’s heart sank, understanding that Men Chao was reminding her to think things over carefully.
"After I hung up the phone with you, I went with mom and dad to buy some clothes. Suddenly, a drunk wielding a knife came charging out from nowhere, attacking anyone in sight. Dad didn’t react in time, and his hand got slashed. If not for Lili reacting quickly and pulling Dad away, his injuries could have been much worse. Every time I think about it, I feel very upset and guilty, Xiaofeng, I failed to take good care of him."
Although it was not a light injury, it was the same hand that had been injured previously, which had barely healed in less than six months.
Now injured again, he naturally felt very guilty and remorseful.
"Is the injury severe?" Xiaofeng was much calmer now.
There’s a saying, what’s meant to come will always come.
Although she wasn’t the original owner, her emotional connection to Old Crook Su might not be very deep, but since Old Crook Su raised the original owner and she was using her body, she definitely couldn’t ignore him.
"It’s not very severe, but he lost quite a bit of blood. I’m just worried that this injury might affect the recovery of his hand."
"As long as the tendons aren’t damaged, there’s no cause for worry." She wasn’t worried about her father’s hand anymore since she had Revival Herb in her space, which could heal damaged tendons, "Don’t blame yourself too much, this kind of incident can’t be anticipated."
"I was still careless. If I had reacted a bit faster, maybe dad wouldn’t have had this accident."
"Brother, from what I’m hearing about mom and dad, it seems like you have taken a liking to this Lili, haven’t you?"
Thinking of the kiss Lili had given him, and hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Su Peng’s face burned hot, "I think she is a good person, if not for her today... "
Xiaofeng chuckled internally, my silly brother.
