The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 841: Drink poison No. 841

Su Qingyue slung his arm over her shoulder and propped his body up, leading him toward the room.

Xiao Yishan, bearing the pain in his chest, supported Xiao Yuchuan’s other arm, and together they carried him into Yuchuan’s room.

Su Qingyue had Xiao Yuchuan sit on the bed and gestured for the second brother to secure his shoulder.

With one hand, she pressed down on his abdomen, while with the other, she reached into his mouth. Under pressure, the poison Xiao Yuchuan had just ingested made him feel nauseated as she coaxed it out.

With a retch, he vomited some of the poison.

Su Qingyue continued pressing and coaxing, and he vomited a little more of the poison.

...

Until there was nothing left to vomit.

Only then did she help him lie down.

Checking the pulse again, she found that he had vomited most of the poison; his pulse was much steadier than before.

Only a trace of the potent poison remained.

Xiao Yishan anxiously asked from the side, “Will third brother be alright?”

“He won’t die.” She unfolded the bundle draped over her shoulder and took out a detoxification pill to feed him, “There’s just a bit of residual poison. This detoxification pill will temporarily suppress the effects of the poison until I can deduce the ingredients of the poison he ingested and help him detoxify.”

Xiao Yishan felt somewhat relieved, “That’s good.”

Seeing blood seeping from Xiao Yishan’s chest wound, Su Qingyue said expressionlessly, “Second brother, you should rest first.”

“Wife…” He was still habitually about to call her wife, but remembering that such a term led her to stab him, he didn’t want to cause more trouble at this critical moment, “Qingyue, you’re not leaving, are you?”

Su Qingyue gave a bitter smile and glanced at the deeply furrowed brows of the unconscious Xiao Yuchuan, giving no reply.

Li Rong’er had already been scared stiff by a series of shocking events and couldn’t believe that Xiao Yuchuan was willing to sacrifice his life to keep Su Qingyue.

Such a man was too terrifying!

At the same time, she envied the deep affection Xiao Yuchuan had for Su Qingyue.

She followed into the room and caught sight of Xiao Yishan’s wound bleeding more than before, walked up with concern, “Second young Master, you should quickly go back to your room to lie down, otherwise, if the third young Master hasn’t recovered, and you collapse too, what then?”

“Alright,” he said, nodding coldly. With the help of Li Rong’er, he returned to the side room next door. Passing through the yard and seeing a crowd of villagers still gaping at the spectacle, his face iced over, “Go away, all of you! If it weren’t for your meddling in my house today, none of this would have happened!”

The villagers all started to feel embarrassed.

And sheepishly dispersed.

The news that Su Qingyue no longer had a deed of sale and thus had no ties to the Xiao Family spread quickly. Everyone said that Su Qingyue wanted to leave the Xiao Family because she was indignant that Xiao Yishan brought another woman home, and nearly all the women in the village cursed Xiao Yishan for being fickle and inconstant, quickly replacing the old with the new.

Of course, it was mostly the women who cursed, as most men could understand. After all, which man doesn’t like a pretty face? Besides, Li Rong’er’s appearance, compared to Su Qingyue’s face marred with spots, was much more attractive.

While many people cursed Xiao Yishan, they also sighed over Xiao Yuchuan’s foolish infatuation, risking his life for Su Qingyue.

After Xiao Yishan returned to his room to lie down, he had Li Rong’er close the courtyard door.

Xiao Qinghe rode in his wheelchair, turning the chair wheels, and entered Xiao Yuchuan’s room. He saw his third brother lying pale on the bed, and his wife was dabbing at the filth he had vomited with a handkerchief, placing it in a small bottle.

Having heard from his wife that his third brother was out of danger, he did not inquire further about his condition.

Qinghe’s eyes fell on Su Qingyue’s face and he moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.

In the end, he said nothing and turned the wheelchair to leave the room.
