CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 316

Outside, a few people were still discussing whether Chen Muxue and Xiaohua’s current condition was connected to the Yin Family. Inside, Lan Xin took the initiative to feed Chen Muxue medicine.

After washing her body and changing clothes, there wasn’t much else to do, so most of the maids left yawning.

The female doctor from the Huo Family mumbled a few precautions about making and taking medicine, then left without any reluctance.

After all, she enjoyed a leisurely life at the Huo Family’s Villa. These maids and servants were all human. Even without illness, they feared future hardships, so they treated her like a goddess. Being called out to work unexpectedly in the middle of the night, she truly felt a bit disgruntled.

If it weren’t for the fact that the two men outside had notably high cultivation, far beyond her ability to contend with, she wouldn’t have been willing to come.

The female doctor quickly hurried out and perfunctorily responded to the inquiries of the crowd, saying a few reassuring words before hastily retreating to her quarters.

Taking advantage of the moment when the inner room was empty, Lan Xin hastily added a little strange powder into the medicine and then stirred it thoroughly until the bowl of medicine nearly turned into mush.

Looking at the poison-laden medicine, Lan Xin’s eyes flashed coldly as a smile curled at her lips. "Demoness, today is your death day!"

With that, she impatiently forced the medicine into Chen Muxue’s mouth. A spoon was obviously unsatisfactory for Lan Xin, so she directly tipped the bowl against Chen Muxue’s head, hoping she might choke, or better yet, die from it!

As soon as it entered her mouth, the overly concentrated poisonous concoction began bubbling at an alarming speed. To an uninformed observer, it might seem as if Chen Muxue was brushing her teeth with half a tube of toothpaste.

Cen Lizhui, after listening to the female doctor’s perfunctory responses, felt uneasy and inquired with a maid who hadn’t yet left. He learned that Chen Muxue and Xiaohua had already changed into new clothes, fully wrapped up, and only then did he return Chen Muxue’s old clothes to the maid, stepping toward the inner room.

Pulling back the curtain, he saw Lan Xin pressing a bowl against Chen Muxue’s mouth, her face was half-covered in foamy whiteness—a striking scene.

Cen Lizhui was momentarily speechless. Before he could say anything, Lan Xin was startled by his arrival, and the bowl fell to the ground. Although he wanted to see the dramatic smashing of the bowl, unfortunately, even the rooms of the villa were luxuriously carpeted with grizzly bear skin, so the bowl merely toppled onto the leather carpet.

Cen Lizhui looked at the bubbles on Chen Muxue’s face with confusion, and before he could inquire, Lan Xin hastily explained, "Young Master, I just fed the medicine, and Miss Chen immediately started foaming at the mouth!"

Lin Qing and the three children also entered at this moment, looking at the scene with puzzled expressions.

"Wow, the floor’s smoking!" Changgui suddenly pointed at the grizzly bear skin on the floor.

Lan Xin looked down, hurriedly picking up the medicine bowl. The remnants of the medicine had burned a circle into the carpet, startling her.

Is this medicine, or is it lava?

Did they mistake the Yin Family’s poisonous venom for medicine?

"It wasn’t me, I don’t know anything!" Lan Xin preemptively knelt and kowtowed, not waiting for others to question her.

Cen Lizhui didn’t have time to deal with her. With a casual use of the Imprisonment Technique, he immobilized her in place, then went forward to wipe the foam from Chen Muxue’s face with his sleeve, which was being corroded by the foam.

Fortunately, after wiping off the foam, Chen Muxue appeared to be unharmed on the surface.

"Wow, her face is tougher than bear hide!" Lin Qing marveled as he came closer, which earned him several more glares.

Busy checking Chen Muxue’s vital signs, Cen Lizhui didn’t notice a small, shiny piece fall from his corroded sleeve, landing right on Chen Muxue’s exposed right hand.
