CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 297: RELUCTANT TO PART?

[Can’t you wait for someone to finish speaking before considering?!]

[Such a tyrant! Are you a bandit?!]

Feeling indignant, the man braced one hand on the bed by her ear and suddenly leaned down, his handsome face almost touching her cheek.

Yun Ran held her breath, her heart trembling, "You, you want to do what?"

A mere inch apart, the man’s deep eyes, as if infinite seas or boundless skies, gazed into hers, seemingly able to capture a person’s soul.

Yun Ran was inexplicably flustered by his gaze, "You, you why, why don’t you speak?"

Yet he remained silent, the bedroom was utterly quiet, one could hear a pin drop.

So close, she could clearly feel his breath’s warmth on her cheek, could clearly see every one of his eyelashes was so long...

"Lin Wanyue."

He suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, breaking the silence, making Yun Ran’s heart tremble, "What, what?"

"If you dare to hurt yourself so recklessly again next time, I will not show mercy."

Yun Ran: "???"

What?!

What did he say?!

No mercy? How would he not show mercy?

Thinking of that bowl of medicine just now, that bitterness, that torment, was simply ’unforgettable.’

Yun Ran couldn’t help but mutter softly, "You talk as if you were so magnanimous this time... petty dog man! This grudge will be avenged sooner or later!"

"What did you say?"

"Ah... I said, you are absolutely right! Indeed, you shouldn’t show mercy! You don’t even need to do it yourself, I’ll just dig a hole and jump in it myself!"

Looking at her confident brown-nosing act, Nangong Mo said nothing and got up to leave.

Yun Ran quietly shifted her gaze towards his figure, but it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He paused but did not look back, "You’re staring at me so intently, is it that you can’t bear me leaving?"

Yun Ran: "???"

[What a joke! Can’t you have some shame? Who can’t bear you? Clearly, I’m just making sure you leave quickly, okay?!]

"Ugh... this medicine seems to be making me sleepy? I’m going to sleep a bit more, you go ahead if you’re busy, don’t worry about me~!"

Yun Ran saw Nangong Mo walk outside the screen, then sit on his wheelchair before exiting the hall.

This scene awakened countless memories in Yun Ran, making her feel a bit unbalanced inside.

He’s the one pretending to be disabled, the one posing as Yun Mo to trick her out of Silver, and the one impersonating the rogue harassing her, so shouldn’t he be the one feeling guilty and anxious?!

Shouldn’t he be the one threatened with settling scores later?

But why was she the one yielding today?!

Thinking of her earlier cowardly, ingratiating, and flattering behavior... Yun Ran felt she couldn’t even look!

It must have been his aura that scared her into this!

"Truly the Iron-blooded War God who emerged fighting from the piles of countless bones on the battlefield, his aura is exceptional! Cold-faced Evil God-like!"

"No wonder he is reputed in various countries as the Bloodthirsty Killing God, Jade-faced Asura, Death-reaping Yama King, Cold-blooded and Ruthless Demon!"

"Seems like the rumors weren’t unfair to him!"

...

In the Minister Mansion.

After being treated by the doctor, Lin Qianqiu and the others gradually woke up, but had almost no strength, as if they’d been beaten severely, feeling sore, painful, and weak.

Lin Qianqiu leaned weakly against the bedhead, drinking the medicine handed over by a servant, occasionally cursing:

’Rebellious girl’ ’abomination’ ’unfortunate family’ ’shame on ancestors’

Mrs. Qin needed no further mention, uttering all the venomous words, desperately wishing to skin Yun Ran and drink her blood, eat her flesh, destroy her soul, never to be reincarnated.

Among them, Lin Haoran inhaled the least amount of confusing smoke, and his body was the strongest with martial arts foundation, so he only felt a little weak.

But his anger was no less than anyone else’s; were it not for retaining some rationality, he would have drawn his sword and ridden to Prince Qin Mansion to severely punish Yun Ran.

The worst off was Lin Yanran.

Besides the soreness and weakness all over, she also felt particularly itchy, couldn’t help scratching, and soon a rash appeared all over.

Her wrists, arms, neck, all covered in small red rashes.

Lin Yanran was both panicked and furious, her heart in her throat, just afraid her face would be the same.

Immediately ordered a maid to bring hot water to wash her face.

But what she feared came; it wasn’t long before her face started itching too. Lin Yanran initially resisted scratching, but the itch became unbearable.

The maid, seeing the rashes on Lin Yanran’s face, was scared to death, fearing she’d take her anger out on them, quickly ran to the main courtyard to call the doctor and inform Lin Haoran.

Upon hearing, Lin Haoran rushed there, the whole small courtyard filled with Lin Yanran’s screams.

His heart tightened, he dashed into the room at top speed, "Sister! Sister, what’s wrong?"

"Ahh! Don’t come over! Don’t look at me!"

Lin Yanran, hands tightly covering her face, shook her head vigorously to keep Lin Haoran from approaching.

Seeing her excessively agitated state, Lin Haoran dared not act rashly, "Alright, alright, I won’t come over, I won’t look, tell brother, where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it pain or what? What are the symptoms?"

"Itchy, so itchy, it must be Lin Wanyue poisoning me, it must be her!"

"She wants to harm me! Wants to disfigure me! She’s jealous I’m marrying the Crown Prince! It must be this!"

Hearing Lin Yanran’s cries, Lin Haoran’s expression changed abruptly, feeling both shocked and furious.

Father, mother, and those guards only felt sore and weak, nothing else, but sister...

Though unable to see her face, he guessed it might also be covered in rashes, just like the exposed part of her arm.

He became uncontrollably angry, "Lin Wanyue! This vicious woman! Sister, wait, I’ll go get the antidote from her!"

Lin Haoran furiously turned away, striding toward the door, loudly commanding someone to prepare a horse.

But Lin Yanran loudly stopped him, "Brother! Don’t go! She won’t give you the antidote!"

"She has no choice!"

"No, I know her, even if she gives it, she’ll tamper with it! She’ll definitely continue harming me!"

This successfully halted Lin Haoran’s pace.

"Then what to do? Just now, the doctor found no trace of poison when checking your pulse... who is the most famous doctor in the capital?"

"Brother, go to the Crown Prince, explain my situation to him, have him send Imperial Doctor Fang over, last time I was poisoned, it was Imperial Doctor Fang who attended to me."

This way, the Crown Prince will know she was harmed by Lin Wanyue, that venomous woman, and suffered a lot, surely he’d feel some sympathy for her.

At the same time, it’d let him see Lin Wanyue’s true face, show him how malicious she is!
