Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Medicine Concerns Human Life

Chapter 63 -63 Medicine Concerns Human Life

With the Uncle Master here, even Gao He, who had already made a name for himself in Jiang City, could only play a supporting role at this moment.

Moreover, he had already said when he saw Old Mr. Fu earlier that with his abilities, there was no way to save Old Mr. Fu.

Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s order, Gao He immediately stood up and said, “Yes, Uncle Master,” then left the bedroom to welcome the guests for Lu Sheng.

No matter what, now there was at least some hope for Old Mr. Fu to survive, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Chen Ruyun.

In a place where no one could see, Chen Ruyun’s hands were shaking. It wasn’t clear whether it was from anger or fear.

Because only she knew exactly how Old Mr. Fu had ended up in this state.

How could it be…

Chen Ruyun couldn’t understand how this illegitimate daughter from the countryside could be the closed-door disciple of the great Master Feng Guolin, and possess something like the Returning Pill which could resolve all poisons?

Is this some kind of movie?

Do miracle cures like this really exist in reality?!

She had gone to great lengths to seamlessly get rid of the old man and had perfectly shifted the blame onto Lu Sheng, whom she extremely loathed.

But now this girl was saying that the old man could be saved?

Chen Ruyun was almost grinding her molars to pieces.

That night at the Fu Family’s banquet, after Chen Ruyun met Lu Sheng, she tried both soft and hard tactics to force Lu Sheng to call off her engagement to Fu Chen, but was bluntly rebuffed by Lu Sheng in a few words.

Chen Ruyun was furious, thinking she would never let such a wild girl become her daughter-in-law and enter the Fu Family. She had to find a way to cancel this marriage.

Later, she saw a servant taking a prescription written by Lu Sheng out of Old Mr. Fu’s room, and was about to disdainfully throw it away when she suddenly had an idea upon a closer look.

This could be an opportunity.

That prescription was written by Lu Sheng, and Old Mr. Fu trusted this girl so much that he was actually planning to take the medicine she prescribed.

Old Mr. Fu was already old and feeble, just barely clinging to life.

If she tampered with this medicine, like adding something or changing something, could she not silently take the old man’s life?

In that case, Old Mr. Fu would have had a problem from taking the medicine prescribed by Lu Sheng, and Lu Sheng would naturally be the one to blame, which would have nothing to do with her.

If Old Mr. Fu were gone, she would be able to cancel the engagement between him and Lu Sheng. Moreover, by killing Old Mr. Fu, Lu Sheng would also have to go to jail or even pay with her life.

After all, she was just an illegitimate daughter of the Lu Family, and the Lu Family’s influence was nothing compared to the Fu Family.

And a powerless little girl who had just arrived in Jiang City surely had no one to reach out and help her.

Spending a few years in prison would be a suitable punishment for this ignorant girl, who had the audacity to talk back to her that day.

The more Chen Ruyun thought about it, the more she felt that if this plan succeeded, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

So, the next day, without letting anyone follow her, she took a taxi to a place.

That man just glanced at the prescription and said that by changing just one component, Old Mr. Fu would die from a sudden outbreak in five days, and there would be no saving him.

His talented apprentice could mimic someone else’s handwriting just by looking at it once.

As it turned out, what the man said was spot on.

Old Mr. Fu’s condition had worsened day by day after taking the medicine for five days, and if the servants came to her, she claimed everything was fine, secretly wishing for more severe symptoms.

Today was the fifth day, and Old Mr. Fu vomited blood and passed out immediately after breakfast, obviously succumbing to the poison.

Chen Ruyun was ecstatic.

First, she notified Fu Yun and Fu Siya, then contacted Lu Jingyan for a round of questioning. Later, as soon as Lu Sheng walked in the door, Chen Ruyun smashed a teacup straight at her.

Even if Li Muchen was displeased, she stood her ground. For someone who had harmed their family’s Old Mr. Fu like this, it would be totally justifiable for her to charge up and hit them.

Who would believe Lu Sheng if she said the prescription had been switched?

The only people who had seen this prescription were that man, Old Mr. Fu, the servant who fetched the medicine, and her.

The servant wouldn’t have noticed the single character difference. And Old Mr. Fu was now comatose, with no one able to prove it for her.

Lu Sheng simply couldn’t prove her innocence.

But Chen Ruyun could never have anticipated that, in just a short span of ten minutes or so, this Lu Sheng would become the closed-door disciple of Grandmaster Feng Guolin, claiming she had the miracle cure that could save Old Mr. Fu.

Could it be that the Returning Pill is really so miraculous??

“Uncle Master, I have brought your friend.”

Not long after, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked and saw that the person Gao He brought in was a slender young man dressed in a white shirt.

The youth had handsome and delicate features with a cold expression between his brows and eyes. His shirt and pants were both washed to the point of fading, suggesting a humble family background.

Yet he didn’t glance sideways at the rich people filling the room but instead caught sight of the young girl among them and walked straight towards her.

“I’ve brought you what you wanted.”

Huo Yu stood still in front of Lu Sheng and handed her a small red silk bag.

Lu Sheng received the silk bag and her expression finally relaxed, seeming to ease.

“Thank you for helping, but isn’t Shengjing in class right now? How did you get out?” Lu Sheng asked, looking up at him.

Seeing the girl’s bright and focused eyes on him, Huo Yu’s gaze trembled slightly, and he awkwardly turned away: “No need to thank… I climbed over the wall.”

Li Muchen, who was beside Lu Sheng, frowned.

Even though it was only for an instant, he clearly caught a glimpse of shyness crossing the young man’s eyes and a hint of redness on his ears.

This was a sign of the young man’s heart fluttering.

Li Muchen stepped forward, subtly increasing the distance between Lu Sheng and Huo Yu, and asked in a low voice, “And who is this?”

“He’s my desk mate at Shengjing, and also the only friend I have right now.” Lu Sheng explained without much thought.

She lowered her head and rummaged through the silk bag, taking out a small, exquisite wooden box.

Upon opening it, inside was a black pill, neither big nor small, and looked quite ordinary.

“So this is the Returning Pill?” Lu Jingyan asked.

“Correct.”

Lu Sheng took the pill out and held it between her fingers, showing no sign that this was one of only two miracle antidotes in the world.

As Lu Sheng was about to walk to Old Mr. Fu’s bedside with the Returning Pill, she was suddenly held back by Gao He, who hesitated to speak: “Wait, Uncle Master…”

Lu Sheng turned her head, looking at him: “What’s wrong?”

Gao He took a deep breath: “Have you forgotten that according to ancestral teachings, the Returning Pill cannot be used on outsiders. If you do this, wouldn’t it be violating the ancestral teachings and the master’s rules?”

—What?

Just when we had the medicine that could save the old master’s life, and now you tell me it can’t be used?

Fu Yun on hearing this was about to explode. She felt that if Lu Sheng put the medicine away, she would directly go and snatch it.

But Lu Sheng instead turned to Gao He and spoke earnestly: “Your sudden restraint and words show that you always keep the master’s rules and ancestral teachings in mind. As your uncle master, I am very comforted by this.”

“But you should know that the rule of not disclosing medicines from medical scriptures to outsiders exists because it’s uncertain if the medicine will harm the patient. And the efficacy of this Returning Pill has already been personally verified by the master.”

“As Xu Dachun said in ‘Medical Origin and Development Theory,’ ‘Medicine relates to human life, and nothing is more critical to a person than life and death.’ Violating the ancestral teachings to save a person’s life is something the master wouldn’t blame, otherwise, he wouldn’t have given you my phone number beforehand.”

The girl’s tone was calm as she spoke, her clear eyes shimmering with a slight glow. Though young, she emanated a sense of profound knowledge and an all-encompassing tolerance.

Everyone present was somewhat spellbound.

Finally, with no further interference, Lu Sheng approached Old Mr. Fu’s bedside. Seeing the old master’s face and lips devoid of color, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Suddenly, she remembered the night Grandpa Fu had taken her hand and said, “Nannan, now that you’ve come to Jiang City, Grandpa is your support. If you suffer any grievances in the Lu Family, just tell Grandpa, and I will stand up for you.”

Grandpa Fu had looked at her with a loving face, as if she were his own granddaughter. Lu Sheng took a deep breath, her gaze turning cold.

She intended to not only bring Old Mr. Fu back but also restore his health to better than before, and then find the person who used her hand to harm Grandpa Fu.

Lu Sheng pinched Old Mr. Fu’s mouth, stuffed the Returning Pill into it, and quietly stimulated her Soul Power to help him absorb it.

Everyone gathered around the bed, anxiously waiting for the outcome.

After a minute or two, the old master’s fingers finally twitched, followed by the struggle to open his somewhat cloudy eyes.

Before everyone had time to rejoice, they saw the old master’s expression suddenly turning extremely painful. His head tilted, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood onto Lu Sheng’s hand as she rose to support him.
