Chapter 299 The Unsuccessful Murder
Bai Xun hasn't been to the old house these days.
One day, the housekeeper Bai came to invite the old lady and said that the doctor invited from Yangcheng to treat the old lady had arrived.
"The doctor invited from Yangcheng? Is it Doctor Yang Wude?" Nanchun asked.
"Yes, the old lady's illness has not been cured for a long time. The old master was really worried, so he asked Doctor Yang to come and see her. Second Young Master, you should go and see her." said Butler Bai.
"I understand." Bai Xun said.
"Second Young Madam, would you like to go and take a look too? After all..." Butler Bai hesitated to speak.
Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "Logically, I should go and serve. But you know, butler, the old lady must be so angry when she sees me that she might as well get sick."
Butler Bai said, "You went to the old house and didn't go inside. This shows that you have this intention."
Bai Xun said, "It's okay, I'll go."
"It's okay, I'll go with you. Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes." Nanchun said with a smile.
When I arrived at the old house and was on my way to the old lady's courtyard, I happened to see Yang Wude walking through the long corridor carrying a black leather suitcase.
Bai Xun paused slightly.
Nanchun asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xun shook his head: "It's okay."
Just now, for some reason... I felt that the scene was familiar.
When they arrived at the old lady's courtyard, Butler Bai said, "Second Young Madam, please go to the west wing and wait. It's very cold outside."
"Okay, Bai Xun, go in. I'll be waiting for you." Nanchun said.
A charcoal fire burned in the west wing, creating a warm atmosphere like spring. Tea and various snacks were thoughtfully placed on the table.
"Second Young Madam, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me. I'll be waiting in the yard." Butler Bai said with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Nanchun said with a smile.
When Bai Xun entered the room, Yang Wude was prescribing medicine for Mrs. Bai.
"Madam, I told you a few years ago that you should have surgery..."
"Stop talking! If I let you cut open my stomach, I won't even have a complete body when I die." Old Lady Bai said with a frown.
"But your disease is difficult to cure with conservative treatment. It's best to go to Yangcheng for surgery." Yang Wude said with some embarrassment.
Mrs. Bai glanced at Bai Song and Bai Xun beside her and said, "It's time for me to die. Nothing has gone smoothly for me. Even if I had the surgery and suffered, what good would it do to live a few more years?"
"Grandma, what you said is true... Doctor Yang, you must prescribe good medicine, the money doesn't matter." Bai Song said.
"I understand. This is a prescription. Some of the medicines are imported from the West and may not be available here." Yang Wude said.
"I'll send a telegram to Shuisheng and ask him to send someone back from Yangcheng." Bai Xun said.
"That's good."
"Doctor Yang, let me take you to rest! You are so tired from the journey that you didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot tea." said Butler Bai.
"Okay, thank you." Yang Wude packed up his things and followed Butler Bai out.
After coming out of the house, Butler Bai took Yang Wude directly to the west wing.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Nanchun lying on the table as if he was asleep.
Butler Bai called out softly twice: "Second Young Madam, Second Young Madam."
Seeing that Nanchun didn't respond, Butler Bai finally felt relieved: "Doctor Yang, hold on tight!"
"Hey." Yang Wude responded, hurriedly opened the suitcase, and took out the medicine and syringe from the bottom layer of the suitcase.
Butler Bai wanted to roll up Nanchun's sleeves, but it was not easy to roll them up because she was wearing thick clothes in winter.
Perhaps feeling disturbed, Nanchun frowned and jerked his arm. The half-drunk cup beside him fell to the ground with a sharp thud.
Nanchun woke up dazed and said, "Butler...what happened?"
Yang Wude was so frightened that he quickly put away the syringe.
"Hurry! He hasn't fully woken up yet!" Butler Bai shouted hurriedly.
Yang Wude took out the syringe tremblingly, and just as he took a step closer to Nanchun, the door was pushed open.
"What's wrong? I heard a noise..." Bai Xun strode in. Seeing that Butler Bai and Yang Wude were a little panicked, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, "What are you doing? Nanchun... Nanchun..."
He hurried over to Nanchun and saw that he was unconscious. His face darkened and he asked, "What did you do to him?"
"No, no, I just brought Doctor Yang here to rest. As soon as I entered the room, I saw the Second Young Madam was asleep, so I wanted to wake him up and let him go to bed. But no matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up..." Butler Bai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, not knowing how to continue the story.
"I went over and saw that the Second Young Madam wasn't in a good state. She didn't look like she was asleep, but rather like she had fainted and gotten hurt..." Yang Wude glanced at the charcoal fire, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "Oh, that's right, Second Young Master, please quickly carry the Second Young Madam out, and Butler Bai, please quickly open the doors and windows. There's a charcoal fire burning in this room, and it's airtight. No wonder the Second Young Madam fainted."
Bai Xun hurriedly carried Nanchun out, shouting anxiously as he ran, "Nanchun, Nanchun... wake up!"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Bai Song heard the noise in the yard and hurried out of the house.
"The Second Young Madam is resting in the side room. The charcoal fire in the room is burning too strongly and it is airtight..." Butler Bai hurriedly explained.
"Why are you so careless?" Bo Song frowned.
Just then, Nanchun woke up and coughed twice.
Bai Xun breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nanchun took two deep breaths and said, "I just feel a little dizzy and weak all over."
"Let me take a look at the Second Young Madam." Yang Wude stepped forward and said.
Bai Xun held Nanchun tightly in his arms, looked at him warily, and said, "It's okay, I'll take him back to the villa to rest."
After saying that, he quickly left with Nanchun in his arms.
Walked out the door and got in the car.
"Afu, go to the county town quickly!" Bai Xun said anxiously.
"What happened to the Second Young Madam?" Ah Fu was startled and quickly started the car.
"I'm fine. I feel much better after coming out of the house." Nanchun recovered now.
Bai Xun touched his face with trembling hands.
Nanchun grabbed his hand and put it against her face. "I'm really fine, Ah Fu, let's go back to the villa. It's my fault for not leaving a window open for some fresh air. I just drank half a cup of tea and I felt dizzy, and then I don't know what happened."
Bai Xun's face was pale and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"Then what? What happened then?"
Nan Chun thought for a moment and said, "Then I felt someone pulling at my sleeves and my clothes, and I felt very uncomfortable. Then I heard something breaking, and I woke up in a daze. I saw the housekeeper and Doctor Yang standing over me. Doctor Yang was holding a huge syringe in his hand."
After hearing this, Bai Xun was filled with anger.
This is going to kill Nanchun right under his nose!
