Chapter 410: Chapter 410 – Rejection, She Has Soone in Mind Chapter 410: Chapter 410 – Rejection, She Has Soone in Mind Du Zhongshu struggled to get up to bow and kowtow to the two of them.
Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched.
Why did the ancient people have to be so outdated?
“Just lay down, don’t hurt yourself internally.” Bai Ruozhu said bluntly.
Bai Zepei helped Du Zhongshu and also advised, “We appreciate your good intentions, but we aren’t concerned about these formalities.
Your recovery is what matters.”
Bai Ruozhu handed a prescription to Du Zhongshu’s attendant and said, “Make another batch of this dicine for him.
Once he drinks it, the poison should be completely purged.”
The attendant hurriedly expressed his thanks and left with the prescription to prepare the dicine.
With no one else in the room, Du Zhongshu looked embarrassed and slightly nodded at the two, as if to bow in apology, saying, “I heard everything during the detoxification.
I apologise on behalf of my younger sister.”
“No need to apologise, but don’t let your sister bother .
I kindly saved you, and she ca to hit .
Without knowing, one might think she wants injured so I can’t treat you.” Bai Ruozhu was sowhat displeased at the ntion of Du Fuling.
Bai Zepei also grimaced and said, “Originally, with you being ill, you shouldn’t have to worry about such things.
But Miss Du not only failed to help but also caused more trouble.
You might as well send her ho when your family cos, to avoid trouble for us.”
A faint blush surfaced on Du Zhongshu’s pale face, and he looked even more embarrassed as he said, “It’s my fault for not disciplining her properly.
I will definitely deal with her when we get ho.”
Bai Ruozhu wasn’t here to complain; she wanted to check on Du Zhongshu’s condition.
She took his wrist to check his pulse.
After a mont, she let go and said, “Rest well after taking the dicine and try not to overthink.”
Du Zhongshu’s face grew redder.
Seeing Bai Ruozhu was about to leave, he hurriedly called out, “Ruozhu…
”
Just as Bai Ruozhu was about to leave, she was a bit astonished to hear him call her by her na.
Didn’t he used to call her “Miss Bai” before?
When did he beco so familiar to call her by her na?
Du Zhongshu couldn’t bring himself to look at Bai Ruozhu or Bai Zepei.
He spoke with his head slightly lowered.
“Today, you helped detoxify, which may harm your reputation.
But don’t worry, I will take responsibility.”
Upon finishing his words, he feared that they might misunderstand him and quickly continued, “I will talk to my family, and I will marry you in a few days.”
Both Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zepei froze when they heard this.
What on earth was he talking about?
Regaining her senses and feeling slightly embarrassed, Bai Ruozhu stared at Du Zhongshu and said, “There’s nothing to harm my reputation.
It’s the duty of a doctor to save lives.
I’m not afraid of your sister spreading rumors.
You don’t need to take responsibility for .”
This ti, Du Zhongshu was downright anxious.
He looked at Bai Ruozhu and his eyes revealed sincerity.
“No, I promise to convince my family.
I certainly won’t let you beco a concubine.
I swear I’ll take care of your children.”
Bai Ruozhu felt that what he was saying was totally different from what she ant.
She sighed, repeated herself, “You really don’t need to take responsibility for and I definitely don’t want to marry into the Du family.
Your family is so chaotic.
I’m not interested in playing family politics.
Please don’t bring this up again.”
“Do you know who poisoned ?” Du Zhongshu looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise.
Bai Ruozhu shrugged and replied, “How would I know?
But it’s clear that sobody is scheming against you.
You usually study and don’t offend anyone.
So, the only explanation is that soone is plotting against you for the family’s wealth.”
Du Zhongshu’s face turned pale again.
His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes reddened, “When I didn’t focus on my career, they were all very kind to .
But now that I’ve finally decided to do sothing serious, what I get in return is a poisoning plot.” He let out a bitter laugh and his face was imbued with a thick sense of irony.
However, he cald down quickly and looked at Bai Ruozhu, “Don’t worry, I will protect you.
You don’t need to worry about such people.” His face beca red again since it was a promise to the girl he liked.
Bai Ruozhu was getting a little anxious.
She quickly looked at her brother, hoping that he would help explain the situation to Du Zhongshu.
Whether it was out of gratitude or genuine affection, she didn’t want any entanglent with Du Zhongshu.
Upon seeing Bai Ruozhu’s plea for help, Bai Zepei’s eyes glinted with amusent, as if to say: Look, you’ve attracted another admirer.
Bai Ruozhu clenched her teeth at her brother.
Besides collaborating on selling toothpaste business, she had no relations with Du Zhongshu.
They had barely t a handful of tis.
Who knew what had got into his head?
“Zhongshu, my sister already has soone she likes.
She won’t marry you.” After teasing Bai Ruozhu, Bai Zepei directly addressed Du Zhongshu.
Bai Ruozhu was startled.
Did her brother have to be so blunt?
She was a woman with a missing husband and a child, what sweetheart did she had?
Wouldn’t this invite the town’s gossip?
Du Zhongshu was also taken aback.
Soon his expression turned gloomy as he asked, “Is it the gentleman?”
Bai Ruozhu was dumbfounded.
Before she even had a chance to think about how to deny it, she heard her brother say, “Yes, he will marry my sister, and his ho situation isn’t complicated either.
So it’s just a matter of ti.”
Bai Ruozhu was frozen again, it was as if her brother knew everything clearly.
What was going on?
Du Zhongshu looked as if he had lost his soul, and his body, leaning against the head of the bed, beca softer.
He murmured to himself, “I was one step too late.
But who can I bla?”
Bai Ruozhu returned to her senses and hurriedly said, “You should rest now.” She signaled to her brother with her eyes, and the two left the room, one after the other.
“Brother, what kind of nonsense did you spout just now?” Scared that she would be the one incriminating herself, Bai Ruozhu asked her brother aggressively.
Bai Zepei raised an eyebrow at her and said, “Stop pretending.
I have no opposition to you two being together.
I even think that he might be a good match for you.
But his background is sort of unique, so whether you should marry him depends on our observation.
You’re not in a hurry now, it’s not even three years yet.”
Bai Ruozhu’s mouth dropped open.
“You, you…”
Bai Zepei looked at his stunned sister and couldn’t hide his smugness.
“Go to your room to rest.
It seems our journey will be delayed by two or three days.”
Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes but didn’t question her brother further.
Because she already knew that the scoundrel, Jiang Yichun, must have discussed this with her brother.
And she had been kept in the dark!
Huh, she vowed to teach him a good lesson.
The next day, before dawn, the Du family sent several people over.
They included Du Zhongshu’s father, Du Wenbin, a manager, two young boys, and two maids.
Du Wenbin first went to check on Du Zhongshu’s situation.
Presumably, Du Zhongshu told him about the poisoning suspect, and his face was not very pleasant the whole ti until he t Bai Ruozhu and her brother.
Then, he put away his stern look.
“Thank you both for saving Zhongshu.
My son and I are forever grateful.” Du Wenbin respectfully gave a salute to them.
Seeing that the person in front of him was an elder, Bai Zepei quickly stopped him saying, “Master Du, there’s no need to be so formal.”
“Since you and Zhongshu are classmates, you can just call uncle.” Du Wenbin said.
Just as Bai Zepei was about to agree, he heard Du Fuling’s scream from the next room, “Father, I’m going to die!”
