Chapter 631: Chapter 636 I Won’t Force You_1
During the conversation, Bai Yifan had already approached them, but several guards still looked at him with hostility in their eyes.
Bai Yifan said apologetically, "I’m sorry, everyone, the medicine was tampered with. This is the antidote. Please apply it quickly and cover it with the medicine from the green bottle to stop the bleeding. Those who are more seriously injured should also take a blood-replenishing pill from the red bottle."
"Young Master Bai, this medicine isn’t poisoned too, is it?" asked a guard, looking at Bai Yifan warily.
Without any hesitation, Bai Yifan cut his own arm with a dagger and then sprinkled some of the powder on it.
With his own demonstration, there were no more voices of doubt.
Bai Yifan stuffed the medicine into Qin Longyun’s hands and then ran towards the carriage.
Qiao Duo’er was consuming Lingzhi, which could accelerate the poison, making her the most at-risk person present.
Upon boarding the carriage, the scene of Tan Zhenghong feeding Duo’er with his blood caught Bai Yifan’s eye.
In that moment, he found it difficult even to breathe.
He had always believed he was not much different from Tan Zhenghong, but now he realized just how much they differed.
Tan Zhenghong had given all his hope of living to Qiao Duo’er, while he had brought her a potentially fatal disaster.
Therefore, he didn’t even have the right to love her!
A moment later, Bai Yifan regained his composure.
The mistake had been made; all he could do now was minimize the harm to others as much as possible.
"You need to stop the bleeding quickly, then take two more pills. Duo’er definitely won’t allow you to die," he said.
Bai Yifan gave Tan Zhenghong a share of the medicines, then turned all his attention to Qiao Duo’er.
First, he sealed Qiao Duo’er’s acupoints with silver needles, then fed her two detoxifying pills, applied the hemostatic medicine, and bandaged the wound—performing the whole process in one swift motion.
"How is my wife?" Tan Zhenghong asked anxiously.
"She lost too much blood, but with some care, she’ll be fine," answered Bai Yifan.
After explaining Qiao Duo’er’s condition, Bai Yifan jumped off the carriage. He wanted to stay with Duo’er, but there were others outside waiting for his help.
Tan Zhenghong carefully watched over Qiao Duo’er, hopeful for a miracle.
He also bore responsibility for the incident; wanting to stop the bleeding quickly, he had applied extra medicine powder on Duo’er. Had it not been for the large dose of poison, his wife certainly wouldn’t have fainted.
Once Duo’er woke up, she could punish him however she wanted.
"Mother, it really stopped bleeding!" exclaimed Da Ya excitedly.
"Does that mean Auntie and Mother won’t die as long as the bleeding stops?" Er Ya asked, full of hope.
Hu’s Clan nodded vigorously: "Yes, as long as there’s no bleeding, there’s no danger of death."
"Uncle, you’re also injured. Please sit down and rest. Er Ya and I can take good care of you."
Da Ya helped Tan Zhenghong to sit down.
Feeding water, administering medicine, and wiping sweat—she and Er Ya could handle it!
Before long, everyone’s wounds were properly treated. After a short rest, they resumed their journey.
"Third brother, don’t you have anything to say?" Qin Longyun asked, seemingly casually.
He didn’t want to interrogate Bai Yifan, but given the circumstances, he had to provide an explanation to everyone.
Bai Yifan smiled bitterly: "Big brother, it’s all due to my negligence. You don’t need to spare my feelings—whatever punishment I deserve, I have no objections."
"Are you truly unwilling to reveal the person who did this?" Qin Longyun asked, staring intently at Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan shook his head: "Who is there to blame? It was my mistake in mixing the medicines." 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"This is not the first time something like this has happened. If there is a next time, do you think Duo’er will be able to escape unscathed?"
At this question, Bai Yifan paused, his eyes full of struggle.
"I don’t want to press you, but you need to understand that Duo’er hasn’t provoked anyone," said Qin Longyun lightly, then fell silent.
The rest was up to Bai Yifan’s decision.
