Chapter 154: Removing The Poison
As the sky lit up outside, the sun gradually rose high in the sky and cast its light on Liu Sanniang. She seemed to be bathed in Buddhist light at this moment.
Mr. Xu rubbed his eyes and opened them. He had fallen asleep at some point. Seeing this scene, he looked shocked. His lips moved and he muttered a word silently: Buddha.
Miao Zhen, who was on the verge of death, also looked at Liu Sanniang, who was bathed in the light, with a shocked expression. Her turbid eyes were filled with disbelief.
How was that possible? How could Liu Sanniang take away everything she had? What right did she have to do that?
Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang and roared. “Give it back to me.”
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and looked at Miao Zhen. “Why should I give back to you what shouldn’t be yours in the first place? Your son and grandson lived in this world at the cost of many lives.”
Miao Zhen broke down.
Mr. Xu came back to his senses and said excitedly, “Miss Liu, you’re finally awake. It’s been two nights.”
Liu Sanniang smiled at Mr. Xu. “I already know how to remove the poison. I’ll remove it for Xu Xue now.”
It was actually not difficult to remove the poison. All she needed was a drop of blood from the poisoner.
Miao Zhen glared at Liu Sanniang and spat out. “I curse you to die a horrible death.”
Liu Sanniang glanced at Miao Zhen indifferently. She did not care about Miao Zhen’s curse.
She just believed what she wanted to believe.
No matter how powerful someone was, they should not use the lives of others to achieve a certain end.
Liu Sanniang grabbed Miao Zhen’s hand and said, “Uncle Xu, go get the knife.”
Mr. Xu immediately ran to get a knife. Liu Sanniang cut open Miao Zhen’s finger, and black blood dripped out. Liu Sanniang released her power and the black blood turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Liu Sanniang stretched out her hand, and the drop of blood landed on her palm, like a red pearl.
Liu Sanniang stood up and walked away. Xu Xue had yet to wake up. Liu Sanniang placed the drop of blood between her eyebrows.
Mr. Xu watched the scene nervously.
Soon, a small bump appeared on Xu Xue’s face. The bump slowly moved towards the blood between her eyebrows.
Soon, it reached where the blood was. A small worm emerged from the drop of blood and quickly sucked it dry. The worm turned from white to red. After sucking it dry, the worm wanted to crawl back to Xu Xue’s body through the small wound.
However, Liu Sanniang had already reached out and grabbed the worm. She took it to the courtyard and threw it on the ground.
The worm that left the human body began to twist crazily and soon died.
Miao Zhen cursed angrily. “All of you will die a horrible death.”
Mr. Xu’s veins bulged on his forehead. He said angrily, “You’re the one who deserves to die the most. You came to the village decades ago. Your medical skills are extraordinary. All of us respect you. But what about you? For your son and grandson, who shouldn’t exist, you killed so many people. Zhang Tianyou shouldn’t have existed in the first place. Every time he was seriously ill, someone would die in the village. No one thought about this. Now, it seems that their lives were taken away by you. People like you will die a horrible death!”
“You are the most vicious person in the world.”
Mr. Xu’s chest kept rising and falling. He had never been so angry before.
Miao Zhen looked at Mr. Xu in a daze. “I took their lives but I gave them wealth. It’s fair.”
The villagers wanted to come back from the sea with a full load every time. She had granted them what they wished for, so of course, they had to give her something in return.
Mr. Xu was furious. How could she still speak so righteously after killing so many people?
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Let go of her. She won’t live for long. Whether she’s right or wrong will be judged by the heavens.”
Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. She indeed did not have many days left to live. The heavens were unfair, else why would she be treated like this?
Mr. Xu thought about it and agreed. He believed in Liu Sanniang. Since she said so, he went to untie Miao Zhen.
When Xu Xue woke up, she looked around and called out. “Dad.”
When Mr. Xu heard Xu Xue’s voice, he immediately returned to her room.
Xu Xue looked at Mr. Xu in confusion. “Dad, I think I had a dream.”
Mr. Xu’s eyes turned red. “Xue, are you feeling better?”
Xu Xue frowned. “Dad, why did you ask that? What happened to me?”
Xu Xue rubbed her eyebrows. Many images appeared in her mind and gradually became clear. Her face turned pale. “Father, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Granny Miao poisoned me and asked me to marry Zhang Tianyou.”
Mr. Xu sighed. “Xue, that was not a dream. It’s real. Fortunately, you met Miss Liu and she saved you. The poison has been removed.”
Xu Xue was shocked and afraid.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Xu Xue and her father quickly came out of the house. Xu Xue looked at Liu Sanniang and before she could thank her, she heard a voice from outside. “Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, open the door.”
It was Chen Wen. He knocked on the door anxiously, as if there was something urgent.
Xu Xue recalled what she had been doing recently and immediately ran to open the door. Her eyes were red. The moment she opened the door, she saw a person on Chen Wen’s back. It was Zhang Tianyou.
Zhang Tianyou said to Xu Xue, “Xue, tell him to leave, tell him you don’t love him, tell him to give up, and tell him you will marry me in two days.”
Xu Xue took a step back and thought of what she had done after being poisoned. She was extremely angry. She looked at Zhang Tianyou and said, “Zhang Tianyou, you should be the one to leave. The love poison has been removed. I’m no longer your puppet.”
Zhang Tianyou’s face turned pale and he panicked instantly. His voice was trembling. “Where’s my grandma? Where’s my grandma?”
“Looks like someone took care of it before me. Let me see who did it.”
Xia Qiluo pushed Xu Xue away and walked into the Xu family’s courtyard. When she saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan, she couldn’t help but exclaim. “It’s you guys!”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo and couldn’t remember her.
Chu Yan only had eyes for Liu Sanniang. He did not seem to hear Xia Qiluo’s voice. Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and squeezed it. “Are you hungry?”
Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed. She had not eaten for a long time and was indeed a little hungry, but now was not the time to eat.
Xia Qiluo looked at Chu Yan and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She remembered that this man ate things that the women didn’t want. Although she despised him for doing that, she felt a little envious when she saw that in his eyes, there was only one person.
