Chapter 559 Zi Shao, Whose Complexion Changed Due to Poisoning
A large group of people began to move, and soon Ye Shengge saw Zi Yisheng. She hurried to take his pulse and give him medicine. The poison in him was much more serious than Ouyang's, and he would require further treatment.
"Shengge, how is Yisheng?"
"He was just one step away from death, but he still needs to continue detoxifying."
Ye Huaijin helped his daughter out, and Zi Yisheng was carried out shortly after. Outside, a pile of people lay side by side, and she even saw the legendary ancestor of the Baili family.
"How is he?"
"He's dead."
Ye Huaijin's face was filled with disgust; the old man was simply too unsightly.
Ye Shengge walked over to confirm again. Such a legendary figure might still have some tricks up his sleeve. There was no pulse or heartbeat, but she still felt uneasy.
"Dad, give him two more shots, aimed at the head."
Ye Huaijin fired two shots directly at his brow without hesitation.
"Daughter, quickly check these few old fellows. Some of them are still useful."
Ye Shengge was speechless. There were still people from their families here; couldn't he speak more tactfully?
After checking everyone's pulse, it was found that two older individuals were still in critical condition. Medicine and acupuncture were administered, and even those with minor issues would need to take medicine for a period to detoxify properly.
Zi Yisheng had already been arranged in a room to lie down. His entire body had turned discolored due to the poison. If he weren't still breathing, he would have looked like a corpse from a distance.
After Ye Shengge finished attending to everyone, she entered the room to continue his treatment. She also gave him plenty of well water, but tears were falling from her eyes.
Asen and a few others busied themselves with assisting. Seeing this scene, their noses also felt a sting. The relationship between Young Master Zi and his wife was something they had witnessed all along. They had never seen a couple with a better relationship, one that had never even argued.
After finishing everything, Ye Shengge stayed by his side. She had not yet received permission from her father to return home, and the sounds of explosions could still be heard from outside from time to time.
Seeing that it was past five o'clock, the children had been confined for several hours. The only oversight was not preparing small urinals, so they might have had to relieve themselves wherever they could.
It wasn't until seven in the evening that Father Ye walked in, his face a little pale. After all, he hadn't rested at all since being injured. Ye Shengge quickly took another cup of well water from her bag and handed it to him, also giving him two pieces of chocolate to replenish his energy.
"Daughter, the situation outside is basically under control now. You take Yisheng home first. I will send another team to guard the area. For the next two days, no one is to leave without notification from me and your elder brother personally."
"Okay, you and elder brother must be careful, especially about your injuries."
Ye Huaijin rubbed his daughter's head. His daughter was truly thoughtful.
Zi Yisheng was placed in a truck to lie down, and Ye Shengge accompanied him. The truck bed was tightly covered with canvas, and a dozen cars escorted the truck as they left.
When Ye Shengge got out of the car, she saw that there was no trace of any fighting around the house; the ground was covered in water. After seeing her husband sent to his room, she hurried to find the children.
When she saw Gu Miao guarding the entrance to the treasure vault, the anticipation in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"They are all safe."
"That's good, that's good. The children were very obedient; I only heard a few sounds."
Gu Miao quickly moved aside, and Ye Shengge smilingly unlocked the layers of locks. The little ones were very sensible and obedient.
"Is that Mom?"
"It's Mom. Stand aside, I'll open the door and it might hit you."
"It's Mom, hurry and move aside."
"Mom, I miss you so much."
The door opened quickly, and before Ye Shengge could bend down, she was hugged by the legs by the three children. She could only pat each of their heads.
"You were all very good. How about Mom takes you to eat first?"
"Wuwuwu, Mom, I almost wet my pants from being held in for so long."
Little Mier climbed onto her mother's body and began to cry about her grievances and embarrassment today.
"Yes, everyone quickly go to the restroom first. It's my fault for not making proper arrangements."
"Wah~~ I've already peed inside the room and exposed my bottom in front of the boys."
Ye Shengge suppressed a laugh. She had previously instructed her daughter not to use the restroom with the boys.
"It's okay, it's okay. This was a special situation, and it won't happen again."
Little Youyou held onto his mother's clothes tightly, looking very insecure.
Gu Ning stood beside his father, looking at the scene with envy. Gu Miao pretended not to see it; he couldn't make up for his son's deficiencies in this area and sometimes had to let him adapt and bear it himself.
Ye Shengge took the three children to wash first; after a day of turmoil, none of them were clean. After accompanying them for dinner and putting them to bed, she was so tired she could barely hold her head up.
Acan saw this and quickly helped her back to her room. Upon seeing Young Master Zi, who had been cleaned up, he spoke.
"Madam, why don't I stay and take care of Young Master Zi tonight? You can go sleep in the next room and get a good night's rest."
"No need. He won't wake up tonight. By the way, has Master come to check on him?"
Acan helped her to a small sofa by the bed and brought her a bowl of medicine.
"Elder Fan has already re-acupuncture for Young Master Zi, but the medicine hasn't been brewed yet. Aunt Zhen prepared your medicine for you early on. Hurry and drink it while it's hot."
After drinking the medicine, Ye Shengge sent him away. She needed to recover in the space.
Lying in the bathtub in the space, she cleared her mind. She didn't want to think about what happened today anymore. She soaked for a full hour before recovering half of her energy. When she emerged from the space, she lay in her husband's arms, breathing in the familiar scent, and finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
The safety hazard had not been completely eliminated. At home, apart from the women and children, no one else slept. They just had to endure a few more days.
Ye Shengge slept until noon the next day. She was woken by the movement beside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man, whose face was still bluish, smiling at her, holding a few of her hairs and tickling her.
"You scoundrel."
Tears immediately welled up in Ye Shengge's eyes, and she raised her fist to hit him a few times.
Zi Yisheng stopped smiling and pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart aching.
"I'm sorry, there were some unexpected circumstances yesterday."
"Were they just some circumstances? Do you know that if you had been five minutes later, you would have died? What would happen to me and the children if something happened to you?"
Zi Yisheng kissed the tears from his wife's face one by one. His heart felt like it was being gouged out.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I didn't give up on living even at the last moment. I absolutely will not abandon you."
To distract his wife, he recounted everything that had happened at Hongyu Pavilion yesterday, deliberately downplaying the dangerous moments.
Ye Shengge truly felt her heart clench. Thinking that her father had removed Baili Qi's fake skin without communicating with Zi Yisheng first, she felt both angry and fortunate. Although it was dangerous and impulsive, without her father's actions, they might not have reached the final step yesterday. Sometimes, if you don't fight, how will you know if you can win?
In fact, Baili Qi himself had been impulsive yesterday, hadn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't have crushed her little pet to death. If he hadn't, perhaps he wouldn't be dead yet, or at least his sentencing time would have been extended by a few days.
"Are you sure everything is over?"
"Yes. In the next few days, when our father and elder brother eliminate those who still don't know Elder Yan is dead and are trying to emerge, everything will be over."
"Is Elder Yan really dead? Did you send people to search for the body?"
"The people from the First Mansion will search. The most important thing now is how to announce Elder Yan's death to the public in a few days. Even if the body is found, it cannot appear in public view, and the foolish things from previous years are also not easy to explain."
Sometimes, the concealment of certain information was for the stability of the country, so Elder Yan's matter was indeed difficult to handle.
"Get up. Not eating on time is the biggest nemesis to your health. From now on, I must resolutely carry out my supervisory duty."
Zi Yisheng could move, but he couldn't get out of bed and walk. It was unclear if the poison had affected his legs. Ye Shengge had checked him again. He would be able to move normally after a few more days of medication, but he would still need at least another month of medication for recovery.
The appearance of Ye Shengge caused the children to rush into the bedroom, surrounding their father to admire him.
"Daddy, you've become ugly."
Little Mier was extremely sensitive to appearance; she only liked to interact with people who were good-looking. Therefore, her father, who was not good-looking in the family, was now the object of her dislike.
Zi Yisheng knew his daughter's personality too well. He reached out and slapped her buttocks a few times.
"You're already disliking me now. If I get old, will you send me far away?"
"No way. By then, you and Mom will both be ugly, and I won't dislike you when I compare you."
Zi Yisheng was amused to the point of anger. Was she looking for comfort in a crowd of ugly people?
"Daddy, are you injured?"
Little Youyou, being a few years older, saw his father's condition and knew this was not a joke.
"Yes, Daddy was accidentally bitten by a venomous snake, so he needs to drink some medicine and rest for a few days to get better."
"Snake? How did Daddy go to a place with snakes? You're too disobedient. Mom said not to go to dangerous places."
Zi Yisheng wanted to throw his precious daughter out for the first time. This child had a mouth that offended people and would definitely get him into a lot of trouble just by talking in the future.
"Alright, let Daddy rest for a while. You all go eat."
Ye Shengge finished washing up and heard her daughter's infuriating words. She could only helplessly drive them away, lest it worsen her husband's condition.
"Mom, can I eat with Daddy? I can also ask what the snake that bit Daddy looked like, so I can tell my classmates to be more careful when I go to school."
"Who's outside? Come in and take Zi Mier away."
Acan stifled a laugh and pushed the door open. He quickly picked her up and left, already impressed by Mier's ability to cause trouble.
"Daddy, you rest well. I'll come back to keep you company later."
"Daddy is fine with Mom accompanying him. You go with your sister."
Zi Yisheng didn't want to see anyone right now. He would see people when his face returned to normal. He was so angry.
Little Youyou pouted. He was just taking his anger out on him. He had a temper too, didn't he? If he told him to leave, he would leave!
