CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: AM I... AM I CURED??

Upon seeing Ruan Mian, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"Mother! Ruan Mian didn’t care about me. As soon as I woke up, they were gone! Luckily I remembered the way back, or I wouldn’t have made it. They bullied me too much!" Liu Family’s face changed slightly, but before she could step forward, Ruan Mian had already walked up to Qi Lin.

Without hesitation, she slapped her twice!

The sound was crisp, and Qi Lin was dumbfounded, holding her swollen face as tears streamed down.

Liu Family immediately stepped forward, but before she could speak, Ruan Mian’s gaze turned cold, making as if to strike her, scaring her to retreat repeatedly.

At this point, Ruan Mian gave them no face.

"These two slaps are what you deserve. Do you really think I don’t know why the bandit returned to take my elder sister after taking you?"

Hearing this, Qi Lin’s face turned pale, and she dared not say another word.

Liu Family hurriedly took Qi Lin away to prevent the scene from escalating and embarrassing them further, knowing that at this moment, they couldn’t confront Ruan Mian.

Later, Qi Nanfeng also returned. He couldn’t believe how different Ruan Mian was from what he imagined.

While pondering, Liu Family couldn’t help but complain to him, "Where were you?? That little harlot slapped your sister in public, causing our Qi Mansion to lose face. You must stand up for your mother and sister."

At this moment, Qi Nanfeng only felt that the two women in the house were exceedingly foolish!

If only they had been a little attentive, they wouldn’t have failed to notice what kind of person Ruan Mian was for the past three years.

If they had realized earlier that Ruan Mian was capable, then he wouldn’t have gone south and encountered all those vexing matters. Perhaps he could have flown together with her, living comfortably off the Ruan Family’s wealth!

Then he wouldn’t be caught up in this court struggle, becoming a pawn to be manipulated.

Thinking of this, he regretted deeply and was also angry!!

If... Ruan Mian really had such extraordinary abilities, perhaps there was still an opportunity for himself?

Liu Family saw her son silent, exasperated to the point of losing her voice.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhang held Ruan Mian’s hands for a long time, unwilling to let go, still overcome with fear: "It’s good that you are safe, nothing else matters."

If anything had happened to those two sisters, Mrs. Zhang feared she would lose hope of giving birth.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

The government officer feared the bandits might return, so they urged everyone to head down the mountain quickly throughout the night.

After that terrifying moment, everyone quickened their pace, wishing to run down the mountain.

However, within an hour, Nanny Fang ran to Ruan Mian in panic, exclaiming: "It’s not good, Miss!! The master, he’s foaming at the mouth and convulsing uncontrollably! You must come and see!"

Upon hearing this, the brother walking beside Ruan Mian immediately ran forward.

Ruan Mian followed closely.

On the carriage, Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Zhang sat together. Now Mrs. Zhang was frightened out of her wits, supporting Mr. Ruan’s head anxiously.

Mr. Ruan’s face was pale.

"Qingsong! Mianmian! Your father... your father..."

"Mother! Don’t worry!"

Ruan Qingsong stepped forward to take Mr. Ruan, though he was also immensely nervous, he was the pillar of the family and could not afford to lose composure.

So he called to Nanny Fang outside the carriage.

"Nanny, please get some water, and... Mianmian! Did we bring medicine in our luggage?"

Seeing the situation, Ruan Mian stepped forward: "Mother, Brother, leave this to me. You two go down, find Cui Zhu to bring my water bag, and also inform the government officer to stop for a while, don’t let anyone approach the carriage!"

Ruan Qingsong was a bit puzzled, but his sister’s firm attitude filled him with trust.

Understanding there was no time to delay, he took his mother down, and they each went to make preparations.

Ruan Mian frowned. Although she was not skilled in medicine, she had studied for a while.

Having lived in a closed-off post-apocalyptic world, she had to be self-sufficient in everything.

At least she had no problem with basic pharmacological knowledge.

Moreover, the original owner also had memories of many medical books. She used to enjoy reading them during her widowhood at the Qi Mansion.

She checked her father, seeing his symptoms, it was highly likely he consumed something harmful.

But now was not the time to investigate, it was crucial to act quickly.

Ruan Mian unhesitatingly touched the Jade Bracelet, entered the space and took out a bottle of medicine, which was conducive to inducing vomiting.

She fed a spoon of the medicine powder, and it had an immediate effect.

Ruan Mian quickly took a basin from the carriage, and Mr. Ruan vomited continuously, his face turning bright red.

At this moment, she recalled the condition of the White Tiger, had an inspiration, and once again entered the space, scooping some stream water, hurriedly feeding it to him.

By this time, the carriage had stopped, and Cui Zhu quickly arrived with the water bag, assisting from the side.

Outside the carriage, the Ruan Family was anxious, even others gathered to see the spectacle and discussed.

"What’s happened to Mr. Ruan?"

Liu Family, with a sharp voice, said, "He was originally a sickly person, must have inhaled the bandits’ drugs!!"

Others found this somewhat plausible, as some of them were still feeling muddled and weak themselves.

Ruan Qingsong was no fool, immediately refuting: "Everyone here was drugged, but nothing happened to us! My father’s health is not that poor."

The old woman beside Liu Family spoke up: "Does Young Master Ruan mean someone deliberately harmed your father? Such words cannot be spoken lightly, otherwise, are you suggesting everyone here is a suspect?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone immediately sided with Liu Family: "It must be due to the bandits’ drugs."

Because no one wanted to be wrongfully accused.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ruan regained some consciousness, clutching Ruan Mian’s arm tightly, and whispered with difficulty.

"Mian... Mianmian... Father knows you are steady and meticulous. Now that I’m like this, I don’t want to burden you anymore. I have something to give you."

Ruan Mian wanted to console him, but before she knew it, he had taken a key from his waist.

He whispered to her: "In the cellar of the old residence, there’s a map of the Ruan Family’s ancestral mining sites and some family property, now I... entrust them to you. Mianmian, you must protect your mother, you..."

Ruan Mian didn’t expect such important things would be given to her.

But now was not the time to leave last words.

"Father! You’ll be fine, haven’t you noticed you’re feeling much better?"

Mr. Ruan sighed deeply, "With my sick bones, you... don’t comfort me anymore. Look, I even see King Yama’s head poking out, I just can’t rest easy leaving your mother, your mother she... ah!!"

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Mian pinched him hard, causing Mr. Ruan to sit up in pain.

The next moment, he was in shock: "I...I’m better??"

He found he even had the strength to sit up, feeling entirely relieved, the previous nausea and discomfort had vanished.

Sure enough, Ruan Mian guessed correctly.

The stream water from the space was the so-called Spiritual Spring System from the novels she read.

It had the effect of healing and strengthening the body, also ensured better growth of crops planted in the space.

No wonder the injured tiger became gentle after entering, and its wounds healed, while the cotton seeds planted earlier germinated and grew rapidly.

Now Mr. Ruan had fully recovered, even healthier than before.

He was greatly astonished: "Mianmian, when did you learn medicine? Father thought he had little time left, almost saw that Yama!"
