Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 266

Chapter 266: 266

Shen Miaomiao was no longer mindful of the social norms between men and women, her mind had already turned into a mess.

All that appeared in her mind was the image of Nanzhi on the brink of death two years ago.

Liao Da had carried Nanzhi to the Medical Hall first. When they arrived, Wang Jingzhi was reviewing medical texts.

Seeing someone entering the Medical Hall, he had just lifted his head to see that Liao Da had already put Nanzhi, who he had carried on his back, onto the sickbed.

"Doctor, doctor, quickly take a look at our young miss. She suddenly... suddenly became like this." Liao Da, panting heavily, pointed at Nanzhi, who was unconscious with her eyes closed on the sickbed. When he saw that it was Wang Jingzhi, he hesitated for a moment.

He remembered this youth coming to the restaurant for lunch earlier in the day.

"Young miss, we’ve arrived." Aze spoke softly, carrying Shen Miaomiao to the entrance of the Medical Hall.

Shen Miaomiao stood on the ground, only then managing to express her gratitude: "Tha- thank you."

As her words fell, Shen Miaomiao quickly entered the Medical Hall. Seeing Wang Jingzhi on duty for the night, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Brother Jingzhi, quickly take a look at Sister Nanzhi, quickly see what’s wrong with her." The little girl’s legs were still weak, and as she spoke, her tears pitter-pattered onto the ground, making her look absolutely pitiful.

Wang Jingzhi nodded, lifted Nanzhi’s eyelids for examination, then extended his hand to take her pulse. However, when his fingers touched her wrist, his pupils suddenly widened.

After looking at Shen Miaomiao who was sobbing inconsolably, he ran off to the backyard.

A pulse with no root.

He would need to ask his master to come over.

Master Sun had just closed his medical book and was preparing to rest when he heard the knocking on the door from his young disciple.

"Master, there’s a patient at the front." Wang Jingzhi’s voice was somewhat urgent, slightly loud.

Master Sun paused. His young disciple was very talented and could already diagnose patients independently, could it be a complicated and difficult case?

"Master, that person is the one who saved my life. She was fine this morning. I just took her pulse and found a pulse with no root..."

Wang Jingzhi pursed his lips, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Hearing his words, Master Sun was somewhat surprised. He didn’t even bother to put on his coat and just slipped into his shoes and walked out of the room, "Let’s go."

By the time Master Sun hurried to the front hall, Shen Miaomiao had already sent Aze to the Lin Family.

Given Sister Nanzhi’s critical condition, it was necessary to notify the Lin Family in advance.

Seeing Master Sun appear, Shen Miaomiao, as if seeing a lifesaver, pleaded urgently: "Master Sun, please save my sister."

"You rest first, I’ll take a look. Don’t worry." Master Sun looked at Nanzhi, whose face was pale without a hint of blood, and frowned. When he extended his hand to take her pulse, he also became somewhat confused.

Although the girl’s face was pale and bloodless, she didn’t look like someone on the brink of death. Her pulse was weak, but there were signs of it gradually strengthening.

Even though he had been a doctor for decades, he had never seen such a strange illness.

Seeing Master Sun frown, Liao Da’s heart thumped. Master Sun was one of the top doctors in Yan City. Now that he was frowning, could it be that something grave had happened to his young miss?

"Jingzhi, go find Old Qian."

Master Sun withdrew his hand and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master." Wang Jingzhi draped the coat he was holding over his master and then hurried to the backyard to find Old Qian.

Old Qian’s room was quite far away. The first to wake up to the knock on the door was Old Qian’s disciple.

"Jingzhi? What are you doing here looking for my master in the middle of the night?" Rubbing his eyes, the man was somewhat puzzled.

It was Wang Jingzhi’s turn to be on duty tonight. If a patient had come, he should have asked Master Sun to take a look. Why was he coming to find his own master?

"My master asked me to find Old Qian. A patient has come to the Medical Hall and her pulse is unstable." Wang Jingzhi had already gone into the room before he finished speaking. Although the man would have liked to stop him, Jingzhi had already barged in.

"You’re being disrespectful!"

"A life is at stake, propriety can’t save lives!"

"Jingzhi, let’s go, I’m already dressed." Old Qian wasn’t a person who slept early and usually spent the night tossing and turning restlessly before falling asleep.

Just hearing Wang Jingzhi’s words, he quickly got up, put on his shoes, and dashed outside, completely disregarding his own distraught apprentice.

"Master!"

His apprentice was equally upset and anxious. His master’s health hasn’t been good for a while now, with daily exertion and insomnia adding to his woes. And yet, he still insists on creating such a ruckus!

Bearing his indignation, he could only head towards the small kitchen. His master would surely have another bout of insomnia upon his return, and he ought to prepare some hot soup for him.

With a puzzled look, the elder Qian sat by the patient’s bedside, checking Nanzhi’s pulse.

The patient’s pulse was steady, but why she couldn’t wake up was something he couldn’t place.

The only thing he could perceive was that the young girl was conscious and could hear the surrounding noises.

Her pulse was steady and her consciousness clear, yet she remained unresponsive.

After listening to the young girl’s account, he found it indeed odd,

"Acupuncture." Elder Qian stroked his beard and suggested to Elder Sun.

Elder Sun nodded, signaling Wang Jingzhi to bring the silver needles.

When Aze arrived at the Lin family’s residence, they had not yet gone to bed.

They were waiting in the living room for Nanzhi’s return.

Hearing a knock at the door, Shen Zhiyu was the first to run out. She tip-toed to reach for the door handle, but opened it only to find a panting young man instead of her mother.

She recognized this older brother, he was one of the assistants at her mom’s restaurant.

"Zhiyu, has your mother returned?" Lin Yicheng, not seeing his niece’s reaction, leaned in to ask.

Little Zhiyu shook her head, looking somewhat disconsolate.

"Brother Lin, something, something happened to our boss!" Aze managed to say, catching his breath from all the running.

"What happened to Nanzhi?" Lin Yicheng asked in a hurry. Zhiyu, standing to the side, looked even more perplexed.

Something’s happened to mom?

She had held him in her arms at noon. His tutor had praised him today.

He wanted to tell mom...

"Our boss is at the medical hall right now. Boss Shen asked me to get you there," Aze said quickly, having caught his breath.

"Eldest brother? What’s going on? Isn’t he one of the folks at Nanzhi’s restaurant? What’s happened?"

Mother Lin’s eyelid twitched; she ran over, only to see Aze standing panting at the doorstep.

"Something’s happened to Nanzhi. She’s at the medical hall. Mom, I’m going with him," said Lin Yicheng, wanting to leave with Aze but being held back by Shen Zhiyu.

"Uncle, uncle, take Zhiyu with you. Zhiyu wants to go find mom!" The little boy, tears brimming in his large eyes, said with a pout.

"Zhiyu, be good, stay home with your brother," Mother Lin tried to hold her grandson, but he wriggled free.

Seeing that their little nephew was about to burst into tears, Lin Ercheng quickly picked him up.

"Mom, our Zhiyu is a little lucky star. I’ll take him with us. You all just wait at home, everything will be fine."

After Lin Ercheng finished speaking, he hurried off with Aze.

"Wife, what’s happened?" Father Lin asked, hesitating at his wife’s disoriented demeanor.

"Our chubby girl is at the medical hall, something’s happened," Mother Lin replied, wiping her tears.

"What are you waiting for, then? Let’s hurry to the medical hall!" Father Lin came to his senses and hurried out, followed by Mother Lin, leaving only their daughters-in-law and grandson at home.

All the way there, little Zhiyu held back his tears, looking determined.

But as soon as he arrived at the medical hall and saw Nanzhi lying on the bed, he immediately burst into tears.

"Mom—"
