Just upon entering the room, Lin Yuan almost stumbled from the strong, musty odor rushing to greet her.

Shui Xian quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and mouth.

In fact, Lin Yuan had often smelled this odor before back in Lin family valley, but since everyone at home was diligent, it was only noticeable during rainy weather.

To encounter such a stench on a clear day like this indicated how long the room had been left uncleaned.

Xiao Linshuang also furrowed her brows and told Yin Xing to open the windows to air out the room.

"No, no, Miss!" Xue Ge hurriedly stopped Yin Xing’s action with an air of utmost urgency, "Sister said, Miss has caught a cold which has led to a rash, and she must not be exposed to the draft, otherwise, otherwise her life might be at risk!"

"Who said that?" Xiao Linshuang raised her eyebrow, her little nose wrinkling in irritation. Although she had just entered the room, she didn’t smell anything that would suggest a rash was present.

Should the patient truly have developed a rash, especially without anyone to help clean it, there would surely be some foul stench emanating from the body. However, there was only a musty smell in this room, no offensive odor.

Xue Ge was taken aback by her questioning, "It was, it was Sister Rong who serves beside Madam who said so."

Xiao Linshuang shook her head, somewhat guessing that this Sister Rong might be the old pious woman who had come to hassle her.

Lin Yuan was also shocked by this Sister Rong, but this wasn’t the same Sister Rong; otherwise, she would have suspected that the person lying on the bed was not Han Huijuan, but Zi Wei.

In the midst of her contemplation, Xiao Linshuang had already approached the bedside to check on the person lying there with eyes closed.

Sure enough, the person had a pale complexion dotted with red spots, the lips were turning purple, and there was remnant of something suspicious that was not properly cleaned nearby the mouth, clearly indicating recent vomiting.

After prying open the eyes to look and checking the pulse, Xiao Linshuang humphed coldly, "What cold? It’s clear she’s been poisoned!"

Poisoned?!

Xue Ge was momentarily dumbfounded. How could a perfectly fine person get poisoned?

"Poisoned? Miss, Miss!" Xue Ge collapsed weakly to the ground, clinging to Han Huijuan’s arm and breaking into tears. Such a young girl, barely eight or nine years old, to have encountered such an ordeal, it truly was too much for her.

Shui Xian and Yin Xing quickly came to help her aside, while Xiao Linshuang also stood up.

"How is it? Can you tell what poison it is? Is there a way to detoxify her?" Although Lin Yuan didn’t have much of a connection with Han Huijuan, now that she had come, she couldn’t just watch a live being be so devastated.

"Alas!" Xiao Linshuang shook her head and sighed, sitting down on a chair nearby, her face filled with difficulty, "This is hard to say. We still don’t know what poison she has ingested. We need to check everything she has eaten or drunk recently. But looking at her complexion, she must have been poisoned for quite some time, I’m afraid. .."

"Miss! Miss!" Xue Ge’s crying, which had just quieted down, suddenly surged again, and she knelt on the ground refusing to get up, "This Miss, I beg you to save my young mistress! She’s all alone with no one to help her in the house.

Please save her for the sake of the friendship between the two of you! "

Xiao Linshuang blinked, seemingly deep in thought.

Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes, slightly speechless, "Little sister! I had you learn medicine from Lao Fan to save people, not to pick up his scare tactics! Stop beating around the bush, I know you can save her, hurry it up!"

Xiao Linshuang pouted her lips and hopped off the chair.

Indeed, she could cure Han Huijuan’s poisoning, and it was simple.

Perhaps it was because of the time she spent with Lao Fan that she picked up some of his bad habits.

This was just like how Lao Fan used to deal with Lady Liu’s illness, exaggerating the severity of the condition to the skies and then declaring he could cure it, to showcase his remarkable medical skills.

Xiao Linshuang had just followed suit, imitating this behavior. However, Lin Yuan was her sister; a mere blink from the young girl and she knew exactly what was on her mind.

"There’s indeed no poison in the world that I can’t cure, but well, I wasn’t entirely exaggerating just now. We do need to clarify what caused her poisoning. Otherwise, finding an antidote will involve a lot of trial and error, and we might waste precious time."

Lin Yuan understood this reasoning. She nodded and quickly asked Xue Ge what Han Huijuan had eaten and drunk before she was poisoned.
