Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 297: Nanyang Shixin Fruit

Pei Yushu wore a light pink garment today, draped with a pale purple shawl, which complemented her jade-like skin, making her appear especially tender, with a veil on her face adding a touch of mystery.

"Sister Yushu, come, let me take you to meet my master!"

Long Yue held Pei Yushu’s hand, she merely smiled faintly, and reached up to touch her veil: "Actually, it’s quite alright as it is now."

Long Yue understood that she didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself, but she also knew that she longed to restore her appearance, harboring a bit of hope, or she wouldn’t have come to her the very next day.

...

Yangxin Residence, Duanmu Nan looked at the young girl opposite him.

The girl slightly lowered her head, both hands resting on the hem of her skirt, gently kneading with her fingers, appearing very uneasy and nervous.

Duanmu Nan gave a gentle smile and said, "Relax, stretch out your hand, let me have a look."

Pei Yushu was seeing such a young doctor for the first time, feeling a bit scared, uneasy, wanting to leave, but with Long Yue nearby, she couldn’t lose face, so she forced a smile and extended her hand.

"Master, wasn’t she burned? Why take her pulse?"

Long Yue was curious; shouldn’t he be looking at her facial scars and prescribing medication? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Duanmu Nan smiled and said, "Let’s first check her constitution; certain medicines aren’t suitable for her. Everyone’s physical condition is different, and they require different medications."

"Ah, I understand, thank you for your guidance, Master!"

"Hmm, her constitution is rather cold, overly cooling ones aren’t good. Yue’er, she’s similar to you, both have cold constitutions, making it hard to conceive in the future, but she has been this way since childhood, her symptoms are lighter than yours."

"So... should we prescribe her some medicine too?"

Long Yue asked tentatively.

"Certainly! Younger sister, go fetch the medicine! Also, ask this young lady to remove her veil."

Pei Yushu nodded gently.

The recent analysis by Duanmu Nan made Pei Yushu realize he is a skilled doctor. After dealing with illness for long, she had seen many famous doctors, and just by listening to them speak, she could tell if they were capable.

This Mr. Duanmu is indeed competent!

She awkwardly removed her veil.

"Burns are mostly fire toxins, suitable for cooling and heat-clearing, but your body is cold; my medicine needs a bit of precision, Yue’er come help!"

"Ah?"

Long Yue, perhaps staring off into space, was slightly stunned when Duanmu Nan called her, then suddenly realized, exclaimed in surprise: "Master, Sister Yushu’s injury can be healed?"

"Hmm!" He responded, with a faint smile, "Why, don’t want to heal it? Surprised?"

"Ah, yes, yes, of course yes, Sister Yushu, did you hear? My master said your facial injury can be healed, wait a bit, I’ll go assist the master right away!"

Long Yue spoke without waiting for Pei Yushu to react, hurriedly following him inside.

Pei Yushu gazed at her disappearing figure behind the curtain, slightly dazed.

What did she just hear? It can be healed?

Heavens! That’s by far the best news she’s heard, not just now, but in this lifetime, nothing could be better!

Because of her overwhelming excitement, her body trembled slightly.

She pinched her thigh hard, and until a sharp pain surged through her, she confirmed, this wasn’t a dream! After all, she had dreamt of it countless times!

"My... my face can recover? No, I must stay calm, it might fail again..."

She took deep breaths, striving to calm her emotions.

Having experienced too much failure, she had become somewhat numb.

Therefore, she felt she shouldn’t trust it overly.

However, her heart always fantasizes about how she’d look if her appearance were to recover...

It’s a truly conflicted issue.

The waiting is long, painful, unclear how long she waited until Long Yue emerged from inside, she sprang up.

"Yue’er..."

"Here, take this, it’s the ointment Master formulated, apply it once daily, cover with gauze, do you want to apply it here, or go home?"

This question was for her to decide, since applying medicine here, wrapped like a dumpling, would probably draw many curious stares along the way, even with a carriage it’s troublesome, since the carriage curtains would let the wind in!

Pei Yushu bit her red lip, looking at the white-clad man who followed out from behind.

"Mr. Duanmu, could... you apply the medicine for me first?"

Duanmu Nan nodded, extending his hand: "Please, sit."

Long Yue stood obediently to the side, assisting.

Yun Jin walked out with three medicine packets, noticing the scene of them helping each other apply medicine, her gaze slightly dazed.

A ridiculous thought of how well-matched they seemed surged in her mind.

She was startled by her own idea, hurriedly shaking her head, dismissing these chaotic thoughts, placing the medicine packets on the table.

For some reason, she approached, saying, "Brother, let me help!"

Duanmu Nan gently waved his hand: "No need, almost done."

Yun Jin’s smile stiffened, her eyes showing a hint of loneliness.

After about another quarter of an hour, everything was properly handled, to see if she’d have any allergic reactions, Duanmu Nan asked them to stay a little while longer.

Taking this opportunity, Long Yue ran to Duanmu Nan’s room, her face full of mystery: "Master, I..."

"Hmm?"

"There’s something I’d like to ask you about!"

Duanmu Nan’s smile was gentler than before, "Tell me."

"Master, when we attended the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet this time, we saw two lychee trees at the feast, and the lychees hanging on them were vividly red, hmm... completely red, particularly so, very different from common lychee trees bearing fruit."

"Where did they come from?"

Long Yue was momentarily stunned; Master was actually asking where they came from? She immediately understood, apparently this matter asked of Master was right, he actually knew the origin!

"Southern Ocean!"

After speaking, she looked at Duanmu Nan tensely and expectantly.

Duanmu Nan pondered for a moment and said, "If it were from another place, one might suspect it’s fake, but from the Southern Ocean, there indeed exists a lychee tree with vividly red fruits."

"Ah?" Long Yue’s face showed disappointment; did they as a couple imagine too much?

Seeing the troubled expression of the girl, Duanmu Nan couldn’t help but chuckle softly: "However, that is not an actual lychee tree, merely identical in appearance, easily mistaken, yet numerous cases of death by poisoning from it often occur."

"Death by poisoning?"

Long Yue’s eyes brightened, indicating their intuition was correct? The lychee tree indeed had issues!

"What precisely is it then?"

"It’s not called a lychee tree, but a Heart-devouring Fruit Tree. The fruit is vividly red, looking highly appetizing, the flesh is pure white and fragrant—just like lychee trees—but its fruit contains potent poison!"

Long Yue slightly opened her mouth, shocked at the existence of such a thing in the world.

"Then... should one inadvertently consume it, are they certainly doomed?"

"No, it’s not that they’ll die of poison, but after being poisoned, they begin to experience various illusions, performing bizarre actions, such as falling off cliffs, slashing wrists, self-decapitation, etc. The toxic illusions are very intense, if medicine isn’t administered promptly, they’ll end up killing themselves."
