Chapter 384: The Phoenix's Threat_2
At this moment, a maid quietly walked in and said: "Miss, Young Master Du Yun from the Du Family is here. Do you want to see him?"
"Brother Yun is here?"
The young woman instinctively stood up at the news, but then sat back down, shook her head and said: "I still won't see him. In my current state, how can I meet him? I'll wait until I'm better..."
The maid responded and was about to leave when the young woman seemed to remember something, her eyes rolled slightly, and suddenly said: "Wait..."
The Wang family.
In the main hall.
Wang Yun looked at a middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Xuanxuan had an unusual illness before, her appearance was destroyed, and to avoid embarrassing the Du Family, we canceled the engagement. But now her illness is almost cured, I think her engagement with Du Yun can continue..."
Behind the middle-aged man, a handsome young man quietly let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "Brother Wang, no matter what Xuanxuan's appearance is like, the engagement between the Wang and Du families will remain unchanged, right, Du Yun..."
The young man immediately replied with a smile: "Of course, in my heart, I've long regarded Sister Xuanxuan as my wife."
The middle-aged man said: "And Xuanxuan, I haven't seen her for two years. A girl transforms greatly at eighteen; I wonder what the little girl has turned into now..."
Wang Yun shook his head and said: "Xuanxuan's illness is not completely cured yet, even I haven't seen her, so it's likely she won't see you either."
Just as his words had faded, a voice came from outside: "Father, it's not good, my illness has relapsed, and the Divine Doctor said it can never be cured!"
A woman rushed in from outside, her face and arms full of festering scars. Wang Yun's complexion changed, and he said in panic: "How could this be? Didn't he say it could be cured!"
The woman turned to look at the young man named Du Yun, moved, and said: "Brother Yun, I heard what you said earlier, would you still be willing to marry me even if I've become like this?"
Du Yun's face turned pale; being with such a woman for a lifetime felt worse than dying.
The young woman quickly walked toward him, causing Du Yun to involuntarily take two steps back, as if avoiding a plague.
The young woman's body trembled and said: "Brother Yun, do you despise me too?"
Du Yun's mind raced with thoughts; if her illness was cured, he'd certainly be willing to marry her, but in her current state, which man would want her?
The Wang family is strong, but the Du Family is not weak either. To save face by sacrificing his happiness for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be so foolish!
He made a swift decision and immediately said: "Xuanxuan, regarding the engagement, let's wait until you're cured!"
The young woman saw through his thoughts, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped off the carefully applied makeup on her face, and calmly said: "There's no need. Our engagement is canceled, let's not disturb each other from now on..."
Wang Yun stared blankly at this scene and said: "Xuanxuan, this..."
The woman didn't even look at Du Yun and said: "Forget it, he never truly intended to marry me anyway..."
The two from the Du Family stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Watching her leave angrily, Wang Yun looked at the two and could only say: "Brother Du, you saw it too, perhaps it's best to end their marriage here..."
The middle-aged man glared at Du Yun, but with things as they were, he couldn't say much more.
The Wang family suddenly wanted to annul the engagement, so he brought Du Yun along to investigate.
Arriving at the Wang family, thinking there might be a turnaround, but didn't expect it would develop to this point after all.
...
Li Nuo finished making today's medicine and came to Miss Wang's residence.
Actually, anyone could make this medicine, but the Wang family helped him capture people and published his books, so he only needed to pass one True Qi to Miss Wang daily, which would take three seconds, making him seem dispensable.
Wang Ruoxuan sat by the stone table in the courtyard, unusually without wearing Curtain.
Li Nuo placed the medicine on the table in front of her and said: "Drink your medicine."
Just seeing the bowl of medicine made Wang Ruoxuan's mouth taste bitter. She really didn't want to drink it, and couldn't help but ask: "Can I skip it?"
If she didn't drink it, wouldn't Li Nuo have brewed it for nothing?
He only said lightly: "If you don't want to be cured, you can skip it."
Thinking of her previous stunning beauty, she gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl's medicine, and drank it all in one go. The bitterness made her face wrinkle together, not wanting outsiders to see her ugly expression, so she tried her best to lower her head.
Seeing her finish the medicine, Li Nuo said: "Hand."
Wang Ruoxuan extended her hand, and Li Nuo held her hand, passed a Medical School True Qi, making the scars on her face and body fade a bit more.
She kept her head down, glancing at Li Nuo from the corner of her eye.
Previously, she always wore the Curtain, and every time she looked at him through the gaps, she could only see a vague outline. Today, because she was feeling extremely down, she was too lazy to wear the Curtain and, for the first time, saw his full face, astonished in her heart.
Unexpectedly, he was so handsome, even more so than Du Yun.
Li Nuo released her hand, and Wang Ruoxuan immediately shifted her gaze.
At that moment, Wang Yun walked in from outside and once again cupped his hands towards Li Nuo, saying: "Thank you, Lord Li, for treating my daughter..."
Li Nuo waved his hand and said: "Each takes what they need, Miss Wang's condition is stable now; as long as she drinks her medicine on time, she should be cured in a month..."
Wang Ruoxuan heard this, her brows furrowed, and said: "What, such bitter medicine, I still have to drink it for a month, is there any way to avoid taking medicine?"
Li Nuo nodded and said: "Yes, but it requires more True Qi. Using Fifth Realm Medical School True Qi to manage the body for half a month also works, but I don't have that much time, the case in Bing State is almost finished, and I still need to go to Outer State for inspection..."
