Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 273 - 265: "Miss Ruan, you must save the Lord!!

Chapter 273: Chapter 265: "Miss Ruan, you must save the Lord!!

She furrowed her brow tightly, following them into the room.

After helping them lay Xie Huai’an on the bed, she immediately reached for his pulse to diagnose him.

However, the pulse made Ruan Mian’s face change slightly.

She couldn’t help but look at Xie Huai’an a couple of times, and after exchanging a glance with him, she understood the emotions flowing in his eyes and proceeded with another diagnosis.

Vice Minister Dong was anxious on the side, and the other subordinates were also extremely worried.

"Miss Ruan, is the Master alright?"

"The Master was just discussing matters with us, how did he suddenly vomit blood?! What on earth happened? Is the Master okay?"

"Miss Ruan, you must save the Master!!"

Vice Minister Dong bent down, looking at Ruan Mian with particular meaning and said: "Miss Ruan, are these symptoms perhaps due to poisoning?"

Ruan Mian glanced at Xie Huai’an, feigning anxiety as she spoke: "Indeed, it’s a sign of poisoning, Vice Minister Dong! Hurry and call all the doctors in the city!!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of those around changed abruptly: "What?! It’s that serious?" At this moment, other government officers were present at the post station, and even minor officials from Wuheng City had come to the post station to handle some affairs.

No one expected Mr. Xie would suddenly be poisoned.

Now everyone was extremely anxious, worried that this incident might be pinned on them.

They hurriedly sent someone to invite more doctors over.

Ruan Mian ordered someone to bring her the medicine box. Frowning tightly, she treated Xie Huai’an, and as her face grew darker, those around her felt even more on edge.

"Did the Master eat anything today?"

A servant immediately knelt down in a shivering voice: "Miss Ruan! The Master only had some pastries today, but... but the other Lords present also ate them, and nothing happened with the pastries!"

The government officers quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, we’re all fine, it surely wasn’t the pastries. Could there be another cause?"

"Yes, we just got here not long ago, we don’t know anything."

Xie Huai’an clutched his chest, weakly looking at the people present: "This matter has nothing to do with the Lords, it probably started... yesterday. I was already unwell yesterday."

Upon hearing this, those people breathed a sigh of relief and then cared for his body.

Xie Huai’an waved his hand reassuringly: "No matter, once the doctors arrive, there will naturally be a cure. Lords should return home, we will discuss official matters another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, another spurt of blood burst from Xie Huai’an!

Everyone was terrified, those Lords couldn’t wait to leave the scene.

"Assistant Minister, see the Lords... off..."

"Master, no need for courtesy, please take care of your health, we won’t disturb the doctors. If there’s anything else, just send someone to instruct us."

After saluting, those men hurriedly left the place.

Once the people inside the room had all left, Ruan Mian then went to close the door and poured a cup of hot water for Xie Huai’an: "Rinse your mouth, this duck’s blood is quite fishy, isn’t it?"

Xie Huai’an feigned discomfort: "My dear... not worried at all?"

Seeing him still acting in front of her, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but laugh, personally bringing the cup of warm water to his mouth.

"Master feigned poisoning and spread the news, are you fishing?"

"Will this method have any takers?"

Seeing she had seen through it, Xie Huai’an stopped pretending.

He also knew this lady of his, had seen through his plot starting from the pulse-taking.

So after drinking the cup of water to rinse his mouth, removing the raw taste from his mouth, he spoke slowly.

"Whether the fish bites depends on how enticing the bait is."

"Assistant Minister!" Xie Huai’an called out, and Vice Minister Dong walked in from outside, bowing.

"Master, the information has been disseminated, and I’ve already dismissed those doctors who came."

Ruan Mian’s brow moved slightly, she couldn’t help but speculate: "The news you sent out, is it missing something, and that thing is the bait?"

Vice Minister Dong admired her for hitting the nail on the head: "Miss Ruan is indeed extraordinarily intelligent, you guessed it spot on."

Ruan Mian looked at Xie Huai’an, only to see him calmly wiping the bloodstains on his clothes, speaking lightly.

"When interrogating Han Ling before, he disclosed someone would poison me, predicting I wouldn’t live long. And this bait is a rare medicine guide not found in Wuheng, which is exactly the information sent out."

"With the signal sent out, someone will naturally be unable to hold back and come over because of the medicine guide to see the Master’s condition."

Ruan Mian also understood his intention, although this method could not guarantee exposure, it was currently the most direct way.

It’s certain that the message sent out by the Assistant Minister was pretty serious.

Seeing Ruan Mian lost in thought, Xie Huai’an, with emotions stirring, held her hand with a hint of apology.

"Sorry to worry you, I couldn’t tell you beforehand."

Vice Minister Dong, seeing this, promptly turned to leave with good sense.

Leaving the couple alone, speaking in silence.

Ruan Mian recalled when she first heard about Xie Huai’an’s poisoning, her heart indeed skipped a beat.

Fortunately, nothing major happened, and her heart felt somewhat better.

"It’s alright as long as you’re okay."

But precisely because of this, Ruan Mian guessed some of his subsequent plans, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Master, if this plan succeeds, and the assassin lurking in Wuheng is exposed, what will your next step be?"

In her view, in Wuheng Land, there isn’t much more to investigate.

Especially with Han Ling having been killed, Chen Bozong also met an untimely death, if the clues on the Hidden Guard behind them could be found, perhaps they could follow them upwards to explore.

This also implied he might have to... leave here.

Xie Huai’an gently embraced her, seeming to see through her speculation, whispering in her ear.

"What my dear has in mind is exactly my next step."

"Mianmian, would you like to ride a horse?"

Ruan Mian restrained her expression, chuckling gently: "The sky is already dark, why go for a good ride? Don’t forget, my husband, now you are still a gravely poisoned, dying man. If someone finds you lively and horseback riding, won’t this chess game be in vain?"

Xie Huai’an laughed, getting up from the bed and holding her waist tightly.

"Then don’t let anyone find out, let’s sneak away."

After saying this, he suddenly leaped out of the window with Ruan Mian in his arms, arriving at the side courtyard of the post station.

There the guard had already been sent away by Vice Minister Dong, even the horses were ready for the two of them.

Only to see Xie Huai’an lift her onto the horse, having Ruan Mian hold his body tightly, with a call, the horse exited through the side gate, galloping forward into the dark wilderness.

On the snow-covered plains of the wilderness, under the moonlight casting down, their vision became increasingly clear as it adapted to the dimness.

Light snow was still sifting down, Ruan Mian’s cloak was blown high by the night wind.

Although the cold wind was biting, her heart was inexplicably burning.

She tightened her grip, pressing against Xie Huai’an’s back, sincerely advising.

"Husband, on this journey, be sure to stay safe."
