1305: Chapter 1305: Seasickness (5) 1305: Chapter 1305: Seasickness (5) Yang Ruxinâs expression of reluctance lingered as the passenger ship smoothly departed from the dock and then moved westward along the river, which widened progressively.
By the second day, they had entered the Dayuan River that runs north to south, and their speed picked up.
The river was wide, and from time to time, they could see other boats passing by, making it a lively scene.
However, tragedy struck as Dong Wenxiu began to show signs of motion sickness starting the second day.
âMiss, this is the medicine for motion sickness.â Granny Ling took great care of Dong Wenxiu, even delegating all tasks to Yang Miao who had accompanied her, personally delivering meals to her room these past few days.
She now brought over a freshly prepared herbal soup.
âThank you, Granny Ling.â Dong Wenxiuâs face was pale, but she drank the medicine without hesitation, only to sadly vomit it all back up immediately, including the little porridge she had managed to consume earlier.
âWhat are we going to do now?â Granny Lingâs eyes reddened with worry.
âDonât worry, Granny, I feel much better after throwing up.â Dong Wenxiu gave Ling Familyâs Granny Ling an apologetic glance.
âIf you still feel uncomfortable, Miss, we could travel by land at the next dock instead, adding just a few more days to our journey.â
âDonât worry, Granny Ling, I have a little home remedy here.
If it doesnât work, we can take a carriage.â Yang Ruxin sliced some ginger and had Dong Wenxiu hold a slice in her mouth while placing another on her belly button, then pricked her Hegu acupoint with a silver needle.
Surprisingly, the effect was quite satisfactory, and she felt significantly better soon after.
âMiss Ruxin really has a way.â Seeing Dong Wenxiuâs condition improving, Granny Lingâs face lit up with relief and joy.
Once Granny Ling left with others, Yang Ruxinâs gaze flickered, and she instructed Yang Miao to keep an eye on Dong Wenxiu, ensuring that she was consulted for any food or drink brought in.
Yang Miao didnât understand why, but she followed the instructions strictly.
Yang Ruxin returned to her room and summoned Shadow Twelve, Gu Cheng, Shadow Thirteen, Gu Ming, Du Man, and Du Juan, âPay extra attention to the people on the boat, especially those in the kitchen.â
Everyone frowned slightly.
âMiss, is there a problem with someone on the boat?â Du Man lowered his voice.
Yang Ruxin nodded slightly, âThe motion sickness medicine I gave my mother earlier contained something else, so, when you have time, take a stroll aroundâŠâ
Yu Qingge, naturally briefed as well, was concerned about the people who had come with her, as issues would be difficult to explain to both the Tang Family and the Fang Family.
Yu Qingge was not at all surprised; instead, she seemed excited, âA battle within the household?â
âI really donât understand your way of thinking, Qingge.
Theyâve resorted to poisoning, and here you are excited,â Yang Ruxin couldnât help but roll her eyes at her.
âIn a previous life, someone did say, âThere is endless joy in battling others.'â Yu Qinggeâs eyes widened, âThink about it, the Dong Family being such a large clan, wouldnât it be boring without some internal strife?â
âArenât you afraid of getting dragged into it?
What if you end up deadâŠâ
âNot afraid at all, I canât bring myself to commit suicide, but if I really end up dead because of someone else, maybe Iâll just go backâŠâ Yu Qingge was quite indifferent, âI still aim to claim the title of esports queenâŠâ
âWhat about Tianze?â
âOh.â Suddenly, Yu Qinggeâs smile faded, âYes, thatâs true.
I find that I really canât bear to leave himâŠâ She then waved her hand dismissively, âLetâs not talk about that.
With you here as the Divine Doctor, you wonât let me die.
Letâs play Conan and investigate this caseâŠâ
