Chapter 283 A Good Plan
Terrified, Pig Head crawled out into the crowd. Inside the house, he felt a chilling wind and knelt down uncontrollably; it was too frightening.
Everyone quickly moved away, afraid of getting dirty. Hou Guoguo and Ma Xiaolan, who wanted to proceed as planned, refused to believe it and glared at the pig's head with great dissatisfaction.
Ma Xiaolan was even more arrogant and domineering, and she launched into a tirade against the pig-headed man: "What are you yelling about? It's broad daylight, where are the ghosts? There are so many people here, full of yang energy, even if there were ghosts, they wouldn't dare to show themselves."
"Hurry up and go in! You can't even handle a spineless woman? Are you even a man? If you don't force the issue today, nothing else will work, and don't blame us for not cooperating! I won't refund your referral fee either." Oh dear, she let it slip. Hou Guoguo glared at Ma Xiaolan: "You're really good at scheming, aren't you? Trying to profit from both sides?"
"Stop babbling and get today's business done first." Ma Xiaolan ignored her and kept urging the pig-headed man.
"I won't go, I won't go! Your mother-in-law is inside watching over us, I won't go!" Pighead was terrified and shook his head repeatedly.
Hou Guoguo made no attempt to hide her contempt for Ning's mother: "Impossible. That old hag was useless and sickly in life. Now that she's dead, she thinks she's something special? She probably hasn't even reached the King of Hell yet, hasn't even had time to become a ghost..."
Ning Tianbao grabbed his wife's arm and scolded, "Shut up! It's not even the seventh day after death yet! I heard that vengeful ghosts... come back for revenge! It's all your fault for being in such a hurry..."
Through the open door, Ma Xiaolan saw Ning Xueyan leaning against the headboard, looking weak and listless. She glared at Ning Tianbao fiercely. Now was not the time for infighting; after today, it would be difficult to deceive Ning Xueyan into coming back.
She shoved the pig's head again: "Go in, keep going! It's broad daylight, there can't be any ghosts, I don't believe in that stuff. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are you in or not? Come on, we'll go in with you and sleep with her!"
Ma Xiaolan didn't mind dragging that pig's head along as they walked into the house. 'Bang, bang,' "Poisonous woman, Ma Xiaolan... beast... give me your lives! You dare hurt my Yan'er, give me your lives... give me your lives..." It was none other than Ning's mother's voice.
"Ah...ah...it hurts...it hurts so much...there's a ghost...a ghost is grabbing me..." Everyone was terrified and rushed out of the courtyard, howling and screaming, and ran into the street.
Ting Nan and Song Yanchu arrived just in time and quickly moved to the side of the road.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Song Yanchu pulled Tingnan into the courtyard and saw Lingling looking around excitedly, shouting, "Grandma, Grandma, is it really you? You're back? Come out and see me! I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid even if you're a ghost! Come out quickly, I've missed you so much!"
Song Yanchu hurriedly walked towards her, "Lingling, where is your aunt? Take us to find her. We need to get her out of the yard while no one is around."
"Uncle Song, Ting Nan, what brings you here? Don't be afraid, my grandma is back and will protect Auntie." Ning Lingling had run into them at the restaurant and knew they weren't bad people.
"Tingnan, over here!" Gao Haoran jumped down from the roof and beckoned Tingnan into Ning Xueyan's room. "She might have been drugged. Quickly take her away."
Ning Lingling stared at Gao Haoran, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, speechless with surprise. What was going on? This uncle looked so familiar.
Song Yanchu nudged her, "Lingling, hurry up, your aunt has been poisoned and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."
"Oh, oh!" Ning Lingling realized that her aunt was more important, so without saying another word, she picked up Ning Xueyan's canvas bag and led them out through the back door.
As soon as Ning Xueyan saw Gao Haoran, her tense nerves relaxed, and she fell asleep, letting Ting Nan hold her.
After arriving at the hospital and undergoing examinations and blood tests, it was confirmed that Ning Xueyan had indeed been drugged.
The doctor said, "She must have drunk wine mixed with anesthetic. The fact that she could stay awake for so long shows how ruthless she is to herself. Look, she bit her lip until it bled and scratched her palms until they bled."
Gao Haoran felt heartbroken; he was still too late.
Ting Nan asked the doctor, "Doctor, what should we do now? Is this medicine the 'sleeping potion' from martial arts novels?"
The doctor nodded: "Yes, more or less. Originally, anesthetic powder was used before surgery to reduce the patient's pain, but some criminals use it to knock people unconscious. If you want her to wake up quickly, you can splash her with cold water or give her a cold shower."
"No, it's too cold. It'll make people freeze. Is there any other way?" Gao Haoran refused decisively, as Xueyan's body couldn't withstand it.
The doctor said, "Don't be nervous. The amount of the drug she took shouldn't be much. If you're not in a hurry, let her sleep. You can also give her more licorice water, but she'll wake up a little slowly."
The dosage of the medicine was indeed small, thanks to Ma Xiaolan's malicious intentions—she wanted Ning Xueyan to watch herself being violated and forcibly taken by such a person while fully conscious, so that her pain would be doubled! Being completely unconscious and not making a sound or cry out was meaningless, so she controlled the dosage of the medicine.
