After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"This little girl is quite cute, but she's clearly not very bright..."

Many people's attention was drawn to her, and after looking Shen Lu over, they couldn't help but shake their heads in regret.

What era are we living in? To still believe in something like a "life-extending elixir" is clearly the work of a foolish child who's been watching too many movies.

"My elixir is real! My son-in-law wouldn't lie to me!"

Feeling the suspicious looks from everyone, and with the doctors in the emergency room not coming out at all, and not daring to rush in, she became increasingly anxious, jumping around trying to explain.

In the little girl's eyes, her son-in-law was a freakish... ptooey! No! He was a master!

Therefore, having something like a life-extending elixir is perfectly normal.

Moreover, although her son-in-law might tease her occasionally, he would never lie to her about matters of life and death like this.

The key question is, how exactly can she get the life-saving pill into the mouth of Mi Zizhen, who is being resuscitated inside?

If the medicine is not taken immediately, and the rescue fails completely, even a god could not save Mi Zizhen.

With this thought in mind, Shen Lu became even more anxious.

But she couldn't think of any other way at this time, so she just kept shouting in the corridor, hoping that the doctors in the emergency room would hear her.

"Shut up! Are you trying to kill Zizhen by shouting all the time? If the doctors inside are disturbed and the rescue fails, you'll be the culprit!"

At this moment, a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask looked at Shen Lu and scolded her.

Whether this woman was a relative or a friend of Mi Zi was unknown, her presence here was definitely not out of genuine concern for Mi Zi's life or death.

Shen Lu had clearly heard the woman on the phone earlier. She was discussing Mi Zizhen's estate with someone else, especially the astronomical accidental death insurance.

The tone of his words clearly indicated that he wished for Mi Zi to die, as this was the only way to maximize his profits.

Shen Lu wasn't very bright, but she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't distinguish between good and bad people, so I had a very bad impression of this woman.

If someone else had said that to her, she would have listened, but to this woman who wanted Mi Zizhen dead, the little girl retorted directly: "What do you know! If you don't take this medicine, Mi Zizhen is doomed! And you're blocking me here, what are you up to? Don't think I didn't hear you on the phone earlier, I think you're the culprit who wants to kill Mi Zizhen!"

Although Shen Lu is not good with words and rarely argues with people, she has a sharp-tongued lady by her side and has learned a bit of her essence through observation and exposure.

This rebuttal was both accurate and ruthless, striking right at the woman's weak spot.

Especially when her secret thoughts were exposed in public, the woman could even clearly feel the shocked and disdainful gazes directed at her.

"You sharp-tongued little brat, you dare to slander me? You probably don't know what it feels like to get beaten up, do you?"

Enraged, the woman raised her hand and slapped Shen Lu across the face.

This cute and innocent little girl doesn't seem to have any fighting ability at all. Although women are not good at fighting, they feel that they can beat the other party until they cry for their parents without any problem.

The woman's idea wasn't wrong, but unfortunately, she forgot the old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover."

Shen Lu, who appears petite and adorable on the surface, perfectly embodies this phrase.

Just when Shen Lu was worried that taking matters into her own hands would cause negative consequences, the woman offered herself up, which Shen Lu certainly wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity.

So she simply reached out, grabbed the woman's wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

"what……"

A scream rang out instantly. Feeling a sharp pain as if her wrist had been snapped, the woman was in so much pain that tears almost welled up in her eyes.

But this was only the beginning. Since he had decided to take action, and he was acting in self-defense, the little girl was of course not going to show any mercy.

As I once said in my own novel, all women are petty, regardless of age.

But being narrow-minded isn't necessarily a bad thing; the main principle is to never let yourself suffer a loss.

Taking advantage of the woman's pain, Shen Lu suddenly lifted her up and slapped her hard across the face.

Since this woman wanted to slap her, she naturally had to give her a taste of her own medicine.

Her son-in-law, in particular, repeatedly told her that if you hit someone, you have to hit them in the face; that's basic respect in a fight.

If you fight fiercely but end up with no scars on your face, then it's not a fight, it's just children playing house.

Snapped!

A clear, crisp sound rang out in the corridor. Although the woman was almost a head taller than Shen Lu, their strength was on completely different levels.

Without any suspense, the woman was slapped to the ground by Shen Lu, her sunglasses and mask flying off, revealing five clear red finger marks on her fair face.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his meticulously styled hair was now completely disheveled, making him look extremely pathetic.

Adding to her humiliation, she was slapped in public, and she simply sat on the ground and started wailing.

The decibel level was so high that it made the entire corridor buzz.

But she had only cried a couple of times when the lights in the emergency room suddenly went out, and several doctors came out.

"Doctor, doctor, how is Mi Zizhen?"

Seeing this, Shen Lu forgot about teaching the woman a lesson and rushed over to ask her questions anxiously.

The medicine her son-in-law gave her was still in her hands. If Mi Zi really couldn't be saved and died on the operating table, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"The situation is not optimistic... Hey? Lulu, what are you doing here? Do you know Mi Zizhen?"

A doctor first shook his head, then froze on the spot after seeing Shen Lu's appearance clearly.

"Are you...Grandpa Chen?"

Shen Lu was also a little dumbfounded. She looked at the other person for a long time before cautiously asking.

Because of the hats and masks worn, it is still somewhat difficult to recognize people by their eyes and voices alone.

"it's me."

The doctor nodded and took off his mask, revealing himself to be Chen Yizhen, the renowned physician from Jingzhou and the personal physician of Old Madam Qin.

“Grandpa Chen, you’re here just in time. I have a pill here, a life-saving elixir given to me by my son-in-law! If Mi Zizhen can take it, it will save his life…”

Overjoyed to unexpectedly run into an acquaintance, Shen Lu quickly grabbed Chen Yizhen's arm and began to beg.

"...Hey Old Chen, this little girl isn't your patient, is she? Life-extending elixirs, are she just writing novels for fun?"

Before Chen Yizhen could even speak, a doctor next to him couldn't help but sneer.

Then, he looked at Shen Lu and said, "Don't waste your energy, you should hurry up and prepare for the funeral..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yizhen suddenly became incredibly excited, grabbing Shen Lu's arm and asking, "You said Ye Bai personally prepared this medicine? Show it to me right now!"
