She's definitely a brother-obsessed girl, not at all like the arrogant young actresses described online.

"I'm still busy. I'll ask you out for dinner when I have time later," Shi Yanxia said softly.

When Bai Nuannuan heard that she had something to do, she didn't dare to talk any longer and said, "Okay, then send me a WeChat message when you're done. I'll hang up now."

After she hung up the phone, Shi Yanxia immediately began processing the medicinal herbs. Then she picked up a bottle from the side, tore off the yellow talisman, and fused the herbs with the snake gall.

Seeing the medicinal powder enveloping the snake gall, she stood up, picked up the cinnabar beside her, drew a circle in the air, wrote a string of characters, and whispered, "Rise."

The bottle containing the poisonous snake and medicinal powder flew into the air and was transformed into flames by the yellow talisman, burning continuously.

A strong medicinal smell wafted over, and half an hour later, the bottle fell to the ground with a "clatter." Shi Yanxia reached out and caught the bottle.

Seeing the pills made from burning yellow talismans, she took them and turned to walk outside.

"Young Madam." Butler Zhou stood nervously outside. Seeing her come out, he immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Seeing the housekeeper's enthusiastic expression, Shi Yanxia couldn't help but glance at him.

"Going for a CT scan?" Shi Yanxia looked at him with a half-smile.

Butler Zhou scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then immediately took out the CT scan and handed it over, saying excitedly, "Young Madam was right. I went for a CT scan and found that it is indeed a kidney stone."

"But the doctor said they are all small stones, densely packed everywhere, and probably difficult to treat. He's worried that even if we remove them with laser treatment, they will continue to regenerate," said Butler Zhou, swallowing hard.

Hearing this is terrifying.

He was completely stunned the moment he received the CT scan.

If Shi Yanxia hadn't reminded him, and he had delayed, the small stones on his kidneys would have grown larger, suppressing his kidneys, and in the long run, he might have even died.

"It's alright, I'll prescribe some medicine for you tomorrow, and you'll be fine after taking it for a few days," Shi Yanxia said softly.

Butler Zhou was somewhat taken aback and looked at her in disbelief.

"Really? Thank you so much, young mistress." Butler Zhou's eyes reddened with excitement.

Hearing what the doctor said at the hospital, and thinking about how old he was and how he still had to endure this kind of pain, he almost broke down.

Kidney stones and gallstones are generally difficult to treat.

If you're lucky, one laser treatment might remove it, but if you're unlucky, you might need multiple treatments, which could damage your body and even...

“Come up to me tomorrow at noon,” Shi Yanxia said.

She turned and walked towards Zhan Jinglin's room, knocked on the door, and the door opened in response.

Shi Yanxia stepped inside and found that his door was ajar, clearly left open for her.

"Zhan Jinglin," Shi Yanxia called softly.

A muffled groan could be faintly heard coming from the bathroom. The sound was deep and hoarse, as if the man was suppressing some emotion.

"Hiss, um." As Shi Yanxia drew closer, the sound became even more realistic.

Shi Yanxia pushed open the door and saw Zhan Jinglin's tall figure standing in front of the sink, his arms supporting the sides of the sink, the veins on his arms bulging.

Clearly, he was suppressing the pain in his body.

But the pain in his body surged towards him like a flood, constantly tearing at every nerve in his body, and clamoring to break through his body.

The veins on his skin kept appearing and slowly bulging, as if they were about to burst his skin, and then the blood vessels would rupture!

With a "pfft," a mouthful of blood gushed from his throat and sprayed onto the mirror in front of him.

Crimson blood slid down the mirror in front of him, dripping onto his large, calloused hands, starkly contrasting with his skin.

Zhan Jinglin looked up and saw Shi Yanxia's reflection in the mirror.

The man quickly turned to look at the door and saw that Shi Yanxia had already pushed the door open and entered, standing beside him.

Zhan Jinglin quickly raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing the pain in his body. His deep black eyes narrowed slightly, but his voice became extremely gentle.

"Why did you come here?" Zhan Jinglin asked in a hoarse voice.

She said it would be 11 p.m., but it's only 10 p.m. now, which is an hour later than she said.

Shi Yanxia frowned, reached out and grabbed his arm, turning his tall body around. She saw the venom surging on his skin, indicating that the poison was already stirring inside his body.

"You've already been poisoned, why didn't you come to me?" Shi Yanxia asked, her voice filled with surprise.

She couldn't believe that someone could be so powerful, maintaining their sanity even after being poisoned, and even standing calmly in front of her.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be writhing in pain by now, or even losing their minds and harming themselves! But he didn't.

Having practiced medicine for many years, this was the most patient person she had ever met, bar none.

"You said eleven o'clock, I don't want to disturb you." Zhan Jinglin's voice was hoarse.

As he spoke, a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat. He tried to control himself, but a trickle of blood kept seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Butler Zhou, who was following behind, was so frightened by what he saw that his legs went weak.

"Young Master!" Butler Zhou rushed in.

Although he knew Zhan Jinglin was on the verge of death and had seen him suffer repeated poisoning attacks, seeing him again still made him feel heartbroken and unable to breathe. He had watched Zhan Jinglin grow up.

To Butler Zhou, Zhan Jinglin was the child he had raised himself. Even though they were not related by blood, he was still his child in his eyes.

"Butler Zhou, turn on the water," Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.

Butler Zhou stood there, somewhat taken aback, and it took him a while to react.

He rushed forward and turned on the faucet, water flowing into the bathtub. Shi Yanxia took the pills she had just prepared and put them into Zhan Jinglin's mouth.

A strong, bitter taste spread through his mouth. Zhan Jinglin frowned slightly, but still swallowed it down.

He had just swallowed the medicine when Shi Yanxia pressed her hand against his chest and slapped him hard.

"Pfft." Zhan Jinglin felt his chest churning, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Shi Yanxia supported him and pushed him into the bathtub. The man's tall body fell in, splashing water, and her casual home clothes were half wet.

She held Zhan Jinglin down, her fingertips tracing his arm, pressing against the side of his neck, and slashing open a wound.

Blood was seen seeping out continuously. When Butler Zhou saw this, his lips moved and he looked at her in surprise. He did not expect that she would actually bleed Zhan Jinglin.

“If you trust me, then you can leave now.” Shi Yanxia clearly knew what Butler Zhou was thinking.

Butler Zhou clenched his fists. A few seconds later, he turned around and walked out. As he closed the door, he saw that the bathtub was stained red with blood.

At this moment, his eyes were red and swollen with tears. He stood outside, frozen in place, not daring to move an inch. The air was thick with the smell of blood.

"Young Master, you must be alright. I pray to our ancestors to bless you and keep you safe and sound." Butler Zhou quickly closed his eyes and murmured softly.
