Chapter 63 - Overdose of sleeping pills

Old Lady Shen ignored the mocking gazes and continued to offer incense to the ancestors.

At this time, Shen Mu Sheng's car had already sped up on the Coiled Mountain Road. He drove with one hand and took out his phone with the other, making a call and telling personal doctor to wait at the old house.

After hanging up, Shen Mu Sheng turned to look at Qin Ruo Chu who was sitting in the front passenger seat. At this time, Qin Ruo Chu had already completely lost consciousness. Her lips were pale white like her face, and there was no hint of color on it.

Shen Mu Sheng's face tensed up, his eyes filled with killing intent, his feet moving so fast he had already guessed where the accelerator was.

The half an hour drive was forcefully compressed by Shen Mu Sheng into ten minutes, when the black Maybach left a long scar at the entrance of the house. Shen Mu Sheng's personal doctor had already quickly stepped forward to open the carriage door.

"Shen Tong …" Just as personal doctor opened the car door to speak, he was pushed away by the man rushing out, "It's like someone drugged us, get ready immediately!" As Shen Mu Sheng spoke, he went around to the other side of the door and quickly carried the unconscious Qin Ruo Chu out.

personal doctor had been by Shen Mu Sheng's side for many years, and he immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation. He quickly walked in front and opened the door for Shen Mu Sheng.

The moment Shen Mu Sheng put Qin Ruo Chu down, the personal doctor went forward to inspect his body. When the doctor saw Qin Ruo Chu's pained expression and his pale face, he felt that the matter was not small.

The doctor pushed open Qin Ruo Chu's tightly shut eyes, then pressed onto Qin Ruo Chu's stomach through his clothes. Only then did he grab Qin Ruo Chu's wrist, and seriously listened to his pulse.

In just half a minute, thirty seconds, in Shen Mu Sheng's opinion, it had already been too long, so long that he had already lost his patience.

"How is it? Is it serious?" Shen Mu Sheng could no longer hold it in, and finally asked.

The doctor frowned, he then put down Qin Ruo Chu's wrist, "Shen Tong, Madam took a sleeping pill, and … And it's not small. " The doctor said solemnly.

When Shen Mu Sheng heard the words sleeping pill, a storm had already started in the depths of his eyes. He knew that Qin Ruo Chu never took sleeping pills, and he had an excessive amount of them … It was definitely man-made.

"Do you need to go to the hospital? Is there still danger? " Shen Mu Sheng asked in a deep voice. He was a bit more relaxed now, but he still furrowed his brows.

"I don't need to go to the hospital, but my wife might need to sleep for a period of time. Shen Tong, please remind my wife that she cannot take such a large dosage of sleeping pills. If you take too many sleeping pills, you will at least faint, and at most, you will be in danger of losing your life. " The doctor said in a serious tone. Although no one would dare to speak up against Shen Mu Sheng who had such a strong aura around him, this was his responsibility as a doctor.

Hearing this, Shen Mu Sheng squinted his eyes, "No, the sleeping pill wasn't taken by mistress herself, someone else did it on purpose …"

Hearing that, the doctor raised his head in confusion, but he did not say anything, waiting for Shen Mu Sheng to speak.

Shen Mu Sheng lifted his hand and gently touched Qin Ruo Chu's cheek. Compared to just now, Qin Ruo Chu's face was already much better, but he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

"Bring back some of the things your wife touched today to check on. Find out how your wife took the sleeping pills. Call me when you have any results." Shen Mu Sheng did not turn back as he coldly spoke.

The doctor took away everything that Qin Ruo Chu had touched since he woke up this morning, including the cups of water and the milk for breakfast.

After the doctor left, the room immediately became quiet. Qin Ruo Chu went to sleep, only hearing uniform breathing, hitting Shen Mu Sheng's heart time and time again.

Shen Mu Sheng covered his forehead with his large palm. He was sure that Qin Ruo Chu did not have a fever, but he did not move his hand away from her for a long time. The warmth of Qin Ruo Chu's body spread from his wide palm to Shen Mu Sheng's body, causing him to feel inexplicably calm.

At this moment, there was a careful knock on the door, followed by a voice saying, "Eldest young master, the old lady wants you to go up the mountain quickly, otherwise you might miss out on the ancestor's auspicious time …" The voice outside the door seemed to be waiting for an answer.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound coming from the room. The person at the door did not dare to knock again, so he could only leave in a hypocritical manner.

Old Lady Shen had conducted the Ancestral Worship Ceremony by herself, and with Qiao Yi Tong's support, as soon as she entered the gate, servants came over.

"Madame, Eldest Young Master and Miss Qin are in their rooms, they haven't come out yet …" The servant told the truth to Old Lady Shen.

Old Lady Shen's originally unhappy face darkened even more. "For an outsider, you actually can't even participate in such an important ancestral worship ceremony! Do you think that's a good thing? Is there still one more thing that a Shen family head should do? " When Old Lady Shen said this, he somewhat resented the fact that she had failed.

Qiao Yi Tong hurriedly opened his mouth, "Grandmother, this matter cannot be blamed on Mu Sheng. If it was in the past, Mu Sheng would definitely not hold up such a great matter like the Ancestor because of such a small matter. Now, after marrying Qin Ruo Chu, it would seem as if he has become a completely different person … Grandmother, do you think so? " Qiao Yi Tong said carefully, while talking about the expression of observing Old Lady Shen, afraid that if she said something wrong, it would make the old lady unhappy.

"Hmph, he has never placed me, a Grandmother, in his eyes. Now that he has Little Girl Qin blabbering on, it is even more lawless!" Old Lady Shen was so angry that she started to cough violently.

Qiao Yi Tong immediately patted her back and comforted her as he helped her to rest.

When he passed by the entrance of Shen Mu Sheng's courtyard, he met a servant. Qiao Yi Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at the Old Lady Shen who did not even notice this point. He pretended to be indifferent and made a sound, successfully attracting the attention of the Old Lady Shen.

"Yi Tong, what's wrong?" Old Lady Shen asked.

Qiao Yi Tong immediately retracted his gaze, "Oh, no … Nothing, Grandmother … " The more Qiao Yi Tong acted this way, the more suspicions Old Lady Shen had towards him. He followed Qiao Yi Tong's gaze and saw the servant who was carrying the tray, hence he hurriedly headed towards Shen Mu Sheng's yard.

The old lady's thoughts stirred. "Halt."

The servant stopped far away, and the Old Lady Shen walked over leisurely with Qiao Yi Tong's support. Qiao Yi Tong secretly frowned, his eyes showing signs of having succeeded.

"What are you doing? And … "What is this?" Old Lady Shen asked coldly, seeing a white porcelain bowl with a lid placed on top of the tray.
