Chapter 263 Cognition
In an instant, Li Xiaogang, who had just been acting coquettishly in front of Li Xiaonuan, was taken into Chu Feng's hands.
This happened so suddenly that no one had time to react, except for Madam Su, who witnessed it all.
However, Mrs. Su was so shocked that she was speechless and could not utter a single word; she could only sob and cry.
The head of the guards and his men surrounded Chu Feng, keeping a close watch on him warily.
"Impossible! How could my medicine be so ineffective? Could it be that he doesn't have any Chinese medicine at all?" The sixth young lady shouted unwillingly as her wet nurse pulled her into the crowd.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng held Xiao Gang's neck firmly, without saying a word or moving an inch.
When Xiao Gang came to his senses and began to struggle in her arms, Li Xiaonuan realized something was wrong.
Although Chu Feng could move, his movements were stiff. It seemed he had been drugged to some extent. Furthermore, Chu Feng hadn't made a sound, probably because he was afraid of being exposed for being drugged.
"Chu Feng, what are you trying to do? Don't tell us you don't have Chinese medicine, we don't believe any of you. We just want to know why you insist on arresting us." To confirm her suspicions, Li Xiaonuan asked directly.
Chu Feng moved stiffly and alertly, taking two steps to the east side of the courtyard, but still remained silent.
"If you don't speak, that means you agree. Since you've been drugged, you definitely can't leave. Speaking of which, if I had this kind of drug, I would definitely increase the dosage without anyone noticing after I realized I had failed." Li Xiaonuan said this only to scare you.
However, just as Li Xiaonuan said, the sixth young lady had indeed drugged her again. Moreover, this time the dosage was indeed increased.
Chu Feng suddenly felt his limbs become even stiffer. He glared fiercely at Li Xiaonuan and the others, and then suddenly exerted force in his hands.
Xiao Gang had already thought of countless ways to escape the moment Li Xiaonuan opened her mouth.
The reason he struggled just now was simply to take the opportunity to pull out the powder from his sleeve.
So, when Chu Feng started to exert force, Xiao Gang held his breath and sprinkled a handful of powder behind him.
As Xiao Gang made his move, Chu Feng also made his own. However, Chu Feng was under the influence of the drug, so his movements were not as agile as before.
Xiao Gang was violently thrown to the ground by Chu Feng, while he himself leaped towards the east wall.
Strangely, Chu Feng's movements, which had become increasingly clumsy, gradually became lighter after Xiao Gang sprinkled the powder on him.
Upon seeing Chu Feng's light and fluid movements, and his figure quickly disappearing over the courtyard wall, the Sixth Miss was furious.
Most of the guards rushed off, chasing after Chu Feng.
Li Xiaonuan and the others didn't have time to pay attention to whether Chu Feng had successfully escaped. They were currently surrounding Xiao Gang, whose neck was crooked and who was barely breathing.
Miss Liu dodged aside, pushed Li Xiaonuan aside, and stepped forward to massage Xiaogang's neck a few times. Then, she gritted her teeth, grabbed Xiaogang's neck with both hands, and twisted it.
With two sharp "crackling" sounds, Xiao Gang's neck straightened back into place.
However, Xiao Gang still did not wake up. Even when Miss Liu forcibly straightened his neck, he remained unconscious.
"Sixth Miss, what's wrong with my Xiaogang?" Seeing that Xiaogang showed no signs of waking up and his body was getting colder, Madam Su asked fearfully, pulling on the Sixth Miss.
The sixth young lady snorted coldly and said, "That idiot spilled his own medicine. Also, the medicine he concocted contained an ingredient that counteracted my medicine. That's why that person just escaped."
"Then why is my body so cold, Xiaogang?" Su still didn't believe that Xiaogang had simply overdosed on his medicine.
Miss Liu reached out and took Xiao Gang's pulse with a puzzled expression, then felt all over his body. Only when she pulled out a small blue-and-white porcelain bottle did she smile with satisfaction.
"Auntie, don't be nervous. This is the antidote. Give Xiaogang one pill, and I believe he will warm up soon," Miss Liu said, handing the medicine bottle to Madam Su.
Looking at Xiaogang's neck, which had just been straightened, Li Xiaonuan asked worriedly, "Sixth Miss, is Xiaogang's neck really alright? Will he be able to stand up and walk again?"
Miss Liu gave Li Xiaonuan a strange look and asked, "Why can't you stand up and walk? Xiaogang just twisted his neck, what could be wrong with that?"
After finishing speaking, Miss Liu seemed to remember something and added, "However, it's best to keep his neck immobilized for ten days to two weeks. Otherwise, his neck may become crooked later."
Su took the medicine and immediately put one into Xiaogang's mouth. However, Xiaogang still didn't wake up, but fortunately, his body temperature had returned.
"Auntie, Uncle Li, don't worry, Xiaogang will wake up soon. You should take him back first, otherwise it's not good for him to sit in the middle of the yard like this." The little girl said this when she saw Su Shi and Uncle Li holding Xiaogang nervously and calling his name softly.
Li Xiaonuan once again felt admiration for this little girl. Putting aside her medical skills at such a young age, her calmness and way of dealing with things in the face of adversity deeply impressed Li Xiaonuan.
Thinking back to the first time I saw the little girl at the gate of the Qi family mansion, her arrogant and unreasonable manner was indeed completely different from how she is now.
Are all scions of noble families so exceptionally talented that they surpass their parents? In such a grand setting, the little girl showed no fear whatsoever, not even the slightest flinch.
Indeed, if someone is so beloved, there must be a reason why they deserve to be loved.
However, in everyday life, the little girl is actually quite cute and innocent. She's prone to all sorts of unreasonable and disruptive behavior.
Thinking about the little girl's various cunning acts over the past few days, Li Xiaonuan was now completely impressed by the family's education.
The Qi family must have put in a lot of effort to cultivate a little girl who could be cute, silly, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, and even play the Big Bad Wolf.
Quite suddenly, Li Xiaonuan began to worry about Xiaogang's future.
Xiao Gang was carried into Li Xiaonuan's room. After he was settled, the little girl came in with a small wallet.
She sat on the edge of the bed and carefully wiped her hands on the damp cloth handed to her by the wet nurse before opening her wallet.
Li Xiaonuan stood to the side, examining the contents of the wallet clearly. Inside was a set of exquisitely crafted gold needles.
The little girl took out five gold needles of varying lengths, heated them briefly over the blue flame of a small bottle of unidentified liquid lit by the nanny, and then quickly inserted them one by one into Xiao Gang's head and neck.
The needle is applied, and the effect is immediate.
Xiao Gang finally woke up with a groan.
Fortunately, Xiao Gang's neck had just been secured by the little girl using a special wooden frame.
Otherwise, given Xiaogang's habit of moving his head as soon as he wakes up, he'll probably twist his neck again.
"Xiaogang, you're awake. Tell your mother, is there anything else that's bothering you?" As soon as Xiaogang opened his eyes, Madam Su asked quickly.
Xiao Gang didn't answer Su's question, but instead asked, "Has that bad guy been caught?"
