Next to them, General Wu was scared out of his wits!
Mrs Ning was dead?!
The wife of the governor of Anyuan Province died in Wanping Town under his watch. He was so getting executed for this. Even if he could survive the punishment, his career as a soldier was finished…
Young Master Ba was still smirking at Feng Wu. “You can save her? Don’t make me laugh! Mrs Ning is dead!”
“I can bring her back from Death itself,” said Feng Wu calmly.
“… You’re insane! If you can do that, I’ll be your assistant and do everything you say!”
Feng Wu snorted. “I’ll remember that.”
After that, she went up to Mrs Ning and examined her with a frown.
Ning Chenxi looked like a drowning man grabbing at a straw. Keeping his eyes on Feng Wu, he asked, “What do you think? How is my mother…”
Ning Chenxi had never felt so remorseful. He should have let the girl do the job in the first place instead of using Young Master Ba… He couldn’t think straight now!
“If the other medicine refiner hadn’t delayed me, I would have had an 80% chance of saving her. But now, it’s down to 50%. So, what do you say? Do you want me to treat her or not?” Feng Wu stared at Ning Chenxi earnestly. “If not, Mrs Ning will be dead for good in three minutes. If you let me do it, none of you are allowed to interfere with my work. So tell me now: do you want me to treat her or not?”
“Yes!” Ning Chenxi replied before anyone else. “Yes, please! She trusted you the most. I’m sure she’d say the same thing if she was still conscious!”
Mrs Yan’s lips moved, but she said nothing in the end. If it was up to Young Master Ba, they’d be preparing for Mrs Ning’s funeral now. With Feng Wu as their last resort, there might still be some hope.
“Which is your priority? Your mother or the babies?” Feng Wu asked another question.
Ning Chenxi was elated by the question, for it indicated that she was confident in what she could do!
Seeing the look on Feng Wu’s face, Ning Chenxi made the choice right away. “If it’s possible, please save my mother.”
Because of the recurring aftershocks, the treatment took place in an open space outside on the lawn.
A makeshift tent had been set up using bamboo sticks.
Feng Wu turned her stern glance on Mrs Yan and Yan Yan. Before she said anything, Mrs Yan took Mrs Ning’s hand and said affirmatively, “I’m not leaving! No matter what you say!”
They couldn’t afford more delays, or Mrs Ning would really be dead…
Feng Wu darted her a cold glance. “You can stay here, but please try not to scream.”
Mrs Yan nodded in a hurry.
Did she have confidence in Feng Wu? To be honest, not at all… But her head had gone completely blank and she was all numb.
Feng Wu got started right away.
Taking a first-aid kit from Qiuling, she took out a packet of white powder and instructed Qiuling, “This will stop the bleeding. Put half of it over her wounds and let her drink the other half.”
“Yes.” Qiuling had been well-trained by Feng Wu over the years and she carried out the instructions right away.
“My aunt isn’t breathing! How can she drink anything?!” Yan Yan glared at Feng Wu, finding the latter ridiculous. Was she really going to save Mrs Ning?
Feng Wu was so busy that she didn’t even spare a glance for Yan Yan. When Qiuling handed her the water, she tapped Mrs Ning hard on her chest with her fingers.
“How dare you mistreat my aunt’s dead body!” Yan Yan cried out in rage!
“Cough — ”
Just when Yan Yan was going to rush to their side, Mrs Ning, who had been declared dead, coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
