Chapter 588: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (127)

Hearing his sister's explanation of the pill, Su Yanqing's eyes lit up, and his curiosity as a scholar emerged again: "Xiao Ran, is there such a magical medicine? Could it be that it came from your hand?"

He took the pill and sniffed it, then asked, "What is the main ingredient in it?"

Facing this brother who seemed to be thinking about pharmaceutical physics all the time, Su Xiangran could only touch his forehead helplessly and sighed: "Brother, the most important thing for us now is not to study pills.

Instead, we must first find a way to deal with the troubles in front of us!"

She continued to persuade him helplessly, "These are all Chinese patent medicines. If you are really interested in learning more, after you escape, I have a related ancient book that I can show you.

But, you studied Western medicine after all, so you probably don’t understand those ancient texts very well!"

"So it's Chinese medicine!" When Su Yanqing heard what Su Xiangran said, the enthusiasm in his eyes instantly faded a little, "Let me make it clear in advance that I don't mean to question Chinese medicine at all!

It’s just that Chinese medicine is relatively slow in taking effect.”

Su Xiangran really couldn't understand. The two were clearly discussing how to get out of this situation, but how did the topic suddenly turn to discussing Chinese and Western medicine...

"Anything that can be passed down has its reasons." Although there were other things to discuss, Su Xiangran, who was once a "famous" doctor, felt it necessary to correct her brother's ideas.

Therefore, the two of them discussed this issue for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that they stopped arguing.

"Brother, I will tell mother about your affairs, but I think we should keep it secret from father as much as possible." The two finally got back to the business, and Su Xiangran told Su Yanqing her thoughts.

Su Yanqing certainly knew the reason. His father was too utilitarian. Although he was his only son, he was not sure what choice the other party would make after knowing the truth, so it was better not to test human nature.

As for her mother Cao Wanning, although she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, she is still a kind mother after all.

That night, Su Xiangran went home and told her mother Cao Wanning part of the story. Of course, she only said that her brother Su Yanqing was being targeted and could no longer stay in Hai City, so she found a "friend" to arrange for him to leave.

When Cao Wanning first heard the news, he was somewhat confused. His brother was Cao Ce, the commander-in-chief of Haicheng. If he was not safe here, where else could he be safe?

But after his daughter took him to see his son lying on the hospital bed covered in blood, Cao Wanning immediately changed his mind.

"Then go, leave as soon as possible." Cao Wanning urged, "If staying here means death, we should go as far as possible."

The three of them quickly reached a consensus, and of course this decision excluded Su's father, Su Weicheng.

The same night Cao Wanning visited his son Su Yanqing, he developed a high fever again, but this time the fever was so severe that although it could be temporarily lowered by "medicine", it soon rose again.

"Uncle, I want to send my brother to North City. I heard there are better medicines and doctors there." Su Xiangran specifically found her uncle Cao Ce and told him about her idea.

Cao Wanning had already gone to Cao Ce to cry and make a fuss before, so didn’t she blame herself in her words? But wasn’t the underlying meaning: she was incapable of protecting her family?

Cao Ce pursed his lips and originally wanted to refuse. The medical conditions in Hai City were already very good, and he was reluctant to agree to Su Xiangran's proposal. However, when he saw the other party's "familiar" look, he immediately fell silent again.

Forget it, why bother with a child! Cao Ce comforted himself.

"Then I'll send a few people to escort you over!" This was the only thing Cao Ce could do. "The world is not peaceful right now. It's too dangerous for the two of you to go on the road alone."

"Thank you, uncle!" Su Xiangran would certainly not "reject" the other party's kindness. After all, she still had to rely on the other party's people to get rid of suspicion.

Soon Su Xiangran and her brother Su Yanqing boarded a train to North City, accompanied by several of Cao Ce's confidants. The only variable seemed to be Cao Shixun, who insisted on coming along.

Looking at Cao Shixun who appeared in the sleeper compartment, Su Xiangran frowned slightly and felt a little annoyed.

"Cousin, it's a bit inconvenient for a girl like you to send your cousin to North City like this. I'll go with you." Cao Shixun got on the train earlier than Su Xiangran, and now he has arrived at the sleeper berth.

Su Xiangran didn't say anything, but asked someone to help her brother Su Yanqing lie down on the berth, then she turned on the IV she brought and started giving him an infusion.

The person who came to help was Cao Ce's man, and of course he also knew his own young marshal. Now, seeing that Cao Shixun's enthusiasm was met with indifference from Su Xiangran, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering if he knew something that he shouldn't know.
