Volume 1: The Genius Doctor's Hidden Edge Chapter 21 - Sudden Change! Caught Off Guard!

  About a minute later, Tang Xin led Xia Xue and Xia Yu out of the side room with a smile on their faces. She glanced back at the figure who was shrinking in the corner with a red face, and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

  Tang Zihao glanced at the clothes in his hand, then looked at the figure shrinking into the corner and laughed mockingly: "Duan Wuchi, you can stay here first! We'll leave first." He said, also laughing loudly as he followed to leave.

  Because the door was open, they left and a waiter came in to clean up. Who would have thought that as soon as he went in, he saw the figure huddled in the corner, almost stripped bare, and his eyes widened in shock: "Shan, Shan Shao?"

  What's going on? How did this guy end up with only a pair of four-cornered pants to cover his shame? What has he done?!

  Duan's face turned red with rage, and he bellowed: "What are you staring at? Hurry up and go find me a set of clothes!" He was really done for today! He had actually ended up in such a sorry state. If this got out, how could he still survive in the imperial city?

  "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away." The little servant hastily responded and turned around to run out.

  As he saw Xiao Er running out, he quietly got up and approached the window to look down. He saw that the slender figure in blue was gradually moving away, and his heart couldn't help but ripple with ripples. He muttered to himself in a daze: "So she's Tang Xin, so ugly when she was young, how did she become so beautiful when she grew up..."

  Thinking of her soft and gentle voice when talking to him, showing him that bright and charming smile, she couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

  On the other side, when Tang Xin and Tang Zihao returned to the mansion, they saw their mother walking back and forth in the front yard. The two of them exchanged a glance and then walked forward.

  "Mom, we're back." The two of them said in unison.

  Tang Xin came to her side, warmly holding her hand and asking: "Mother, have you eaten? Why are you alone here? Where's Father?"

  Bai Yan's beautiful face was filled with worry, and she said to the two of them: "Zi Hao, Xin Er, your father still hasn't returned until now, and no one has come back to say anything. He rarely does this without leaving any instructions, and I don't know if something might have happened."

  "Father hasn't come back yet? He should have finished his morning court by now!" Tang Zihao was surprised, then furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before comforting her, "Mother, don't worry too much, maybe Father is delayed due to some matter, that's why he's late coming back, let's wait a bit longer!"

  Tang Xin also comforted her, saying: "Mother, Father is a strong martial artist of the fourth level of Wu Zong, ordinary people can't hurt him, don't worry too much, just like what Fat Brother said, maybe he's been delayed by something."

  "But I got up early today, and my heart has been restless all day, as if something is going to happen. I'm still worried, and there's always some unease in my heart."

  "Let's do it this way! Fat brother, you go out and take a look, I'll stay home with mom."

  "Alright, you go with your mother to get something to eat first, I'll take a look." Tang Zihao nodded and turned around to head out.

  "Xiaoxue, go get some food, I'll stay with Mother in the courtyard and wait for them to come back."

  "Yes." Xia Xue replied softly, then turned around and walked away.

  "Mother, come, let's sit over there for a while." She supported her as she walked to the stone table on one side of the courtyard, and in her heart, she was secretly wondering if something had really happened.

  The hardest time to wait is when they are about to return, Bai Yan often looks towards the direction of the main gate in the courtyard, wanting to see if they have returned. As time passes, the unease in her heart gradually spreads, until finally, she can't even sit still.

  "Xīn er, how come your father and brother haven't returned yet?" Bai Yan's handkerchief was already crumpled from being twisted with worry.

  "Maybe I'll be back soon."

  She looked out the window, her eyes filled with deep thought. Something didn't feel right. With her father's personality, if he was going to be late, he would definitely have someone come back and say something, but now...

  "He's back! Young master is back!" Xia Yu's voice rang out beside them, and several people looked towards the door to see that Tang Zihao had indeed returned.

  Bai Yan hastily went forward to greet him, looked back at his body, and didn't see Tang Zhengyu's figure, so she couldn't help but ask: "Zi Hao, where is your father? Why didn't he come back with you?"

  "I didn't find Father, so I went to the homes of several uncles who are close to Father. They said that Father left after breakfast, but they also don't know where he went. That's when I thought about coming back to see if Father has returned?"

  "No." Tang Xin shook her head.

  Bai Yan's eyes suddenly turned red: "How could this be? Will something go wrong? What can we do?"

  "Mother, don't worry, I'll send someone out to look for her right away!" Tang Zihao said in a deep voice, and then turned to Tang Xin: "Little sister, take good care of Mother."

  "En, I will." She nodded and supported Bai Yan, saying: "Mother, we will find Father's, don't worry, come, I'll accompany you to rest for a while!"

  Bai Yan shook her head and said, "No, I want to wait for Zheng Yu to come back here."

  Seeing this, Tang Xin had no choice but to accompany him on the side. However, she didn't expect that Tang Zihao would take people out and not return home until the night was dark...

  "Mother, put on a cloak and be careful not to catch a chill." She carefully put a cloak over her and tied the sash for her.

  "Darling, it's so late, why haven't they come back yet?"

  "Brother Pang sent many people out to search, and they will definitely find Father," she said softly. Seeing the fatigue on her face, she added, "It's cool at night, Mother, go inside the house!"

  "No," Bai Yan shook her head, "I'll wait here, and when they come back, I'll be the first to know."

  Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by anxious voices came, and the girls in the yard felt a sudden tension. They quickly looked towards the gate and saw Tang Zihao hurrying in with a familiar figure on his back. As soon as she saw that person, Bai Yan's heart trembled, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Tang Xin supported her by her side.

  "Quick! Go get a doctor!" Tang Zihao shouted back at someone as he rushed inside.

  "What's going on, Zheng Yu?" Bai Yan trembled as she moved forward, looking at her husband who was motionless and lying on their son's back, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, her heart filled with extreme panic.

  "Sister, younger sister, when I found Father outside the city, Father was already unconscious and had multiple injuries." Tang Zihao hastily said as he passed by them, his footsteps not stopping for a moment as he rushed into the house.

  Bai Yan heard this and felt her blood rushing up, her vision went black, and she fainted.

  "Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu, you two see my mother back to her room and take good care of her." Tang Xin handed Bai Yan over to the two of them and then quickly ran into the house.

  Just now in that fleeting glance, it seems her father was also poisoned!
