402: Chapter 385 Forbidden Love_1 402: Chapter 385 Forbidden Love_1 “The eldest daughter of the prestigious Sun family in our county has recently been estranged from her family and attempted suicide.
She took the opportunity when her family wasn’t paying attention to drink herbicide Paraquat, and I heard that no famous doctor has been able to cure her.
Now, the Sun Family Patriarch is almost driven mad with worry and is widely searching for capable individuals to save his daughter’s life, offering a three-hundred-year spirit dicine as part of the reward.”
In a herbal dicine shop, the owner spoke to Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan.
Lu Chuan clasped his hands towards the owner and said, “Thank you for telling us this news.
We will go to the Sun family and take a look at the situation right away.”
The owner sighed and said, “Actually, you’re just wasting your ti.
That herbicide Paraquat is even more powerful than the deadliest poison.
Those who have drunk it have never survived.
If it could really be cured, with the Sun family’s background and wealth, it would have been cured long ago.”
Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Just because others can’t cure it, doesn’t an I can’t.
Although herbicide Paraquat is difficult to treat, it’s still not a problem for .”
After saying this, he left the herbal shop with Situ Qinghuan.
The owner sighed and muttered, “The youth today are really arrogant, thinking they’re reborn Miracle Healer Hua Tuo after learning a bit of dical skill, able to cure anything.
Little do they know how far they still have to go.”
On the way to the Sun family, Situ Qinghuan looked at Lu Chuan with suspicion and asked, “Can you really cure the Sun family’s eldest daughter?”
Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Of course, why, do you also doubt my abilities?”
Situ Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, “I just think that for soone your age, it’s already very rare to have such strength.
How could you possibly have had the ti to study dicine that thoroughly?”
A hint of pride appeared on Lu Chuan’s face as he said, “There’s no helping it.
I excel in both dicine and martial arts.
Aren’t you a bit in awe of now?”
Situ Qinghuan rolled her eyes and said, “Shaless!”
Lu Chuan laughed without comnt, not taking it to heart.
He then said, “When we get to the Sun family, let’s say we are a couple who wander the world specializing in treating people’s illnesses, to prevent the Sun family from associating us with those currently being pursued by the Profound Sect.
It would be troubleso if they did.”
Situ Qinghuan widened her eyes and said, “Who wants to pretend to be your wife?
The Sun family is surely preoccupied with finding soone to cure their eldest daughter.
They won’t have ti to care about the Profound Sect’s affairs.
They might not have even heard about it.”
Lu Chuan said, “It’s just for precaution.”
Situ Qinghuan said, “I still don’t want to pretend to be your wife.”
Lu Chuan thought for a mont and said, “Then let’s pretend to be siblings.
That should be okay, right?
We can’t be at a loss for words when they ask us, or it’ll be troubleso if they beco suspicious.”
Situ Qinghuan said, “That’s more like it.”
When the two arrived at the Sun family villa, they inford the gatekeeper of their purpose, and he imdiately ran in to report.
After a short while, the Sun Family Patriarch, Sun Qinglian, ran out.
After seeing that Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan were so young, he paused for a mont and asked, “You are the ones who say you can save my daughter?”
Lu Chuan imdiately clasped his hands and said, “Yes, my sister and I have wandered all over, curing countless difficult and complicated diseases.
Passing by here, we heard that Patriarch Sun’s daughter is on the brink of death, so we ca to see if we could possibly lend a hand.”
Sun Qinglian was sowhat skeptical about whether Lu Chuan’s skills were truly sufficient, since the two of them looked so young.
However, as his daughter’s life was now hanging by a thread, he couldn’t let go of even the slightest hope.
So he quickly made a welcoming gesture and said, “Please co in quickly.
My daughter’s condition is rapidly deteriorating.
If we can’t find a cure soon, I fear…”
Lu Chuan said, “Patriarch Sun need not worry.
Although herbicide Paraquat is tricky, to , it’s not considered a severe illness.
As long as there are no accidents, there’s a ninety percent chance of curing her.”
Sun Qinglian’s eyes brightened, “Really?”
Lu Chuan said indifferently, “I never boast.”
Sun Qinglian hurriedly said, “Then I must implore you to make sure to save my daughter!”
Lu Chuan asked, “Do we know why Miss Sun would resort to drinking herbicide Paraquat?”
Sun Qinglian sighed and said, “It’s a rather absurd story, sothing of a disgrace for our Sun family.
You should first treat my daughter; I’ll tell you about it afterward.”
Seeing that he didn’t wish to discuss it, Lu Chuan didn’t press further.
The three quickly entered the villa and ca to the door of a bedroom on the second floor.
Several maids were standing at the bedroom door, all looking weary and helpless.
Sun Qinglian asked, “How is the young miss now?”
One maid replied, “It’s the sa as before.
Moreover, she won’t let anyone enter the room.
As soon as we go in, she gets extrely agitated and starts vomiting blood.
We don’t dare to go in anymore.”
Sun Qinglian sighed, approached the door, knocked, and then pushed it open, saying, “Miaomiao, I’ve brought doctors to save your life…”
A water glass ca flying, smashing against the doorfra and shattering to pieces.
Then ca a hysterical yell, “Get out!
I don’t need any treatnt; just let die!
Don’t anybody co in, or I’ll die right in front of you!”
Sun Qinglian said with heartfelt emotion, “My good daughter, please let the doctor take a look at you.
If sothing happens to you, I would be heartbroken to death!”
Sun Miaomiao yelled back, “If you really want to save , let my brother co back and see .
Otherwise, I refuse to be treated!”
Suddenly, Sun Qinglian’s brow furrowed tightly and, after a helpless sigh, he closed the door again.
He looked at Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan and said, “Forget it, both of you should leave.
With Miaomiao like this, it seems impossible for anyone to treat her again, and having drunk herbicide Paraquat, there’s basically no chance of recovery.
I sought countless famous doctors to treat her while she was unconscious, but all were futile.
I asked you to co, simply because I didn’t want to give up hope, but now it seems that there is no need for to persist anymore.
Just let her have her own way.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly said, “Patriarch Sun, I can truly cure your daughter.
This is a human life we’re talking about—you can’t just give up like this!”
Sun Qinglian said with a helpless face, “I don’t want to give up either, but now she doesn’t even let anyone enter her room, let alone cooperate with treatnt.
This will only make her condition worsen faster!”
Lu Chuan thought for a mont and said, “Family Head Sun, your daughter just said that if she sees her brother, she will accept treatnt.
Why don’t you let her brother co and see her?”
Upon hearing this, Sun Qinglian’s face showed hesitation.
It seed he didn’t want to bring up the matter, but ultimately, he sighed and said, “Well, since you want to know, I’ll tell you the reason.”
“My daughter and that damnable brother of hers, behind our backs, secretly dated for several years.
The two of them loved each other fiercely.
Not long ago, I discovered it.”
“Such a thing, no matter when it happens, is always a huge joke.
But after being discovered, the two of them showed no sha.
Instead, they adamantly said they wanted to be together and even planned to marry!”
“How could I possibly agree to such a violation of social norms?
On the sa day, I beat that damnable son of mine half to death, then sent him abroad and settled a marriage for him overseas.
He’s about to get married.”
“My foolish daughter couldn’t accept this, and used death to coerce .
I originally thought she was just threatening and that after making a scene for a while, she would be fine, but to my surprise, she actually drank herbicide Paraquat and attempted suicide.”
“Now that damnable son of mine still does not know about this.
If I call him back, who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up again.”
After listening to Sun Qinglian’s account, Lu Chuan’s face showed complete shock, having never imagined such a complicated situation.
This sister, for the sake of her brother, didn’t hesitate to attempt suicide—clearly, she was not rely playing around.
Situ Qinghuan was also astounded.
Initially, she guessed the girl must have attempted suicide due to love, but never had she imagined that the one she loved would be her own brother.
Even with her experience of various ups and downs, she was taken aback by this revelation.
Sun Qinglian said wearily, “That’s how things are.
Because of this, I’ve been unable to sleep for days.
I did my best to save my daughter, but if she refuses to cooperate, there’s nothing I can do.
If she indeed passes away like this, then…
I will have no choice but to accept it.”
Lu Chuan thought to himself, You can’t give up, otherwise, where am I to find three-hundred-year spirit dicine.
He imdiately said with a serious face, “Family Head Sun, I have a way to save your daughter.
It’s not yet ti to give up entirely.”
Sun Qinglian furrowed his brows and asked, “My daughter is utterly unresponsive now, what can you do to save her?”
Situ Qinghuan’s eyes widened, curious where Lu Chuan’s confidence ca from to make such a claim.
After all, the crux of the matter wasn’t the herbicide Paraquat but the sibling romance.
For Lu Chuan to treat Sun Miaomiao, he would first have to convince her to cooperate with him, and she couldn’t imagine what strategy Lu Chuan could have that would make soone embroiled in a taboo love willingly comply.
Lu Chuan said, “I don’t have ti to explain this to you.
You just need to believe I can save your daughter.
Right now, I need to take my sister into the room to save soone, and you must ensure that no one goes in to disturb us.”
Unable to fathom Lu Chuan’s plans, Sun Qinglian was at a loss, but as matters stood, he had no choice but to clutch at straws, so he nodded and said, “Fine, as long as you can save my daughter, I assure you I’ll listen to everything you say!”
Seeing Sun Qinglian agree, Lu Chuan imdiately grabbed Situ Qinghuan and pushed open the door to enter.
Another water glass ca smashing towards the doorway, which Lu Chuan caught with his hand before closing the door again.
Sun Miaomiao lay on the bed with a pale face, looking weak and emotionally agitated as she saw Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan, shouting, “Who are you people?
Get out!
I refuse treatnt!”
After she spoke, she grabbed a bottle of dicine by her side and threw it towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan quickly caught it and said, “Miss Miaomiao, please calm down for a mont.
I completely understand how you feel right now.
We’re not here to make things worse for you.”
Situ Qinghuan glanced at Lu Chuan, curious about how this man intended to persuade this misguided girl.
Sun Miaomiao scread hysterically, “What could you possibly understand?
No one understands at all!”
Lu Chuan replied, “Who says no one understands you?
Aren’t you in love with your brother?
In this regard, my sister and I can relate to your feelings very well, even to the extent of feeling empathy.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Miaomiao was montarily stunned.
Situ Qinghuan’s eyes widened, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
Sun Miaomiao stared at Lu Chuan for a few seconds before quickly asking, “What do you an?”
Lu Chuan said, “My point is very simple.
My sister and I, just like you, have also fallen for each other and consequently faced rejection from our family.
That’s why we left our clan to wander the world, living a life without restraints.”
After speaking, he pulled Situ Qinghuan into his embrace and asked, “Sister, isn’t that right?”
Situ Qinghuan’s face showed resistance, and she imdiately tried to break free from Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan then said through a whispered ssage, “This is a matter of life and death.
We must go along with her way of thinking and find a way to make her believe we are on her side.
Only then can we persuade her to cooperate with the treatnt.
Don’t let us down now.”
Situ Qinghuan frowned and gave Lu Chuan a look.
Although she did not expect Lu Chuan’s thod to be such, she had to admit his reasoning was sound.
Faced with no choice, she reluctantly went along with Lu Chuan, saying bashfully, “Yes…
that’s right.”
