At dusk, in a ward of the hospital.

Lu Chen finally woke up after sleeping for a while.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes, a surprising voice sounded in his ears.

"Hey, Lu, you're not dead?"

Chase Lu followed the sound and saw Cao Anan sitting next to him, looking at him blankly.

"Why, you seem disappointed that I'm not dead?" Lu Chen said angrily.

"Ahem... Well, I'm just a little surprised." Cao Anan smiled awkwardly.

"Where is your sister?" Lu Chen was too lazy to care.

"Oh, she went to ask for medicine for you."

Cao Anan looked up and down and said: "I heard that you were sucking some kind of black snake venom. This thing is so powerful that it can seal your throat when you see blood! It's a miracle that you can survive to this day!"

"Yes, the venom of the Black Death Snake is really powerful. It can actually make me sleep? It is indeed one of the top ten strange poisons." Lu Chen sighed.

With his physical condition, he is almost invulnerable to all poisons.

However, the venom of the Black Death Snake required him to sleep to resolve it, which was really terrifying!

"Why do your words sound weird?" Cao Anan scratched his head.

Before she could recover, two people suddenly walked in from the door.

One is Concubine Cao Xuan, and the other is a well-dressed, plump and beautiful young woman.

The beautiful young woman is somewhat similar to the sisters Cao Xuanfei. Not only is she well-dressed, but she also has a very strong aura.

His whole body exudes the aura of a superior person.

"Lu Chen! Are you finally awake? How do you feel?"

Concubine Cao Xuan's eyes lit up and she quickly approached the hospital bed.

"I felt pretty good after a good sleep." Lu Chen smiled.

"Come, this is the secret medicine I just asked for. Take it with water and make sure you are safe."

Concubine Cao Xuan put a small white bottle into Lu Chen's hand and poured a cup of hot water at the same time.

"Secret medicine? What secret medicine?" Lu Chen was a little curious.

"Don't underestimate it, this is the Jiedu Powder carefully developed by the miracle doctor Jiang Baichuan after three years. It can treat all kinds of strange poisons!" Concubine Cao Xuan said.

"Jiang Baichuan?"

Lu Chen was startled and looked a little surprised.

"What, do you know Doctor Jiang?" Concubine Cao Xuan raised her eyebrows.

"I was lucky enough to meet him before." Lu Chen did not deny it.

A few years ago, Jiang Baichuan was chased by his enemy. He happened to pass by and saved the enemy's life.

As for Jiedu Powder, it was also the formula he gave to Jiang Baichuan.

"Divine Doctor Jiang has always seen dragons but never their tails. It's not easy to see him once. You should take the detoxification powder first to avoid any accidents." Concubine Cao Xuan urged.

"There is no need for the Jiedu Powder. The remaining poison in my body has been cleared. You should take it back." Lu Chen declined politely.

"How can there be any reason to return the treasure that I finally deceived? No matter what happens, you should keep it in case you need it in case of emergencies."

Concubine Cao Xuan couldn't help but stuff the Jiedu powder into his pocket.

Lu Chen had no choice but to accept it.

No matter what, it is a good intention after all.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. I just saw Li Qingyao at the entrance of the hospital." Concubine Cao Xuan said suddenly.

"Oh? Why did she come to the hospital?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.

"I heard that Mr. Li is seriously ill and is being treated in the hospital."

"Seriously ill?" Lu Chen's expression changed: "Are you sure?"

"It should be true, they are downstairs right now." Concubine Cao Xuan said.

"I gonna go see."

Lu Chen didn't say much and immediately stood up and went out.

Mr. Li treated him like his own child, but now that he was suddenly seriously ill, he naturally couldn't just sit back and ignore him.

"Concubine Xuan, you wasted a favor from my Cao family just because of him?"

At this time, the beautiful young woman standing aside suddenly spoke.

This person is none other than Concubine Cao Xuan’s mother, Chen Shuang!

"I'm just here to repay the favor you owe Divine Doctor Jiang. It has nothing to do with you." Concubine Cao Xuan said calmly.

"What? Do you like that kid just now?" Chen Shuang frowned slightly.

"So what if you like it?" Concubine Cao Xuan raised her chin.

His words were not shy at all, and were even a bit provocative.

"You should know that there is no relationship between the two of you. He is just an unknown little character; and you are the daughter of a wealthy family and the future head of the Cao family. Your status is very different!" Chen Shuang reminded.

"I don't care." Concubine Cao Xuan looked indifferent.

"But I care!"

Chen Shuang said righteously: "You can be willful about other things, but not about marriage! Don't forget, you are already engaged to Guan Hong!"

"Sorry, I have no interest in Shangguanhong." Concubine Cao Xuan said

"This matter is not up to you! You are the eldest lady of the Cao family. While enjoying the glory and wealth, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities!" Chen Shuang scolded.

"Responsibility? Haha... Could it be that the responsibility you are talking about is to get to the top through marriage?" Concubine Cao Xuan sneered.

"I'm doing this for your own good, and for the good of the whole family. Shangguan Hong is a proud son of heaven. He has already reached the rank of general at a young age, and his future is limitless! If you marry him, it will be a perfect match!" Chen Shuang said.

"You can marry me if you want, but I won't marry you anyway!" Concubine Cao Xuan was very straightforward.

"Why are you so stubborn? Once you refuse the marriage, the position of the head of the Cao family will never fall to you! Do you understand it or not?!"

"It doesn't matter, I'm not interested anyway."

"Is it worth it for you to sacrifice your own future for that kid?"

"Of course it's worth it. In my eyes, Lu Chen will never be worse than Shangguan Hong!"

"Do you just believe him that much?" Chen Shuang said with a sullen face.

"That's right!" Concubine Cao Xuan raised her head.

Hearing this, Chen Shuang suddenly fell silent.

As if she had made a decision, she took a deep breath and said coldly: "Okay! Since you don't give up, then I will give you a chance! If that boy can complete my three tests, he will marry the Shangguan family. , I will never mention it again!”

"What test?" Concubine Cao Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"First, defeat Ma Tianhao and prove your ability!" Chen Shuang said.

"Ma Tianhao has the Xuanwu Sect as his backer. Isn't it a bit hard to defeat him?" Concubine Cao Xuan frowned.

"Hmph! If you can't even deal with Ma Tianhao, why should you enter my Cao family? Why should you confront Guan Hong?!"

"Anyway, I've given you a chance. If you can't do it, just go back to the provincial capital and get married!"

After saying a few words, Chen Shuang turned around and left.
