Chapter 420: Asleep At The Table
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The more Xu Ziling ate, the sleepier she felt. She couldn’t resist but put her hand to the corner of her mouth and take several big yawns.
Just then, she was just about to take a bite of food but her vision was so blurry that she couldn’t make out the food. Her hand also swayed uncontrollably.
Xu Ziling yawned several more times, before she fell onto the dining table with a thud. Her chopsticks clattered loudly onto the table.
Madam Xu heard the loud noise and looked over at Xu Ziling, sprawled and asleep on the table. All of a sudden, she was left stunned. “Ling... Ling’er, what’s wrong?”
Madam Xu immediately rushed over and stroked Xu Ziling’s forehead in utter shock. She realized that her temperature was normal, so her face relaxed and she let out a sigh of relief. She was just sleeping. “She must have not slept well last night to fall asleep whilst eating...”
Xu Jianchen saw that Xu Ziling fell asleep, then immediately got up and snatched the keys from Xu Ziling’s breast pocket.
Madam Xu was stunned. “Chen’er, what did you snatch from your sister?”
Xu Jianchen stroked his head and said, “Mother, don’t worry about it.”
Just then, he quickly snatched the keys from Xu Ziling’s chest pocket, turned heel, and ran out of the dining room to rescue someone.
Xu Jianfeng smiled secretly.
Xu Jianyao furrowed his brows in confusion, as he watched it all unfold. How did Big Sister fall asleep at the dining table? Also, what was Second Brother running off to do?
Madam Xu watched Xu Jianchen run out but didn’t order men to stop him. Instead, she looked at Xu Ziling worried and cried, “Shunzi, hurry up and call the doctor!”
“Yes, Madam.” Shunzi, who wore green attire, immediately ran to find the doctor.
Madam Xu noticed Xu Jianfeng’s snicker and got angry. “You little twerp. How can you laugh at a time like this? Have you no heart? Hurry up and carry your sister to my room to get some rest.”
Xu Jianfeng suddenly stopped smiling, as a troubled look crossed his face. For some reason, he felt great that Xu Ziling was secretly stabbed in the back by Second Brother, but he was also extremely furious to hear his mother’s cold words. He was in no mood to carry Xu Ziling out of the dining room.
Madam Xu slightly shook her head and cursed. “That twerp’s a waste of resources to raise! He can’t do a single thing I ask of him!”
With a slightly stunned look on his face, Xu Jianyao sat upright at the table.
Madam Xu walked over and stroked Xu Jianyao’s head. “Yao’er, sit here and eat. Mother’s going to step out for a moment and come back!” She said softly.
Xu Jianyao obediently nodded.
Madam Xu smiled, then turned heel and left.
Inside Madam Xu’s room, the doctor checked Xu Ziling’s pulse. “Madam Xu, the Eldest Young Lady had fainted from being drugged!”
Madam Xu suddenly clenched her jaw in anger and glared at Xu Jianfeng. “Tell me. How did this all happen? Is this you and Chen’er’s doing?”
Xu Jianfeng hurriedly waved his hands. “Mother, this has nothing to do with me. If you must scold someone, scold Second Brother!”
Madam Xu furrowed her elegant brows and spoke to the doctor. “Dr. Li, so will anything happen to Ling’er? How long will it take for her to wake up?”
The doctor stroked his beard. “Madam Xu, don’t worry. This kind of sedative isn’t strong. It won’t cause her any harm. From what I see, Young Miss Xu should wake up in two hour’s time,” he said flatly.
Madam Xu let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you Dr. Li for the examination,” She said with a faint smile.
“You’re welcome, Madam Xu,” said Dr. Li with a slight nod and smile on his face.
“Here, please escort Dr. Li home,” cried Madam Xu.
Dr. Li grabbed his medicine box as he got to his feet, then followed behind a maid out.
Madam Xu stroked Xu Ziling’s face affectionately.
“Here, call the Second Young Master over!” She cried angrily at the thought of Xu Jianchen.
“Yes, Madam,” replied the maid in green attire, before she turned around to seek Xu Jianchen.
