The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 491: Painful Medicinal Bath

Before he could finish, she realized that Lu Zheng had misunderstood. Mo Zhu looked up at him angrily and interrupted him coldly, “Why? Do you think I want to take the opportunity to peek at your body? I don’t have such a hobby. You don’t have to take off your clothes in this medicinal bath. You can just sit in it!”

He didn’t need to take off his clothes? He didn’t need to take off his clothes in the medicinal bath for the medicine to unleash its full effect?

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng frowned slightly. He turned to Mo Zhu in confusion and asked, “Ms. Mo, the herbs we bought today are all very expensive. If I don’t take off my clothes and take the medicinal bath, will these spirit herbs be able to unleash the best effect? Will it delay the treatment of the illness?”

Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s question, Mo Zhu waved her hand nonchalantly and replied calmly, “The medicine I’ve mixed in the prescription for you has very domineering effects. When combined, it will take effect as long as it comes into contact with your skin. You don’t have to take off your clothes at all. It’s fine as long as your body is soaked in water!”

Seeing how confident Mo Zhu was, Lu Zheng was afraid that if he delayed any longer, he might make the girl unhappy. He lowered his eyes and looked at the water that had already turned a little muddy from the herbs. He gritted his teeth and walked in.

Unexpectedly, just as his body touched the hot water in the wooden bucket, a piercing pain came from every inch of his skin and went straight to his heart.

After sinking his entire body into the water, leaving only his head outside the medicine, Lu Zheng’s skin was so stimulated by the domineering medicine that not an inch of his skin was relaxed. The piercing pain followed the lines of his skin and entered his internal organs, causing every nerve of Lu Zheng to be tightly tense.

A moment later, wave after wave of pain came. Lu Zheng suddenly stuck his hand out of the water and grabbed the wall of the bucket tightly. He could not help but whimper in pain.

Seeing that Lu Zheng looked like he was in so much pain, Mo Zhu took two steps forward without batting an eyelid, as if she had already expected it. She calmly raised her hand and placed it on the man’s wrist that had just surfaced from the water. Mo Zhu checked his pulse briefly and said, “The herbs in the bucket can destroy the tissues and molecules of the poison in your body. Furthermore, they can expel the poison that has already seeped into your internal organs appropriately. The medicine has already started to take effect. You need to soak for three hours. You might feel some pain during this period. If you want to recover as soon as possible, you have to calm down and endure it.”

The prescription that Mo Zhu had given Lu Zheng today was a method to fight poison with poison that she had studied from a few ancient books. There were a few herbs in it that were rare in the market. Just picking out one of those poisons was enough to make one feel so much pain that they would rather die, not to mention that Lu Zheng was currently using many of them!

Although Lu Zheng was indeed a young and strong young man, this pain was unbearable for ordinary people. According to the ancient books, it was even more painful than having one’s bones broken or cramps. Therefore, it was understandable for Lu Zheng to cry out in pain.

After hearing Mo Zhu’s words very clearly, Lu Zheng could not help but grit his teeth tightly. His hands dug into the wall of the bucket with difficulty as he shouted in pain.

He also wanted to listen to Mo Zhu and endure the pain with all his might. He also wanted to recover as soon as possible and not continue being tortured in this body that was poisoned by countless poisons and struggle at death’s door. However, he did not know what medicine Mo Zhu had given him. He was really unable to endure it now!

......

Standing quietly by the wooden bucket, Mo Zhu calculated the time and checked Lu Zheng’s physical and mental state from time to time.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. It sounded like many martial artists had come.

Then, a strong voice came from Lu Zheng’s door. “Lu Zheng! Come out! How dare you hurt the beloved daughter of my family. I’ll take your life!”
