Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 521: Chapter 522: Young Master, I’ve Been Poisoned Wang Xiangxiang continued to gasp for air, her body starting to react strangely, feeling an unbearable scorching heat. She suddenly widened her eyes, her face turning pale with terror; the medicine those people had given her had taken effect.

”Miss, what’s wrong with you?”

Wang Xiangxiang moved her body backward and said in bits and pieces, ”Don’t, don’t touch me.”

”...” Had the young woman been scared out of her wits, afraid of his touch? He quickly explained, ”Miss, rest assured, I won’t touch you.”

Enduring with all her might, she licked her dried lips with her tongue, feeling extremely thirsty, ”I want to drink water.”

”Oh, okay.” The man in the carriage hastily handed his travel water flask to Wang Xiangxiang.

When Wang Xiangxiang took it, her hand accidentally brushed against the man’s fingers, causing her body to involuntarily shudder.

Wang Xiangxiang gulped down the entire flask of water, but still felt it wasn’t enough. She became frightened; could she die from this?

With a trembling voice, she said, ”Young master, I’ve been poisoned.”

”What?” The man in the carriage was surprised, observing the increasingly unwell young woman opposite him—her little face frightfully red and gasping for breath—and recalling how she had been bullied by those men.

Could it be?

He suddenly realized what kind of poison she meant by being poisoned.

In the absence of a doctor, aside from a man being the remedy, there was no other solution. What should he do now? Turning back to find a doctor was out of the question due to time constraints; he could only head to the Yang Family Village and soak the young woman in cool water first.

He began to lose his composure, shouting ahead, ”Ada, go faster, the girl can’t hold on much longer.”

”Yes, young master.” Two whip cracks sounded from atop the horse as the carriage sped up.

”Miss, hang in there. We will soon arrive at the Yang Family Village.”

”Mhm.” Although she responded, she couldn’t hold on much longer, especially with the two of them so close together inside the carriage.

At this point, she was nearly unconscious, turning into a woman yearning for affection.

Without further thought, her hands clung to the man’s neck, and her mouth found his, seeking that momentary chill which made her crave more and more.

The man was startled by Wang Xiangxiang’s action, his eyes widening, and he pushed her back into her seat; he almost regretted saving her.

But he couldn’t blame her; he knew she had been poisoned and was almost unconscious.

To stop Wang Xiangxiang from causing more chaos, he pulled off his belt and tied her up.

Seeing the woman tied there, still twisting her body, he felt extremely annoyed and closed his eyes to avoid sight of her.

However, from time to time, she would still let out tempting sounds, making the man’s face grow darker.

Fortunately, the journey to the Yang Family Village was short, and they soon arrived. Entering the village, Ada promptly inquired about the household with the water pond.

After being informed, the carriage directly stopped at the entrance of Yang Ming’s house. Inside the house, Xiaoxiao was still pasting paper when she heard the sound of the carriage. She hurriedly ran out and saw Wang Xiangxiang being carried out by a strange man.

”Sister Wang, what happened to you?”
