Chapter 111.2: Really Want to Ram Her Head Against a Pole (2/2)

“Alright, enough chattering! So annoying!” Tang Doudou shook her hand which had been gripped so tight that it hurt.

“Before Doctor Yu left, he gave me some medicine for Baili Yu’s injuries and instructed me on how frequently the medicine had to be changed. In the end, you didn’t even ask me about it, nor did you give me any prior notice that you wanted me to act bait so I didn’t even have the time to give those maids the instructions. I think you probably didn’t tell them to change the medicine either, right?”

After hearing this, Ye Chuan’s face turned pale, then red, then back to being pale. After a while, he asked Tang Doudou with an expression like he had lost his soul, “What would happen if we didn’t change his medicine?”

“The injury will obviously get infected!” said Tang Doudou lightly. However, the moment these words left her mouth, she felt unusually worried. After a wound got infected, if it wasn’t handled in a timely manner, it would likely cause death. As of now, she also felt a bit of regret at having acted so impulsively. However, regretting now was useless. What they needed to do now was to hurry and chase after Baili Yu and the others. Luckily it had only been half a day. Catching up in a day was probably still possible.

Tang Doudou slapped Ye Chuan, then climbed back onto the horse. Seeing that Ye Chuan was still not moving, she shouted, “What are you still dazing out for? Let’s go! If we end up late then you can enjoy yourself crying!”

She thought that Ye Chuan would immediately come to his senses after she put it this way but unexpectedly, he actually grabbed Tang Doudou’s reins and started to blank out again. His lips moved soundlessly for a long time before Tang Doudou faintly heard the words, “It’s, it’s already too late…”

“Aiyah, hurry up! We’ll still be able to catch up!” urged Tang Doudou. She thought that he was just worried they wouldn’t be able to catch up and didn’t think much about it.

However, Ye Chuan continued to stay there and repeat that sentence. “It’s already too late, too late…”

“Late…” Tang Doudou really wanted to burst out cursing. However, she forcefully stopped herself for the sake of her virtuous lady-like image. Suppressing her temper, she said, “We had set out first, then they set out. Even if they’re fast the distance between us wouldn’t be that great. Not to mention, we had frantically rushed all this way so they might still be slowly taking their time behind us.”

She started laughing ‘haha’, trying to ease Ye Chuan’s mood. She said half-jokingly, “Oh, I know, you’re planning on waiting here for them to arrive, right? Haha…”

“How could Master possibly have gone in the same direction as us? They’re not going to Huai City!” Yet while she was laughing, Ye Chuan gritted his teeth and revealed this serious news.

It hit Tang Doudou so hard she felt a bit dizzy. “Are… are you sure?”

“I was the one who arranged this, it’s all my fault!”

“What the phhuuck!?” In the end, Tang Doudou still burst out cursing. Then she abruptly turned around to look at the seemingly endless stretch of plain behind her. Her face twitched.

This time she practically wanted to ram her head against a pole!
