Chapter 592: Asthma Attack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The matter of finding Shen Xi couldn’t be delayed. After Murong Qiao and Su Rong communicated for a while, they helped look for her with Huo Yichen.
She first went to the back garden she had been to previously and found the table she had talked to Shen Xi at.
However, after the place was empty, someone else sat there. After asking, they said that they didn’t know anything.
“I don’t know the Shen Xi you mentioned. There was no one here when we came.” The other party shook his head and denied.
Seeing this, Murong Qiao dispelled the idea of waiting for her here and turned to look elsewhere.
After learning from Su Rong that the other party had never asked Shen Xi to look for her, Murong Qiao recalled that a servant had come to look for Shen Xi previously and felt that it was most likely done by someone else.
Since the auction had yet to begin, there were many people sitting in the garden.
However, Murong Qiao asked many people, and everyone said that they didn’t know where Shen Xi had gone.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
“I didn’t even notice that side.”
“I might not be able to help you.”
After being rejected by a group of people, Murong Qiao turned around and went to Shen Liu.
“Have you seen where Shen Xi went?” she asked with a frown.
To be honest, Shen Liu gave her an uncomfortable feeling. Although there was no evidence, when she thought of the way Shen Liu looked at her and Shen Xi previously…
Shen Liu sneered and shook the red wine gla.s.s in her hand to take a sip. “You’re asking me about Shen Xi?”
“Everyone knows that Shen Xi and I can’t stand each other. Isn’t it too—”
In the end, Shen Liu swallowed such words.
Even if she didn’t know Murong Qiao, she knew that this was the daughter of the Murong Family and not someone she could afford to offend.
However, when the other party took the initiative to ask her about Shen Xi, Shen Liu didn’t intend to answer patiently.
“How far can she go when she’s sick all day long?” She sneered.
Murong Qiao frowned. She was anxious because of the other party’s att.i.tude and answer, and because there was still no news of Shen Xi.
The later it was, the higher the possibility of something happening to Shen Xi. Thinking of Shen Xi, who was sitting opposite her with a soft smile just now, Murong Qiao subconsciously didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Murong Qiao took a deep breath and asked Shen Liu again, “You really don’t know where she went?”
She didn’t know about the others, but based on Shen Liu’s attention on Shen Xi just now, she didn’t believe that the other party wouldn’t know about Shen Xi’s movements.
“I said I don’t know,” Shen Liu replied quickly.
On the other hand, the girl sitting beside Shen Liu spoke carefully.
“Her body has always been very weak. Perhaps she’s tired and went back to rest,” the girl said.
From the looks of it, Murong Qiao knew that she couldn’t get an answer from Shen Liu. She turned around and went elsewhere.
Recalling the direction that the servant had left in with Shen Xi just now, she walked over with her general perception.
Looking at Murong Qiao’s figure gradually walking away, the girl who had spoken just now finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her entire body relaxed, but her face revealed some regret and worry.
“They’re in such a hurry to find her… Did something really happen to Shen Xi?” Previously, when she agreed to help Shen Liu, she only said that she wanted to tease Shen Xi.
However, seeing that they were making a fuss to look for her, the girl subconsciously felt guilty and regretful.
Shen Liu’s expression was calm, and her tone was flat. “What are you afraid of?”
These words were spoken very confidently.
Other than Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen, no other guests knew about Shen Xi’s disappearance.
Everyone in the hall outside was still smiling. They praised and chatted with each other, talking about business.
Only the servants looked a little chaotic after receiving Su Rong’s order to look for her daughter. They looked for their Eldest Miss everywhere.
However, in this panic, no one realized that the door of a small warehouse was being knocked on from the inside.
Ever since she was locked in the warehouse, Shen Xi had tried her best to knock on the locked door, trying to attract the attention of the servants coming and going so that she could be released.
But no matter how she knocked, no one came over.
Moreover, in the end, she lost her strength. The knocking on the door became softer and softer, and the sound was drowned out by the commotion in the hall outside.
Shen Xi slowly sat on the ground with her back facing the door. Looking at the items stuffed on the shelves of the warehouse and the almost cramped s.p.a.ce in front of her, she suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.
She had a bad feeling, but she felt that her breathlessness seemed to be becoming more and more obvious, so she hurriedly wanted to find the medicine she had on her.
However, after searching for a long time, Shen Xi couldn’t find it.
She used all her strength to breathe and felt her vision darken. In a daze, she suddenly remembered that she had secretly gone out today and seemed to have forgotten to bring her asthma inhaler.
“Is there anyone…?”
Shen Xi’s weak shout was drowned out by the silence of the warehouse.
Half an hour had pa.s.sed since Shen Xi disappeared. Murong Qiao frowned as she walked in a complicated corridor. After searching this area and not finding anything, she resisted the urge to sigh and strode forward again.
But further ahead was the kitchen. Murong Qiao looked over without much hope, but her gaze suddenly froze in front of a door.
Seeing that the hand on the gla.s.s was still moving slightly, Murong Qiao immediately perked up and walked over. Through the gla.s.s, she saw Shen Xi, who had been missing for a long time.
However, the other party’s condition didn’t look optimistic. Her eyes were closed and she leaned against the door with difficulty in breathing.
When Murong Qiao saw her like this, her heart skipped a beat as she thought of an asthma attack.
“Shen Xi? Shen Xi?” She tried to call out to the other party to attract Shen Xi’s attention. “Can you hear me?”
Murong Qiao had only heard a little about asthma, but she didn’t know much about it.
However, seeing Shen Xi like this, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but become anxious.
“Shen Xi!” She slammed the door.
The vibration brought about by this force seemed to have some effect, so Shen Xi barely sensed it and opened her eyes.
Seeing that Shen Xi was still conscious, Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She first looked down at the door. It was the most basic iron lock. She reached out to open it, pulled the door open, and reached out to scoop Shen Xi up. However, her strength was very ineffective. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn’t bring Shen Xi along.
Moreover, she still didn’t know what the other party’s situation was and if she could move. Murong Qiao first helped Shen Xi to the side and placed her against the wall. Then, she turned around and went out to pull a servant over.
There was no need for Murong Qiao to explain. When the servant saw Shen Xi’s condition, he directly pulled out an inhaler from his pocket and placed it in her mouth and nose in a hurry to help her inhale it.
“Eldest… Eldest Miss’s asthma is acting up.” The servant’s voice was a little shaky.
After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Fortunately, his remaining rationality still remembered that he had brought the medicine.
For the sake of the Eldest Miss’s safety, Su Rong had asked the servants of the Shen family to bring some first-aid medicine to prevent any unexpected situations.
He didn’t expect this to really come in handy.
After inhaling the medicine, Shen Xi’s expression immediately improved a lot, and her originally rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
The servant was not sure if she had recovered or not. “I don’t know much about the Eldest Miss’s illness. Why don’t I go get the doctor—”
“Help her out first.” Murong Qiao made a decision. She was a little worried about Shen Xi’s health..
