I Was Sold to My Mortal Enemy (Double Transmigrations)

Chapter 40



After waiting for over an hour at the Bai Mansion, they were abruptly dismissed with a few curt words. The scorching sun blazed down upon them, making it difficult to keep their eyes open. Shi Yi’s face had reddened from the heat, and he felt tired and hungry. After having waited for so long in Bai Mansion without even having tea, they immediately rushed off the boat to find something to eat.

The news that Shi Mo wouldn’t be returning for ten or fifteen days weighed on Shi Yi’s mind. He tugged at Pei Xing’s sleeve and suggested, “Should we rent a small courtyard to wait for their return?”

Pei Xing touched Shi Yi’s flushed face and placed an umbrella over him, gazing towards the Bai Mansion’s main entrance. “No, we’ll come back tomorrow.”

He then took Shi Yi with him and headed to a nearby inn. They went to an upper room, asked for hot water, and bathed together.

Pei Xing brought food from downstairs and Shi Yi couldn’t wait, took a few bites first with cheeks bulging.

He inquired, “What are we going to see tomorrow? Didn’t that lady say Shi Mo is with Bai Jingxiao on a business trip?”

“No, you’ve forgotten, they have a child.” Pei Xing shook his head and poured a glass of water for Shi Yi. “They can’t travel for business with a child in tow. Shi Mo should still be at the Bai family’s residence.”

Shi Yi’s heart lifted upon hearing this, and he inquired, “If Shi Mo is here, why didn’t the madam let us see him?”

Pei Xing patted Shi Yi on the back and reassured him, “Don’t be anxious. After dinner, we’ll rest for a while. I’ll take you in for a visit in the middle of the night.”

“Visit the Bai Mansion at night?” Shi Yi’s eyes widened, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. “This is so thrilling!”

The decision made, Shi Yi found himself unable to sleep, tossing and turning in bed. “I can’t sleep, what should I do?” he asked, looking at Pei Xing with wide eyes.

Pei Xing kissed him and pulled him into his arms, removing his belt. “Come on, let’s get some exercise to expend your energy.”

Shi Yi blushed and chided Pei Xing, “How long has it been? Why are you still asking for it?”

“Baby, you are too anxious. I’m here to calm your mood.” Pei Xing said and pressed the shuanger’s head to kiss him.

Shi Yi realized that his body was too sensitive and easily aroused by the man, so he finally surrendered. In the end, he fell asleep and only woke up in the middle of the night.

.

His legs felt weak, his waist was sore, and he cursed Pei Xing for this. However, Pei Xing dressed them both, and they escaped out of the inn’s window.

Shi Yi closed his eyes in fear as they descended, only daring to open them when his feet touched the ground. The deserted late-night streets and the gusts of cool wind made a little anxious.

Pei Xing carried Shi Yi on his back, and they hurried to the Bai Mansion with swift steps. Once they arrived, Shi Yi couldn’t help but glance back at the moonlit streets, shivering with excitement.

Pei Xing seemed quite familiar with the Bai Mansion. He carried Shi Yi through several courtyards until they reached a relatively secluded and isolated one. He gently lowered Shi Yi to the ground.

Shi Yi whispered into Pei Xing’s ear, “Is Shi Mo here? And why are you so familiar with this place?”

Pei Xing replied softly, “I’ve been here before. I asked Mr. Lu a few times about this mansion.”

The small courtyard was dim, and only a single room was still illuminated with candles. Coughing sounds occasionally came from the room. Shi Yi approached the room cautiously. When he reached the door, he hesitated to open it. All his memories of Shi Mo were inherited from the original owner. Even though he was a stranger in this world, he felt the deep love and affection between Shi Mo and the original owner.

Pei Xing held Shi Yi’s hand and pushed open the door. The creaking sound startled everyone in the room.

Shi Mo, holding a child in his arms, looked at them in shock. When Shi Yi saw his brother, he was filled with emotion. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he called out to his big brother. Seeing Shi Mo clearly, his heart ached.

Shi Mo was dressed in a thin light purple robe, his hair disheveled. He looked gaunt with a pale face and colorless lips. The baby in his arms wore a shabby outfit.

When Shi Mo saw Shi Yi, he was overjoyed.

“Shi Yi, you’re alright. That’s good, that’s good.”

Shi Mo had been taken away by the Bai family when Shi Yi was too ill to wake up. At that time, the family had been in dire financial straits. Shi Mo had no choice but to work for the Bai family to earn some money. During these three years, it was as though he was trapped in a cage, unable to contact his family.

“I’m fine, brother. But why are you like this? Have they been mistreating you?” Shi Yi took a step closer, held Shi Mo’s arm, and looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, he was surprised the commotion hadn’t woken the baby up.

Shi Mo shook his head, tears streaming down his face, and he gripped Shi Yi’s hand.

“Shi Yi, please help me. Xiao Bao is very ill, and the madam won’t let me go out to find a doctor. Please, you have to help us.”

“We’ll help you. Don’t worry. Let’s get you out of here right now.” Shi Yi hugged him tightly, his eyes welling up with tears, and he silently cursed the lady who had treated his brother so cruelly.

.

They returned to the inn, and Pei Xing quickly sought out a doctor. The doctor was baffled by the scene, “Hey, this child is too young, you should have called me earlier?”

When the child woke up, his heart sank, and he swiftly gave a quick look at the child, prescribed medication, and requested Pei Xing prepared the medicine. The doctor also advised them to use some wine to wipe the child’s body.

“Oh, I don’t know if I could save this child. If only I have a Huiming Pill….”

“Right!!!!”

Before the doctor said his next words, Shi Yi shouted excitedly, which startled the doctor. He took out his pouch and pulled two white pills. As soon as the pills were taken out, the room smelled heavy with blood.

He quickly dissolved the pills in warm water, giving one cup to Shi Mo and the other to the child.

The doctor was in shock, his eyes almost popped out watching Shi Yi dissolve the two pills so rapidly. He looked bewildered and stunned, and couldn’t find his voice. He raised a trembling hand to point at them but remained silent for a while.

The elderly doctor’s eyes were wide open, his hand trembled, and he struggled to find words. Shi Yi quickly went over to help him, fearing he might be in shock. After being pinched by Shi Yi several times, the doctor took a deep breath and finally exclaimed.

“What a waste of resources!!!”
