Chapter 700: Chapter 700 Framing Disaster
“Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you?” The sudden turn of events terrified Situ Qinger, who witnessed Lady Tang frothing at the mouth and frantically scread toward the door: “Soone co! Soone co! Hurry and get the doctor over here.”
The maids stationed at the door heard the commotion and hurried in, only to beco shocked at Lady Tang’s dreadful state: “What happened to madam?”
“You worthless dogs, are you blind? Go get the doctor now, quickly!” After a few maids ca in and just stood around like spectators, Situ Qinger beca furious and scolded them.
“This maid will imdiately go fetch the doctor.” One bright maid snapped to her senses and dashed out like a streak of smoke.
The remaining maids clumsily lifted Lady Tang back onto the bed.
The Couple’s Courtyard beca a scene of utter chaos due to Lady Tang’s sudden incident.
In less than a mont, the news had spread throughout the General’s Mansion.
Everyone was rushing to the Couple’s Courtyard to see what had happened. Lady Tang’s courtyard was soon packed tight with onlookers.
Situ Yongjie also arrived with his subordinates in tow.
Doctor Wang sat by the bedside taking Lady Tang’s pulse, his expression grave.
“Doctor Wang, what illness exactly does she have?” As soon as Situ Yongjie entered, he asked Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang frowned deeply, inwardly cursing Lady Tang for her stupidity. The poison she had ingested was ant for Madam Xie; how was it that Madam Xie was not poisoned, and yet she had been?
“General, Auntie Tang is not ill but poisoned,” Doctor Wang said, although he had intended to hide the fact of Lady Tang’s poisoning. However, with her constant foaming at the mouth and blackening complexion, any observant person could tell these were symptoms of poisoning. There was no use hiding it, so he bluntly revealed the truth.
At the ti of the poisoning, he hadn’t anticipated that Lady Tang would accidentally drink it. Moreover, the poison was acquired from an Itinerant Doctor of the Itinerant World; there was simply no antidote. When it ca to curing the poison, he felt utterly powerless.
“Poisoned? She was fine inside the mansion, how could she be poisoned?” Situ Yongjie was incredulous. Within the General’s Mansion, Lady Tang held great power. It was she who harm others, who would dare to harm her?
“General, this servant speaks nothing but the truth. If you do not trust my dical skill, you may call for another doctor to examine her.” Given the seriousness of the matter, and with Prince Pu’s Mansion behind Lady Tang, and Prince Pu’s fondness for his only daughter, if anything happened to Lady Tang, Prince Pu would surely not spare him. Concerned for his own safety, Doctor Wang dared not conceal the truth.
Suddenly, Situ Qinger shrilly scread, “It was her, it must have been her.”
All eyes in the room imdiately turned toward her.
Situ Yongjie: “Qinger, do you know who poisoned Auntie Tang?”
Lady Tang had suddenly beco like this, and although Situ Qinger was terrified to the core, Situ Yongjie’s use of the term “Auntie Tang” was particularly grating to her: “Father, what ti do you think it is! How can you still call mother ‘Auntie Tang’?”
“Until the family registry is changed, that remains her status, even if she were to die.”
“Father, you are too heartless. For the sake of that little bastard, you’ve let mother co to this.” Without her usual calm, Situ Qinger’s words were sharp and bitter.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Auntie Tang’s poisoning has nothing to do with Xuexue,” Situ Yongjie’s face darkened.
“It’s exactly like that. Everything was fine before they ca. She’s only been here for a few days, and mother gets poisoned. It’s clear that she is behind this.” Angered by Lady Tang’s sudden poisoning and worried about her own future prospects, Situ Qinger harbored resentnt and decided to implicate Situtu Xueer in the poisoning of her mother.
