Chapter 219 – Doctor Ming, Our Miss Wants To See You
Since Lord Marquis was paying so much attention to the Sixth Young Lady, this matter would eventually be known by him. Doctor Ming felt that it was better to tell him now!
Wei Luowen didn’t say anything this ti. He waved his hand and signaled for Doctor Ming to leave. Doctor Ming didn’t dare to say anything else and carefully retreated.
“Go, invite Marquis Jing Yuan over!” In the study, Wei Luowen instructed with a gloomy expression as he watched Doctor Ming leaving.
“Yes!” A lad servant hurriedly answered and then retreated!
Doctor Ming could not help but laugh bitterly when he found that his back was already wet with sweat.
The situation of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was getting more and more complicated. After the trouble of his son was settled, he had better go back to his hotown. By then, he would never get involved in the affairs of the Second Lady, Concubine Dong, or Marquis Hua Yang.
Otherwise, he was highly likely to die a miserable death!
“Doctor Ming, co here and write the prescription!” A lad servant greeted him at the door of a wing room.
Doctor Ming quickly restored his normal state of mind and put on a smiling face. He walked into the room and wrote the prescription. He also left the pills behind. Wei Luowen not only paid the usual fee but also gave him a generous reward.
Doctor Ming left Wei Luowen’s study with a silver ticket.
When he reached the intersection, Doctor Ming couldn’t help but take out the silver ticket to take a look. Seeing the denomination of the silver ticket, Doctor Ming heaved a sigh of relief. With such a silver ticket, he could at least deal with his son’s affairs first.
“Doctor Ming, our Miss wants to see you!” Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. Doctor Ming was so scared that he almost tore the silver ticket apart. He looked up quickly and saw the maid’s face. His heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically!
“I… I still have matters to attend to. There are still patients waiting for at ho.” Seeing Jin Ling, Doctor Ming’s expression changed drastically, and he even stuttered. The last person he wanted to see was this Sixth Young Lady.
Others only knew that the Sixth Young Lady was alone and helpless, that her birth mother died when she was a little kid and that her birth father had abandoned her. However, he knew that this was not the case. In fact, the Sixth Young Lady was taken good care of.
Moreover, there were so unknown past events that made him feel fear of that Sixth Young Lady!
“Patients at ho? Doctor Ming, were you talking about your son? Don’t worry about your son. Anyway, it has been so long. Our Miss said that if you need help, she can help you resolve the problem. That young master is a family friend of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.”
Jin Ling smiled and reached out to block Doctor Ming’s path.
These words caused Doctor Ming’s heart to tremble. Even Marquis Hua Yang didn’t know about his son’s affair. How could Sixth Miss Wei, who lived in the seclusion of the mansion, know about it so clearly?
As he thought, he beca even more guilty. However, Jin Ling was blocking the way like that, so he could not leave. He could only talk to Jin Ling with a smile, “Thanks for the kindness of the Sixth Young Lady. However, I am really busy now. When I visit the mansion next ti, I will definitely pay my respects to her.”
“Doctor Ming, what do you an? Our Miss is not feeling well right now. Are you saying that you don’t have ti to give her treatnt? Alright, the Lord Marquis’ study is just ahead. Doctor Ming, co with to see Lord Marquis. I am going to ask if our Miss doesn’t deserve to be treated by you even if she is ill!”
Hearing Doctor Ming’s words, the smile on Jin Ling’s face imdiately dissipated. She placed her hands on her waist, raised her eyebrows and scolded.
Going to Marquis Hua Yang’s study and asking for an explanation? Needless to say, he would co to no good end. Doctor Ming regretted it. If he had left earlier, he wouldn’t run into this maid of the Sixth Young Lady. Now, he had no choice but to go with her to see the Sixth Young Lady.
“Alright, alright, alright, I will go and see the Sixth Young Lady first!” Doctor Ming replied reluctantly.
Inexplicably, he was afraid of Sixth Young Miss’ pair of eyes that seed to pierce through people’s hearts. From whichever perspective, this Sixth Young Lady was extrely intelligent.
“Miss, Doctor Ming is here!” Jin Ling brought Doctor Ming to Lotus Courtyard and reported in the corridor.
“Miss asked Doctor Ming to co in!” Huamo received Wei Yuewu’s signal. She walked to the door, lifted the curtain, and looked at Doctor Ming outside with a smile.
However, this smile made Doctor Ming even more nervous. The maid looked so relaxed that this Sixth Young Lady did not seem to be sick.
But now that he was here, he had no choice but to follow Jin Ling in.
Wei Yuewu was seated in front of the writing desk and she raised her head when she heard the voice. Her gaze landed on Doctor Ming. She scrutinized Doctor Ming with a deep and icy look that made Doctor Ming almost unable to lift his eyes.
This kind of gaze was similar to that of Marquis Hua Yang to whom slaughter was just a part of his life. She was clearly just an unmarried girl, yet she actually had such a bloodthirsty gaze. How could Doctor Ming not be panicked?
However, in the next mont, panic turned into madness. He looked at this extrely beautiful but fragile girl almost in astonishnt. He opened his mouth and found that he was unable to speak.
“Doctor Ming, did you leave behind a bottle of ‘self-made’ pills for my father, which are very beneficial to his injuries?” Wei Yuewu said indifferently.
“I…” Doctor Ming opened his mouth, but he only spat out this one word.
“Doctor Ming, are you wondering how I found out your secret?” Wei Yuewu glanced at him indifferently. The coldness in her eyes almost caused Doctor Ming’s blood to freeze. “Have you used up all of the generous rewards from Concubine Dong and the Second Lady?”
“I… I don’t know what you an.” After a while, Doctor Ming was finally able to speak and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Wei Yuewu’s ice-cold eyes.
“Don’t you know? Do you want to go and ask my father if you have dutifully left the pills to him?” Wei Yuewu sneered. The ice-cold dicine bottle in her hand had ward up, but it could not warm her heart. She could sense that her blood was also ice-cold.
“Sixth Young Lady, those pills are beneficial to Lord Marquis’ injuries!” Doctor Ming didn’t know what Wei Yuewu ant, so he could only try to defend himself.
Wei Yuewu knew that he didn’t dare to testify before Wei Luowen. She didn’t want to waste ti arguing with him. She put the bottle on the table and said sternly, “Doctor Ming, do you know this dicine bottle?”
dicine bottle? Doctor Ming was stunned for a mont. Then, he involuntarily looked at the small bottle on the table. When he saw the small bottle clearly, his face imdiately turned pale and his body trembled. He almost fell down.
“Doctor Ming, you won’t say that you don’t know the bottle, will you? People say that you are using different bottles, which don’t have your personal marks. When did that happen? Oh, it seed that you started using new bottles after my mother passed away. What a coincidence! Once my mother died, Doctor Ming even changed the dicine bottles he used. Why don’t you keep using exclusive dicine bottles to store dicine made according to your exclusive recipes?”
Wei Yuewu’s words were so aggressive that she didn’t give Doctor Ming the slightest chance to defend himself.
“I… didn’t, this…” Doctor Ming stamred as he tried to explain, only to find that there was nothing he could say.
“Doctor Ming, are you saying that this bottle is not yours? I believe my father has seen it before. It is said that it was filled with so dicine that was beneficial to people’s health.” Wei Yuewu sneered.
“Yes… yes, it was indeed beneficial to people’s health.” Doctor Ming seed to be grabbing onto a life-saving straw as he nodded repeatedly, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
“Doctor Ming, you definitely didn’t tell my father and my mother that this kind of dicine was poisonous to people like my mother who was in poor health conditions. Besides, my mother was pregnant at that ti! Doctor Ming, you wanted my mother to give birth to an abnormal child. You wanted to harm both my mother and !”
Wei Yuewu slapped her hand heavily on the table and scolded sternly.
“I…” Doctor Ming really couldn’t hold on anymore. He reached out and supported himself with the table beside him. It took a long while for him to regain his voice. He clenched his teeth and said, “Sixth Young Lady, I… I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
Those things were also secrets that he could not tell anyone. How could he casually admit being involved in them? He did not believe that this Sixth Young Lady could do anything to him if he denied everything.
No matter how formidable the Sixth Young Lady was, she was only a 13-year-old girl!
“Jin Ling, take Doctor Ming and this dicine bottle with you to see my father. Pass on my words to my father, and let him investigate this matter!” Wei Yuewu leaned back and suddenly stopped being furious. Even her expression cald down.
However, this kind of calmness caused Doctor Ming’s hair to stand on end. He knelt down with a plop and said, “Sixth Young Lady, it really has nothing to do with . The dicine bottle was mine, but I didn’t give the dicine to Marquise Hua Yang. It has nothing to do with !”
How did he dare to see Marquis Hua Yang now? Others might not know, but he clearly knew how much Marquis Hua Yang cherished Marquise Hua Yang. He even went against the Madam Dowager for her!
If Marquis Hua Yang knew that he was involved in the death of Marquise Hua Yang, not to ntion himself, even his entire family would suffer!
Seeing Doctor Ming was on his knees, Wei Yuewu knew that the situation was basically under her control. Her aim today was to make Doctor Ming confess. It was OK if her father didn’t investigate the issue. But she must do justice to her mother.
“Who gave the dicine to my mother?” Wei Yuewu picked up the dicine bottle and asked coldly. Of course, she knew that a single dicine bottle couldn’t explain anything. It was just a dicine bottle. There must be quite a few dicine bottles left in the mansion by Doctor Ming back then!
As for when Doctor Ming changed his dicine bottle, Wei Yuewu didn’t know for sure. However, judging by Doctor Ming’s guilty expression, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
“I… I don’t know who gave this dicine to Marquise, but it was definitely not . Over the years, I attended the masters and ladies in the mansion, and I left behind quite so dicine bottles.” Doctor Ming wiped away his sweat and smiled bitterly. “Sixth Young Lady, you must have discovered that the dicine inside the bottle isn’t difficult to make, right? As long as people can afford it, they can get it in many pharmacies.”
“Isn’t this the way you make extra money?” Wei Yuewu mocked.
“Yes… it is, but the dicine was definitely not from . Lord Marquis loved Marquise as much as his own life. Even if I didn’t care about my life, I didn’t dare to murder Marquise. However, I don’t know who used my dicine bottles to deliver the dicine to Marquise. Sixth Young Lady, I’m also a victim.”
Doctor Ming wiped the cold sweat off his head and smiled bitterly.
“You’re a doctor, and you were responsible for improving my mother’s health conditions. Don’t tell that you didn’t notice the dicine at all.” Wei Yuewu sneered. Perhaps Doctor Ming only knew the existence of the dicine back then. But since he knew about it and chose to be silent, he was no longer innocent. He wasn’t pitiful at all. The truly pitiful ones were her mother and her! If she also died, who would seek justice for her mother?
Ever since she survived that assassination on her trip to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, she knew this clearly. No one would pity her, so she had to beco stronger!
“I… I did know sothing, and I also… asked Marquise… When she took out the bottle and showed it to , I was so scared that I was almost speechless. But at that ti, Marquise had been taking the dicine for so ti, and the maid beside her said that the dicine was prescribed by !”
