"This... this..."
Seeing that Old Lady Su was truly harboring killing intent, Su Tianhao and Su Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the thick disbelief in each other's eyes.
Staring at the hesitant siblings, Old Lady Su said sternly, "Tianhao, don't you want to beco the head of the Su Family?"
"Grandma, I do, but I don't want to use these ans!" Su Tianhao felt a deep pain in his heart.
Old Lady Su snorted coldly, "If you want to, then listen to ! Think about it, in ancient tis, Li Shimin, the King of Tang, in order to seize the throne, did not hesitate to launch the Xuanwu Gate coup, personally killing his own brothers. Your grandfather is already a dying man, his end is near!"
"What I'm doing is simply letting him find release sooner. Even if sothing happens, I will take responsibility! Don't worry, I have arranged everything!"
"Grandma, even if Grandpa dies, it won't be easy for big brother to get the position of family head!" Su Yue frowned and said.
Old Lady Su smiled sinisterly, "Yue'er, don't you know the saying 'diverting the misfortune elsewhere'?"
"Grandma, do you an..." Su Yue seed to have thought of sothing.
Old Lady Su nodded gravely, "That's right! We just need to pour all the bla on Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue. When they face the threat of prison, the position of the future head of the Su Family will naturally belong to your big brother Tianhao. Do you understand?"
"So that's it!" Su Yue finally understood.
Old Lady Su urged, "Yue'er, do as I told you, quickly. Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue will be here soon!"
"Well... okay then!" Su Yue clenched her teeth and nodded.
At his place, Su Tianhao stood in shock. He truly hadn't expected that to support him, Old Lady Su would actually resort to poisoning the dicine.
Su Yue went over to where the dicinal herbs were being simred. Her face pale, she thought that all of this was to make her older brother the head of the Su Family. Stiffening her resolve, she poured all of the purchased highly toxic chemical, N-Nitrosodithylamine, into the dicine.
Having completed the deed, Su Yue approached Old Lady Su and reported, "Grandma, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged!"
"Hmm! Leave the rest to ," Old Lady Su responded, her face dark.
After speaking, without any hesitation, Old Lady Su carried the thoroughly stewed dicinal soup into the master bedroom.
"Dongguo, the dicinal soup is ready, co have so!"
Once she entered the master bedroom, Old Lady Su's aged face was filled with smiles.
Seeing Old Lady Su smiling, Su Dongguo exclaid in surprise, "Wenfeng, you're not angry anymore?"
"Not angry anymore. I've thought it over, and I was too stubborn. Dongguo, you were right; the Su Family should promote the capable and let the young handle their own affairs. We are old now and don't have many days left. We should focus on taking care of ourselves and live a little longer," Old Lady Su said with heartfelt emotion.
Upon hearing this, Su Dongguo felt relieved and replied, "Wenfeng, I am at ease if you can think like this!"
"Enough of that. We have bickered for a lifeti, and now we're old. I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. Co on, drink your dicine first!" Old Lady Su personally scooped a spoonful of the poison-laced dicinal soup.
Unaware of any unusual behavior from Old Lady Su, Su Dongguo slowly sat up and drank the entire bowl of dicine.
"Dongguo, one spoonful is not enough, drink so more!" Old Lady Su encouraged.
Su Dongguo savored it and felt that today's dicine tasted a bit off, but seeing Old Lady Su's kindly appearance, he didn't think too much and continued to drink.
Seeing Su Dongguo drink down the dicine, Old Lady Su smiled and said, "Dongguo, co on, drink all of the dicine! You want to support Ruoxue as the head of the Su Family, then support her. I won't argue with you anymore!"
"Hmm!"
Relieved by her words, Su Dongguo let down his guard and drained the soup.
"Dongguo, rest a bit after drinking your soup!" Old Lady Su said caringly.
Su Dongguo nodded, "Wenfeng, you have worked hard!"
"It's not hard. As long as you're well, Dongguo, everything I do is worth it!" Old Lady Su smiled.
Watching Old Lady Su, Su Dongguo felt sothing was amiss. However, after drinking the soup, he felt tightness in his chest and didn't think much of it.
Watching Su Dongguo's originally rosy complexion turn pale, Old Lady Su smiled sinisterly and left the master bedroom.
"Grandma, how did it go? Did Grandpa drink it?"
When Old Lady Su walked out of the master bedroom, Su Tianhao imdiately approached.
Old Lady Su said mockingly, "That old fool really believed it and drank all the soup. It won't be long before he breathes his last. To clear any suspicions, we need to leave now!"
"Yes, leave, we must leave now!" Su Tianhao quickly nodded in agreent.
```
He knew the situation had occurred, and it was now difficult for them to turn back.
To protect themselves, they had no choice but to avoid all suspicion.
Old Madam Su whispered, "Tianhao, Yue'er, let's go!"
"Yes, Grandma!"
Su Tianhao and Su Yue knew the severity of the situation, and they decisively followed Old Madam Su to leave the scene.
Whoosh—
Less than twenty minutes after Old Madam Su and the others had left, Ye Fan drove there with Su Ruoxue, arriving at the Su Family Ancestral Ho.
"Grandpa, I brought Ye Fan to see you!" Su Ruoxue said with delight, oblivious as she got out of the car.
"Ruoxue, you've co!"
Lying in bed, Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, said weakly.
Upon entering the master bedroom, Su Ruoxue saw Elder Master Su's pale complexion and exclaid in surprise, "Grandpa, why do you look so unwell? Did you catch a cold last night because the blanket wasn't covered properly?"
"I'm fine! Sit, you and Ye Fan sit down quickly!" Su Dongguo sat up and greeted them.
Ye Fan said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's no trouble! Ruoxue, where's the chicken soup you made for Grandpa? Hurry and let Grandpa have so!"
"Mm-hmm!" Su Ruoxue nodded eagerly.
After speaking, Su Ruoxue imdiately got out the dinnerware and personally fed the chicken soup to Elder Master Su.
"Grandpa, this is an old hen I specifically bought from the market. How does it taste?" Su Ruoxue asked with a smile.
"You're thoughtful, Ruoxue, you really are!"
Asked by Su Ruoxue, Elder Master Su's pale face lifted with a smile.
Ye Fan did not pay much attention, simply believing that Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, had a pale face because of prolonged bed paralysis and poor nutrition.
Su Ruoxue said joyfully, "Grandpa took such good care of in the past, now it's my turn to honor you!"
"Good, very good!" Su Dongguo smiled, his mouth hardly closing.
Su Ruoxue picked up the spoon again and filled it with chicken soup, saying, "Grandpa, you're too weak now, co on, have so more chicken soup!"
"Mm!" Elder Master Su smiled kindly.
Just as the chicken soup was about to reach his mouth, Elder Master Su groaned abruptly, clutching his chest with a pained expression on his face.
Seeing this, Su Ruoxue exclaid in shock, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Ye Fan, co take a look quickly!"
Clang!
As Su Ruoxue's words fell, Elder Master Su's body tilted, and he collapsed onto the ground from the bed.
"Grandpa!" Su Ruoxue's face turned pale with fright.
"Go, Ruoxue... don't worry about , you... you and Ye Fan get away!"
Collapsing on the ground, Elder Master Su seed to understand sothing and urgently urged them.
Su Ruoxue was unwilling to leave; she looked to Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, quickly check what's wrong with Grandpa!"
"Ruoxue, don't panic, I'll have a look!" Ye Fan swiftly helped Elder Master Su up.
"Go! Go!"
Elder Master Su's face turned paper-white instantly; his voice was incredibly weak.
"Uh!"
The next second, Elder Master Su let out another groan, a trickle of fresh blood ran down from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bulged, and he lost his breath instantly.
"Dongguo, we've co to see you!"
Just at that mont, Old Lady Su's calling voice ca from outside the door.
In an instant, a crisis engulfed them completely!
