The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 173 Nothing

They couldn't quite understand what Dou Yang was saying about Yang Yueying, but they vaguely grasped the meaning.

"Is this dregs full of things that help turn Spring Breeze Intoxication into poison?"

Dou Yang nodded.

"The poison that Doctor Li used was the simplest intestinal poison. When it took effect, the pain was unbearable and the appearance was very frightening. Just look at his appearance."

Wei Ming swallowed hard. She had been taking this medicine for a while now, no wonder the symptoms had appeared so suddenly.

"Go and find out where the Spring Breeze Intoxication from the clinic went. If we don't have enough manpower, we'll transfer some from the manor."

Yang Yueying made a quick decision and immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Dou Yang only told what he knew; he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the inner mansion. He was content to simply cure Wei Ming.

Yang Yueying investigated the people in the manor last night, but so far she hasn't found anyone suspicious. Right now, she can only focus on Wei Ming's health.

Dou Yang opened the medicine and carefully examined it before giving it to Yang Yueying.

"My apprentice will come and take charge after she finishes her studies. You can rest assured about what Chunfeng Medical Clinic does."

Yang Yueying thanked him and gave Dou Yang a considerable sum of money, which Dou Yang accepted without hesitation.

"Is Father very busy lately?" Wei Ming asked Yang Yueying after Dou Yang left.

Yang Yueying nodded: "He's busy. He only came back last night after you fell asleep, but he's also concerned about you. Don't be afraid, your parents are here for you. We will protect you."

She hugged Wei Ming, who was already born with a weak constitution. Fortunately, after all the commotion, she didn't suffer any lasting effects, which was already a blessing.

"I heard my cousin was there when Dr. Li died. Is she alright?"

Yang Yueying sighed: "She also fell ill. Her health condition was already more serious than yours, and she can't withstand a shock."

The main reason is that Doctor Li's death was too horrific, and one or two of the maids took sick leave today.

He bled from all seven orifices and suffered greatly before his death.

Both of them fell ill at once. Fortunately, they had already finished the college entrance exam, otherwise Wei Ming would have been anxious again.

"Mother, have we offended anyone?"

Wei Ming still asked, because she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't.

“You know your father’s personality. He’s just like you, he would never argue with anyone. It’s just that I have a bit of a temper, and maybe I’m being held against someone, which is why you’ve been dragged into this.”

Wei Ming lowered her head, realizing it wasn't that simple.

Yang Yueying took her illness very seriously. The doctors in the manor were all carefully selected, and their family backgrounds were thoroughly investigated before they came to the General's Mansion. However, Wei Ming couldn't think of anything more.

As soon as she left the girls' school, Shen Hanyu went straight to the General's Mansion. She sent a message to Li Huaijiang, asking her to help investigate the matter at the General's Mansion.

Yang Yueying suppressed the matter at the General's Mansion and kept it from being leaked, so Li Huaijiang only just learned that Wei Ming had been poisoned.

Shen Hanyu picked up Yuan Qi and went to the General's Mansion. Wei Ming's complexion didn't look so frightening today.

"how do you feel?"

Yuan Qi knew that Dou Yang had come; she was carrying the prescription.

"As expected, experience counts, but I'm not bad either."

Wei Ming had just eaten something; she couldn't endure it without eating.

"I feel much better now, I don't feel that uncomfortable anymore."

Shen Hanyu sat down on the edge of the bed: "Wait a little longer. I've already asked someone to help investigate. Have they found anyone suspicious in the manor?"

Wei Ming shook her head: "Not yet. Most of the people in the General's Mansion are the original residents, and the rest are people who were bought in a year ago."

There were no strangers among them; they were mostly elderly. Yang Yueying knew the details of the General's Mansion, so it was only a matter of time before things got better.

As they were talking, another person came in from outside.

"Siyue, what brings you here?"

Wei Ming looked at Zhou Siyue, whose face was deathly pale and who still looked like she was seriously ill.

“I’m really worried about my cousin, and I’m still scared whenever I think about what happened yesterday. I don’t dare to be alone.”

Wei Ming beckoned Zhou Siyue over, and the maid behind Zhou Siyue pushed the wheelchair forward.

Wei Ming held Zhou Siyue's hand; her hand was so cold it didn't seem like it belonged to a living person.

"Bring me a hot water bottle."

The weather isn't cold anymore, but Zhou Siyue still feels like a block of ice.

"This is my cousin, Zhou Siyue."

Shen Hanyu had never seen Zhou Siyue at the girls' school, nor had she ever heard of anything about Zhou Siyue. She was a very low-key person and also very sickly.

Zhou Siyue looked as if she would fall apart if a gust of wind blew her away.

"I am Shen Hanyu."

Zhou Siyue smiled gently: "I know, my cousin often mentions you to me."

Shen Hanyu looked at Wei Ming and said, "Why didn't you tell me before that you had a cousin?"

Wei Ming waved his hand: "Hey, you didn't ask me, and Siyue doesn't go out much or go to the girls' school, so I didn't think of saying anything."

Zhou Siyue's condition is indeed unsuitable for attending a girls' school. Her health is far worse than Wei Ming's. Just as Yang Yueying said, she is a pitiful person.

“Cousin,” Zhou Siyue said, taking out a sachet. “This contains calming incense. You can put it in the incense burner. You can use this if you have trouble sleeping. I usually use these. If you’re worried, you can have a doctor check you out.”

Wei Ming accepted it; it did indeed smell like calming incense.

"You took the trouble."

"Should we ask Yuan Qi to take a look at you too?" Shen Hanyu asked Zhou Siyue.

She didn't mean anything by it; Yuan Qi happened to be there, so she decided to take a look together.

Zhou Siyue did not refuse.

Yuan Qi looked at Zhou Siyue and thought the girl was too thin.

How is your appetite on a normal day?

"It gets better and worse, it's an old problem, that's what the doctors say. I don't care about anything else, doctor, is there any cure for my leg?"

Zhou Siyue looked at Yuan Qi with bright eyes. Yuan Qi lifted a corner of Zhou Siyue's skirt. Her leg had been injured for a long time, and the muscles had atrophied. There was also a terrible wound on her ankle.

"How did it hurt?"

Yuan Qi reached out and pinched it twice.

"Frostbite," Zhou Siyue answered truthfully.

Having been buried in the snow for so long, the person was barely alive when they were dug out. It was then that Zhou Siyue stopped feeling her legs and could no longer feel the pain from the wound on her legs.

Frostbite.

Yuan Qi's eyelids twitched.

Zhou Siyue smiled and said, "Just say what you want to say. It's okay even if there's no hope. I'm used to it."

Neither Wei Ming nor Shen Hanyu spoke.

Yuan Qi stroked his chin: "I need to take a look at the medicine we used before, but I feel I can't be too certain. Perhaps there is a cure."

Upon hearing Yuan Qi's words, Zhou Siyue's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again.

"Let her see, just in case there's a chance."

After Yuan Qi said that, Shen Hanyu chimed in with a comment.

Zhou Siyue nodded, looking obedient.

After giving Wei Ming a thorough check and confirming that everything was correct, Yuan Qi left.

The maidservant beside Wei Ming was chosen by Yang Yueying again last night to ensure that no mistakes were made.

Seeing that things had temporarily settled down at the General's Mansion, Shen Hanyu returned home.
