After being punished, Yan Jingzhi obediently recuperated in the courtyard, while Su Xiaoman, as her mother, naturally stayed by her side, distrusting no one.

It wasn't until late at night three days later.

Xinyue Pavilion was thrown into chaos once again, and Yan Jingzhi, who had only been slightly weak before, fell into a coma again.

In the main courtyard, Yan Baihui, who was lying next to his wife, was so angry that he laughed when he heard the servant's report.

"Look at her, with that brain of hers, I actually let her fool me for so many years, and I actually believed that I did something to wrong you back then."

That day, after being kicked out of Xinyue Pavilion, the two maids did not go far, but stood guard at the door, never expecting to overhear that explosive conversation.

Although the two women were already Yan Jingzhi's maids, they understood who their true masters were. Considering the attitudes these two masters had towards them, the two women naturally decided to report what they had said.

Not to mention, they had also heard of the Crown Prince's reputation, and they didn't want to gamble on someone who had failed even in trying to get into bed.

The door was closed again.

"Heh, if my husband really didn't do it, why did he admit to it in the first place?" Lin Ruoshu wasn't so easily fooled. Looking at Yan Baihui's exasperated appearance, she spoke calmly.

Yan Baihui was naturally extremely embarrassed. He really didn't remember what had happened. He only knew that when he woke up, there were clothes scattered on the ground, and she was completely naked.

He thought she had obediently taken the contraceptive pill and let her go, but who knew that she would later come to his door with her daughter.

It was during this incident that the steward learned about the matter from the two maids and then investigated it thoroughly; otherwise, he would not have known that the child was not his at all.

"Don't blame others for taking advantage of you if you don't even remember things yourself."

Lin Ruoshu had shared a bed with Yan Baihui for many years, so she knew exactly what he was going to say the moment he turned his back. She was well aware of his thoughts at that moment.

Yan Baihui nodded upon hearing this.

Yes, he didn't do it, so why should he agree?

Since he agreed, he must have believed it himself.

Yan Bai suddenly realized something, and hugged Lin Ruoshu tightly, rubbing against her like a soft-haired dog:

"Madam, hahaha, Madam, I've realized something's wrong. You're simply my lucky star!"

Lin Ruoshu was completely bewildered by Yan Baihui's rubbing against her. She reached out and pushed his head away without any politeness. Seeing him smiling happily, she smiled helplessly and asked, "Are you going to sleep or not?"

He's figured it out, and he's so happy he's lost his composure.

If outsiders saw him like this, they'd laugh their heads off.

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside Xinyue Pavilion, Su Xiaoman finally received the doctor she had been waiting for.

She hurriedly stepped forward to greet the man, but before she could even complain or explain the situation, the doctor immediately saw the problem.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Su Xiaoman had no choice but to tell everyone that she had changed her medicine.

"Are you a doctor and that's why you're treating him?"

Zhang Langzhong, who often treated patients at the Prime Minister's residence, was already in his sixties, but he never expected that one day an ignorant woman would question his medical skills.

He has probably seen more patients in his life than she has eaten salt, but he has rarely encountered a family like this.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Doctor Zhang first explained why Su Xiaoman's medicine was ineffective and even worsened her condition:

"The ingredients in your wound medicine promote blood circulation, and its effect of reducing swelling and stopping bleeding is not as good as the medicine I left behind."

“Your daughter’s injury was originally just a flesh wound. With patient application of medicine, it would have healed in seven or eight days. But you, as her mother, took it upon yourself to cover up the wound.”

"In this heat, aren't you afraid your daughter will get maggots?"

It wasn't that Dr. Zhang hadn't made house calls in the middle of the night before, but the more he looked at the half-dead people on the bed, the angrier he became.

Three whole days.

I didn't notice anything wrong for three days, but today I have a high fever and my body is starting to tremble. If I hadn't started trembling, I probably would have been waiting until I died to find out.

Unfortunately, this Aunt Su secretly changed the medicine. If the second daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion were to die from her treatment, his reputation would be completely ruined.

They might even face a murder charge.

"Dr. Zhang, please stop talking about these things and take a look at my Zhi'er instead."

Su Xiaoman had long regretted it. She only thought that she had spent a lot of money to buy the medicine, and that it should be the best for treating external injuries. She never thought that it would harm her Zhi'er.

"Heh, now you're in a hurry. Didn't you think about this day when you were changing the dressing?" Doctor Zhang said, but his hands honestly pulled out his bag of silver needles.

Seeing that Doctor Zhang had begun to treat her, Su Xiaoman felt less nervous.

"Knock knock—"

The moment the knock sounded, Su Xiaoman stood up instantly and looked towards the door.

I thought it would be Yan Baihui who rushed over, but it turned out to be just Steward Li from the manor.

In the dim candlelight, Steward Li paid no attention to Su Xiaoman's dejection. He simply bowed to Physician Zhang inside the room.

"Dr. Zhang, the master said that the fault is not yours. You just need to do your best."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoman's face turned pale. "Steward Li, what do you mean by that? Our Zhi'er is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion!"

"Aunt Su, this is the master's wish."

Su Xiaoman wanted to say something more, but Zhang Langzhong, who was administering acupuncture, couldn't help but interrupt, "What's all the noise about? Did I say I couldn't save your daughter?"

Why do so many people not believe in his medical skills?

Su Xiaoman's previously frozen face instantly lit up with joy, but before she could completely breathe a sigh of relief, Butler Li spoke again.

"Also, Aunt Su, the master has other instructions."

"Master tells Concubine Su to return to her own courtyard from now on, and she doesn't need to come out unless someone invites her."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Su felt a wave of dizziness. "No, I have to stay. Zhi'er hasn't woken up yet. I have to stay and take care of her."

"Don't worry, Aunt Su, the Second Miss's residence will have someone to take care of her."

As soon as Butler Li finished speaking, several more people rushed in from outside, stuffed a piece of cloth into Su Xiaoman's mouth, and dragged her out.

Doctor Zhang was also dumbfounded, but looking at Steward Li, who was still standing at the door, he chuckled twice and then said:

"Don't worry, Steward Li. I only examined the Second Miss of the manor today. I didn't see or hear anything else."

I've really lived a long time; I've seen all sorts of things.

Butler Li didn't say anything more after hearing this, but simply bowed again.
