In her past life, Song Xizhi married her timid, spineless brother-in-law, while her stepsister Song Ruohan married the General, her brother.
General He Jingyan was gravely injured on the batt...
Upon hearing this, Madam Lü nodded with a look of resentment:
“Song Ruoan is fooling everyone, he really thinks we're all idiots! If it weren't for Physician Li confirming Song Xizhi's medical skills, I would have fought Song Ruoan to the death.”
Prime Minister Lin had regained his composure. His arm, which had been holding Lin Miaoxin, was aching, so he calmly addressed Marquis Anding:
"Lord Anding, although I am unwilling to blame you for this matter, you really should give an explanation, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the hatred in people's hearts."
He thought he had met a miracle doctor, but little did he know he almost lost his life.
No one would let this go easily, especially since everyone in front of them was a powerful and influential figure, and even He Yunce's superiors.
I'm afraid He Yunce has just been promoted today, and his future days won't be easy.
Thinking of this, Old Madam He shook her head helplessly, her face full of sorrow: "What a misfortune for our family! It truly is a misfortune for our family!"
"The Marquis's family has committed a terrible sin! It has implicated everyone. I apologize to everyone here. This matter will definitely be dealt with severely."
As she spoke, she turned to her personal maid and instructed, "Where are the Song family members? Go and invite our in-laws here; I have something to say."
Hearing Madam He's words, Song Ruoan had no idea how she planned to deal with her.
The thought of this made her face, which had finally regained its color, turn deathly pale again in an instant.
Song Ruoan gritted her teeth, knelt on the ground, and cried pitifully with tears streaming down her face: "I beg Grandmother to see the truth. Although I lied and claimed that I knew medicine, I never thought of harming anyone's life."
"After all, there's plenty of time ahead, and doing this won't do me any good. So the only way is to thoroughly investigate this 'miracle doctor'! He must be lying!"
Upon hearing this, Madam He coldly snorted: "As for the matter of the divine physician Qihuang, I will naturally report it to the authorities and investigate it thoroughly, so as to restore justice to the Marquis's mansion."
"He Yunze was deceived and knew nothing about this matter. He even drank so much poison, and his current condition is still unknown! You deceived your superiors and subordinates, plotted to harm your own husband and mother-in-law, and even caused the ladies of the capital to suffer undeserved calamities!"
As Madam He spoke, her voice boomed like a bell, deep and resonant, carrying with it a powerful, long-established authority and a thunderous rage:
"Since everything started because of you, causing unrest in the home and violating the seven grounds for divorce, then I will simply divorce you!"
"The Marquis's mansion is too small to accommodate such a great figure as yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan's body stiffened instantly.
He Yunze stared wide-eyed in disbelief, gasped, and knelt down without a second thought:
"Grandmother, no! She did something wrong, but she was framed. There must be some misunderstanding!"
Even Song Xizhi, who was sitting to the side treating patients, slowly raised his head upon hearing this, staring at the two pale-faced people, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Whether in his past life or this one, He Yunze only had one thing on his mind: to divorce her on behalf of He Jingyan.
But now, the one who abandoned him has become his most beloved wife...
How will He Yunze feel knowing that Song Ruoan is not as innocent as she appears?
Song Ruoan was shocked and trembled all over. Cold sweat broke out on her back. She was utterly ashamed and indignant.
She knew that Old Madam He wanted to distance herself from the Marquis's family, but if she were to be divorced in front of everyone, she would be finished!
Song Ruoan almost bit her lips until they bled, and her tone became extremely humble: "Grandmother! Grandmother!"
"I admit that I was too hasty this time and trusted a villain. You may punish me as you wish, I will accept it. But I am truly devoted to the Marquis's mansion! And I am truly devoted to my husband!"
"For the sake of the household manager and my husband's health, I have spent all my dowry on the Marquis's mansion without any regrets! But if you want to send me away, I would rather die!"
Old Madam He wasn't having any of it; she was practically determined: "If you want to die, go die outside the Marquis's mansion!"
Hearing this, He Yunze was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. Even though he had just felt a lot of dissatisfaction with Song Ruoan and even felt a little unfamiliar with her.
But it shouldn't come to the point of divorcing his wife!
His life in his previous life was so wonderful that he couldn't imagine how he would live without Ruo'an's advice and strategies.
He Yunze also knelt down directly before Old Madam He:
"Grandmother! Grandmother! Ruo'an was just confused for a moment. Although she doesn't know medicine, she has many other strengths. She's proficient in everything. She's my lifeline!"
When Song Juncai and Zhao Qianlan rushed over, this was what they heard.
"My dear in-laws! What misunderstanding is this? We've been betrothed since childhood!"
Before Old Madam He could speak after hearing Song Juncai's words, Lord Sun, standing to the side, immediately launched into a tirade:
"Lord Song, I also want to know, how exactly did you raise your daughter to try and kill my wife?"
Hearing his boss's words made Song Juncai shudder. He gritted his teeth but dared not utter another word.
Seeing Song Juncai's attitude, Madam He slowly spoke again: "So, Lord Song, you don't object to my suggestion?"
Song Juncai remained silent, so Zhao Qianlan hurriedly spoke up: "It is true that the Song family failed in their discipline, but Song Xizhi rescued all the ladies, so his merits and demerits can be considered to offset each other!"
Su Shaoyuan was originally standing next to Song Xizhi, but after sensing Song Xizhi's suggestive gaze, he immediately understood her meaning.
His brows furrowed deeply, and he strode over to the Marquis of Anding's side: "Whose merits can offset whose faults?"
“Since the Marquis’s mansion is now purging its family traditions, then I will also demand justice from everyone. Since Xizhi married into the Marquis’s mansion, she has taken care of her husband, served her parents-in-law, and is even treating the ladies now.”
"Then, can the Marquis of Anding or Lord Song provide an explanation for the croton seeds that Song Ruo'an put in her bowl?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis An Ding looked in Song Ruo'an's direction, took another heavy breath, and his attitude was no longer as hesitant as before.
He frowned, his face filled with disgust, and said directly, "Divorce her. I agree."
