Chapter 30: Those who do evil will eventually perish

Kong Ru saw Ye Chutang taking the patient's pulse and wanted to stop him.

After Ye Chutang noticed it, he moved his body and blocked her with his back.

Kong Ru was so anxious that she winked at the court doctor.

Just as the court doctor was about to take action, Ye Chutang let go of Ye Anjun's wrist.

She stood up and looked at Kong Ru, her eyes as cold as frost and snow in winter.

"You are the one who poisoned Jun'er and made him sickly since childhood, right?"

I didn’t expect that the means of competing for favor in TV dramas are actually real!

As soon as these words were spoken, the kitchen fell into complete silence.

Kong Ru's eyes were wide open, and she looked at Ye Chutang as if she was looking at a devil.

The first one to react was Ye Anling.

She had always known that her younger brother was a tool for her mother to win favor.

Because my father doted on my younger brother, my mother often made him sick and took my father to Liuliyuan.

She is a vested interest and also an accomplice.

At this moment, the truth was revealed and she quickly denied it.

"Eldest sister, don't talk nonsense. When Jun'er was born, my mother lost half her life. How could she have poisoned him?"

These words brought Kong Ru back to her senses, and she immediately burst into tears out of grievance.

"Master, I am innocent. Jun'er is my precious child. How could I possibly harm him?"

Ye Jingchuan also didn't believe what Ye Chutang said.

When Jun'er was sick, Kong Ru often stayed up all night to take care of him.

Even though he loved Jun'er very much, he couldn't do this.

"Chu'er, what do you mean when you said Jun'er was poisoned?"

Ye Chutang looked at the court doctor who was trying to reduce his presence, "It would be more appropriate to ask Doctor Gao about this question."

Ye Jingchuan thought it made sense, "Doctor Gao, what happened to Jun'er being poisoned?"

The court doctor would naturally not admit that Ye Anjun had been poisoned after the accident.

"Master, the young master is just weak, not poisoned."

Ye Chutang picked up the jade bottle from the medicine box.

"Whether it is true or not, we can find out by checking with a doctor outside."

Since it concerns Ye Anjun's safety, Ye Jingchuan dare not be careless and calls for Butler Chen.

"Hurry up and go to Huichun Hall to ask for a doctor to come back."

"Yes, sir!"

Kong Ru knew very well that as soon as the doctor came, her poisoning of Jun'er would be exposed.

She glanced secretly at the court doctor and asked him to take responsibility for everything.

The court doctor knew that he was finished, and only by saving Kong Ru would he have a chance of survival.

He knelt down in front of Ye Jingchuan.

"Master, there's no need to go find a doctor. I plead guilty!"

Ye Jingchuan kicked the court doctor to the ground and shouted angrily: "Why? Jun'er is still a child!"

"Because I love gambling, as long as the young master is sick, I can get the reward money."

"Mad man! I'll kill you!"

Kong Ru quickly stopped the furious Ye Jingchuan.

"Master, we still don't know what kind of poison he gave Jun'er. It won't be too late to deal with him after finding out."

"Butler Chen, lock him up in the woodshed and torture him severely."

After Butler Chen took the court doctor away, Ye Jingchuan looked at Ye Chutang.

"Chu'er, can you cure Jun'er's poison?"

"Of course he can, but Jun'er has been poisoned since he was young, which has damaged his foundation. He needs to slowly detoxify and recuperate."

"It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer, as long as Jun'er is fine. I'll give you as much silver as you need."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought that Ye Chutang would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

In the end, she said, "No need, we are family and we should keep our differences. After the family dinner, I will help Jun'er recover."

After saying that, she looked at Kong Ru.

"Madam Ye, if you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Be careful."

Just as Kong Ru was about to retort, Ye Chutang left the kitchen and returned to Ningchu Courtyard.

Chuntao followed immediately.

When they arrived at Ningchuyuan, she handed the tray containing clothes and headwear to Shan'er.

"My lady, I will come back to serve you at dawn tomorrow."

Ye Chutang is the protagonist tomorrow, and it will take at least an hour for her to dress up.

"Okay, go down."

After Chuntao left, Shan'er asked, "Miss, what did Sister Chuntao mean just now?"

"Mrs. Ye is worried that I might make a mistake tomorrow, so she asked her to stay by my side and serve me."

"Chun Tao is Madam's confidant, Miss, please be careful of her."

Ye Chutang nodded, "Where's Shuang'er?"

Shan'er looked towards the east wing.

"Shuang'er has been kneeling for three days and is extremely weak. He is now unconscious in a deep sleep."

"That's great. After you take a bath, tell me the real situation of the Ye Mansion and the families of high-ranking officials that you know about."

"As you command."

Dan'er has already boiled the hot water.

After helping Ye Chutang adjust the water temperature, she left the boudoir.

As soon as Ye Chutang entered the bathtub, he heard a commotion outside Ning Chu's courtyard.

"See the lady, I want to see the lady."

Recognizing the voice of the "crazy woman", she immediately called Dan'er.

Shan'er knew that Ye Chutang didn't like being watched while taking a bath, so she stood behind the screen.

"Miss, what do you want from me?"

"Go outside the yard and bring in that crazy woman."

She should have gone to see the "crazy woman" a long time ago, but she was too tired to learn the rules recently, so she delayed it.

"My lady, the master's men are keeping a close eye on her, and I am helpless."

Ye Chutang asked: "Do you know who she is?"

"I heard from others that she was the master's concubine before, but she had an unexpected miscarriage and went crazy."

"You heard this from others, what do you think?"

Shan'er knew that Ye Chutang was testing her.

"My lady, what I heard should be true, but only half of it."

"What's the other half?"

"She is the former wife's person. The master must have some ulterior motive in keeping her."

Ye Chutang felt that Shan'er was not only sensible but also very smart.

There was no movement outside the yard, so I guess the "crazy woman" had been taken away.

She asked Shan'er, "What do you think my father wants from her?"

Shan'er thought for a long time before replying, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the dowry list of the late Madam."

The late wife was a merchant's daughter, powerless and the master could only covet the sky-high dowry.

And if he wanted to make his first wife's dowry his own, he had to destroy all the dowry lists.

In this way, no one would know what the late wife's dowry included.

Even if the eldest daughter asks for the entire dowry, the master can still fool her by passing off inferior goods as good ones.

Ye Chutang looked at Dan'er behind the screen and decided to accept her.

"From now on, you will stay with me. When you want to leave, I will let you go."

She really needs someone by her side who fully understands the background of this era.

Otherwise, with her modern thinking, she would not be able to understand many things.

Shan'er was overjoyed and knelt down immediately.

"I thank the young lady for taking her in. I will never refuse even if I die."

"I won't take your life if I accept you. Just live well. Only when you are alive can you help me do things."

"Yes, I will follow the young lady's instructions."

Ye Chutang applied shower gel on his body and said, "Get up. Where does she live?"

Shan Er stood up and said, "Qingsong Courtyard in the northwest corner of Shangshu Mansion."

"Got it. You should go take a shower too. Let's finish our chat and get some rest soon. We have a tough battle tomorrow."

"As you command."

Not long after, Ye Chutang finished washing.

I simply rinsed the sheets and came in to clean up.

She ignored the still unused soap and cakes of soap and put them away.

There is a water outlet at the bottom of the bathtub, which can drain the water directly. You only need to clean the bathtub.

After cleaning up, she told Ye Chutang everything she knew.

This conversation lasted for an hour.

Ye Chutang learned about the true situation of the Ye family, the current situation of Beichen Kingdom, and the family affairs of some important officials of the court.

She yawned and said, "Shan'er, you don't have to keep watch anymore. Go to the side room and sleep."

"Yes, Miss."

Ye Chutang took a light nap after Shan'er left.

When I woke up, it was midnight and everything was quiet except for the chirping of insects.

The lanterns were extinguished and the entire Shangshu Mansion was in darkness.

Ye Chutang got up, put on a coat, and went to Qingsong Courtyard where the "crazy woman" lived.
