Ding Huizhu stared intently at the white porcelain bottle in Xie Li's hand, from which she had already poured out a black pill.

The rich fragrance gradually wafted out, but Ding Huizhu was too far away to smell it.

She was furious when she saw that Xie Li was actually going to feed He Jingxuan medicine.

Is that medicine even safe to take? Isn't the lesson of her adoptive father being imprisoned for selling counterfeit medicine enough?

If something were to happen to He Jingxuan, it wouldn't matter if Xie Li went to jail, but the reputation of the Xie family and Huichuntang would be ruined!

Ding Huizhu felt like she was frozen solid for a moment. When she saw Xie Li pause, she rushed over and, in her haste, even stepped past Old Madam He, snatched the cane from her hand, and smashed it at Xie Li.

Grandma He was also angry, but she didn't know what Xie Li had taken. Seeing Ding Huizhu's agitated state, a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes, and she simply stopped and ignored it.

She felt a little regretful that her cane hadn't hit Xie Li, but seeing Ding Huizhu take matters into her own hands made her feel especially relieved.

Xie Li originally intended to stop and explain, after all, he also needed to give an explanation to the He family.

But seeing that Ding Huizhu had actually raised her cane, he quickly and decisively stuffed the pill into He Jingxuan's mouth, and even pressed down on his chin to make sure the pill went down his throat before raising his hand and grabbing the cane that had fallen above his head.

She felt very annoyed. Why did these people like to start hitting people as soon as they came up?

With a slight narrowing of his beautiful phoenix eyes, Xie Li snatched the cane and held it in his own hand.

"I've already given him the medicine, he'll wake up soon."

Ding Huizhu's cane was taken away by Xie Li. She couldn't stop the force and fell to the side, crashing into the cabinet next to her.

Anger, resentment, and sadness all mingled in her mind in an instant. She looked up at Xie Li, utterly disappointed.

"Xie Li!" The words were barely squeezed out through clenched teeth. "If anything really happens to Young Master He today, even if the He family beats you to death on the spot, you deserve it!"

It wasn't that she didn't want to get involved, but if someone really died, the feud with the He family would be permanent.

The He family has connections in the capital, while the Xie family is now in decline and cannot withstand the He family's wrath.

"The Xie family will absolutely not plead for you, nor will they clean up your mess. You can just wait to rot in jail!"

Grandma He was also furious: "This is outrageous! What did you feed my grandson? This is murder! Yes, I'm calling the police!"

Judging from Ding Huizhu's words, the medicine Xie Li fed her must be problematic. How could Old Madam He tolerate that?

The girl first injured her grandson, then broke into his hospital room and forcibly fed him an unknown pill.

Old Mrs. He: "You're so young yet you're already as heartless as a snake. Don't think you can get away with this, Xie family. I'll make you pay with your life today!"

The servants brought by Old Madam He immediately clapped their hands, and several burly men rushed in, charging towards Xie Li with murderous intent.

"Dr. Bai, this way please." Just then, footsteps came from inside. Madam He pushed open the door and was taken aback by the tense atmosphere in the ward.

What happened?

Ding Huizhu was overwhelmed with shame and didn't know how to explain herself.

Grandma He burst into tears, "Your son is about to die! This vicious girl just fed Jingxuan a poison pill!"

"Oh dear, my poor grandson! Jingxuan, Grandma will avenge you!"
