When Madam Tang heard that the situation was not serious, her heart immediately settled down.

The illness that other doctors couldn't diagnose was diagnosed by He Jiuniang with just a simple look, and she believed that He Jiuniang could definitely cure her daughter.

Tang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. When she first heard about the poisoning, she thought she was going to die.

But why was the thing that Young Master Liu gave her poisoned?

Didn't he say it wouldn't harm her body? But now she's bleeding.

After blindly liking him for so long, Tang Xuan began to have doubts about that young master Liu for the first time.

"Dr. He, please save me! I don't want to die!"

She reached out and tugged at He Jiuniang's sleeve, her eyes pleading, never before had she longed to live as much as she did now.

He Jiuniang did not answer, but looked at Tang Xuan with a smile and said, "Then it depends on whether Miss Tang is honest or not."

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the maid beside her. The maid, receiving her signal, immediately knelt before everyone and said, "It's pills sent by Young Master Liu. He says they'll allow you to feign illness and gracefully annul the engagement..."

Madam Tang was furious, but she forced herself to calm down and asked, "Is it that Liu Shiwen?"

The little maid nodded timidly. Madam Tang raised her hand to hit her, but Tang Xuan held her back tightly.

"Mother, it was my fault for not letting her tell you. Blame me if you must!"

Tang Xuan had a good relationship with this little maid, after all, they grew up together, and their bond was strong, so she naturally couldn't bear to see her being beaten.

"Madam, it's all my fault for not stopping Miss in time! I'm willing to be punished, please don't blame Miss!"

The little maid didn't disappoint Tang Xuan; she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing until her forehead was bleeding.

Madam Tang was furious, but Tang Xuan was holding her back, so she couldn't hit her. She could only scold, "How many times have I told you that Liu Shiwen is no good person! He's dishonest and doesn't study hard. He's not a good match at all! The young master Kang that your parents found for you is the most outstanding young man in the surrounding area. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and is a first-rate talent. Would your parents lie to you?"

Originally, Madam Chen was angry about being annulled in this way, but now, hearing what Madam Tang said, she felt proud again. Her son was the most outstanding young man in the surrounding area. If it weren't for his poor health in recent years, he might have already passed the imperial examinations and become an official to benefit the people.

With things having escalated to this point, Tang Xuan felt there was no point in hiding anything anymore, so she cried and said, "But he said he would change for the better for our daughter, that he would study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and then marry me!"

Madam Tang was so angry she couldn't speak. She exhaled several deep breaths before saying, "He's good to you by giving you these weird and wicked medicines that ruin your health? In all my years, I've never heard of anyone being so kind! I'm telling you this now: if you continue to be so stubborn, I'll send Doctor He back. Whether you live or die, your father and I will no longer care about you!"

This leaves Tang Xuan with a choice: life or love.

This surprised He Jiuniang quite a bit; she hadn't expected Madam Tang to be such a decisive person.

Tang Xuan seemed to have never expected her mother to be so ruthless, and she was stunned on the spot.

Taking advantage of this moment, Madam Tang turned around and said to Madam Chen with great apology, "Sister Kang, I'm so sorry, I never expected this wretched girl to do such a thing..."

When Madam Chen saw that Madam Tang was truly heartbroken and angry, and that she was completely unaware of the truth, even if she was angry inside, she couldn't express it at this moment.

Instead, he turned to comfort Madam Tang: "It's alright, it's alright. Anyway, I've already accepted your family's letter of annulment. If the child doesn't want to, don't force it. But health is the most important thing. Sister Tang, you can't do anything reckless."

Madam Tang knew that once she revealed Liu Shiwen's affair, the Kang family would never want her daughter again, and she would have no face to plead for her daughter.

Now, breaking off the engagement as originally planned is the best solution for both families.

"Alas, it is my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly. I am truly sorry to Sister Kang and Young Master Kang. This matter is our fault, and we are willing to compensate..."

Madam Chen quickly interrupted her, saying, "Sister, please don't say that. My family hasn't suffered any losses, so let's not talk about compensation. But you, sister, have become so haggard in just a few days. It's heartbreaking to see you like that. You'll have to take good care of yourself later."

Afterwards, Mrs. Tang apologized and thanked everyone, and even shed a tear of bitterness.

Tang Xuan finally made up her mind, biting her lower lip as she said, "Mother, I still want to live a good life..."

After she learned that the medicine Liu Shiwen gave her would damage her body, her heart wavered. Coupled with her mother's pressure, even though she was very reluctant to part with Liu Shiwen, she could not really break away from her parents.

Deep down, she knew that Liu Shiwen would not be the best match for her.
