"Mother, could it be that Muxue injured Youxue?" Qian Sheng didn't quite believe that his sensible second daughter would do such a thing. He had just heard from the servants that it was Yingxue who caused the trouble.

The old lady snorted angrily and said with dissatisfaction, "Mu Xue is sensible enough not to harm You Xue, but that brat Ying Xue has repeatedly made trouble for You Xue. You Xue is not fully recovered yet, and she actually came to cause trouble again. Such a vicious person, twenty strokes of the cane is already too lenient. If there is a next time, she should be expelled from the Qian family."

"Mother, please calm down. Your son will definitely make sure Liu disciplines you strictly." Qian Sheng knew that his mother was truly angry this time.

The sensible Yunhe served the old lady a cup of hot tea. The old lady gave Yunhe an appreciative look, took a sip, and softened her tone slightly, saying, "You always want to elevate that wretched Liu to the status of a secondary wife. Have you considered the Su family? Although the Liu family has someone as a concubine, they have no offspring. Don't completely block your own path."

Qian Sheng slumped to the ground, deeply pondering his mother's words. His mother was right; although Consort Liu was currently favored, she ultimately had no children to protect herself.

However, the Su family is different. The Su family holds military power. Although they have been indifferent to the matter for years, Su Shi is, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, and she still needs to save face.

It seems that he has been too eager for quick success all these years and almost made a mistake. However, it can't be blamed on him. Who made Qian Youxue's face look like this? If she could be like a normal woman, she could also contribute to the Qian family.

At this moment, Mei'er's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the doctor has been summoned."

"Let the doctor in to examine the young lady," the old lady replied, then looked at her son kneeling on the ground: "Get up. Now that Bowen is back, you better open your eyes wide. If anyone dares to lay a hand on my precious grandson, I will kill her!"

"Yes, son understands, son takes his leave!" Qian Sheng knew who his mother was talking about, bowed respectfully, picked up his unconscious second daughter before leaving, and glanced at his eldest daughter on the bed with a depressed expression as he reached the door.

On the bed, Qian Youxue was thankful that she had taken the pill early in the morning; otherwise, with her grandmother's powerful spiritual energy, she would have fainted like everyone else.

I secretly glanced at my grandmother and noticed that her complexion was much worse than usual. I guessed that she had a chronic illness and that she had used her spiritual power in anger to look like this.

It seems that improving my alchemy level is of utmost urgency. Only by refining pills of higher purity can I help my powerful grandmother.

Cough cough...

When the old lady saw the doctor enter, she politely got up to greet him, saying, "Dr. Hua, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner. I apologize for my rudeness."

"Madam, you are being too kind to Duanli. If I were to ask you to come and greet me, my mother would surely punish me when we get back." Hua Duanli politely bowed deeply to the old lady.

Everyone knows that the Hua family has Hua Duanlian, because Hua Duanlian was once the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. However, many people do not know that Hua Duanlian also has a younger brother, Hua Duanli, who is also a highly skilled physician.

Hua Duanli was a low-key person who disliked the infighting in officialdom and enjoyed traveling in the Zhou Kingdom when he was young. After his elder brother retired from his position as head of the academy, he began working as a doctor in his family's pharmacy, and his medical skills were even better than Hua Duanlian's.

The old lady had some connection with the matriarch of the Hua family; outsiders might not know this, but she was very clear about it. Moreover, Hua Duanli was never afraid of powerful figures and rarely came to their homes for medical consultations. His sudden appearance was quite unexpected for her.
