Chapter 25 Go and invite the third elder of Yaowang Valley!
Looking at Yu Youning's expression, Yu Tingwan seemed a little helpless, but he didn't say anything. He took Yu Youning's hand and walked into the warm room.
In the warm room, Lin Siqiong noticed the two of them at the first moment and looked over at them instantly with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.
Yu Youning looked at Lin Siqiong with curiosity, "Aunt, why are you staring at Youning?"
"Nothing!" Lin Siqiong forced a smile and looked away.
Marquis Yong'an heard the conversation between the two and looked at them with some impatience.
Yu'er was still unconscious, but the two of them still had the mind to chat!
The court physician sat beside the bed and took Lin Yu's pulse, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could almost pinch a fly to death.
The Marquis' wife was originally waiting patiently, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that the court doctor didn't say anything, she became impatient.
"House doctor, what's going on? What happened to Yu'er?"
The court doctor slowly withdrew his hand, his expression extremely serious, "My Lord, Madam, the young master's pulse shows that he has been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" The Marquis's wife staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Siqiong hurriedly supported him and asked on behalf of the Marquis' wife, "House Doctor, what kind of poison did Yu'er get? Do you know how he got poisoned? How can we cure it?"
The court physician looked embarrassed. "Please forgive me, young lady. I am not well-trained. I don't know what the poison is, how I got poisoned, and how to cure it."
With every word the court doctor spoke, the expression on Marquis Yong'an's face grew uglier. "According to you, Yu'er can only wait to die?"
The court physician shuddered upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Lord, calm down! Although I don't know how to treat him, I can temporarily keep the young master alive. I heard that the third elder of Medicine King Valley has arrived in the capital in the past few days. If we can invite him here, the young master will definitely be saved!"
The Marquis of Yong'an's expression finally lightened up. "Then what are you waiting for? Steward, go and invite them!"
"My Lord, please wait!" the court doctor hurriedly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Marquis Yong'an looked at the court doctor with some impatience.
"My Lord, the elders of Medicine King Valley all have rather strange tempers. It's difficult to invite ordinary people. I'm afraid it won't work if I just send the housekeeper!"
"Do you think I should go and invite them myself?"
"My Lord, the three elders came to the capital to diagnose the Crown Prince's pulse..."
Lin Siqiong laughed immediately after hearing this. "I see. If that's the case, then let Li'er tell the prince."
Yong'an Hou also showed his pride. "With Li'er's relationship with the Crown Prince, it's just a matter of asking him to come over. Li'er, I leave this matter to you. Go quickly, your uncle is still waiting for help!"
The court doctor also hurriedly said, "Miss Ruoli, even if I try my best, I can only protect the young master for five or six hours. Please come back soon, Miss Ruoli."
Lin Ruoli straightened her back and nodded solemnly, "I understand. Grandpa, Grandma, Li'er will be leaving now."
Seeing Lin Ruoli and the servants leave, Lin Siqiong helped the Marquis' wife sit on a chair and comforted her softly, "Mother, Li'er is gone. I think it won't be long before we can invite the Third Elder. Yu'er will be fine. Don't worry."
The Marquis's wife's expression didn't soften at all, still filled with worry. "How could Yu'er be poisoned? And it's a poison that even the court doctor doesn't recognize. Who could be so cruel? If I find this person, I will definitely tear his tendons and skin him alive! Otherwise, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
When Lin Siqiong heard what the Marquis' wife said, a complex emotion flashed across her lowered eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to normal. "Mother is right. Yu'er is sensible and filial. He never offends anyone easily. How could he be poisoned..."
Marquis Yong'an subconsciously looked at Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning.
Noticing the gaze of the Yong'an Marquis, Yu Tingwan's heart sank. "Father, what do you mean by this? Is he still suspicious of us, mother and daughter?"
Marquis Yong'an's face darkened instantly. "I didn't say anything. Why are you so excited? Are you feeling guilty?"
Yu Tingwan's eyes reddened, but her attitude remained resolute. "Father has no evidence, yet he repeatedly suspects us. In his heart, are we such cruel people? Since he despises us so much, we're leaving today!"
"Stop right there!" Marquis Yong'an shouted angrily. "If you haven't done anything, why do you care what others think? You constantly give me a hard time and even threaten me with leaving. Do you really think I won't kick you out?"
"We haven't done anything we haven't done. Why can't we defend ourselves when we're suspected?" Yu Tingwan became more and more sad as she spoke. She never thought that one day she would be suspected by her own father like this.
Even if she didn't grow up in the Marquis' Mansion, she and Lin Yu are biological sisters after all. How could she possibly poison him?
Just as he was feeling sad, the Marquis's wife looked at him impatiently.
"Tingwan, why are you so ignorant? Yu'er's life or death is uncertain. Your father and I are exhausted and worried. Even if he suspects you and Youning, it's understandable. Isn't it enough to explain it clearly? Why are you still so stubborn? Yu'er is your own brother, and you don't care about his life or death. You only care about your and Youning's reputation. Do you think you are right?"
Every word the Marquis' wife said was like a knife stabbing Yu Tingwan's heart, making her so heartbroken that she couldn't speak.
Yu Youning pulled Yu Tingwan's hand hard and looked at Madam Hou angrily, "Grandma, it's understandable that you suspect me and mother, so why don't you suspect my aunt and Li'er?"
"Nonsense!" The Marquis's face turned cold. "Siqiong and Li'er grew up by my side. I know their personalities best. How could they do such a thing?"
Lin Siqiong's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of grievance. "Youning, why do you miss me so much?"
As she spoke, Lin Siqiong looked at the Marquis's wife and the Marquis of Yong'an with red eyes again, "Mother, Father, I really didn't do that! For so many years, I have always treated Yu'er as my own brother and doted on him. How could I possibly poison him?"
Madam Hou held Lin Siqiong's hand and patted it gently. "Siqiong, mother knows best what kind of person you are. Mother knows that you would never do such a thing. Don't take the nonsense that Youning says seriously."
Yong'an Hou glared at Yu Youning and said, "Hurry up and apologize to your aunt!"
Before Yu Youning could say anything, there was a noise outside.
When they turned around, they saw Chu Huaixu striding in, followed closely by Lin Ruoli.
Behind the two of them, there was an old man with half-white hair, who had a casual and unrestrained posture, and looked like a master.
