"Is he the one who poisoned Madam Xiang?"
The Madam Xiang mentioned by Wei Yunlan is the mother of his good friend Xiang Yuying.
The last time Doctor Yu diagnosed Yuying, he concluded that her weak constitution was caused by Madam Xiang poisoning her in the womb.
Seeing Doctor Yu nod, Wei Yunlan quickly asked, "Is this poison the same as the one that Madam Xiang was poisoned with? Can you treat it?"
"Similar but different." Doctor Yu explained the difference between the two poisons to Wei Yunlan.
Mrs. Xiang was poisoned by abortion poison, and the toxin was mainly absorbed by the fetus.
The poison that her aunt was suffering from now was another kind of chronic poison that was difficult to detect. If he was not very familiar with the methods of that evil disciple, other doctors would not be able to find any signs of poisoning. The only conclusion we can draw is that the body becomes weak due to the cold weather.
"I can try to cure this poison." Doctor Yu said seriously.
Over the years, he has been studying how to crack the poison used by the evil disciples, and has made some progress. Fortunately, the Tong family did not dare to use too strong a poison in order to conceal their tracks. Although the poison has already caused damage to the body, the damage is irreversible, but if we start treatment now, we can still save his life.
Wei Yunlan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It's good enough to save your life. As long as you're alive, everything else is trivial.
"Mr. Yu, can you tell how long my aunt has been poisoned?" Wei Yunlan asked.
Doctor Yu carefully felt the pulse for a moment, and then with the help of Wei Yunlan, he carefully looked at the opened eyelids of the person on the bed.
His face was slightly tense, and he judged, "It's probably been quite a while. Your aunt must have started to poison you a year ago, but the dosage was very small, so no one else could notice anything."
"What poison?"
Old Madam Tong was worried that something might have happened inside, but Wei Yunlan's maid kept blocking her at the door and wouldn't let her in. After hesitating for a while, she finally forced her way in with the maid.
As soon as I entered, I heard Dr. Yu’s last sentence.
He immediately turned timid and pointed at Doctor Yu and scolded him, "This is the Tong residence. The person on the bed is our Third Madam. Who has the guts to poison her? You old man, don't talk nonsense!"
"Mr. Yu is just discussing my aunt's illness with me. Why is Madam Tong speaking so harshly?" Wei Yunlan raised her eyebrows and looked at Madam Tong.
The young face was so majestic without even being angry that even Old Lady Tong, who had come to the palace to meet the noble, felt pressured.
Thinking of what Old Master Tong had reminded her just now, Old Madam Tong did not dare to argue with Wei Yunlan anymore.
He just relaxed his expression and frowned, "Maybe I heard it wrongly."
"Ms. Wei hasn't woken up yet. If you have nothing to do, you can come and sit with me. It just so happens that I have just hired a cook from the south who is good at making tea and snacks. Miss Wei has lived in the north for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for her to take a taste of the fine tea and snacks from the south."
Seeing that Wei Yunlan was unmoved, Madam Tong continued, "Ms. Wei usually doesn't wake up until noon. I am concerned about her weak body, so I have exempted her from paying respects. Miss Wei, please don't disturb your aunt's rest."
Looking at Madam Tong's pretended condemnation and concern, Wei Yunlan chuckled.
"I won't eat the tea fruit."
"As for my aunt's illness... the doctors in Tong Mansion have been treating my aunt for more than a year and still haven't been able to cure her. This shows that their medical skills are not good enough and they don't have the ability to treat illnesses. In this case, we won't bother the doctors in Tong Mansion. I will take my aunt away to recuperate."
"What?"
Madam Tong's face darkened, and she blocked the door, "You can't take Wei away. Miss Wei, I am speaking politely to you, not because I am afraid of you. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will go to the palace to file a complaint even if I have to sacrifice my reputation."
Wei Yunlan ignored Madam Tong's shouting and ordered Zou Yun and Sui He to pick up her aunt. She then glanced at them calmly and said, "If you want to sue, go ahead. If the Tong family doesn't sue today, I will report this to Jingzhao Prefecture tomorrow. What is your intention in poisoning my aunt?"
"Sui He, Zou Yun. Let's go!"
"Stop them!" Old Madam Tong ordered urgently.
Several maids and nannies she brought with her stepped forward, but before they could get close, Zou Yun raised his leg and knocked them down.
"Wei!"
"Are you just going to let your niece from your mother's side do whatever she wants in our Tong family?"
Old Madam Tong suddenly shouted.
Wei Yunlan followed her gaze.
I saw that the aunt who was held in Suihe's arms had opened her eyes at some point and was looking at the scene in front of her with a confused look on her face, as if she had not come to her senses.
Noticing her gaze, her aunt looked over.
When their eyes met, my aunt was startled at first, and then her eyes turned red.
"Is it Lan'er?"
"Lan'er, are you back in Beijing?"
Seeing her niece whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Wei Jingyi stretched out her hands and struggled to get up, but her body was too weak and she almost fell to the ground while moving.
Fortunately, Suihe's arms were strong and she held her very steadily, preventing her from falling out of his arms.
"Aunt, you're awake." Wei Yunlan took two steps forward and grabbed her aunt's outstretched hand.
The strength and warmth coming from his hand brought Wei Jingyi back to his senses.
The scene before her was not a dream; she really saw her niece who had been exiled to Beiguan with her mother's family and whom she had not seen for a long time!
"Lan'er, why did you return to Beijing?"
Looking at her aunt's confused, surprised, and seemingly unbelievable eyes, Wei Yunlan knew that the Tong family must not have told her aunt what had happened during this period.
"Aunt, I'm back. Father and mother will be back in the capital soon, and then our family will be reunited again."
"That's great, that's great..." Wei Jingyi's eyes were filled with tears.
"Since Wei has woken up, Miss Wei, you should quickly ask your maid to put her down..." Old Lady Tong interrupted.
Wei Yunlan's face suddenly became serious. She did not respond to Madam Tong's reminder. Instead, she looked at her aunt and said, "Aunt, I came to the Tong family to visit you today. You were asleep. The doctor I brought with me found that you were poisoned by a chronic poison. Your physical weakness over the past year or so is not due to illness, but poisoning. This poisoning will not cause sudden death in a short period of time, but it accumulates over time. You have already taken it for a year. If you take it for another year or two at most, you will die naturally in the eyes of outsiders."
"Miss Wei, you are slandering me! Our Tong family will not tolerate your slander like this!"
"Aunt, they want your life. We can't stay here anymore. If you trust me, I will take you back to the Duke's Mansion first." Wei Yunlan looked straight into his aunt's eyes.
After a brief moment of surprise, Wei Jingyi's eyes showed realization.
Then there was a bitter smile.
She has always had a gentle personality, but the feeling of sadness that welled up in her heart at this moment, and the strength and warmth that continued to come from her niece in her hands, prompted her to nod her head.
"Okay, Lan'er, I'll go with you."
