"Mother!"
Wei Jingyi was supported by Wei Yunlan and Suihe on both sides as they walked out. With the help of Wei Yunlan, the Tong family couldn't stop them at all.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I heard an anxious and panicked voice accompanied by hurried footsteps.
Wei Yunlan looked over and saw the person coming in was a young girl wearing a lotus-colored narrow-sleeved jacket, with only a maid accompanying her. Perhaps she left in too much of a hurry, she didn't even have time to put on her coat, and her hair was a little messy.
"Wanshi." Wei Yunlan called softly.
The girl who came over anxiously was her aunt's daughter, Tong Wanshi, the only legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Tong family.
After she got married, she rarely met her aunt, and had even fewer opportunities to see her cousin Wanshi. The last time they met was when she was still waiting to get married.
That is to say, Wanshi looks similar to her aunt, so she could recognize her at a glance.
"Wanshi, this is your cousin." Wei Jingyi reminded in a weak voice.
"Cousin." Tong Wanshi looked surprised and familiar. Apparently, like Wei Jingyi, she was unaware that someone from the Wei family had already returned to the capital.
After she called out as her mother reminded her, her eyes fell back on her mother's pale face, "Why did you get out of bed? Grandma said something happened to you, and I was scared..."
After her mother fell ill last winter, she took the initiative to live in her mother's yard. But a few years ago, her grandmother asked her to move back to her own yard because she was afraid that she would get sick. She could only visit her for a few moments every day when she paid her respects.
Today, she watched her mother take the medicine and fall asleep before returning to her own yard. Unexpectedly, not long after, she saw the nanny beside her grandmother coming over and saying that something had happened to her mother and asked her to come over quickly.
She thought her mother's condition had suddenly worsened, and she was so scared that she ran over here without even having time to put on her jacket.
Now it seems that the situation is not quite what she imagined.
"Wanshi, go and persuade your mother!" Madam Tong stepped forward and pointed at Wei Yunlan and the people she brought with her, saying, "The quack doctor your cousin brought insisted that your mother was poisoned and wanted to take your mother away from our house."
Madam Tong looked anxious and angry. After realizing that she was too anxious, she sighed slowly and continued to advise:
"Wanshi, you stayed by your mother's side for a long time after she fell ill, so you know exactly what's wrong with her. Patients should not worry or move. Please persuade your mother to go back and rest, and don't believe the words of this quack doctor."
Tong Wanshi was stunned by what Madam Tong said, and subconsciously looked towards Wei Yunlan and Doctor Yu.
Just when Madam Tong thought that she would do as she said, she saw her frown slightly and said disapprovingly: "Grandma, there is no need for my cousin to harm my mother."
"Mother and cousin haven't seen each other for a long time. I think mother would like to have a chance to stay with cousin for a few days to reminisce about the past. If grandma is worried, I will go with mother and take care of her." Tong Wanshi said to Madam Tong, and then looked in the direction of Wei Yunlan, "Cousin, you shouldn't mind taking me with you, right?"
"Of course." Wei Yunlan nodded with a smile.
Cousin Wanshi was more clever than she thought, but this also showed that the Tong family was ruthless. Cousin Wanshi must have discovered something.
"Let's go." Wei Yunlan winked at Zou Yun who was following beside him.
The people she brought immediately separated the people from the Tong family.
He only took away his aunt, cousin Wanshi, and the personal maid who followed cousin Wanshi.
Tong Mansion and Duke Xu's Mansion are located to the east and west of the imperial city.
The journey is not short, but Wei Yunlan anticipated the possibility of this happening today, and had someone prepare a spacious and comfortable carriage in advance. This carriage was modified by the Tianshu Pavilion's craftsmanship department, and the interior is very comfortable. When traveling on the wide streets of the capital, one cannot feel the slightest bump, as if one is still lying on a soft couch.
Although Wei Jingyi didn't know what happened outside during the time when she was bedridden, she could guess that her niece was doing well now by looking at the exquisite carriage and the dozens of mighty guards following the carriage.
The heart that had been hanging in the air since two years ago has finally been relieved a lot.
The carriage drove into the residence of Duke Xu, and the wife of the Duke Xu's son hurriedly brought people to greet them. She had just received a letter from Wei Yunlan, so she quickly ordered people to clean up a yard.
Seeing Wei Jingyi's pale face and slightly blue lips, his expression became solemn, and he said with regret and self-blame: "It's my fault. I actually believed the Tong family's words and never thought of going to take a look in person."
"Even if you go over and take a look, you won't be able to tell that your aunt has been poisoned." Wei Yunlan comforted her aunt.
This matter really cannot be blamed on the Xu Guogong Mansion. The Tong family acted very thoughtfully, and even the two children born to my uncle and aunt thought that my aunt had caught a cold, and the disease was contracted after catching a cold. How could others think more about it?
Wei Yunlan arranged for her aunt to rest.
He told everyone in Duke Xu's mansion exactly what had happened at the Tong family.
Tong Wanshi was also left aside to listen.
Hearing that if the poisoning had not been discovered, her mother would most likely not survive this summer, Tong Wanshi could not help but clench her fists, her face livid, "I was wondering why grandma insisted on me moving out of my mother's yard..."
"Does your father know about this?" Wei Yunlan could roughly see that Tong Wanshi still sided with her aunt.
As a child, we definitely don’t want our biological mother to die.
But as a husband, he may not want his wife, who is a burden from her natal family, to make room for newcomers.
Tong Wanshi's face froze and her lips trembled. If it were in the past, she would definitely refute her cousin.
But since her mother fell ill, her father rarely set foot in her mother's yard, otherwise she would not have had the opportunity to move into her mother's yard to take care of her.
Her father might not value her mother as much as she thought.
Thinking of this, perhaps with her father's tacit approval, Tong Wanshi felt a chill run down her spine.
She lowered her head and murmured, "I don't know..."
Looking at Tong Wanshi's reaction, Wei Yunlan had already guessed what was going on.
"Cousin, mother has been poisoned for so long, is there really any way to cure her?" Tong Wanshi asked with hope in her eyes, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"Yes, Mr. Yu beside me can cure this poison." Wei Yunlan nodded firmly.
"That's good." Tong Wanshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked cautiously: "Cousin, can you... let my mother stay outside for a while longer, and don't send her back home so quickly."
She was a little worried that her mother would suffer again after returning home.
"Don't worry, as long as my aunt doesn't want to go back, no one can force her to go back to that home." Wei Yunlan gave an affirmative answer.
The poison that my aunt has been poisoned with can be cured and her life can be saved.
And the Tong family must pay the price for their actions.
