Miss Xie's frail body was now filled with strength as she snatched the maids and servants from the thugs and protected them behind her.
When Huang saw her, she was not afraid at all, but instead became sarcastic, saying, "It's a waste that the old lady usually dotes on you the most, but when she's sick, you disappear without a trace."
Miss Xie tried her best to hold back her tears, and said angrily, "I went to fetch a doctor for my grandmother, so stop spreading alarmist rumors!"
Madam Huang adjusted her hairpin in a pretentious manner, her gaze sweeping over Miss Xie. "Ask a doctor? Where is the doctor?"
Miss Xie stood upright in front of the old lady's bed. "The doctor will be here soon. Please go back. You are not welcome here."
Madam Huang sighed softly, "How can you talk like that, child? I am your mother in name only. I was very worried about the old lady's serious illness, so I specially invited a famous doctor from the capital to treat her. Who knew that these traitors would obstruct us? Isn't this delaying the old lady's treatment?"
"Shut up!" Miss Xie interrupted her sharply. "First, you are not worthy to be associated with my mother. Second, if anything happens to my grandmother, I will break your legs and kick you out of the Marquis's mansion!"
"Oh dear," Madam Huang feigned alarm, covering her mouth. "The young lady is starting to talk nonsense! What are you all standing there for? Quickly pull the young lady away and let the doctor examine the old lady!"
The thugs were instructed to move forward again.
Miss Xie immediately grabbed the lamp from her arm and threw it at Madam Huang, shouting, "I'll fight anyone who dares to touch my grandmother!"
"Oh dear!" Huang, who was nearly hit, felt a surge of anger, but her face showed extreme anxiety. "She's gone mad! The young lady has gone mad! Quickly pull her away, or the old lady's life will be in danger!"
A throwing knife pierced Huang's shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain and no longer able to scream; she could only wail in agony.
"Brother!" Miss Xie's eyes reddened, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Xie Yanzhou walked in with a gloomy expression, his sharp gaze sweeping over the thugs.
The next instant, he raised his hand and waved it, sending several silver needles flying into the bodies of the thugs. In an instant, the thugs collapsed to the ground.
The young man in blue following behind him clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Brother Xie, your family is in a real mess."
Xie Yanzhou frowned. "Go and check on my grandmother's condition first."
The young man in blue nodded and, without delay, picked up his medicine box and ran to the bedside to begin the diagnosis.
Just as Miss Xie was about to say something, Xie Yanzhou raised his hand to interrupt her.
He first summoned several servants, pointed at the thugs on the ground, and coldly ordered, "Tie them up and lock them in the woodshed."
The servants nodded tremblingly, "Yes, yes."
"Oh dear...you madman, I'm going to sue you for murder..."
"Shut up!" Xie Yanzhou sternly rebuked Huang Shi. He walked closer to Huang Shi step by step and stood in front of her, looking down at her.
A cold, murderous gaze fell directly on Huang Shi. "The reason I spared your life until now was because I didn't want you to go down and sully my mother's eyes. Now it seems you've chosen to die, so I'll send you to hell."
Huang Shi was filled with fear, her body trembling uncontrollably. "You...you...what do you want to do? I am the Crown Prince's wife! If you kill me, the Crown Prince will not let you off!"
Xie Yanzhou kicked her in the injured shoulder with such force that he kicked her out of the house.
And it rolled right to the feet of Xie Shizi, who was rushing over.
"Zhirou!" Prince Xie helped Huang up with heartache, then looked at Xie Yanzhou standing at the door with a face full of anger.
"You unfilial son! Kneel down!"
Xie Yanzhou's expression was extremely cold. "Who is the unfilial son? Your own mother was poisoned and murdered by this wicked woman and is now bedridden. As her son, you are not by her side, but you only come out to protect her when this wicked woman is in trouble. Tell me, who is the unfilial son!"
The young master Xie's hand trembled with anger as he pointed at Xie Yanzhou. He glared at him and scolded, "You've gone too far! You've forgotten your place after just a few days in office! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you unfilial son!"
"Guards! Bring out the family discipline!"
Xie Yanzhou sneered, "Do you think I'd let you hit me like that?"
"How dare you speak to your father like that? He's only doing this for your own good, how can you be so ungrateful!" Xie San and Xie Si, who were following behind Xie Shizi, began to speak up for their father in order to show their filial piety.
Xie Yanzhou leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, his sharp gaze piercing Xie San and Xie Si's faces like icy arrows.
They trembled in fright and quickly hid behind Prince Xie.
"Brother Xie, come here quickly." A solemn voice came from inside the house.
Xie Yanzhou's heart tightened. He gave the people in the courtyard a warning look, then turned and went into the house.
"How is Grandma?" he asked, his nerves on edge.
The young man in blue sighed and looked at Xie Yanzhou apologetically, "The old lady is too old to withstand such poison. The antidote can only remove most of the toxins. The remaining toxins in her body need to be resisted by her own body in conjunction with other medications."
"But the old lady is too weak to absorb the medicine, let alone fight the toxins. Thank you, brother... I have done my best."
Xie Yanzhou's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened little by little. His eyes were filled with hope, and his voice trembled, "Is there really... no way?"
"No, it won't happen..." Miss Xie's eyes were filled with tears, "Brother, I've gone to ask Miss Nan for help. She'll bring Lord Bai here soon. Grandmother will definitely be alright!"
Xie Yanzhou frowned slightly, his voice weak, "Didn't I tell you not to bother her?"
The young man in blue's eyes lit up. "Miss Xie, are you referring to Bai Shu?"
“Yes, it’s him.” Miss Xie nodded hurriedly.
Hope ignited in the young man's eyes. "Brother Xie, Bai Shu is most skilled at detoxification. His acupuncture skills are unmatched. If he were here, he could use his acupuncture skills to unblock the old lady's blocked meridians and help her eliminate the hidden toxins. The old lady might have a glimmer of hope."
