The pharmacy clerk kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "Madam, spare my life! Madam, spare my life!"
"I had no idea that the young mistress bought kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicine to make a move on the young master!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Madam He immediately stood up from her chair.
He Yunze was also indignant at this moment: "Song Xizhi's reputation in the capital was already bad. Grandmother found out as soon as she investigated. Now that my brother is in a coma, she has no one to control her and can do whatever she wants. How can my brother's body withstand it?"
Madam He's eyes darkened.
She liked Song Xizhi because Song Xizhi was good to He Jingyan.
She wanted He Jingyan to have an heir, but instead, she caused him to be tormented to death in his bed.
However, Madam He felt that Song Xizhi didn't seem like that kind of person, so she frowned slightly and said, "In that case, let's go and take a look at Ximoxuan."
When the group hurriedly arrived at Ximoxuan and pushed open the door, they saw Song Xizhi sitting cross-legged on a soft couch preparing medicine.
Song Ruoan's eyes lit up for a moment, but she quickly concealed her expression, her voice trembling slightly:
"Sister! How could you do such a thing! You're murdering your husband!"
Although He Yunze had expected this, he still couldn't help but sneer: "Caught red-handed! Song Xizhi, what else do you have to say?"
Song Xizhi paused in her actions, looked up at the furious He Yunce, and felt utterly bewildered:
Are you talking about me?
She was too exhausted last night and felt weak all over, so she prepared some medicine for herself. Otherwise, her hands and feet would be trembling today, and she probably wouldn't be able to go to her maternal grandfather's place.
"Who else could it be but you?"
He Yunze stared intently at Song Xizhi's actions, his eyes filled with hatred.
Sure enough, she was such a vicious woman. Only a few days after marrying into the family, she was already trying to kill her bedridden husband.
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi, for some unknown reason, suddenly burst out laughing: "What? Am I guilty of having kidney deficiency? And caught red-handed?"
If kidney deficiency is a crime, then He Yunce is already beyond redemption and has committed an unforgivable crime!
He Yunze sneered, "You bought dangerous drugs for your own selfish desires and tormented your sick brother. Isn't this catching you red-handed?"
Song Xizhi frowned, looking at him with utter disdain: "I'm preparing this medicine for myself. Your brother is perfectly healthy!"
"You're judging others by your own standards, which is rather laughable."
He Yunze gritted his teeth at Song Xizhi's words, feeling that his male dignity had been challenged.
He was about to speak when Old Madam He interrupted their argument, her voice tinged with worry: "Then let's call the family physician to take a look at Jingyan. It's just the right time for a consultation."
He Yunze then said, "After the physician finishes his examination, let's see what you have to say!"
In any case, with such a commotion last night, my brother will definitely suffer health damage, and Song Xizhi is doomed.
He must divorce Song Xizhi!
Physician Liu arrived quickly. After hearing the servant's explanation on the way, he hurriedly sat down by the bed to take He Jingyan's pulse.
The more he took the pulse, the more his brows furrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.
His prolonged silence made Old Madam He's heart clench. She hurriedly asked, "Physician Liu, is something wrong with Jingyan?"
Physician Liu shook his head, lost in deep thought: "Something's not right! Something's not right! This is really too strange!"
Upon hearing this, He Yunze immediately jumped up: "Grandmother! I must divorce this wicked woman for my brother's sake!"
He had barely finished speaking when he heard the voice of Physician Liu continue: "The eldest young master's condition has improved considerably. His pulse is stronger, and his body is responding somewhat to external stimuli."
He Yunce stood there, stunned.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, He Jingyan's health has improved.
The physician from the Liu family turned his head and looked in Song Xizhi's direction: "Young Madam, did you do something to the eldest young master?"
Song Xizhi coldly watched He Yunce's astonished figure.
She did not intend to reveal her medical skills to He Yunce, lest He Yunce become wary of He Jingyan.
So she just blinked innocently and said, "I didn't do anything. I just kept talking to him, telling him that his grandmother, father, and many other people were worried about him, and that we wanted him to wake up soon."
As Liu, the physician, listened, he suddenly noticed the large dark circles under Song Xizhi's eyes.
He was slightly startled. "The young master is fine, but the young mistress doesn't seem to be doing well!"
"I grow thinner and thinner, yet I have no regrets; I am wasting away for her sake. Young mistress, you have only been married into the family for a few days. You must not exhaust yourself taking care of the eldest young master!"
Hearing this, Song Xizhi felt a little guilty, but she still nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Doctor Liu. I am feeling a bit weak."
The physician from the Liu family took her pulse and his lips twitched slightly: "We should buy some kidney-tonifying medicine. The young mistress's body is severely depleted."
Madam He suddenly remembered the scene of getting medicine that she had seen when she came in, and then she realized what had happened.
It turns out that Song Xizhi went to the pharmacy because he was taking care of He Jingyan and was too tired!
She felt a mixture of relief and heartache: "Xizhi, while you're taking care of Jingyan, you also need to take care of yourself!"
The physician from the Liu family nodded and exclaimed to Madam He, "Madam, you've married a wonderful granddaughter-in-law!"
He Yunze and Song Ruoan stood there dumbfounded, listening to Physician Liu's unreserved praise of Song Xizhi, and both of them fell completely silent.
