Prime Minister Lin forced a smile, but his heart was filled with disgust for He Yunze.
"Everything before was a misunderstanding. I was deliberately misled, which resulted in Miaoxin's death..."
As he spoke, his hateful gaze uncontrollably turned towards He Yunce's direction, as if he wanted to tear him apart and devour him.
Sensing the obvious disgust Prime Minister Lin showed towards He Yunze, Su Shaoyuan's sarcastic smile deepened.
"Lord Lin, please don't be angry. After all, He Yunze is your student, and you personally helped him to the position of Grand Counselor. It's only right that you trust him."
"After all, who wouldn't trust their own student? Especially an unprecedentedly favored student."
Su Shaoyuan's words were like a knife to the heart, leaving Prime Minister Lin filled with remorse and regret!
In that case, he trusted the wrong person and personally ruined Miaoxin's health to this state!
Although Su Shaoyuan's words, though seemingly casual, only fueled Prime Minister Lin's remorse: "What happened before was my fault, Lord Su, I apologize to you..."
"If I had known this would happen, I would never have promoted him to the position of Grand Counselor!"
Upon hearing this, Su Shaoyuan shrugged and said, "You've said everything. Well, it's too late to regret it now. You can't deal with His Majesty even if you want to. It's truly like raising a tiger to cause trouble!"
Prime Minister Lin felt a tightness in his chest from their words, as if he were about to vomit blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let him go!"
Having finally heard what they wanted to hear, the Su family members slowly moved aside and stepped aside from Prime Minister Lin.
No one stopped him, and Prime Minister Lin, carrying Lin Miaoxin, hurriedly went around the screen and rushed to Song Xizhi's side.
He hugged Lin Miaoxin tightly, wanting to speak, "Mrs. He, Miaoxin is very ill, and I'm so sorry to trouble you..."
But Song Xizhi was so engrossed in his work that he didn't hear a thing. The noise of the crowd around him drowned out his words.
All that could be heard was Su Mingren's sigh: "As the ancients said, life is like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back..."
Hearing those words, Prime Minister Lin felt a lump in his throat and stumbled again.
He took a deep breath and squeezed next to Song Xizhi, forcing a smile.
Even he could only say respectfully at this moment, "Madam He, we had some misunderstandings in the past, please forgive us, Miaoxin is very ill..."
Upon hearing his words, Song Xizhi slightly raised his head, glanced at him emotionlessly, and then calmly said:
"As long as you stand in line honestly, I will treat all sick people. Go and stand in line."
This was the first time Prime Minister Lin, who was used to being flattered, had experienced such coldness.
But the person in front of her was Song Xizhi, who had married a living dead man and didn't care about the future of the Marquis's mansion.
Those who have nothing to lose are the least likely to offend, and can only be appeased. Although Prime Minister Lin was extremely anxious, he could only obediently hold Lin Miaoxin and stand at the very end of the line.
The crowd surged to Song Xizhi's side. Song Ruoan, who had been sitting blankly on the ground, finally came to her senses after a long while.
Song Ruo'an could only find it unbelievable that everyone around her was praising and flattering Song Xizhi.
She struggled to her feet and ran to He Yunze's side, grabbing his sleeve: "Husband, husband, what should we do now?"
"This was clearly your promotion banquet, but your sister won big and stole all the limelight. This shows that she really did it on purpose!"
Hearing the crying and commotion around him, He Yunze's scattered consciousness finally returned.
He glanced sharply at Song Ruoan's face, but remembering what had just happened, he immediately lowered his eyes and refused to look at her again.
He Yunze asked urgently, "Does Song Xizhi really know medicine? Did she learn medicine when she was in the Song family?"
Song Ruoan shook her head without hesitation: "Impossible. I don't know medicine, and my sister is even less so. She has been unruly since childhood and I have never heard of her studying medicine in the manor. She could not possibly know medicine."
Hearing this, He Yunze's suspicions deepened: "You're right. It's possible that all of this is Song Xizhi's conspiracy. There might be a doctor behind her so that she can reap the benefits."
"She's capable of doing something like that!"
He Yunze felt a bit cynical, thinking he had discovered the truth behind it all, but when he hurriedly stepped inside the screen...
I saw Song Xizhi's appearance at first glance.
With her hair as white as clouds, she sat calmly on the stool, her porcelain-white neck curved, her almond-shaped eyes lowered, her expression gentle and serene, as she concentrated intently on taking pulses, prescribing medicine, and administering acupuncture.
Physician Li was busy assisting her, beaming with joy, and seemed to be learning a great deal.
She was surrounded by a large group of patients.
This flower-viewing banquet was clearly a chaotic farce, yet everyone clung tightly to Song Xizhi, their eyes filled with reliance and trust.
The gentle autumn sunlight seemed to shine only on her, and her appearance brought peace to everyone's heart, like a bright pearl radiating a soft glow.
He Yunze stared at her profile, momentarily stunned, his body completely frozen in place.
Song Xizhi's appearance was something he had never seen in his past or present life, and it made him feel extremely unfamiliar with him.
He Yunze felt as if he were meeting this woman for the first time.
She was not the hysterical, promiscuous, exhausted, and anxious poisonous woman from her previous life.
She even bore a faint resemblance to Ruo'an in his memory.
What happened? Why did this happen?
When Song Ruoan rushed in, she saw He Yunze staring intently at Song Xizhi's face, looking completely absorbed.
A strange sense of tension welled up inside her. She grabbed He Yunce's hand urgently and pulled him sharply in front of her.
"Husband, what are you looking at? Didn't I tell you? My sister has never studied medicine since she was a child. Neither Father nor Mother knew anything about it. This is really suspicious."
Her words were overheard by Old Madam He, who was waiting nearby. Seeing the two of them doing nothing and showing no remorse, she felt a surge of anger.
"Song Ruoan, you've made such a grave mistake, why aren't you kneeling outside? What are you trying to do by running in here?"
Song Ruoan's eyelids twitched, and she took a step back, flustered.
But Old Madam He had no intention of letting her off the hook, and every word she spoke was filled with fury:
"When you were about to die, it was your sister who took care of your funeral arrangements, yet you were still jealous of her and said such things! If Xizhi didn't know medicine, then the entire Marquis of Anding's mansion would have been destroyed in your hands!"
Knowing that the toxins in her body had lessened and she felt refreshed, Madam Sun heard the commotion and stormed over, filled with righteous indignation.
"Although Madam He treated me, it doesn't mean I won't pursue this matter any further. Madam He, you must give us all an explanation for what happened today!"
