In the elegant courtyard, thick blood spread on the ground. Jiang Kang'an was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and the imperial physician was taking his pulse.
The smell of blood was too strong in the room. Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Jianjin stood at the door, covering their noses with their hands and looking disgusted. Jiang Zhaorong stood blankly by the bed, his eyes helpless.
How could this happen? Hadn't the young fish been cured? Could Kang An still survive with so much blood?
Jiang Zhaorong's eyes were red and he was about to cry.
Xu Youran and Jiang Sulan hurried over: "What's going on? How's Kang An?!"
When Old Lady Jiang saw Xu Youran, the memory of her son forcibly taking away her account books and rosters flooded back to her mind. She snorted softly, pointed at her nose and cursed, "Kang An has such a miserable life. How could he have such a mother like you? He just got his leg healed and couldn't be without someone, and yet you're taking two girls to a flower viewing banquet?!"
Jiang Jianjin also echoed, "That's right. The flower viewing banquet at the Shangshu Mansion ended early, but my sister-in-law hasn't returned yet. I don't know what's holding her back. But you, as a grandmother, rushed over when you heard that Kang An was in trouble. You barely ate a bite of dinner."
These words made the old lady feel at ease, and she looked at Xu Youran with a look of pride.
The two of them were sarcastic and mocking each other. Xu Youran was worried about Jiang Kang'an lying on the bed and had no intention of paying attention to him, but Jiang Sulan couldn't stand it anymore.
After spending the past few days with her sister, Jiang Sulan has also learned some of her temperament.
If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will cut the root of the problem.
"Grandma is worried about my brother, so why don't you go in and check on him instead of standing here? Besides, you don't seem to be in a hurry to get dressed."
Old Madam Jiang's blood boiled, and her breathing quickened. "How dare you, a junior, speak to an elder like that? How did you get educated? You're such an uneducated person! You're not even half as good as Shi Wei!"
Jiang Sulan was tired of hearing this kind of talk.
It’s just that Old Lady Jiang usually spoke to Zhiyu, but today it was her turn.
Jiang Sulan looked at them with mocking smiles. She was obviously supported by Jiang Zhaorong, but she still openly despised their family. This so-called blood relationship was worthless!
"Song Shiwei, whom you say is a thousand times better than me, is now waiting to be punished in the Dali Temple!" Jiang Sulan met the old lady's incredulous gaze with a smile: "She conspired with the maid to kill the servant who had served the Shangshu's third son since childhood. She is so cruel, even if she gets married, she will be divorced within a year."
She responded to Jiang Zhiyu exactly as the old lady had said to her before.
Old Mrs. Jiang's eyelids twitched wildly with anger.
But before she could say anything, Jiang Zhaorong in the room spoke first: "What?"
Jiang Sulan still has a filter for her father. Although he favors Song Shiwei, he also loves his children in his heart.
She put away the anger she had shown towards Old Madam Jiang and said respectfully, "Song Shiwei and Yunshu discovered the Third Young Master's secret. Not only did they conspire to kill the servant, they also intended to set fire to the body to destroy the evidence. After being exposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they were sent to the Dali Temple and each was given fifty lashes of the cane. The Shangshu's wife personally witnessed the ceremony."
Jiang Zhaorong heard every word clearly, but after putting them together, he still couldn't believe it.
Murder, arson, and the destruction of bodies? Was this really done by Shi Wei, the one he had watched grow up and whom he cared about more than his own daughter?
Jiang Zhaorong was in a state of confusion for a moment.
Jiang Kang'an on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. The imperial physician who was taking his pulse felt relieved. As he withdrew his hand, Jiang Kang'an spat a mouthful of black blood on him. The imperial physician quickly stood up and took several steps back.
The smell of blood filled the air again. Xu Youran looked at the blood he vomited and felt like she was hit on the head. She collapsed. Jiang Sulan and the maids in the yard were so scared that they burst into tears. The imperial physician hurriedly asked the maids to pinch her philtrum.
Jiang Zhaorong looked distraught, his lips trembling, but he didn't ask anything.
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the eldest son is not going to make it... Your Majesty, please pack up and prepare... for his funeral."
Xu Youran, who had just woken up, burst into tears when she heard these words, and Jiang Sulan couldn't stop the tears on her face.
Old Mrs. Jiang's body swayed and was supported by Jiang Jianjin.
Even if she didn't like him, he was still her own grandson. A few tears flowed from the corners of Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes. Jiang Jianjin comforted her, but he felt quite relieved in his heart.
It’s better for him to die. A useless person has occupied such a nice yard for so many years. When he dies, Brother Heng can get the yard by just begging the old lady.
The yard was filled with crying sounds, and at this moment, a cloud of smoke slowly came over.
"What are you arguing about! The patient needs to rest, what are you all doing gathered together?"
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, the smoke drifted to Jiang Kang'an's bedside, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then threw in a pill.
Several people stood there in a daze. The imperial physician frowned and asked, "Who is this?"
Yan Wu sneered, "Do you think you're worthy enough to know my name?"
[So chuunibyou, so pretentious, I love it! ]
Jiang Zhaorong: “…”
Xu Youran: “…”
Jiang Sulan: “…”
They all forgot that she had this identity!
When she just came over, Jiang Zhiyu just said that she had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. Because she had eaten too much on the way, Xu Youran was very worried about Jiang Kangan and did not suspect anything.
Now it seems that he is clearly going to change his identity.
But what about this cloud of smoke?
The imperial physician's hands were shaking with anger. He was specially authorized by the emperor to come to the prime minister's residence to treat Jiang Kang'an's injuries.
Over the years, who hadn't bowed respectfully to him when seeing him? And now, this half-human, half-ghost creature actually said he was unworthy?
The imperial physician snorted coldly, "Were you the one who treated the eldest young master's leg a few days ago?"
Jiang Zhaorong and Xu Youran's faces darkened at the same time. After repeated warnings, was it still impossible to prevent it?
"So what?"
"No wonder," the imperial physician bowed to Jiang Zhaorong. "Your Majesty, this person's origins are unknown. The Imperial Hospital has been researching for years but has yet to find a method to repair broken meridians. How did this person do it? Moreover, when I took the eldest son's pulse, I found it was extremely weak, and his tongue was coated with blue, suggesting poisoning."
"I implore the Prime Minister to report this to the authorities and have this man apprehended."
Jiang Zhiyu sneered, "What? Just because you haven't done it in years, you conclude that others can't do it? What a lie."
"This..." The imperial physician was speechless.
"Let me ask you, besides the leg injury, does the eldest master have any other injuries?"
"No."
The imperial physician answered with certainty.
[Ha, he's a bribed villain indeed! Not only did he ignore the poison in Big Brother's body, he was also secretly poisoning him!]
What? Jiang Zhaorong's eyes widened.
The imperial physician poisoned his own son?!
"You're truly a fame-seeker. The eldest young master has over a dozen poisons in his body, and you haven't detected a single one? And you're the imperial physician?"
The ridicule in his tone made the doctor take a few steps back.
His eyes were also full of shock.
A dozen or so? Aren't there only five?
Could it be that he is really a miracle doctor?!
