Grand Tutor Song and Song Donghao rushed anxiously to Song Lingshi.
Su Liluo then picked up the bowl and took out a thin silver needle, inserting it into Song Lingshi's brow.
Song Lingshi gradually calmed down, and the pain subsided, but when he looked up, his eyes were still bloodshot.
"The mother Gu is in Madam Song."
Su Liluo said without any surprise, then looked at Madam Song, whose face was deathly pale.
"No, no, I... I didn't know it would turn out like this. This... someone is trying to harm me! Someone wants to hurt me!"
Madam Song explained hastily.
When Grand Tutor Song heard the sound, he slowly came to his senses, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked at Su Liluo and asked, "Is it really inside my wife's body?"
Su Liluo nodded.
"Father, Mother must have been framed. She had no idea she had a mother Gu in her body. Someone must have secretly planted it inside her, just like my eldest brother. He didn't know he had a Gu in his body either!"
The second young master of Song hurriedly defended Madam Song.
"Yes, sir, there must be a traitor in the manor. They must be using this to kill Ling Shi and me!"
Madam Song also explained in accordance with her own son's words.
Listening to their explanation, Grand Tutor Song frowned, pondering the reason for this matter, just as he was about to believe their words.
Su Liluo severed his trust.
"A person carrying the mother Gu can control the child Gu. If the person carrying the mother Gu does not induce the child Gu to fall into a coma, then the person who is infected with the child Gu will not develop the disease."
The clear explanation fell like a jade stone, and everyone heard it perfectly.
At this point, how could Grand Tutor Song not understand anything?
Meanwhile, no one noticed that the old doctor from Sichuan was secretly moving his body, intending to escape, while no one was paying attention.
The old doctor never expected that he would be caught by someone who jumped out of nowhere as soon as he escaped from the doorway.
"Your Highness, this man is trying to escape!"
Su Liluo's guards grabbed the old doctor and brought him in front of her, saying...
Everyone then looked at the old man.
"Tie him up!"
Su Liluo glanced at it and said coldly.
"Please, Your Highness, spare this old man! I know how to cure this curse. I can save Young Master Song. I only beg Your Highness not to kill me!"
By this time, the old man, having observed for so long, had already discerned Su Liluo's assertive and decisive way of handling things.
Even if I don't confess, she'll interrogate me later to see if I do, so I might as well just confess and maybe save my life.
I agreed to do this just to make money. What's the use of money if you're dead?
He just wanted to survive.
"Guards, kill him! He must have poisoned Mother and my elder brother!"
When the Second Young Master Song saw that the divine physician had compromised so quickly, fearing that he would reveal his identity, he immediately ordered his men to kill him.
Su Liluo naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
Just as the guards of the Second Young Master Song were about to step forward, they were stopped by Su Liluo's secret guards.
"Young Master Song, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you hear him say he can cure the curse? If you kill him, who will save your elder brother?"
As Su Liluo's cold words fell, Grand Tutor Song and the others looked at the Second Young Master Song with astonishment and disappointment.
"Guards, seize the Second Young Master!"
Grand Tutor Song closed his eyes in pain, then coldly ordered his servants.
Soon, both the second young master of the Song family and his wife were brought under control.
Su Liluo knew that Grand Tutor Song was heartbroken that his second son and wife had done such a thing, but she still had to reveal the truth.
She walked up to the old doctor and asked, "Who told you to do this? What is your plan? I'm giving you a chance to explain, or else—"
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Seeing Su Liluo's cold gaze, the old doctor quickly interrupted her and then explained everything.
The old man was originally a shaman from Sichuan. A few years ago, a disaster struck his hometown, and he fled to the capital, where he met the Second Young Master Song.
The Second Young Master Song accidentally discovered his skills and kept him under his wing, allowing him to poison Song Lingshi, resulting in Song Lingshi becoming crippled in both legs.
But at first, the Second Young Master Song did not want Song Lingshi's life; he only wanted to ruin his future.
But just as the Crown Princess was about to save Song Lingshi's leg, the Second Young Master Song panicked, feeling that he had to eliminate the threat completely.
As long as a person is alive, there is always hope.
Therefore, this time he made himself use a more potent poison, enough to kill Song Lingshi, but without anyone noticing.
So he suggested using a curse.
After hearing the old doctor's confession, Grand Tutor Song was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He took a step forward and slapped the second young master of the Song family hard across the face.
"You unfilial son! You even tried to harm your elder brother! You truly have the heart of a wolf!"
The second young master of the Song family had blood drawn from the corner of his mouth and a red handprint on his face.
After the pain subsided, he looked at Grand Tutor Song with a fierce gaze.
She spoke with resentment: "Isn't this all because of you! My mother has worked so hard to manage the household for you, and I've always tried my best, but you only have eyes for my eldest brother!"
I am also your son, why should you hand over the entire family business to my elder brother to manage! All the shops and assets in the family have been able to make a steady stream of money thanks to my mother's care.
"But what right do you have to take all of this away from my mother just because my elder brother is getting married? My talent is no less than my elder brother's, so why did you only recommend him for the Ministry of Personnel?"
When the Second Young Master Song realized that his secret had been exposed, he decided to stop pretending and immediately voiced all his grievances and dissatisfaction.
