Su Lingyu turned pale after being rebuked, but still wanted to argue.
Su Lingwei ignored her and turned to Shen Qingtang apologetically, "Qingtang, I'm sorry, I made you waste your time."
Shen Qingtang shook her head and was about to go get another bowl of medicine when Su Lingwei suddenly clutched her chest and vomited a mouthful of black blood. She swayed and almost fell over.
"Second sister-in-law!" Shen Mingzhao quickly helped her up.
The surrounding area erupted in chaos. Lu Jiaojiao clapped her hands and laughed, "I told you her medicine was poisonous! Now she's getting her comeuppance!"
Grandma Pei frowned, her tone "worried": "What...what should we do? What if something happens to Miss Su..." but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
The officers also looked at Shen Qingtang warily. The head constable frowned and asked, "Miss Shen, what exactly is going on?"
Shen Qingtang remained calm, squatted down to check on Su Lingwei's condition, and then smelled the medicine on the ground.
He said in a deep voice, "This is not a poisoning attack. It's just that the medicine stimulated the toxins in her body, causing them to be temporarily expelled. It looks scary, but it's actually a good thing."
As she spoke, she took out an antidote pill from her spatial storage and fed it to Su Lingwei: "Take this, and you'll be stable soon."
After Su Lingwei took the pill, she indeed stopped vomiting blood, and her complexion gradually improved.
Seeing this scene, everyone's previous doubts instantly fell silent, and Lu Jiaojiao and Old Lady Pei's expressions became extremely ugly.
After taking the antidote, Su Lingwei felt a cool medicinal effect slide down her throat.
The tightness in my chest that I had been feeling earlier instantly disappeared, and even my breathing became much easier.
She looked down at her hands, which had been bluish-white for years due to toxins, and gradually regained some color; her face also changed from pale to rosy.
She no longer looked sickly.
She knew her body well; even the imperial physicians had previously asserted that there was no cure for her poison.
However, Shen Qingtang easily calmed him down after the great shock.
An indescribable gratitude welled up within her. She struggled to her feet, about to kneel before Shen Qingtang: "Qingtang, I can't thank you enough, I..."
"Don't be like this." Shen Qingtang quickly helped her up and gently shook her head. "There's no need to be so formal."
Su Lingwei glanced at Shen Mingzhao secretly, her face flushing slightly.
After calming Su Lingwei down, Shen Qingtang then channeled her inner energy into Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao in turn.
She helped them heal their damaged meridians. After she finished, she saw several herbs that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis growing in the snow outside the dilapidated temple, so she went out to pick them.
Lu Jiaojiao watched from the side, stomping her feet in anger and muttering curses under her breath: "You damned woman! What kind of lousy herbs are you picking? You should have poisoned them all! Then we could have a feast!"
Standing beside her, Lu's mother not only didn't stop her, but also patted Lu Jiaojiao's head with a face full of praise: "My Jiaojiao is so smart and clever, she knows who the bad guys are."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap suddenly rang out. Shen Qingtang had returned at some point.
He slapped Lu Jiaojiao across the face.
She staggered back two steps after being hit, and blood instantly trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"How dare you hit Jiaojiao!" Lu Jin instantly exploded, his eyes red as he was about to rush forward. "Shen Qingtang, you've gone too far!"
Lin Peirou screamed as well, rushing over to hug Lu Jiaojiao, tears instantly streaming down her face: "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, Auntie will stand up for you! Shen Qingtang, how dare you hit the child?!"
Shen Qingtang looked at them coldly, her tone icy: "She cursed my family to die, cursed me to poison everyone. Slapping her is too lenient. If I hear such nonsense again, it won't be as simple as a slap."
