After regaining his senses, Wei Zheng immediately retorted, "Grandpa! How can you believe her? She's a vicious woman. What if she wants to harm Yao Yao?"
"Shut up!" Old Master Wei interrupted him sharply. "Yao Yao is in such a state that delaying her will only make things more dangerous! If Shen Qingtang wanted to harm her, she wouldn't have reminded us earlier that she was under a spell. Rather than letting Yao Yao remain insane, I'd rather take the gamble!"
He turned to look at Shen Qingtang, his eyes resolute: "I'm counting on you."
Looking at the trusting look in Old Master Wei's eyes, Shen Qingtang put away her gun and nodded: "Don't worry, since I promised to save her, I won't let anything happen to her. However, the removal of the curse requires an absolutely quiet environment, and we also need to prepare some things. First, have someone help Miss Wei to a quiet room, and then prepare a basin of clean water and clean strips of cloth."
Old Master Wei immediately agreed and directed the servants to help Wei Yao into her room at the inn.
He then sent people to prepare the necessary items to remove the curse. Wei Zheng stood there, watching his grandfather's resolute back, then glancing at Shen Qingtang's calm profile. His heart was filled with conflict, but in the end, he didn't utter any more words of objection.
Although he did not believe Shen Qingtang.
But she couldn't bear to see her younger sister suffer. Shen Qingtang followed the others into the room, took out a calming pill, dissolved it in water, and fed it to Wei Yao.
Before long, Wei Yao's initial anxiety gradually subsided. She stopped screaming and struggling, but her eyes remained somewhat vacant as she obediently leaned against the headboard.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng became even more wary and rushed forward to stop Shen Qingtang: "What did you feed her again? I think you don't want to save her at all, you want to harm her!"
His voice was agitated, and his eyes were filled with worry for his sister.
They were completely unaware of how unreasonable their words were.
Lin Peirou immediately stepped forward, feigning weakness and helplessness, her voice trembling with tears: "Shen Qingtang, how could you do this? Miss Wei Yao is so innocent! Even if she accidentally offended you before, you can't joke with her life, can you? If anything happens to her, how will General Wei and Old Master Wei live?" As she spoke, she secretly wiped away her tears, appearing to be standing up for Wei Yao.
Looking at the chaos before them, Shen's parents felt helpless. They tugged at Shen Qingtang's sleeve and whispered, "Qingtang, why don't you just leave it alone? They don't even trust you. If something happens, they'll blame you. Even if something really happens to Wei Yao, it has nothing to do with us. If she dies, she dies. Don't cause yourself any trouble."
Shen's father was so angry that his face turned red, clearly disapproving of Wei Zheng and Lin Peirou's harassment.
Before they could finish speaking, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside the door. Old Master Shen and Old Master Wei had started arguing at some point.
Old Master Shen stood with his hands on his hips, his tone flaring with anger: "Old Wei! My granddaughter kindly saved your Yao Yao, and your son, on the other hand, keeps calling her a 'harmer.' What kind of behavior is this? If I had known you would be so ungrateful, I shouldn't have let Qing Tang meddle in our business in the first place!"
Grandpa Wei didn't back down either, frowning as he retorted, "Old Shen! I know you're protecting your granddaughter, but Yao Yao is my only granddaughter. How can I not worry? Wei Zheng is just too anxious; he wasn't deliberately targeting Qing Tang! Don't make things worse!"
The two already had a grudge against each other, and now they were arguing even more heatedly over this matter, neither willing to give in.
The atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Qingtang.
But Shen Qingtang remained unusually calm. She walked past Wei Zheng to Wei Yao's bedside, having already made up her mind.
She had to force the Gu worms out of Wei Yao's body. Firstly, it would save Wei Yao's life and restore her sanity; secondly, once Wei Yao was awake, she could make her confess who had given her the Gu worms.
To clear my name.
More importantly, judging from Wei Yao's reaction, the person who used the Gu poison is very likely related to the forces behind Xiaoping. Perhaps we can follow this clue and uncover an even bigger conspiracy.
She turned to Wei Zheng, her tone calm: "If you're really worried about your sister, then don't get in the way. I'm going to force the Gu out of her now. The process might be a little painful, but once the Gu worm comes out, she'll wake up. If you keep stopping her, and she dies from the Gu worm's attack, then you'll be the one who killed her with your own hands."
After saying that, Shen Qingtang didn't wait for Wei Zheng to react.
He took out the silver needles he had prepared earlier from his spatial storage and quickly inserted them into several acupoints on Wei Yao's body. Wei Yao's body trembled slightly, and her brows furrowed.
