The old lady was his great-grandmother after all. This child was actually kind and loyal, unlike his scumbag father or Liu Yun'er. He was completely different from his previous life. She was reborn, and finally had something to be happy about.
Xie Wanyun sighed quietly.
"Brother Quan, listen to me. Everyone is destined to die from the moment they are born, some earlier, some later. The old lady is old, and even if she had an accident, it can't be changed. No matter how painful it is for the living, they have to accept reality. Do you understand?"
Xie Wanyun tried her best to explain to the child.
Quan Ge'er seemed to understand, but he trusted Xie Wanyun wholeheartedly and nodded heavily.
"Go back to your room first. I'll send someone to tell you when there's news. Also, I haven't come to see you these days. Have you fallen behind in your studies? Jin Bai and the others are waiting to compete with you." Xie Wanyun wanted to divert the child's attention.
Quan Ge'er was indeed a little happier and said, "I miss them too. I packed my things that day and wanted to move to Mu Garden, but my mother wouldn't let me go. Madam, please come and pick me up, so my mother can't stop me."
"Okay, I promise you." Xie Wanyun really hated Liu Yun'er. She was sarcastic, selfish, cold-hearted, scheming, and calculating. Apart from her pretty face, she had no advantages at all.
In his previous life, Brother Quan followed her and learned all her virtues.
Quan Ge'er obediently returned to Nong Yu Hall. Xie Wanyun entered the room and saw that Old Madam Qin was barely breathing, yet she refused to die. After a moment's thought, she reached out and took her pulse.
"Sparrow pecking at the pulse!" Xie Wanyun was secretly surprised! The pulse was like a bird pecking at food, a sign of poisoning. Who was it? Who poisoned the old lady?
If she could tell the diagnosis with her basic medical knowledge, how could an experienced doctor not be able to do so? Her eyes swept across the faces of the people present one by one.
Wei's eyes were red from crying, her face streaked with tears. Qin Su'an, though selfish and greedy, was genuinely upset. As for Liu Yun'er, her gaze shifted, occasionally exchanging glances with Wei Mingyue. Thinking back to their actions, Xie Wanyun felt a surge of suspicion.
She turned to Wei and said, "Madam, first make some ginseng soup for the old lady, and then find another famous doctor."
Wei was stunned. Given Xie Wanyun's attitude towards them, shouldn't she be applauding the old lady's current situation? Instead, she was still concerned about her. However, she was at a loss for words and could only order the maid to do as she was told.
Liu Yun'er and Wei Mingyue looked at each other, looking a little anxious, but didn't dare to say anything.
Xie Wanyun observed their reactions. She wasn't doing this to save anyone, and she wouldn't show any kindness to the Qin family. It was simply that if Old Madam Qin died, it would satisfy the poisoner. Furthermore, this was a plot that hadn't occurred in her previous life, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, she went straight to the Imperial City Office to find Zhang Mingzhen. She first told him that Yan Suizhi had promised to process the customs clearance documents for her as soon as possible, and then recounted what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion today.
Zhang Mingzhen was also surprised. "Madam, do you suspect someone poisoned Madam Qin? But if the owner of the inner house doesn't report the case, the Imperial City Bureau has no right to investigate."
Xie Wanyun said helplessly, "That's why I came to you! This matter cannot be made public, it must be investigated secretly."
Zhang Mingzhen nodded. "I understand. Please rest assured, Madam. I will find out the truth as soon as possible. Also, I've heard that the Mobei region is preparing for war, and I'm afraid war is imminent. So if you want to go, Madam, you should do it as soon as possible, otherwise things might get out of hand."
Xie Wanyun naturally knew this. That was why she was so anxious to find Yan Suizhi to apply for a pass. But hearing Zhang Mingzhen say it himself, she still felt anxious. Seeing that it was getting late, she thought she would go to Yan Suizhi to ask tomorrow.
The next morning, Xie Wanyun went to the Yan Mansion again. Yan Suizhi had already gone to court. Jin Bai was so happy to see her that she beamed. She rushed over and hugged her, "Aunt Xie! Are you here to pick me up? I was thinking of going to Mu Garden after breakfast!"
