Chapter 55: Jiang Guiyu must pay the price
Jiang Guiyu didn't sleep well that night.
In the second half of the night, she finally fell asleep, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain all over her body, especially her feet, which felt like ants gnawing at her bones and it was excruciatingly painful.
She was so scared that she wanted to turn over and sit up, but she found that not only were her limbs sore and weak that she couldn't move, but she also lost her voice.
It was just like that day when Jiang Qingyue gave her a few injections, leaving her speechless.
Jiang Qingyue, it must be Jiang Qingyue who poisoned her!
Sure enough, she knew that the woman had bad intentions.
The pain extended from the soles of the feet to all parts of the body, and even reached the throat.
Jiang Guiyu was speechless and could only lie on the bed, gasping for breath, his eyes swollen from crying.
After finally waiting until dawn, Jiang Guiyu finally burst into tears when he heard Cuizhu waiting outside with light footsteps.
"Miss!"
Cuizhu ran in and saw Jiang Guiyu kicking away the quilt and lying there with nothing covering him.
She touched her inner clothes and found them cold. She didn't know how long the quilt had been kicked away.
If there weren't a few charcoal braziers in the house, I would definitely be sick after such a cold night.
"Miss, are you having a nightmare?"
Cuizhu hurriedly covered her with a quilt.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Guiyu screamed in pain, and Cuizhu was so scared that she let go immediately.
Jiang Guiyu regained some strength, lifted the quilt, and saw that his originally fair and round feet were now covered with blisters, some of which were broken and festering.
“Ahhh…”
Cuizhu was so scared that her face turned pale.
Jiang Guiyu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak clearly, and his voice was trembling.
"Go call my parents, go quickly!"
Jiang Shouye had gone to court a long time ago and had not returned yet, so Cuizhu could only invite Mrs. Jiang over first.
"Return Jade!"
Mrs. Jiang just stepped in and saw Jiang Guiyu like this, she was so distressed that she wiped away her tears.
"Mom, it hurts."
As soon as Mrs. Jiang touched her hand, she was startled by its coldness.
"How are you going to take care of Guiyu, girl? Are you going to let my daughter freeze to death?"
Cuizhu knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, "I have been guarding outside all night, but the young lady slept very well that night, and she didn't even cough once.
I didn't dare to disturb the young lady, so I didn't come in to check..."
"How dare you quibble!"
Jiang Guiyu felt aggrieved and started crying while pulling Mrs. Jiang.
"Mom, I'm in so much pain. Find a doctor quickly, my feet hurt so much."
"Did you catch a cold during the night?"
Mrs. Jiang was massaging her feet, but just as she touched them, Jiang Guiyu let out a shrill scream, which frightened Mrs. Jiang so much that she immediately withdrew her hand.
She looked down and saw that Jiang Guiyu's feet were covered with ulcers, and the fingers she had just touched were wet and sticky with dirt.
Mrs. Jiang stood up suddenly and wiped her hands with a handkerchief in panic.
Jiang Guiyu was lying on the edge of the bed in so much pain, looking like he was dying.
"Mom, my feet hurt so much! It's Jiang Qingyue. I wore the shoes she gave me yesterday, and my feet hurt all night. When I woke up this morning, they were like this!"
She didn't dare to make it public yesterday because there was really nothing wrong with her body.
But now, she was almost certain that it was Jiang Qingyue who poisoned the shoes.
Madam Jiang's heart sank. She turned around and angrily shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Call the court doctor right away. Also, call Jiang Qingyue over!"
But when the court physician arrived and examined the patient, he found that there was nothing wrong with the patient's pulse, and he could not find any cause for the ulcer on the foot.
Mrs. Jiang was so anxious that she turned around and around. "It's already rotten like this, how can you say there is no problem?"
The servant brought Jiang Qingyue in late, and just as they entered the room, Mrs. Jiang was about to slap them.
"I thought you finally figured it out and that the sisters were getting along, but I didn't expect you to be such a biting dog. Did you poison my shoes?"
"How can you be so vicious!"
Jiang Qingyue was prepared and turned her body to the side, so Mrs. Jiang's action was in vain.
"What are you talking about, Madam? You touched those shoes yesterday, and so did Mr. Jiang. How come she was the only one to be poisoned?"
Jiang Qingyue turned to the court physician and asked, "Excuse me, doctor, is the Second Young Miss poisoned?"
Although the palace doctor was new, he was well aware of the grudges within the family.
He just wants to make a living and doesn't want to offend anyone.
"My skills are not good enough, and I can't tell whether the second young lady is poisoned or not."
This statement is absolutely flawless.
"Gui Yu's feet are already like this, what else is there to test?"
Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale, but she had no other choice but to call out to Jiang Qingyue, "Why don't you come and show Gui Yu!"
Jiang Qingyue took a step back and lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Since Madam and the Second Miss have said that I poisoned her, I will go and see the Second Miss again, and then she will say that I was the one who did it.
Madam, you don't trust me, so why not invite a few more doctors? I'm sure someone will be able to detect the poison."
Mrs. Jiang was annoyed by such a cold and distant address, but at the same time, she also felt powerless.
Everything was fine yesterday, why did it become like this today?
She gave orders, asking the servants to call for more doctors!
If it really doesn't work, wait for the master to come back and see if we can ask a royal physician from the palace to come back.
Jiang Shouye returned home after court, and rushed over immediately after hearing that Jiang Guiyu was poisoned.
But three or four doctors were consulted one after another, and they all shook their heads and said there was no sign of poisoning, but they could not explain the cause of Jiang Guiyu's pain.
Jiang Shouye was intimidating without getting angry. "Where are those shoes?"
Cuizhu knelt down and rested her forehead on the ground. "I have already thrown away those shoes."
Jiang Qingyue, who was standing beside her, raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Threw it away? Does the Second Miss not like the gift I gave her, or does she hate me?"
Cuizhu was kneeling on the ground, stammering and unable to speak.
Jiang Shouye slammed the table loudly.
"You bastard! Go get it back!"
When Cuizhu found the shoes, several doctors checked them carefully and found nothing wrong with them.
Jiang Guiyu gnashed his teeth in pain, "But how do I explain these... these injuries? I don't know how I offended Sister Qingyue, why do you hate me so much?"
Jiang Qingyue shook her head, her expression cold. "Second Miss said I poisoned you, but there's no poison on your body or in your shoes. I don't know how I offended you, Second Miss, to accuse me and slander me like this without any basis."
Her bright eyes looked at Jiang Guiyu solemnly, and the corners of her lips were pursed in an obscure arc.
"You are the only one who knows where this injury came from."
The doctors looked at each other, already having guesses in their minds.
I heard that the Jiang family took their biological daughter back, but their adopted daughter has been staying at home.
This is because he was reluctant to let go of the Jiang family's wealth and glory, so he came up with this method to frame the Jiang family's biological daughter.
It's really not presentable.
Jiang Guiyu was unable to defend herself and burst into tears in anxiety.
She was really in pain and felt really wronged.
Mrs. Jiang hugged Jiang Guiyu, her eyes full of resentment.
"Alright Qingyue, Guiyu is already like this, why are you still saying this in front of outsiders?"
“That’s enough!”
Jiang Shouye shouted angrily, sent the doctors away, and then he slammed the table loudly.
"Again and again, and it never ends?"
Jiang Guiyu was shocked and turned around and threw himself into Mrs. Jiang's arms.
"Master, this injury is obvious, how can it be faked?"
"What about the poison?"
Jiang Shouye glanced at the mother and daughter coldly, "The shoes have been tested, the body has been tested, where is the poison?
You and I both touched these shoes yesterday, how come we are fine and she is the only one who is hurt?"
Mrs. Jiang wanted to defend her daughter, "But she's the only one who wore it."
That's why the pain is on the soles of my feet.
"So many doctors have examined you, and the court physician has even resigned. What else do you have to say?"
Mrs. Jiang was so stunned that she was speechless.
Jiang Qingyue curled the corners of her lips slightly.
She did put poison, but it wasn't on the shoes.
Poisoning shoes and leaving evidence is so stupid.
Que'er's soles were pierced by sixteen needles, and she returned them all, letting Jiang Guiyu experience the pain of foot ulcers that was several times more painful than acupuncture!
