Chapter 709
At that time, Qu Ling was with her parents, staying by Qu Dun's side.
Although Qu Dun's complexion had recovered, his lips were still bluish-purple, and he had not yet woken up.
Upon hearing footsteps, the Qu family turned around and saw that Madam Cheng and the people from the Yunnan Prince's Mansion had arrived, so they all quickly stood up.
Madam Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Is Young Master Qu alright?"
Mr. Qu gave a wry smile and shook his head.
The imperial physician just arrived, but his diagnosis was exactly the same as that of the Cheng family physician. This shows that even if Qu Dun can be saved, he will not be the same as before.
Qu's mother cried even more bitterly.
This son was the child she had finally given birth to after a long period of recuperation!
After raising her child with such difficulty, who knew that such a tragedy would strike and her only child would end up like this!
This is great! Those lowly women in the manor who have sons are going to be overjoyed!
Thinking of this, Qu's mother burst into tears.
Madam Cheng stepped forward, patted Qu's mother's hand, and then looked at Qu Ling: "Miss Qu, we have something we'd like to ask you."
Qu Ling subconsciously took two steps back.
Mr. Qu also said, "Madam Cheng, my son is still unconscious. What urgent matter could you possibly have that you can't ask us later?"
Qu's father was clearly dissatisfied.
But that's only natural. Their son is still in bed, and they're acting like they're accusing them. Who would be in a good mood in that situation?
Huo Shu said, "What we want to ask is related to the matter of poisoning Young Master Qu. If Lord Qu thinks this matter is unimportant, we can indeed talk about it later."
As soon as Huo Shu finished speaking, Qu's father's expression changed instantly: "What does the person who poisoned Dun'er have to do with Ling'er?"
These two are siblings with a very good relationship. He absolutely does not believe that Qu Ling was the one who poisoned Qu Dun.
"The one who poisoned us is someone else. We came here simply to find out where that person is."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qu Ling.
Qu Ling's face turned deathly pale. Meeting her father's gaze, she shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Father, I don't know, I really don't know!"
Mr. Qu frowned: "Then just say whatever you know! I remember that maid who was just beaten to death; she came with you!"
Qu Ling's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Her guilty conscience was so obvious that anyone could tell.
As a result, the Huo family was no longer in a hurry.
After all, the Huo family is only feeling lingering fear now. This blow didn't fall on Huo Zhao, but on Qu Dun.
Just moments ago, Qu's mother was still sobbing uncontrollably, but now she had rushed towards Qu Ling, demanding, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself! Explain yourself!"
Mr. Qu also looked at Qu Ling, his eyes sharp: "If you still care about your younger brother, then tell me everything you know!"
"Tell me, tell me now!"
Driven by her own parents, Qu Ling could only suffer defeat after defeat.
Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
"I really don't know..."
“Last night, Pearl came to me and said she wanted to dress up as my maid and come with me today.”
“I know who Pearl is after,” Qu Ling said, looking at Huo Zhao. “Wanwan and I are very close, so I thought that if I could stand up for her, it would be a way to fulfill our friendship, so I agreed.”
"I really don't know what happened after that!"
Before she could finish speaking, a heavy slap landed on her cheek.
Qu Ling turned her head blankly, looking at her mother who had hit her.
Mother Qu trembled slightly, barely able to stand, yet she still pointed at her and said, "All these years, I've taught you so much, and you've learned it all but nothing! You're so easily manipulated! If you were to get your just desserts, that would be one thing, but why drag Dun'er down with you!"
"Why didn't you become like this?!"
