For such arrogant people, you have to break their spines and pin them to the ground to make them change.
"Get up." Song Tangxue didn't want to make things difficult for him, after all, he wasn't the main character here, he was at most an accomplice.
Xu Wei remained kneeling on the ground as if he hadn't heard, and Song Tangxue asked in confusion, "Why are you still kneeling?"
"I want to become your disciple." Everyone in the room was startled by Xu's words.
“I am not very knowledgeable and have nothing to teach you.” Song Tangxue dared not accept this person as a disciple: “Besides, I am a disciple of Doctor Xie Ling, so it is inconvenient for me to take on disciples.”
Seeing that Song Tangxue's expression seemed genuine, Xu Wei stood up and leaned over to look at Wang Xin next to her. Wang Xin then moved away slightly.
Wang Jue watched Xu Wei's movements intently, fearing he might do something rash.
Xu Wei cautiously said, "I have a secret to tell you."
Having taken in Wang Jue's subtle movements, Song Tangxue vaguely guessed what it was and a cruel smile crept onto her face.
Wang Jue couldn't hear what Xu Wei said, and he was extremely anxious.
Song Tangxue's smiling gesture undoubtedly stirred up his suspicions.
"Xu Wei!" Wang Jue shouted sternly, "You failed to cure Father today and instead plunged him into even greater danger. Now you're going to Miss Song's side and spouting alarmist rumors?"
Lu Ting chimed in, "Do you think you can escape punishment by cultivating a good relationship with Miss Song?"
But the two of them both seemed like paper tigers with a guilty conscience.
"Hey, I don't like it when you say that." Xu Wei's face hardened. "I'm a human being, not a bodhisattva. If I could save everyone, what would the King of Hell be doing taking people?"
"Dr. Song's medical skills are superb, I admire him. Even the imperial physicians are helpless against this poison, General. I dared to try because I was mentally prepared." Xu Wei is still in the general's mansion, so he can only clear himself of the matter for now.
"Is that so?" Wang Jue raised his hand in a gloomy manner, and a sachet flashed from his sleeve. Xu Wei's expression immediately changed.
Song Tangxue looked at Wang Jue: "He's all bark and no bite. Are you threatening Xu Wei to make him a scapegoat to cover up your own misdeeds?"
She'd seen this kind of thing many times before.
Wang Jue stood up abruptly, pointing at Song Tangxue: "What are you talking about? What did I do? How dare you, an outsider, point fingers at the General's Mansion's family affairs?"
Madam Li's face turned cold: "Miss Song is the general's savior. How can you speak to her like that?"
As expected of an illegitimate child raised outside the home, he has no manners whatsoever, acting like a street thug who only knows how to use force to intimidate others.
"I didn't. It was Miss Song who started it by making things up." Wang Jue glanced at Xu Wei with a warning look, then turned to apologize to Madam Li with a smile.
"Stop pretending, I've seen your true colors all the time." Song Tangxue's thoughts drifted back to her past life, to the time when she lived in the shadow of her family.
His parents' favoritism and his sister's arrogance were all part of the Song family's schemes that led him to that predicament, where he was left helpless and could only eke out a living.
All of this originated from the Song family; she hated the scheming among their relatives the most.
The closest relatives should be the most trustworthy people in the world, but it was the Song family who destroyed this trust.
"Xu Wei, just tell me directly. Maybe there's still a chance to redeem yourself." Song Tangxue's eyes were clear and straightforward.
Thinking about the mistakes he had made, Wang Jue simply carried the bag conspicuously on his waist, as if afraid that Xu Wei wouldn't see it.
"You and Wang Jue have been in contact for a long time, haven't you?" Song Tangxue started the conversation, and once that was done, Xu Wei found it much easier to continue.
"Yes, I've been in contact with Wang Jue for a while now. He came to me today, gave me a lot of silver, and told me not to let the general get better." Xu Wei's words drove Wang Jue into madness.
"What are you saying, you old bastard! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Wang Jue stood up without regard for his manners and was about to rush towards Xu Wei.
Xu knew many of his secrets and absolutely could not let him continue talking.
"Stop Wang Jue." Wang Xin said coldly. The guards outside rushed in and grabbed Wang Jue tightly, making it impossible for him to move an inch. They glared at Xu Wei with eyes full of fury.
Xu Wei swallowed hard. He had also been involved in this matter, and although Song Tangxue had managed to turn the tide in the end, the general was no longer in danger.
To survive, we need to say something more.
"It's not just this matter; Wang Jue and Lu Ting have long had a private relationship!" Xu Wei decided to go all the way since he had already offended Wang Jue to death.
Lu Ting, the aunt who was close to Wang Jue, was a ticking time bomb.
Wang Jue's heart sank, and he turned around and knelt down: "Father, you are wise! This was all fabricated by Xu Wei to exonerate himself!"
Lu Ting, his face pale, knelt by the bed and said, "General, you know me. Ting'er would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts."
Xu Wei's words threw the room into chaos, and Wang Xin was too busy helping Madam Li to attend to Song Tangxue.
"I have some letters between the two of them that they exchanged in secret. I'm sure the general will recognize them." Xu Wei actually had the idea of leaving himself a way out, so he took these letters with him when he went out.
At the time, I never imagined that I would actually need to use it.
The general coughed angrily, his finger trembling as he pointed at the kneeling crowd: "What else are you hiding from me!"
Madam Li took the letter and, after reading it, understood the gist of it.
General Wang had been with her for many years and knew what lay behind Madam Li's expression. He was so angry that he picked up the only wooden pillow on the bed that he could throw away.
It hit Wang Jue on the head, and Wang Jue's mind went blank. But he didn't dare to dodge and stubbornly refused to admit it: "Father, I am innocent! This is all Xu Wei's slander against me!"
Blood gushed from the head struck by the wooden pillow, dripping down the forehead and staining the face—a truly horrifying sight.
Song Tangxue clicked her tongue lightly; the noise over there was too much to handle right now.
He picked up his pen and wrote down the prescription and instructions for use and dosage. After putting down the pen, Wang Jue was kneeling with Lu Ting, crying incessantly.
He placed the prescription in a conspicuous spot on the table and prepared to leave.
"Guards!" The general, seeing this farce, slowly looked at everyone in the room, fearing that if word got out, he would lose face.
The nurses immediately stood in front of the bed.
"Arrest this unfilial son and this whore!"
Wang Jue's eyes widened, tears mingling with blood as he kowtowed, the sound echoing: "Father, I was wrong, I was just momentarily bewitched, she seduced me."
Song Tangxue was drawn to the dogfight, while Lu Ting stared in astonishment at the person who had been sweet-talking her yesterday, now turning against her.
"You were the one who contacted me first and used me to get back to the General's Mansion. Otherwise, how could a bastard like you have caught the General's eye!" Lu Ting questioned him shrilly, since they were both going to die anyway.
