It's been more than half a month since then, and I'm only now realizing that my reaction time is inadequate.
Jin Shangyue smiled faintly, a hint of mockery and wickedness flashing in her eyes.
His gaze swept towards Yu Shiwei almost imperceptibly.
When she added something to Xue Yirou's story, she also added something to Yu Shiwei's story.
After all, not only Xue Yirou had given her a gift when they first met, but Yu Shiwei had also given her a gift in advance, so she naturally wouldn't show favoritism.
Of course, we should send a return gift to both of them.
Xue Yirou gave her medicine, intending for her to decay and die within three months without anyone noticing.
As soon as the drug was administered, she discovered it.
Xue Yirou only discovered the poisoning half a month after taking the Chinese medicine. It's unknown whether the other party has the ability to detoxify within three months.
Otherwise, in three months, she would probably have to attend the funerals of the Yu family's matriarch and the fake heiress.
Jin Shangyue was in a good mood and ate another big bite of the plump and juicy meat of the Lingtian crab.
Mmm, it smells delicious!
Meanwhile, the Yu family was still astonished by Xue Yirou's sudden loss of cultivation.
Old Master Yu frowned, his face solemn, and said, "Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly!"
"To dare to poison the matriarch of our Yu family is utterly disrespectful! This is a blatant provocation!"
When Song Mingying saw the family doctor come over and examine Xue Yirou's finger injury, she found it to be the same as what Yu Shiwei had described.
For standard treatment, surgery is required.
Of course, the Yu family is not an ordinary family, so they don't need to follow the usual medical treatment.
Just two or three doses of a healing medicine with restorative effects are enough to heal Xue Yirou's finger injury.
Song Mingying said to Manager Li, "Have someone go to the pharmacy to get two vials of high-grade repair medicine. You should personally go and invite Doctor Lin Tian over."
"Explain Yi Rou's condition to Doctor Lin, and the compensation will be negotiable."
Steward Li thought that Lin Shanwu had been staying at the Yu family's residence and in Miss Yue's courtyard all this time.
But he had heard that since moving to Miss Yue's guest house, Physician Lin had been staying at home and seemed to be in seclusion.
Lin Tianyi didn't come out to join in the fun at Miss Yue's banquet today; it seems he was difficult to invite her.
But Steward Li didn't say much; whether it would work or not, they still had to go and ask.
Yu Weilan is not a man who enjoys romance and poetry. On the contrary, he is an ambitious man with a strong sense of career. Ninety-nine percent of his thoughts and feelings are occupied by his career and family.
The reason he married Xue Yirou was because he had reached marriageable age and, as the eldest son, bore the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Yu family's legacy. Naturally, he had to follow the proper path, find a suitable daughter from a similar social class to marry, and start a family together.
It just so happened that the triennial World Alliance Conference was held in the Dragon Martial Empire at that time, which is when he met Xue Yirou.
Xue Yirou's proactive pursuit, coupled with her status, certainly made her a suitable match for the young master of the Yu family.
Xue Yirou herself was outstanding in both appearance and talent. After careful consideration, Yu Weilan finally married her.
For thirty years of marriage, Yu Weilan gave Xue Yirou enough respect and care, doing everything a husband should do.
But it lacked any romantic sentimentality or sweet words.
When the two are together, it's more like the peaceful, uneventful life of an old married couple.
So seeing Xue Yirou like this, Yu Weilan didn't seem anxious or lose his composure.
Instead, he calmly used external force to help Xue Yirou calm down, using his Yuan energy to soothe her mind and then calmly and rationally analyze the situation.
"Yi Rou, calm down first. When Doctor Lin arrives, let him take a look at the specific situation."
"Perhaps this is only temporary, and you need to think carefully about whether you have encountered anything unusual or met any strange people during this period."
“We also need to investigate the people who serve us one by one to see if there are any spies or if they have been bribed.”
After saying that, Yu Weilan looked at Yu Shiwei and said, "Shiwei, you have studied medicine. Take a good look at your godmother and see if you can figure out anything."
Yu Shiwei had been interested in medicine since childhood. When he was eight years old, Xue Yirou used her connections to get Yu Shiwei to become the apprentice of the Third Elder of the Immortal Physician Sect.
The Third Elder stayed in the Dragon Martial Empire for five years to teach Xue Yirou, and then took Yu Shiwei on a three-year trip.
Later, the Third Elder parted ways with Yu Shiwei and returned to the Immortal Physician Sect.
The entire capital city knows that Yu Shiwei, the daughter of the Yu family, is not only talented in cultivation but also stands out among her peers.
He is also a highly talented medical practitioner. After studying medicine for eight years, he has already become a qualified earth doctor.
Moreover, in the last six months, there have been subtle signs of a breakthrough.
These were originally Yu Shiwei's assets, but once Jin Shangyue returned, all of her strengths, talents, and special skills were completely crushed.
Faced with Yu Weilan's indifference, Yu Shiwei lowered his eyes and nodded obediently.
Then she carefully diagnosed Xue Yirou. She was also very curious and shocked that Xue Yirou had suddenly lost all her cultivation.
After the diagnosis, Yu Shiwei frowned, her heart filled with turmoil and a sense of wary fear.
She couldn't tell that anything was wrong with her adoptive mother's health...
There were no signs of poisoning, no other injuries, and nothing strange about it.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Xue Yirou's cultivation has dissipated and has indeed completely disappeared.
Not only was his dantian barren and empty, but even his meridians and bones seemed to be gradually withering away.
The life force within Xue Yirou's body also seemed to be slowly draining away...
This discovery shocked Yu Shiwei, who immediately became even more serious.
