"No, I..."
Madam Shuiyue wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Che left with a sullen face, hugging Shen Qingqing.
As for Madam Shuiyue, he ordered the guards to stop her and beat her up if she followed him.
"Qingqing, you can't do this!"
"Why are you so selfish? Mom worked so hard to raise you, but why are you so selfish?"
Being stopped and unable to move forward, Madam Shuiyue could only watch Shen Qingqing's departing back and cried, "Why can't you save mother?"
Qinxiang Tower is a place for enjoying music. The best player here is Miss Lingyin. Miss Lingyin only plays once every few days. Today is her performance time, so Qinxiang Tower is crowded with people.
The commotion here had already attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"Qingqing? Is she Shen Qingqing, the adopted daughter of the Bai family?"
"It seems so. I know that woman. She seems to be Mrs. Shuiyue, the adopted sister of Patriarch Bai."
"Yes, I know, she is Madam Shuiyue."
"I'm telling you, Shen Qingqing is an ungrateful person. The Bai family treated her so well and even raised her, yet she tried to murder Miss Bai time and again, and even got Madam Shuiyue kicked out with her.
I heard that Shen Qingqing was disfigured. In order to heal her face, Madam Shuiyue knelt at the Bai family for several days and begged for mercy. In the end, Miss Bai was kind enough to buy the beauty pill and gave it to her. Unfortunately, on the way, Madam Shuiyue was bitten by a poisonous spider. Fortunately, Miss Bai was worried and sent someone to follow her, which saved her life.
"But what's going on now?"
Everyone was confused. Wasn't Madam Shuiyue poisoned? Why was she here?
"I didn't expect your daughter to be so selfish!"
A low, hoarse voice came from the second floor. A man in a black cloak stood on the steps, looking down at Madam Shuiyue, and said:
"You were bitten by a red-eyed vine spider. This vine spider is poisonous, but the antidote is very simple. You need to use three medicinal herbs: the spider's heart and three drops of blood from the fingertips of your closest person to make a pill and take it.
But your daughter won’t even give you three drops of blood from her fingertips. If your mother treats you like this, there’s no point in you living anymore.”
"No, Qingqing won't do that, I'm her mother.
How could she not even give me three drops of blood from her fingertips? She wouldn't do that. She is my most beloved daughter."
Madam Shuiyue shook her head but tears kept falling, then she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You've been poisoned for three days. The poison has already entered your heart and lungs. If you don't take the antidote, there will be no cure. You will vomit blood and die. It's a pity that your daughter doesn't want to save you. She just wants you to die."
"No…"
Madam Shuiyue was trembling, her body was weak and she slowly fell to the ground.
Blood kept spurting out of his mouth, and he kept muttering, "No, no, Qingqing wouldn't do this. How could she do this to me? No."
Blood mixed with tears and Madam Shuiyue couldn't even sit still. She fell to the ground and crawled out.
"Qingqing, my most proud daughter.
She once said that when she grew up she would become the most powerful swordsman, buy me the biggest courtyard, hire the best maids to serve me, and give me the most precious treasures. How could such a good daughter be so reluctant to give away even three drops of her fingertip blood?
Madam Shuiyue was spitting blood and crying, her voice trembling, but she was trying to excuse her daughter, "She must have had her own reasons, it must be like this..."
Her voice became quieter and quieter, and even her crawling speed became slower and slower. She was covered in blood, and the ground behind her was also covered in blood.
Anyone who sees this scene will feel sad and sympathetic.
"This Shen Qingqing is too much!"
"Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, but Shen Qingqing was so cruel that she allowed her mother to die from the poison!"
"And, do you know? Madam Shuiyue was also a heroine back then, and she was a well-known figure in the Jiangnan region. But when the Shen family was attacked by the enemy, Madam Shuiyue had her tendons and veins crippled in order to protect the young Shen Qingqing. She lost all her spiritual energy and could no longer cultivate."
"Over the years in the Bai family, we have all witnessed Madam Shuiyue's character. She is very kind and gentle, and she is especially good to Shen Qingqing. Some time ago, in order to save Shen Qingqing, she even knelt in front of the Bai family to plead for mercy, regardless of her own impression."
"But I didn't expect that Shen Qingqing was such a ruthless person. She couldn't even bear to give away three drops of blood from her fingertips and let her mother die!"
"It's okay to assassinate Miss Bai Yanyan, but this is her biological mother. How could she still be so cruel?"
"If I had known that Shen Qingqing was such a cruel daughter, Madam Shuiyue should have strangled her to death when she gave birth to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her life!"
The sound of sighs from the crowd continued to be heard.
Madam Shuiyue gradually became motionless in a pool of blood.
The man in black robe returned to the room behind him indifferently.
"Forgot about me."
Bai Yanyan crossed her legs and drank tea. Seeing him come in, she curled the corners of her lips and said, "You are a pharmacist. You feel sorry for Chen Yulian and want to help her, but Shen Qingqing is unwilling to give three drops of blood from her fingertips to save her.
As for me, I have never appeared before. If you mention anything about me, you will... explode and die."
This is the person Chen Yulian found.
Of course, to ensure the performance went smoothly, she also gave him some "obedient ointment."
After everyone left, Bai Yanyan finished a cup of tea, then stood up and walked out, fanning herself with a folding fan.
Everyone on the first floor surrounded poor Madam Shuiyue, sympathizing with her while scolding Shen Qingqing for being ungrateful and selfish.
Bai Yanyan stopped and looked at Madam Shuiyue lying in a pool of blood.
There wasn't a trace of pity in those beautiful eyes.
Shen Qingqing had called her selfish before, and now she was returning the favor.
Let her also have a taste of being pointed at and called selfish.
As for whether Madam Shuiyue will be pitiful?
What does it have to do with her? She came here to die.
Bai Yanyan withdrew her gaze, fanned herself nonchalantly as she left Qinxiang Tower, then climbed over the wall to go home.
Her yard was at the back side, and she could just climb over the wall, so it was very convenient for her to sneak out. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she climbed over the wall, she saw Gu Yunzhou standing at the opposite corner.
He was dressed in a green shirt and looked at her with his head tilted to the side, a hint of confusion on his handsome face.
"Sir, why are you staring at me like that?"
Bai Yanyan opened her folding fan handsomely and glanced at him, "Could it be that you are mesmerized by my handsomeness?"
