The Vice Minister's wife, her face dark with worry and panting, threw down the whip. "Qin Xun, I'll let you off the hook for today."
Qin Xun, however, had already collapsed.
The Vice Minister's wife flicked her sleeves and turned to leave with her entourage.
That cold, ruthless, and arrogant demeanor...
Xie Lingqin seemed to see a second second concubine, only more domineering.
Qin Xun was clearly an unfavored illegitimate son in this household.
Gently raise your hand.
"ah."
With a cry of "Ah!", the Vice Minister's wife slipped, lost her balance, and fell directly into the lake beside her.
"Bang."
Water splashed everywhere.
Chaos erupted all around.
Seeing this, Xie Lingqin glanced at Qin Xun, who was still unconscious on the ground, before quietly leaving and successfully returning to the General's Mansion.
However, this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
"Miss, something has happened to the young master." Xie Lingqin had just finished bathing and was about to go to bed when Zihe knocked on the door from outside.
Young master?
Oh, thank you, Danling.
What could possibly happen to him?
"Come in." Xie Lingqin said calmly, showing no interest in the news.
Zihe then pushed open the door and approached, her face showing worry. However, when she looked up and saw Xie Lingqin, she was clearly taken aback.
Xie Lingqin, dressed in a pure white undergarment, leaned against the couch, her black hair hanging down, her brows slightly tired, her starry eyes watery, her expression somewhat languid, less aloof and more alluring, like a fairy descending from heaven.
It was so beautiful that it caught people off guard.
"My face is indeed quite good-looking, but I don't want to play mirror games with you," Xie Lingqin said, blinking her eyes.
Zihe immediately snapped out of her daze, no longer pondering Xie Lingqin's words, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the young master suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell into a deep sleep. The North Courtyard is in complete chaos. Doctors are going in and out, but they all shake their heads."
Who discovered it?
"The maidservant beside the young master is Miaoqiao."
Xie Lingqin's eyes were cool. After a moment, she put on her clothes and said, "Let's go take a look."
Zihe followed closely behind.
As soon as the two stepped out of the main house, they saw that Tridacna was still awake and was tending to the weeds in the yard.
Xie Lingqin looked at her.
Speaking of which, when she went out today, the giant clam reminded her to be careful.
Looking back now, those words were indeed pointed.
Xie Lingqin walked over and stood in front of the giant clam, "Giant clam."
"What are your orders, Miss?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you." Xie Lingqin said gently, and then left the courtyard.
Tridacna watched Xie Lingqin walk away before turning her gaze away and continuing her work with a relaxed expression.
“This giant clam…” Xie Lingqin said, rubbing her eyes as she walked.
She simply couldn't understand it.
"General, do you think it might be that someone in this mansion has a conflicting birth chart? Look at all the things that have happened these past few days."
At that moment, the voice of the second aunt came from the courtyard ahead.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe exchanged a glance before walking inside.
"I wonder what happened to Danling?"
"Xie Lingqin, you still dare to come? Was it you? Danling only pushed you today, and you haven't eaten anything strange since you came back, and you've become like this. Tell me, was it you...?"
As soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, Xie Lingyu walked over, looking heartbroken and anxious.
She was clearly Xie Danling's older sister.
Who is this for?
Moreover, Xie Lingqin glanced at her and noticed that there was dirt on her knees, indicating that she acted very well and knelt very well.
"Xie Lingqin, say something! Look at Danling, she's in this state..."
"Xie Lingyu and Xie Danling are also my younger brothers."
Xie Lingqin suddenly interrupted Xie Lingyu, speaking slowly and patiently, before stepping forward to General Xie and asking, "Father, how is Danling?"
"The cause of the illness has not yet been diagnosed. I was just about to send someone to invite Doctor Dong, but I don't know if he is able to help me..."
"Why don't you go and ask her, daughter? It concerns Danling's life, and as her older sister, I can't refuse," Xie Lingqin volunteered.
Although she didn't have a good impression of that old fox Doctor Dong, she didn't want Xie Lingyu and her second aunt to succeed in their scheme.
What a coincidence, Xie Danling just died like this. She didn't need to guess; the expressions of her second aunt and Xie Lingyu had already betrayed them.
Of course, if Xie Pinling doesn't wake up now, she will be mistaken for a jinx.
After a cursory examination, she could indeed cure the poison, but...
It's best not to be too sharp or show off.
The second concubine, having lived in the General's Mansion for so many years, is no fool. To come up with such a plan under these circumstances, it must be a complete scheme.
However, she was certain that these two would still need to rely on Xie Danling in the future, so they would never actually give him a sexually transmitted disease.
Right now, her concern is her own life.
Seeing Xie Lingqin being so proactive.
Second Aunt and Xie Lingyu exchanged a secret glance, clearly quite surprised.
General Xie naturally agreed.
After all, Xie Danling was his only son.
Xie Lingqin arrived at the Dong residence quickly in the general's carriage.
As if they had anticipated her arrival, the servant boy at the gate hurriedly opened the door to welcome her inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw Old Master Dong standing there, gently stroking his hair and beard, looking at her with a half-smile.
That old fox really knew what happened at the General's Mansion.
"Hello, Dr. Dong."
"Indeed, Miss Xie looks better in women's clothing."
As soon as Doctor Dong spoke, Xie Lingqin's expression changed.
