Chapter 198 Ye Hongying jumped out to accuse her
Ye Hongying, who had been secretly observing the movements of the Xiao family's main branch from a short distance away, was secretly delighted when she saw Yang vomit blood. She was just about to proceed with the next step of her plan.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and the black lines under the skin on my arm bulged up and grew at a visible speed, as if the worm inside my body was about to break through my skin and grow out.
My arm was shaking uncontrollably, so I quickly pressed down on several acupoints with my other hand.
The more she tried to control her arms, the more violently they trembled, causing her whole body to shake.
Xiao Xuanjing cooked a big pot of wild vegetables. He was about to call him to eat when he found him lying on the ground. "Hongying, Hongying, what's wrong? Don't scare me. I'll take you to see a doctor."
Xiao Xuanjing just happened to grasp the position of her black line floating.
"Ouch!" Ye Hongying winced in pain, raising her hand to push the person away. "Get away! Get away from me, don't touch me!"
She pressed her arm tightly and waited for the sharp pain to subside, and the pain gradually disappeared.
Yang coughed up a mouthful of black blood, her whole body went limp, her body twitched slightly, her face was ashen, her eyes were empty and blank, and bloodstains snaked around her lips. She looked like she was on her last legs, which terrified everyone.
People around also looked over, abandoning their dinner preparations, curious about what had happened. Those nearby could hear the arguing coming from the Xiao family's side.
"What happened? Madam Xiao is the eldest in the Xiao family, who would dare to offend her?"
"Who else could it be? Even a fool could guess."
"Princess Zhaoxue?"
"I've only ever seen cases where a woman marries into a higher social class and the mother-in-law suffers. These two families are considered a good match, right? Yet the daughter-in-law is behaving like a jerk to her. How can Madam Xiao tolerate this?"
"Who cares about her status? She's just a princess. Even a princess wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. If it were me, I would definitely have my son divorce her."
"We can't let their arrogance grow unchecked. We have to keep them firmly under control in order to keep them in line."
The other mothers-in-law were furious when they saw their daughters-in-law stop what they were doing and curiously look towards the Xiao family's house.
He pointed at them and yelled, "What are you all looking at? Get to work! You've been dawdling for ages and haven't eaten yet. Do you want your whole family to go hungry and wait for your food? If you don't want to work, just say so."
The daughters-in-law responded softly, "Yes!" and continued cooking.
The mothers-in-law nodded in satisfaction; this was what it meant to respect the hierarchy.
Families like the Xiao family have no rules, and without rules, everything falls into chaos.
Yun Zhaoxue took Yang's pulse.
She resisted, not wanting her to touch her, and pulled her hand back and hid it.
Xiao Xuance grabbed Yang's hand and asked her to take her pulse.
Yang leaned against the tree, unable to resist his strength as her arm was pulled away. Completely powerless, she managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "You unfilial son!"
"Mother, Xue'er is a skilled doctor. Why don't you let her take your pulse?"
Disappointed, Madam Yang closed her eyes and shook her head. "No, I don't want her..."
Yun Zhaoxue told her, "I deliberately provoked you just now so that you would vomit out the blood clots in your body, which would be good for your health."
Upon hearing this, the others realized that's how it is.
Xie Wanyun also advised Yang Shi, "Mother, why don't you let your third sister-in-law take a look? You haven't been feeling well lately, and we're all very worried about you."
"Yes, Mother, your third sister-in-law is only trying to help you. Please don't hold a grudge against her."
Xiao Mingshu, Xiao Xuanwu, and the three little boys nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."
While everyone was trying to persuade Yang, Yun Zhaoxue took her pulse.
For other illnesses, you can feed them spiritual spring water, but not for Gu worms.
The weaker her body becomes, the less the Gu worms can absorb nutrients, and the more active her body becomes, accelerating the consuming of her heart and absorbing her nutrients and flesh.
Under the cover of the cart, Yun Zhaoxue took out several medicines from her spatial storage, brewed them, and had Yang drink them, which put the Gu worms in her body into a state of dormancy.
Ye Hongying walked over and reached out to knock the medicine out of her hand.
"You made the princess so angry she vomited blood, what else do you want to do to her?"
Yun Zhaoxue raised her hand to avoid it, saying, "This is our family matter, and it has nothing to do with you, an outsider. Stop interfering and minding your own business!"
Ye Hongying now had a trump card and wasn't afraid of her. Touching her left arm, she said loudly:
“I grew up in the Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion. The Princess Consort took care of me in every way. In my heart, I have long regarded her as my mother. She also treats me like her own daughter. I will never allow anyone to hurt her.”
"You always defied her and went against her back in the Prince's mansion, but she's still your mother-in-law. You even angered her when she was sick, making her vomit blood. The Princess has always been so good to you, why did you harm her?"
Those around him nodded in agreement; in their family, a daughter-in-law like that would have been divorced long ago.
She listened to the crowd's agreement and smiled with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, she has disrespected her elders and violated one of the seven grounds for divorce. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Any other man would have divorced such a wife long ago.
She refused to believe that Xiao Xuance could tolerate it. So what if he had children? So what if it was twins?
If he wants ten or eight children in the future, she can give birth to them for him.
As for the two bastards in Yun Zhaoxue's belly, there's no need for them to exist; she will eliminate them forever to prevent future troubles.
She shouldn't even think about using the child to blackmail them into disrupting their happy life.
Xiao Xuance said, "It was I who angered Mother, which caused her to vomit blood. It has nothing to do with Xue'er. Besides, this is a family matter, and outsiders have no right to interfere. Please leave!"
Xiao Mingshu blamed herself for making a mess of the house. She stood up and took all the blame upon herself. "No, it has nothing to do with my third brother and sister-in-law. They made Mother angry because of me. It's all my fault."
No one paid her any attention, so she seized on Yun Zhaoxue and Xiao Xuance to berate them, calling them unfilial daughters-in-law and sons who had forgotten their mothers after marrying wives...
Ye Hongying thought Xiao Xuance would divorce his wife, but she didn't expect him to. "Your Highness, you actually disregarded your mother for her sake? Your Highness, you've changed. I don't even recognize you anymore. You've always been the most filial son."
"I have always respected my mother."
Ye Hongying was unwilling to give up. Pointing at Yun Zhaoxue, she said to him, "She doesn't know any medicine at all, yet we let her do whatever she wants and make the princess take her medicine. Isn't she trying to kill the princess? There are several imperial physicians in the group. If all else fails, we can go to the city to ask for a doctor."
"Xue'er's medical skills are excellent, I trust her,"
If she can't cure the illness, finding another doctor won't help either.
"see a visitor out!"
Zhuiying stepped forward to shoo her away. This was no ordinary farewell; if she didn't leave, he would physically force her to go.
Ye Hongying couldn't understand his behavior. She stared at him for a long time, standing still and staring at him without moving.
His affection for Yun Zhaoxue goes beyond filial piety; is this something a normal person would do?
Xiao Xuanjing professed his love for her, but he couldn't overcome his feelings for his mother.
Suddenly, something came to mind.
"Did she cast a spell on you?"
Yun Zhaoxue handed the medicine to Xie Wanyun and asked her to decoct it, instructing her on the amount of water and the heat.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone pointed at her, rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed her arm, and twisted it forcefully with a "crack!"
Yun Zhaoxue said, "I hate it when people point fingers at me. You clown, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want him to divorce me and be with him? You're eating from my bowl while eyeing someone else's pot. Shameless thing, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today."
"Smack!"
Ye Hongying, having been slapped, quickly raised her hand to slap her back.
Then, before it even touched his cheek, his wrist clenched in mid-air.
Yun Zhaoxue slapped him again, sending him flying.
Xiao Xuance pushed his wheelchair forward and quickly struck out with a palm strike, "Bang!"
She flew several meters away, hit a tree, bounced off, and then crashed heavily to the ground.
"puff!"
As Ye Hongying coughed up blood, she remembered Xiao Mingshu's anxious cries, "Mother, Mother, why are you coughing up blood again? Don't scare Shuer!"
“I will listen to you and never go against you again. I will marry whoever you want me to marry, as long as you can wake up and get better. I will do anything you ask.”
Yang's condition seemed even more serious than hers; she vomited blood that stained the front of her clothes red.
When Xiao Xuance saw that her symptoms were similar to Ye Hongying's, he understood. "Did you administer it?"
They speculated that the Gu worm controller directly administered the Gu, but they didn't expect there to be a mother-child Gu.
Xiao Xuanjing rushed over and helped Ye Hongying, who was lying on the ground, to her feet. Just as he turned her over, he coughed violently twice, "Cough cough!"
"Yes, it's me. Go ahead and hit me. You'd better kill me. I'm not afraid of anyone dying with me."
Yun Zhaoxue noticed a black thread floating on her arm. "You madwoman, would you really risk your life for a man?"
To tie one's life to someone else's.
If she were to do something so stupid, it would be much easier to deal with the poison if it were on her arm; we could simply cut open the skin and flesh of her arm to force the poison out.
But no, the Gu should be placed in the chest. They cannot act rashly for now. They should wait for the right time to force the Gu out of Yang's body before killing her.
