Jiang Mingwei pouted and stood up. "Why didn't you do this earlier? Let's go!"
She lifted her foot to walk out of the hall, but Jiang Mingjin stepped forward to stop her, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Where are you going? Didn't you say you'd give me the medicine again?"
"I'll have Hua Cui go back and get the medicine, but I need to go to the Jiang residence with you to check on your sister-in-law's condition and determine the best course of action for her treatment. If you don't trust me, I don't have to go, but I advise you to trust me!"
"In the entire Bianjing, I'm afraid that apart from me and the person who poisoned her, no one can cure her poison. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Jiang Mingwei spread her hands, her attitude sincere, and once again handed the choice over to Jiang Mingjin.
He hesitated for only a moment before speaking.
"I'll lead the carriage to the gate of the mansion, and you can come over after me."
After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the mansion.
Jiang Mingwei did not stop her. She turned to look at Wei Jing beside her. Recalling his repeated protection earlier, she felt warm in her heart and whispered her thanks.
"I'm so grateful to my second brother for speaking up for me and explaining things for me earlier; otherwise, I don't know how much longer this would have dragged on. Isn't it ironic? As my own brother, he hates me to the core, while my second brother believes me and defends me in every way..."
As she spoke, a bitter smile played on her lips, and her expression was forlorn.
"There's just a misunderstanding between my sister-in-law and Minister Jiang. Things will be fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up. I believe that someone as kind and gentle to children as my sister-in-law would never intentionally harm an unborn child."
Wei Jing put his hands behind his back and said in a firm, low voice.
Jiang Mingwei was slightly taken aback, realizing that he must be referring to the time when she and An Ning were using sign language to tell her stories.
When this story spread, many people praised her to her face, but secretly cursed her, saying that she was good at flattery and had even secretly learned sign language in an attempt to please Princess Anning and thus win the favor of the princess.
In other people's eyes, she is such a materialistic person!
But Wei Jing felt that it was true; she was naturally kind and gentle to children... His trust in her stemmed entirely from his inherently upright heart.
It's no wonder that a loyal minister like him was ultimately slandered and killed. Such loyalty is something that others cannot understand or tarnish.
Jiang Mingwei's eyes were red, and she whispered a thank you.
She lifted her foot and strode quickly toward the gate of the mansion.
Wei Jing paused slightly, gazing at Jiang Mingwei's slender back, his heart inexplicably pounding...
I must have seen correctly; was my sister-in-law about to cry?
Was it something he said that upset his sister-in-law...?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
Unable to control himself, he turned slightly and chased after Jiang Mingwei...
In front of the mansion gate, Jiang Mingjin had already prepared a carriage. Just as Jiang Mingwei was about to step onto the carriage, she heard footsteps behind her.
He and Jiang Mingjin turned around and saw Wei Jing come to them, bowing with his hands clasped.
"I wonder if Minister Jiang would allow me to accompany you?"
Looking up at Jiang Mingwei, Jiang Mingjin knew that he was probably worried that Jiang Mingwei might suffer some injustice in the Jiang family.
Although he was filled with hatred for her, she was still his own sister, so how could he really do anything to her?
However, in order not to give others cause for criticism, Jiang Mingjin nodded in agreement.
Wei Jing did not get into the carriage, but instead found a horse.
As he mounted his horse, he spoke softly to Jiang Mingwei through the carriage curtain that was lifted by the wind.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
Jiang Mingwei subconsciously reached out and covered her chest, where her heart was pounding rapidly, and a blush crept onto her earlobes.
Such a good person, and he also has an unforgettable good appearance. Even though Jiang Mingwei told herself a thousand times that she must not fall in love with him, otherwise she would really lose her head.
But at this moment, she still couldn't hold back.
Who could possibly turn a blind eye to such a wonderful person?
At least she can't...
The carriage swayed and rattled all the way to the Jiang family's house. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Mingwei took Hua Cui and hurried to Li Yihuan's courtyard.
When I sat down by her bedside and saw her pale face, bluish lips, and tightly closed eyes, looking like she was in pain, my heart ached slightly.
“Sister-in-law…” she said softly.
Upon hearing her voice, Li Yihuan opened her eyes with great difficulty and managed a forced smile.
Her lips were cracked and dry, and a trace of bright red blood oozed out.
“Weiwei, you’ve come to see me… Don’t listen to your brother, he doesn’t understand anything, he’s just too scared! I know this has nothing to do with you, not at all, don’t be sad…”
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you. Trust me, I will definitely cure you! From this day forward, you are in my care. Don't let any other doctor treat you, especially that Dr. Chen. Remember to keep him under control."
Knowing that saying these things to Jiang Mingjin would be pointless, Jiang Mingwei did not forget to instruct Li Yihuan.
He took her hand and carefully checked her pulse.
As a man, Wei Jing was not allowed to enter, so he waited in the courtyard. Jiang Mingjin was also embraced by Hua Cui.
Before she came in, Jiang Mingwei had instructed her not to let anyone in during the diagnosis, because she didn't want Jiang Mingjin to disturb her.
Sure enough, Li Yihuan's symptoms were basically consistent with her imagination, and her judgment was correct.
Now, Jiang Mingwei is only grateful that during the years she studied traditional Chinese medicine, she was always conscientious and dared not slack off in the slightest. Of course, she couldn't slack off either, because her teacher valued her too much. If there was anything she should have remembered but couldn't, she would inevitably be scolded severely.
Now, unexpectedly, they have all become invaluable assets...
This poison was originally something that Jiang Mingwei couldn't cure.
One year, her mentor suddenly became very interested in ancient poisons, and based on ancient records, he replicated many similar ones.
This includes the one Li Yihuan possesses, called Five Feather Powder.
At the time, Jiang Mingwei and her senior sister even discussed how such a vicious poison could exist.
Unexpectedly, this was discovered on Li Yihuan's body.
Fortunately, she was able to cure it; otherwise, if it were a poison she had never heard of or seen before, she wouldn't know what to do!
After confirming that the symptoms had not worsened further, Jiang Mingwei opened the medicine bottle, placed the medicine inside next to Li Yihuan's mouth, and fed her to drink it little by little.
After waiting for another half an incense stick's time, seeing her complexion gradually regaining its rosy hue, Jiang Mingwei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down...
The two waited at the door for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.
Jiang Mingjin was getting impatient and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "It's been so long and there's still no news? Is Yi Huan alright? I want to go in and check on her!"
He immediately wanted to break through the defenses, but Hua Cui, though afraid of him, was extremely obedient to her young mistress and immediately reached out to stop Jiang Mingjin.
"I'm sorry, young master, no one is allowed to enter without young lady's permission!"
