Chapter Sixty-Eight: Pull out the cork and drink it straight away!



Only then did he realize how reckless he had been.

This not only dragged Jiang Mingwei into the eye of the storm, but also subjected him to a barrage of criticism and gossip.

Finally, he lowered his head in despair...

In the reception room.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. What I'm holding in my hand is herbs. I specially drew up the blueprints and had the materials people search all over the mountains for these herbs! Only when all these herbs are collected can the poison in my sister-in-law's body be cured."

After everyone sat down, Jiang Mingwei passionately started talking on the microphone, shaking the herbs in her hand and angrily cursing.

She rolled her eyes furiously, as angry as could be.

"Even though things were extremely unpleasant after I left that day, I never gave up looking for an antidote for her. But what about you? The moment we met, you slandered me without even asking what happened. You don't want me as your sister, do you really think I want a brother like you who can't distinguish right from wrong and is blind to reason? What do you think you are!"

Jiang Mingwei delivered her scathing rebuke with great satisfaction!

Even Wei Jing didn't expect that Jiang Mingwei's resentment was so deep at this moment, and that she would curse so rudely.

Jiang Mingjin, who had been gritting her teeth and accusing Jiang Mingwei at the gate of the mansion, now had a gloomy expression and remained silent.

"Why are you silent now? Have you realized that you were rash, ignorant, arbitrary, and ridiculous, and that you are completely unworthy of the position of Minister?"

"If that's the case, then I really have to applaud you. At least you're not blind. You should hurry up and resign to retire, so as not to disturb the peace of the people!"

"Enough, Jiang Mingwei. I'm not saying anything more to give you a chance to explain yourself. Don't push your luck! Don't think that just because General Wei vouches for you, you can do whatever you want."

"If I find out that Yi Huan's poisoning is indeed related to you, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

Seeing Jiang Mingwei's harsh words, Jiang Mingjin could no longer bear it and slammed her hand heavily on the table.

When he looked up, his gaze was cold and angry as he stared at her.

Jiang Mingwei curled her lips into a cold smile, her expression disdainful. "Don't threaten me with this loan. If you think I poisoned you, then produce evidence. If you can't produce any, what nonsense are you spouting? Can I then suspect that you're plotting to usurp the throne?"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Jiang Mingwei!"

Upon hearing this, both Wei Jing and Jiang Mingjin's expressions changed, and they spoke up to remind her.

Jiang Mingwei pursed her lips, knowing full well how disrespectful those words were, but she just couldn't swallow her anger!

Sure enough, I felt much better after saying it out loud.

Seeing Jiang Mingjin's pale face, it turned out he could be afraid too...

Seeing that the brother and sister were unlikely to reach a conclusion, Wei Jing's expression darkened, and he turned to Jiang Mingjin and spoke in a low voice.

"Minister Jiang, as my sister-in-law said, if you truly suspect that she poisoned him, please provide evidence instead of just guessing. Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of both the Jiang and Wei families."

"Besides, I observed that day that my sister-in-law was genuinely kind to Madam Jiang, not just flattering her. Since Madam Jiang's current symptoms match my sister-in-law's suspicions from that day, why not listen to what she has to say?"

"You are siblings, born of the same mother, and should be the closest people in the world. How could you have made such a scene? Even enemies would not behave like this. If others see this today, they will not understand and will only see it as a joke!"

Wei Jing's voice was calm and indifferent, yet every word was full of reason.

He was not Zhou's biological son, just like Wei Zhi's father, but they were from different mothers, so even if they were close, there was still some distance between them.

But Jiang Mingwei and Jiang Mingjin are completely different!

They should have cherished and supported each other, so why did things have to come to this?

Jiang Mingjin frowned, glanced at Jiang Mingwei, then turned his head away and said nothing more.

Clearly, he still couldn't let go of his prejudice against Jiang Mingwei.

Jiang Mingwei rolled her eyes at him, genuinely not wanting to acknowledge him. She assumed the original owner of this body didn't have such a brother, and therefore she didn't either.

But Jiang Mingwei had no intention of abandoning Li Yihuan.

No matter how bad her relationship with Jiang Mingjin was, Li Yihuan was genuinely good to Jiang Mingwei!

Right now, only I can help her.

After calling Hua Cui to fetch something from her yard, Jiang Mingwei sat quietly in a chair and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Regardless of whether Jiang Mingjin could listen or not, she simply said what needed to be said.

If Jiang Mingjin truly hates her so much that she's unwilling to do even this small thing, Jiang Mingwei is powerless to help.

After all, Li Yihuan is now a member of the Jiang family, while she is a married daughter. If Jiang Mingjin really tries to stop her, she will have no chance to intervene.

"Let me tell you, you should thoroughly investigate Doctor Chen's background. He might not be as innocent as you think, or he might be innocent, but his medical skills are far worse than you imagine. Your sister-in-law has been poisoned. This poison can lie dormant in the body and will take effect every now and then, with the pain building up layer by layer. Right now, your sister-in-law should be in the first stage. These past few days have only been temporary discomfort, but when the pain intensifies, it could very well be excruciating!"

She calmly analyzed the situation, revealing everything she knew.

Shock was clearly visible on Jiang Mingjin's face. He couldn't understand how there could be such a poison, especially one that had affected his kind-hearted wife!

This shouldn't have been the case...

"How could this be? Why is this poison so potent and dangerous!"

"If I told you that there is no antidote for this poison, and that even if you don't want to admit it now, you can only rely on me to cure it, then I would be wrong. But I don't have enough medicinal herbs to concoct an antidote, so you will have to wait!"

As Jiang Mingwei spoke, Hua Cui quickly went and returned, carrying a small porcelain bottle in her hand.

It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. I walked up and handed it to Jiang Mingwei, who took the porcelain bottle in her hand.

Raise your hand and show it to Jiang Mingjin.

"Without those medicinal herbs, I can only temporarily suppress the development of the toxins in my sister-in-law's body. If it develops more than five times, even if a great immortal came, it would be difficult to save her."

"But this stuff should work pretty well. Use it to suppress it first, and you can get through the first attack smoothly."

Jiang Mingwei introduced herself calmly. When she met Jiang Mingjin's hesitant, even somewhat wary gaze, her hand paused slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

Even at such a critical moment, he still suspected that he might have drugged Li Yihuan.

Since Li Yihuan is going to die sooner or later with her unborn child anyway, why should she go through all this trouble for herself?

It's something that could be understood immediately with just a little thought, yet I have so many obsessions about her.

So no matter what bad things happened, as long as Jiang Mingwei was seen, Jiang Mingjin would subconsciously feel that it must have been her doing, and this moment was no exception!

Jiang Mingwei didn't hesitate and immediately uncorked the bottle, pouring the contents directly into her mouth.

Jiang Mingjin was stunned. Just as she was about to stop her, Jiang Mingwei had already finished the bottle of medicine.

"Now, do you still doubt me?"
