Chapter 700 Suwen Awakens! [1st Update]
In this way, not only can several major concerns be eliminated at once, but one can also perfectly extricate oneself, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
For doctors, this is also a last resort.
She was Suwen's fifth attending physician, and was specially transferred from the world's top hospital by the Sage Academy.
She has been treating Suwen for years, using medication to prolong Suwen's life.
She could accept that Suwen wouldn't wake up, but she couldn't accept that Suwen was cured by someone from outside the City of the World.
If Suwen is cured, what does all the years of treatment she gave Suwen amount to?
Once Suwen awakens, the Sage's Court will surely blame her for her incompetence.
Not only that, but once she returns to the hospital, her credibility will plummet, practically cutting off her future prospects.
Moreover, because these two outsiders produced the Sage's decree, no one else was allowed to enter the medical room during the diagnosis.
This greatly displeased the doctor.
Even if she were to assist her, even if she were to contribute even a little to Suwen's awakening, she would not choose to cooperate with the Third Madam.
The doctor then said, "Third Madam, I specifically asked someone to visit the ancient medical circles in China. They told me that this acupuncture technique for treating the nerves is called the Thirteen Ghost Needles."
"The conditions for performing the Thirteen Ghost Needles are extremely demanding; not a single needle can be misplaced. That's why I tampered with it."
It must be said that the ancient medical ancestor who invented the Thirteen Ghost Needles was indeed remarkable.
Even the wise magician couldn't cure Suwen's illness, but the Thirteen Ghost Needles could.
However, acupuncture also has a major drawback: it is too rigid.
She asked the question very carefully.
The Thirteen Ghost Points must not be changed in any way; each acupoint is fixed.
"Very good, very good." The Third Madam finally smiled. "You also deserve credit this time. When the mission is accomplished, Mo Qian and I will reward you."
"We'll put in a good word for you at the Academy of Sages and help you get promoted."
The doctor was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Third Madam. From now on, I will follow your lead."
The third wife nodded, her tense nerves finally relaxing after the past few days.
After dealing with Suwen and Xinai, the next group to deal with is Bier and the Second Madam's family.
Anyone who stands in her way of controlling the Lengel family must be eliminated.
**
Inside the medical room.
Last time, Sinai had already moved Suwen to a regular bed.
The woman's eyes were still closed, but her complexion was no longer as pale as before; she had regained some color.
Sinai sat on the edge of the bed, covered Suwen with the blanket, and paused for a moment: "If only my brother were still here. With him around, my sister-in-law wouldn't be so emotionally isolated after she woke up."
Although she was of the same generation as Lu Yuan, she was born much later.
She was just over one year old when Lu Yuan and Su Wen got married.
When she was two years old, both of her parents passed away, and Lu Yuan and Su Wen took care of her as she grew up.
For Sinai, Lu Yuan and Su Wen were like her second parents.
Ying Zijing took out a long box, disinfected it, and asked, "How did the patriarch disappear?"
“I don’t know.” Sinai’s eyes turned slightly cold. “My older brother disappeared twenty years ago. I was only six years old and attending a preparatory class at the research institute.”
"The preparatory class was completely closed off. By the time I got back, my sister-in-law had already fallen into a coma, and my niece's grave was erected in the family cemetery."
She has been investigating this matter for years.
However, the clues prove that both the second wife's family and the third wife's family were in the manor at the time and had absolute alibis.
Sinai took a step back: "Aying, you can begin."
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes: "No, wait a minute."
She put down the gold needles, placed her fingers on Suwen's pulse, and closed her eyes.
Suwen's pulse was much stronger than before, but it was still weaker than that of a healthy person.
However, my pulse is a bit strange today.
Strong one second, weak the next.
It sounds like drumbeats.
This is a symptom of poisoning.
“Someone has poisoned me.” Ying Zijing’s eyes turned cold. “The poison must have been administered this morning. There are no visible signs yet, but once acupuncture is performed, the toxins will erupt.”
Only the doctor has the right to approach Suwen.
It's obvious what her purpose is.
Sinai's expression suddenly turned cold: "She was invited from the hospital by the Sage's Academy, and she was highly respected in the hospital before."
“Everyone has selfish motives.” Yu Xuesheng turned her head and smiled faintly. “This is my first time here, and I have observed everyone.”
"The second wife is cunning and calculating, the third wife is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and this doctor looks ordinary but is actually timid and cowardly, and also greedy for fame and fortune. It is not surprising that he did such a thing."
Yu Xuesheng is not only a hypnotist, but also a top psychologist.
He can tell what a person is thinking at any given moment by observing their micro-expressions.
"Yes, this needle I'm using will not only fail to repair the First Madam's nerves, but it will also cause her to suffer severe internal bleeding," Ying Zijing said calmly. "If it can't be stopped, Madam Suwen will die."
Sinai's heart skipped a beat: "Ah Ying, then you..."
“Just change the needling technique.” Ying Zijing took out the silver needles. “It’s not like I don’t know how to apply what I’ve learned.”
The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique cannot change any acupoint.
Unfortunately, the doctor made one mistake.
Although Ying Zijin is young, she did not learn her medical skills from anyone.
The Thirteen Ghost Needles were originally created by her.
She can modify a few more stitches and easily create new stitching techniques.
Ying Zijin raised her hand and inserted the needle one after another.
Time passed second by second, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead.
An hour later, Ying Zijin administered the last needle.
The silver needles vibrated slightly.
After a while, Ying Zijin removed all the needles and pondered, "She should rest for a few more hours before Lady Suwen wakes up."
She lowered her head and continued to examine Suwen's body.
The next instant, Ying Zijing saw a pair of eyes.
The two people looked into each other's eyes.
They both have phoenix eyes.
Her eyes also had a slight upturn at the corners, making her beautiful and alluring.
Although Ying Zijing disguised herself, she did not change her eye shape for the sake of simplicity.
Meeting such clear and gentle gazes, Ying Zijing's hand suddenly trembled.
"Sister-in-law!" Sina's expression shifted slightly as she immediately stepped forward. "Sister-in-law, you..."
Twenty years have passed.
Suwen finally woke up.
Suwen looked at Xinai and saw that she had long platinum blonde hair and blue eyes.
It's familiar, but it doesn't look like a child anymore.
Su Wen was momentarily uncertain, her voice hoarse: "Is it Xiao Xinai?"
"It's me, it's me." Sinai suppressed the emotions surging within her. "I am Sinai."
"You've grown so much!" Su Wen was stunned for a long time, clearly her memory was still stuck twenty years ago.
Then, her gaze involuntarily fell on the girl again, a wave of dizziness washing over her: "You, you are—"
But suddenly, before Suwen could finish speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The next second, a wave of dizziness hit her, and Suwen immediately fainted again.
Sinai's expression changed: "Sister-in-law!"
The door to the medical room was then kicked open.
On the white ground, a pool of black blood was clearly visible, a shocking sight.
The doctor was somewhat surprised when he came in.
In her plan, Suwen was supposed to suffer a massive hemorrhage and die instantly.
Why is there only so little blood?
But there's not much difference.
Something bad has happened.
"Sister-in-law." Sinai supported the unconscious Suwen, turned her head, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean, what did I do? How dare you ask?" The Third Madam sneered. "Sinai, don't think that just because you're hiding it, you can pretend nothing happened."
“We saw it clearly: my sister-in-law vomited blood and fainted!”
The more she spoke, the louder her voice became: "Sinai, what kind of doctor did you hire? Did you hire someone specifically to harm my sister-in-law?"
"And you, you're a disgrace to the medical profession." The Third Madam looked coldly at Ying Zijing. "You did that on purpose the last few times, didn't you? You made us think you could really cure the First Madam, but look at you now?!"
Ying Zijing's features were delicate. She put the needles away and covered Suwen with a blanket.
“Sister-in-law is indeed better now,” Sinai said calmly. “She just needs to rest a little longer.”
"Sinai, you're still trying to deny it." The Third Madam sneered, "Although my sister-in-law has been unconscious all these years, all her health data are normal. How come she vomited blood and fell into a coma as soon as the people you brought treated her?"
"Don't tell me that people vomit blood for no reason."
"The results are in." The doctor said coldly, "There is an unknown toxin in Madam Suwen's body. It is this unknown toxin that caused Madam Suwen to vomit blood and fall into a coma."
Instruments don't lie.
On the blue screen, there was indeed a frame that kept popping outwards.
[Alert! Alert!]
[Unknown toxin outbreak!]
"They actually dared to poison us!" The Third Madam's eyes flashed fiercely. "Enough with the nonsense, arrest them all!"
The guards who rushed over immediately stepped forward, ready to take action.
"Have you forgotten the Sage's warrant?" Sinai stood up, shielding Ying Zijing. "With the Sage's warrant here, who are you going to arrest?"
"Very well, then let's go to the courtroom." A hint of apprehension appeared in the Third Madam's eyes. "You have no objections to leaving everything to the presiding judge, do you?"
Ying Zijing felt Suwen's pulse, then stood up and said calmly, "Let's go."
In an instant, without making a sound, she casually unleashed a burst of internal energy, enveloping the entire ward.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" the Third Madam sneered. "Once you're in the courtroom, you'll all die."
**
Suwen vomited blood and fell into a coma, throwing the Lengel family into chaos.
Many people are paying attention to the Lengel family, not to mention that some of their own family members are also fueling the flames.
The topic instantly went viral on W website.
#Premeditated Murder#
#Sinai Leunger#
#LadySuwen#
[She even harmed her own sister-in-law; has she no humanity left???]
[I heard Sinai is a scientist? We strongly demand the institute expel her from the program.]
[I know Lady Suwen; my mother told me about her. She was once the most beautiful woman in the city, and many men pursued her. No one expected her to fall into a coma for twenty years. It's such a pity.]
[It seems the courtroom has a dedicated live-streaming platform. Let's go see what Sinai is like; she's so vicious.]
The Court of Judgments under the Sages' Institute was established by the Sages' Tribunal and has a history of over a thousand years.
Even in the ancient civilization of the world's city, the court already existed.
The Twenty-Second Sage, the Twenty-First, the Judgement.
Although the Sage's Trial has not appeared for a long time, it does not prevent the Trial Court from remaining the only place in the World City to punish criminals.
According to the rules established by the wise men's trial, everything must be kept fair and just.
The Third Madam watched as Sinai and Ying Zijin entered the courtroom before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
She was afraid the two of them would run away.
“Your Honor, these are two men from outside the city.” The doctor knelt on the ground, pointing at Yingzi, “They tampered with Lady Suwen’s treatment and even poisoned her.”
"I and the Lengel family are formally suing them. We implore Your Honor to punish them severely!"
The judge frowned: "Poisoning?"
“We have no reason to poison him,” Sinai said calmly. “And we didn’t.”
“Of course you have your reasons.” The Third Madam’s eyes were full of mockery. “With the eldest sister-in-law gone, there will be a 50% chance that you will be the head of the family in the next election.”
"Otherwise, why would you bring two people with you to treat your sister-in-law's illness as soon as you came back? Are you being too kind?"
Sinai glanced at her indifferently: "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it."
The third wife was so speechless that she almost vomited blood. She said coldly, "No matter what, my sister-in-law is already dead. Your Honor, please take them into custody."
The presiding judge pondered for a moment: "Detain it temporarily, and then look for evidence."
Ying Zijing looked up, remaining calm and composed throughout: "Indeed, someone poisoned me."
The doctor's expression changed slightly.
"Isn't it you? What evidence do you have?" the Third Madam interrupted. "Your Honor, please detain them!"
“Your Honor, this evidence is indeed insignificant, and the statements are merely one-sided,” a gentle voice rang out. “But I believe I can testify on my own.”
