Chi Yue's eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth in anger: "Still dare to argue? My mother vomited blood because she drank the tea you offered her! You poisonous woman!"
She slapped him a few times with her own hands, and only stopped after Chi Jingyu reprimanded her.
Shen Tangning caught a glimpse of Shen Xiwei's figure. She stood silently under the tree like a shadow, her expression dazed and numb, with a calmness that preceded an execution.
Shen Tangning glanced at Aunt Qiu, who was wiping away tears, and inwardly scoffed:
What a clever scheme of using someone else to do the dirty work!
Aunt Qiu wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Wang Zhi Ning. Even if things didn't go well, she still had Shen Xi Wei to back her up.
A doctor came out of the door, and Marquis Ningyuan and Chi Jingyu hurriedly went to greet him:
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
The doctor looked grave and slowly shook his head: "Madam Hou was poisoned with a slow-acting poison, which has already penetrated deep into her lungs and internal organs. If it had been discovered earlier, it might have been alright, but now... I am powerless to save her."
Chi Jingyu's pupils suddenly constricted: "What did you say? How is this possible!"
Chi Yue rushed up in a hurry: "My mother was clearly poisoned this morning because she drank the tea that bitch gave her. What nonsense are you spouting, you quack doctor!"
If the mother had been poisoned long ago, how could no one have discovered it for so long?
"Chi Yue, shut up!" Chi Jingyu frowned and coldly stopped her. "I'm sorry, Doctor, my sister is just being anxious."
When his medical skills were questioned in public, the doctor's face turned slightly pale. Considering that Chi Jingyu's attitude was good, he still patiently explained: "This poison is called Qianji. It is a chronic poison that can silently fail all the organs of a person's internal organs. Because there are no obvious symptoms, it is easy to misdiagnose."
"It was precisely because of the collision with another poison today that the original toxicity in the body was stimulated."
Shen Tangning's eyes were cold, and the voice in her heart overlapped with the doctor's:
People who are poisoned by this poison initially experience only headaches, fever, and general weakness, similar to the symptoms of a cold.
Then came the prolonged illness, the weakness preventing him from getting out of bed, and the doctors couldn't diagnose anything wrong, only saying that his heart meridian was damaged and his heart was filled with stagnation.
Until they die of exhaustion, when their life force is completely depleted, probably no one will know that they were poisoned.
How could she know so much?
Chi Jingyu felt a chill run through her body upon hearing this, and her incredulous gaze suddenly shot towards Shen Xiwei, almost piercing through her—
Others may not know, but he knows all too well that in his previous life, Shen Xiwei used this very poison to kill Shen Tangning.
He originally intended to send her to the estate to leave her there for a while, and then bring her back once she gave in. But Shen Xiwei secretly poisoned her!
By the time Chi Jingyu learned of this, Shen Tangning had already passed away, leaving only a lonely grave.
That was the pain of his life. Countless times he would wake up in the middle of the night to find himself facing Shen Tangning's cold, questioning gaze.
Now, Shen Xiwei has resorted to the same old trick and poisoned her mother!
It's so hateful that she didn't realize it sooner; she deserves to die!
Now Wang Zhi Ning has been cleared of suspicion. The Lady of the Marquis had been poisoned for a year, and Wang Zhi Ning had not yet entered the Marquis's mansion at that time. However, the tea she delivered had indeed been tampered with, so she could not escape the blame.
Shen Xiwei noticed Chi Jingyu's gloomy and angry gaze, and immediately knew that she had been exposed. She suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He slowly and deliberately curled the corners of his lips in a provocative smile at Chi Jingyu.
She said that if she wasn't having a good time, Chi Jingyu shouldn't expect to have one either!
Shen Tangning looked up at the square sky, which was overcast and gray, as if a rain was coming soon.
She closed her eyes, curved her lips into a smile, and silently recited in her heart:
Truly... karma is a cycle.
