Qian Youxue also felt that something was increasingly wrong. When she told her mother during the day that she wanted to move back, her mother actually refused outright. The reason given was that Qian Bowen had only been feeling a little better these past two days and wanted to see her every day. For the sake of her younger brother, she wanted her to stay here for a few more days.
The food delivered these past few days contained a lot of top-quality nourishing herbs, and even the meat and blood of spirit beasts. This wasn't just healing; it was a powerful tonic, and she was overwhelmed by the pampering.
What worried her even more was her grandmother. It wasn't Granny Chen who came to deliver the pastries today, but the maid Mei'er. When asked about her grandmother, Mei'er was clearly evasive.
"Miss, this is the soup that Madam asked me to bring to you." Lianxin came in carrying a steaming bowl of soup, and the aroma alone was enough to make one's mouth water.
Qian Youxue was a foodie, and she found it hard to resist such a delicious aroma. However, the food she had been eating these past few days made her feel hungrier the more she ate. Normally, she would have a late-night snack at most, but these days she was eating five meals a day, and she still always felt like her stomach was empty.
"Miss, please drink it while it's hot. Granny Wu said this is quite expensive." Lianxin had just heard Granny Wu say that the bowl of soup her young lady was drinking was worth a lot of money.
It was indeed worth a lot of money, and the more generous her mother was, the more uneasy Qian Youxue felt. However, in order not to arouse her mother's suspicion, she still drank the soup to the last drop.
At this moment, seeing that Qian Youxue had finished the soup, Yang Pozi's eyes revealed an evil smile, and she turned around and went to the backyard with great satisfaction.
...
As night fell, the sky was exceptionally clear after the torrential rain. Qian Bowen, who had been feeling slightly better for a few days, started to have another attack. This time it was even worse than before. In addition to coughing up black blood, the fingers on his right hand were immobile due to the coagulated blood, and it seemed as if they would break off if he couldn't catch his breath.
Granny Yang's hands trembled as she tried to feed Qian Bowen the medicine. She barely managed to get him to drink any, and tears streamed down her face as she clung to him, pleading, "Young Master, please, please just drink some, please..."
Mrs. Su paced back and forth in the room like a madwoman, slamming her fist against the wall in a fit of rage: "No, I can't wait any longer, I can't wait any longer."
“Madam…” Granny Wu hesitated, her eyes already red with tears.
"Alright, go and prepare. I'm going to make my move tonight." Madam Su made up her mind.
“But, Miss’s physical condition is not yet good. I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to recover when she has to go through such suffering…” Granny Wu was a little worried. After all, Miss has no spiritual power, and it will not be easy for her to recover if she has to suffer like that.
snort!
Su wouldn't listen at all, and turned around to scold Wu Pozi: "She's alive only to save Bowen's life, otherwise she wouldn't have lived until now."
Granny Wu was speechless. She couldn't believe that after all these years, the lady of the house still hadn't changed her mind. All she could do was sigh for the young lady and didn't know how to persuade her.
Clang!
The sound of a bowl hitting the ground came from outside. Granny Yang darted to the door and pulled Lianxin, who was standing there, inside.
Lianxin had come to ask her mistress if she wanted her breakfast changed for tomorrow morning, but instead overheard this terrifying conversation. Being timid, she was so frightened that she dropped the bowl and smashed it, which is how Granny Yang discovered her.
Su's eyes flashed coldly, and her deep voice rang out: "What did you hear?"
"No, I didn't hear anything!" Lianxin shook her head frantically, trembling with fear at the cold light in the lady's eyes.
"Really? You're not lying to me?" Madam Su smiled coldly.
"Madam, please, please don't hurt Miss. Miss is already pitiful enough; she's innocent." Lianxin knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she tugged at her madam's trouser leg and pleaded for Miss's life.
