"Don't call me Mother! If you really have to, call me Sister. I couldn't have given birth to a child as big as you at my age!" Ye Qingxue's voice was icy: "How did you know the medicine was poisoned? Was it just a guess?"
“Okay, Mother!” Xiao Bao replied, “In short, it’s poisonous, Mother, just listen to me.”
Ye Qingxue said sternly, "You're my older sister, not my mother. If you don't obey, I'll let Qizai eat you up!"
Xiao Bao: "Although I can call you 'sister' now, this medicine is really poisonous. If you don't listen to me, you'll suffer."
Ye Qingxue stepped forward and reached for the bowl of medicine, but Madam Wan wouldn't let go and kept asking her, "Have you agreed to your second aunt's request?"
Ye Qingxue kicked her in the stomach, and Madam Wan instinctively let go. Ye Qingxue snatched the medicine and grabbed her collar before she could fall, making her stand up. Then she pinched her chin and poured a bowl of medicine into her mouth.
"Ugh..." Madam Wan struggled, but she was no match for Ye Qingxue. The medicine slid down her throat and she was forced to swallow it. Only a small amount of medicine spilled from her chin.
Ye Qingxue threw her aside, and she fell to the ground, desperately trying to dig out the medicine from her throat, but to no avail.
"I was just following your second aunt's orders to bring you the medicine. Even if you have any complaints, you should go to your second aunt. Why are you treating me like this? I'm your third aunt, after all!" Madam Wan accused.
"You humiliate and bully me like this only because I am a weak woman. If you are so capable, why don't you go and deal with the person who killed your father!"
Ye Qingxue grabbed her collar again, pulled her up, and asked with a ferocious expression, "You said my father was murdered? Who murdered him? Tell me!"
Madam Wan seemed to suddenly realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut her mouth. No matter how much Ye Qingxue pressed her, she would not speak again.
Ye Qingxue had no choice but to pinch her chin, forcing her to open her mouth: "If you don't tell me, I'll force earthworms into your mouth. Dongbai, go prepare the earthworms."
Madam Wan was terrified and quickly said, "Wasn't your father killed by the enemy army? If you're so capable, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to avenge your father! What kind of ability do you have to deal with women in the inner quarters!"
She's lying! Ye Qingxue noticed her eyes darting around; clearly, this wasn't the answer. Her third aunt definitely knew something!
Ye Qingxue's expression grew increasingly sharp. She said in a deep voice, "The Third Madam has definitely never tasted earthworms before. Dongbai, the more earthworms the better, let her eat her fill."
Xiao Bao exclaimed excitedly, "I'll go help dig up earthworms!"
