Glancing at Su Xueyi, who was clutching her stomach and groaning at his feet, Wei Shuwan gave a faint smile.
She might not seek revenge for the man who stole her man, but she would remember the one who took her life forever!
In her previous life, after she fell ill, she suspected that she had been poisoned and managed to catch the maid who had poisoned her, only to find out that it was all Su Xueyi's doing.
It turned out that Su Xueyi thought the contraceptive soup she was taking was a good remedy for having a child. Fearing that she would have a child and win back Song Zichen's heart, she secretly added musk to the contraceptive soup in a very strong amount.
Over the years, the excessive amount of contraceptives she took depleted her vital energy, ultimately leading to her death.
Hearing the commotion, Wei Zheng and Sun Lurong immediately rushed out, assuming their daughter had fallen due to her frail health. However, upon closer inspection, they discovered it was only a servant boy from the Song family who had fallen, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Lurong stepped forward to comfort Wei Shuwan: "Wanwan, were you scared?"
"Mother, I'm fine, but this person looks badly injured. Should we call a doctor for him?"
Sun Lurong pursed her lips, thinking to herself that it was retribution for the Song family member to fall and die. However, such petty words were not something a mother should say, so Sun Lurong looked into the doorway and asked loudly, "Master Song, Madam Song, your servant has fallen. Should we call a doctor to take a look?"
Upon hearing the noise, the three members of the Song family were all startled. The first to rush out was Song Zichen. Seeing his cousin curled up and trembling on the ground like a dehydrated fish, he couldn't help but embrace her.
At this moment, Master Song and Madam Su also came out. They were initially worried about Su Xueyi, but then, seeing the horrified looks on the Wei family's faces, Madam Su quickly explained, "This servant has grown up with Zichen since he was a child. The bond between master and servant is very deep, like that of brothers..."
“If that’s the case, then we should definitely call a doctor to take a look,” Wei Shuwan said sincerely.
Startled, Su Xueyi disregarded her stomach pain and struggled to her feet, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm just a servant, it's really not worth it..."
Madam Su quickly chimed in, "Yes, and besides, the clinic is quite far from here. By the time we get the doctor here, we'll be able to take the carriage back to our residence."
“That’s true,” Wei Shuwan pondered for a moment, then decided, “Let’s go next door to invite them; they have a physician in their household.”
Zi Qiao was quick-witted and knew that her young lady was not just being polite, so she ignored the Song family's refusals and hurriedly went out to take care of it.
The Song family was now completely panicked.
Wei Shuwan had no time to pay attention to them. She circled the oil stain for a while, then took a handkerchief, dipped it in, and smelled it: "This is not water, it is... Dew Flower Oil."
"Dew Flower Oil, isn't that something you women use to care for your hair?" Song Zichen's eyes swept over with suspicion. He had initially thought it was an accident, but now he sensed a conspiracy.
Could it be that the Wei family discovered Xue'er's identity early on and punished her for it?
Wei Shuwan ignored him completely and continued to search for clues. She quickly identified a bright red flower stamen in the flower oil: "This flower oil contains saffron. It comes from the Western Regions. The Wei family doesn't have this stuff."
“The Western Regions…” Song Zichen looked at Su Xueyi with a puzzled expression.
Su Xueyi's parents were in the Western Regions spice business before their accident, and it was only because they encountered bandits that they were unable to return. The Song family knew this, and Wei Shuwan naturally knew it as well.
Su Xueyi's eyes met Song Zichen's briefly before she guiltily lowered her head, and Song Zichen immediately understood what was going on.
This is a perfect example of the saying "lifting a stone to drop it on one's own foot."
Knowing that Su Xueyi was not framed, Madam Su gave her husband a look, and Master Song stepped in to smooth things over: "Today's incident was just an accident. I think we should leave it at that. It's just a servant falling down. We can go back and ask the family doctor to bring some safflower oil. We won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, the Song family was about to leave, but Su Xueyi was indeed in severe abdominal pain and could only be supported by Song Zichen, slowly moving towards the carriage.
The Wei family's corridors twist and turn, and the passageways crisscross. They had only just stepped out of the second gate when Zi Qiao had already brought the doctor back.
With the doctor brought before them, the Song family could no longer refuse and had no choice but to follow the Wei family to a nearby room for a consultation.
Su originally planned to just have the doctor examine the external injuries and then brush it off, but Su Xueyi was in so much pain that she fainted as soon as she was helped to a chair! Now the doctor had no choice but to take her pulse.
The Song family tried to stop her, but Sun Lurong insisted, "Although she is a servant, she still caused trouble in our Wei family. If something bad happens to her, it won't sound good to our Wei family."
With the two sides at an impasse, the doctor had taken the pulse of the Song family's "servant" without consulting him. After putting away the pulse pillow, he moved his gray beard and hesitated to speak.
Although Sun Lurong disliked the Song family, she didn't want to cause a real death, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there no hope?"
Under questioning, the doctor finally spoke with difficulty: "The mother is fine for now, but the fetus in her womb... I'm afraid it's difficult to save."
"fetus?!"
Wei Zheng and Sun Lurong repeated it in unison, then looked at the three members of the Song family with astonishment in their eyes.
"How could this man have a fetus? Could it be a mistake?" Madam Su questioned the doctor's eyesight.
Wei Shuwan stepped forward, stared at Su Xueyi who was lying on the high table, and smiled, saying, "Look, these eyebrows and beard are fake."
Wei Zheng and Sun Lurong looked closely and it was indeed true! Due to the pain, the servant's forehead and lips were covered in sweat, and his eyebrows were curling up.
Wei Shuwan gave Zi Qiao a look, and Zi Qiao immediately stepped forward and tore off the fake beard and hat. This time, Madam Su had nothing to say. Only Song Zichen angrily squeezed out the word "You!" but then said nothing more.
The tug jolted Su Xueyi awake, her eyes blurry with tears. She stared blankly at the group of people surrounding her, as if she were some rare animal...
