Chen Hongluo's eyes turned red and she was speechless.

Chen Bijun sighed softly, helped Chen Shuting up, and said guiltily: "Yes, we were wrong. We were wrong before."

"My father took Chen Fusheng to the military camp and rewarded him with a Ferghana horse."

"If my ninth brother were still alive, what do you think father would reward the number one scholar with?"

Chen Shuting: “…”

What kind of reward is this? My father doesn’t like fools.

He thought that his personality was unlike his own, and that he didn't even seem like a person from the Huainan Palace.

"You also know that my father will not reward you with anything."

Chen Bijun sighed heavily: "Even if my ninth brother is the top scholar, even if he is outstanding, in the eyes of father, he is just a capital for showing off."

"Of course, it's not just Father, it's all of us!"

"In our eyes, we have never considered Ninth Brother to be a human being!"

Chen Shuting couldn't refute this.

Although she was busy with the affairs of the National Medical Hall and seldom went home, when she went home, Hanzi was no different from a big yellow dog in her eyes.

When you are in a good mood, tease him and he will wag his tail happily.

If you are in a bad mood, just scold him and beat him!

"Second sister, I cannot agree with what you said."

Chen Shuting still refused to admit it: "We usually just joke with Ninth Brother, why don't you treat him as a human being?"

"I heard from my third sister that Hanzi even threatened our father with a knife!"

Chen Bijun shook her head. She was there that day.

Chen Hongluo suppressed her emotions: "Fourth sister, I don't blame you, I used to be like this too."

"My ninth brother is in the Huainan Palace, and he only has a monthly salary of five taels of silver, which he uses all for studying in the academy."

"In the palace, he couldn't get enough to eat, and could only secretly eat wild vegetables every day."

"In six years, he only had three pieces of clothing, all of which we made."

"If it were you, would you point a knife at your father?"

Chen Shuting bit her lip.

To be honest, her monthly expenses are at least 1,000 taels. Giving her 5 taels...

She simply couldn't survive.

"Under these circumstances, my ninth brother became the top scorer in high school."

"Father and mother happily rushed to Qingfeng Academy, hoping to find my ninth brother and bring honor to the Huainan Palace."

"At that time, my father took on the attitude of the King of Huainan, and my mother asked Wang Meng to break my ninth brother's legs."

"It's you, will you go back?"

"Don't forget, he has nothing in Huainan Palace!"

Chen Shuting said nothing and kept her head down.

"Ninth brother just took out the knife, what can he do?"

"In front of my father, my ninth brother gave one thousand taels of silver to the Huainan Palace. Five hundred taels were his expenses for six years, and the other five hundred taels were returned to me."

"He really has a cold heart towards the Huainan Palace and doesn't want to have anything to do with us anymore!"

Chen Hongluo raised her voice a few notches, which startled Chen Shuting.

"Sis, if it doesn't happen, it won't happen."

"Hanzi got the bad habit of being a pariah in the Salesian House and cannot accept the identity of a nobleman."

"He! Is! Not! A Bitch!"

Chen Shuting still had this attitude, and Chen Hongluo stood up immediately.

"A hero's origin is not important. Even if he was a pariah before, he is now the top scholar!"

"The Emperor said so himself. We are eagerly awaiting it!"

"Shu Ting, when will you change this mindset?"

"If he is a pariah, then what about you, me, and everyone in the Huainan Palace?"

"What are we?"

Chen Shuting took two steps back. She had never seen her elder sister so excited.

"Take this scientific expedition for example. Have we ever cared about our ninth brother?"

"Mother even asked my second sister and I to tutor my eleventh brother carefully, while she did the logistics, fearing that my eleventh brother would overwork his brain."

"Where is Ninth Brother? What did he eat?"

"He's not well-nourished!"

As Chen Hongluo spoke, tears began to flow: "I asked the teacher at Qingfeng Academy, and he said that my ninth brother has always been very hardworking!"

"In the past, we paid too much attention to our eleventh brother and took it for granted that our ninth brother was trash!"

"Chen Shuting, think about it carefully, is this true?"

After Chen Hongluo finished speaking, she sat on the table and cried bitterly, feeling exhausted.

Every time I say this, it feels like my heart is being cut in half.

That's her biological brother!

Seeing Chen Shuting stunned, Chen Bijun sighed.

"Fourth sister, please take a good look... Doctor Li said that my ninth brother was poisoned by Cimicifuga. Please tell me how to treat him?"

When Chen Shuting heard the word "Cimicifuga", she was stunned.

"Cimicifuga?"

Chen Shuting then took Chen Changan's diagnosis seriously and carefully checked it.

After a long while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If Doctor Li's diagnosis is correct, Hanzi is just lacking in nutrition, it's nothing serious."

"The poison in the body is Cimicifuga... I am skeptical for now."

"Cimicifuga was used on the battlefield. Even the National Medical Hall has a limited supply. How could Hanzi have access to it?"

Chen Hongluo raised her head: "There are a limited number of national medical halls, but there will always be people who can access them, don't you think?"

Chen Hongluo's eyes were sharp and Chen Shuting jumped up.

"Sister, you're not talking about me, are you?"

"Although I don't like Hanzi, he is my brother after all. Can I kill him on purpose?"

"What benefit did Hanzi give you that was worth you speaking like this for him?"

Chen Hongluo shook her head: "Ninth brother didn't give me any benefits, you take it back to the palace."

"Eleventh brother said there were mice in the room, and you gave the bag of coix seed to third sister Chunhua. Later, the bag of coix seed disappeared. Where do you think it is?"

Chen Shuting's body was stiff: "Could it be that Third Sister wants Hanzi to die?"

"That's impossible. Hanzi is hungry, so maybe he took the Cimicifuga as a seasoning and ate it?"

Chen Hongluo was speechless and lowered her head without saying a word.

What Chen Shuting said made sense, but Chen Hongluo thought it was impossible that it was an accidental ingestion.

Don't forget that Chen Changan was very determined to leave home, even at the risk of his life. What if someone in the Huainan Palace wanted him to die?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Hongluo felt cold all over!

The topic is too heavy.

Chen Bijun looked at Chen Shuting: "Fourth sister, what do you think of... your relationship with your ninth brother?"

Chen Shuting shook her head: "Why are you asking? Aren't we usually together?"

"Tell me what your impression of Ninth Brother is like?"

"Me?" Chen Shuting sneered, "I'm just a fool who only knows how to obey orders!"

"Not just to me, but to everyone in our family."

"He came to see me secretly, and he also came to see my elder sister. Oh, didn't he eavesdrop on your class in the Saint's Prison?"

"To sum it up, it's garbage and trash!"

Chen Bijun was speechless and gritted her teeth without saying anything.

Chen Hongluo suddenly said: "If, I mean if..."

"What if the ninth brother didn't eat the Cimicifuga by mistake, but someone poisoned him and wanted to kill him?"

Chen Shuting frowned: "Impossible, why would Third Sister have such thoughts?"

"Eleventh brother is so young, his mind is still immature..."

"I mean what if."

Chen Shuting clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

That’s a big problem!

Anyone who dares to poison the ninth son of King Huainan would be guilty of a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family.

Even if we don’t talk about these, Chen Changan had no food, no good clothes, was attacked, framed, and someone was deliberately trying to kill him...

Why would Chen Changan continue to stay in the Huainan Palace?

get away!

He wants to escape!

"Sister, there are no ifs in life. Things... are all over, right?"

Chen Shuting didn't dare to think about it anymore: "At least Doctor Li's diagnosis only affected the hematopoietic function, and Hanzi is not dead."

"Father must not know about this, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

Chen Hongluo nodded. Of course she knew the stakes.

"Fourth sister, you develop the antidote, and then we will give it to ninth brother together."

"No matter what, his body is important."

Chen Shuting shook her head repeatedly: "Sister, it's fine for me to develop an antidote, but... I won't go, right?"

"I was not nice to my ninth brother before, and he probably doesn't want to see me."

Chen Hongluo sneered: "Not going? What qualifications do you have not to go?"

"Don't forget, you were the one who took Shengma back to the Huainan Palace. Others can deny their involvement, but you are the instigator!"

"If you don't go, I will report to my father!"

Chen Shuting rubbed her forehead with a headache.

What to do!

Really annoying!
