Perhaps realizing that she was in trouble, Su Yan stamped her feet and yelled to Hongxiu, "Hongxiu, Hongxiu! Go get the doctor! Grandma Qi has fainted. If we are slow, it will be too late."

Seeing that she had been fooled, He Ying's face flashed with excitement, and she sobbed and ordered the maid beside her grandmother, "No, we dare not use the doctor you invited. If he harms grandma again, we won't know. Madam Fang, go and invite Doctor Li from the mansion to come over. He often feels grandma's pulse and knows grandma's health best."

Mother Fang sighed, strode out, and soon came back with a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box.

The middle-aged man—Doctor Li—seemed to be familiar with this situation. He immediately felt Grandma He Qi's pulse and concluded that Grandma He Jiu had a slippery and stringy pulse, strong liver fire, and a weak pulse. In short, she had fainted from anger and was very weak.

Su Yan walked forward with an incredulous look on her face, grabbed Dr. Li and asked him whether it was true or not.

Doctor Li was quite into the role. Even when Su Yan grabbed him by the collar, he still had a compassionate look on his face. He said in a heavy tone, "The old lady has always been in poor health and she is old. She was so angry today that she might not be able to breathe..." He gave her a look that everyone understood.

"Even if you recover in the future, it will still affect your lifespan."

He Ying cried out, "Go and ask grandpa and father to come over quickly, grandma is so mad that she can't stand it anymore." Grandma had never made such a big fuss before, and today perhaps she did it to scare Su Yan.

But if she seized this opportunity to make trouble in front of her grandfather and father, she might be able to kick Zhao Wan into a pit and she would never be able to get up again.

Even if it's Su Yan, he will have to bear the consequences today.

Sure enough, when Su Yan heard this, she hurried to stop the maid, but she couldn't beat four hands with two fists, so how could she stop her?

Mother Fang stepped forward to hold her up, and a little maid ran away from the side.

Su Yan pretended to struggle and try to chase after him, but Fang's mother hugged her even tighter.

Zhao Wan also wanted to cooperate and chase after him, but a maid came over and held her down.

Perhaps it was because everyone knew that this young lady was unpopular at home, the maid who held her down was much more ruthless than Fang Mama, and there was a hint of condescending pity in her expression.

Grandpa He Qi and He Qiong were both in the house and came over soon. During this time, Su Yan kept bluffing and asking Mama Fang to let her go, acting as if she was trying hard to struggle free but was unable to.

Finally, she sat down in despair, pretending that everything was over.

Zhao Wan was also dejected and pretended to glare at Su Yan fiercely.

This scene was indeed captured by He Ying. She became even more angry and determined to beat Zhao Wan so hard that she would never get up again.

Therefore, when she saw Grandpa He Qi and He Qiong rushing over, she immediately burst into tears, which scared Grandpa He Qi and He Qiong so much that their hearts skipped a beat.

When I entered the room, I saw Grandma He Qi collapsed on the ground. He Ying was hugging her with a look of grievance, trembling and not daring to speak.

When he saw his grandfather and father coming, he felt like he had found support and burst into tears.

He Qiong quickly supported her mother and asked Doctor Li beside her, "What happened to my mother?"

Grandpa He Qi also walked forward with a worried look on his face.

Doctor Li sighed before speaking, with a helpless look on his face, "The old lady is so angry, I'm afraid..."

Grandpa He Qi and He Qiong felt a chill in their hearts. They didn't dare to think any further and urged Doctor Li to save the man quickly.

Doctor Li shook his head pretentiously and sighed, creating a great atmosphere before he went to write the prescription.

Grandpa He Qi turned around and asked angrily what happened. He Ying came forward crying and explained the situation with exaggeration.

He Qiong stared at Su Yan with a cold look, then turned back to look at Zhao Wan with a frown.

Grandpa He Qi became even angrier. As he was older than him, he directly asked someone to invite Grandfather He to come over and hold him accountable.

He Ying didn't expect that her grandfather would invite He's grandfather over himself, as this would lead to enmity.

She was a little scared and didn't dare to speak, but she also knew the true situation of her grandmother and was afraid that if the situation got too serious, it would end up badly for the two families.

Fortunately, Grandma He Qi also thought so. After saying this, she immediately pretended to wake up slowly and asked innocently with god-like acting skills, "...What's wrong with me?"

He Qiong looked at her in surprise, "Mom, are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Doctor, doctor! My mom is awake, come and see her."

Grandpa He Qi also hurried forward to check on his wife.

Doctor Li, who was writing a prescription at the Eight Immortals Table, heard He Qiong's call and hurried over.

Seeing that Grandma He Jiu gave her a look, she had something in mind.

He stepped forward silently, flipped her eyelids, checked her tongue, and took her pulse. Then, under everyone's gaze, he spoke the words he had prepared long ago, "Although the old lady has woken up, her anger has not subsided. The blood is blocked in her heart. I'm afraid she will be bedridden for the rest of her life. Without three to five years of recuperation, she won't be able to recover."

Grandma He Jiu was originally worried that Doctor Li might have said something wrong, but she was relieved after hearing what he said. She continued to pretend to be weak and looked at her son with lifeless eyes.

He Qiong felt very regretful when her mother looked at her like this. She hated herself for marrying a wife who made her mother seriously ill. She immediately wanted to hold Zhao Wan accountable.

Grandpa He Qi, on the other hand, was a bystander and saw the eye contact between Grandma He Qi and Doctor Li. He felt that something was wrong and frowned without saying a word.

Su Yan got angry when she heard He Qiong scolding Zhao Wan without knowing the truth. She immediately stepped forward to block Zhao Wan and looked He Qiong up and down. "So you are the extremely confused Uncle Jiu that the clan talked about. You don't even ask about the course of events and just want to convict someone. I don't think the county magistrate is as capable as you. He at least knows to summon the plaintiff and the defendant to give their own statements."

He Qiong was so angry at what Su Yan said that she became angry again, "What are you doing in our house as an outsider? I didn't pursue the matter of you and Zhao teaming up to bully my mother out of kindness, and you dare to slander me here."

Su Yan sneered, "I am slandering you, but today I finally saw why this Seventh Grandma dared to put the blame on her daughter-in-law in front of an outsider like me. It turns out that someone in the family is protecting her."

She looked at all the He family members in the room from left to right and said sarcastically, "You are really capable of bullying a daughter-in-law who married into the family. This is the upbringing of Grandpa He Qi's family. I have finally seen it today."

He Qiong was at a loss for words after being rebuked. She pointed at Su Yan and kept saying “you, you, you”, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.

It was because Grandpa He Qi was old and experienced that he realized that this matter was not that simple.

If they were family, then everything would be fine, but now there's an outsider like Su Yan here, and if they don't handle it properly, the He family's reputation in the clan will be ruined.
