He An realized his intention and immediately grabbed Doctor Li's arms with both hands and pulled them back, using the strength of his body to hold him down.

In a flash, Su Yan ran over, grabbed the paper on the ground, and stepped back behind Grandmother He.

It all happened so fast that it was not until He An and Xiao Liu controlled Doctor Li that everyone realized what had happened.

The servants following the clan leader's wife hurried over and helped hold down Doctor Li, who was still moving and trying to struggle to his death.

The clan leader's wife and Grandmother He were so frightened that they took two steps back and had to be supported by the maids beside them to stand firmly.

After realizing what happened, the clan leader's wife immediately became furious, "What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the body?"

He then asked Grandpa He Qi, "Why, are you planning a rebellion? Are you going to kill all the women in this room one by one?"

These words were too harsh and Grandpa He Qi didn't dare to respond.

He Qiong was even more speechless.

For so many years, ever since she became the clan leader's wife, no one has ever been so presumptuous in front of her.

She had already sensed something was wrong when Imperial Physician Wang hesitated.

Although she was dissatisfied with He Qi's family, she still wanted to suppress it for the sake of the clan's reputation.

I didn't expect that before she could say anything, the other side grabbed it!

She didn't see whether He Qi gave the order or not, but she hadn't been eating for free these years, so she naturally knew why Doctor Li was working so hard.

It seems that the He Qi family is too careless. After making a mistake, they don't think about how to make up for it, and they keep making the same mistake again and again.

In that case, she doesn't need to be polite today, so as to prevent his family from committing any terrible disaster in the future.

"Doctor Wang, please take a look at what kind of prescription could have caused such a big fuss!"

Imperial Physician Wang nodded and took the prescription handed over by Su Yan.

He was invited here today by the clan leader's wife. He was doing her a favor, so naturally he had to follow her arrangements.

Moreover, he had just arrived in the county and would have to rely on the clan leader's family for many things in the future. Naturally, he would not go against the clan leader's wife on such matters.

These thoughts only lasted for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately picked up the prescription and looked at it.

You don’t know until you see it, and once you see it, you’ll feel that it’s as it should be.

This is not a cure at all, it is just a prescription for warming and nourishing the body.

Doctor Wang: "... This is not a prescription for curing any disease, it is a warming tonic. Um... Older people can drink some, it will help the body."

The clan leader's wife looked back at the He family. Grandpa He Qi was filled with shame, He Qiong was too embarrassed to know what to say, and He Ying was huddled nearby, not daring to speak.

Seeing Grandma He Qi still pretending to be unconscious even at this point, the clan leader's wife's face darkened completely.

"Since you don't accept me, please come and help me to make a decision." After saying that, she took a deep look at Grandma He Qi who was still lying still, "But when the time comes, the decision made by the elders will not be something I can influence."

Grandma He Qi wanted to continue to hold on, thinking what can you do to me if I don’t open my eyes?

But when he heard the clan leader's wife say this, his heart started beating fast and his hair stood on end.

The last woman to be judged by the clan elders was the Eighth Wife of the Eighth Household who murdered her stepson thirty years ago.

The Eighth Master was blinded by lust and was unwilling to divorce his wife even after knowing the truth. He was determined not to listen to the orders of the new clan leader's wife.

The clan leader's wife saw the situation and said nothing more. She simply invited the clan elders to hold a meeting.

As a result, when the clan elders arrived, not only the Eighth Madam, but even the Eighth Master was expelled from the clan.

No one in the tribe is not afraid of that thundering method.

During that period, not to mention the concubines in the clan, even the wives who were married into the clan were so honest that they dared not say a word.

For a while, there were no more reports of illegitimate sons dying in infancy or legitimate sons drowning in the family. The entire He family became quiet.

The clan leader's wife also gained great prestige because of this, and from then on she had the final say among the women in the clan.

However, she is not a cruel or mean person, and she would not do anything to other families at will.

Instead, he helped the orphans and widows in the tribe from time to time, and distributed porridge in the name of the tribe during festivals.

Therefore, over the years, everyone gradually forgot her methods and only regarded her as a kind and gentle old woman.

I didn't expect that after so many years, she would mention the clan elders' meeting again.

Not only was Grandma He Qi frightened out of her wits, but Grandpa He Qi and He Qiong were also terrified.

Grandpa He Qi quickly stepped forward to stop the clan leader's wife from leaving, begging, "Why is it so? Why is it so, sister-in-law?"

The clan leader's wife stopped and looked back at Grandpa He Qi, then her gaze shifted to Grandma He Qi in He Qiong's arms.

Grandma He Qi's body was shaking slightly, and cold sweat was pouring down her forehead. She could see what was happening with the naked eye, but she didn't open her eyes.

Seeing that she was still thinking of getting away with it, Grandpa He Qi became furious and went over to pull He Qiong away.

Grandma He Qi lost her support and was about to fall to the ground.

He screamed subconsciously, opened his eyes and held onto the ground.

When I finally reacted, I realized I was exposed.

She laughed awkwardly, looking at the faces of Grandpa He Qi and the clan leader's wife, both of whom looked like they were about to face a storm, and tried to explain herself, "Hey, I'm fine, haha, it must be that Doctor Li made a wrong diagnosis, I might not have had any problem in the first place. I just fainted due to my old age and poor health, it's not a big deal..."

Grandpa He Qi knew that the situation was beyond redress. If he pushed the blame onto others at this time, the clan leader's wife would only think that they were deliberately unrepentant, and she would not even lift a hand to let them go.

He immediately went up and slapped him, "Shut up!!!"

Grandma He Qi covered her face in disbelief. She had done a lot of stupid things over the years.

But Grandpa He Qi said that he had scolded her and ignored her, but never hit her.

Even at her old age, she was slapped in front of her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and outsiders.

She was furious and rushed over to scratch him, "How dare you hit me? I've been married to you for so many years, taking care of the housework and raising children for you, and now I'm old, and you dare to hit me?"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Grandpa He Qi was caught off guard and was scratched several times on the face by her.

He was also angry and blamed his deceased mother. How could she choose a wife for him?

He is so brainless and yet he dares to act so unreasonably.

He beat me? It’s better for him to beat me than to be punished by the tribe, right?

Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. Your family will never be at peace. Your family will never be at peace!
