The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

The news that Huo Beixuan was suspended from his job and suspected of taking Wu Shi San spread quickly to Huo's father's ears.

Upon hearing this, Huo's father became extremely anxious and immediately summoned Huo Beixuan to his side, intending to find out what was going on.

"Didn't Ning Xue say that the poison she gave you was a cold poison? How come it has turned into Wushisan now?"

Father Huo's eyes were wide open and his voice was trembling with anger. He knew very well that Wu Shi San was a drug that was banned by the imperial court. If it was verified to be true, he would be inevitably dismissed from his official position.

Huo Beixuan's eyes dodged and he said nonsense: "Father, my wife is unreasonable and only wants to control me, so..."

"Confused! Absolutely confused!"

Father Huo was so angry that he slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table shook a few times. He frowned and was full of anxiety, thinking about what would happen to his future and family reputation if he was dragged down by this rebellious son.

At this moment, Mr. Huo was only thinking about how to distance himself from Huo Beixuan so as to avoid being implicated.

"Father, is there any room for recovery in this matter?" There was a slight tremor in Huo Beixuan's voice as he looked at his father expectantly.

Father Huo shook his head helplessly and said, "Perhaps you can ask your father-in-law to see if he can come up with a solution."

Huo Beixuan couldn't help but snort in his heart. He and Ning Xue were so incompatible, how could Ning Xue be willing to let her father-in-law help her? But on the surface, he still responded: "Then I'll find a chance to ask."

Then, Huo Beixuan took out five taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to Huo's father, and said, "This is the money I borrowed for my last medical consultation. I won't bother my mother anymore. I'll just give it to you, father."

He thought to himself that even if Huo's father mentioned this to Huo Beixuan's mother, he would only talk about the money for the medicine and not the specific amount. In this way, in the eyes of his parents, he would no longer owe the money.

Father Huo took the silver, forced out a trace of fake concern on his face, and asked: "The Wushisan is very addictive, is there any way to cure it?"

"My wife asked me to go to her clinic for treatment and said it's free." Huo Beixuan replied calmly.

Father Huo nodded and put the silver into his pocket.

"You two are so creative in doing things. Aren't you worried about being implicated, Lord Shangshu?" Father Huo's words were full of worry and uncertainty about the future.

Huo Beixuan suddenly looked up at his father, and a light bulb suddenly lit up his mind. That's right! Ning Xue's clinic has Wushisan. Isn't she afraid of implicating the Shangshu Mansion? Thinking of this, he thought that perhaps this was an opportunity to regain his father-in-law's trust, so he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Huo Beixuan came to the Shangshu Mansion with a nervous mood. When the doorman saw that it was him, he let him in.

Led by the housekeeper, he came to the side hall in the backyard.

Huo Beixuan was full of doubts. He was clearly here to see his father-in-law, so why did the housekeeper bring him to the backyard?

Before he could figure it out, Ning's mother came out.

Huo Beixuan quickly saluted.

Since getting married, Ning's mother has never treated him well. This time when Ning's mother comes to see him, it must be nothing good.

"Mother-in-law." Huo Beixuan spoke cautiously.

Mother Ning did not respond, but looked him up and down, her eyes revealing scrutiny and questioning, "People outside are saying that you took Wu Shi San, but I see that you are in good spirits, right?"

Huo Beixuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Should he tell the truth or continue to make up lies? He was extremely conflicted.

"What a coincidence! Xue'er and you returned to the Shangshu Mansion one after the other. But she is in her room now. I invited the imperial physician from the palace to treat her and see if the poison you gave her can be cured!"

Ning's mother's tone was icy cold, and every word she said pierced Huo Beixuan like an icicle.

When Huo Beixuan heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted. He raised his head abruptly, his face full of disbelief. Ning's mother actually knew about this!

Mother Ning looked at Huo Beixuan's shocked expression, smiled coldly, and said, "Do you think that you are the only one allowed to tell Xue'er's father about something, but I am not allowed to do the same?"

"I haven't asked the imperial physician to find out the result yet. Once there is a conclusion, it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to go see Xue'er's father together." Ning's mother said indifferently, her eyes full of threats.

Huo Beixuan's palms were full of sweat, and his heart was filled with fear and panic. If the fact that he had given Ning Xue sterilization powder and cold poison was leaked out, he knew very well that he would not be able to leave the Shangshu Mansion safely today.

Moreover, if Ning Xue's loss of virginity were to be made public, and Ning's parents knew that he had stood by and watched, the consequences would be disastrous and the situation would be extremely bad.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts intertwined in Huo Beixuan's mind, making him confused and at a loss.

Mother Ning looked coldly at Huo Beixuan, whose expression was changing constantly, and said indifferently: "If I were in your position, I would leave on my own right now. In this way, perhaps everyone can save face a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Huo Beixuan did not hesitate and hurriedly said goodbye and fled as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him.

As soon as he left the backyard, Ning Xue slowly walked out of the room and came to the side hall.

"Mother." Ning Xue called softly.

Mother Ning snorted coldly, her face gloomy, "You still remember that I am your mother? Why didn't you tell me when you had something to say?"

Ning Xue lowered her head and remained silent, like a child who had done something wrong.

"What? Are you still blaming me? Take a good look at what kind of person Huo Beixuan is? Do you still expect me to congratulate you for marrying such a man?" Ning's mother's tone was full of anger and disappointment.

"I'm sorry, mother. I was blind and made the wrong choice." Ning Xue apologized to her mother sincerely, her eyes full of regret.

"Forget it. I asked you to come back not to teach you a lesson! Wait a moment, and I will let the imperial physician come to treat you!" After all, Ning's mother felt sorry for her daughter, so her tone softened a little and she was no longer blaming her so harshly.

"You can deal with Huo Beixuan however you want. Your mother supports you, so just go ahead and do it!" A trace of resentment flashed in Ning's mother's eyes.

She never expected that Huo Beixuan would dare to treat her daughter like this. If she had known this, she would have fought with Ning's father to the end, even if it meant divorce, and would never let her daughter fall into this fire pit.

Not long after, the imperial physician hurried over. After taking Ning Xue's pulse, the imperial physician's expression was very solemn. He said he would go back and study it carefully.

At present, he has not been able to give a definite answer to the detoxification method for cold poison, but he said that the sterilization powder might be tried by finding the pregnancy grass to treat it.

When Ning's mother heard this, she was so angry that she lost her composure and slammed the table in anger. She originally thought it was just an ordinary cold poison, but she didn't expect that even the imperial physician found it difficult to treat.

Where on earth did Huo Beixuan get such a vicious drug? And the sterilization powder, Huo Beixuan could be so cruel and ruthless to use such a sinister method, it was really unexpected!

Mother Ning was so angry that her heart ached. "Xue'er, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? You really want to piss me off to death!"

Ning Xue listened to her mother's scolding, slowly lowered her head, her heart full of guilt.

It was not until this moment that she realized that her mother had always cared deeply about her.
