After acupuncture treatment for Yunying, she had already fallen asleep. Doctor Li walked aside and said, "It will take about a quarter of an hour before the needles can be removed. By then, the medicine will be almost ready."

"Ah."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the yard outside.

"Is the young lady here?"

Although Shuang Ning had just arrived, she was still quite perceptive. As soon as she saw the man's aura and age, she had guessed that he must be the nanny who served the old lady.

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to see Miss, Madam?"

The nanny pushed Shuang Ning away and said, "It seems she is here. The old lady asked the eldest lady to go to Cuihuaju." After saying that, she prepared to walk into the room.

Chu Qianyu was afraid that she would disturb her mother, so she came out and looked at her and said, "The doctor is treating mother right now and can't leave for the time being. Please go back and tell grandmother that I will be here soon."

Nanny Wang looked at her weak appearance and said with disdain, "Humph! The eldest lady is becoming more and more rude. She even has the reason to ask the old lady to wait for the younger generation. If the general comes back and finds out..."

"Father would understand if he knew. Yesterday, the doctor came to check mother's pulse and found that mother was severely poisoned. It was all done by Madam Man. And today, the doctor came to give mother acupuncture, and father also knew about it. Please go back and report to grandmother first."

"You..." Nanny Wang didn't expect that the young lady, who usually cried after a few words, could finish these words calmly today. And every word was irrefutable.

Then he snorted coldly and said, "Then please be prepared, Miss. If the old lady gets angry, it will be troublesome." After saying that, he rolled his eyes and turned away.

Chu Qianyu looked at Nanny Wang's receding back with deep eyes, and said to Shao Ying beside her: "Nanny Wang's temper is not suitable for serving the old lady. You handle it." After saying that, she turned around and went back to the room.

Shao Ying responded and quickly walked out of the yard.

When she returned to the room, Yunying had already gotten up. She looked at Chu Qianyu who was walking over and asked, "But Nanny Wang, who was beside your grandmother, is here?"

"Yeah. Was mother woken by her?"

"Some. Did she ask you to come here because the old lady asked you to come?" Yunying asked with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll go over there when you're better. There's no rush."

As he was talking, Doctor Li had already stepped forward and started to take out the needle. Chu Qianyu stood by and watched him carefully.

"You, when you go there later, why don't you ask the maid beside you to look for your father. If your grandmother makes things difficult for you, your father should also..."

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter knows everything."

"That's good."

It just so happened that the medicine had already been boiled. Shuangning brought it in and then served Yunying to drink it.

Chu Qianyu then said, "Then mother, have a good rest. I will go to grandmother's place after sending Doctor Li out. I will come to see you later."

Yunying nodded and said, "If you can't win the argument, just keep silent. Anyway, they don't dare to do anything to you."

"My daughter knows."

Then they left the house. Chu Qianyu looked at Shuang Ning and said, "You stay here to take care of Madam. Shao Ying will just follow me later."

"Yes, Miss." Shuang Ning agreed.

Chu Qianyu took Doctor Li to the outside of the mansion, and then walked slowly towards Cuihuaju. On the way, she happened to see Shaoying coming back. She just nodded.

The two of them were in perfect sync and didn't say a word.

It didn't take long to reach Cuihuaju.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a lot of people standing outside. Upon closer inspection, they were all the people she brought back from Mingyuexing.

Chu Qianyu snorted coldly upon seeing this, then calmed herself down, and when she looked over again, she appeared to be a gentle, polite, and well-mannered young lady.

She walked slowly towards the room, and Shaoying stepped forward to open the curtain.

After entering, he saw that there were already many people sitting in the room. Chu Qianyu took a quick look and then stepped forward to salute the old lady.

The old lady sat at the head of the table and looked at Chu Qianyu, showing no intention of letting anyone get up. She was just about to take a sip of tea.

I wanted her to stand for a while longer, but she stood up and said, "I hope you can forgive me, grandma. I accidentally scalded my legs with hot water when I went out. If I stand any longer, I'm afraid I'll fall to the ground. I'm afraid it will scare you."

Shao Ying stepped forward at the right time and helped Chu Qianyu walk to an empty seat nearby and sit down.

This made the old lady very angry. Her face suddenly darkened. She then put the cup heavily on the table and said angrily: "Chu Qianyu! But Madam Man is gone. You think that you and your son are the masters of this house, right? Don't forget that I am still here. I am a second-rank imperial lady granted by the current emperor. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"

"You haven't come to pay your respects in a few days. Have you forgotten all the etiquette? Go kneel down and pay your respects to me!"

Chu Qianyu lowered her head as if she didn't hear it.

The old lady turned around angrily and looked around, then shouted, "Where's Nanny Wang? Didn't Nanny Wang go out to look for that bastard just now? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Oh, mother, Qianqian is really different now. She doesn't listen to what you say." Second wife Li Jing shook her head and added fuel to the fire.

"Grandmother, you are too arrogant now. Don't you know that my grandson went to find her yesterday and was knocked unconscious by her? Later, the servants found him in time and carried him back." Chu Xiaozhu pointed at Chu Qianyu and said viciously. Although she fainted suddenly yesterday and no one knew what happened, there were only the two of them there at that time, so it must have something to do with Chu Qianyu.

Chu Xiaozhu looked at Chu Qianyu with red eyes. She learned that her mother had been murdered when she woke up in the morning. So she came to the old lady crying. It took a lot of effort to calm down. Seeing her reminded her of her mother again. Thinking about it, tears flowed again.

Chu Qianyu seemed a little bit unbelievable when she heard this, and then looked at Chu Xiaozhu with some grievance and said: "How can Second Sister frame me like this? I didn't see you at all yesterday. Where did you run into me? I was in mother's room taking care of her yesterday."

These words stunned Chu Xiaozhu, who was sobbing, and she immediately began to doubt whether she had seen it wrong yesterday.

Just as she was stunned, a servant came running in and said, "Madam, something bad has happened. Nanny Wang tripped and fell beside the rockery while walking just now. She has fainted and her leg looks like it's broken."

"What?" The old lady stood up suddenly when she heard this.

"Madame Wang has been carried to the courtyard by the servants. Do you want to go and see her?"

"Go and take a look." The old lady said and walked towards the door.

When she came out and saw Nanny Wang's appearance, she was so frightened that she staggered, her voice trembling slightly, "How did he fall so badly? What happened? Go get a doctor first! Quick!"

Wang Ma's head was covered in blood, and her clothes at the knees were a little worn out as if they had hit a rock, and her legs were bloody.

The old lady then seemed to remember something and turned to look at Chu Qianyu who was standing behind her and was about to question her.

I saw her face turned pale as if she was frightened, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Shao Ying behind her was quick enough to support her, so she didn't fall.

He snorted and turned back to the room. Everyone followed him in.

After the old lady sat down, she looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Madame Wang just came to see you, why did this happen for no reason on the way back?"
