After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Chapter 178: Life for a Life, It's the Same Everywhere

"mutual affection?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't help laughing when she heard this. "Eighteen years ago, you slapped me in the face and the face of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Have you forgotten?"

"Have you forgotten how you treated me and my two children in the past eighteen years?"

Lu looked him up and down with disdain, "If you have lost your memory, I suggest you go see a doctor to check your brain."

She had always been a vicious person. Bai Yanlang's face turned red after being scolded. He gritted his teeth and asked, "I have done everything wrong to you in the past, but Yaoyao is still a child. Are you really going to watch her die without helping her?"

"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."

Lu sneered, turned around and went back to her room, slammed the door, and bolted it with a click.

Since the Lu family refused to help, Bai Yanlang couldn't think of any other solution and could only pace back and forth anxiously.

"Jiannan——"

"roll!!!"

Before Bai Yanlang could even utter the words of plea, a shrill roar of a lion was heard from the room.

This was completely impossible for the Lu family, so Bai Yanlang gritted his teeth and went to Bai Youyou's yard.

However, the yard was very quiet, with only an old lady sweeping the fallen leaves in the corner.

"Where's your lady?"

Mrs. Ding stopped sweeping her broom and said in a hoarse voice, "Our young lady went out with the young lady from the Zhao family."

"Where did you go?" Bai Yanlang frowned.

Mrs. Ding shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Girls, don't you know how to stay at home and learn the ways of a woman? You're always away from home!"

Bai Yanlang cursed as he walked. Mrs. Ding waited until he was far away, then she held the broom and spat at his back, "Bah, you have no conscience!"

Bai Youyou was not far from the Jianjia Courtyard. She and Zhao Qianqian hid in the corner, looking at the courtyard furtively.

Xiaoju has gone out to ask Xiaoyuanzi for information.

Not long after, Xiaoju came over in a hurry, shouting, "Miss, something bad has happened!"

"what happened?"

She looked anxious, and Bai Youyou's heart sank.

"Xiao Yuanzi said that the master went to see the mistress and asked her to ask Dr. Pang to come and treat the fifth young lady."

"My father went to see my mother?"

Afraid that Bai Yanlang would go crazy and make things difficult for Lu, Bai Youyou held up the hem of her skirt and took a shortcut as she quickly ran towards Fangfei Garden.

On the other side, Bai Yanlang was walking on the corridor, and the two passed each other perfectly.

Bai Youyou walked quickly while asking Xiaoju: "What's wrong with Bai Yaoyao?"

"Xiao Yuanzi said that some kind of cold poison had entered her body, and some kind of poison had entered her uterus. She only had two hours to live."

Xiaoju’s words scared both Bai Youyou and Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian panted and said, "Isn't it just irregular menstruation? Why is it so serious?"

"It's not menstrual irregularity at all, it's poison." Bai Youyou thought of Aunt Li's words, her expression cold, "It was Aunt Qiao who originally planned to poison me!"

"I go!"

Zhao Qianqian paused for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him. She stared at him with her big, clear eyes, with a look of disbelief on her face, "How dare your aunt be so brave!"

Killing someone means paying with your life, it's the same everywhere.

Her father's concubines were all subdued by her mother, and the illegitimate sons and daughters in the family also followed the family rules and dared not overstep the line.

Since the second wife of Yongning Marquis - Bai Youyou's father - was well-known for favoring his concubine over his wife, Zhao Qianqian could understand why the aunt took advantage of her favor and did such a despicable thing.

She sighed quietly, "If there are no rules, there will be no peace in the house."

"Humph, they are more than just brave. On New Year's Eve, Bai Yaoyao jumped into the water by herself, causing the eldest young master's concubine to have a miscarriage. Then she wrongly accused my young lady of pushing her."

Xiao Ju was so indignant that he didn't even bother to address her. "On the second day of the month, Bai Mulin's aunt came to our lady to tell her that Aunt Qiao had ordered the maidservants around her to poison our young lady."

Xiaoju talked a lot about asking Doctor Pang to come for a consultation in the middle of the night, which made Zhao Qianqian feel disgusted.

"This Aunt Qiao's methods are very ordinary."

"Don't underestimate her." Bai Youyou kept walking and glanced at Zhao Qianqian. "Her methods are more than what you see."

"How can such a low-level poisoning method be so brilliant?"

Zhao Qianqian didn't care.

This kind of low-level method can solve the case as long as the person who poisoned the food is caught and the mastermind behind it is forced out. How difficult can it be?

"I don't have time to tell you now, you will know later."

Bai Youyou held her breath and went to Fangfei Garden. Cuizhu was hanging up the kitchen rags that had just been washed in the yard.

"Miss, Miss Zhao."

"Sister Cuizhu, my father didn't come?"

Bai Youyou looked around.

The yard was very quiet. Lu's door was closed, but no sound of talking could be heard from inside.

"The master came here and just left again."

Cuizhu smiled slyly, "He wanted Madam to ask Doctor Pang to save the Fifth Miss, but Madam ridiculed him and he ran away in shame."

When Lu heard Bai Youyou's voice in the room, she quickly opened the door, walked out of the room, and waved to the three people, "Cuizhu has made brown sugar tea, you all come in quickly."

Bai Youyou also had her period today and her stomach was aching slightly.

Aunt Qiao has been counting the days on her fingers these days. In the mornings, she is still looking forward to bad news from Fangfei Garden.

But the result was different from what she expected. It was not Fangfei Garden that brought the bad news, but her Weirui Xuan.

There was nothing the Lu family could do, and Bai Youyou couldn't find anyone either. Time passed by minute by minute, and Bai Yanlang was so anxious that sweat was coming out of his forehead.

"How could Madam be so cruel? Yaoyao also called her mother, how could she just stand by and watch her die?!"

Aunt Qiao's hair was disheveled, her hands tightly grasped his collar, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "Husband, please think of a solution!"

Bai Yanlang was at a loss as to what to do when he saw Bai Yaoyao lying unconscious on the bed with her chest rising and falling very weakly.

Bai Mulin thought of what Bai Yaoyao had told him about her relationship with the Crown Prince. He walked over to Bai Yanlang and said, "Dad, since mother is so cruel and won't save me, you should go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yaoyao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have some feelings for each other. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to help, Doctor Pang would not dare not come!"

Aunt Qiao was in a state of confusion when she heard the bad news. She also thought of the prince. She pulled Bai Yanlang's sleeve and said anxiously, "My husband, please go quickly. Yaoyao can't wait any longer!"

She bought the medicine from a private doctor. In order to verify its effectiveness, she once tried it on a concubine of the Qiao family.

The drug is extremely potent. Even if the person is saved, he will most likely be useless.

Aunt Qiao is full of regret now.

If she had known Chunliu was so incompetent, she should have gone there herself!

"I'll try."

Bai Yanlang gritted his teeth, ordered Li He to harness the carriage, and hurried to the Eastern Palace.
