Father Su was filled with anxiety and didn't know what to do.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Su Yanzhou walked in hurriedly, with beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously in a hurry, and said in an urgent tone,

"Dad, the medicinal herbs are gone now. Let's find another way."

After he finished speaking, he saw Su Yuejian standing beside him without saying a word. He walked to her with a distressed look on his face, patted her hand gently and comforted her not to worry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao hurriedly said, "But the old lady..."

There was a hint of false concern in her voice, but her eyes kept flickering.

Su Yanzhou turned around and glared at her coldly.

Although he was a civil servant, he was usually much more serious in dealing with people than Su's father. His look was so cold that Qiao was frightened and stood still. Her lips moved but she didn't say anything.

His voice was filled with unquestionable authority as he said coldly, "Since this doctor's medical skills are limited, please ask another doctor to see him."

Father Su nodded when he heard this, thinking that after so many years, maybe other people would have other ideas.

Su Xuewei said on the side, "Brother, how many famous doctors were invited to treat grandma's illness back then, but there was no other way, right?"

There was a hint of provocation in her tone, but there was a subtle nervousness in her eyes.

Su Yanzhou ignored her and shouted to the door, "Mo Wei, please let him in."

Mo Wei led the way, and Li Jingzhu followed him into the house, holding a few bags of medicinal herbs in his hands.

Father Su and the Qiao mother and daughter looked at the middle-aged man in front of them with confusion.

Su Yanzhou explained, "This is Doctor Li, the rejuvenation expert from Ji Medical Hall. Why not let him take your pulse?"

Li Jingzhu bowed politely to everyone.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Father Su's heart, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Doctor Li."

Li Jingzhu put down the herbs in his hand and stepped forward to take the patient's pulse.

Su Xuewei suddenly became nervous and clenched the handkerchief tightly in both hands, fearing that he would find out something.

Mrs. Qiao looked calm and gave her a look to reassure her.

Su's father and Su Yanzhou were waiting anxiously on the side.

Li Jingzhu was seen with a frown on his face and a serious expression.

Su Yanzhou asked, "Doctor Li, can my grandmother still be saved?"

Li Jingzhu shook his head slightly.

Su Xuewei and Qiao were secretly happy.

Su Yanzhou's face was filled with sorrow.

Father Su's heart was completely chilled, and his face showed despair.

At this moment, Li Jingzhu said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. The old lady is not sick, she just fell asleep."

what? !

This sudden news shocked the four of them.

Qiao's eyes widened and his brows furrowed tightly.

How could she not be sick? She had spent a lot of money to buy that poison.

The maid said she saw the old woman drink it with her own eyes.

“Not sick?!”

"But the doctor just said that grandma's old illness has relapsed and she is in critical condition."

Su Yanzhou asked doubtfully.

"The old lady is indeed not ill and is in very good health. I have been practicing medicine for over 20 years and I will never make a mistake in diagnosing whether she is ill or not."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else to come and see."

Father Su asked, "Then why is mother still unconscious?"

Li Jingzhu said, "The old lady just drank some tranquilizers and fell into a deep sleep. She will wake up soon."

Father Su's brows relaxed instantly, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Suddenly I realized something was wrong.

The father and son turned together and looked at the doctor with angry expressions.

Just as the doctor was about to sneak out the door, Su's father immediately called the servant to catch him.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, he knelt on the ground and cried,

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

Father Su shouted, "Speak! Why are you making such a random diagnosis and deceiving such fools?"

The doctor trembled with fear and stammered, "It's none of my business!"

"Someone sent me a message saying someone in his family is seriously ill. I heard that the Su family has rare and precious medicinal herbs. He asked me to come and see Old Madam Su. He gave me fifty taels of silver and told me to say that the old lady's old illness has relapsed. After the treatment is completed, he can share the rare herbs with me."

"I was also deceived for a moment, sir!"

Father Su flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table.

Su Yanzhou scolded,

"Who sent you this message?"

The doctor shook his head.

"I couldn't tell clearly because he had his face covered, but from the sound of his voice he was a middle-aged man."

He thought of something again and said excitedly,

"By the way, he has a red birthmark on the back of his left hand."

Qiao had just recovered from her shock, but when she heard these words, her heart began to beat fast and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Upon hearing this, Father Su's chest heaved with anger.

Who is so bold as to set his sights on the Grand Tutor's Mansion?

He ordered the servant to hand the man over to the authorities for investigation immediately.

He also repeatedly emphasized in a stern voice that he must tell the prefect that this matter must be investigated thoroughly!

Seeing that the person had been dragged away, Mrs. Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Xuewei was secretly resentful, and her face had become very ugly.

Didn’t my aunt say everything was arranged? How could this happen?

Mr. Su expressed his gratitude to Doctor Li repeatedly.

Qiao was confused, but still smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you so much, Doctor Li, for today. Otherwise, we would have all been deceived. It's also thanks to Master Yan Zhou that you invited us to see him."

"Your Excellency is too polite. It's just a coincidence that I'm here today. A few days ago, Miss Su ordered some medicinal herbs from me to research a recipe, and I'm here to deliver them."

As he said this, he brought the herbs over.

Father Su nodded and thanked him again.

Fortunately, it happened to happen today, otherwise something big would have happened.

Su Yanzhou looked at Su Yuejian in confusion.

Seeing that she remained silent, he frowned slightly.

"Father, since grandma is fine, let's let her have a good rest first."

Father Su nodded and said to the crowd outside,

"Don't tell anyone what happened today. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then he left Rong'an Hall.

Yuzhu whispered something in Su Yuejian's ear, and then helped Su Yuejian leave.

Su Yanzhou was seeing Li Jingzhu off from the house.

Yinxin called Li Jingzhu and said that the eldest lady had some questions about the medicinal diet recipe and wanted to ask Doctor Li for help, so she asked him to go to Wutongju.

Upon hearing this, Su Yanzhou also wanted to go with him. Yin Xin didn't dare to refuse and had to agree.

The three of them arrived at Wutongju.

Su Yuejian saw Su Yanzhou following him.

He was slightly startled and a little surprised.

Su Yanzhou felt something unusual.

The entire gate of Wutongju was closed, and there were no other servants in the courtyard.

Only Su Yuejian and Yuzhu were in the room.

And he clearly saw that Su Yuejian was surprised for a moment when she heard his voice.

He sat opposite her with a serious expression, silent.

Something is very wrong today.

The doctor's prescription was clearly going to kill her, and even he wasn't sure what his father would choose.

But she remained indifferent and not afraid at all.

And how come Li Jingzhu happened to meet him at the gate of the mansion today, as if she was waiting for him on purpose.

He is the owner of Ji Medical Hall, so there is no need for him to come in person for such a small matter as delivering medicine.

All the signs were very strange, and he always felt that everything that happened today was pulled by an invisible thread.

Su Yuejian naturally sensed his suspicion keenly.

He said, "What do you want to know, brother?"

Su Yanzhou asked in return, "What should I know?"

Su Yuejian smiled softly, it seemed that she could not hide it from him today.

"Does what happened to my grandmother today have anything to do with you?"

Su Yuejian put away her smile, and no emotion could be heard in her tone.

"Brother, do you doubt me?"

Su Yanzhou shook his head, "Of course not."

Su Yuejian raised her hand gently, "Yinxin. Bring the things to Doctor Li for a look."

Su Yanzhou was puzzled when he saw Yinxin bring out a bowl of medicine from the inner room and hand it to Li Jingzhu.
