Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Only then did Mrs. Lu realize that she had recommended the doctor, and now he had disappeared inexplicably, making her the biggest suspect. But this matter...

Lu raised her head slightly and made sure to look Shen Zongyuan in the eye. If she tried to avoid him even a little at this moment, she would be guilty. But in fact, Lu herself still didn't understand what was going on.

"It's true that I recommended that doctor, but I didn't harm Mother. I've been married to you for many years. If I really wanted to harm Mother, I wouldn't have waited until now. You don't have to look at me like that."

"The doctor you recommended couldn't diagnose your mother's poisoning, and now he's missing. Do you think you can remain unscathed?"

"What do you mean?"

"Go get another doctor, quickly."

Shen Zongyuan ignored Mrs. Lu and asked someone to invite another doctor to treat the disease. In fact, he hoped that Shen Nanyue had misdiagnosed the disease, so that his mother could still have a chance of survival and he would not have to fall out with the Lu family.

In the room, Shen Nanyan searched through everything edible, but found no clues. If she couldn't find the means of poisoning, she couldn't stop the other party from poisoning her. This meant that the old lady's condition would worsen. The old lady's current physical condition could no longer bear it. If she continued to be eroded by the poison, she would definitely die.

While everyone was outside, Shen Nanyan took out a silver needle and pierced the old lady's finger, took a drop of blood and then went into the Buddhist hall, avoiding Nanny Yin and gave the blood to Wu You.

In the yard, the servant from the small kitchen was beaten to a pulp but he still couldn't get any information out of him. The irritated Shen Zongyuan was about to speak when a doctor hurriedly walked in at the door.

After repeated diagnosis and treatment by the doctor, it was confirmed that the old lady was indeed poisoned. Shen Zongyuan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Can it be cured?"

"The poison has lasted too long, and has already seeped into the bone marrow. My medical skills are limited, and I'm afraid I can't do anything. I hope you will forgive me!"

Shen Zongyuan fell into the chair and did not speak for a long time.

He could accept that his mother was getting old and passing away, but he could not accept that it was in this way. The old lady was usually a very kind person, so how could she end up like this?

While Shen Zongyuan was silent, Lu had the doctor sent away. But just as she turned around, Shen Zongyuan slapped her in the face. This was the first time that Shen Zongyuan had used such a cruel hand. Lu flew out and everything on the table fell to the ground.

"mother!"

This scene was seen by Shen Lingxi who just came into the room. She rushed over in panic and hugged Lu.

"Dad, my mother is the mistress of the Shen family. How could you hit her like this?"

"Beat her? I'm also going to divorce her."

"What? Mom... W-What's going on?"

Mrs. Lu pushed Shen Lingxi away and stood up.

"Just because a doctor disappeared, you suspect I was the one who killed the old lady. Now the housekeeper is Concubine Lan, and the one who takes care of the old lady is Concubine Su. I only come here occasionally and have never brought her a bite of food. How did I poison the old lady, Shen Zongyuan, have you ever thought about it?"

"Then how do you explain that the doctor couldn't even diagnose poisoning?"

"How should I know? I just heard that he was a good doctor, and since we no longer have a doctor at home, I asked him to fill the vacancy."

"Isn't this your method?"

"Why would I harm the old lady? Even though she punished me, she has always been on the side of me, the wife. If you want to talk about harming someone, isn't your concubine Lan more likely to be the suspect?"

"Xin'er is pregnant. How could she do such a thing? Mrs. Lu, please stop being unreasonable."

"I……"

"Dad, it's not so important who the murderer is right now. If we don't find the method of poisoning, we can't prevent Grandma from being poisoned again. Let's ask the people in this yard to see if there's anything unusual. Also, please everyone, please leave. I want to try to save Grandma."

It’s not that Shen Nanyan doesn’t want to see them arguing, but Wu You has already found out the toxic ingredients. Shen Nanyan wants to give the old lady the medicine as soon as possible. One minute earlier means more hope.

When Shen Zongyuan heard Shen Nanyan say that she could be saved, her eyes lit up.

"What does Yan'er need? I'll have someone prepare it right away."

"Nothing is needed. Everyone, get out. No one is allowed to come in until I open the door."

"I...Okay, go out, everyone go out, let Nanny Yin help you here, or Caifu will do."

"No need for that, just go ahead."

Although he had some doubts about Shen Nanyue's medical skills, there was no other way at the moment. Shen Zongyuan could only choose to give it a try and silently look forward to it in his heart.

After everyone left, Shen Nanyan walked to the room and closed all the doors and windows. The room suddenly became pitch dark. At this moment, her whole body felt cold. Wu You appeared in front of her, bringing a lot of instruments with him. Shen Nanyan began to prepare medicine and give the old lady an IV. Wu You debugged the machine. The poison in the old lady had already entered her blood. Now all that could be done was hemodialysis to remove the toxic components in the blood.

In fact, Shen Nanyan could do all of this by herself, but because it was her first time, Wu You came out to help.

After two quarters of an hour, everything was ready. The next step was to wait. It would take at least two hours to completely purify the blood in the old lady's body.

"By the way, how come you can come out now? It's daytime."

It's already 3 p.m.

"But it's not dark yet!"

[It might be that man, his blood changed the rules, and you made the room so dark that I was able to get out.]

"So, royal blood does have some uses. What did you call him just now? That man... he's His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai. You can call him Prince of Huai, or Lu Jiusi."

【It’s easy to call a man. 】

"Whatever you say. By the way, what do you think about this?"

"Just sit and watch, big sister. I came back with you, and you didn't even wait for me to find out before you asked."

"I don't think Mrs. Lu is that stupid. If she wanted to poison someone, she wouldn't recommend a doctor herself to avoid suspicion."

[That's not certain. What if she thinks your family is full of idiots?]

"That makes sense. The matter was discovered. If it hadn't been exposed, then this trick would have worked. But Mrs. Lu said she didn't send any food. It's very likely that she bribed someone in the grandmother's courtyard. Otherwise, how could she have done it?"

[Mumbling... I'm leaving now. I'm a little sleepy. Just pack up the things later.]

"Don't sleep, go to Lu's place and keep an eye on it at night."

[I know, I know. Even though I'm a ghost, I still have to work like an ox or a horse. My life is worse than a dog's.]

Wu You left complaining, and the room instantly became a little warmer.

Shen Nanyan read a book while waiting for the hemodialysis to end. She waited until the midnight and her waist was almost broken.

At this time, the old lady's complexion was a little better than during the day, and the rise and fall of her chest was more obvious. Shen Nanyan felt relieved after taking her pulse again. She also sighed that Wu You's medicine and treatment methods were really effective. In such a short period of time, the old lady's condition had improved significantly.

After packing up all the things, when Shen Nanyue opened the door, it was already pitch black outside. A few lanterns were lit in the yard. Mrs. Lu was not there. Only Aunt Su was waiting with Shen Zongyuan in the dark.
