Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Cui Liu was frightened by Aunt Liu's words.

In my ears, I heard Aunt Liu's low warning voice: "Don't forget your younger brother."

Cui Liu is a house-born child, and her younger brother works on a farm in the countryside.

The life of a slave is worthless.

She was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, and her lips trembled. "Because of the old lady's punishment, my sister died of illness. It was because of the resentment in my heart that I did the wrong thing."

"Master, please spare my life!"

"Spare your life!"

Su Tinggui wanted to go forward and kick him a few times, but unfortunately his legs were not convenient, so he picked up the crutch at his side and swung it over.

"Snapped!"

A heavy blow fell on Cui Liu's head, and the blood on her head flowed down her hair. "Come here, drag this slave out, give her twenty strokes of the cane, and sell her off."

If a maid from a wealthy family was sold, her fate would usually be miserable.

Cui Liu's face turned pale as paper, and she cried, "Master, please spare my life, please spare my life."

"Madam Liu, save this servant, save this servant!"

Aunt Liu flung her sleeves in disdain and scolded, "You lowly maid, you did such a wrong thing and yet you dare to beg for mercy."

Cui Liu was dragged out, and after a while, miserable screams were heard from the yard.

Old Madam Qian listened with a wave of palpitations in her heart. She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and move them away. All of you, please leave."

The rest of the people went out one after another.

"aunt……"

Aunt Liu felt guilty, so she walked to the bed and reached out to hold Madam Qian's hand.

Unexpectedly, Madam Qian shook her hand and avoided her touch.

"Aunt, it's my fault."

Concubine Liu lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and said, "It was because of my carelessness that that lowly maid took advantage of me. It's my fault."

"Aunt, can you forgive me?"

"Humph!"

Old Madam Qian snorted coldly, looked up at Aunt Liu, and said coldly, "She's just a lowly servant. How could she really be so bold?"

"Aunt, you...what do you mean?"

Aunt Liu was so frightened that she stuttered, "Are you doubting me?"

"You know clearly whether you have done it or not!"

Madam Qian looked at Aunt Liu coldly, "I have always loved you since we were little. I never thought that I would end up like this."

"Aunt, you must have misunderstood me."

Aunt Liu was anxious and knelt on the ground. "How could I hurt you?"

"The matter of the celadon vase, the emotional damage, isn't that hurtful?"

"Aunt, you've been dissatisfied with me because of the vase incident, so you suspect me?"

Aunt Liu was stubborn and refused to admit that she had ordered Cui Liu to do bad things.

Old Madam Qian knew that she had no evidence either.

But after raising him for so many years, he ended up being an ungrateful person. She couldn't help feeling disappointed and waved her hand, "I'm tired, everyone get out."

Aunt Liu wanted to explain.

Old Madam Qian lay down, covered herself with the quilt, and turned sideways, leaving her no chance at all.

Aunt Liu stood there, not knowing how to start. She simply stomped her feet and hurried back to Lanxin Garden.

Once I was back in my room, I thought about it.

The old lady became suspicious of her.

Cui Liu can't stay.

What if she lets go...

……

Following Ye Mo's instructions, Wu Xiaowen took time out of his busy schedule to come to the Su Mansion and went straight to Nishang Courtyard to take Lin's pulse.

As he entered the room, he was startled by the cold stone in front of the bed.

Ye Mo was so brave that he cut off such a big piece of the ice stone from the Princess's Mansion and sent it to the Su Mansion.

With the Ice Stone at his side, the toxins in Lin's body should be completely suppressed.

Perhaps, she could hold on until the day he successfully refined the antidote.

He put his hand on Lin's wrist and withdrew his hand in shock.

Nanny Li beside her asked in panic, "Master Wu, how is Madam's health?"

"Why is she unconscious? What happened?"

She clearly still had twenty days to live, but after not seeing her for a few days, the toxins in her body could not be controlled and she fell ill in the last few days.

Even if the Ice Stone is here, her life span will not exceed five days.

Taohong recounted the many things that happened when she returned home, no matter how big or small, and said angrily, "Madam was irritated by them."

Wu Xiaowen withdrew his hand and said calmly: "Follow the previous prescription and boil the medicine and feed it to him."

"Yes!"

"Where is your daughter?"

"The girl went to Tingyue Tower to keep an appointment with His Royal Highness Prince Qi." Taohong told the truth.

Wu Xiaowen frowned.

Your Highness is ridiculous.

The young lady's mother is in critical condition.

He also invited people to drink tea and play chess.

How could she be in the mood?

"Okay, if your daughter comes back, tell her to go to Huichun Hall when she's free. There are some things I need to tell her personally."

"Don't worry, sir. I will inform the young lady immediately."

Wu Xiaowen left Nishang Courtyard and headed towards the main gate.

On the way, Su Tinggui came hurriedly with a cane.

"Mr. Wu, please stay."

Wu Xiaowen turned around and looked at Su Tinggui, "Master Su, what's the matter?"

Su Tinggui bowed, "Master Wu, to be honest, yesterday, my mother accidentally ate ginseng, safflower, and other things, which caused a rash all over her body and frequent vomiting."

"After that, she kept having nosebleeds and almost lost her life."

"Master Wu..."

Su Tinggui smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Wu is a highly skilled doctor. It just so happens that he is visiting my Su Mansion today. I hope Mr. Wu can move to Yixiang Garden and examine my mother."

"Ginseng?"

Wu Xiaowen also laughed, "I'm afraid it's not ordinary ginseng? It should be a hundred-year-old ginseng, right?"

"I remember that this year, the only hundred-year-old ginseng in all the medicine halls in the capital was given to Miss Su by me."

"That ginseng is Lin's life-saving medicine, why did Madam Qian take it by mistake?"

"Accidental ingestion?"

Wu Xiaowen deliberately emphasized these two words, a smile on his lips, "Such a good ginseng, it's not a rotten carrot that's everywhere, how could it be taken by mistake?"

Wu Xiaowen's brief words made Su Tinggui's face flush with embarrassment.

"Master Wu," he was a court official with no background, and there was no need for him to be humble in front of a doctor.

The Wu family has a strong background, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are not easy to mess with.

He had to lower his attitude and said, "My mother suddenly felt unwell, so I borrowed half a hundred-year-old ginseng."

For his mother, Su Tinggui also risked his life, "Please, Master Wu, please move over and examine my mother. We will definitely pay more for the consultation."

"Master Su, do you think that the Wu Mansion, Master Wu, is short of that little bit of money?"

Wu Xiaowen didn't even want to pay attention to him, "Today, I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Qi to diagnose Lin's pulse."

"The pulse diagnosis is complete. My mission is accomplished. I will return immediately to report."

"As for Lord Su's invitation to diagnose Madam Qian's pulse..."

Wu Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I never take a woman's pulse."

After saying this, he strode out.

Do not take a woman's pulse.

Isn’t Lin a woman?

What a crude excuse.

Su Tinggui was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
