Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Since that day, Xu Huilan has been claiming illness and staying home. This was not unexpected by everyone; after all, after such an incident, any normal person would feel ashamed to face others!

Xu Huilan had considered resorting to desperate measures like crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. But for some reason, she felt limp all over, even struggling to hold a cup of tea. Where would she find the strength to contemplate suicide?

Of course, her intention to commit suicide was fake; it was just to scare the people in the Mu household. But now she was completely powerless, and some things were beyond her control. With no other choice, she had to endure it a little longer and forcefully resort to the hunger strike.

"Miss, I've sent all the servants away. Please have some pastry and a drink of water. If you stay hungry like this, something bad might happen." The little maid was exceptionally loyal; her mistress had been hungry for two days, and if she continued to go hungry, something bad might really happen.

Xu Huilan didn't have much strength to begin with, and when she got hungry, she didn't even have the strength to speak. Now, after hearing what the little girl said, she immediately grabbed the pastries from the plate and started wolfing them down.

After eating two pieces, I almost choked. Luckily, the little girl handed me a cup of tea, which I quickly drank down, and I felt a bit better.

The young maid was clever; there were four or five kinds of pastries in the room, and she only took one piece from each plate for Xu Huilan. In this way, to an outsider at first glance, nothing seemed amiss.

However, the snacks were only changed once a day, meaning that Xu Huilan could only eat four or five snacks a day, along with some tea. Apart from the tonics that the old lady had sent over on the first day she woke up, she really hadn't taken anything else.

When Mu Xin Nuan brought the royal physician over, Xu Hui Lan had just cleansed her mouth and lay down again.

"Is Auntie feeling any better?" Mu Xin Nuan asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. But there are some things you are too young to understand. Now that my reputation is damaged, how can I get married?" Xu Huilan said, and then began to sob. These words were clearly meant for Mu Xin Nuan to say to Mu Chang An or Li Shi.

The young maid wasn't stupid. She quickly wiped away her tears, knelt down, and said, "Young Miss, please, please save my young lady! She hasn't eaten for two days. If anything really happens to her, please have mercy on her."

Mu Xin Nuan sneered inwardly, but her face remained incredibly gentle. "What are you doing? Get up quickly. I also heard that my aunt was ill, so I already sent someone to bring the family physician over. Don't rush. Let the family physician take a good look at her first."

Upon receiving the order, the physician stepped forward and began to take Xu Huilan's pulse. In just a short while, her complexion had become extremely pale!

"Physician, what's wrong? Could it be that my aunt's health has really deteriorated?"

"This?" The physician glanced at Xu Huilan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and then at the young lady. He was at a loss for what to do. There were some things that could not be said in front of the young lady.

Mu Xin Nuan was confused, but Granny Yu, who had come with her, also noticed something amiss and quickly said, "Miss, why don't we have someone invite Madam over? After all, you're young, and there are some things you don't understand."

Mu Xinnuan blinked, then looked at Xu Huilan on the bed. "Auntie's complexion does look rather unpleasant."

"Rongyue, go and invite Mother over. Tell her that Auntie is not feeling well and ask her to come over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Before long, Madam Li rushed over. She certainly knew what Xu Huilan was up to! She might be a little soft-hearted, but that didn't mean she was blind to everything! Xu Huilan hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the past two days—wasn't that all to force the master to take her as a concubine?

It was precisely because Li had guessed this that she had delayed coming to see her. But after hearing Rongyue's words today, she was afraid that Xu Huilan would talk nonsense in front of her daughter. After all, she was still a child, and it would be a shame if she were to be corrupted by her.

"What's going on?" As soon as they entered the room, they saw the royal physician there, while Mu Xin Nuan was sitting on an embroidered stool in front of the bed.

"Mother is here! The family physician just took my pulse and said that my cousin's health seems to be not good, but he is not comfortable to say it directly. Perhaps he is worried that there is no one in this house to make decisions, so I sent Rongyue to invite you over."

Li nodded, "You're so kind!" As she spoke, she didn't forget to glare at Xu Huilan on the bed!

This time, Madam Li was determined not to let Xu Huilan into the house! If the master had truly mistreated her, so be it. But in reality, the master would rather hurt himself than touch her, which was enough to show his feelings for her. Since that was the case, what did she have to worry about?

"Physician, please tell me, what's wrong with Miss Biao's health? Why hasn't she been able to eat these past two days?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huilan stiffened. This was clearly an attempt to attribute her hunger strike to poor appetite and physical discomfort. It seemed her sister-in-law wasn't going to give her a single chance.

"Reporting to Madam, Miss Xu's health was originally fine. However, these past two days, I don't know what she used, but it seems she damaged her vital energy. She initially inhaled some aphrodisiac fragrance, but as long as she rests properly and the effects wear off, she'll be fine. But perhaps Miss Xu's supplementation was improper, and it seems..."

The physician's hesitation made both Madam Li and Xu Huilan's hearts skip a beat!

Madam Li's expression turned serious. Instead of asking the family physician, she looked at Xu Huilan's personal maid and asked, "Tell me, what has Miss used these past few days?"

"Reporting to Madam, Miss has truly not taken anything these past two days; otherwise, how could she be so weak?"

The little maid was anxious; she couldn't possibly say that her mistress had secretly eaten the snacks!

Xu Huilan's mind raced. "Doctor, do you mean that my health started to decline two days ago?"

"Judging from the pulse, it will probably be in about two days."

Xu Huilan's body went limp. Two days? When she first woke up, she only had a bowl of herbal soup that her aunt had sent; she hadn't had anything else! Could it be...?

"Doctor, what do you mean by saying that you injured Aunt's body? Aunt just looks a little pale, she won't have any serious problems, will she?" Mu Xin Nuan pretended not to know.

“Reporting to Miss, if this injury damages a woman’s vital essence, it will likely make it difficult for her to have children in the future.”

Upon hearing the physician state these words clearly, Xu Huilan felt a tightness in her chest, a breath stuck in her throat, which caused her to faint!
