Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Situ Xiong frowned:

"Leave me alone? Does that mean leave me alone?"

Situ Yue said urgently:

“Father, you know perfectly well that’s not what I meant. Those things are just for entertainment, why bother dealing with them? Don’t you think so?”

Situ Xiong frowned as he looked at her:

"Situ Yue, did you ignore what I just said? I told you, the dead were the daughters of two high-ranking officials. Do you really want to keep those incriminating evidence so people can use it against you?"

"Besides, you just said that you wanted to deal with Yu Shuyan. Regardless of how she escaped, and the fact that she dared to kill two daughters of officials, it means that she is not a simple person."

Situ Yue snorted coldly:

"I knew it! Birds of a feather flock together. Anyone who's with that weirdo Yuan Niangzi is no good. She's lucky this time, but next time, I'll definitely kill her!"

Situ Xiong took a deep breath:

“You, the daughter of a prime minister, are lowering yourself by arguing with these country women.”

Situ Yue gritted her teeth:

"A woman who doesn't dare show her face at all. Acting mysterious and like a miracle doctor, trying to seduce Ziyu, she's just asking for death!"

Disappointment flashed in Situ Xiong's eyes:

"I knew it! It must be because of Bai Ziyu. I've told you so many times, you can choose any kind of man in the entire Dayong Dynasty. But Bai Ziyu is the one you can't have!"

Situ Yue became anxious:

"Why? Why, Father? Bai Ziyu is outstanding in every way—family background, character, and even academic achievement. He's the perfect match for me!"

"I don't want anyone but him!"

Situ Xiong angrily said:

"Confused!"

"I'm asking you, when you were in the study with Bai Ziyu today, did you notice anything unusual?"

Situ Yue was puzzled:

"Something's wrong?"

However, he quickly realized what Situ Xiong was talking about.

He frowned suddenly:

"Yes, Father, Ziyu and I had just entered the study when we felt unbearably hot all over and dizzy. But I don't remember what happened after that."

"However, Butler Wang said that I was found tied up in the room next to your study."

"Father, someone is definitely plotting against me."

Situ Xiong nodded:

"Do you even need to tell me? You should be thinking about who wants to scheme against you, and what they want to scheme against you for!"

Situ Yue paused, pondered for a long time, and then her eyes suddenly lit up:

"It's her, yes, it must be her!"

Situ Xiong frowned:

"What did you think of?"

Situ Yue said hurriedly:

"When I took Ziyu into the study, I saw a maid acting suspiciously in your study."

She was cleaning the room. At the time, I felt something was off about her, but I didn't think about it carefully. Now, thinking about it, it just seems stranger.

"Father, hurry up and send someone to catch that bitch! Once we catch her, we'll know why she schemed against me and Ziyu!"

Disappointment flashed in Situ Xiong's eyes:

"You know she drugged you and plotted against you. Do you think she'll stay here and wait for us to arrest her?"

Situ Yue frowned:

"Ran?"

Butler Wang nodded:

"Yes, Miss. After discovering the medicinal powder in the incense burner, I investigated and found that the servants in the master's study were missing. I discovered that a maid named Suo'er was missing."

Situ Yue gritted her teeth in anger:

"Have you investigated? Do you have any leads on this bitch? For example, does she have any family or friends? Arrest them all and give her a good beating. I refuse to believe we can't find any clues about her!"

Butler Wang shook his head:

"I've investigated, but there's absolutely no trace of her. Even the servants in the manor have no recollection of her. She's like a shadow, completely invisible. All we know is that she was sold to the manor by a human trafficker three years ago. Nothing else. I even investigated this human trafficker, and found that such a person doesn't exist! So...sigh!"

Situ Yue cursed in disappointment:

"That bitch, she really planned this all along! Luckily she ran fast, otherwise, I would have definitely made her pay for her life."

I couldn't die, I wanted to die but couldn't. However, this way, I'll never know why she plotted against me and Ziyu.

As she spoke, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face, as if she had remembered something.

Looking at her, Situ Xiong sighed:

"Situ Yue, you really disappoint me. Are you thinking that if you and Bai Ziyu had just slept together, things would have been fine?"

Situ Yue blushed even more:

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Situ Xiongqi said:

"Why do you lose your mind the moment you're around Bai Ziyu? Think about it, why would someone go to such lengths to drug you and Bai Ziyu, to make you... Think about it carefully."

Situ Yue frowned:

"Father, do you mean that if I get together with Bai Ziyu, it will be detrimental to us?"

Situ Xiong then sighed with disappointment:

"The fact that they can think of this shows that it's not beyond saving."

"Do you know how lucky you are that nothing happened to you today? If something had really happened to you, and everyone had found out..."

"Then, soon, news will spread throughout Lingjin City, and even the entire Dayong, that I, Situ Xiong, have gone so far as to drug my daughter and Bai Ziyu in order to strengthen my own power and make them consummate their marriage, thereby gaining the support of the Bai family and plotting against the emperor's authority."

"You know, given the emperor's suspicious and ruthless nature, even if he doesn't touch me for the time being, once this seed of suspicion is planted..."

"Then, everything I do from now on will be scrutinized and suspected by him. Sooner or later, this seed will grow into a towering tree in the emperor's heart, making him so disgusted that he will take action against me. At best, I will lose Wusha; at worst, I will bring about the destruction of my entire clan."

"Do you understand!"

Situ Yue froze upon hearing his words, her face turning extremely pale. After a long while, she tentatively said:

"Father, do you mean that it's really impossible for Ziyu and me?"

Situ Xiong stared straight into her eyes and said, word by word:

"No way!"

Situ Yue's face turned pale instantly, and she seemed unable to even stand up straight.

He swayed, as if he had lost his soul, his eyes unfocused.

Butler Wang looked at Situ Xiong with concern and whispered:

"Prime Minister, I'll call for reinforcements!"

Situ Xiong waved his hand:

"No need. Let her think about it carefully and slowly. If she can't figure it out, there will be plenty of trouble later."

Steward Wang nodded respectfully, took a step back, and looked at Situ Yue with concern.

After a while.

Situ Yue suddenly came to her senses, as if she had figured something out, and a resolute look appeared in her eyes:

"Father, I've got it!"

Situ Xiong sensed that her reaction was not quite right, and frowned as he probed:

"What are you thinking about?"
