The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Wang Yuemei forcefully flung her hand away. Madam Ge staggered two steps from the impact.

A slightly younger woman behind Wang Yuemei said, "Madam, I advise you to be more sensible and treat Sister Mei better. Stop putting on airs like a mistress. Maybe after the master passes away, Yuan'er will treat you better and give you food."

Another woman chimed in, "Yes, Madam, you know there's only one male in this family. The family fortune will all belong to Yuan'er in the future, and the entire household will depend on him. How can you not see reality?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other women covered their faces and laughed.

Madam Ge was so angry that her entire body trembled. Her maidservant quickly tried to soothe her. Madam Ge pointed a trembling finger at the group of women: "You, you all..."

Li Muxia and her group had finally grasped the current situation of the Ge family. Bai Qingshi then stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Madam Ge, let's not have any pointless arguments here. It's more important to see Master Ge."

After being reminded by Bai Qingshi, Madam Ge realized that now was not the time to settle scores with these women.

Just as Madam Ge was about to lead Bai Qingshi and the others inside, Wang Yuemei followed along. Xiaoyaozi, who had been watching the show, waved his hand upwards, and before they knew it, Wang Yuemei and the others had been given a laxative. The laxative took effect in no time.

Several women clutched their stomachs, writhing in discomfort, until Wang Yuemei finally couldn't bear it any longer and left. Only then did the others follow, clutching their stomachs. Even after they had run quite a distance, Li Muxia could still hear the women's curses.

Mr. Ge was indeed on his last breath, but it wasn't because he took the medicine prescribed by Wang Qing'an that he became like this.

Bai Qingshi withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and said, "Madam Ge, Master Ge has been poisoned."

After saying that, he looked at Xiaoyaozi, since poison was not his specialty: "Senior brother, take a look."

Upon hearing that it was poisoning, Madam Ge anxiously asked, "Poisoning? How could it be poisoning?" She then pulled out the prescription from her bosom once more. "We've been preparing the medicine exactly according to the prescription, how could this be..."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and called out to the outside, "Go and call Aunt Zhao here."

Seeing that she had figured it out herself, Bai Qingshi stopped paying attention to her and focused on taking Xiaoyaozi's pulse.

Xiaoyaozi took the pulse much faster than Bai Qingshi. He quickly examined Ge Guanren's wrist, looked at Ge Guanren's face, and finally looked at his eyelids. Then he said to Li Muxia, "Muxia, come and take a look."

He already knew what was going on. This little bit of poison was child's play in front of the Poison King; it was enough for his little apprentice to practice on. However, this Master Ge was probably not going to survive; the poison had already penetrated his lungs and internal organs, and even a great immortal couldn't save him.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia stepped forward and quickly understood what was going on. She said, "Master, this is chronic arsenic poisoning. Ge Guanren's organs are failing. I just looked at Ge Guanren's skin and saw rashes and ulcers. He also has conjunctivitis in his eyes and inflammation in his mouth."

Xiaoyaozi nodded to Li Muxia and said, "That's right, it is indeed chronic arsenic poisoning. Judging from the condition of Master Ge, he shouldn't have been left with only one breath so quickly. It's just a pity that he already had a tumor in his lungs, and now there's no cure. Madam Ge, you should make preparations in advance."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ge's body went limp and she sat down on the ground. The maidservant beside her quickly helped her up and sat her on a stool.

Just as Madam Ge was speechless with shock, the maid who had gone to find Zhao Ma returned, followed by a woman in her fifties, who should be the Zhao Ma mentioned earlier.

As soon as Zhao Ma saw Madam Ge, she knelt down. She had already learned about the poisoning of Master Ge on the way here. Now, seeing her, she knelt down in fear, repeatedly saying, "Madam, it wasn't me. I didn't poison Master Ge."

Madam Ge had calmed down by now. Looking at Zhao Ma, she was furious and kicked Zhao Ma in the chest, sending Zhao Ma sprawling to the ground.

Madam Ge scolded, "You treacherous servant, still saying it wasn't you? You've always been the one brewing the master's medicine, who else could it be but you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ma quickly explained, "Madam, it really wasn't this old servant, it was Huan'er. When I was brewing the medicine, Huan'er came over and said she would brew it for me, saying that I was an old servant in the household and someone close to Madam, so it wasn't appropriate for me to do such rough work. I was bewitched at the time, so I let Huan'er brew it. I really didn't expect Huan'er to poison Master. I deserve to die, please spare my lowly life for the sake of all the years I've served you."

As she spoke, she slapped herself repeatedly, tears, snot, and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked not only pitiful but also somewhat disgusting.

After hearing what Zhao Ma said, Madam Ge sent someone to find Huan'er. Huan'er was also a maid in Madam Ge's courtyard, and she usually did tiring and dirty work.

Now that things are clear, there's no need for Li Muxia and the others to stay. It's not a problem with their Jishi Manor, but rather an internal issue of the Ge family. And the rest is beyond their control.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qingshi wanted to take his leave of Madam Ge.

“Madam Ge, now that the matter has been investigated and clarified, we will not delay you any longer. Farewell.”

Seeing Bai Qingshi and his group about to leave, Madam Ge quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Medical Sage, Doctor Wang, I was just in a hurry and wronged Jishi Manor and Doctor Wang. I apologize to you all. It's getting late, and it's not safe to go up the mountain now. Why don't you stay at my residence? I'll have someone send you back tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingshi waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, we can just stay at an inn. Madam Ge, please take care of your family matters. There's no need to entertain us."

When Madam Ge saw that Bai Qingshi and the others were determined to leave, she knelt down before them with a thud.

Bai Qingshi was also startled and quickly tried to help Madam Ge up.

"Madam Ge, what are you doing?"

Madam Ge, with tears streaming down her face, cried out, "Mr. Bai, you must have seen my family's situation clearly. I have no sons, only three daughters. My eldest and second daughters are already married. Since my husband fell ill, my youngest daughter has been the one running the business. As you just saw, my husband's only son was born to that slut Wang Yuemei. With my husband gone, my daughters and I are in a difficult situation."

Bai Qingshi didn't understand why Madam Ge was telling them these things.

"Mrs. Ge, it's no use telling us this. Although I sympathize with you, we can't interfere in your family's affairs."

Upon hearing Bai Qingshi's words, Madam Ge wiped away her tears and stood up, saying, "We don't need Mr. Bai's intervention. The only question is whether Mr. Bai can wake my husband up. Once he's awake, Wang Yuemei's plans will fall apart."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingshi looked at Xiaoyaozi with some difficulty: "This..."

Xiaoyaozi, always eager for a good show, quickly said when he saw Bai Qingshi looking over, "It's possible, but once Master Ge wakes up and closes his eyes again, he'll never be able to open them again. Are you sure you want to do this?"

When Madam Ge heard Xiaoyaozi say that he had a solution, her eyes immediately lit up as she looked at him and nodded, saying, "Sir, you really have a solution? Then I'll have to trouble you. Don't worry, I'll have someone prepare the reward right away."
