May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

“No need,” the lady-in-waiting shook her head. “We can manage for the time being, but we should still make sure they recover as soon as possible!”

Now, Aqing had nothing to say and could only nod: "Alright then."

Upon hearing this, Chunhua bent her knees slightly and stepped into the house. Seeing that they were all dressed warmly, she then called the doctor in.

These were all sisters who lived with Aqing day and night, and Aqing naturally cared about them a lot, so she followed a doctor into the house.

For a moment, only Wen Yuanshu and the female official remained in the courtyard.

"I remember this girl also participated in the assessment back then." The female official had a deep impression of A Qing.

Wen Yuanshu nodded, then asked curiously, "Why didn't she pass?"

The female official glanced subconsciously at the tightly closed door before saying, "This child is too young, only sixteen years old. In our girls' school, there are very few students under the age of sixteen. I'm afraid this child won't be able to command respect when he goes there."

"Moreover, there were limited spots available, and there were people who were more suitable than her in every way, so she wasn't chosen."

Wen Yuanshu nodded.

Anyway, the child is still young. Once he leaves Rouge Lane, he will find his own way out.

At worst, we can wait a few years until the child grows up and then call her over.

Inside the house separated by a wall, Aqing heard the two people talking in the courtyard. The gloom in her eyes could no longer be hidden, and her hands clenched into fists.

Why!

Why should the girls' school reject her just because she is young?

Why should someone's fate be decided by a few words?

She doesn't agree!

A determined glint flashed in Aqing's eyes.

This time, she's determined to forge her own path!

When the doctors came out of the room, they didn't look anything amiss. They just said that the patients might have eaten something wrong, but they were all better now.

Aqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Yuanshu and the female official also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two women left with the doctors. The female official still had to attend to matters concerning the girls' school, so she left first. Wen Yuanshu planned to see the doctors off before returning to the Wen family.

However, after the lady-in-waiting left, a doctor suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Wen, may I have a word with you in private?"

Wen Yuanshu was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently.

After walking a short distance, the doctor spoke in a low voice: "Miss Wen, are those people inside all teachers at the girls' school?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Yes."

"In that case, they can be considered as the Empress Dowager's people."

Sensing something was amiss, Wen Yuanshu frowned slightly: "Is there something wrong?"

The doctor glanced at the courtyard gate from afar, then lowered his voice slightly: "Miss Wen, those people didn't eat anything bad, they're poisoned."

"Poisoned?!" Chunhua exclaimed in surprise. After realizing what had happened, she covered her mouth tightly, but the fear in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Wen Yuanshu's expression also slightly hardened.

The doctor nodded: "But Miss Wen, you don't need to worry too much. Those people weren't seriously poisoned, and they're really fine now. They should be able to walk normally tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu's expression softened slightly: "Thank you for telling me."

The doctor shook his head and said, "Old Master Zhou instructed that there is nothing to hide from Miss Wen. Besides, those people are also considered to be the Empress Dowager's people."

“Miss Wen, I have important matters to attend to at Xinglin Hall, so I will take my leave now.”

After saying that, the doctor turned around and left in a hurry.

A group of doctors hurriedly left.

Watching their retreating figures, Wen Yuanshu's eyes darkened slightly.

"Miss," Chunhua said anxiously, "what should we do? Who could have poisoned Baitong and the others?"

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "I don't know."

Judging from the doctor's words, the amount of poison was not heavy, so it was clear that the person was not trying to kill him.

What could that be for?

Who could have done it?

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but turn her head and look at the courtyard.

The courtyard still stood there quietly, no different from the surrounding houses.
