A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Ye Jing and Lin Zhi were somewhat surprised when they heard their daughter's words.

"Xiaoxue, you... want to take our pulses?" Lin Zhi was a little unsure, as she had never known that her daughter knew medicine.

Ye Qingxue nodded: "Yes, I've learned a bit from the village doctor who has treated patients a few times. I'll take a look at you so I can go up the mountain to gather some herbs."

Li You listened from the side, making no attempt to hide his mockery: "Ho, does he think he's a genius? Just because he's seen a doctor prescribe medicine doesn't mean he can do it too? He probably can't even tell the names of the herbs!"

No one paid any attention to Li You.

Although Ye Jing and his wife were surprised, they still trusted Ye Qingxue and pulled their sleeves up to their arms, extending their hands.

Ye Qingxue calmed her mind and carefully sensed it.

The two men's pulses were very similar, both slow and sluggish, as if they had been suffering from toxins and stagnation in their bodies for a long time. Lin Zhi's pulse was even deeper, indicating that he had suffered from blood and qi deficiency during childbirth and had not yet recovered, and had developed a new illness.

It's a case of chronic poisoning.

Ye Qingxue's heart sank. She hadn't expected the second branch of the Ye family to be so ruthless!

In her memory, Lin Zhi told her predecessor that when the old master of the Ye family passed away, his last words were that in the face of difficulties, they should unite and not divide the family. Therefore, the three branches of the Ye family have always lived together.

The eldest son of the family saw things clearly and knew that there was no possibility of harmony within the Ye family. Under the pretext of going to town to find a way to make a living, he took one-third of the family's grain and left, and has not returned to this day.

Ye Qingxue knew that her parents valued family relationships and that living together as a family was their greatest wish, especially since it was her grandfather's dying wish. Therefore, they had never considered dividing the family property.

But it was clear that the second wife's family didn't think that way. From the moment they started spreading the reputation of the third wife's family as good-for-nothings, the second wife's family had already been planning step by step how to get the third wife's family to leave in a way that was in line with the wishes of the people.

A cold glint appeared in Ye Qingxue's eyes.

Great, they successfully disgusted her.

Judging from their pulses, this poison has been accumulating in their bodies for some time and is now constantly destroying Lin Zhi and the other person's bodies. Even if the poison stops entering their bodies, their health will continue to deteriorate.

Seeing her parents, who had only gone out yesterday, fall ill and couldn't get out of bed today, the seeds of hatred in her heart grew wildly.

She'll remember this grudge against the second branch of the Ye family!

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I have a way."

In the deserted village, production has almost come to a standstill, and there is very little contact with the outside world. Poisons are also very scarce. It is impossible for the second wife to obtain any complicated poisons, so they can only be found in the mountains.

After Ye Qingxue finished speaking, she got up and went to the back mountain.

The detoxifying herbs must also be found in the mountains.

Behind him, Li You continued to mutter, "Tch, he talks so convincingly, like it's the truth."

……

Inside the thatched house of the Ye family's second branch.

Ye Yu, carrying a basket on his back and holding an axe, prepared to go up the mountain to chop firewood. Wu Shuang, supporting her wrist which was still aching from the recent reattachment, frowned and said, "Really, it's one thing for Ye Qingxue to leave on her own, but why did she take Ye Jing and the other two with her too? Chopping firewood was originally their job, why are you doing it now?"

Ye Yu also looked dissatisfied: "I don't know, I guess they need to find someone to back them up. They definitely don't dare to face the Lu family alone."

Wu Shuang covered her mouth and laughed with a hint of schadenfreude: "I knew it. She must have been terrified. Look at how she acted mysteriously yesterday. She just learned some tricks to break her joints from somewhere. We were too careless and that's why we fell for her trick."

"That's right, I saw her swaying back and forth yesterday, it looked like she was about to faint!"

"Tch, what are you pretending to be with that mediocre skill?" Wu Shuang rolled her eyes.

"It's alright. My third brother's family is almost dead. Let them pretend about this little thing. Once they're gone, Ye Qingxue will have a hard time on her own."

Wu Shuang's lips curled into a wicked smile: "I can't wait to see her miserable state. Poor third brother and sister-in-law, once they leave the Ye family, they won't even know where to bury them!"
