Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 264 Poisoning

After Huajiao finished speaking, Liu Yuechu became even angrier.

Granny Fang quickly stopped her, "Your Majesty, please think of the little master in your womb. You can't get angry so easily!" This month is the most dangerous, and Granny Fang is worried every day.

"What kind of logic is this? Why would your own niece marry such a cowardly and greedy man? The Dali Temple Minister's Mansion is a dignified third-rank mansion, yet it's afraid of such a scholar's mouth?" Liu Yuechu had suffered from being kidnapped by her relatives in her previous life, so she felt even more sorry for Huang Wanwan.

"No matter what it is for, you must not get angry," Granny Fang advised earnestly. "We can discuss this further. If you want to see Miss Wanwan, you can find a way to do so."

"No wonder my brother is so distracted and wants to leave the capital. He must have tried it..." Liu Yuechu finally understood that Liu Musheng was out of his mind. She slowly sat down and began to think of a solution.

"What tonic did you give Madam Huang today?" she asked, referring to the peppercorns.

"I brought some bird's nest, as well as some Solomon's seal fruit and Ganoderma lucidum from the north that my son-in-law mailed back to you..." Huajiao said.

"Did they hire a royal physician?"

"No, it's just a doctor from Wanshoutang who is said to have served the Huang family for many years."

"Granny, take my invitation to the Imperial Hospital and ask Physician Sun to visit the Huang family when he has time," Liu Yuechu instructed. "When he goes, you should go with him and ask him carefully what happened."

"Also, take that thousand-year-old ginseng from our manor. Remember to tell Lord Huang that it was a gift from me to Madam Huang. Don't let anyone misappropriate it, since Madam Huang is not in charge of the household affairs."

Granny Fang also thought this was a good idea, as long as Liu Yuechu didn't run around in person, it would be fine no matter what.

Liu Yuechu sent Granny Fang to handle the matter, and Physician Sun naturally understood that it was very important.

He deliberately chose that evening to go to the Dali Temple Minister's residence with Granny Fang. Huang Fan was naturally at home, having just finished dinner with his family and was drinking tea.

Hearing that Liu Yuechu had specially invited him, and that it was Physician Sun who came, Huang Fan felt it was presumptuous, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he could only respectfully invite him in.

After examining Madam Huang's pulse and prescribing a medicine, Physician Sun specially summoned Liu Yuechan, saying, "...Madam Huang's internal heat is very severe. I believe that with the combination of acupuncture and medication, Miss Yuechan, her recovery will be faster."

He deliberately left the Liu family with a reason to continue their relationship, which made Huang Fan hesitate.

Granny Fang took out a thousand-year-old ginseng. "This was specially sent by Lady Liu. She knows that Miss Wanwan misses her mother the most. It's true that one may wish to care for one's parents but they are no longer there. Our mistress also wishes Madam Huang a speedy recovery."

Since outsiders had prepared such valuable gifts, Huang Fan naturally dared not refuse.

Others might be one thing, but Liu Yuechu was no pushover. She dared to run to the palace and wail, and yet His Majesty still sent a palanquin to escort her out.

"Thank you for your kind thought, Ms. Liu."

"Our two families have always been close, so there's no need for you to stand on ceremony, Lord Huang," Granny Fang said, before entering Madam Huang's room. She seemed to be watching Liu Yuechan administer acupuncture treatment, but also taking the opportunity to say a few words to Huang Wanwan.

Huang Wanwan was surprised that Liu Yuechu cared about her so much, and felt both touched and aggrieved.

She chatted with Granny Fang for a long time.

Liu Yuechan had already finished administering the acupuncture and was almost asleep on the side. "...Madam needs to rest soon, we have to go."

Granny Fang could only nod in agreement, "Come again tomorrow."

……

After everyone left, they boarded a carriage in front of the Dali Temple Minister's residence.

Granny Fang originally intended to send Physician Sun back, but Physician Sun insisted on going to see Liu Yuechu. "...Let's talk about it at your residence."

When Granny Fang saw that something seemed to be wrong, she quickly told the coachman to go back.

When Physician Sun arrived at the mansion, Liu Yuechu was already waiting for them at the gate.

"...Madam Huang has been poisoned, and it's been a long-term poisoning that can't be cured, only its effects can be slowed down."

"Poisoned?" Liu Yuechu was stunned when she heard this!

Upon hearing her master's words, Liu Yuechan suddenly realized, "No wonder the acupoints were blocked and I couldn't insert the thirteen needles! I thought I hadn't found the right spot!"

"So we need to use the Xuan Needle." Physician Sun went on to explain a whole bunch of technical terms, which Liu Yuechan carefully memorized so she could try it again the next day.

"That's the gist of the matter. Whether or not to tell the Huang family is up to Liu Yiren to decide." Sun Yizheng was able to say so much because he had business dealings with the Liu family.

Liu Yuechu thanked him repeatedly and asked Uncle Chun to see him off. She then looked at Granny Fang and asked, "Did she say why she still wants to marry that damned editor?"

"Because Jiang Changyang also went to the Huang family to propose marriage, he insisted on marrying Miss Wanwan. Lord Huang was unwilling to take sides, so he said that Miss Wanwan was already engaged, so he could only settle for second best and make sure the marriage was settled as soon as possible," said Granny Fang.

"You could have chosen my older brother! Why did you have to pick such a piece of trash!" Liu Yuechu was furious.

"Have you forgotten which household Madam Ding belongs to?" asked Granny Fang.

"The Duke of Jingguo's mansion..." Liu Yuechu only remembered at this point that the young master of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion had previously been interested in her, but she had forcefully cut it off.

"But surely it's not like she'd hold a grudge against the Liu family because of me?" She suddenly lost her confidence.

"If it were the principal wife, it would be fine, but she's just a concubine. How could she dare to let her own niece marry into the Liu family? Wouldn't that be courting death?" Granny Fang had just remembered this matter.

"So, I'm also responsible?" Liu Yuechu felt quite guilty.

"But the young master's misunderstanding has been cleared up. Originally, Miss Wanwan thought that he had sent someone to beat up Editor Lü. When the young master went to find him, he was scolded and berated by Miss Wanwan. When I told her it was you, she just laughed." Granny Fang was also helpless.

"It's no use who hits her, she still wants to get married, doesn't she?" Liu Yuechu was even angrier when she thought of Jiang Changyang. "He's already afflicted with venereal diseases, and he still dares to propose marriage to the Dali Temple Minister's Mansion? Where does he get the nerve?"

"So, what do you plan to do?" Granny Fang knew she wouldn't let it go easily. "Actually, not many women in a mansion can choose their own husbands. Miss Meng Yu just happened to be in that situation, and the Lu family treats her quite well."

Huang Wanwan is like most women whose fates are decided by their families...

"What do you think about me going to the palace to ask His Majesty to find a wife for my elder brother?" Liu Yuechu suddenly blurted out.

"?!!"

"This is no joke, you must think carefully! If you anger His Majesty, you will also suffer the consequences!" Granny Fang really admired her courage, how could she dare to think of anything!

Liu Yuechu felt there was nothing she wouldn't dare to do, provided that Huang Wanwan had the courage to fight back.

She looked at Liu Yuechan beside her and said, "When you go to the Huang family tomorrow, tell Wanwan that Madam Huang has been poisoned and ask her if she wants to save her. If she marries like this, I'm afraid Madam Huang will be killed in the mansion not long after she gets married."

"If she can give up her mother's life, she will listen to her aunt and marry that damned editor."
