One by one, they watched her being beaten, saw her crying miserably, with a look of schadenfreude or cold heartlessness in her eyes.
Lian Yanqing's hands were sore from hitting her, so he finally stopped. He panted as he glared at his daughter on the ground.
This fierce whipping nearly killed Lian Shiya. She lay on the ground trembling and dressed in rags, turning into rags that were hung on her body. Her face, arms, and neck were covered in whip marks.
She struggled to open her mouth, but no words came out. Her father, who had doted on her in the past, now wished that he could beat her to death without a trace of pity.
"Well fought!" This little bitch, today she almost caused our Lian Family to suffer! " Second Wife Hu walked over. Without a word, she bent down and slapped her a few times. Her face was swollen like a steamed bun, causing her to nearly faint from the slaps.
Third Wife Liu naturally didn't want to fall behind, so she spat and said, "Lian Shiya, Lian Shiya, Lian Shiya, you are such a cruel and unscrupulous person. You have targeted your eldest young mistress three times, but your eldest young mistress has always forgiven you, and today, you actually slandered her and Lian Tou. "Old madam, uncle, we can't just let it go like this!"
"Father, father …" She was like a fish on the verge of death, powerlessly looking at Lian Yanqing.
"Don't call me father. You bastard, you are not worthy of those two words. You are afraid that the Lian family will not be in chaos, and today, today, I …"
Even his mother stared at the man on the ground as she hit the ground with her scepter and angrily rebuked. She was so angry that she looked abnormal. Her head swelled up and her chest heaved up and down. She was out of breath.
When Lian Xi saw this, she hurriedly walked forward and supported her mother, saying, "Mother, Doctor Lu told me that you mustn't be agitated. You must rest well. Leave everything to Big Brother to decide."
Seeing his mother so angry, Lian Yanqing was once again enraged. He raised his whip and whipped it three times ferociously. The whip was so forceful that Lian Shiya cried out repeatedly.
As for her mother, she felt even more uncomfortable. She covered her chest as Huang Cen and Senior Servant Song hurriedly helped her sit down.
"Grandmother …" At this moment, a voice sounded from the door, and Lian Yue hurriedly walked over with an green-clothed man that had eyes in his eyes following behind her. Lian Shiya's entire body trembled when she heard this voice, and deep fear arose within her heart.
"Grandmother …" Lian Ruyue walked up to her mother and bowed.
"Yue Er …" Lian Rou's face was pale as he stretched out his old hand to hold Lian Lu Yue's hand. He weakly said, "Fortunately, there's still you."
"Grandmother …" Lian Ruyue had a heavy expression as she said, "Yue Er has discovered a terrifying matter."
"What is it?" Mother asked, sweat dripping from her forehead.
Lian Ruyue glanced at Lian Shiya, who was paralyzed on the ground, and saw her sorry state in a single glance. Lian Shiyue's entire body shivered as she buried the deepest fear in her heart —
Hehe, Lian Shiya, let me, the eldest young mistress, send you off today.
"Fairy …" "Mmm!" Lian Ruyue called out, and Qing Dai came forward with three porcelain bottles in her hands. When Lian Shiya saw these three bottles, she was so frightened that her face immediately turned pale.
Why was this thing in her hands?
"What is this?" Lian Yanqing asked, puzzled.
Lian Ruyue nodded to the azure-dressed man behind her, and the man stepped forward. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Subordinate Dong Xian pays his respects to the Prime Minister."
Lian Yanqing was stunned upon hearing this name. "Dong Ling?" You are the disciple of the Ministry of Public Affairs, Song Qingyang? Because I have helped Song Qingyang to cure the calamity, the Emperor bestowed me with the title of Divine Doctor. "
"I dare not be a genius doctor, I am only trying my best for the common people under Sir Song's tutelage. Today, I am honored to have received an invitation to congratulate Prime Minister Song on his birthday." Dong Ling said respectfully.
At that time, Song Qingyang had accepted the decree of Emperor Zhou Cheng, and was responsible for implementing the plan that the Ninth Prince had proposed. Due to the influx of a large number of victims, an outbreak had occurred in the capital, and if the outbreak was not controlled in time, it would have unfathomable and terrifying consequences. It was because of this, that Dong Xian was able to develop a formula to treat the plague in time, which was why he was able to control the outbreak in time —
It was also because of this that Dong Ling had made a great contribution. When the Emperor praised Song Qingyang, he had also heavily rewarded him. He had originally wanted to recruit Dong Xuan into the imperial hospital, but he had risked his life to refuse, saying that he was unwilling to enter the palace and become an official.
Actually, in his previous life, Dong Ling's fame was still more than ten years away, but this time, he had been secretly supported by Feng Yunzheng and had already become a Divine Doctor whose name would shake the entire capital.
Moreover, in this life, he was under Ninth Prince Feng Yunzheng's control. He was no longer like his previous life, when he was a person of Fourth Prince Feng Qianyue.
"Father, let Divine Doctor Dong have a look at this medicine. He is a trustworthy person." Lian Ruyue said.
"Yes, Eldest Miss." Dong Ling took the medicine from Qing Dai's hand and sniffed it. Then, he spread the remaining brown powder all over the place. He was shocked and said, "I didn't guess wrong. The madame was poisoned by the oleander and the mandarin wood turtle."
"Poisoned?" When her mother heard this, she was greatly shocked. The others also revealed shocked expressions, while Lian Shiya, who was lying on the ground, was so frightened that her complexion had already become pale.
"What's going on? What's the connection between the Bamboo Beetle and the Old Mistress's poisoning?" Lian Yanqing asked in a tight voice.
Dong Ling walked in front of Lian Xi and said, "Great-Aunt, I'm sorry for offending you. Please give me the sandalwood comb in your hand."
Lian Xi hesitated for a moment before looking at her mother. Her mother nodded and passed the sandalwood comb into Dong Ling's hands; this comb wasn't used to comb her hair, but was always brought by Lian Xi to comb and knock on Lian Xi's mother's meridians. It was made by Doctor Lu many years ago, and the teeth of the comb had been specially forged.
Dong Ling placed the comb on his nose and sniffed it. Then, he instructed a servant girl beside him, "Go get me a cup of water."
"Yes." The servant girl quickly poured the water into the comb and Dong Ling placed it into the water. Not long later, the water turned brown, the same color as the powder in the bottle.
"What's going on?" Lian Xi's face revealed an expression of surprise and puzzlement.
"This comb has been soaked in water boiled with the powder of the Bamboo Beetle, so there is some residual poison on the comb. This poison is very strong, and it is not easy to dissipate, and the old lady has been using the comb to dilute her meridians everyday without her realizing it, which causes her body to become weak, dizziness, lack of strength, easily sweating, and lacking in spirit. This is in fact a sign of poisoning, if you do not discover the treatment in time, the consequences will be unthinkable …"
