Madam Ye suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she wasn't in the room, but in a dark place where she couldn't even see her fingers. She stretched out her hand in a daze toward the vast night sky, but she couldn't touch anything. Only the eerie wind could be felt through her fingers.

She suddenly became nervous. Just what kind of place was this? How did she come to such a cold and strange place from the Xue Residence?

A woman whimpered in her ear. Madam Ye immediately held her breath, her entire body entering a state of alert.

There seemed to be more than one woman's cry, there seemed to be a few more, and there were a few babies' cries mixed in with her somber and sorrowful cries.

Madam Ye's heart hung in her throat. A girl with a hoarse voice stopped crying and said with tears in her eyes, "Elder sister, you've caused me so much pain."

Madam Ye was shocked, "Who are you? Why did you say that I had hurt you before?"

The female voice said, "I am Aunt Min, big sister doesn't remember me."

"Aunt Min?" Madam Ye remembered how she died when she swallowed the gold. She was so nervous that her fingernails dug deep into her flesh.

"It's me! Why did my sister kill my child? Why did she kill me? I didn't harm my sister at all!" The woman's voice was filled with resentment.

The Madam Ye took a step back in panic. "I didn't kill your child, so stop spouting nonsense.

"Was it not elder sister who ordered the Young Miss Xue to push me down from the tower?"

Madam Ye hurriedly said: "It was Xue Ronghua who did it, not Liuhua, and even more so not me."

"Then, elder sister, why did you kill me? And why did you put the gold in my throat?"

Madam Ye tried her best to support her body and fight against the female voice. "That is because you can't even protect the son of the Xue Family, I am helping the lord by removing a useless person like you which is extremely annoying."

Ah!" cried the woman hysterically. "Is my child and I nothing more than dead grass in the eyes of my sister?

The Madam Ye was afraid that the ghost of the Aunt Min would come to find her and take her life, so she refused again, "Actually, the master himself was unwilling to leave you alive …"

The woman wailed again and said faintly, "Then I will bring my child to find elder sister."

Madam Ye raised her head in panic, only to see a bloodied face quickly rushing towards him.

Madam Ye woke up from her nightmares. When she woke up to look in the mirror, she was startled by the lack of blood on her face. For the past few days, she had been in a trance, unable to fall asleep at night and unable to wake up in the morning. She felt weak and sore all over and was able to grab a handful of her black hair just by scratching her head.

She quickly called for a maidservant. Just as she was about to ask her to call a doctor, she felt something tighten in her throat. She spat out a mouthful of thick, captive-red blood onto her handkerchief.

The servant girl said in shock, "Madam … Madam has vomited blood! "

Madam Ye held on to the edge of the bed with much difficulty, and blood kept dripping out of her open and closed mouth. Get a doctor. "

The maidservant hurriedly ran out the door and called two servants over to inform the master and the young miss.

Xue Longhu hurried over when he heard the news of his wife vomiting blood.

The doctor who had arrived a long time ago immediately started to check Madam Ye's pulse. He secretly felt that her pulse was extremely unstable, and seeing her pale white face, purplish lips, and cloudy bloodshot eyes, he finally had a rough idea.

"Master, based on Madam's symptoms, this old man thinks that the Dragon Sunflower Grass was poisoned."

Xue Longhu was startled, "Dragon anemone grass? Isn't that poisonous grass? Why would the Madam need these? "

The doctor was confused. "This old man doesn't know either …"

Xue Longhu pushed the doctor away impatiently and used both hands to hold Madam Ye's face. "Madam, what's wrong?"

Xue Liuhua, who had been standing at the door for a long time, did not dare to go in. She had already heard the three words "Dragon Sunflower Grass" that the doctor had spoken, and knew that the osmanthus oil that she had used to poison Xue Ronghua had quietly landed in her mother's hands.

How did she find out that there was poison in the osmanthus oil? She never knew that this bitch knew how to differentiate poison, yet she lost her hand in such a good scheme, and even ended up in the hands of her mother.

Xue Liuhua was so anxious that she almost wanted to cry. She only knew how to poison, but never knew how to cure the Dragon Helianthus Poison.

Seeing the doctor walking out with a face full of regret, Xue Liuhua immediately went up and asked: "Doctor, what exactly happened to mother?"

The doctor sighed sadly. "Madam has been poisoned by the Dragon Anemone Grass and is in a very serious condition."

Xue Liuhua said anxiously: "Then, does this poison have an antidote?"

The doctor stroked his beard and regretfully shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult. I can first use some mild medicine to help Madam hang it. If I want to recover, I need the help of an expert."

Xue Liuhua was furious, "How much silver did our Prime Minister's Mansion give you a month?

The doctor put on an awkward expression. "Aiya, Miss, these Solarium herbs are not ordinary poisonous plants. They are not something that this old man can cure as he pleases."

Xue Liuhua secretly called her a trash, afraid that her father would see her at the door, so she pretended to be afraid and enter the room.

Xue Liuhua's belated arrival displeased Xue Longhu, "Where did you go? You're the closest to your mother's room, yet you've come so long. You're getting more and more disrespectful."

Xue Liuhua uneasily said in a gentle voice, "I just went to ask the doctor, my mother's illness …"

Xue Longhu snappily snorted, "Why are you asking the doctor? It's not like you're the one who's trying to seize the medicine."

Seeing that her father was not in a good mood, Xue Liuhua could only stay silent.

"What did your mother usually eat? How did she get infected by the Dragon Sunflower Grass?" Xue Longhu looked around the Madam Ye Room and smelled a strange fragrance from the counter. It should be the scent of osmanthus oil.

Xue Liuhua saw him open up the osmanthus oil and knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it anymore. "Father, mother has lost so much hair, it should be related to the thing to comb her hair.

Xue Longhu felt that it was right, so he called for an attendant and told him to give it to the doctor who had just left.

"But didn't I bring you the osmanthus oil from the palace?" Xue Longhu asked doubtfully.

"Yes," Xue Liuhua's heart moved, "I was afraid that Mother wouldn't like this kind of thing, so I gave a box to Little Sister Rong Hua."

"Then how did your mother get a box here?"

Xue Liuhua pretended to have thought of something, and said, "Oh, it can't be that my sister didn't see my mother, so in order to honor my mother, she gave mother a box."

Xue Longhu's face immediately became gloomy, "Quickly call Xue Ronghua to the study room to see me."

When the servant came to the door to shout, Xue Ronghua was dressing herself in the mirror. The commotion over at East Garden was so loud, she had long known what was going on and could only wait to sing on the stage.

Little Zhui smiled and whispered: "Miss, I have already prepared a person for you."

Xue Ronghua smiled sweetly, "Not bad."

Little Zhui said: "Can we win this time?"

"Of course you can. You must have confidence in me."

Little Zhui was still a little hesitant, "Miss, don't forget that behind the First Miss and Madam, there is still a Ye Family."

Xue Ronghua was startled, but Little Zhui's words did remind her that the Ye Family badge that she had crushed was still in the cupboard.

"Tell Zhu Tong to help me fix the order badge."

Little Zhui nodded: "Yes."

Xue Ronghua stared at her own reflection in the mirror, her face was pale white, her hair was a little messy, as though she was late.

"Miss, let's go."

Xue Ronghua, who had just stepped into the study, saw what she had expected. Xue Longhu, with a gloomy face, sat on the main seat as he wiped his tears and sobbed softly. When he saw her, he became on guard, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Xue Ronghua ignored Xue Liuhua's distorted face and bowed, "Father is looking for me."

Xue Longhu nodded: "Go to mother's room first, and see what she is doing."

Xue Ronghua immediately went downstairs to Madam Ye's room. Seeing her in such a miserable state, she felt a bit of relief in her heart, thinking that the Dragon Helianthus that Zhu Tong spent a huge sum of money to buy was indeed effective.

Madam Ye squinted her eyes and said with a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "You … What are you doing here? "

Xue Ronghua behaved extremely obediently, "Daughter is here to see mother."

Madam Ye weakly knocked on her shoulder. "Get lost, you aren't my daughter."

"Of course I'm not," Xue Ronghua laughed disdainfully, "I'm not as stupid as your daughter and her poison."

Madam Ye wanted to say something, but it was difficult for him to open her mouth.

"My dear mother," Xue Ronghua deliberately let out a long sigh, "This osmanthus oil is a great gift from your own daughter."

She had a gentle smile on her face as she slowly lowered her head, "Do you know how many Solanum anemones your daughter added to this small box of osmanthus oil? Unfortunately, even I don't know how much she added. But after I gave it to you, the poison in it increased even more."

Due to the poison's corrosion, Madam Ye was unable to speak or move. She could only grind her teeth and stare at her.

Xue Ronghua felt that it was time to return to her study to report, so she didn't keep fighting.

Xue Liuhua still wanted to jump over and kill her, "Did you see how my mother was hurt by you, a slut?

Xue Ronghua's face was full of innocence as she said, "What Dragon Helianthus Grass? What Dragon Helianthus Grass is that? Is it edible?"

Xue Liuhua became anxious, "You still dare to argue?"

Xue Longhu impatiently raised his head and said, "The doctor said that it was because he smeared the osmanthus oil that contained a large amount of Dragon Sunflower Grass. The poison invaded his body through his hair, and that the box of osmanthus oil was given to Madam by you."

Xue Ronghua nodded, pretending to be at a loss: "But I still don't know what osmanthus oil is."

Xue Liuhua, who was at the side, could no longer endure. She stepped forward and grabbed hold of her, saying, "Your hatred towards us two is quite deep, isn't that Dragon Sunflower Grass something you added to the osmanthus oil to poison your mother?"

Xue Ronghua panicked: "I don't know, I didn't, Father, I didn't poison mother."

Xue Longhu looked at her with a complicated expression, "But that box of osmanthus oil was given to her by you."

"But my sister gave me that box of osmanthus oil." Xue Ronghua asked anxiously.

Xue Liuhua was startled, "You're lying, I … I did give you the osmanthus oil, but you actually dare to add osmanthus grass inside. "

"I didn't," Xue Ronghua said, teary, as she shook her head hard. "Father, believe me, ever since I obtained the osmanthus oil, I have given it to Mother untouched."

Xue Longhu looked at her pitiful and delicate appearance before shifting his gaze back to Xue Liuhua.

Xue Liuhua was drenched in cold sweat from his stare, just as she was thinking about what to say, a person suddenly came out from outside. When she took a closer look, it was actually Ming Yue Guang, why was she here for?

With tears streaming down her face, Brightmoon kneeled down in front of the old master and said in a trembling voice, "Old master, please spare my life."
