“All, sister, did you forget? Not only is her eyesight bad, but her heart isn’t in the right place either! Otherwise, how could Madam have been ill for so many years?” Su Miaoyan said loudly, clinging to Su Yingxue’s arm.
“Exactly. Madam’s illness has persisted despite our aunt’s care for so many years and has only worsened. Our dear aunt has indeed done an impressive job,” Su Yingxue replied with a smile.
“That’s nonsense! Since I married into the Marquis’s Manor, I have respected my sister and always thought of her well-being. I spent many silvers on doctors and tonics for her. There hasn’t been a day I didn’t hope for her recovery. Su Yingxue, how dare you come to the Marquis’s Manor and slander me without any evidence!” Su Xinlan angrily retorted.
“Is it slander? Then, Aunt, please tell us which doctors you invited. I’d like to discuss with them why an illness that could have been cured has dragged on for so long.” Su Yingxue challenged, raising an eyebrow.
Su Xinlan’s composure cracked. If Su Yingxue were as clueless as Ye Lingbai and the others, she might have managed to bluff her way through.
But Su Yingxue was a doctor who ran her clinic and was likely acquainted with all the renowned doctors in the city. A conversation with them would reveal the truth about the bribes she had given to ensure Xu Aoqing wasn’t properly treated.
Grinding her teeth, Su Xinlan said, “Many doctors have visited the manor, and I can’t recall all their names. But even the Marquis himself has invited doctors. Are you suggesting the Marquis would harm Madam? Su Yingxue, don’t assume that a bit of medical knowledge gives you the right to diagnose haphazardly. If you harm Madam, the Marquis won’t spare you!”
“If there’s a problem, I’ll take full responsibility!” Xu Aoqing’s voice came from the bed, weak but determined.
Her words were punctuated by coughs and phlegm, but each cough seemed to relieve her somewhat.
Despite her frail, skeletal frame, her eyes were sharp as they fixed on Su Xinlan. “I trust Dr. Su. But you, Su Xinlan, you don’t trust your niece and even try to wrong her?”
Holding her head high, Su Xinlan replied, “I don’t trust her because I care about your health. If anything happens to you under Su Yingxue’s care, I’ll be blamed. It’s better not to let her treat you, sister. I can’t bear that responsibility!”
With that, Su Xinlan ordered the steward to throw Su Yingxue out.
Today was a grave mistake allowing these Su family sisters into the manor, and she glared at the steward to emphasize her point. “Hurry up!”
The steward walked up to Su Yingxue and said, “Miss Su, this is the Changxin Marquis’s Manor, you should…”
Before he could finish, Ye Lingbai’s saber was at his throat.
Ye Lingbai stood protectively in front of Su Yingxue and Su Miaoyan, radiating fury. “Miss Su is my mother’s doctor. You will not lay a finger on her. All of you, get out!”
“Eldest Young Master, are you planning to defy the Marquis? Don’t forget, the Marquis has already decreed you are no longer the heir. Be careful, or you might lose even the right to stay in the manor!” Su Xinlan’s eyes glinted with a hidden threat.
She had been in the Changxin Marquis’s Manor for years, and Su Xinlan had Xu Aoqing and her children thoroughly under her control.
She had already sabotaged Ye Lingbai’s career and stripped him of his heir title.
Despite his upright nature, he was now just a useless man kept at home.
How could he possibly fight against her?
