Chapter 361 The Madman's Daughter
Ye Weilan gripped the doorframe, her hand tightening slightly, her face full of worry: "Is there really no way at all? You are an imperial physician, and even you have never seen this poison before?"
"Yes." The imperial physician bowed his head and replied, "Madam Ye's symptoms do not completely match any of the symptoms of poisons that I have seen, heard of, or read about in books. I really dare not easily determine what kind of poison this is."
Ye Weilan's lips were pale: "Is my mother's life in danger?"
"From what I can see now, this poison doesn't seem that dangerous. However, since I can't determine exactly what kind of poison it is, I can't be completely sure how it will develop in the future."
Ye Weilan seemed somewhat lost in thought. After a long while, she managed a weak smile: "That's good. As long as it doesn't threaten Mother's life, as long as she's alive, that's good."
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment: "If we can't determine what kind of poison Mother has been poisoned with, does that mean we can't use any medicine?"
"Not exactly." The imperial physician pondered for a moment, "We can give her some antidote pills first and observe her reaction."
"The antidote pills are made from some detoxifying herbs. Even if they cannot remove the poison from Madam Ye's body, they are by no means harmful. It is worth a try."
Ye Qing'an turned to Ye Weilan for a question: "Sister, what do you think? Should we give Mother this antidote pill?"
Ye Weilan pursed her lips and took a deep breath: "Use it. Since the imperial physician is absolutely harmless, we can give it a try. Anyway, there's no other way at the moment."
The imperial physician nodded, opened his medicine chest, took out a small porcelain bottle, and placed it on the table: "This is the antidote pill. Take three pills three times a day. There are thirty pills in the bottle. You can try taking it for three days first. After three days, I will come back to check on the situation."
"If there are any problems during this process, Miss, you can send someone to summon me."
Ye Qing'an nodded quickly: "Thank you, Imperial Physician Wang."
Seeing the imperial physician begin packing his medicine chest, Ye Qing'an looked up at Ye Weilan and said, "Please take care of Mother for now, sister. I'll see Imperial Physician Wang out."
Ye Weilan responded and stood at the door watching the imperial physician pack his things before walking out with Ye Qing'an.
The imperial physician spoke softly to Ye Qing'an: "I heard that there is a very skilled physician in the Ye family who can even cure those who have gone mad with their cultivation. Has he examined Madam Ye as well?"
Ye Qing'an smiled, glanced at Ye Weilan, and said with a gentle smile, "No, he is not good at detoxification."
Ye Weilan bit her lower lip and snorted inwardly. What do you mean by not being good at detoxification? She's clearly worried they'll frame Xu Mo. She's keeping an eye on them.
After Ye Qing'an and the imperial physician left, Ye Weilan stepped back into the house.
On the bed, Liu Xueying was still bound by ropes, with only one hand freed, presumably to make it easier for the imperial physician to take her pulse.
Ye Weilan stood to the side, watching intently, various thoughts flashing through her mind.
Even the imperial physicians were helpless, so does that mean this is the only way things will be from now on?
He's acting crazy, attacking people randomly, and can't do anything else...
Ye Weilan shuddered and quickly shook her head. This couldn't go on forever.
Having grown up in the elite circles of Wangjing City, she naturally understood how powerful and hurtful the flattery and gossip within these families could be.
If Liu Xueying ends up like this, then what will become of her in the future...?
In this life, she gained another title: the daughter of a madman.
Even if she gets married, she still won't be able to escape it. Wherever she goes, people will point and whisper about her, saying, "Look, her mother is that madwoman from the Ye family."
Just thinking about that scene made Ye Weilan shudder, and she quickly shook her head: "No, it can't be like that."
Granny Li was standing to the side, tucking Liu Xueying's arm under the blanket. She heard Ye Weilan speaking, but because Ye Weilan's voice was so soft, she couldn't hear what Ye Weilan said clearly.
"Miss?" Granny Li turned around. "What is Miss talking about?"
Ye Weilan seemed to be suddenly awakened, and quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't say anything."
Granny Li glanced at Ye Weilan with some curiosity, feeling that her expression and complexion were not quite right. However, she thought that since her mistress was in such a state, Ye Weilan, as her daughter, must be feeling terrible, so she didn't investigate further.
"What can we do about Madam's condition..." Granny Li frowned, her face full of worry. "We've already seen the doctors in the manor, the famous physicians in the city, and even the imperial physicians. Is this all that's left for Madam?"
Ye Weilan pursed her lips slightly, a dark glint flashing in her eyes: "No, Doctor Xu hasn't seen him yet, has he? Since Doctor Xu was able to repair Ye Qing'an's meridians and dantian, which were born unable to cultivate, and was also able to save the Prince of Huaiyang who had gone into qi deviation, his medical skills must be unmatched by others."
Granny Li was taken aback and remained silent for a moment: "But the relationship between the eldest young lady and Physician Xu... we can't guarantee that Physician Xu won't do anything underhanded when treating the madam."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Ye Weilan calculated in her mind: "It can't get any worse than it is now. Right now, with Mother acting like this, it's distressing for others, and she probably wouldn't want to see herself like this either. She's always been very concerned about her image..."
“However, even if we were willing to let Doctor Xu treat Madam, Miss would probably not agree. Everyone in the manor knows about the relationship between Miss and Doctor Xu. She is afraid that if Doctor Xu comes to treat Madam and something happens to Madam, we will blame her and think that she orchestrated everything.”
Ye Weilan was naturally aware of this as well. Her gaze swept over Liu Xueying's face and said, "That's simple. We'll just have the steward and the other people in the mansion witness and tell my sister that no matter what happens to our mother, we won't blame her."
“Once her worries are dispelled, she should be willing.” Ye Weilan’s eyes were cold. “If she is still unwilling, then we can say that she wishes her mother were dead, which is why she has been doing everything she can to prevent Doctor Xu from treating her mother.”
Granny Li frowned, feeling that Ye Weilan's words were somewhat strange, but there seemed to be no better way at the moment. After pondering for a moment, she finally nodded: "It's also an option, it's really the only way we have."
Ye Weilan turned around: "I'll go tell my sister and the housekeeper."
Upon reaching the main hall entrance, Ye Weilan saw Ye Qing'an talking to the steward in the courtyard. The steward listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth inwardly. The steward of the manor had always only obeyed her father's orders. When did he become so obedient to Ye Qing'an?
