Chapter 360: There's a way.
On the bed, Liu Xueying's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Then, she sat up with a jolt.
Hearing the commotion, Granny Li and Ye Weilan hurriedly turned around, but as soon as they did, a jade pillow came crashing down on Ye Weilan.
Ye Weilan was completely unprepared and quickly took half a step back, but the jade pillow was already right in front of her and smashed directly onto her forehead.
Ye Weilan was hit so hard that she saw stars and fell to the ground.
"Madam! Madam!" Granny Li rushed forward and hugged Liu Xueying tightly. "Madam, look at this! This is the daughter you carried for ten months and gave birth to! You can't..."
"Come here! Come!"
Granny Li hurriedly called out loudly, and the servants outside the door rushed in again.
"Quickly, tie the lady up! Tie her up!"
Amidst the chaos, the servants managed to tie Liu Xueying back to the bed with great difficulty.
Li Mama quickly helped Ye Weilan up. Ye Weilan's forehead was red, and the place where she was hit was already slightly swollen.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Ye Weilan finally came to her senses and raised her hand to gently touch her forehead, immediately feeling an excruciating pain.
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth: "I feel dizzy and in pain."
Granny Li quickly said, "Miss, why don't you ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you?"
Although Liu Xueying was tied up by the servants on the bed, her face was still filled with madness as she struggled incessantly.
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth as she looked at the person struggling on the bed, a deep hatred flashing in her eyes: "Has she always been like this?"
“It’s like this most of the time. Actually, when the young lady came before, she saw the madam in this state and told the servants to put away anything in the room that could cause harm. But because this pillow was on the bed, and the madam was sleeping on this pillow at the time, we didn’t put it away. Who could have predicted this…”
"Is this the only way to tie them up? Is there no other way?"
Granny Li glanced at Ye Weilan and said, "We can also use medicine to keep Madam in a drowsy sleep. As long as she's asleep, she won't hurt anyone like this."
Ye Weilan also remembered that she had previously vowed that tranquilizers were harmful to the body, and that she could no longer use them once Liu Xueying's tranquilizers wore off.
What's said can't be taken back, and the tranquilizer can't be used. If she agrees to use the tranquilizer, it's tantamount to bowing down to Ye Qing'an.
Ye Weilan took a deep breath: "Then let's keep it tied up like this."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his forehead, looking extremely pained. He also swayed slightly, as if he were in great discomfort.
"Miss is injured. You should go back first, or rest in the side room for a while. Go and apply some medicine first."
Ye Weilan nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and apply some medicine first, and I'll be back in a bit."
After Ye Weilan finished speaking, she turned and left the house. As she passed through the courtyard, she deliberately raised her hand to support her forehead, exposing the redness and swelling on her forehead. She left the courtyard under the gaze of everyone.
After walking a distance, Ye Weilan lowered her hand, paused slightly, and a cold look flashed across her face.
"Miss? Is Miss feeling very unwell?" The maidservant saw her stop and quickly stepped forward to support her.
Ye Weilan pursed her lips: "I was thinking that since Father left this time, there would be no one to support Ye Qing'an. We could work with Mother to find a way to deal with Ye Qing'an. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?"
"Now that Father is gone and Mother is acting like this, and I embarrassed Ye Qing'an in front of a bunch of people, Ye Qing'an will definitely not let me off the hook."
Thinking of this, Ye Weilan felt increasingly agitated: "I really can't stay in this mansion anymore. It's a pity that I can't get married yet. If I were married, I would be the mistress of the Fifth Prince's mansion, and no one could bully me."
The maid supporting Ye Weilan paused slightly: "Marrying a prince involves too many complicated and troublesome preparations. It would probably take at least half a year to get everything ready."
Ye Weilan was naturally well aware of this, and it was precisely because she was aware of it that she felt extremely annoyed: "Six months, by the time I finish waiting for six months, I'm afraid I'll have already been ruined by Ye Qing'an, leaving not even a trace."
"It's not like there's nothing we can do."
The maid's voice was extremely soft, but Ye Weilan suddenly turned her head: "You have a way? What way?"
The maid remained silent for a while before speaking: "If there is a funeral in the household and the young lady needs to wear mourning clothes, then this can be used as an excuse to get married on the hundredth day after the funeral."
Wearing mourning clothes?
Ye Weilan immediately understood. The Siyou Kingdom had a rule that if a woman of marriageable age had a death in her family, she had to observe a three-year mourning period. She could only get married after the mourning period ended, or within a hundred days.
But the only ones who needed to observe a three-year mourning period for their funerals were her parents…
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
The maidservant hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, raising her hand to slap her own mouth: "Miss, please forgive me, I was talking nonsense, I know I was wrong."
Ye Weilan pursed her lips: "Get up. You can't say things like that again."
Ye Weilan said this, but some thoughts were growing wildly in her mind.
After returning to her room to apply the medicine and carefully tidy up, Ye Weilan heard a servant report: "Miss, the eldest young lady actually managed to bring back the imperial physician."
Ye Weilan was taken aback, a flicker of emotion flashing in her eyes, and she felt somewhat irritated.
She said that because she was certain that Ye Qing'an could not possibly bring the imperial physician back. After all, the imperial physicians were in the palace to treat the emperor, the concubines, and the princes and princesses. If they could be easily summoned to treat the families of court officials, how could they be called imperial physicians?
Moreover, Ye Qing'an is merely surnamed Ye; he holds no official position or title, and even seeing the Emperor is not easy for him under normal circumstances...
She never expected that Ye Qing'an would actually be able to bring the imperial physician back.
Ye Weilan pursed her lips, but then she remembered that Ye Qing'an had been saved by Consort Lan, so it wasn't impossible for Consort Lan to do her a favor.
Ye Weilan took a deep breath. However, if the imperial physician could cure her mother's poison, it would be a good thing.
As long as her mother can get better, she still has a chance.
Ye Weilan thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
When Ye Weilan arrived at Liu Xueying's courtyard again with her maid, the imperial physician had already examined Liu Xueying: "Miss Ye, I am truly sorry. I have never seen this poison before. It is extremely strange. I am not quite sure what kind of poison it is. When I return to the palace later, I will first find some medical books to carefully read through them and see if there is any record of it in the books."
