Chapter 358 Dispute
Granny Li's thoughts raced. She had indeed suspected Ye Qing'an before. After all, although many people in the Ye family wanted the madam dead, there weren't many who actually dared to poison her.
Ye Qing'an was one of them.
Although Ye Qing'an's behavior after entering the mansion could be faked, upon closer examination, with the master not in the mansion, Ye Qing'an's attempt to poison the madam at this time would certainly not end well.
Firstly, before his death, the master entrusted the Ye family to Ye Qing'an. Now that the madam is in trouble, the master will definitely suspect her. Secondly, there are so many things in the mansion that Ye Qing'an cannot manage alone. She is still counting on the madam to help her out.
Could it really not be Ye Qing'an?
Then...who could it be?
As Li Mama was thinking, she heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by Ye Weilan's anxious voice: "Mother! Mother..."
Ye Qing'an and Granny Li both turned to look at the door. Soon, they saw Ye Weilan stumble in from outside and rush straight into the bedroom.
Upon seeing Liu Xueying, who was bound and lying motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, Ye Weilan seemed to lose her mind, exclaimed in shock, and rushed to the bedside.
"Who? Who did this? Who tied my mother up with rope?"
Ye Weilan roared and quickly untied the ropes binding Liu Xueying.
"Mother... what's wrong, Mother? Look at me! I'm your daughter, Weilan! Talk to me! Don't scare me, okay, Mother?"
Ye Qing'an suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, walked to the door and said, "Second sister, the doctor just gave Mother some calming medicine and she's asleep. You'd better not make a fuss here."
"Ye Qing'an!" Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Ye Weilan exploded, turning around and charging towards Ye Qing'an: "It was you, wasn't it? It must have been you! You poisoned my mother! You must have thought that since Father wasn't here, no one could control you. You viper!"
Ye Qing'an stood quietly at the door, her expression calm: "Second sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Second sister says that I poisoned Mother, but do you have any evidence? Without any proof, you've pinned this blame on me. Isn't that a bit inappropriate, sister?"
Ye Weilan sneered: "Evidence? So many things happened to Mother before, which one wasn't your doing? Ye Qing'an, stop pretending to be worried and anxious. You know what you're really thinking!"
Because of Liu Xueying's accident, a lot of people gathered in this courtyard and house.
Everyone fell silent, not daring to utter a sound, and simply listened with their heads down to the argument between Ye Qing'an and Ye Weilan.
"Second sister, what are you saying? What about the things from before? What things from before? When Father was in the manor, he personally handled many matters, especially those concerning you and Mother. What? Does Second sister feel that Father was unfair? That he wronged you or Mother?"
"By the way, the news of Mother's accident should be known to everyone in the manor. Second sister, look, I've been here for a while now, and even all the concubines in the manor have arrived. But you, as Mother's biological daughter, are the last to arrive."
"Not only did they arrive the latest, but once they arrived, they started confronting me without even asking about my mother's condition or the facts. They had no evidence whatsoever, yet they were aggressive and relentlessly tried to pin the blame for poisoning my mother on me."
The argument between Ye Qing'an and Ye Weilan was quite loud, and everyone inside and outside the house could hear it clearly.
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, everyone in the room kept their heads down and dared not make a sound, but whispers came from outside the room.
"Yes, hearing what the eldest young lady said, the second young lady is really going too far. We've been here for a while now, and the second young lady is only now arriving in such a hurry."
"And when the young lady arrived earlier, she rushed to visit the madam. Seeing that the madam had gone mad, she was afraid that the madam would hurt others and herself, so she quickly ordered people to tie the madam up. She also ordered a doctor to prescribe calming medicine for the madam, ordered the steward to send someone to fetch a doctor from outside the mansion, and even wanted to go to the palace herself to fetch the imperial physician."
"But what about the second young lady? Without asking any questions or inquiring about the madam's condition, she immediately started lashing out at the eldest young lady. Isn't that a bit too...unreasonable?"
"Isn't this just being unreasonable? If she had witnesses and physical evidence to prove that the young lady was indeed the one who poisoned the madam, then her fussing would be understandable. But she has nothing; it's just her own assumptions and guesses, yet she's making such a scene. It's simply... making a fuss over nothing..."
Although they were whispering, Ye Weilan and Ye Qing'an were both practitioners of Xuanling arts, with sharp ears and eyes, and they heard everything clearly.
Ye Weilan's face turned pale and then red. Suppressing her anger, she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and turned to ask Granny Li, "How is my mother?"
Li Mama then hurriedly spoke up: "The doctors in the manor have already examined the lady and can only determine that she has been poisoned, but they don't know what kind of poison it is, let alone how to treat it."
“Young Miss…Young Miss has already sent the steward to the city to invite some of the more famous doctors. If the doctors she invites are also unable to help, then she will have to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Just now…” Granny Li glanced at Ye Qing’an beside her: “Young Miss was just telling me that if the doctors she invites are also helpless, she will go to the palace to invite the imperial physician.”
Ye Weilan sneered, "Summon the imperial physician? That's easier said than done. She'll go and summon him? Who does she think she is? Does she think she can just summon an imperial physician whenever she wants?"
Ye Qing'an smiled, appearing to be in a very good mood and not taking Ye Weilan's unreasonable behavior to heart at all: "We have to give it a try."
Ye Weilan couldn't stand Ye Qing'an's hypocritical act, but not wanting to give anyone cause for gossip, she just snorted and turned to speak to Granny Li: "The doctor prescribed calming medicine for Mother? How can calming medicine be taken in excess? Don't they know that?"
Granny Li lowered her voice: "But the lady was in a really bad situation at the time. She smashed what she could and threw away what she couldn't, injuring quite a few people."
"It's one thing if she hurts others, but I'm afraid she might not know her own strength and hurt herself."
Ye Weilan scoffed, "Hurt others? Hurt yourself? Mother has no spiritual power, how much strength can she have? How powerful can she be? How long will it take for the calming medicine to take effect? I'll stay here with her, and once it's over, you're not allowed to give her any more medicine!"
