Medical Princess

Chapter 368 Confess or Not?

Since Qin Wanru wanted to dig into details and it seemed that she tried to find out the vomit which didn’t even exist, Nanny Zhou flustered. Thinking for a while, she quickly responded just in order to shut Qin Wanru up, “Second Lady, I did clean it up. You know, it was an unexpected accident and I once saw the same case on a servant girl before. Thus I quickly supposed that Madam Di was poisoned. Then I went to the kitchen and got the doctor here.”

“So do you mean that you have cleaned up the vomit before the doctor came?” A half smile appeared on Qin Wanru’s face.

Nanny Zhou had a feeling something went wrong but she didn’t know what the problem was. She could say nothing but with her mouth opening.

Qin Wanru smiled coldly and turned to the doctor who came first.

“Since I don’t know what kind of medicine you used, may I have a look?” Qin Wanru asked and smiled at the doctor who looked very embarrassed.

“Well, it, it is very normal and it can clear toxin in your body and clear away heart fire…” the doctor stammered.

“May I?” Qin Wanru asked calmly.

The doctor had no choice but to take out a bottle of medicine from his medicine chest. He gave it to Qin Wanru and said, “Those pills are to clear away the toxin and heart fire in patient’s body. When I got here, this Madam had vomited up everything, including the toxin and that’s why I can’t figure it out. So I just gave these pills to her to clear away the bad things in her body.

“So you don’t know what poisoned her, do you?” Taking over the bottle which looked quite common, Qin Wanru stared at it and asked.

“When I got here, there’s nothing left!” The doctor hurried to answer. Since the other famous doctor who came later exposed his past, he had felt anxious and nervous. He had done his best to deal with his past and he had decided to leave after making money this time. However, it turned out that he might not make a profit but what was worse, he might get in trouble.

How dare he!

“So only Nanny Zhou knows Madam Di got poisoned while others don’t?” asked Qin Wanru with a half smile. “Weird! First, only Nanny Zhou knows the incident. Second, the doctor sprayed himself with safflower powder! If something happened to Madam Di, my mother would definitely come here. If I didn’t ask mother to leave, I am afraid that she would have stayed in the room till now!”

What would become of a pregnant woman when she stayed in a room filled with the smell of safflower? The answer was clear.

A sudden silence fell. Everyone stared at Madam Di doubtfully.

Nanny Zhou began to sweat. With her fingers trembling, she quickly answered, “Second Lady, I promise, my Madam did vomit before!”

“Qin Wanru, what the hell are you talking about? Or do you think that my mother plans everything? She now has become like this! How can you still be so cruel! How can you still blame my mother for everything? If she really plans to plot against someone, why would she become like this? She almost died! Clear?”

Qin Yuru cried angrily. She looked mad and sorrowful with tears on her face. Looking at Madam Di who now seemed quite pity, everyone was speechless and nobody could understand the current situation.

“Please check Madam Di again, doctors!” Qin Wanru said to the two doctors.

The doctor who came first hesitated while the latter directly walked forward, reached out and began to feel the pulse of Madam Di. Soon he stepped backwards.

The doctor who came first had no choice but to walk forward and feel her pulse.

When both doctors finished, Qin Huaiyong then asked, “What now?”

“Although Madam Di isn’t well now, she never gets poisoned!” The doctor who came later answered affirmatively and then he glanced at the former. “If you don’t believe, you can ask more doctors to check!”

“I don’t think there is any toxin left in Madam Di’s body and I suppose she has vomited up everything!” The doctor bit the bullet and answered. He didn’t dare to lie anymore because it was quite easy to find out that Madam Di didn’t get poisoned by feeling her pulse.

It was Madam Di herself who brought this situation by planning to hang herself.

“Father, you can send several servants to ask those old maids who came in the room with me respectively about the scene they saw and to check whether their answers were the same. These rough old maids are from my mother’s yard. Hearing Madam Di trying to hang herself, mother and I quickly asked some old maids who looked strong and rough to come with us.”

Qin Wanru pointed at those old maids for Qin Huaiyong and she made it clear that these old maids were strong and rough and they were in the bottom class in the mansion. If Shui Ruolan wanted to harm Madam Di, she would not find this kind of old maids.

To interrogate them respectively was able to see whether they told the truth.

Madam Di’s incident was a sudden and she led these troubles. Even if Madam Di took things too hard and decided to hang herself, everything was planned according to her mind. For Shui Ruolan, these things could be called “emergency”. Since Shui Ruolan had to react quickly and she didn’t come here with her right hand, it was impossible for her to ask these old maids to follow one party line in a short time.

Therefore, the scene they told was true.

Qin Huaiyong understood Qin Wanru’s meaning. He nodded and called some servants to interrogate those old maids.

Qin Yuru looked embarrassed and mad. She couldn’t help trembling and her face immediately turned pale. She couldn’t stop thinking how stupid her idea was at that time! How would she want to kill her mother all of a sudden! However, since she decided to kill her, then she should have pulled her much harder and she must let her die!

If her mother died, nobody would care what Qin Wanru said and she could not trace the incident any more. Even if there were something weird, Qin Wanru could say nothing because nobody would plan to kill himself when trying to plot against someone.

As long as Madam Di died, she could overthrow Qin Wanru’s deduction.

“Once mother died, Shui Ruolan must compensate for her death. Grandma would not tolerate Shui Ruolan and Shui Ruolan would doom to live in squalor, or die! Moreover, Qin Wanru would be implicated because of Shui Ruolan and she would not have an easy time!”

“Mother once told me I would benefit a lot as long as Qin Wanru died!”

“Qin Wanru, can you believe my mother who has become like this is able to hurt anyone? Mother doesn’t know about the doctor! Who knows! My mother is so sorrowful that she even decided to kill herself! How, how can you still blame her for these? You are so ungrateful!”

Qin Yuru was so mad that crunched her teeth. She still cried, turned around and grabbed Madam Di’s hand. She cried so hard that it seemed that she almost fainted.

Madam Di seemed to hear something. She quickly hugged Qin Yuru and glared at Qin Wanru with her viperous eyes.

Qin Wanru looked calm. She looked at Madam Di and sighed. “Madam Di, do you know why you would get hurt? When sister came in, she pulled you so hard. How can sister be so rude? I also know that pulling someone who hangs himself is equal to killing him!”

She said very slowly, almost word by word. At that time, Madam Di felt so hurt that she didn’t know what happened in the room. She only saw Qin Yuru crying all the time and felt pity.

However, she now heard Qin Wanru’s words and her hand which was holding Qin Yuru’s hand suddenly trembled. She turned to look at Qin Yuru and a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

Qin Wanru had always been immature. However, how could Qin Yuru not know this even when Qin Wanru knew? Madam Di’s mind suddenly went blank and stared at Qin Yuru with her tears dropping. People then only heard sounds like “ah, ah” from Madam Di’s throat and then saw her quickly falling down without saying anything.

“Madam, Madam…” Nanny Zhou cried anxiously.

“Mother! Mother! You can’t just leave me here! Mother!” Qin Yuru was scared by Madam Di’s silent gaze and suddenly got cold hands and feet. Now she finally relaxed when seeing Madam Di faint again. Then she quickly reached out and held Madam Di and cried.

“Mother would forgive me! I just want to perfect our plan and that’s why I would do that. Mother would understand!”

“Why are you here, uncles?” Seeing the room in great confusion, Qin Huaiyong asked these elders and stared at them with his sullen eyes.

“We heard, heard that something happened so we came. Since there’s nothing severe, we’d better leave now!” answered the elders. These elders were sophisticated. They knew Qin Huaiyong was in bad mood and wanted to kick them out.

There was no need for them to stay here in consideration of this situation. Moreover, staying here was pointless.

It seemed obvious that it was a combat between his wives while Madam Di lose at last. If they still wanted to get involved, they would not benefit at all but would make Qin Huaiyong angry.

Qin Huaiyong now dominated the Qin’s Family. Other families had to wait for him to promote them. Thus, they dare not put pressure on Qin Huaiyong by mentioning their seniority, which might tick off Qin Huaiyong.

“This way!” Qin Huaiyong reached out with unidentified expression. These three elders quickly nodded and left. It would be great for them to escape from Qin Huaiyong’s interrogation. If he decided to ask them, he would find out they were also behind the scenes.

“Servant! Take this doctor and check the source of the safflower!” Qin Huaiyong glared at the doctor who came first with the same unidentified expression.

A servant came and reached out to take the medicine chest. “This way!” he said politely.

Although it sounded polite, the servant looked serious and his eyes looked dark. Even his blinking also showed his fierceness. These servants who had always followed Qin Huaiyong were his guards when he was in Jiangzhou. They were special because they did kill people on the battlefield. The fierceness which started on the inside could not be hid.

The weird combination of fierceness and gentleness made everyone feel that he was not going to bring the doctor home but to the hell.

“Fine! Fine! I would confess everything! Everything! It, it does have nothing to do with me! I was given money by someone and was asked to do this!” The doctor had escaped from a hard punishment before so he dared not meet anyone from the government. However, this servant looked much scary than those in the government. As a result, he fell over with his hand holding the medicine chest…
