Chapter 271 Whose
Chapter 271 Whose
Huang Wanwan was utterly shocked and stared blankly at her mother.
Her lips trembled as she asked incredulously, "When...when did you find out? And who...who poisoned me?" She had no idea that her mother knew about this!
"This is a matter for adults; you, as a junior, should not interfere."
"But you should at least let me know what you really want," Huang Wanwan still refused to give up.
Madam Huang refused to reveal the truth, saying, "Take your brother away now. I will never leave the Huang family. I want that man to feel guilty for the rest of his life!"
"To gamble your life on whether a man will regret it?" Huang Wanwan really thought her mother had gone mad.
"This is my fate, and I will decide for myself." After saying this, Madam Huang quietly closed her eyes and refused to say another word.
Huang Wanwan stood there dumbfounded. Everything had exceeded her expectations; it was something she had never anticipated despite all her calculations!
"Why? Why?" she couldn't help but ask softly.
But Madam Huang did not answer. Deep breathing could be heard. She had fallen into a deep sleep. The argument had taken a heavy toll on her.
"Sister." A childish voice made Huang Wanwan slowly turn her head.
Huang Yan remained hidden in the corner, looking at her timidly.
Huang Wanwan, who originally disliked this younger brother, couldn't help but wipe away her tears, walk over and take his hand, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Huang Yan ran to Huang Wanwan's side and threw himself into her arms, refusing to let go.
Huang Wanwan's body stiffened, then she realized that he was just a four-year-old child, how could he understand the intrigues and grudges in the deep mansion?
"Come on, let's go out and play." She picked up Huang Yan and headed to the small garden; she needed some fresh air and to calm down...
"Madam, Miss really took the young master away!" Seeing Huang Wanwan leave, the mother went into the room and hurriedly woke Madam Huang.
Madam Huang smiled and said, "She's really grown up. She even found out that I was poisoned."
"So why did you do that?" The mother dared not continue.
"I've endured all these years, I should at least turn things around before I die and secure my children's identities, right?" Madam Huang covered her mouth and coughed twice.
But when she coughed, she coughed up bright red blood.
The mother's voice was choked with emotion, and she knew that there was no way to persuade her otherwise.
"...Go and bring the last bowl of medicine. It's all over now." Madam Huang's eyes showed no trace of lingering affection. She only wanted to leave in pain and did not want to stay in this filthy world any longer.
The mother couldn't bear it, but was driven away by Madam Huang.
She drank the medicine and vomited blood and fainted. The entire mansion was in a panic, and orders were quickly sent to the Dali Temple Minister's residence. Huang Fan also hurriedly returned!
"What happened? How could this happen?" He came to visit this morning, how could he be gone in the blink of an eye?!
"Master, this is what Madam asked me to give you." The old woman knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. She took out a bag filled with dried grass husks, which no outsider could tell what they were.
But Huang Fan recognized him and instantly flew into a rage!
"How did this thing get in this yard?!"
“This is what Madam found in the dregs of her daily medicine…” the mother cried. “Madam has always been allergic to cloves, but for some reason there are cloves in this medicine.”
"Madam had suggested changing doctors, but Master refused, only trusting that Zhuang family's fourth daughter... Madam's condition had improved after three days of Liu family's fourth daughter's arrival."
"But now, this stuff has reappeared in the medicine dregs!"
"But the person who brewed the medicine was not a servant, but someone sent by Aunt Chun."
……
His mother's accusations left Huang Fan blushing! He was so humiliated that he couldn't utter a single word. Even if he was selfish, he couldn't refute his mother's words with any dignity!
"But why weren't these brought out sooner..." he still asked.
“This old servant remembers that two years ago, when Madam wanted to replace the maids in the courtyard and choose a few she liked, Aunt Chun knelt in front of Master, crying and making a fuss, and even wanted to hand over the management of the household to Madam. At that time, Master was the one who scolded Madam.”
"This old servant remembers that Madam wanted me to brew the medicine instead of the maid sent by the concubine. But the concubine argued with Master, saying that my eyesight was failing and my movements were not nimble enough. She said that I should just stay by Madam's side and talk to her. Master rejected Madam's suggestion."
"This old servant remembers that Master wanted to hand the young master over to Concubine Chun to take care of. It was only because Madam refused to agree that the young master stayed with Madam."
“This old servant still remembers the gifts that Master brought back from the palace for Madam. They were actually leftovers that Aunt Chun had picked. But there was peach gum in the food, which Madam was allergic to. You scolded Madam for being disrespectful and deliberately making things difficult for her.”
……
"Master, are you really not going to wait any longer?" Mother's last question was truly from the bottom of her heart.
Huang Fan staggered and plopped down on a chair.
He remembered everything, initially thinking it was just a perfunctory excuse, but he never expected that his wife and those around her would remember every single detail so clearly. Now that it was laid bare before him, he was a truly wicked bastard. How could he have done such a terrible thing?!
"I...I'm not..." He couldn't explain at all.
Aunt Chun rushed in at this moment, and seeing the scene before her, she burst into tears and went into the room, saying, "Master, don't worry, I have already sent someone to invite Physician Zhang, he will be here soon!"
"Get lost," Huang Fan said calmly.
Aunt Chun was stunned. "Master, what did you say?"
"I told you to get out!!!" Huang Fan picked her up and threw her out, then went to call the steward, "Go and invite Physician Sun here, and go to the Liu family to invite the Fourth Miss of the manor!"
"Master, Physician Zhang is already at the door."
"Do I have to say it a second time? Go! Now! Immediately!" He had never roared like this before, because he discovered that Madam Huang was seriously ill, and the servants in the courtyard seemed to have no sense of grief, all of them acting according to Aunt Chun's wishes.
The butler dared not delay any longer and hurried off.
At that moment, the gatekeeper rushed in, "Master, Madam, the young lady has taken the young master out..."
"What is she doing running out at this time? Why didn't you keep an eye on her?" Aunt Sun hadn't recovered from Huang Fan's anger and instinctively cursed.
But her question touched a nerve with Huang Fan: "Watch? You sent someone to watch Wanwan?"
"Ah? No, I didn't. I was just worried that Miss would go out and cause trouble. This was ordered by the eldest young lady, to prevent her from getting into trouble before her marriage..." Aunt Chun really didn't know what was wrong with the master today!
Huang Fan gasped.
He clenched his fists, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes tightly.
"Whose house is this anyway?"
"who?"
