The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Chapter 93

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

On Mr . Huang’s clothes was a small lotus flower, and the simple and bright lines outlined the layers of complicated petals, which rose like flames .

This was the secret Blue Lotus Cult that Feng Xuanyuan had told her about before she rescued Gan Lin .

The hand holding the teacup paused . Yu Linglong looked at the back of Mr . Huang’s head, but after all, she did not speak .

Could this shameless barefoot doctor, Mr . Huang, have anything to do with the Blue Lotus Sect?

With this doubt buried in her heart, Yu Linglong gently put down the teacup .

About half an hour later, Ling’er returned with Mr . Huang .

“Miss, Mr . Huang has already treated the old lady . ”

Yu Linglong nodded . She looked Mr . Huang up and down several times, and asked calmly: “Can the old lady’s disease be cured?”

Mr . Huang kept his head down since he entered the room, so she didn’t know what he was thinking . At this moment, he heard Yu Linglong questioning him, and raised his head as if he had just regained his senses .

He had a strange expression . He was frowning, and hesitating, as if he wanted to say something but dared not say it . He looked uncertain .

Yu Linglong keenly sensed that something was wrong . She waved her hand to signal the others to go out, and then asked in a low voice, “How is the old lady’s illness?”

Mr . Huang held the medicine box tightly with both hands and seemed to be very nervous . After hesitating for a long time, he said: “Fourth Lady, although I am not a highly skilled doctor, I am not one of those people who seek fame and reputation . The old lady is sick...It doesn’t look right . ”

Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows: “Why, isn’t it a chronic disease?”

Mr . Huang took a deep breath, and then said firmly with determination: “No, the old lady seems to have been...poisoned . ”

His voice was not loud, but Yu Linglong stood up suddenly, her cold eyes instantly condensed with a cold chill: “Poisoned? What kind of poison?”

Mr . Huang was taken aback and said hurriedly: “I am not sure what the poison is, but judging from the pulse of the old lady, it is obvious that the poison is deep...”

Yu Linglong could hardly contain the anger in her heart, and shouted in a deep voice: “What do you mean, is there no cure for the old lady’s poison!?”

Mr . Huang’s face was very heavy: “Forgive me, the old lady’s poison has penetrated the internal organs, if only Hua Tuo was alive and Bian Que was reborn, otherwise...”

Mr . Huang’s voice gradually lowered: “...otherwise, I’m afraid she won’t survive until the Mid-Autumn Festival . ”

Yu Linglong clenched her fist tightly, snorted heavily, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant sentence: “Sir, are you from Blue Lotus Cult?”

Mr . Huang raised his head abruptly, his eyes suddenly shone, and his timid appearance disappeared .

This expression only appeared for a moment, and Mr . Huang smiled under the guise: “I didn’t expect the Fourth Lady to know the Blue Lotus Cult . I’m just a countryman . How can I be related to the Blue Lotus Cult?”

The change in his expression did not escape Yu Linglong’s eyes . Yu Linglong smiled coldly and said, “If you are not a member of the Blue Lotus Cult, how can you have a lotus mark on your clothes?”

Seeing Mr . Huang’s face change, Yu Linglong added: “Would you like me to ask someone to come in for a body search? Then I will see how you deny it!”

Mr . Huang gradually straightened his back and his expression tightened: “So what if I am a member of the Blue Lotus Cult? I practice medicine to help the world, save the dead, and heal the wounded, and have a worthy conscience of heaven and earth . What shame is there!?”

Facing Yu Linglong’s cold eyes, Mr . Huang said in a deep voice: “If the Lady wants to notify the officers and soldiers to arrest me, please do so!”

Seeing his awe-inspiring appearance, Yu Linglong smiled instead .

Her white jade hand held the teacup . Yu Linglong lowered her head and blew the tea gently, and said faintly: “Who said I’m going to catch you?”

Mr . Huang was taken aback: “The young lady meant...”

Seeing his puzzled look, Yu Linglong’s face turned cold: “I just want to know . Why have I invited so many doctors to see her, and no one said it was poison?”

Mr . Huang didn’t expect Yu Linglong to ask this, he couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief and said: “I don’t know what the former doctors think, but in my opinion, the old lady indeed has symptoms of poisoning . Perhaps—”

After hesitating for a moment, he said: “...They may be afraid, or they may have been bribed . ”

Yu Linglong smiled coldly . Yes, who was willing to intervene in the affairs of the inner house, not to mention that some doctors opened their eyes after receiving the money, even if someone saw that Lady Yu was poisoned, they dared not say it . Well, if you accidentally get involved in a fight in the inner courtyard, it’s a matter of life and death .

Even the imperial doctor didn’t say it was poisoning, so how could ordinary doctors say it? As for the doctor...

A cold color flashed across Yu Linglong’s eyes, the doctor was invited by Mu Shi...

Forcefully suppressing the huge waves in her heart, Yu Linglong’s voice slowed down: “Mr . Huang, please think of a solution for the old lady’s illness . ”

Mr . Huang shook his head heavily: “This poison is very cleverly formulated, and it will make people look like they are seriously ill . When the poison finally kills, it will only make people think that they died of illness, they won’t be able to tell . I didn’t say I don’t have an antidote . Even if there is one, the old lady’s poison has been in her longer than a few days . The poison has reached the bone marrow and there is no cure . ”

Yu Linglong asked in a low voice, “If there is an antidote, can the old lady’s life be saved?”

Mr . Huang thought for a while and said hesitantly: “It’s hard to say, it depends on whether the poison can be cleaned up, but the old lady is so old...”

Seeing Mr . Huang hesitate and stop, Yu Linglong could vaguely guess what he would say next .

Lady Yu was already deeply poisoned, and even if there is an antidote, she would be exhausted .

Yu Linglong closed her eyes and took a deep breath: “Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best . ”

Ling’er sent away Mr . Huang . Yu Linglong looked at the withered magnolia tree outside the window, lost in thought .

The poison that Lady Yu was poisoned with must have been deliberately set by someone . In the Yu house, who had the courage to attack Lady Yu?

Although Yu Peng was selfish and cold, he didn’t seem to be a murderer, so who else could it be?

Moreover, where did this poison come from? Mama Wang, Ning Shuang, Ying Han, and others who served Lady Yu were all maids and servants who had followed Lady Yu for many years . They were all loyal and would not poison Lady Yu .

The only one who has served in the past few days...

Yu Linglong suddenly opened her clear eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: “Ling’er, come in . ”

...

In Jingshan Hall, the lazy afternoon sun fell on the ground, adding a little warmth to the room full of a medicinal smell . Lady Yu had just drunk her medicine and fallen asleep . Ying Han sat at her feet and waved the duster in her hands to drive away the bugs who wanted to approach the bed .

Concubine Dong sat at the end of the bed, and from time to time she looked up at Lady Yu who was asleep, her face showing unconcealable worry .

In the drowsy silence, a small voice suddenly came in from outside the door: “Auntie, Auntie!”

Concubine Dong quickly stood up, and saw that Lady Yu was not awake, she walked out lightly .

A little girl who had just kept her head stood at the door, beckoning to Concubine Dong: “Auntie, come here!”

Concubine Dong walked over and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The little maid couldn’t hide her anxious expression: “I heard the old lady in the backyard say that the third master caught a cricket by the pond and fell into the pond accidentally!”

As if struck by lightning, Concubine Dong grabbed the little maid in shock: “What did you say? Brother Yuan fell into the pond?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

The little maid nodded in a panic: “Auntie, go and have a look, it’s in the backyard!”

Concubine Dong didn’t care to explain to Ying Han . She trotted out of Jingshan Hall and went straight to the pond in the backyard .

The small pond in the backyard was very remote . Very few people visited it on weekdays, so the working women got lazy and didn’t come to clean it once for ten and a half months . Therefore, there were overgrown weeds and even the paths were almost flooded with weeds .

Concubine Dong hurried to the pond, stuck her neck out, and looked around, with an anxious look, she called out: “Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan! Where are you!?”

A cold voice rang, and it seemed very cold in the grassy garden .

“Stop looking, he’s not here . ”

Yu Linglong was wearing a lake-blue dark flower embroidered hibiscus and brocade spring shirt, wearing a butterfly hairpin with tiered silk and beads, and her eyes were cold, and she slowly walked out of the grass .

Seeing Yu Linglong appearing here, Concubine Dong suddenly shrank her shoulders subconsciously, and bowed deeply, “Good morning Fourth Lady . ”

Yu Linglong said in a deep voice, “I want to ask you something . ”

Concubine Dong had Yu Weiyuan on her mind, and she couldn’t help but feel a little anxious in her voice: “Fourth Lady, I was going to find Brother Yuan—”

Yu Linglong interrupted her words coldly: “You can leave after answering my words . ”

Knowing that the Fourth Lady was easy to provoke, Concubine Dong had to shut her mouth whiningly .

Yu Linglong looked at the fragile Concubine Dong, and asked word by word: “Who poisoned the old lady!?”

Concubine Dong suddenly raised her head in fright: “What? The old lady was poisoned?”

Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze at Concubine Dong was full of doubts: “You serve the old lady every day, but you don’t know?”

Concubine Dong’s lips trembled violently with fright: “What? How could the old lady be poisoned?”

Yu Linglong said impatiently: “The old lady eats and drinks, and you personally handle it . Tell me, what is going on!?”

Concubine Dong was so shocked that her legs gave away, and she knelt down without knowing it: “Fourth Lady, I really don’t know what’s going on . Even if I had the courage, I wouldn’t dare poison the old lady! Miss, can you spare me—”

Ignoring her bitter pleading, Yu Linglong kicked her on the shoulder and immediately knocked her to the ground .

“When? I’m just thinking of you! I’m asking you, what does the old lady eat every day? Did someone slip something by you?”

Concubine Dong was so scared that she didn’t dare to ask anymore, so she frowned and tried to think hard in her mind, but she couldn’t think of a way she had poisoned: “This...I don’t know any poison . The old lady only takes the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day, and occasionally adds some gruel and tonic soup from the lady...”

Saying this, Concubine Dong seemed to think of something, her face gradually turned pale: “Could it be...no, it wouldn’t be her...”

Yu Linglong’s eyes were dull, and she shouted sharply: “Say it!”

Concubine Dong threw herself on the ground in horror, her shoulders trembling violently, and she tremblingly said: “The lady sends medicinal herbs and porridge and dishes every day, and I have to wait for the old lady to drink it . These days, the old lady is sick, eating less and less, and the soup and porridge leftover every day are dumped by the servants under the peony bush in the yard...”

Concubine Dong’s voice was getting lower and lower, full of fear: “A few days ago, the peony bush had withered and died, and I don’t know if it was the problem with the soup sent by the lady...”

Yu Linglong’s fist suddenly squeezed tightly . It really was Mu Shi!

No longer able to suppress the monstrous anger in her heart, Yu Linglong kicked Concubine Dong out: “What a foolish thing!”

Thinking of those poisons that Concubine Dong had fed Lady Yu bit by bit, Yu Linglong wanted to kick this woman to death .

However, reason told her that Concubine Dong was also completely unaware that Lady Yu was poisoned . The real culprit was Mu Shi!

For a long time, she was unwilling to intervene in the inner struggles of the Yu house . People did not offend her and she did not offend them . But Mu Shi treated her ignorance as her indulgence, and now she dared to attack the old lady!

The angry flames were burning, and Yu Linglong ignored Concubine Dong who was shivering on the ground and walked out without looking back .

Mu Shi, this old thing, is really wretched!

...

Just as Yu Linglong walked to the gate of Pinlan Garden, she heard a worried voice: “Fourth Lady, Fourth Lady!”

With tears all over her face, Ying Han stumbled over and ran over: “Fourth Lady, go and have a look, old lady...the old lady is dying!”

Her slender fingers suddenly clenched . Yu Linglong turned around, and without a word, Ying Han went straight to Jingshan Hall .

The sky was getting dark, and dark gray clouds covered the dark gray sky layer by layer as if trying to press on their heads . From time to time, there were several muffled claps of thunder on the horizon, indicating that a storm was coming .

Inside and outside the room, countless maidservants walked in a hurry, but no one dared to speak . Everyone looked solemn, and some of them couldn’t stop crying .

Lady Yu had a hot temper, but she was very kind to her servants . Now that she was dying, these servants who have been favored by her could not stop crying .

Yu Linglong entered the room, but only Jiang Yuezhen, Yu Qianliu, and others were waiting outside with anxious looks . They were as unsure as to what to do like headless flies, but General Yu and Mu Shi were completely absent, and not even Concubine Mei was here .

His own mother was almost gone, but the son was not home?

Although she didn’t like them at all, Yu Linglong knew that at this time, Lady Yu must be desperate to see her son, so she asked angrily: “Where are Yu Peng and his wife?”

Ningshuang wiped her tears and replied, “Master was invited to have a drink . I heard that he went to Cangchun Street . I sent someone to look for him . They haven’t found him yet—”

Yu Linglong frowned with anger . Cangchun Street? It sounded like he was fooling around . His own mother was dying, and when a son is still willing to drink flower wine outside, it is really a spectacle!

Ning Shuang continued: “...As soon as the lady heard that the old lady was very ill, she fainted, and the house had just sent someone to ask a doctor . ”

Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Fainted?”

She knew from the tips of her toes that Mu Shi definitely didn’t want to come to see the end of Lady Yu, so she took the time to pretend to be unconscious .

Everyone’s eyes were on Yu Linglong . At this moment, she was the only one who could take charge of Jingshan Hall .

There was a coughing sound from the inner room, and Ning Shuang immediately returned to the room, and Yu Linglong also walked in .

In the dimly lit room, Lady Yu’s face was decadent and she was coughing violently . Her original piercing eyes were now deeply sunk in the eye sockets, looking spiritless .

Only when she saw Yu Linglong did Lady Yu’s eyes show some brilliance .

The maid held Lady Yu’s head and wiped the spittle on her mouth with a kerchief . Lady Yu eased her breathing and whispered: “Fourth Girl...”

Yu Linglong walked forward quickly: “How do you feel?”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lady Yu’s mouth: “I’m beyond hope...cough cough...”

Yu Linglong’s heart tightened slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed Lady Yu’s hand: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die . ”

Even though Lady Yu was not her real grandmother, Yu Linglong still admired Lady Yu during the short time they had been getting along . Seeing her suffering at this moment, Yu Linglong was not in a good mood .

Lady Yu smiled bitterly: “Silly girl, how can a person overcome the sky? You, you just have a strong temper...”

Lady Yu paused and continued: “Grandma will be gone . From now on, you have to take good care of yourself...Remember the words of grandma, don’t be hard at everything, chopsticks will break when you poke, but the straw will bend for a while without breaking...It’s a pity that I only understand this truth now . ”

Yu Linglong said softly: “Don’t talk . Cultivate your spirit . ”

Seeing the spirit in Lady Yu’s eyes gradually appearing, Yu Linglong knew that this was a glimpse, but after all, she couldn’t bear to let her die but still had to worry about so many things .

Lady Yu’s gaze fell on the door behind Yu Linglong, where Yu Qianfang, Yu Weide, and others were crowded around the door . All of them looked at her with tears in their eyes but did not dare to enter without permission .

Lady Yu raised her hand with difficulty and greeted them: “Second Girl, Third Girl...you all come here . ”

Yu Linglong slowly got up and gave up her position in front of the bed . Only then did several people rush in and kneel down in front of the old lady’s bed .

“Grandmother!”

“Old lady—”

“Oh, grandma...”

Lady Yu sighed deeply: “I have lived a long time, and I can finally see my children and grandchildren when I die...”

She stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Yuezhen’s hand, and said in a frantic voice: “You, granddaughter-in-law, only came in a few days ago, and I haven’t had time to talk to you for a while...”

Jiang Yuezhen was crying so much that she couldn’t lift her head up . She seemed to be sadder than the other grandchildren, as if extremely regretful: “Old lady, I...I...”

She patted the back of her hand with difficulty, and Lady Yu said, “Live with Brother Wu . By this time next year, remember to bring a big fat boy to my grave to let me see...”

Lady Yu couldn’t talk anymore when she said this, and there was even more crying below .

Seeing Lady Yu reluctantly look at the grandchildren on the ground, and look out the door again, Yu Linglong knew that she wanted to see Yu Peng, so she said softly: “He will be home soon . Wait a while . ”

Lady Yu showed a disappointed look on her face: “This kid, I really raised him for nothing—”

The brief blush on her face was fleeting, the old lady Yu’s voice gradually lowered, and the breath in her mouth gradually left her more, and entered her less, and the eyes that were once full of spirits slowly closed .

As Lady Yu’s hand fell heavily, her chest no longer rose and fell, and her whole body stopped moving .

With a crash thunder suddenly sounded outside, and the big raindrops the size of soybeans fell down instantly . The thunder, storms, showers, the discoloration, and violent turmoil between the sky and the earth, none of this could hide the sudden thunderous cries in the room .

...

Pinlan Garden .

At night, it was as dark as a splash of ink, and the wind and rain slapped frantically on the window frames, making a rustling noise, disturbing their minds .

Yu Linglong sat on the couch by the window, listening to the messy rain outside the window, surprisingly calm .

She was not so sad about the death of Lady Yu . At this moment, her mood was more chaotic and complicated .

Since her soul took possession of this body, she has always chosen to watch everyone in the Yu house with cold eyes and made up her mind not to intervene in the affairs of the Yu house, but after experiencing so many things, she discovered that in this world, it’s not the case that if you don’t find trouble, trouble won’t come to you .

For a long time, she was still too passive, living passively in the Yu house, passively waiting for others to provoke her, and then she would retaliate . Now, the death of Lady Yu has sounded the alarm for her . Mu Shi was a narrow-minded woman . Just because Lady Yu spoiled her a bit more, she personally poisoned her mother-in-law . Would she be the next?

In the darkness, her thin white fingers rubbed the dense and delicate embroidery stitches on the pillow, and the little warmth that remained in her heart had disappeared with the death of Lady Yu .

Mu Shi, and the entire Yu Mansion, will pay for what they have done!

There was no sound in the room for a long time . Xuan Cao and Ling’er, who had been guarding outside, became more and more frightened . Seeing that it was almost four hours later, Ling’er finally couldn’t bear it and quietly raised the curtain to look towards the inner room .

The slender figure was still sitting on the couch, motionless, and the oil lamp was not lit . Linger wanted to enter the room, but was afraid of being blamed by Yu Linglong . When she was in a dilemma, Yu Linglong suddenly spoke .
