Chapter 1354: Scapegoat
Song Dejiang snorted coldly. “Young Madam Nie’s injuries weren’t serious to begin with. Although she injured her brain by hitting the rock, as long as she was treated well and rested for a few days, she would be fine. Bai Muzi wouldn’t be needed for that injury at all. However, she happened to meet a quack who used other medicine on her. Not only did her originally wound not heal, but it even festered and caused pus.”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. “You have to know that the human brain is very complicated to begin with. Even us imperial physicians don’t dare to be disrespectful when faced with such a situation. We have to be very careful. Otherwise, if we’re not careful, such a wound might directly cause people to fall unconscious, blind, deaf, and all kinds of illnesses.”
“The current Young Madam Nie is in the worst situation. Her condition is already very serious. If we delay any longer, I’m afraid…”
The magistrate hurriedly asked, “Then what should we do?”
Imperial Physician Song sighed. “Originally, Young Madam Nie’s injuries didn’t require Bai Muzi. Now, only Bai Muzi can save her.”
When Imperial Physician Cui heard this, he said on the spot, “Master Yan, what else do you have to say? Lord, you heard it. Master Yan didn’t use that medicinal herb on Madam Yan at all back then. Madam Yan’s previous injuries weren’t serious either. All of this was orchestrated by the Yan family. They used their biological daughter to frame my daughter just to keep the Bai Muzi for themselves.”
Before the magistrate could speak, Nie Cong had already rushed forward. He didn’t care if Master Yan was his father-in-law at all. He grabbed the man’s collar and said with a livid expression, “Are you still human? That’s your daughter, your biological daughter. It’s fine if you used her, but why didn’t you treat her injuries properly? She’s now the madam of my Nie family. Do you have any respect for my Nie family? Huh?”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, as if he was about to punch him.
The magistrate hurriedly pulled him back. There was no choice. There were not many people in the courtyard of Anhe Garden. He could only stop it himself. “Calm down, calm down. Young Master Nie, now is not the time to be rash. The most important thing is to quickly treat your wife’s injuries.”
Nie Cong struggled for a while but could not break free. He gradually calmed down.
He glared at Yan Yihai. “Where’s Bai Muzi? Since Bai Muzi is still in your hands, quickly hand it out and help Imperial Physician Song save Yan Ya.”
Yan Yihai gritted his teeth and looked up, wanting to say something.
The magistrate narrowed his eyes. “Yan Yihai, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? It’s a fact that you slandered Imperial Physician Cui and his daughter and severely injured Young Madam Nie. Come back to the government office with me and explain the matter clearly.”
Yan Yihai choked on his words. He clenched his fists and turned to look at Mrs. Yan.
Lady Yan met his meaningful gaze and immediately felt a chill in her heart.
They had been husband and wife for many years. What did she not understand? Old Master wanted her to take the blame.
B-But…
Lady Yan hesitated. After everyone returned to the government office, the magistrate began the interrogation again.
Yan Yihai looked at Mrs. Yan a few times. In the end, Mrs. Yan could not withstand the pressure and could only cry out and admit all her crimes.
“Lord, Lord, please spare my life. I was blinded by greed and did not want Bai Muzi to fall into the hands of others. I also hated Yan Ya for marrying a good husband and was afraid that she would come back for revenge after a good life. That’s why I had bad thoughts. All of this is my fault. Master, he, he did not know…”
