Lady Su's Revenge

“Second mother, grandma left angrily because of you in those years. Now you want her to go back with illness!” Gong Min was not as gentle as usual. Her eyes were full of resentment and hatred. She said, “I’d like to ask you what your intention is.”

The fat woman was the Second Madam of the Gong Family, Wu Yun.

Wen Ruomin sat on one side and breathed a little fast. She was not from the Gong Family and it was inappropriate for her to interfere in the matter. But if Wu Yun wanted to take Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun forcibly, she would never sit and watch.

The tender spot of Wu Yun might be touched by Gong Min. She looked annoyed slightly. But she got right in a flash with a sense of apology, and then she said, “Min. You know that I was young and aggressive in those years. I was impulsive. Now I know that I’m wrong. Can’t you forgive me?”

Gong Min’s eyes were very cold, as if she had not seen the apology of Wu Yun. She said, “Some mistakes can’t be remedied. You’re here to make an apology. Can you save my mother’s life?”

Hearing what Gong Min said, Wu Yun became hysterical like a cat with its tail trodden. She shrieked angrily, “Gong Min! I didn’t kill your mother. How many times do you need me to say?”

“I will never believe in you.”

Gong Min leaned over the bed and said categorically, “You go. So long as you are still at home, grandma and I will never go back!”

Wu Yun stopped breathing temporarily. The hypocritical expression on her face was torn like a piece of paper. She became slightly unnatural.

Wen Ruomin saw the matter was in a bad way. She immediately got up and said coldly, “Wu Yun! This is not the Wu House, nor the Gong House. What do you want to do? Pay attention to your behavior, otherwise I will find someone to drive you out.”

Wu Yun stopped walking temporarily and became furious, and then she said, “Good! Gong Min, nice shot. Forget it today. I’m in the Qinghe Town. Don’t think I’ll give it up easily... Let’s wait and see!”

Wu Yun ruthlessly stared at Gong Xiangjun on the bed and immediately walked away. She glanced at Su Li in front of the door and snorted coldly. She warned, “If anyone else comes to visit the old woman of the Gong Family in the future, don’t blame me for my ruthlessness!”

Su Li smiled and didn’t see Wu Yun. She went in directly. Instantly, Wu Yun stared with anger and turned pale.

She could bear that members of the Gong Family bullied her. How could even a student in the Qinghe Girls’ School dare to despise her?

There was no such a rule!

“You all, wait and see!”

Wu Yun shouted wildly and took her servants away from the courtyard. The three people smiled and felt that the scene was really refreshing.

“Su Li, why do you come over? How about your wounds?”

Gong Min wiped her tears and asked with a reluctant smile.

Su Li shook her head and laughed in a warm voice, and then she said, “My wound is almost healed. I heard that Dean Gong is ill. Since I feel better these days, I come to see her. By the way, the one just now...”

Wen Ruomin sighed. She shook her head and said, “Su Li, you shouldn’t be involved in the matter. That difficult woman is from the Gong Family in Yunjing. Now she is in charge of the Gong Family. Even Dean Gong is driven out by her.”

“The Gong Family in Yunjing?” Su Li was truly surprised to ask. She had no contact with Gong Xiangjun in her previous life. How could she know her specific origin?

“Yes, the Gong Family is a big family in Yunjing.” Wen Ruomin explained in details, “A big family in Yunjing is closely related to the imperial court. You can’t offend it. You have just offended Wu Yun, and she will surely hate you and trouble you later. Even the Qinghe Girls’ School can’t help you.”

Wen Ruomin said helplessly. Gong Min and Feng Qingru instantly became more depressed.

Su Li saw the scene and instantly comforted them,

“Dean Wen doesn’t have to think that far. I turned ill luck into good one this time. So I’m lucky. Don’t worry about me. The urgent matter is Dean Gong’s illness. I heard from a mammy that the third son of the satrap was almost killed by Jin Cheng’ao, but later he was saved by someone. Why don’t we try our luck?”

“That’s what I am thinking.”

Wen Ruomin’s eyes brightened up when she heard Su Li’s words, and then she said, “The satrap seemed to refuse to say more lest he offended that person. But I still learned from a servant in their mansion that it was the mysterious boss of the Linli Building that cured the third son of the Yan Family. I’m going to send someone to invite the boss. But because I have been harassed by Wu Yun all day in these two days, I can’t get away from it.”

“I see.”

Su Li came to realize it and then suggested, “If you don’t mind, you could write a letter. I happen to go back to the courtyard and could let Xiaowu take it quietly, so as not to be noticed by Wu Yun.”

“So great!”

Wen Ruomin immediately got up and went to the desk. She quickly wrote a letter and gave it to Su Li, and then she said, “I’m sorry to bother you. You have to be careful.”

“OK.”

Su Li did not delay much and returned home on the ground of feeling rather uncomfortable. By the way, she handed the letter to Xiaowu, who naturally delivered the letter without stopping.

Su Li arranged someone in the Linli Building. Xiaowu soon got the letter in reply and rushed back to the courtyard of Gong Xiangjun.

Wen Ruomin saw Xiaowu return so quickly. She praised him secretly and immediately opened the letter in reply.

“Thanks for your great kindness. I will surely visit tonight and treat Dean Gong!”

Wen Ruomin was wild with joy when seeing the short letter, and then she said, “Yes! ‘Ms. Li’ is indeed merciful. She immediately says yes.”

Gong Min was at the bedside and couldn’t help but feel a little hopeful. It was said that “Ms. Li” was mysterious and was highly skilled in medicine. Even if she could not completely cure grandma, she could tell what kind of disease grandma had.

Su Li returned from the courtyard to the Linli Building and took the medical kit in the underground adytum. She changed into “Ms. Li’s” costume and came to the gate of the school. It was getting dark.

Someone had been waiting at the gate of the school. Two people immediately came up and said respectfully when seeing Su Li’s symbolic white costume, “Ms. Li?”

Su Li nodded her head slightly and the two people were very happy. They immediately let Su Li get on the carriage and drove all the way to the courtyard of Gong Xiangjun.

There was nothing unexpected on the way. Su Li returned to the courtyard of Gong Xiangjun again. She changed both her breath and manner so that those who were familiar with her could not recognize her.

“Ms. Li, you are here!”

Wen Ruomin stood in front of the door and saw that Ms. Li was a young girl. She felt shocked, but soon she understood and came out coolly to greet her.

Su Li smiled and said in a quirky tone, “Dean Wen shouldn’t be too polite. The matter should not be delayed. I’ll go in and treat Dean Gong.”

Wen Ruomin saw that Su Li was so straightforward and felt relieved. She had no time to doubt Su Li’s skills, so she let Su Li go in.

“Hello, Ms. Li.”

Gong Min saw that Su Li dressed in a white dress with a light veil came in. She was dumbstruck at once, but she reacted quickly and immediately gave Su Li a position so that the latter could take Gong Xiangjun’s pulse.

There was no point in suspecting Su Li at this time. They might as well let her treat Gong Xiangjun and then look at the result.

Su Li pressed Gong Xiangjun’s pulse and instantly frowned. Her inference was correct and Gong Xiangjun died of poisoning in her previous life. But this life she was affected by Su Li and showed symptoms in advance.

A look of meditation flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She slowly put down her hand. Gong Min, who looked worried, waited for a moment. Finally, she could not help asking, “Ms. Li, what’s wrong with my grandma? Have you...”

“Miss Gong, keep calm please. Let me ask a few questions.” Su Li raised her hand to stop Gong Min from asking more questions. Then she asked, “Who is responsible for Dean Gong’s daily food and drink?”

Gong Min was pale and said, “Ms. Li, do you mean...”

“Yes!” Su Li nodded slightly and said, “Dean Gong is not sick but poisoned!”

All the three people were so shocked that they turned pale when hearing Su Li’s words. Even Gong Xiangjun’s eyes moved fiercely.

“Dean Gong doesn’t offend anyone. How so?” then Wen Ruomin suddenly thought of something and her expression immediately became gloomy.

“It seems that you think of something.” Su Li gently sighed, “A few days ago, Su Li, a lecturer at your school, was arrested. It coincided too much with Dean Gong’s illness. Don’t you have any idea?”

“The Jin Family!”

Wen Ruomin was pale. She didn’t expect that the Jin Family was so desperate. The family dared to poison Gong Xiangjun for an embroidery workshop. Weren’t they afraid that the Gong Family would have it out with them?

At this moment, Su Li said, “The Jin Family actually has sense of propriety to poison. However, they do not expect that there is hidden poison in Dean Gong’s body for many years that has not been eliminated. The toxicity of the new poison is not strong, but it triggers the outbreak of the hidden poison. This has plunged Dean Gong into the strange symptoms of today.”

Su Li’s analysis of every sentence was like reeling silk from cocoons and everyone understood it.

“You mean...” Wen Ruomin’s words became more obscure, “Was there poison in Dean Gong’s body before?”

Gong Min was pale and her breath was slightly urgent. She seemed to think of something and the flashing light in her eyes became darker and darker.

Su Li glanced at Gong Min. She immediately nodded and said, “Yes, for the hidden poison, the poisoner needs to be very patient. The poison can only be effective after the poisoning lasts for many years. Once it accumulates to a certain extent, it will immediately take effect and kill people. But the death looks like a sudden one. It’s impossible to figure out the reason.”

Wen Ruomin felt terrified when hearing what Su Li said. She saw Gong Xiangjun, who could not move on the bed, and she was scared.

In this way, the poison of the Jin Family saved her elder sister’s life. If the poison had not been triggered in advance and Ms. Li hadn’t been asked to come, her elder sister might have died suddenly. Was it right?

Gong Min grasped the sheet tightly when hearing the sudden death. Her face was as pale as snow and even her lips turned pale. Feng Qingru noticed her anomaly and immediately supported Gong Min for fear that she would fall down.

Su Li saw her reaction and could easily guess that Gong Min’s mother died suddenly too. The poisoner was probably the same person as the one who poisoned Gong Xiangjun.

If both Gong Min’s mother and Gong Xiangjun died, who could get the benefits? She didn’t have to think and knew that it was Wu Yun in the daytime.

“It turns out that those with the surname Wu are equally bad (Excluding readers).”

With this in mind, Su Li looked dismissive.

“Ms. Li, can my grandma be saved...” Gong Min, with a pale face, asked constrainedly. She helplessly looked at Su Li and her eyes were full of fear. She was afraid that Su Li would shake her head.

“Of course, she can be saved.”

Su Li gently stroked Gong Min’s head and conveyed vital energy, which made the latter look a little ruddy.

“If the hidden poison accumulates to a certain amount, it will take effect, and I will not be able to save her. But now, in this situation, I can. If Miss Gong believes in me, send Dean Gong to the Linli Building. Detoxification is not a day’s work. Toxicity may change at any time during the process of detoxification. It will be more convenient for me to treat her when she is beside me.”

An extremely bright light immediately flashed through Gong Min’s eyes when she heard Su Li’s words. Then she said, “Ms. Li, please let me go with my grandma! I’ll pay enough medical fees. I can work for the winery!”

Su Li smiled and was about to agree. She instantly looked cold.

Gong Min looked blank and instantly saw several hidden arrows whizzing from the beam of the room at night. Their goals were Su Li and Gong Xiangjun lying in bed!

“Be careful! Behind!”

Feng Qingru and Gong Min saw the scene and felt astonished. They shouted to warn. Wen Ruomin was in the opposite direction like Su Li, but she still looked blank and did not know what happened.

Just in the moment when Feng Qingru and Gong Min were too scared to close their eyes!

Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!

A series of steel clashes came out. Gong Min couldn’t help opening her eyes and saw the scene she would never forget in her life.
