However, the effect would be different if Wei Ting said it himself.
Old Madam Wei said suspiciously, “What did you mean just now… that Huan’er seems to have become a different person?”
Wei Ting recalled, “It’s just that… I can’t say… He suddenly stopped moving… I called out to him… He didn’t react… Then… he suddenly stabbed me as if he was possessed…”
Madam Chen said strangely, “But Little Seven, your blood…”
Wei Ting hurriedly held his forehead. “Ah… my head hurts!”
“Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and rest.” Madam Li was someone who had had a child and was sharper and more meticulous than the other women.
She said, “Grandmother, we should listen to Seventh Sister-in-law. Let Little Seven rest well.’
Matriarch Wei nodded and led everyone out.
Wei Ting broke out in cold sweat.
Su Xiaoxiao carried it into the house.
Wei Ting said expressionlessly, “My third sister-in-law smelled chicken blood.”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. “She can smell that? What did she do in the past?”
Wei Ting paused. “Killed chickens.”
Madam Chen’s father was a general. She had practiced martial arts with her father since she was young. In order to practice her saber techniques, she secretly went to the chicken farm to kill chickens.
Wei Ting said extremely seriously, “It’s true. My third sister-in-law killed chickens especially well.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Old Madam Wei and the others were Su Xiaoxiao’s future in-laws. Manager Sun arranged a quiet room on the second floor for them and handed over a few pots of Longjing.
However, now that such a thing had happened, how could they be in the mood to taste tea?
The group sat around the room with solemn expressions.
Madam Jiang was puzzled. “I still don’t understand. Why did Cousin Huan stab Little Seven? Could it be… that it’s really as Little Seven said… that Cousin Huan was possessed?”
Madam Chen opened her mouth. “Um…’ “Matriarch! Sisters-in-law! ”
Su Xiaoxiao appeared at the door in time.
Madam Chu glanced at the Old Madam and saw that she had no intention of objecting. She hurriedly said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Come in. Has Little Seven taken her medicine?”
“I’ve eaten. I’m here to tell you about Wei Ting’s injuries in detail.”
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she walked in and said seriously, “As you can see, Wei Ting has lost too much blood. This situation is very dangerous. In order to save his life, I could only give him some chicken blood.”
Everyone was speechless.
Old Madam Wei and the five of them looked at her in confusion, as if they had never heard of such a treatment.
Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “Of course. Ordinary chicken blood can’t do it. I added some of my master’s secret medicine. That medicine is very precious. My master has only refined a small bottle over the years and I gave it all to Wei Ting.”
In other words, it would never happen again.
The Wei family was skeptical and felt that this prescription was really a last resort.
However, as long as Wei Ting could survive, they could even use the blood of a donkey.
After living for 21 years, this was the first time Wei Ting had been treated like a
donkey.
On the other side, Prime Minister Guo left the court.
The servants in the residence immediately reported Guo Huan’s matter.
Prime Minister Guo’s expression darkened. “What is it?”
The servant said, “Four hours ago…”
Prime Minister Guo did not dare to hesitate. He left the palace without stopping and rushed towards the Dali Temple.
At this moment, Xiao Zhonghua and Jing Yi also arrived at the Dali Temple.
Guo Huan was already awake.
The minister of the Dali Temple carried out the law and brought him to the torture chamber.
This was a place to interrogate important suspects. Those petty thieves were not qualified to enter.
Guo Huan sat on a cold iron chair and looked at him fearlessly.
The minister felt a headache coming on.
Suddenly, the door of the torture room opened and Xiao Zhonghua and Jing Yi walked in.
“Lord Liao,” Xiao Zhonghua said calmly.
“Third Prince.” The minister cupped his hands and bowed. He also greeted Jing Yi. “Young Marquis Jing.”
The minister asked, “Your Highness, why are you here? Aren’t you on a break today?”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “I heard that Emperor Taizu’s statue was destroyed, so I came over to take a look.”
“You came at the right time. Actually, not only the statue, but also…” The minister explained the incident again.
Xiao Zhonghua nodded. “Got it. I’ll interrogate him.”
The minister of the Dali Temple could not ask for more.
Xiao Zhonghua said seriously, “Guo Huan, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as commoners. Although you’re the young master of the Prime Minister’s Estate, the law is the law. You’d better tell me the truth.”
Guo Huan said coldly, “I’ve already said many times that I didn’t do it.. Wei Ting framed me!”
