The medicine woman only prescribed a few medicines before she left. The entire Residence of An was in an uproar because the medicine woman seemed to want to speak but hesitated. It seemed that the days of An Xia were numbered.

An Si, who came back crying, hated An Xia. Seeing her half-dead after she came back from Hou Mansion, her mood improved even more. Although An Xia stepped on her again at Hou Mansion, she was not discouraged.

In fact, even Aunt Zhao had thought of an even more desperate method to deal with An Xia. She had to correct An Xin's reputation and make An Xia bear the blame so that she couldn't enter the palace.

There were too many people who coveted the position of the Crown Prince's consort. Of course, Aunt Zhao wanted to fight for her daughter.

This was also related to her future. Once An Si joined the palace and became the Crown Prince's consort, she would have hopes of helping the emperor. Even if Madam An didn't die, she would still be able to help the emperor.

"What's wrong with elder sister? It was still fine yesterday. " Anse walked in, smiling. The wound on her foot had already healed, so she forgot about the pain.

Actually, the other concubines had all come to visit An Xia, as well as Madam An. At this point, the few of them were happy and worried.

Although Aunt Zhao controlled the entire Residence of An, she was still just an aunt. The other aunts weren't convinced at all, especially when the others didn't have sons. They were even more jealous of her, hoping she would be able to punish them.

However, after all these years, they knew that there was no hope.

However, An Xia's performance in the past few days had given some of the concubines hope that An Xia would be able to help Madame Zhao. At the very least, they couldn't let her be too arrogant.

An Xia's illness made a few of the concubines worry. Some of them even asked for a few men in private to tell them about their preparations for Eldest Young Miss with a helpless expression.

These words were naturally heard by Aunt Zhao and An Xin, and even An Shucheng.

An Shucheng was also worried. He had no son, only these two daughters.

Now that his daughter's reputation had been ruined and he was about to lose the chance to work with the crown prince, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. However, since An Xia's illness had caused him to lose all hope, he placed his hopes on An Si.

And it was also based on Madame Zhao and her daughter acting wildly.

"Second sister!" An Xia replied without the strength in her voice, "It's rare for you to come visit me. It's not good for me to be in the Duke's Mansion."

"Big Sis knows her wrongs now?" Anse's smile immediately turned cold as he snorted.

"I …" An Xia's face was filled with guilt. "After all, the Crown Prince is here, so I …"

"Ah Xia, you deserve to die!" An Xin from the Residence of Marquis had left first. She did not know that the Crown Prince was present, and her face had turned green as she gnashed her teeth in anger.

"I …" An Xia seemed to be frightened. Her breathing became unstable as she lay back on the bed. "Second Sister, I'm in the wrong. I'm feeling a bit sad right now. Can you help me bring the medicine?"

As he said this, he let out a few heavy coughs, as if he could die at any moment.

An Si stared at An Xia before he looked around again. There was only Hong Ye, a servant girl in An Xia's room. Who knew where she had gone off to?

She had no choice but to bring the medicine for Anxia.

Actually, An Si wanted An Xia to die like this, but with An Xia's death, no one would be able to correct his name. Thus, he could only bear with it as he lifted up the medicine bowl on the small table and handed it over to An Xia.

When An Xin wasn't paying attention, An Xia gave herself another shot. Her face was pale without the slightest hint of blood, and even her eyes had turned blue. She looked as if she could disappear into thin air at any moment.

An Xia picked up the bowl with both hands, but her body was too weak and her hands were unsteady. She spilled all the medicinal soup onto An Si's hand, and the bowl fell to the ground, shattering with a "peng" sound.

"Second sister, are you alright?" An Xia anxiously stood up and looked at An Xin's hand with an expression of concern. However, his center of gravity wasn't stable as he directly fell off the bed and smashed into An Si's body.

"Ah!" Ansi also did not expect An Xia to smash his feet on the ground.

Soon after, he heard a series of screams, one from An Si and the other from An Xia.

The two of them fell onto the ground, so both of them had their hands stabbed. An Xin was even more unlucky, even her face had been stabbed, because she was smashed by An Xia, causing her to fall down with a lot of force. Her face was pressed against the ground, and coincidentally, a piece of broken porcelain was there.

"Second sister!" An Xia couldn't care about the pain. She tried her best to help An Xin. "Your face …"

"What's wrong?" An Xin came to see An Xia. Aunt Zhao knew that something had happened here, so she would naturally rush over as soon as she could.

She didn't want An Xia to die at this time. At the very least, she had to clear up her daughter.

An Si was also quite frightened, because An Xia's expression was very deep.

She lifted her hand to wipe her face, and when she placed it before her eyes, it was covered in blood. When she placed it before her eyes, it was filled with blood, and she fainted on the spot.

The housekeeper was also stunned for a moment. Seeing that An Xia was still half-sprawled on the ground, he hurriedly shouted towards the door, "Someone quickly help the eldest miss onto the bed."

He knew that An Xia wasn't the same as before. The fire in the woodshed had reminded him, so he didn't help Aunt Zhao step on An Xia. Instead, he secretly observed and didn't act rashly.

Of course he was also willing to climb higher. Whoever had the strength, he would support.

"How could this be?" Aunt Zhao glared at An Xia, gritting her teeth as she asked, "How can you harm your little sister? Is she your little sister?"
