C26 There Is No One in My Heart like Me
Soong Qing almost lost half of her life. Her legs went soft, and her voice trembled. “Dr. Sun, my son, he, he is fine, right?”
In the end, her eyes were wet. When she thought of Tao Xiyuan, she immediately became furious. She pointed at Tao Xiyuan and roared, “It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you! If anything happens to my son, I’ll make you pay with your life!”
Dr. Sun looked at Soong Qing strangely. “Who told you that he was poisoned?”
Soong Qing was stunned. “The doctors who came to see him before all said so.”
Dr. Sun nodded with a look of understanding. “Did they say what poison?”
Soong Qing frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart. “They said it was the poison of fire.”
Dr. Sun stroked his beard. “That’s a bit exaggerated. To put it simply, it’s a fire. It’s just that the fire is a bit heavy and can’t be expelled from the body for a while. I’ve been a doctor for so many years, and this kind of situation is very rare. But don’t worry, it will be fine after a few days of rest.”
Soong Qing felt as if someone had hit her on the head. After all this time, it was just a fire?
She didn’t believe it. “Impossible. So many doctors have come to see him and all said that he was poisoned!”
Dr. Sun’s face immediately fell. He said sharply, “Madam Dongfang, are you questioning my medical skills or are you questioning me for lying?”
Soong Qing was speechless for a moment. When she saw that Dr. Sun was angry, she quickly said, "Don't say that. I was just a little impatient and said something that I didn't mean. I hope Dr. Sun can forgive me."
Dr. Sun snorted coldly and turned his head away, unwilling to talk to Soong Qing anymore.
For a moment, Soong Qing felt a little embarrassed. She came over angrily just to use this excuse to teach Tao Xiyuan a lesson. Now, she had lost face. She had to settle this debt no matter what.
Although Dongfang Su was not poisoned, he was related to Tao Xiyuan. She couldn't let him get away. She said, "Although my son wasn't poisoned, he became like this when he came to eat with you! You dare to say that you have nothing to do with it? You must have deliberately let him eat like this!"
She had indeed let him eat like this because she had put something in it. It was the chilies that were planted with the seeds in the Sacred Mountain Sack. However, there were not many of these chilies in the entire country. Perhaps only in the番 country could they be found.
Moreover, it was said that the chilies could make people sweat profusely if they were soaked in the soup. She had originally wanted to use it to adjust the spiciness of the hotpot, but she had used it on Dongfang Su first.
She knew what she was doing, so she was naturally calm. She asked Dr. Sun, "Dr. Sun, is there anything that can make him eat like this?"
Dr. Sun thought for a moment and shook his head. "I have heard of such an extremely spicy thing in the番 country. However, this thing is not something that an ordinary person can easily get their hands on."
At this point, the truth had been revealed. Tao Xiyuan looked at Soong Qing and said, "You heard what Dr. Sun said. I'm just a farmer, and I don't have as much experience as you do. I don't know how Dongfang Su was tricked. Maybe he has offended someone powerful."
Soong Qing never expected this outcome. The situation had gone far beyond her expectations, especially Tao Xiyuan's last sentence. It stirred up thousands of waves in her heart. If it wasn't for Tao Xiyuan, who would have done this to her son?
The moment this thought came out, she was shocked by herself. She had thought of all her enemies in the past.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Her back felt a little cold.
On the other hand, Dongfang Su, who was in the sedan, became anxious when he heard that it had nothing to do with Tao Xiyuan. "It can't be someone else! There is clearly something wrong with your dish. You can't get it, but that doesn't mean Soong Junlian can't get it!"
The moment these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
Indeed, the current Soong Junlian was a high-ranking official. He had been in the capital for so many years, so who could say for sure?
Soong Qing knew the grudge between the two of them. It was not impossible for Soong Junlian to harm Su. For a moment, she couldn't help but look at Soong Junlian with more scrutiny.
"Why? If you can't get rid of me, why don't you just change to him?" Tao Xiyuan sneered. "From what you said, if he can get it, how could you not? Maybe this play was directed by the two of you to make Soong Junlian chase me out of the house!"
Soong Qing's expression was ugly to the extreme. She had underestimated this slut!
In front of everyone, she had no choice but to force a smile. "Xi, what are you saying? Is aunt like that? Today, I misunderstood you, so I won't bother with you anymore. But as Junlian's wife, you should act like a wife. Be more magnanimous. You should stop being so petty."
She acted like she was lecturing, making Tao Xiyuan extremely disgusted.
It was obvious that they were in the wrong, but in the end, it was as if she was in the wrong.
Alright, since she wanted to act, then she would act until the end.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Yes, I know that you have always been biased against me, especially when your husband has returned with success. You all look down on me.
In terms of status, I am not worthy of him, but is it because of this that my efforts are worthless? That's why you guys are trying to force me to leave?
No, you guys aren't forcing me to leave. You want to kill me. If Dr. Sun hadn't been here today, what would have happened to me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, tears flowed down her beautiful face. It made Soong Junlian's heart ache.
He reached out to wipe away the tears on her face and said with a determined gaze, "Xi, in my heart, no one can compare to you. In terms of compatibility, I am the one who is not worthy of you. I am the one who made you suffer."
Tao Xiyuan did not expect Soong Junlian to say such a thing, and she was stunned for a moment.
She did not answer. Soong Junlian turned to look at Soong Qing, "Aunt, what happened today is a bit too much. You should apologize to Xi."
"Apologize to her?" Soong Qing was so angry that her voice could not help but rise a bit. Her face turned cold, "Junlian, I hope you remember what your surname is. Don't let other people be blinded by it."
Soong Junlian said indifferently, "I remember it clearly. It's also because of this that I will never be an ungrateful person in the Soong family."
Soong Qing had been repeatedly contradicted in public. Her face was already unable to hold on any longer, and she was so angry that her eyes were spinning.
Soong Junlian walked towards the sedan chair again and lifted the curtain. He said to Dongfang Su, "And you, you should apologize to your sister-in-law as well."
"Wait!"
Soong Qing shouted. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late since Soong Junlian's movements were too fast.
In an instant, Dongfang Su's appearance was exposed in front of everyone.
"Hahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter. When everyone saw Dongfang Su's appearance, they laughed so hard that their tears flowed out.
