Vomiting and diarrhea

  The morning three days later was spent in a hubbub.

  That morning, everyone went to pay their respects to the old lady as usual. However, after about an hour or so, the old lady started vomiting and having diarrhea. Mother Liu immediately told Yatou to inform Song Yuan, then invited a doctor to come to the Song residence.

  Everyone was crowded in Mrs. Chia's courtyard, their faces filled with anxiety.

  Song Lingyu looked at the old lady lying on the bed, her face pale. A thread of guilt surged in his heart, was he too harsh?

  The imperial physician Wang, who was exclusively responsible for the Song family's medical needs, walked over with a serious expression. Song Yuan and his wife immediately went to greet him: "Imperial Physician Wang, how is my mother?"

  The royal physician walked over to the table and asked Mrs. Liu again: "What did the old lady eat today?"

  Liu Mama stepped forward a few steps, pointing to the things on the table and said: "Old Madam had eaten the usual breakfast this morning, which was brought from the Song Mansion's kitchen. And when Missus asked for her blessing, Old Madam drank the osmanthus tea, that is...that is..."

  Everyone saw Mrs. Liu unable to speak and their hearts also rose with a single intuition, that is, there was something wrong with this Osmanthus tea!

  Song Linglong's face turned exceptionally ugly, grabbing Bixi's hand, her fingernails seemed to be pinching in. Bixi just lowered her head and didn't make a sound, even if it hurt, she had to grit her teeth and endure it!

  Song Yuan hastily asked Mrs. Liu: "Osmanthus tea? Who brought it?"

  "It's... it's Second Miss." Madame Liu stammered and finally managed to say it.

  Song Yuan turned his head, looking at Song Lingluo with surprise and doubt. He thought that this daughter, although spoiled, would never do such a thing. Song Lingluo saw Song Yuan looking at her and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Although she had brought the osmanthus tea, someone must have tampered with it. But who? The materials and steps for making osmanthus tea were carefully selected, and even when drying, Bi Wei was watching by their side. Who could have done such a thing under such precise conditions?

  At this time, Song Lingyu patted Song Linglong's hand and looked at Song Yuan: "Father, it can't be determined that it is the second sister now, nor can it be certain that there was a problem with that osmanthus tea."

  Someone in the crowd jumped out and pointed at Song Lingyu's nose, cursing: "Don't pretend to be kind, maybe it was you who did it!"

  Everyone was staring at the person who spoke, and that person was Song Qiaohui! Song Lingyu lowered her head, with a look of grievance but also not daring to speak. Song Yuan saw this, if there were no outsiders here, it would be fine, but there was also Wang Taizhen present, if it got out that the Song family's discipline was lax, that would be a big deal. At this point, he slapped Song Qiaohui hard: "What right do you have to speak here? Lingyu is your elder sister after all."

  Song Yuan said with a huff, Song Qiao Hui was beaten until she saw stars, if not for Song Qiao Xin's support, she would have fallen. Song Yuan turned to Song Ling Yu and said: "Ling Yu, as the eldest sister in the family, you can't always run outside, when you're free, teach your younger sister some etiquette."

  "This..." Song Lingyu slightly lowered her head, her eyes flickering: "Father, Third Sister and Fourth Sister are not close to me, they've always been with Second Sister. I already told Second Sister last time. Please ask Second Sister to take care of it."
