Song Family, a tangled mess.
Xie Ruotong’s body was covered in blood when Song Yanqing carried her back to Xie Ruotong’s room.
Ming Yufang reacted and hastily had someone call for the doctor, quickly arranging for servants to assist.
Xie Ruilin was also terrified by the sight of Xie Ruotong all covered in blood.
She had thought about letting Xie Ruotong die.
But truly seeing Xie Ruotong lying in a pool of blood was somewhat unexpected.
The horror of Xie Ruotong wanting to kill her was still lingering.
At this moment, was Xie Ruotong going to die?!
Then she would become the Song Family’s young madam.
And from then on, there would be no one else to compete with her for this position.
The terror in Xie Ruilin’s heart instantly turned into joy.
This time, it was originally just a plan to kill Qiao’er, to make Xie Ruotong lose control, and then to deliberately torment Xie Ruotong, to intentionally make her miserable.
She hadn’t anticipated that there would actually be an unexpected gain.
For her sake, Song Yanqing actually had Mu Dong stab Xie Ruotong with a sword.
Song Yanqing’s face turned pale with fright now.
It was because, if Xie Ruotong died, the Song Family certainly wouldn’t be able to explain it to her grandmother.
Song Yanqing had no feelings for Xie Ruotong.
If there were feelings.
He wouldn’t have let Mu Dong stab Xie Ruotong.
Xie Ruilin just watched as Song Yanqing, holding Xie Ruotong, hurried away.
She turned to glance at Chun Tao.
Not caring about her life or death, she followed Ming Yufang to Xie Ruotong’s room.
She wanted to watch Xie Ruotong die with her own eyes.
Die right in front of her.
From then on, there would no longer be anyone who threatened her.
Inside Xie Ruotong’s room.
Xie Ruotong’s complexion was devoid of blood.
Her face was frighteningly pale.
The doctor hurried over, hastily checking Xie Ruotong’s pulse and inspecting her wound, then shook his head.
This shake of the head made Song Yanqing’s heart constrict.
He suddenly couldn’t breathe anymore.
He looked at the doctor.
At this moment, he unexpectedly didn’t dare to ask the doctor what the shaking of his head meant.
"How is she?" It was Ming Yufang beside him who asked, full of nervousness.
The doctor respectfully answered, "The young madam has lost too much blood and her pulse is weak. I’m afraid... the outlook is grim."
"What, what?" Ming Yufang was clearly overwhelmed by the shock.
If Xie Ruotong really died.
How could their Song Family explain this to the Duke Mansion, to the elder princess?!
What should be done about this?
Her heart was also in a state of panic.
Yet Xie Ruilin was secretly smirking viciously.
She deserves to die, Xie Ruotong does.
From the moment she was kidnapped, she was already as good as dead out there.
Xie Ruilin even recalled, at this moment, the scene of Xie Ruotong being abducted.
Though she was young at the time.
In fact, she was only a little more than a year younger than Xie Ruotong.
So she also had memories of Xie Ruotong’s abduction, still fresh in her mind.
She just watched with open eyes as Xie Ruotong was forcefully taken away by a black-clad man.
Pretended not to see.
She didn’t call for help to rescue Xie Ruotong in time.
Even though Xie Ruotong, with her mouth covered, kept begging her for help with her eyes.
After Xie Ruotong was kidnapped, the Duke Mansion couldn’t find her no matter how they searched.
She thought Xie Ruotong would never return.
But unexpectedly, she came back.
She came back and stole her betrothal.
But in the end, wasn’t the result the same?!
Xie Ruilin was full of irony.
"Summon the Princess Consort of Prince Chen." Song Yanqing suddenly spoke.
His voice, excessively calm.
As if, at this very moment, Xie Ruotong’s life hanging by a thread had not induced any tension in him at all.
He was just handling some troublesome matter as usual.
Maintaining his usual calm and composed demeanor.
"I will immediately send someone to summon the Princess Consort of Prince Chen," said Ming Yufang hurriedly.
She had also heard that the Princess Consort’s medical skills were astonishing, as if Hua Tuo had been reborn.
Ming Yufang left in a hurried flurry.
Song Yanqing then turned back to the doctor and asked, "Based on her current condition, how long can she hold on?"
"It’s difficult to say," the doctor hurriedly replied. "The young madam’s pulse is very weak. She might pass away immediately, but she might also hold on... it all depends on the young madam’s own willpower."
Song Yanqing listened and nodded.
He appeared to be completely calm.
His hands, continuously repressing trembling, unceasingly shaking.
"I will prepare some medicinal soup for the young madam to stabilize her heart; perhaps it will help somewhat."
"Good," Song Yanqing responded in agreement.
Now his mind was full of the thought: Xie Ruotong must wait for the arrival of the Princess Consort of Prince Chen.
