Chapter 237 Aunt An's confusion attracts evil wolves
After appeasing the clan elders, Jiang Shiyuan turned his attention to Pei Zitian.

Aunt An was a little scared when she saw this, so she stepped out to block it. Mrs. Pei saw that her face became even uglier and she looked over with cold eyes. Aunt An couldn't help feeling a little afraid.

"what are you up to?"

"Father, what are you talking about? I just wanted to take a look at my second brother and say a few words to him."

Marshal Pei's attitude is really different. Not to mention Mrs. Pei, even Jiang Shiyuan has some rebellious psychology, and always thinks that they are threatening the people of Aunt An's lineage.

No wonder Pei Ziyao and the others were so unhappy.

Jiang Shiyuan glanced at Pei Laoshuai, who probably realized his own misconduct, so he calmed down a little. Pei Zitian was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Jiang Shiyuan.

"If you have any instructions, just tell me directly."

His attitude made Mrs. Pei feel a little relieved, otherwise this trip would only add another layer of grievances between the two sides. Jiang Shiyuan nodded. She had no opinion about him, and she had mentioned his abilities in some casual conversations with her husband before.

Jiang Shiyuan did not want to seize power right away. Not only would he make many enemies, but it would also not be smooth sailing. Therefore, instead of making people panic, it would be better to proceed step by step.

"Second brother, you are too polite. Although we are temporarily in charge of the family head's seal, it is better to follow the old rules for all matters. The matters you have managed over the years have accounts to follow. It can be seen that you are sincerely doing good for the Pei family, so you should be in charge of this mess for the time being."

Pei Zitian could hear the sincerity in his sister-in-law's tone, and some confusion flashed in his eyes, but he soon let it go. After figuring out why Jiang Shiyuan did this, he immediately agreed.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Everything will remain the same until big brother comes back. There will be no changes."

"Well, I believe you."

Just three words, but Pei Zitian was moved and his nose was sore. If it was someone else saying it, it would be fine, but coming from his sister-in-law, it made him feel a little at a loss. Originally, he had made plans to pay the bill after the seal of the head of the family was handed over. With Mrs. Pei's ability, it would be easy for her to find someone to replace him and take over these businesses.

Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law trusted him.

So Pei Zitian has a little hope at this moment. If they put aside the grudges of the elders, will they and their brothers and sisters have the opportunity to live a life like ordinary people?

Aunt An and Marshal Pei had complicated expressions. When they looked at Jiang Shiyuan, they seemed to be wondering what her purpose was. On the contrary, Mrs. Pei looked at Jiang Shiyuan with appreciation. Her son had really good taste!
It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. She couldn't do it because there were lives and years between them. But it would be better if the children could have fewer enemies.

"Okay, now that today's matter is over, let's go first."

After Mrs. Pei spoke, no one had anything to refute, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came and took away the most important things of the Pei family, and then left the old house.

In the evening, Mu Shao came to the door in person.

When they saw her, Marshal Pei and Aunt An were like seeing a savior. Pei Zixing in the room had already been coaxed by them to drink a tranquilizer and was now sleeping soundly without any resistance.

Taking the pulse and observing the complexion are all done in one go.

Mu Shao even used a silver needle to draw a little blood from her fingertips, then put it in a teacup and poured a little powder into it. Strangely enough, the powder seemed to have vitality and quickly wrapped around the few drops of blood, like pink balls, which looked a little weird. No one present had ever seen this way of asking questions.

Sure enough, Mu Shao was extraordinary, so everyone was waiting for her to speak.

"Her weakness is partly due to her mother's frailty, and partly due to the poison in her body. Judging from the blood drops in the cup, she has been poisoned for at least seven or eight years. You can think about whether she has ever taken any secret remedies or medicines?"

Mu Shao was calm and composed when she said this.

But Marshal Pei and Aunt An were stunned. For so many years, they had always believed that their daughter's physical condition was caused by a congenital weakness, but they didn't expect that there was actually a poison!
Aunt An's hands were shaking violently, and she spoke with some fear in her eyes.

"It was the concubine of the Prince of Han. After she knew about Ah Xing's illness, she introduced me to a witch doctor who was from the mountains in northern Yunnan. At that time, Ah Xing was already beyond medical help, so I..."

Marshal Pei did not know about this matter. He was fighting outside at that time. When he came back, he only heard that the little girl almost died. She was saved because of timely medical treatment. Since she was born, there has always been a doctor in the Pei family's old house, so he did not take this matter to heart.

So when I heard this, I suddenly felt a chill.

"Are you talking about the concubine who died of illness a few days ago?"

"Exactly."

That concubine was a big thorn that Prince Chun had placed next to Prince Han. Could she be so kind as to ask the witch doctor to save her?

Marshal Pei didn't believe it at all. Fortunately, that man and his subordinates were eradicated by Zi Su, otherwise, wouldn't their Pei family be like a sieve?
"Can this poison be cured?"

"It can be cured, but I can't. This is a secret medicine, and outsiders cannot know the recipe. If we can find the witch doctor who cast the curse, there may still be a chance, but we have to do it as soon as possible. Her heart meridians are severely damaged, and she has at most half a year left."

Half a year, which was shorter than they had imagined.

At first they were prepared, thinking that the patient was beyond help, but now that he could be saved but couldn't find anyone to do it, it was a psychological torture.

Aunt An, who had already stopped crying, leaned in Marshal Pei's arms and cried uncontrollably.

"It's all my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have given birth to her. Not only did I let her suffer for so many years, but I also let a wolf into the house and let her be poisoned. If God had an eye, he would have given me my life in exchange for hers. Why did he let her suffer so much?"

As a mother, there was nothing wrong with her crying and shouting these words at this moment.

Marshal Pei felt distressed, Pei Zitian was heartbroken, but Mu Shao was not moved at all. He picked up a pen and left a prescription, then spoke to a few people.

"Take the medicine according to the prescription first. At least it can stabilize the condition and prevent it from getting worse. But when the time comes, even if the gods descend to earth, it will be useless. This is all I can do. So there is no need to seek medical treatment in the future. If you can't find the witch doctor, you'd better make plans as soon as possible."

After saying this, he left the old house without any hesitation.
