Han Sifu glared at Liu Yunheng and refused to let him get close to Miaomiao.

However, Miaomiao's condition was also very bad. Her face was pale and her whole body was twitching. Fortunately, the doctor was quickly called in. After diagnosis, she used silver needles to disperse the cold in her body and prescribed another prescription.

After the medicine was boiled and Miaomiao drank it, she stopped shivering and her expression gradually calmed down.

Liu Yunxiang asked Han Sifu to guard Miaomiao. She and Liu Yunheng sent the doctor out and asked what kind of illness Miaomiao was suffering from.

"Why is it so menacing?" Liu Yunheng asked.

The doctor sighed, "Many children in the city have been sick recently. The same illness starts with chills in the body, then coughing, shortness of breath, and then vomiting blood."

"You mean my daughter also suffers from this disease?" Liu Yunheng asked hurriedly.

The doctor was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid so."

Liu Yunxiang's heart started to feel cold when he thought of the son of the old Zhang family.

"Can this disease be cured?" Liu Yunheng asked.

The doctor sighed and said, "Nothing can be cured. It can take as short as two or three days, or as long as seven or eight days, and the condition will take a turn for the worse. The Queen Mother and Mr. Liu, please be prepared."

After saying that, the doctor shook his head and was about to leave when Han Sifu rushed out.

"No, doctor, you must save my daughter, you must save her!" Han Sifu almost collapsed when she heard the doctor's words. Seeing the doctor shaking his head, she knelt down.

"Save my daughter, nothing will happen to her!"

Liu Yunheng stepped forward to help Han Sifu, but she pushed him away and growled, "Don't touch me!"

"Sif, don't do this, let's find a way."

"Stop pretending to be kind, it was you and Tang Yu'er who harmed my daughter!"

Liu Yunheng sighed, "Miaomiao is ill. No one harmed her."

"She gave my daughter that persimmon and she got sick!"

"You think too much!"

"It's her!"

"Persimmon cakes?" The doctor exclaimed, and then asked: "But the persimmon cakes from Miaoyun Temple outside the city?"

Liu Yunxiang asked Han Sifu and Liu Yunheng to calm down first, and then asked the doctor if there was anything wrong with the persimmon cake.

"One of the few children I saw ate this persimmon. Maybe I was just overthinking it."

"The persimmons he eats come from Miaoyun Temple?"

The doctor nodded, "There are several persimmon trees planted in the backyard of Miaoyun Nunnery. Every autumn, the yellow and orange persimmons are picked and dried into persimmons, which are then distributed to the children nearby. In previous years, it was fine, but this year it was fine. There shouldn't be anything wrong, it's just that when I was treating one of the children, the parents thought that the child just ate persimmons and had poor digestion, so they didn't take it seriously at first, but then they realized something was wrong when the child became seriously ill."

At this point, the doctor shook his head again, "Maybe I'm overthinking."

Liu Yunxiang first asked Zijin to send the doctor out, and then asked Liu Yunheng to send someone to call Tang Yuer.

"Sister, are you thinking too much?" Liu Yunheng frowned.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Go in and see Miaomiao, and ask yourself, are you worthy of this child?"

"I……"

"If Tang Yu'er really harmed Miaomiao, you are an accomplice!"

Liu Yunheng swayed for a moment and looked at Han Sifu again, who was looking at him with hatred. This made him start to panic, and he quickly asked the people around him to call Tang Yu'er.

After waiting for a long time, Tang Yuer came.

She folded her arms, looking injured and weak.

"Queen Mother, Sir, Madam." She stepped forward and saluted, pretending to be exhausted. She originally wanted Liu Yunheng to help her, but Liu Yunheng didn't move, so she had to stay still. "Master, you came here to find me, but something happened?" She looked at Liu Yunheng and asked softly.

Liu Yunheng asked coldly: "Where did you get the persimmons you gave Miaomiao to eat?"

Tang Yu'er's eyes turned red with grievance, "But the girl vomited again. I deserve death. I shouldn't have let her eat that persimmon. But I also like the girl, so I really don't have any bad intentions."

"I asked you where did those persimmons come from?"

"It's just bought on the street."

"Someone, go and call the maid next to Aunt Tang!"

"Master, what are you doing?" Tang Yu'er asked guiltily.

Liu Yunheng looked at her coldly, "Didn't you say you bought it from the street? I just wanted to verify it with her."

"You don't believe me?"

"It doesn't hurt to ask for confirmation."

Tang Yu'er bit her lower lip, and then changed her words: "Oh, I remembered it wrong. This persimmon cake should have been bought from Miaoyun Nunnery outside the city. Looking at my memory, I went to Miaoyun Nunnery two days ago. My husband and his wife burned incense and prayed for blessings, and heard that Miaoyun Temple sold persimmon cakes. They thought that the persimmon tree grew in a place where gods and Buddhas were worshiped, and the persimmons it produced must be made into persimmon cakes, which would bring blessings, so they bought some."

"Where's the rest?" Liu Yunxiang asked hurriedly.

"In my house."

Liu Yunxiang winked at Zijin, who nodded. Then she looked at Tang Yu'er, "Many children in the city got sick after eating Miaoyun'an's persimmons. Do you know this?"

Tang Yuer's eyes widened, "I really don't know!"

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand and slapped him, "You really don't know?"

Tang Yu'er knelt down and said, "The Queen Mother clearly knows that I really don't know. If I knew, how could I give it to the girl to eat? Besides, the persimmon cakes have been eaten by me and the maid next to me, so there is no hindrance."

Han Sifu pointed at Tang Yu'er and repeatedly said that she must have harmed Miaomiao, while Tang Yu'er cried and shouted that she was wronged.Liu Yunheng frowned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, Zi Jin came back and took the maid next to Tang Yu'er into custody.The maidservant walked in circles, obviously she had been taught a lesson by Zijin.

When he arrived, Zijin kicked the maid, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Liu Yunheng was confused.

Liu Yunxiang ignored him, only looked at the maid, and said coldly: "The doctor just came here and said that the girl is very ill. Have you thought clearly about it? Do you really want to be an accomplice?"

The maid shrank in fright and hurriedly looked at Tang Yu'er.

Tang Yu'er shook her head at her, and then cried and complained: "The Queen Mother, if the girl gets sick because of that persimmon cake, I cannot defend myself. I beg the Queen Mother to grant me death."

Liu Yunxiang didn't look at Tang Yu'er, but still looked at the maid.

"I have always made a clear distinction between right and wrong. Whoever's fault is who is at fault will not be implicated. Of course, I have given you a chance. Let's see if you cherish it."

"Slave..."

As soon as the maid opened her mouth, Tang Yu'er suddenly stood up and hit the stone pillar in front of the door.Liu Yunheng was about to stop him, but Liu Yunxiang held him back.

Tang Yu'er originally wanted someone to stop her, but no one stopped her. She couldn't really kill herself, so she pretended to trip and fell to the steps.

"I was born in a poor family and suffered the fate of an ant. Please pay it to the lady and the girl!"

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "I agree, you can end it on your own."

When Tang Yu'er heard this, she was so scared that her tears froze, and finally she could only look to Liu Yunheng for help.

No matter how stupid Liu Yunheng was, he could see it. He turned his head indifferently and looked at the maid, "Why don't you tell the truth quickly!" (End of Chapter)
