Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Miss is Unwell Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Miss is Unwell Xuexue: “You should stay by Lady Tang’s side. If anything comes up, I’ll naturally send someone to find you.”

“After what happened today, will she still trust me?” Doctor Wang’s heart was fraught with unease. It was the sense of having no way out at Lady Tang’s that made him decide to turn to Xuexue for support.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought it all through for you.” With that, Xuexue leaned in close to his ear and whispered a few sentences.

Upon hearing her plan, Doctor Wang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he repeatedly said, “Thank you, Miss Situ.”

“Hmm! You should go back now. The less people know about our relationship, the better.”

“Miss Situ, rest assured. I made sure to avoid everyone on my way here.”

“Hmm! Go back now.”

“Yes, Miss Situ.” Doctor Wang left, elated. He had arrived with a face full of worries but departed with a look of ease.

Only after his figure had vanished did Zi Xia speak up, “Miss Situ, do you think Doctor Wang is reliable?”

Xuexue shook her head: “Someone who can betray his master of over ten years so easily is certainly not to be trusted.”

“Then why…”

Zi Xia looked at Xuexue, utterly baffled, wondering to herself, What is Miss Situ thinking? Knowing full well that Doctor Wang is not trustworthy, why would she still draw him to her side?

“It’s still good to have someone to watch over Lady Tang. As the saying goes, ‘Even a hundred secrets will have one oversight.’ Having an extra layer of insurance is better.”

Zi Xia nodded, indicating her agreement.

The next day

Shortly after breakfast, the War Prince arrived at the General’s Mansion with dozens of followers and a doctor in tow.

As was customary, Situ Yongjie greeted the War Prince at the entrance with his family members.

“Prince, please.” Situ Yongjie respectfully ushered the War Prince into the house.

In the past few days, the War Prince had been frequenting the General’s Mansion.

Rumors were already swirling throughout the Capital, with gossip that the War Prince had taken a liking to Second Miss Situ and, in order to cure her biological mother of poison, was seeking renowned doctors everywhere just to win a smile from the beauty.

“Hmm!”

The War Prince, distracted, glanced sideways at the family members behind Situ Yongjie, noticing that besides Lady Tang’s children, there was no one else. He felt a twinge of disappointment.

Following his gaze, Situ Yongjie knew exactly what was on his mind and said, “Prince, Xuexue is feeling a little under the weather today, so she got up late and didn’t come over to greet you. I hope you, in your generosity, won’t hold it against her.”

“Miss Situ was fine yesterday. How could she be unwell after just one night?”

“I’m not sure either. Perhaps she caught a cold during the night.” Situ Yongjie walked alongside the War Prince, talking while they headed straight for Lady Tang’s room.

It was at that moment that a commotion arose behind them.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around to look.

They saw Prince Pu and Princess Consort Pu rushing over with several attendants in tow.

Indeed, today was a matter of life and death for Lady Tang.

As her parents, they were undoubtedly anxious.

Especially Princess Consort Pu, who normally dressed opulently, had noticeably grown haggard in the past two days. Even thick makeup couldn’t hide the wrinkles on her face.

“War Prince, you must stand up for my daughter.” As soon as Princess Consort Pu saw the War Prince, she began to lament, and not even Prince Pu could hold her back.

“My daughter has a kind heart and would never poison anyone. What’s more, she’s the one who’s been poisoned now. Where in the world is there someone so foolish as to poison themselves and end up suffering from their own poison? War Prince, it just doesn’t make sense! Besides, such a thing could never happen. You must stand up for my daughter!” Having finished, Princess Consort Pu took her handkerchief, covered her face, and wept bitterly.
