Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Sowing Discord Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Sowing Discord “Zhizhi, at such a young age you should be learning good things. When your third sister offers you a couple of words of advice, it’s for your benefit. How have you even learned to sow discord?” Situ Dieer felt helpless regarding her spoiled younger brother, Situ Zhi.

Situ Qinger was stunningly beautiful and exceptionally intelligent. Lady Tang’s favoritism toward her was no secret in the General’s Mansion.

Normally, Situ Yu, the fourth young lady, would air her grievances about this matter whenever she was upset.

In contrast, the third young lady, Situ Dieer, never fought or quarreled, nor did she speak ill of Situ Qinger; she would just gently smile at everything.

She was also the one Situ Qinger was most fond of, finding her third sister’s uncompetitive nature quite appealing.

As the siblings talked, they slowly walked further away.

After finishing his meal, War Prince left the General’s Mansion.

Xuexue bade farewell to Situ Yongjie and rode back to Qingyuo Pavilion on her big tiger.

Couple’s Courtyard

At dusk, Lady Tang, who had been unconscious for many days, finally awoke.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly went to prepare a bowl of light and plain rice congee in the kitchen.

When the doctor left, he specially instructed that since Lady Tang hadn’t had a drop of water in several days, she shouldn’t eat anything too greasy all at once. It was best to maintain a light diet because, although the poison had been expelled from her body, she was very weak and needed gradual nourishment.

“Where is Qinger? Why hasn’t she come to see me?” After finishing a bowl of congee, Lady Tang leaned against the bed with a bit of energy regained and looked up to ask her personal maid.

The several maids in the room all hemmed and hawed, their heads lowered, not daring to meet Lady Tang’s eyes.

“What on earth happened?” Sensing something was amiss, Lady Tang urgently pressed on.

Having no alternative, the maids reluctantly repeated everything that had transpired over the past few days.

The breath that Lady Tang had just regained almost left her in fury.

“Where is Doctor Wang? Bring Doctor Wang to me immediately.”

Lady Tang was furious and felt the room spin. The General’s Mansion she had painstakingly managed for over a decade had, overnight, been usurped by Situ Yongjie–her ire was unsurprising!

“Yes, madam!”

Before the maid finished speaking,

Lady Tang picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it, angrily scolding, “Keep babbling nonsense, and believe it or not, I will kill you?”

The title “Concubine” was now taboo in her presence.

She did not acknowledge herself as a concubine, nor would she allow servants to address her as such.

The maid who had spoken, ran out as if fleeing.

Soon after, Doctor Wang was summoned.

The maids shrank back, staying well away from Lady Tang.

Fortunately for them, Lady Tang’s attention was entirely on Doctor Wang, allowing them to be momentarily neglected.

No sooner had Doctor Wang stepped through the door than Lady Tang lambasted him.

If she hadn’t been unconscious for the past few days and weak as a result, she would have had the mind to beat him up.

Doctor Wang was also feeling incredibly wronged in his heart.

There was nothing wrong with the prescription he had written.

It was Lady Tang who had mistakenly taken the wrong medicine, but she had pushed all the blame onto him.

Even Prince Pu had nearly killed him over it.

Who had he offended? What had he done to deserve this?

The masters of large households were indeed not to be trifled with.

“Madam, please think carefully, who actually took the medicine on the day of the incident?” Doctor Wang didn’t dare provoke Lady Tang further and spoke with utmost caution, fearing he might inadvertently stir up a hornet’s nest.

Lady Tang had a routine of asking Doctor Wang for some tonic medicine every so often to strengthen her body, and her personal maids were all aware of it.

Upon hearing this, Lady Tang carefully reconsidered the events of that day: “Nothing special, just like usual, it was Cai Ba who fetched the medicine.”

Cai Xia was one of Lady Tang’s personal maids, usually in charge of her tonic medicine and diet.
