Chapter 110 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (15)
"I just can't stand you, so what? Your father has always favored you since you were little. If it weren't for you, why would he neglect his perfectly good son and favor a brat like you? I'm the one who can bring glory to the Xia family! I am!"
Xia Wei's voice was almost hoarse, but he still roared at Xia Mingwei.
"When Father patiently taught you, it was you who were unmotivated, unwilling to learn martial arts, and even skipped classes. Now, you're blaming me for this?"
Xia Mingwei smiled contemptuously. "That's right. Someone as useless as you, unwilling to work hard and only wanting to shift the blame onto others! I must be stupid to waste my breath on someone like you."
After saying this, Xia Mingwei turned and left, completely ignoring Xia Wei's roaring behind her.
Only after Xia Mingwei had walked away did Xia Wei realize his current predicament. He had sent all the servants out of the courtyard beforehand to drug her. Now, he was the one being drugged, and there wasn't even anyone to help him!
The floor was freezing cold at night, and he lay there, struggling to get up. Perhaps because the poison was taking effect, his body quickly became too weak! He tried many times without success, and only then did he realize that he didn't even have the strength to get up from the ground!
Meanwhile, Xia Mingwei returned to her courtyard. After a quiet wash, she had a good night's sleep. After all, there was a tough battle to fight tomorrow!
Sure enough, the next day, as she was about to go out, she saw Zhou Ying at the corner of the courtyard.
When Zhou Ying saw her, her eyes were full of disbelief.
Forgetting even basic etiquette, she rushed up to Xia Mingwei, pointed at her, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xia Ming tilted her head slightly and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
Zhou Ying, standing to the side, instinctively said, "How could this be? How could you..."
Xia Mingwei stared intently into her eyes and asked, word by word, "Mother seemed quite surprised to see me unharmed? Do you perhaps think something should have happened to me?"
Perhaps someone had guessed what she was thinking, a hint of guilt flashed in Zhou Ying's eyes.
Looking at Zhou Ying's appearance, Xia Mingwei understood everything. It seemed that although Xia Wei hadn't informed Zhou Ying before attacking her, she had already guessed it.
It seems she always knew what Xia Mingwei would encounter, but she simply chose to stand by and watch coldly!
Xia Ming smiled sarcastically and continued to Zhou Ying, "Instead of arguing with me here, Mother, you should go to the study and see my sister. After all, she is the one you love most!"
Now that Xia Mingwei is Xia Wei, the "sister" she refers to is naturally not herself, but Xia Wei!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying grabbed Xia Mingwei and asked in a slightly accusatory tone, "What happened to your 'sister'? What did you do to your 'sister'?"
Even at this point, Xia Mingwei was surprised that Zhou Ying still hadn't revealed their identities to outsiders.
Xia Mingwei smiled and said, "Mother, why don't you just go to the study and see for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying could no longer contain herself and hurriedly walked towards the study.
Watching Zhou Ying's departing figure, Xia Mingwei became certain of one thing: the original owner of this body, her mother, was not innocent at all in the path that led Xia Mingwei to her death.
After sorting out her thoughts, Xia Mingwei summoned her confidants to discuss the arrangements for entering the palace that evening.
At the same time, Zhou Ying arrived at the study and saw Xia Wei lying unconscious on the floor, which made her panic.
She yelled anxiously at the maids and servants around her, "You bunch of clueless idiots! Can't you see the young master lying on the floor? Hurry up and help him to bed!"
These men were all servants bound by life-or-death contracts, so Zhou Ying had nothing to hide from them. They also knew that the eldest daughter of the family was actually the "eldest son." In wealthy families, knowing such a secret was never a good thing.
They not only had to tolerate the two masters' mad tempers on a daily basis, but also had to serve them with utmost care, fearing that they might be targeted if they were displeased. After all, they had signed a death pact; even if Zhou Ying and Xia Wei killed them, it wouldn't matter.
After several people worked together to lift Xia Wei onto the bed, Zhou Ying urged one of them to go outside the city to fetch a doctor.
Because they had to keep it a secret from the doctor, it took a lot of effort and several twists and turns to finally find a doctor from the suburbs.
Even on the way to the mansion, the doctor was blindfolded and brought in. If it weren't for the generous reward offered by this family, the doctor would have left long ago.
Having finally managed to invite the doctor to the mansion, they dared not delay for a moment and immediately had the doctor take Xia Wei's pulse.
The doctor took the pulse for a long time, during which he frowned and his brow remained furrowed for a long time. This was a pulse he had never seen before in his life.
Zhou Ying hurriedly asked from the side, "Doctor, how is my son's condition? Is he alright?"
The doctor put Xia Wei's hand down and shook his head at Xia's mother, "I am not knowledgeable enough to diagnose your son's illness. I would be grateful if you could find someone more skilled!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying nearly fainted on the spot. Only with the help of her maid did she manage to regain her balance.
Her mouth tasted bitter, and she asked, "Is there really no way?"
"Your son's illness is truly strange! But his high fever won't go down, so he must have caught a cold. I can prescribe a medicine to try! Perhaps it can make your son feel a little better temporarily!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ying was still not satisfied. But the current situation left her with no choice; everything could only be discussed after her son woke up.
Thinking of this, she glared fiercely at the maids and servants around her, the malice in her eyes impossible to conceal.
She yelled, "A bunch of lackeys! Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Hurry up and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine according to the doctor's prescription! If you're late, I'll skin you alive!"
Hearing this, the servants inside the room became even more frightened! They had to be extremely careful, lest they displease Zhou Ying and be in grave danger! In that case, they would truly be left with no one to turn to for help!
Seeing the lady of the house like this, the doctor shook his head inwardly. Judging from her tone, she was definitely not someone to be trifled with. He had been blinded by the exorbitant consultation fee today; how could he so easily take the money of such a wealthy family? If he were to accidentally uncover any secrets, he feared he wouldn't be able to save his old bones! It seemed he would have to be more careful in the future and avoid getting involved in the murky waters of such wealthy families again!
