After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 175 Targeting

Luo Qingqing was referred to as the Second Madam, a decision personally made by Yuan Ruying, the head of the Yuan family.

Although some people were dissatisfied, Yuan Ruying's attitude was very firm. Those who disobeyed the head of the family were severely punished, and some even lost their lives as a result.

Such a show of force immediately forced most people to submit and address Luo Qingqing as the Second Madam.

Even Yuan Yutong and the others were ordered by Yuan Ruying to change their way of speaking.

This situation seemed absurd and humiliating to Yuan Yutong, but reality was too cruel. Her mother, Tian Jiao'e, had fallen into a coma and was in critical condition. They didn't want any more accidents to happen, so they had to back down first.

Although Yuan Ruying and Tian Jiao'e have been married for many years, they are now only superficially united.

Yuan Ruying loved Luo Qingqing more; she had liked him even before they got married.

Later, Luo Qingqing reappeared in front of Yuan Ruying, which immediately won Yuan Ruying's heart, and she directly took Luo Qingqing as her concubine.

If it weren't for some reservations, Yuan Ruying would have wanted to elevate Luo Qingqing to the status of a secondary wife.

Of course, after the accident involving Tian Jia and Tian Jiao'e, Yuan Ruying had even fewer scruples and was planning to find an auspicious day to elevate Luo Qingqing to the status of a secondary wife.

Previously, unable to grant Luo Qingqing the position of principal wife, Yuan Ruying felt guilty towards Luo Qingqing and instructed people to address Luo Qingqing as the Second Madam. This was also to show her respect and care for Luo Qingqing and to prevent others from easily offending her.

The matter of elevating Luo Qingqing to the status of a secondary wife was formally brought up, and preparations began. This forced everyone to recognize the reality of the situation and to address Luo Qingqing as the Second Madam in advance, so that no one would dare to provoke her anymore.

Especially after Luo Qingqing gained control of the household and made more use of her own people, most of the power in the household fell into Luo Qingqing's hands, and the others had no choice but to obey.

Although this was not exactly in accordance with the rules, Yuan Ruying personally gave the order and even disciplined several servants who did not address Luo Qingqing according to these requirements. She also declared that she would elevate Luo Qingqing to the status of a secondary wife, which forced others to re-evaluate Luo Qingqing's importance in Yuan Ruying's eyes.

Now that they know how much Yuan Ruying values ​​Luo Qingqing, they won't do anything that would be displeasing.

Although Yuan Yutong felt disgusted by such things, she had no choice but to succumb to reality and follow suit.

At least until their mother, Tian Jiao'e, regained consciousness, their situation in the mansion was not good, and they had no choice but to submit in this way.

After listening to what the physician Huang Runmo said, Luo Qingqing felt even more agitated.

If the head of the family, Yuan Ruying, were to encounter any serious problems, or even be in danger of losing her life, then her side would inevitably be negatively affected.

Although she had taken control of the Yuan family and plowed through the power within the household, significant problems still existed, and her foundation was not yet completely secure.

Moreover, Yuan Ruying had her accident here. If Yuan Ruying cannot recover quickly and clear her name, she will face a lot of trouble later.

For the time being, the rest of the Yuan family had not yet reacted. Yuan Ruying and Tian Jiao'e were both unconscious. As the only elder in the household who could continue to manage the household and hold power in her own hands, she needed to handle these matters well and stabilize her position in the Yuan family.

But what did Huang Runmo mean by those words? Was he trying to pin the blame on Yuan Ruying, the head of the family, for her accident?

What does it mean that Yuan Ruying ate something that caused her to become like this? Is this implying that someone else poisoned the head of the family, Yuan Ruying, and killed her?

Realizing this, Luo Qingqing's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Noticing the change in how others looked at her, Luo Qingqing realized the negative impact of Huang Runmo's words was beginning to take effect, and her impression of Huang Runmo worsened.

She had no intention of offending Huang Runmo, so what did Huang Runmo mean by asking her this?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Luo Qingqing wiped her eyes with a handkerchief before shaking her head, her eyes still wet. She said, "What does Doctor Huang mean by this? The head of the family has only just arrived here and hasn't had a drop of water yet, and suddenly this has happened. How am I supposed to know what's wrong with the head of the family?"

“I asked the people who are with the head of the family before, and they all said that the head of the family went out on business today and did not eat anything. He was planning to come here to have a meal with me after returning to the manor, but who would have thought that the head of the family would be like this before he even ate anything!”

"Huang Physician, Chen Physician, you examined the master's pulse, couldn't you even tell that the master hasn't eaten for a long time?"

Fortunately, Yuan Ruying collapsed suddenly when she first arrived at Ningxiangju. She hadn't eaten anything there, let alone been poisoned by medicine.

This is not something she can be blamed for.

However, Huang Runmo's question just now was an attempt to pin the blame on her.

Who instigated this action? Was it Yuan Yutong or Yuan Zhiman?

If that's really the case, then during this time she needs to find a way to send these two menaces away and not let them come back for the time being, lest they urgently come to harm her!

And this Huang Runmo, she also needs to investigate his background, lest he come out and cause her trouble!

Upon hearing Luo Qingqing's reply, Huang Runmo remained calm, shook his head, and said, "Second Madam, I have not made a mistake in my diagnosis."

"The patriarch did indeed fall ill after eating something, but it wasn't something he ate at the Second Madam's place. He ate it on the way out on business today."

"Actually, it's not exactly poisoning, but rather that the food the head of the family ate wasn't suitable for his physical condition, which caused this problem."

"I also hope to know the specific situation so that I can treat the symptoms and try to wake up the head of the family as soon as possible. I have no other intention. Please forgive me, Second Madam."

The Yuan family's fortunes have been getting worse lately. Even the head of the family, Yuan Ruying, has encountered such a serious problem, so it seems unlikely that things will recover.

Although Huang Runmo knew all this, he still wanted to use this method to explain Yuan Ruying's accident so that they could believe him.

Once the poisoning is confirmed, he will have the final say on the subsequent treatment.

In any case, after such an accident, Yuan Ruying will most likely not be able to regain consciousness so quickly. As for how to prescribe medicine and how to treat her, we will have to listen to him.
