Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again! -
Chapter 236 Threat
Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Threat
He plotted a murder, and although he did not succeed, he still committed a crime, yet he still stands on a moral high ground, claiming it was for Xiao Chen and for the Xiao Family’s good.
Indeed, if they’re not from one family, they do not enter the same door; each one of them is unbelievably selfish.
"Mom." Xiao Yisha frowned, how could she be here to plead for mercy and admit wrongdoing? Couldn’t she see that the aunt’s face was getting more and more out of sorts?
"Aunt, my mom didn’t mean that, my dad... he just listened to the instigation of a villain for a moment and took the wrong path... Considering the years I have spent diligently treating your illness, could you speak to my elder brother and let my dad go... After all, he’s his uncle, and although bones may break, the sinews still hold them together..."
She looked at Jiang Qiong nervously, honestly uncertain if she could persuade her. The aunt was far from as simple and easygoing as she appeared on the surface; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to support such a large Xiao Family on her own.
Jiang Qiong twirled her fingertips, smiling at the mother and daughter, "It’s not up to me to decide this matter. Whoever sent your second uncle in, go find them. He harmed my daughter-in-law, and the fact that I have not kicked you while you’re down is already as merciful as I can be towards your branch."
She had fallen ill last time, and it was thanks to the second branch that she almost ended up reporting to King Yan himself.
These years, Xiao Yisha indeed helped her with her treatment, but she knew all too well the hardships she had endured herself. She took medicine every day, but there was no improvement, even though she was the youngest authoritative cardiologist from the Medical Organization. Her medical skills were not even as good as the divine doctor her son found. She shouldn’t insult Elder Fei’s family reputation.
Mrs. Xu had told her that on that day, she blocked the divine doctor from treating her. Yet, even though her skills were not as good, she did not admit it. If a person was incompetent, so were their medical skills.
Yang Li gritted her teeth, "Big sister, you mustn’t mix personal vendettas with public duty! If the elder brother wakes up and sees how you’ve treated his own brother, he will..."
She suddenly caught the sight of a pair of cold eyes, her words stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t muster the courage to speak them out loud.
"Do you think he would care about brotherly affection?" Jiang Qiong’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, chilling to the bone.
Brother Chang had already done everything he could for the Xiao Family and his brothers. It was enough that they were ungrateful, but they even tried to harm him in secret. When trouble arose, they remembered their brotherly affection. How laughable.
Yang Li’s crying suddenly stopped, and she stared blankly at Jiang Qiong, lost in her thoughts. As fellow Ladies of the Xiao Family, why was she able to stand so high above her, overpowering her at every turn, even forcing her to plead so lowly?
Xiao Yisha spoke coldly, "Aunt, do you really not care about the many years of kinship?"
Her fingernails dug tightly into her palm. It was merely a matter of asking Xiao Chen for a favor; she was Xiao Chen’s mother, she would surely listen to her.
It was such an easy thing to do, yet she just didn’t want to help!
"Leave!" Jiang Qiong’s face was cold; she didn’t want to waste any more words on them.
Xiao Yisha bit her lip, they had come to her, humbled, begging, how could she be like this.
She stood rooted to the spot, unmoving no matter how much Yang Li tugged at her, her lips quivering, "Yisha..."
Yang Li’s resentful gaze fixed on Jiang Qiong. The main branch had everything, and whatever the second, third, or fourth branch did, they needed permission from the main branch. She was fed up with living like this!
Xiao Yisha, hearing her voice, let herself be pulled away. She hadn’t walked far when she stopped, her body motionless, her voice cold and threatening, "Aunt, even if you don’t care about family ties, do you not care about uncle either?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong’s expression changed, and as if a thorn was on her back, Xiao Yisha’s spine stiffened, and a chill spread in her heart.
A "tch" sound came from behind, and her grip on her palm tightened.
"What are you trying to say?"
She turned around, her expression aloof and confident, slightly tilting up her chin, "I am the youngest and most favored disciple of Fei Canqing from the Medical Organization. I know the majority of the doctors. My uncle’s attending physician is my senior brother. If my senior brother, or perhaps the entire Medical Organization’s doctors refuse to treat my uncle, I believe my uncle might never wake up."
"Yisha, you..." Yang Li looked at her incredulously.
She must be insane!
She’s only going to make Jiang Qiong resent the second branch even more!
It’s still uncertain if her father can get out, and if she offends Jiang Qiong again, how will she and her mother survive in the Xiao Family?!
Jiang Qiong’s phoenix eyes narrowed; the mocking smile she had just a moment ago was gone, leaving only an icy, bone-chilling coldness.
At nearly 50 years old, despite her excellent maintenance, she couldn’t hide the marks of time, with fine wrinkles showing at the corners of her eyes, clearly irritated.
If one observed carefully, they would notice her hands tightly clutching the handkerchief, revealing an uncommon panic in her heart.
"Aunt, everyone gets sick at some point, and anyone can be offended, except for doctors..." Xiao Yisha’s lips curled into a smile. Despite Jiang Qiong’s attempt to appear composed, Xiao Yisha caught a glimpse of panic in her eyes.
Are you scared now?
Finally, you can taste our pain, the feeling of being at someone else’s mercy isn’t pleasant, is it?
"Hopefully, Aunt, you’ve taken my words to heart. Perhaps you should think it over carefully, after all, Uncle’s well-being is important, isn’t it?"
Xiao Yisha gave her a glance from the corner of her eyes, then walked away with the click-clack of her high heels, her steps much lighter than before.
"Yisha, you were really too impulsive just now. How could she possibly help us after what you said..." Yang Li’s eyes, already dry, started to moisten again.
"Mom, just relax. Groveling before her not only diminishes our status, but it will also make her even less likely to help us. It’s better to negotiate with her on equal terms!"
Without the Xiao Family, she could still thrive in Beijing. After all, she was a disciple of Fei Canqing from the Medical Organization; who wouldn’t show her respect?
She was confident that Uncle held great importance in Jiang Qiong’s heart and that she would definitely go to Xiao Chen to plead on their behalf.
As for Xiao Chen, if he still wanted Uncle to wake up, he would have to make the same decision as Aunt and let her dad out.
"Can this really work?" Yang Li still had doubts; if things went wrong, Xiao Jingping might never be released.
"Just wait for the good news," Xiao Yisha’s lips tilted up in a corner. Joining the Medical Organization and becoming Fei Elder’s disciple was the best decision of her life.
Even high-level officials and notable figures in Beijing would seek her out for assistance when ill.
A gleam flickered in her eyes as she remembered her father’s words.
Lan City again... If she could, she would choose to never return to Lan City in her life, but she was curious about the woman Xiao Chen fancies.
A high school girl from Lan City dreaming of entering the Xiao Family’s doors?
"Mom, go back home. I need to go out for a bit."
Yang Li stood there, wiped away her tears, and asked in a dazed tone, "Where are you going?"
With the current situation, she was anxious with her daughter not home; there was no one to confide in truthfully, and none of her sisters-in-law were reliable.
Xiao Yisha frowned, "Mom, why don’t you visit Grandpa’s house to clear your mind?"
She was rarely home and now, with this incident, she was not at ease knowing her mother was all alone at home.
