The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 996 - 227: Unwilling to Die

Chapter 996: Chapter 227: Unwilling to Die

Fang Li had the power to force Fang Liuming to resign from his official position. Although Pei Qin had not explicitly stated it before, she mentioned that Fang Li needed to be punished. Yet, no one disciplined him; instead, it emboldened him to become even more rampant, ultimately harming Lady Yu.

"Mother!" Pei Qian’s face turned ashen when she saw Lady Yu lying in a pool of blood, and she hurried over in shock.

Since marrying into the Fang family, aside from Fang Li and Yang Yulan, everyone had treated her well, with Lady Yu being the kindest. Although Pei Qian had always resisted the Fang family, taking no advantage or seeking their help, and harboring ill intentions just like Fang Hui’s house, deep down she knew that her mother-in-law, Lady Yu, genuinely cared for her. Lady Yu had always secretly visited them, slipping them money and food.

Seeing Lady Yu lifelessly lying in the pool of blood sent shivers down her spine.

"Quickly fetch a doctor!" Pei Qin rushed over faster, quickly checking Lady Yu’s pulse and listening for her heartbeat, which had already weakened to the point of being almost undetectable. Her expression grew stern, and she ordered Lu Hai, "Take my token and summon the Imperial Physician!"

Lu Hai glanced at Lady Yu, guessing that by the time the Imperial Physician arrived, it would be too late.

"Why aren’t you going yet!" Pei Qin commanded.

Lu Hai had no choice but to obey, quickly returning to fetch Pei Qin’s calling card to invite the Imperial Physician from Capital Jingcheng.

"Where is everyone in the house? Where have all the people gone? Go find a doctor now!" Pei Qian yelled in anger.

Fang Li and Yang Yulan quickly hid in their room when they saw them coming. Pei Qin had actually left the house, and upon seeing Lady Yu in that state, they feared that if she lost her temper, she would beat them to death!

Lady Ruan ran over in panic, clutching the little boy and accompanied by a doctor, "Hurry... hurry... the doctor is here!"

"Come over here quickly and have a look!" Pei Qin let go of the spot on the ground.

The doctor, seeing the critical situation and out of breath from running, hurried over to Lady Yu. But after feeling her pulse, his expression changed, and he shook his head, "It’s too late..."

"If you can’t save her, I’ll make you her funeral companion!" Pei Qin’s glare was sharp as she angrily rebuked the doctor.

Her outburst was intimidating, her already commanding presence amplified by her battlefield experiences, carrying an aura of deadly and murderous energy. The doctor, with just one glance at her, felt a chill down his spine, "I’ll save her! I’ll save her!" and quickly began to administer aid to Lady Yu.

The weather was warm and everyone had switched to lighter clothes, making it easy to see the knife wound on Lady Yu’s shoulder and neck. The heaviest blow was to the back of the head, caused by impact with a sharp object, which was why she had bled so much.

"The fatal injury is at the back of the head..." the doctor muttered, glancing at Pei Qin and not daring to say any more about the hopelessness of the condition, he worked to stop the bleeding and save Lady Yu.

The family doctor also rushed over and quickly took over upon seeing Lady Yu’s state, hurriedly instructing, "Madam, please wait outside!" He also had Pei Qin order someone to prepare some emergency medicines.

After giving instructions for the medicines to be prepared, Pei Qin stood by without moving.

The doctor urged her to leave, but seeing that she did not budge, he said no more and focused all his efforts on saving Lady Yu.

Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang had returned by then, and Fang Fang, Yan Kangyuan, and Grandma Yan also rushed over together.

Fang Liuming and Fang Fu had gone to visit Master Ouyang and had not yet returned, but Fang Liuyang had come back earlier. Upon seeing that his mother was close to death, he grabbed a knife and aimed to kill Fang Li and Yang Yulan, "You killed my mother! I’ll kill you!"

"Er Lang... Er Lang, put the knife down!" Grandma Fang, in shock, rushed over to stop him.

"Get out of my way! It’s them who killed my mother! I must kill them to avenge her!" Fang Liuyang, with bloodshot eyes, was full of hatred and boundless resentment.

Even Old Scholar Fang couldn’t hold him back.

Pei Qin stepped forward, "Fang Liuyang, stop it!" and pulled at him to stop.

Fang Liuyang clutched the knife tightly. When Pei Qin tried to pull him away, he swung the knife furiously. He was determined to kill that treacherous couple today!

Pei Qin nearly fell from the force of his swing, but she located his pressure point and commanded, "Throw him in the room! Don’t let him out until he has calmed down!"

"Let me go! Let me go! I want to kill them! Kill that treacherous couple and revenge my mother! They killed my mother!" Fang Liuyang, driven by a fury of immense hatred, screamed as veins bulged on his forehead.

Liu Feng grabbed him and took him to the room, also sealing his mute point.

Grandma Fang, in tears, asked what had happened, "How could a well and healthy person come to this!"

Lady Ruan also cried out in fear, "The elder brother and sister-in-law started quarreling again... Maternal Aunt Yang was also causing trouble with the sister-in-law. I couldn’t separate them..."

Grandma Fang, filled with anger and hatred, pounced forth, wanting to beat Fang Li to death and strangle Yang Yulan.

The household was in chaos, and the commotion had reached the neighbors. People gathered outside the door to watch.

Old Scholar Fang held Grandma Fang back, "We need to save the eldest daughter-in-law first!"
