Chapter 1166: Chapter 1162: Visit the Wang Family Personally
If Su Yingxue had died giving birth to that little monster, he didn’t know how he’d face the child in the days to come.
A physician who cannot heal himself.
Su Yingxue, such a genius doctor, still had no remedy when it came to giving birth.
He couldn’t bear to risk her safety even a little bit more.
Su Yingxue’s heart warmed; he was actually worried about her, afraid that she’d hurt herself again.
She looked up and kissed Chu Yihan, “Then, if we meet a child who has lost their parents in the future, let’s adopt one to accompany the little monster as he grows up, so he won’t be lonely with only Shan Bao by his side.”
Chu Yihan pinched her nose, “You!”
How could the royal family adopt children at will?
But if she wished it, it wasn’t entirely out of the question.
As the two of them were cozying up, footsteps came from outside the door.
Su Yingxue hurriedly stood up, lowered her veil, and stood neatly beside Chu Yihan, pretending to serve him.
Wang Jingzhi knelt down tremulously, “To report to the emperor, something has gone wrong with the Wang Family. Wang Yun’s brother Wang Ao has reported that Wang Yun is ill and bedridden, unable to lead the way to the grave. Moreover, he has sent a withdrawal statement signed by Wang Yun, claiming that the Wang Family wishes to drop the case and pursue it no further.”
Chu Yihan took the withdrawal statement handed to him, read it, and then slammed it down on the table, “Is Yangzhou Prefecture a place for them to toy with? To sue when they wish, and retract the case on a whim before a verdict is reached?”
Chu Yihan’s questioning left Wang Jingzhi trembling all over.
He knelt down again with a thump, “I deserve to die! I will send someone to the Wang Family immediately, to make it clear that the case must be investigated thoroughly!”
A case that Chu Yihan personally investigates could be withdrawn just like that?
As Wang Jingzhi stood to leave, Su Yingxue’s voice softened, “Lord Wang, please wait a moment.”
She whispered into Chu Yihan’s ear, “Wang Yun doesn’t seem like someone who would give in easily. This illness might be somewhat suspicious.”
She gave Chu Yihan a meaningful look, and he sought her eyes, asking if she wanted to make a visit to the Wang Family.
Su Yingxue nodded.
Chu Yihan stood up and walked out with her, “To the Wang Family.”
Wang Jingzhi’s eyes widened, “The…The emperor is going to the Wang Family in person?”
This was a big deal!
He hurriedly followed after Chu Yihan, who instructed him to bring a doctor along to treat Wang Yun.
Wang Jingzhi hastily went to make arrangements.
When the imperial visit arrived at the Wang Family, the entire family knelt neatly at the entrance, with Wang Ao almost injuring his forehead in his excitement.
At first, upon seeing Chu Yihan, he was so nervous that he stumbled over his words, but once he saw that Chu Yihan was not deliberately making things difficult for him, he dared to speak, “The emperor’s august presence brings honor to the Wang Family! It’s just my sister… she is in poor health! She’s so ill that she can’t get out of bed to meet you, Your Majesty, please forgive her.”
Chu Yihan looked at him coolly, “She was just fine when I saw her yesterday; now you say she is too ill to rise from bed?”
Wang Ao shivered under Chu Yihan’s icy gaze, “It…it was a sudden illness! Girls of her age are the most delicate! Last night she suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, her face turned blue, and she fainted in her room. She hasn’t woken up today!”
“Oh? Is it that serious?” Su Yingxue expressed surprise, if she had not guessed that Wang Ao was spouting nonsense, she would have shown him what a sudden severe illness with vomiting and diarrhea, turning blue, really looked like!
