The court doctor came quickly. He was also very frightened when he saw this scene. He first felt Su Zelin's pulse and found that Su Zelin was just bleeding too much and was not in danger of death. But the wound on his face was really horrible. How many snake bites would it take to have small holes?

Madam Su asked quickly, "House doctor, how is Lin'er?"

The palace doctor replied respectfully, "Madam, the eldest son is not in danger of death. He just lost too much blood and will recover after resting for a while. However, the wounds on his face and body may leave marks."

Su Yuanwang's heart sank at this moment. Even if Su Zelin could pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, the scars on his face would disfigure him and he would not be able to become an official.

If he were to find out who harmed Su Zelin, he would tear that person into pieces.

Madam Su also knew the seriousness of the matter. She forced herself to ask, "Why hasn't Lin'er woken up yet?"

The court doctor frowned and said in a serious tone, "The eldest master was given a very strong drug. He can only be forced to wake up by pricking his acupuncture points with silver needles."

Madam Su was full of heartache: "Then treat Lin'er's wound first and then let him wake up!"

After receiving the order, the court doctor began to treat Su Zelin's wounds. At this time, Su Zelin's face was mottled with wounds and lifeless, which was in sharp contrast to his usual gentle and jade-like image.

After a while, the wound was treated and the doctor used a silver needle to prick Su Zelin's acupuncture points. Su Zelin groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

"Father? Grandma? I...it hurts...what's wrong with me?" Su Zelin said weakly.

Su Zelin had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked down and saw that he was half naked. He could even see small round wounds on his body.

For some reason, he thought that the wound seemed to be caused by a snake bite. He couldn't help but feel numb: "Was the wound on my body bitten by a snake?"

Madam Su quickly comforted him, "Lin'er, don't be afraid, you are fine. You just got tricked by a bad guy."

Su Zelin's eyes widened with anger: "Grandma, it must be that bitch Su Yue who harmed me!"

Su Yuanwang shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. She is your elder sister. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence."

Su Zelin gritted his teeth and said, "Besides her, who else has such a deep hatred for me?"

He had someone release a snake to scare Su Yue, so Su Yue must be trying to harm him in the same way he had been treated. That's right, it must be Su Yue.

At this time, Zhou Ruoxue, who was sitting on the chaise longue, also woke up slowly. When she heard that Su Zelin had woken up, she immediately rushed to Su Zelin's bed and cried, "My son has suffered. Master must make a decision for Lin'er. It must have been Yue'er who did it. Otherwise, how could Yue'er's maid be on Lin'er's bed?"

Su Zelin was stunned: "Who... who is on my bed?"

"Okay, stop arguing." Madam Su took a deep breath, pointed at Taohong and said, "Lin'er, do you recognize this maid?"

Su Zelin looked in the direction that Old Madam Su pointed and saw a woman covered with a quilt on the ground. The woman's face was covered with wounds, and she looked very scary at first glance.

"Grandma, I don't recognize her."

Nanny Lin then reminded, "Young Master, she is Taohong from Qingyou Courtyard."

Su Zelin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "You mean she slept in my bed? Grandma, father, mother, you must believe me.

I didn't do anything to Tao Hong. I was reviewing my lessons last night when suddenly a puff of powder blew towards me and I lost consciousness."

Su Zelin spoke a little too quickly and pulled the wound on his face, causing him to gasp in pain.

Su Zelin had a bad feeling in his heart. He reached out to touch his face and felt a bumpy texture.

He was so frightened that his hands trembled and his face turned even paler. Was he disfigured?! Wouldn't his future be ruined as well?

"House doctor, will the wound on my face leave scars?" Su Zelin asked with difficulty.

The court doctor looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My Lord, this wound is quite deep. I'm afraid it will leave a scar."

After listening to this, Su Zelin's eyes became dull and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Zhou Ruoxue originally wanted to stop Su Zelin, but Su Zelin was one step faster than her and had already touched that horrible face.

Seeing Su Zelin's dazed look, Zhou Ruoxue's tears flowed down. At this moment, her heart felt like it was being cut by a thousand knives. Her son was actually ruined like this by that bitch Su Yue. She really hated him.

"What can I do? My son's future is ruined! Master, you must avenge Lin'er!"

Madam Su looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and felt very upset: "Stop crying! It has already happened, and the most urgent thing is to find the real culprit!"

Su Yuanwang also tried to hold back the pain and said, "Don't worry, Lin'er. Your father won't let you suffer this in vain. Court doctor, wake up that slave girl. I want to see what's going on."

Upon receiving the order, the court doctor rushed to wake Taohong up, but when he did, he found that Taohong was already dead.

"Master, Tao Hong is dead, her body is stiff."

Everyone was shocked, and Madam Su's face became even gloomier: "What should we do? There is no evidence!"

Su Zelin came back to his senses and was anxious and angry: "Father, it must be Su Yue who did it. She is trying to silence the witness!"

Su Yuanwang frowned: "Why do you always insist that it was Yue'er who did it?" He always felt that Su Zelin was hiding something from him.

Su Zelin's eyes dimmed. How could he dare to say that he was the one who sent Taohong to harm Su Yue with the snake, but was discovered by Su Yue and retaliated in the same way.

So he could only stiffen his neck and say, "Father, I had some conflicts with Su Yue before, and she must have been holding a grudge, so she did such a cruel thing.

Su Yuanwang stared at Su Zelin sharply and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is the matter? If you don't explain it clearly, it will be difficult to conclude the matter."

Su Zelin hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhou Ruoxue hurriedly said, "Master, no matter what the grudge is, Lin'er is injured like this now, and this slut is from Yue'er's courtyard, can't it be said that it is her fault?"

Madam Su shouted angrily, "Enough, stop arguing! Lin'er, if you don't tell us the truth, it will be difficult to investigate this matter further!"

At this time, Nanny Yang walked into the house. She was frightened when she saw the scene inside, but she still pretended to be calm.

"This old servant pays his respects to the old lady, the master, and the lady."

Zhou Ruoxue saw that Nanny Yang's anger could no longer be contained and was coming out. She couldn't hit Su Yue, but she could certainly deal with a servant.

Zhou Ruoxue suddenly stood up and walked quickly to Nanny Yang, raising her hand to slap her.

Nanny Yang was not Zhou Ruoxue's servant, so she would not accept a beating obediently. She took a big step back, which not only made Zhou Ruoxue's blow miss but also made her almost fall.

Nanny Yang complained in her heart: I hid for your own good. If I got beaten, I don’t know how the young lady would punish you!
