"Get out of the way, don't you see? If something really happens to the old madam, that Ye family girl won't escape either! I will pursue her criminal responsibility according to the law."
Li Jieying said sternly, perfectly portraying her image as a respected mother-in-law in the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyu stiffened, but his body blocked the door, refusing to move.
"Drag him away!" Lu Enming ordered the butler.
"Second Young Master, I apologize, but I have to offend you." The butler, obeying the order, called two bodyguards to pull Lu Chenyu away.
Lu Enhua raised his hand and stopped them. "Get out of the way."
Lu Chenyu was overjoyed. His father was also on his side. As long as his father believed in the goddess, his grandmother could hold on until tomorrow to take her medicine.
Lu Enming frowned. Li Jieying, seeing this, said, unafraid of causing trouble, "What, Enhua, are you going to stop us too?"
Lu Enhua naturally believed in Yu He, but in this situation, just saying he believed was useless.
"Get out of the way, can't you hear me?" he said to Lu Chenyu.
"Dad?!" Lu Chenyu was confused.
Lu Enhua pulled him aside with a stern face. Just as Lu Chenyu was about to resist, he heard his father whisper, "Go and invite Xiao He over."
Lu Chenyu froze, realizing his father's intention.
If he were dragged away by bodyguards, he would definitely be monitored. But with his father's intervention, he wouldn't be confined.
He nodded and slipped out unnoticed.
Doctor Zhu entered the room and examined the old madam Lu. He shook his head.
"It's too late. The effusion has been compressing the blood vessels for too long. Many cells in her legs have died. We can only perform surgery for amputation, but the old madam is too old, and the surgical risk is very high. It is recommended to invite the nameless divine doctor back to see if she has any other options."
These words were undoubtedly a death sentence for the old madam Lu. Lu Enming's face immediately darkened.
"Yuan Yuan is not in Beishi, and even if she were, she might not be willing to treat Mom again. But I will try my best to persuade her to come over."
Li Jieying sighed, then pointedly accused Lu Enhua and his wife with a venomous expression, "Are you satisfied now?"
Lu Enhua remained silent. Lan Manshu's lips moved, but she couldn't find any words to refute.
"Let's solve the problem first before assigning blame," Lu Enming said with a dark expression.
He had always strictly abided by family rules and fairness. Even if his own son had made a mistake today, he would still say the same thing.
Upon hearing this, a hint of insidious calculation flashed in Li Jieying's eyes. If she could pin the blame for the old madam's death on them, the second branch would never be able to recover, and the Lu family would belong to the main branch from then on.
The Lu family's medical conditions were limited. Doctor Zhu contacted medical staff from the hospital to prepare to transport the old madam to the hospital for observation and treatment.
When the medical staff arrived, as they were about to leave the room, Lu Enhua saw that Lu Chenyu had not yet returned and stopped them. "Wait a moment."
"Wait for what?" Lu Enming asked.
"Xiao He will be here soon," Lu Enhua said.
"Mom has been harmed this badly by her, and you still believe her? Do you have to wait until Mom breathes her last breath before you accept reality?" Li Jieying questioned aggressively.
"I will use all my shares in the Lu family as collateral and give Xiao He another chance. If it doesn't work, our second branch will willingly leave the Lu family with nothing," Lu Enhua said solemnly.
Lan Manshu was shocked and tugged at his hem.
She liked Yu He, but to make such a significant guarantee for her was too much.
Li Jieying had been waiting for this moment and felt a thrill, but she still maintained her persona on the surface.
"You are gambling with Mom's life!" she said.
Lu Enming was also surprised. His younger brother had always been steady in his actions. What kind of person could make Lu Enhua gamble with his own mother's life?
At the same time, he also knew that his mother's condition was very dangerous. Doctor Zhu had a high reputation in the medical field, and his diagnosis was usually accurate.
Taking his mother to the hospital now was just waiting for Miss Qi Yuan Yuan to agree to treat her, or to find a divine doctor even more capable than the nameless divine doctor.
After weighing the options, Lu Enming spoke:
"Half an hour. If she's not here by then, send her to the hospital and invite Miss Qi."
With his consent, Doctor Zhu and the other medical staff also breathed a sigh of relief.
In the old madam Lu's current condition, whether she underwent surgery or not, the outcome would be the same. She had not long to live and was destined to be incurable.
Transporting her to the hospital now was merely doing thankless work, and any mistake could offend the Lu family, jeopardizing their livelihoods.
This was originally a mess created by Yu He, so it would be best for her to clean it up.
Li Jieying was filled with anticipation, looking forward to Yu He's arrival so that she could cure the old madam to death, the second branch would be expelled with nothing, and the entire Lu family would belong to the main branch. It was a perfect plan with three benefits.
A group of people, each with their own agenda, waited for Yu He.
Seeing Yu He's appearance, Doctor Zhu had already lost hope.
This?
Was she even an adult yet?
It would be more practical to request the help of the eldest daughter of the Qi family.
Yu He looked indifferent. Led by Lu Chenyu, she entered the old madam's room.
She examined the old madam Lu's swollen legs, then placed her slender fingers on the old madam's wrist, her brow furrowing slightly.
The symptoms indicated a different effect than she had anticipated.
"How could this be?" she asked Chunhua.
At this question, all the medical staff felt despair.
They had waited in vain. They didn't even know how the old madam's condition had gotten this way, so how could they expect her to save her? In the end, they would still have to deal with the aftermath.
"How dare you ask? If you hadn't incited the old madam to stop taking her medication, would there be this consequence?!" Li Jieying said.
She desperately wanted to pin this crime on Yu He.
"Shut up, I wasn't asking you," Yu He said, glancing at her disdainfully.
Medical staff: !!
Oh well, if she couldn't treat illness, she had quite a lot of nerve!
Seeing this, Lan Manshu couldn't help but give Yu He thirty-six likes.
In the Lu family, she had to abide by the family rules and respect her elders, so she didn't dare to easily contradict Li Jieying, lest she be caught out.
But Yu He wasn't a member of the Lu family and didn't have to follow this rule.
"You..."
"Sister-in-law, can you please be quiet and not disturb Xiao He's diagnosis?"
As soon as Li Jieying opened her mouth, Lu Enhua interrupted her.
Li Jieying, as the matriarch of the Lu family, had never suffered such humiliation and wished she could teach Yu He a lesson immediately. But with profit in mind, she held back.
"You speak," Yu He said, looking at Chunhua.
"The old madam stopped all medication as you requested, and this is what happened," Chunhua explained the situation.
"Are you sure all the medication was stopped?" Yu He asked.
"Certain. The medication the old madam has been taking recently was all prescribed by the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and all of it has been stopped," Chunhua said affirmatively.
Yu He nodded, then said to Lu Enming, "You can start investigating who poisoned the old madam."
