My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 455: Awesome, my son! 2

The butler, upon hearing this, sighed with relief. "Miss Ye, please forgive us," he said, then led his men into the room.

But within moments, the butler stormed out, holding a wrapped bag, clearly livid.

"Miss Ye, you have gone too far, harming Old Madam Bai in such a manner! This is a serious matter. You must come with us!"

"What have I done to harm Old Madam Bai?" Ye Siyuan feigned ignorance.

"How dare you deny it!"

The butler opened the package, revealing two cursed dolls and a packet of medicinal herbs.

"Miss Ye, the evidence is undeniable. Please come with us!"

Ye Siyuan was terrified and hid behind Mo Yinhe, frantically defending herself. "Brother, I didn’t do it! They’re framing me; I’ve never seen these things before!"

Mo Yinhe placed a hand on Ye Siyuan’s shoulder, standing tall and dignified, with an air of majestic pride. "Don’t be afraid. Your big brother is here."

Ye Siyuan then clung to Si Mingjing’s arm, her acting impeccable as she portrayed a look of bewildered distress. "Sister-in-law, I really didn’t do it."

Si Mingjing also comforted her, patting the back of her hand. "Si Yuan, don’t be scared. Your big brother and I will go with you."

With that, the three of them followed the butler to the bedroom where Old Madam Bai resided.

Inside the bedroom, the family doctor was administering an IV to Old Madam Bai. Bai Chuanfeng and his wife, Sheng Baichuan, sat in chairs nearby, while Old Master Bai sat at the head of the bed, his heart aching for his aging wife. Bai Qingshui stood by the bed, her face filled with concern.

"Doctor, how is my grandmother? Should we go to the hospital? Can she be treated with an IV at home?"

She acted like the most filial granddaughter, constantly urging the family doctor to take Old Madam Bai to the hospital. Old Master Bai, finding her filial, held his wife’s hand. "Qiuying," he said, "look how filial your granddaughter is. Let’s be good and go to the hospital, shall we?"

"I won’t go!" When ill, Old Madam Bai was a stubborn old woman. She said, "Mingjing is also a doctor. I’ll wait for Mingjing to come and see me."

Old Madam Bai had indeed developed a high fever. She had suffered a shock in the afternoon and had woken from a nap burning with fever. Knowing her condition and fearing someone might try to harm her, she insisted on waiting for Si Mingjing.

The family doctor said, "Please, try to convince the old lady further. Our medical capabilities at home are limited, and we might not be able to determine the cause of the illness. I suggest going to the hospital for a complete blood count and urinalysis..."

Old Madam Bai’s high fever was caused by severe shock. The family doctor hadn’t found any other cause, only the fever itself. Initially, it wasn’t considered severe. However, Bai Qingshui kept suggesting that Old Madam Bai had recently been taking a prescription from Si Mingjing to regulate her health. Could there be a problem with the prescription itself? she insinuated. Influenced by Bai Qingshui’s misleading statements, the family doctor also grew concerned that the medicine might be the issue.

At this point, the butler stormed in, holding a package, and proclaimed furiously, "Madam, we’ve found it."

The butler didn’t show the package to Old Madam Bai but handed it directly to Bai Chuanfeng. The butler had served Old Madam Bai for many years with utmost loyalty. He feared that these items could agitate her and worsen her condition.

"What’s this?" Bai Chuanfeng looked at the package on the table.

The butler said, "Open it, and you will see."

After Bai Chuanfeng opened it and saw the two cursed dolls, he was stunned for a moment before standing up in anger. "Where were these found?"

The butler replied, "Underneath the bed in Miss Ye’s bedroom."

Old Master Bai asked, "What is it?"

"Dad, come and see."

Old Master Bai walked over. Upon seeing it, he trembled with rage and exclaimed, "This! This! This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Old Master Bai naturally did not believe that these things could cause his wife’s high fever, but who wouldn’t feel disgusted upon seeing them? It was like a thorn abruptly piercing one’s heart, and Old Master Bai was so angry he wished he could immediately chop Ye Siyuan to pieces.

Old Madam Bai lay on the bed, her voice weak as she asked, "What’s wrong? What’s happened? What is it? Let me see."

"It’s nothing, dear." Fearing that seeing these items would worsen his wife’s condition, Old Master Bai said, "It’s just some unpleasant things. There’s no need for you to lay eyes on them."

At that moment, Si Mingjing walked in.

Seeing Si Mingjing, who had arrived late, Old Madam Bai asked, "Mingjing, you’ve come?"

"Grandma, what’s wrong with you?" Si Mingjing approached the bed. Though she initially suspected Old Madam Bai might be feigning illness, after taking her pulse, she found that Old Madam Bai was indeed suffering from a deficiency of both qi and blood. This condition was due to her spirit not being properly nourished, which had led to a fever induced by shock.

"Grandma, you were frightened, and that led to a deficiency in your qi and blood, causing this high fever. I have Tranquilizing and Focusing Pills in my medical kit that can replenish qi and blood and also calm your spirit. I’ll go get them for you."

Old Madam Bai believed Si Mingjing’s words and said weakly, "Good child, hurry, go get them."

As Si Mingjing was about to leave, Old Master Bai called out to her, "Mingjing, is your grandma really running a fever because she was shocked?"

"Yes, Grandpa." Si Mingjing knew what Old Master Bai was implying but did not deny it; instead, she subtly guided him to that conclusion. If Bai Qingshui wants to put on this show, Si Mingjing thought, then I’ll play along to the very end.

Having said this, she quickly left.

Mo Yinhe and Ye Siyuan were both sitting in the living room. As Si Mingjing passed by, she shot them a meaningful look. Mo Yinhe gave a slight nod, signaling her to go ahead and leave.

After Si Mingjing had left, the members of the Bai Family came out of the bedroom. Bai Qingshui, in particular, charged forward, marching up to Ye Siyuan, intending to slap her hard across the face.

"You malicious woman! My grandma has been so kind to you! These past few days, she was even considering whether to hand over the Bai Family to you, and yet you couldn’t wait to poison her! Are you holding a grudge because my grandma took everything from Bai Ronghua back then? Is that it?"

Today, everything is going perfectly, Bai Qingshui thought with triumph. I’ll make Ye Siyuan get out of the Mu Continent for good! She can forget about ever taking my inheritance—or my man!

But as she swung her hand forcefully, Mo Yinhe caught it in a tight grip. Mo Yinhe was strong. As he grasped Bai Qingshui’s wrist, it throbbed with a pain so intense it felt as if it were about to be crushed.

She screamed in pain, "Let go! Let go! Momma..."

Bai Chuanfeng strode over and rebuked sharply, "Mo Yinhe, this is not the place for you and your sister to act so outrageously!"

Mo Yinhe slightly loosened his grip. His tall, imposing figure shielded Ye Siyuan by his side. He raised a large hand, placed it protectively on Ye Siyuan’s shoulder, and smiled with an air of nonchalance. "She’s my only sister," he stated. "Whether it’s in the Bai Family home or even in the grand hall of the Royal Palace on the Mu Continent, I won’t let anyone touch a single hair on her head. You’d best control your daughter. Otherwise, let me be clear: I don’t hesitate to kill."
