Chapter 996 - 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.
