Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Bring Disaster Upon Oneself

The police acted swiftly. After completing the interrogation, they immediately dispatched personnel to Qin Lijuan’s original workplace in the south to investigate and gather evidence.

Old Master Qin had finally learned the full story. He couldn’t believe his adopted daughter would do such a thing.

But the facts were before his eyes; she had confessed. The matter was now settled.

He knew the two patriarchs of the Ye Family and had heard from the police that the Ye Family vowed to pursue the matter to the end, refusing any reconciliation.

What he found most unbelievable was that his adopted daughter, in a fit of spite, had framed someone. She had not only caused a patient’s death but also that of a colleague. Now, with her involvement in the child-swapping incident exposed during the investigation, not even a Daluo Deity could save her.

When Wu Shengjun arrived, he found Old Master Qin sitting blankly in the living room. ”Dad,” Wu Shengjun began, ”what do we do? Lijuan’s situation seems very serious.”

Old Master Qin sighed deeply. ”One reaps what one sows. If she truly committed a crime, no one can save her.”

Wu Shengjun said anxiously, ”Dad, you can’t just ignore her, or she’s finished.”

”How can we save her if she has committed a crime?”

For a moment, both were silent; the living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xueyan had been taken to the hospital. However, no matter what medicine they administered, the itching wouldn’t stop.

Zhang Xueyan, unable to bear the itching, writhed like a worm. ”Mom, it itches so much! I can’t take it anymore! Please, let me go! I’m really going to die!”

Her mother, Luo Yifen, couldn’t attend to her at that moment, as her other, younger daughter was also hospitalized.

Earlier, she had asked her eldest son to look after Zhang Xueyan while she returned home, only to find a horrifying scene.

She had almost fainted from distress at the sight. If only I hadn’t forgotten to turn off the stove, this wouldn’t have happened, she thought, her heart twisting in agony.

The situation had even alarmed Luo Yihai, who asked, ”Doctor, what exactly is causing my niece’s itching? How long will this last?”

The doctor was also perplexed. ”Her condition is quite rare. No matter what medicine we try, nothing seems to work. This is the first time we’ve encountered such a case.”

Seeing his sister, Luo Yifen, arrive with swollen eyes to look after her two daughters, Luo Yihai said with concern, ”Yifen, I’ve already called your sister-in-law and our second sister to come and help you.”

Upon hearing her second elder brother’s words, Luo Yifen finally broke down and cried out, ”I don’t know what’s happening! Everything has been going so wrong recently. Did I offend some deity?”

Luo Yihai quickly covered his sister’s mouth. ”What kind of place is this for such talk? Are you trying to make things even worse for our family?”

Luo Yifen then realized what she had blurted out. ”Brother, I was confused. I won’t speak such nonsense again.”

Then, thinking of her daughter’s condition, she choked up. ”Brother, what are we going to do about Xueyan?”

Hearing this, Luo Yihai also fell into deep thought.

Just then, Zhang Xueyan’s shout came from the hospital room: ”It must be that bitch Chuyunyi who did this to me! I really can’t take it anymore!”

Initially, Luo Yihai thought his niece was just being hysterical. However, when he recalled her mentioning that Chuyunyi was a doctor with inherited medical skills, a suspicion began to form. Still, his niece had been back in Beijing for several days. If Chuyunyi had indeed harmed her, the symptoms would likely have appeared much earlier. It seemed improbable. But now, with the doctors completely stumped and her condition showing no signs of improvement, what on earth could they do?
