After Cang Xu gained real power, he issued a series of policies, such as no longer keeping the country in seclusion, actively joining the United Nations, and carrying out political, economic, military, cultural, and tourism exchanges with the countries on land. Among them, tourism was the most important.
Nowadays, people on land liked to travel to the bottom of the sea to explore the mysterious undersea empire, and the residents of the sea also liked to come to the land to travel and experience life on land under the sun.
It was precisely because of this that Cang Xu's prestige had been pushed to an unprecedented height. How could Minister Xu dare to offend such a person? Before getting into the car and leaving, Minister Xu even glared fiercely at Old Master Song and Song Xuelan. Tonight, he had been implicated by these two people! It was a thankless task and he had even gotten himself into trouble!
"Old Master Song, I think you're getting muddle-headed as you age. Your medical skills can't even compare to someone who came back from exile." After saying that, Minister Xu slammed the car door.
Old Master Song stood beside the car and did not speak, but his hand that was holding the walking stick was clenched tightly. Song Xuelan walked out of the Cang manor as if she had lost her soul. Her heart was cold. She wanted to say something, but Old Master Song squeezed out two words from between his teeth. "Go home!"
After Song Xuelan got into the car, she broke down and cried. "Grandpa, did I offend all the Cang family members? Why did things turn out like this?"
Song Xuelan turned to look out of the car window. She felt that this was the last time she would appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Cang manor. She had offended Cang Liu and Old Madam Cang. When Cang Xu went downstairs, he did not even look at her. What should she do? She did not have a chance anymore. Her beautiful dream to become the crown princess consort was ruined!
"Stop crying!" Old Master Song was also vexed. "If you have the time to cry, why don't you think about what the problem is?"
It was obvious that taking that prescription would kill someone, but how could Cang Xu be fine after taking it? Old Master Song was eager to know the reason. Old Master Song had also thought about this prescription before, but he was certain that Cang Xu could not withstand it, so… What a pity! If he had been a little bolder before, he might have treated Cang Xu's illness long ago!
Old Master Song was very regretful.
Song Xuelan was not in the mood to think about the root of the problem. Her mind was buzzing, but her eyes were fierce. "It must be Long Qin! That b*tch Long Qin deliberately harmed us! Grandpa, I won't let her off!"
Old Master Song did not say anything. At this point, he could only be glad that Long Qin was also a member of the Song family and his great-granddaughter. All the glory that Long Qin had obtained belonged to the Song family.
Old Master Song and Song Xuelan returned to the Song residence.
Song Liangheng was still awake and had been waiting in the living room for news. When he saw Old Master Song and Song Xuelan walk in with ugly expressions, Song Liangheng's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Cang Xu?"
Song Xuelan snorted coldly. "Big Brother, look at your good daughter. She tricked us. If not for her, I might have married Cang Xu now!"
Song Liangheng did not care who Song Xuelan married. He asked, "What happened? How's Cang Xu?"
"Cang Xu is fine. There's nothing wrong with Long Qin's prescription." Old Master Song had already sorted out his emotions. "No matter what, Long Qin is a member of the Song family. Find a time to hold a banquet to celebrate Long Qin's return and let everyone know that she's from the Song family."
Song Xuelan was in disbelief. "Grandpa, Long Qin framed us like this, but you still want her to acknowledge her ancestors?"
"Shut up!" Old Master Song had his own plans.
He had practiced medicine for many years and had accumulated a good reputation. How could he be defeated by a junior like Long Qin? If he didn't get back at her, everyone would say that a junior had outdone him and his place in the industry would be threatened. People would keep saying his medical skills were not good, and he was getting on his age. Therefore, holding a banquet to acknowledge her was the best way to suppress Long Qin's arrogance.
Song Xuelan did not know what Old Master Song was thinking and became even angrier. After returning to her room, she slammed the door loudly. Song Xuelan did not sleep the entire night. Her tears wet her pillowcase. What made her even sadder was that she did not know if it was because she had caught a cold last night, but her nose unlocked like a floodgate and her mucus refused to stop flowing.
On the other side, the Cang manor had also quieted down. Old Madam Cang returned to her bedroom. After lying down, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"What's wrong?" Old Master Cang yawned and covered her with a blanket.
The more Old Madam Cang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. "Old man, the Song family came tonight at such a strange timing. Did they frame Long Qin on purpose?"
