Zuo An replied respectfully, "Yes."
Leng Xue watched him hang up the phone and asked, "Are you going to deal with the Song family?"
Leng Xunze nodded. "The Song family needs to pay for what they did to Yan Yan before."
He had delayed taking action because of his past feelings for Song Na. However, after Song Na and the Song family became increasingly excessive, he could no longer tolerate it.
Leng Xue's voice was cold. "Do you know the consequences of dealing with the Song family?"
"The Song family is too arrogant. Purging them will also serve as a warning to other influential families."
Hearing this, Leng Xue realized instantly that Leng Xunze had genuinely fallen for Wen Yan, the fallen heiress.
Wen Yan, overhearing their conversation, looked at Leng Xunze. "Leng Xunze, will dealing with the Song family affect you and Leng Corporation?"
Leng Xunze shook his head. "No, bringing down the Song family will essentially reshuffle the influential families in the capital."
Wen Yan's heart settled upon hearing this.
Just then, Leng Xunze's phone rang again.
He saw the caller ID and answered, "What is it?"
Zuo An said, "Mr. Leng, the Song family matter has been handled. Also, I've found out that the box is with the Feng family."
Leng Xunze instructed, "Good, come back. I'll handle the rest."
He hung up the phone and looked at Wen Yan. "Wife, I need to go to the Feng family. Wait for me, I'll pick you up after I'm done."
Wen Yan nodded. "Okay."
Leng Xunze smiled at her and turned to leave the room.
Leng Xue watched Leng Xunze's retreating back and asked Wen Yan beside her, "Why didn't you leave with him just now?"
Wen Yan replied with a faint smile, "I don't understand much about business matters. Besides, I came to ask Mrs. Leng if Mr. Ou had inquired about your illness. Why isn't he here taking care of you!"
Ou Ziqing not being at home to care for Mrs. Leng surprised her.
Mrs. Leng replied indifferently, "He said he had something to attend to at home, so I let him go back."
Wen Yan pondered. Based on her previous visit, Ou Ziqing's affection for Mrs. Leng suggested he would be by her side constantly. It felt strange that he had something urgent at home precisely when Mrs. Leng was ill.
"Did Mr. Ou ask you to take the recovery medicine before?" Wen Yan continued to ask.
Mrs. Leng nodded. "But I've already managed to stall him, just as you advised."
Leng Bairui had said she was going out with friends in the morning and should be back soon.
Wen Yan asked, "Did Mr. Ou insist you take it, or did he exhibit any strange behavior?"
Mrs. Leng thought for a moment. "No." She didn't want to suspect Ou Ziqing and felt he wouldn't harm her.
Wen Yan didn't press further and asked with concern, "Mrs. Leng, do you feel any better now?"
Mrs. Leng shook her head. "It's still the same as before." Although she wasn't taking the medicine Ou Ziqing suggested, Bairui bought her health supplements and blood-nourishing tonics daily.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan observed Leng Xue's complexion, which had indeed become paler than the past two days. She couldn't understand what was happening. Logically, her complexion should have improved if she wasn't taking the medicine; why was it worse now?
As Wen Yan was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.
She saw it was a message from Leng Xunze: "Wife, I've sent the family doctor over. Please take care of her for now."
She replied: "Okay, husband. Do you think Mrs. Leng's complexion is getting worse?"
Leng Xunze quickly replied: "I've noticed it too, which is why I sent the family doctor."
Wen Yan felt the situation was more complex than she had imagined and texted back: "Okay." Perhaps she had been wrong, and someone else was trying to harm Mrs. Leng.
Just then, Leng Bairui's concerned voice was heard from outside the door. "Mom, how are you feeling? Any improvement?"
Wen Yan looked towards the door and saw Leng Bairui entering with a bag.
Leng Xue, aware of her physical condition, spoke with a hint of fatigue. "It's still the same. Don't go buy medicine anymore next time." While tonics for qi and blood weren't harmful, she felt worse after taking them.
Leng Bairui frowned upon hearing this. Didn't her father say this medicine would help her mother recover faster? Why wasn't it working?
Wen Yan glanced at the bag in Leng Bairui's hand. Was it filled with qi and blood tonics? With this thought, she looked at Leng Bairui. "Miss Leng, may I see the qi and blood tonic medicine you bought?"
"Why should I show you!" Leng Bairui snorted.
Leng Xue chided, "Bairui, show Miss Wen the medicine in your hand."
Leng Bairui, hearing her mother siding with Wen Yan, felt displeased. "Mom, what could be wrong with this medicine? She's just looking for trouble."
Leng Xue's expression darkened. "Are you not even listening to me anymore?"
Leng Bairui, who disliked Leng Xue's stern look the most, rolled her eyes at Wen Yan and threw the bag of tonics at her. "Here, take a look. I hope you don't find any problems, or I won't let you off!" She couldn't possibly harm her own mother!
Wen Yan took the bag from Leng Bairui and examined the pure black medicine packets inside. There were no labels indicating the ingredients or even instructions. Had she been overthinking?
Seeing Wen Yan's silence, Leng Bairui asked impatiently, "What have you found?"
Wen Yan stared at her. "Miss Leng, where did you buy this medicine? Can you take me there?"
"What do you want? What business is it of yours where I bought the medicine? Mom, you see, she's just looking for trouble," Leng Bairui said angrily, glaring at Wen Yan.
Just as Wen Yan was about to explain, a man's voice called from downstairs, "Is Mrs. Leng in?"
Leng Xue looked at Leng Bairui. "Bairui, go see who it is."
Leng Bairui acknowledged, glanced at Wen Yan again, and turned to go downstairs.
After Leng Bairui left, Leng Xue said, "Miss Wen, do you think this medicine is problematic?"
Wen Yan replied uncertainly, "It's hard to say. Leng Xunze just told me he's sent the family doctor over. We can ask the doctor later."
As she finished speaking, Leng Bairui called out loudly, "Mom, it's Brother who called the family doctor for you. He's here to examine your body."
Leng Xue said, "Let the doctor come in."
With that, Leng Bairui entered with a male doctor. The doctor looked at Leng Xue respectfully. "Mrs. Leng, allow me to take your pulse first."
Leng Xue hummed in agreement. "Okay."
Wen Yan watched from the side, planning to ask the doctor about the medicine after he examined Leng Xue.
The male doctor took Leng Xue's pulse, his brow furrowed. He then looked at Leng Xue's complexion and remained silent.
Leng Xue asked, "How is my health?"
Leng Bairui also asked with concern, "Doctor, how is my mother's health?"
The doctor stood up and said, "Mrs. Leng had toxins in her body before, and the toxins have increased. She needs immediate treatment. If it's delayed further, her life could be in danger!"
"How could this happen?" Leng Bairui exclaimed in disbelief.
The doctor stood up and looked at Leng Xue. "Mrs. Leng, have you taken any medication recently?"
Before Leng Xue could reply, Wen Yan walked up to the doctor and handed him the black medicine packet. "Excuse me, could you please check if this is a qi and blood tonic?"
