Ye Qingyi directly rushed to the bedside, grabbed Ye Hongling's clothes and wept. Concubine Yun was stunned. She didn't know what was going on. Even the doctor was stunned and stopped working.

Watching Ye Qingyi sobbing beside the bed, Hua Yue did not know how to react as well. Ye Qingyi lowered her head and sneered in her heart. Then she raised her head and shouted at the doctor, "What are you doing! What's the matter with my sister! "

"Oh!" Hearing Ye Qingyi's question, the doctor soon recovered his consciousness. He had heard that the two misses did not like each other. But how did it seem now that the Eldest Miss was so caring about her sister?

"Well, I'm afraid...the Second Miss has a plague. This disease may be contagious. Please be careful." Ye Qingyi noticed that the doctor was wearing a white towel on his mouth as a mask, as did Concubine Yun and other servants. Obviously, they were all afraid of the plague.

"Careful? You’d better be careful now. You must cure my sister, or else I'll make you regret." Ye Qingyi glared at the doctor, making his heart hitched. The Eldest Miss's vicious eyes frightened him.

"Yes, yes I will try my best to save Second Miss." The doctor reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He thought that he was old indeed - so old that he broke out in a cold sweat due to a little girl.

Concubine Yun was sitting some distance from Ye Hongling's bed. Ye Qingyi sneered. Hum...She was selfish indeed. They seemed to be so close before, but now she was trying to stay away from her.

Ye Qingyi got up and went to Concubine Yun. She saluted and raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Concubine Yun, how come my sister suffer from the plague? She seldom goes out, why does she..." While talking, she shed a few crystal tears again. Seeing this, Concubine Yun kept brooding about this matter.

Concubine Yun was also wondering how come Second Miss got sick. Seeing Ye Qingyi approaching, she suddenly realized that she stood too close to Ye Hongling just now, so her hand dodged without trace.

"I don't know. She suddenly... " While speaking, Concubine Yun also desperately squeezed out a few tears, as if she felt very distressed.

Seeing Concubine Yun's acting, Ye Qingyi couldn't help sneering.

"Concubine Yun, don't be too sad. My sister will be fine. The doctor is here. Please go back to have a rest first. I’ll wait here, and I'll send Hua Yue to inform you if we got any situation here."

"Ok, thank you. Please excuse me for leaving to deal with some affairs of the mansion." Concubine Yun took the opportunity to leave. Ye Qingyi despised people like Concubine Yun. They pretended to be distressed and caring, but in fact they were eager to keep away from any trouble. Ye Qingyi could see through her mind at a glance. Concubine Yun was subtle, but her acting was really bad.

Ye Qingyi watched the doctor make a diagnosis for Ye Hongling. The doctor felt her pulse and became a little anxious. Judging from the pulse of Second Miss, she didn’t seem to be diseased. But why was she unconscious? The doctor couldn't think of the reason, so he was getting more anxious and had more cold sweat bursting.

Ye Qingyi looked at them ironically. She knew that the doctor couldn't find out what was wrong with Ye Hongling. This was not a plague or any other disease, but her special poison. The poisoned would get better naturally after a period of time. However, as the symptoms of this poison were similar to that of plague, misdiagnosis came as no surprise.

"Doctor, you must treat my sister well." The voice of Ye Qingyi contained a trace of ruthlessness. Hearing that, the doctor was startled. Just now she...

"What? Don't you understand? "

"I understand! Of course I do." The doctor was shocked, and naturally understood the meaning of Ye Qingyi's words. It seemed that the most powerful role in the general's mansion should be the Eldest Miss.

"Listen to me. According to the symptoms of the Second Miss, I have preliminarily confirmed that she is suffering from plague. Her yard must be isolated in case of infection."

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said?" Seeing that the servants did not respond, Ye Qingyi raised her voice and spoke.

"Yes, miss, at your command." In an instant, all the servants in the room knelt down and replied quickly.

"From now on, I will stay here and take care of the Second Miss. Clean up the next room for me. Hua Yue, you follow them to see how they are doing. When dad comes back, go and tell him that we can't visit him in recent days for fear of infecting him with the disease."

"Yes, miss. I'll do it now. You guys, go and clean up! "

"Yes!"

Suddenly all the people in the room scattered away, leaving only the doctor and Ye Qingyi there. Although the doctor kept his back to Ye Qingyi, he could still feel her gaze. The doctor's cold sweat had wet his clothes.

"I heard that you were recruited into the mansion by Concubine Yun before?" Ye Qingyi poured herself a cup of tea, tasted it carefully and asked casually. Her words made the doctor’s heart miss a beat.

"Yes. Noticing that I had some talent, she invited me in." The doctor was inexplicably afraid of this girl who was apparently far younger than him.

"So...Concubine Yun has promised you a lot of money?"

"No, no. I only take as much money as my competence allows. I dare not take any undue gain.”

"Oh? Then, how much money does it take to buy medicine that would weaken people from you?"

Hearing Ye Qingyi's words, the doctor froze! She... How could she know? But he........

Seeing the doctor's expression, Ye Qingyi confirmed her guess. The medicine that Concubine Yun sent every day was indeed unreliable. Fortunately, she knew this kind of medicine even though it was hard to be recognized by common doctors. This doctor did have some genuine talents. By this token, Concubine Yun had indeed spent a lot to deal with her.

"I don't understand what you're talking about..." The doctor was surprised, but he still pretended to be calm. After all, he's very careful with his drugs - all of which were hard to buy on the market - and wouldn't be caught.

"Oh? Really? In that case, please see if you can cure my sister first."
