Chapter 146 It's True Love (Bonus Chapter for Voting)
Watching Aunt Xu leave dejectedly, she didn't even take the ginseng she had been longing for.

System: ...Host, are you sure you didn't get the villain's role?
"I'll take this one. Redeem it."

Qin Su tapped her fingertip lightly, and 2 points were gone.

The system saw clearly what she had chosen and instinctively stopped her: [Host, please don't...]

Qin Su: "It wasn't me who used it."

system:? ? ?
Soon, the system knew who wanted to use it.

That evening, Aunt Xu suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and was on the verge of death several times.

The side courtyard was brightly lit and in complete chaos.

Qin Su was so "devastated" that she almost fainted from crying.

The incident escalated so much that it quickly alerted Qin Rusong, who had already gone to bed. He got up, dressed, and rushed over.

In the past, even if Aunt Xu and her daughter were really dead, he might not have come.

Now that she's here, it's safe to say that "Qin Sangsang's" identity is truly different.

The system roughly understands the host's thoughts:
The reason I stayed in the Prime Minister's residence before was because it was the fastest and most convenient place to get close to the tyrant. Even the tragic background of "Qin Sangsang" could be used as a bargaining chip.

But now, the Prime Minister's residence seems to have little meaning for the host.

Although Qin Su never said it, according to the system's observations:

Its host is actually quite arrogant. If the female supporting character hadn't deliberately provoked her, she wouldn't have taken her seriously at all, let alone actively competed with her.

Oh, sometimes it's still in her eyes, like—when she needs someone to help her.

However, the system was still a little curious: "If the host wants to leave the manor, wouldn't it be more effective to use it on oneself?"

Qin Su remained expressionless: "Too disgusting, I don't want to do it myself."

System: 【…Perfect!】

Moreover, if she falls, who will fight for her?

Relying on Aunt Xu, that pushover who's tough at home?
That means the plan is basically ruined.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly get sick? Did you eat something wrong?"

Qin Rusong remembered that he was going to play the role of a "kind father" this time, so he spoke with concern as soon as he stepped into the room.

However, before he could finish speaking, the girl who had just been being comforted by the maid suddenly stood up, knelt before him, and said in a sorrowful voice:

"Father, please take all the gifts from next door! I don't want anything else, I just want my aunt to live a good life... Waaaaah..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and started crying again.

Hearing the girl's cries, Chunfeng looked at Qin Rusong with a cold glint in her eyes.

Qin Rusong was completely bewildered and hurriedly tried to help the person up: "What are you talking about? What does whether or not a reward is given have to do with your aunt?"

Qin Su refused to get up, her tearful eyes meeting those of the royal physician beside her: "Doctor, please speak..."

The previous physician had been dismissed for being "useless," and this new one was not yet in contact with the various departments. Having also received specific instructions upon arrival, he knew who he was truly responsible for caring for. He didn't try to hide anything, though his expression was somewhat complicated.
"Reporting to Master, Madam has been poisoned."

"What?" Qin Rusong was first shocked, then furious.

Sangsang was handpicked by His Highness the Crown Prince. If something really happens to Consort Xu, it will be seen as a sign that he failed to manage his household properly.

Qin Rusong had already begun to think about how to cover this up.

Unfortunately, Qin Su didn't give him that chance, and said tearfully, "Only my fourth sister came today. Not long after she left, my aunt had an attack."

Qin Rusong instinctively retorted, "Impossible! Rou'er would never do such a thing."

Seeing the man's unwavering defense, Qin Su recalled the original novel, where "Qin Sangsang" was falsely accused of harming Aunt Qiu, and he refused to listen to her explanation and tried to force her to confess.

She denied it, so he threatened to "beat her until she admitted it." A look of hurt flashed across the girl's pale, delicate face: "Does Father think his daughter is lying?"

Qin Rusong frowned: "I don't mean to blame you, but why would Rou'er want to harm Aunt Xu for no reason? She..."

"The Fourth Miss also gave other gifts. If you don't believe me, sir, why don't you have the doctor examine them as well?"

Chunfeng couldn't bear to see Miss Sangsang kneeling on the ground any longer, so she interrupted rather roughly.

How could you be so insensitive? Didn't you see Miss Sangsang kneeling the whole time? You didn't even tell her to get up first.

Even His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't let her kneel, how dare you!

Qin Rusong was still unwilling, and was about to refuse, saying it was impossible, when he heard the girl on the ground seem to chuckle softly, and then she raised her head:
"If Father cannot make a decision, perhaps we should report it to the authorities."

One sentence nearly made him explode in anger: "Nonsense! Why are you reporting family matters to the authorities!"

But his anger was tinged with a hint of guilt; he wondered if Rou'er was truly out of her mind...

"coming!"

Just as Qin Rusong was about to soften his voice and coax Qin Su to put things aside for the time being, he heard Chunfeng's excited voice.

He looked up and saw a guard carrying several bolts of satin as he walked in. Wait... a guard?
He belatedly realized something and tried to stop them, but it was too late: "Doctor, take a look, what's wrong with these fabrics?"

Although he asked that question, Chunfeng actually felt deep down that there couldn't possibly be a problem with something like fabric.
It was just a way to deliberately annoy this Prime Minister.

How can someone who can't even handle household affairs be expected to handle important matters of state?

However, she soon realized she had been careless—

"This cloth..."

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then picked up another piece of cloth and sniffed it, his expression growing increasingly grave.

Seeing his reaction, Chunfeng's heart sank, and she instinctively gripped the dagger at her waist.

Qin Rusong's expression also turned somewhat grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Doctor Zhang, is there something wrong with this fabric? Please speak freely."

Doctor Zhang then put down the cloth in his hand and said in a heavy tone, "This cloth has also been poisoned."

"What?" Qin Rusong's face had turned ashen. "What medicine?"

Dr. Zhang didn't speak, but subconsciously looked at Qin Su. The bright and fresh color was clearly something a young woman would wear, so it was obvious who it was aimed at.

Chunfeng understood what the doctor meant and urged, "Dr. Zhang, please tell me quickly, what kind of medicine is this?"

Qin Rusong found the maidservant extremely noisy and decided to find a reason to transfer her away tomorrow.

Those who stay by Sangsang's side and accompany her to the palace in the future should ideally be servants from her household...

"It's a sterilization drug. If women are exposed to it for a long time, I'm afraid... it will affect their ability to have children."

"How could this be?"

Qin Su was "deeply shocked," and her slender body swayed slightly, almost collapsing.

Although the spring breeze helped him to his feet, a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back.
It was her oversight. If Miss Sangsang had truly fallen into her trap, she would be guilty even if she died a thousand deaths.

Qin Sangsang is the only woman in all these years whom both the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince are willing to associate with. If nothing unexpected happens, His Highness's future eldest son will definitely be born to her.

Of all the things the Qin family could do, they had to resort to this kind of medicine... Anyone who plots to harm the imperial heir shall be exiled along with their entire family!

Looking at Qin Rusong again, Chunfeng seemed to be looking at a dead man.

Qin Rusong's face was extremely pale, but he had no choice but to plead with Qin Su: "Sangsang..."

Qin Su seemed to see through his predicament and gave a wry smile: "If it is really difficult to investigate, please allow my mother and me to leave the manor for a while."

Qin Rusong opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to say "nonsense".

Qin Su saw this and her eyes flickered slightly:
I never realized he truly loved Aunt Qiu and her daughter...
