Chapter 4857: Vicious Woman

That day, the drops of sticky fluid had only just sprayed onto Young Master Fang's leg and hadn't yet spread.

What she said at the time was correct: immediately amputating the leg would effectively prevent the corpse poison from spreading elsewhere.

Logically speaking, Young Master Fang should not have experienced this mutated state.

Unless he had taken some unknown medicine within these two days?

Qiao Mu gazed calmly at Miss Fang, her piercing stare like a fiery light fiercely burning deep within Miss Fang's heart.

Rage caused Miss Fang to nearly lose her sanity. She suddenly let out a shrill scream, "Stop making excuses!"

"Don't deny it, you simply made a mistake in judgment!" Miss Fang yelled sharply, "Because of you, my brother lost a leg and still couldn't save his life!"

"If that's the case, why did you cut off his leg in the first place?! What good did it do? It only made him suffer another bout of pain and hardship at such a young age!"

"You vicious woman, what do you gain from this? Why do you want to harm us siblings like this—ah." Miss Fang's shouting was cut short when a guard suddenly stepped forward and seized her arms.

Miss Fang struggled and roared endlessly, "What are you doing?! This woman dares to do such vicious things, and you won't even let people speak about it?"

"Vicious woman, vicious woman, you vicious woman, ah!"

Second Young Master Qin swept his sleeve, and a heavy slap landed on Miss Fang's face.

A great force struck, and Miss Fang felt a metallic taste in her mouth. Her face was also skewed by the impact.

Second Young Master's face was extremely grim, his eyes full of impatience. "What are you waiting for? Drag both of them away. If they don't want to stay here, just throw them all into the sea."

First Young Master Qin said faintly, "Deal with the little corpse puppet as soon as possible. Everyone else, return to your tents. There's nothing more, get some good rest."

The Qin Estate guards immediately pulled on the ropes, dragging the agitated little corpse puppet.

They also seized Miss Fang, who was flailing wildly, twisting her arms behind her back, and were about to escort them away.

"Wait." Qiao Mu said faintly, stopping the Qin Estate guards.

Her beautiful apricot eyes gazed deeply at Miss Fang. "Let me ask you, have you given your brother any medicine in the past two days?"

Miss Fang's eyes were bloodshot and she seemed to be in a frenzy. Hearing the question, she blurted out without thinking, "Among our traveling companions, there's someone who knows a little about medicine. My brother was given nutritional soup, and other things were just some hemostatic and scar-removing medicine. Do you want to wrongly accuse others?"

"I don't want to wrongly accuse anyone," Qiao Mu said calmly, "but I won't unjustly take the blame for someone else's fault either."

If this matter wasn't clarified today, was she supposed to bear this burden indefinitely?

Although Miss Fang's way of thinking was quite peculiar.

She had merely kindly suggested that Young Master Fang cut off his leg to save his life, and now that he had turned into a corpse, it had become her fault.

"Go get the medicine dregs; I want to see them."

"I'll go get them, I'll go get them." For the past two days, Sister Yang had been enthusiastically helping to boil and prepare medicine, taking care of the Fang siblings.

Soon, Sister Yang brought the medicine dregs and presented them to Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu carefully inspected them, then looked up at Miss Fang. "This medicine is fine."

Sister Yang and a companion simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. If the medicine had been found problematic, wouldn't both of them have suffered misfortune?
