"Grandpa, Grandpa, you have to help Mengdie, Mengdie can't go on like this forever."
"Of course not." Patriarch Xi frowned. "Your marriage with Young Master Jin will affect the relationship between our two families. You shouldn't see Young Master Jin in this state for the time being."
Then, he raised his head to look at the people in the hall, "All of you listen to me, no one is allowed to breathe a word about what happened today. If anyone outside Xi Manor speaks of this, everyone will be punished."
Everyone was silent, looking at each other. Some were afraid, some were unwilling, but no one dared to say a word.
Xi Nuoying did not stand out in the crowd. This was because she had a face that was easy to forget. In addition, she kept her head down, so she did not attract anyone's attention. Thus, no one saw the slyness and coldness that flashed through her eyes.
Xi Family Head ordered for the Xi Family's personal doctor.
What the doctor treated was naturally some common external injuries, such as applying ointment or bandaging and dressing of wounds.
When he saw Xi Meng Die, who was as black as a piece of coal, he jumped in fright. Then, he hurriedly examined Xi Meng Die in detail. In the end, he helplessly shook his head.
"Forgive me for being unable to help, but this is the first time I've seen such a strange illness. Master, please find someone else."
Xi Family Head, Second Master Xi, and Second Madam Xi's expression turned serious when they heard this. Xi Mengdie's face fell, "How can this be? I've been living like before, why would my face become like this? I don't want to …"
Her hands trembled, she wanted to touch her face but didn't want to. She cried in despair.
Second Madam Xi hugged her shoulders, "My poor daughter …"
"Stop crying, what's the use of crying? The most important thing right now is to find a way to fix this." Xi Family Head's face tightened, "Second Master Xi, go to He Manor and tell him about Mengdie's condition. You must get the pill. For the sake of Mengdie's face, the Xi Family will do everything in our power to help Doctor He complete his mission."
With this promise from the Xi Family Head, Second Madam Xi felt much more relieved.
"Wait." Second Madam Xi stopped her husband in his tracks. She turned around and said, "Master, unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best not to spread this news." She was afraid that Jin Yijue would hear something, so it was best to be careful.
"My guess is that Die'er was poisoned, or else Mengdie's face wouldn't have changed so much in one night. Since the poison was in Xi Manor, then the culprit must still be in Xi Manor … As long as we find the culprit, we might be able to find the antidote."
Xi Mengdie snapped out of her daze, "Yes, Mother is right. Master, please help Die'er seek justice and return Die'er to her original appearance."
Xi Family Head thought about it for a moment. He understood what Second Madam Xi was worried about. She was afraid that Jin Yijue would dislike Schilling's Shadow.
"Alright, then we'll start with the investigation in the manor." His body emitted a powerful aura of suppression.
"Who among you is the culprit behind Mengdie's condition? Come out now, or else I'm sure you know what the consequences will be."
