Granny Sun was left stunned. It was unclear if she was frightened or lost in thought.

After a moment of being in a daze, she pushed her young grandson aside, propped up her thin and hunched body, and yelled at Su Yingxue, “You’re pushing us poor folks into a corner. We might not be able to fight back, but we still believe in justice! The heavens will intervene, my son, mother is here!”

With determination, she rushed towards a large medicine vat nearby.

“Bang!”

Fortunately, Lai San was quick to react. He rushed in front of Granny Sun and knocked her away, preventing her head from exploding on the medicine vat.

There were more than ten medicinal vats filled with medicinal herbs in the backyard. Granny Sun used all her strength to knock against them, and no matter how hard she tried, her head was still bleeding.

While she didn’t lose her life in the collision, she lay on the ground, with a few wounds on her face.

“Manager Qi, restrain her, don’t let her move!” Su Yingxue immediately gave the order.

Then, she approached Lai San, helping him to his feet and checking his pulse. “Are you okay?”

Lai San, with his sallow and emaciated face, appeared somewhat uncomfortable. He withdrew his hand, saying, “Miss, don’t let me dirty you. I’m fine.”

“What do you mean by dirty? You are from my clinic. I’ll attend to your injuries first.”

Su Yingxue knew that Lai San must have sustained bruises from his collision with Granny Sun.

She fetched a bottle of medicine from the counter and handed it to Lai San.

“Rest well for the next few days. Thanks for what you did.”

“Miss… Miss, you’re too kind!” Lai San was moved to the point of tears.

Ever since Su Yingxue saved him from the deadly plague a while ago, he had made up his mind to become a better person. With Manager Qi’s compassionate acceptance, he had been studying and living better at the clinic.

Now, with Su Yingxue treating him so kindly, he felt a strong desire to repay her kindness.

After applying the medicine, he quietly followed Su Yingxue to the backyard.

Meanwhile, on Granny Sun’s side, Manager Qi had already arranged for someone to apply the medicine. Her old, yellowed eyes remained fixed on Su Yingxue, still filled with enmity.

Beside her, the child continued to tug at her sleeve and cry, uttering incomprehensible words.

Su Yingxue gazed at Granny Sun, deep in thought.

The person who had instigated Granny Sun had thought things through thoroughly.

Without examining her son’s body, she wouldn’t be able to determine the cause of his death.

Granny Sun was a strong-willed farmer. If pushed too far, she might even have the courage to harm herself.

Su Yingxue realized that if Granny Sun were to die here today, regardless of how she handled Granny Sun’s remains, it could become a source of leverage against her.

This was indeed a challenging situation!

“Miss Su, Your Highness sent me with a message. You may proceed with the autopsy.” Mo Qi descended from the sky and conveyed Chu Yihan’s order.

Su Yingxue was puzzled. “An autopsy? Did Your Highness order the grave to be exhumed?”

She realized it was a mistake to reveal this to Chu Yihan so easily. While she was confident he would help, if he dug up the grave and word got out, it could harm his reputation and be exploited by others as ammunition in the court.

Mo Qi let out a light snort, his expression somewhat proud. “Naturally, Your Highness conducted it openly.”

“Openly?” Su Yingxue’s lips twitched.

Digging up someone else’s grave and calling it open?

Truly a divine act by Your Highness!

Mo Qi, noticing the peculiar look in her eyes, decided to tell her after indulging in his moment of self-satisfaction..
