Scolded in Turn by Three Daughters-in-Law

"Mother, the maid just reported that the princess is suddenly feeling unwell, so I called a doctor to check on her," Grace Wan replied calmly.

Of course, she was bringing people to catch them in the act!

As long as everyone saw Jason Zhuo caught in a scandal with Bella Wan, he'd be stuck as the Wan Family's prize son-in-law!

And the princess would become her daughter-in-law!

"No need," said Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu. "I'll go take a look myself."

Grace Wan's eyes flashed—no way she was letting that happen!

Today's events concerned her son's future.

It was extremely important!

How could it all be ruined by one sentence from the dowager?

Not a chance! She'd sooner flip the whole house upside down than let that happen!

Grace Wan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Mother, the princess is noble and delicate. If anything happens to her, we can't bear the responsibility!"

"I said no, and that's final!" Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu said sternly. "All of you, leave! I'll go check myself. Where is the princess?"

"Mother, how can you block the doctor from seeing the princess?" Grace Wan's voice turned sharp and sassy. "Sorry, but as your daughter-in-law, I can't just stand by and watch you mess this up!"

With that, she ordered the people beside her, "Come with me, quickly!"

Ignoring the dowager's objections, she strode forward without hesitation.

Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu's face darkened as she shouted, "Stop right there!"

Suddenly, in a flash, the dowager blocked Grace Wan's path and demanded, "What now? Are you rebelling? You won't even listen to me anymore?"

"This is filial piety," Grace Wan said earnestly. "If anything happens to the princess, wouldn't it be your responsibility, Mother? I can't let you take that risk!"

"That's right, Mother! The maid said the princess suddenly has a high fever, is delirious, and her whole body is convulsing. Please let the doctor see her!" Aunt Leah chimed in.

"No one is allowed!" the dowager snapped. "Anyone who tries today will be charged with trespassing at the Prime Minister's Residence and punished without mercy!"

The doctor and his apprentice, brought by Lady Blue Moon, were so frightened they stammered, "Lady Blue Moon, w-we can't afford to take that blame. We'll leave right away!"

Grace Wan took a deep breath. The dowager was acting way too strange!

Did she know something?

Even if she did know something, Grace Wan was determined—her plan was unstoppable!

Grace Wan suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Then, she abruptly pulled out the sharp hairpin from her hair and aimed it at her own neck.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

"Oh no, Lady Blue Moon, don't do anything rash!"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

"Mother, if you don't let the doctor treat the princess today, I'll die right here in front of you!" Grace Wan declared resolutely.

"Mother, what's gotten into you?" Aunt Leah was anxious. "The princess's health is already fragile—she almost died last time on Mount Wei! Why are you stopping the doctor?"

"Exactly!" Mrs. Yuan added. "Mother, if you have a reason, just say it! Look, Lady Blue Moon is so desperate she's about to kill herself!"

A reason...

How could she admit in front of everyone that she drugged the princess?

The dowager took a deep breath, feeling absolutely furious.

In all her years, she'd never been scolded by three daughters-in-law in a row!

She narrowed her eyes at Grace Wan and asked, "Are you really going to go?"

"Please let us go, Mother!" Grace Wan pressed the hairpin even closer to her neck.

"Fine! If you insist, then go!" The dowager sounded almost exasperated.

Since Grace had already discovered the secret of the wine flask and was with the princess, there shouldn't be any major trouble.
