The doctor shook his head, sighed, and said, "First we need to know what kind of venomous snake bit him. Now that we haven't seen the snake, I dare not prescribe medicine casually. Besides, the venom of this venomous snake takes effect so quickly, I'm afraid it's not a common venomous snake. Even if I see the snake, I'm afraid I can't save it."

Upon hearing this, the wife of Duke Cheng'en could not help but frown, and immediately asked someone to look around to see where the poisonous snake had run away and find it so that the doctor could see what kind of snake it was. Besides, if such a poisonous snake was not found, there would be unrest in the mansion in the future.

Soon, a servant found a dead grass snake on the roadside. No one knew if someone had touched the snake, attacked it, and then smashed it to death. So they picked it up and showed it to the doctor.

The doctor took a look and shook his head, saying, "I've never seen this snake in Beijing. It doesn't look like a local snake. I don't know how it got here, but judging by the shape of its head, it's a venomous snake. It should be the one that bit Miss Fifth."

When the maidservant on the side saw the snake, she was stunned, but at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief, because she realized that this snake was the one they had put in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Since it came back, it meant that everything was fine at the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

But at the same time, I felt it was a little unbelievable, thinking that in this day and age, there are really snakes that can find their way back.

Then he thought, it seems that the snake the young lady held is really poisonous. This... the young lady is too poisonous. She actually used a poisonous snake to scare the Third Miss Shen. She probably wanted to kill her. This is too much...

Now, the snake has come back to find the young lady and poisoned her to death. This... seems like retribution.

The maid knew that she shouldn't think like this, after all, the Fifth Miss was her master, but the matter was so strange that she couldn't help but think so.

Lady Cheng'en saw that Miss Fifth was about to die. She seemed to want to say something, but she opened her mouth but couldn't speak. She looked quite pitiful, so she asked the doctor, "Is there no way to save her?"

"We can only see if the palace physician can save him," said the doctor.

But he felt it was dangerous because the snake venom took effect very quickly and he was afraid that the imperial physician would not be able to save him in time. Even if he did make it in time, he didn't know if there was an antidote for this type of snake.

Lady Cheng'en, feeling that the fifth young lady looked pitiful, sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

About half an hour later, the imperial physician arrived and after examining the Fifth Miss's condition, he recognized the poisonous snake, but said that there was no cure for this type of venom and the patient would generally be fatal.

Then he asked the wife of Duke Cheng'en: "This snake is only found in the south, how come it appeared in the capital?"

Madam Cheng En glanced at Miss Five's maid and said calmly, "I'm not too sure about this either."

Because no one had the antidote, the fifth young lady died soon after.

Before she died, she kept opening her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she couldn't.

In fact, Miss Wu had only one thought: How could the snake she sent to Jing'an Marquis's Mansion run back and lose its anesthesia? Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable. After all, her anesthesia was produced by the system, and the drug effect was said to last until tomorrow morning when Shen Linlang played the piano. How could it lose its effect now, and then fell on her face and bit her?
It was a pity that her mouth was paralyzed and she couldn't speak, otherwise she would have to tell the wife of Duke Cheng'en that this matter might be related to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion.

After all, she was not like the maid who thought that the snake could come back on its own. She felt that most likely someone in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion had discovered what she had done, and then somehow de-anesthetized the snake, and then secretly sent someone to throw it on her bed. After all, it was said that Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was home to military generals, so it was normal for them to have good fighters, and then it bit her.

In fact, there is an antidote in her system, but she doesn't have enough points to buy it, so she can only wait to die. If she had known that the people in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion were so powerful and that they could know such a secret plan she had arranged, she would not have done it and would have lived a rich life.

Although it is not as rich and prosperous as marrying Prince Anjiang, the Empress Dowager's family background is also very good.

It was her greed that led to this incident, and she deserved it.

But at the moment, it must be said that the Fifth Miss's guess was almost right. It was indeed someone from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion who discovered what she had done and then dealt with her. However, this person was not the master from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion as she had thought, but Linlang.

Seeing that the fifth young lady was dead, Linlang went back, after all, she had achieved her goal.

The news that the fifth daughter of Duke Cheng'en was bitten to death by a poisonous snake spread throughout the capital.

Because she was from the Empress Dowager's family and the Duke's Mansion, many people discussed her even though she was born out of wedlock.

Every family was surprised that a poisonous snake could have entered a place like Duke Cheng'en's Mansion and bit a rich lady to death.

There are so many people around a rich lady. Why did he bite her instead of others?
No one believed it and conspiracy theories arose.

They were speculating in conspiracy theories, but the man who worked at the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion heard about this and discovered that there was no news of the third young lady being frightened by a snake in his mansion. He went to the stone table afterwards and found that there was no snake inside. On the contrary, the fifth young lady of the Duke's Mansion who released the snake was bitten to death. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He had the same thought as the maid in Cheng'en Mansion, wondering how the snake could be poisonous and could kill people. After finding the maid in Cheng'en Mansion and the maid admitting that the snake that killed the fifth young lady was the one he had released before, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if the snake woke up when he took it, wouldn't it bite him and kill him?

Also, as to how the snake got to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, he thought the same as the Fifth Miss, but he did not think like the maid, that the snake went back on its own.

How could it be possible that the snake would go back by itself? Someone must have discovered their little trick, sent the snake back, and killed the culprit.

The Jing'an Marquis' Mansion was founded by military generals. Like the fifth young lady, he also felt that there were experts in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion who could definitely do these things.

When he thought about what he had done, and that he had been discovered by the people in the mansion, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He thought that the master of the mansion had already sent someone to kill the fifth lady, would he kill him too? Thinking of this, how could he not break out in a cold sweat? So he lived in fear every day, fearing that he would be punished by the mansion one day.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough money to redeem himself, so he could not redeem himself and leave the mansion. Otherwise, he would have run away long ago. After all, living in fear in the mansion was too painful.

Seeing that this man lived in fear every day, Linlang couldn't help but feel satisfied, thinking that this man had been scared enough, and that was enough.

As for the maid in the Cheng'en Mansion, there is no need to worry, because she has been called in by the Cheng'en Lady for questioning because of her strange behavior. Once the Cheng'en Lady knows what she did to please the Fifth Miss, she will probably not end well. That's all. (End of this chapter)
