Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 724 Make the First Move

Lin Mengya had no idea why she felt it was weird.

Although jealousy could make a person lose her head, the old woman from the Tian Family was merely a peasant woman. Moreover, she had never shown any malice to her adopted son and his wife.

Why did she have such a great change in temperament after her daughter-in-law got pregnant?

The Tian Family lived in poverty with no assets. Therefore, even if her daughter-in-law gave birth to the twins, there were no assets to strive for.

What on earth made the old woman do that?

Soon, Lin Mengya arrived at the entrance of the Tian Family’s house.

Tian Laosan sat at the door, smoking a long-stemmed pipe as he scratched his head with his tanned hand. This simple and guileless man was obviously disturbed by the current situation.

After all, his wife he had married for many years did this to his daughter-in-law. He, who at a loss what to do, could only sit at the door and smoke to divert himself from the gloom.

“Uncle Tian, why are you smoking here? What’s troubling you?” Lin Mengya asked while knowing the answer.

Tian Laosan looked up, only to find that the savior of his two grandchildren was here.

He immediately stood up and looked nervously at the female doctor who came from another place, at a loss what to do.

“There’s no need to be inhibited. How are the babies?” Lin Mengya asked.

In fact, they went to a town more than five kilometers away to fetch a doctor that day.

Fortunately, the doctor came in time, so he took over the babies and nursed their health.

Although they were immature infants, they were nearly born after a full-term pregnancy. In addition, their mother was strong, so the babies grew well.

Tian Laosan involuntarily sighed as he gazed at his savior.

He picked up the tobacco pipe, put it into his mouth, and took a hard drag of the bitter tobacco before saying, “Alas, my son and daughter-in-law are good. It’s my wife’s problem. She was not so vicious back then. Alas, it’s all my fault!”

Basically, the vicious old woman should be primarily responsible for this.

But Tian Laosan was so kind that he considered it was he who led his family into this situation.

Lin Mengya knew that it was useless to comfort him.

He could only straighten out his thinking by himself.

“That’s not the case. Uncle Tian, to tell you the truth, I don’t think things are that simple. I don’t mean to touch your sore spot. If it’s convenient, I hope to have a talk with your wife in person. After all, this matter is related to the lives of the two babies. No one knows who will do harm to them next time,” Lin Mengya said sincerely.

Uncle Tian hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily.

Uncle Tian’s wife, considered a sinner by all villagers, was now locked up in a log cabin, where firewood was stored.

It was not difficult to meet her.

Tian Laosan opened the door of the woodshed, and they saw his wife tied up tightly with a dull look under the dim light.

She showed despair in her eyes, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her.

She, whose clothes were wrinkled with her messy hair hanging loose, probably had been tortured.

Although she looked pitiful, Lin Mengya had toughened her heart.

“How have you been, Mrs. Tian?” Lin Mengya said.

Hearing her voice, Mrs. Tian, who was in the room, rolled her eyes slowly and finally fixed them on the slender girl, who was pushed here.

There was no vicious look in her eyes. In fact, there was even a hint of fear in her eyes when she glanced at Lin Mengya.

Perhaps, she was not a villain.

After her evil thought was gone, she became timid.

“What... what else do you want to do? I know I’m wrong. I really know! It’s all my fault. I was jealous of my daughter-in-law, so I did that to her. Please spare me. I beg you, let me go!” Mrs. Tian said emotionally.

Lin Mengya frowned slightly, but returned to normal the next moment.

She stared at Mrs. Tian coldly and said with sharp eyes, “You are indeed the one who did this, but you did not do this out of jealousy of your daughter-in-law. I’m wondering if it has something to do with your child out of wedlock.”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s guess, Mrs. Tian felt thoroughly terrified with a stunned look in her eyes, as if she had been seen through.

The reason why Lin Mengya made such a guess was that all the members of Mrs. Tian’s parents’ family were either dead or gone.

The only person Mrs. Tian, an old woman, cared about was probably her child out of wedlock.

“You... No, although I gave birth to a child, the child has been dead long before. That’s the reason why I’m jealous of my daughter-in-law. Why could she have her babies, while my child has been dead?” Mrs. Tian said with a ferocious look.

Lin Mengya became even more certain of her guess and sighed in her heart.

Maternal love could turn a person into a devil.

Lin Mengya said, “You don’t have to deny it at once. This afternoon, I heard from others that there is a legend here. If a woman can not have a child, she can get pregnant by burying another woman’s dead fetus in the yard behind her house. Burying a baby boy can bring her a son, while burying a baby girl can bring a daughter. But the baby must be born after an eight-month pregnancy or die at birth. That’s probably the reason why you used safflower to induce labor. You don’t have to deny it at once. The person, who could come up with such an evil method, is presumably a villain. As long as I send my followers to make an inquiry, they can find the person soon. In this case, aren’t you going to admit it?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tian trembled slightly and stared at Lin Mengya as if she saw a ghost.

This was a secret she had made up her mind to keep for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, a strange lady figured it out completely.

“You’re astonished that I know this, aren’t you? Actually, before I come here, I made an inquiry and learned that you were on good terms with your daughter-in-law. When she could not get pregnant, you asked your contacts to seek some secret prescriptions for getting pregnant for her. That’s the reason why your daughter-in-law followed your every direction and even allowed you to use safflower to induce labor. I think if it were not for your child, you would not have done this,” Lin Mengya said.

Her words finally triggered Mrs. Tian’s emotional breakdown.

Mrs. Tian burst into tears emotionally.

Her tearful eyes were filled with deep remorse. If it weren’t for her selfish motive, she might not have fallen into this situation.

“My poor daughter! If I don’t do this, she will be repudiated by her husband. It’s my fault for putting her in this situation. I feel sorry for her!” Mrs. Tian said.

Her tears didn’t arouse Lin Mengya’s sympathy for her.

Mrs. Tian was pitiful, but she only had herself to blame.

Although she did this for her daughter, she would hurt her daughter-in-law and grandson by doing so.

If Lin Mengya hadn’t arrived in time, the two babies and the innocent woman might have died miserably.

Although Mrs. Tian did not actually kill her daughter-in-law and grandson, it did not mean that she did not commit such a heinous crime.

After breathing out slowly, Lin Mengya whispered something in Qinghu’s ear.

The latter hesitated for a moment before nodding, but he looked at Lin Mengya with disapproval.

“I may be able to cure your daughter’s sterility, but you have to pay for what you have done to the Tian Family. I don’t mean to help you. I just hope that there can be fewer sins in the world. Tomorrow, send someone to tell your daughter to come to my yard secretly,” Lin Mengya said.

When Mrs. Tian heard her words, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She immediately nodded gratefully, for fear that Lin Mengya, who was as benevolent as the Bodhisattva, would go back on her word in the next moment.

Lin Mengya, tired of talking nonsense with Mrs. Tian, asked Qinghu to push her out.

She did not ask Qinghu to stop until they returned to the small courtyard where they stayed temporarily.

“Since when have you become a living Bodhisattva assisting your generation and saving people? Let me see if you are actually someone else,” Qinghu pinched her face, looked into her eyes in confusion and said.

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes helplessly before she reached out to knock off his hand.

Then she said, “I’m not that kind of over compassionate person. I just think that how there could be such an absurd thing. I know that there is indeed such a strange method in some regions, but this is Dajin. Only people in the Lieyun State use this method. Don’t you think there’s something behind this?”

In fact, Lin Mengya learned it from the record in the music score for green stringed instrument.

In addition to orthodox medical skills and the art of poison, there were also records of various types of witchcraft in various places in the music score for green stringed instrument.

Moreover, the records were very detailed, even including the source and the development.

Ever since she got the music score for the green stringed instrument, she had been used to leafing it through at leisure.

Learning that only people in Lieyun used this kind of witchcraft, she inevitably became suspicious. This was the central region of Dajin. Could it be that some people from the Lieyun State had infiltrated this village?

After thinking carefully, Lin Mengya found it impossible. Xiu had said that the civilians of the Lieyun State were very proud and considered being a member of the Lieyun State was a kind of glory granted by heaven.

Therefore, they were unlikely to change their nationality or settle down abroad.

In this case, the only possibility was that this method of getting pregnant might have something to do with something else.

Although Lin Mengya did not want to interfere in others’ business, she knew that her saving the daughter-in-law of the Tian Family might be equivalent to going against those people.

Even if she wanted to get out of this, those people probably would not allow her.

In this case, she would rather make the first move!

“Alas, what can I say?” Qinghu said.

He could only tap her forehead, thinking this lass was simply a troublemaker.
