Everyone present ignored the old woman's pretentiousness.
Shen Tianshu comforted the young couple and said, "Your wife has only been taking the rebirth medicine for a short period of time, and she hasn't taken much. There should still be hope that the baby will not have any problems."
After hearing what she said, the young couple did not dare to believe it. They turned to look at Master Fu Kong, hoping to get a positive answer from him.
"Amitabha!" Master Fu Kong clasped his hands and said, "Mrs. Tong has superb medical skills, and the most rare thing is that she also has a benevolent heart.
"Although the Jiang family had an unfortunate incident a few years ago, Lady Tong happens to be the direct disciple of Princess Gaoyang.
“Since she said there was hope of keeping it, she must be trustworthy.
"To be able to meet Mrs. Tong's free clinic today is because Bodhisattva appreciates your usual piety and bestows the fate of your life as a couple."
After hearing this, the couple almost hugged each other and cried.
The old woman who was sitting on the ground and being ignored also climbed up on her own with a shy face, clasping her hands together and bowing to Master Fu Kong.
Master Fukong glanced at her, thought for a while, and finally said nothing. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and it was not easy for him as an outsider to interfere too much.
After sending Master Fu Kong away, the old woman came up to Shen Tianshu and said with a flattering smile: "Ms. Tong, since you said there is still a way to cure it, please give me a prescription as soon as possible, so I can save it." Only my eldest grandson can do it!"
After a while, she started calling her grandson and grandson again.
"It's getting late now. Please hurry up and give us a prescription. We'll go get the medicine so we won't waste your time here."
Shen Tianshu said: "I can prescribe prescriptions of course, but you don't need to get the medicine. Then you still have your son!"
"As for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home for the time being."
After hearing this, the old woman asked in surprise: "Ms. Tong, what do you mean by this? Why can't I go home?"
Before she finished speaking, two guards came up behind her and held her up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"What are you doing? In broad daylight, at the foot of Tian'en Temple, is there no royal law?"
Li Zian said coldly: "If you don't explain clearly about the reincarnation drug, let alone go home, there's no telling whether your life can be saved!"
"If you want to talk about the king's law with me, then I'm not afraid to tell you that Master Fukong just missed one thing. After this case came out, the emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation.
“Back then, people who made and sold rebirth medicine were arrested and chopped, and thousands of people were displaced throughout the Qi Dynasty.
"Your son and wife may not know, but if you still have a memory, even if you don't know about the reincarnation medicine, you should know that many medical clinics and drug stores were sealed, and countless doctors, medicine boys and others were exiled. To the bitter cold and barbaric land west of Juzhou."
Hearing Li Zian talk about this instantly awakened the old woman's memory.
She gave birth to a son soon after her marriage, so she never had to worry about continuing the family lineage, and she had never been exposed to things like reincarnation drugs.
But back then, people everywhere were in panic, and the incident of arresting people and sealing off the shop was still fresh in her mind.
At that time, she was getting medicine for her husband in the drug store. She had already paid for it. When she was waiting for the medicine boy to pick up the medicine, several officials suddenly rushed in. They stepped forward and pushed the doctor and the medicine boy to the ground, and drove them away without explanation. The guests put a big seal on the door.
She had no idea what was going on at the time. She wanted to rush forward to get the money she paid back, but the officer almost cut off her ankle with a knife. To this day, she still has the hideous scar on her ankle.
At that time, a kind person nearby told her that these people had committed serious crimes, and if they went any further, they might even lose their lives.
Although she felt sorry for the dozens of copper coins, her life still mattered. She randomly pulled a piece of cloth from her clothes and tightly tied the wound on her ankle, then limped home.
The money was lost, the medicine was not recovered, and her foot was injured and she could not work in the fields for many days. For this, she was scolded by her mother-in-law for more than half a month. How could she not remember it?
It turns out that when the drug store was closed down and the doctor and the drug boy were arrested, it was all because of the reincarnation drug!
The old woman finally started to be afraid at this time. She had endured it for most of her life, and now she finally served her parents-in-law and her husband to death, and became the head of the family.
He has lived a fairy life where his son provides money and his wife takes care of him. All he has to do is wait for his grandson to be in his arms and his life will be complete.
If she were thrown into prison or exiled to a barbaric land at this time, how would she survive with her old bones!
Maybe they saw that the old woman was about to cry and beg for mercy again, so the two guards carried her out like a chicken without waiting for her to say anything.
After all, the young couple are still filial people, although they were angry with her before for doing such a ridiculous thing and almost harming their unborn child.
But when he saw her being taken away by the palace guards, his son couldn't help but asked with concern: "Master, my mother is uneducated and just a country woman. She must have been deceived as well. Please take care of me." We ourselves are victims, and we have no intention of harming others, please spare my mother this time!"
"Don't worry, we are temporarily detaining her just to investigate the origin of the reincarnation drug. As long as she does not sell the drug to anyone else, she will be released after she has fully explained everything."
The man relaxed slightly after hearing this, then turned to look at Shen Tianshu and asked: "Ms. Tong, how is Zhuo Jing's condition? It's okay if the child cannot be saved. I'm only worried about whether it will affect her health."
He listened carefully to what Master Fukong said before, and was so frightened by the words that one kills two lives. He was afraid that the child would not be born, but his wife's life would be lost.
And instead of worrying about whether the child will be born with strange shapes, it is better to end it early, and when the wife recovers, the two of them can have another healthy baby.
But when the young daughter-in-law heard this, she covered her stomach in horror, pushed him away and asked, "What do you mean? You don't want our little baby anymore?"
"Ruyi, listen to me..."
"I won't listen! Stay away from me! This is the child I worked so hard to conceive! I won't allow anyone to hurt him!"
Seeing this, Shen Tianshu stepped forward to persuade him: "Don't worry too much. Take the medicine for a few days and see how it goes. If there is really something wrong with the child, even if you insist on giving birth to it, you may not be able to do so.
"But if the child can survive this test, it means that he has a close relationship with you, and there is no need to make a decision so early."
After hearing this, the young couple's expressions softened slightly.
The man decided directly: "Thank you, Mrs. Tong. I will go back to pack my luggage and prepare money. I will follow you back to Wuchang Mansion tomorrow. I will not bother you until Zhuo Jing and the child are safe."
