While Li Zi'an and Chen Jingke were interrogating Xue Shanya at the inn, news about Mrs. Chen's tragic death due to excessive grief had quietly spread in Sanli City.
For a time, people were panicked, some were sad, some were afraid, and naturally some felt that their goals had finally been achieved.
Aunt Dong stood in the woods outside Shou'an Courtyard, looking at Mrs. Chen's residence in the courtyard from a distance, and she felt mixed feelings in her heart.
She has been with Mrs. Chen for decades, and she never thought that a master-servant relationship would end like this.
Aunt Dong saw Yingqiu and Cailan walking in and out of Shou'an Courtyard with red and swollen eyes, and she thought something must have happened to Mrs. Chen.
She didn't dare to confirm it in person, so she turned around and went straight to the place she had made an appointment with.
This is a remote back mountain with almost no buildings. It is very remote and rarely visited by people on weekdays.
Aunt Dong waited anxiously for a long time, and finally found the person she was expecting.
The person who came was a young lady, somewhat delicate, wearing very ordinary and simple clothes, with her hair in a woman's bun.
She walked up to Aunt Dong and asked, "Are you sure that Mrs. Chen drank the bowl of medicine?"
"Sure!" Although Aunt Dong didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew how much Mrs. Chen trusted Mrs. Tong.
Madam Chen would not have any doubts about the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Tong and the medicine prepared by Cai Lan.
"Are you sure the person is gone?" The young lady was in Sanli City, so she naturally heard some rumors, but she still asked Aunt Dong to confirm again.
Aunt Dong didn't care and immediately nodded to confirm.
The young lady obviously didn't have any doubts. She took out a bottle of medicine from her arms and handed it to Aunt Dong and said, "Here, it's what you want."
Aunt Dong excitedly dodged the medicine bottle and asked, "Can you turn a female fetus into a male fetus if you take this?"
Hearing this, the young lady smiled and said: "I said it was useless, but you should know better about the two people who took medicine to have children this year, right?
"Originally, the doctors said they were daughters when they checked their pulses. After taking my medicine, they all gave birth to sons. You saw this with your own eyes. There is nothing to worry about."
Aunt Dong nodded repeatedly when she heard this: "Yes, yes, I saw it all with my own eyes, I will definitely give birth to a boy!"
She held the porcelain bottle in her hand tightly, almost crushing it.
This is the reincarnation medicine she got in exchange for betraying her mother. How could it not work? It would definitely make her daughter-in-law give birth to a son!
After the two people handed over, the young lady was about to leave. Unexpectedly, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the surrounding bushes and surrounded the two.
The young lady's first reaction was that she was being plotted against. She turned to look at Aunt Dong and said angrily: "I wholeheartedly planned for you, and you actually betrayed me?"
Aunt Dong was even more panicked than she was at this time. Her face was pale, but she was still holding the porcelain bottle tightly in her hand.
Seeing that Aunt Dong didn't seem to have betrayed her, the young lady immediately screamed in her heart, fearing that she had fallen into the Chen family's trap.
She immediately used her tongue to pick out a pill hidden in her teeth, and was about to bite through the sealing wax layer on the outside. Unexpectedly, she felt a pain in her jaw, and she instantly lost control.
She opened her mouth wide, not to mention biting the pill, her saliva began to flow out uncontrollably, and she took the pill with her.
Chen Jingke felt a sense of admiration in his heart when he watched Shen Tianshu pick up the pills that fell on the ground with a handkerchief.
No one noticed this just now, but Shen Tianshu observed the little lady licking her teeth with her tongue.
So she stepped forward and without saying a word, she raised her hand and removed the other person's chin.
Chen Jingke discovered for the first time that Shen Tianshu had such ability.
Shen Tianshu looks beautiful and fragile. Chen Jingke originally thought that her medical skills and intelligence were her greatest strengths and charms, but he did not expect that she would have such a neat side.
The more he got to know her, the more Chen Jingke realized that Shen Tianshu matched everything he imagined for his future wife.
He admired such a woman from the bottom of his heart, but it was a pity that he met her too late, otherwise...
Chen Jingke was lost in thought when he suddenly felt two eyes with murderous intent and quickly stopped his reverie.
He put his fist to his lips, cleared his throat, pointed at the young lady and asked, "Which of you knows her? Is she also from our Sanli City?"
A man in his thirties ran up from behind the crowd and slapped the little lady in the face.
"Who are you? Why do you do such a thing?
"It's over now, our whole family will be killed by you——"
The man said, squatting on the ground, covering his face and crying loudly.
Someone next to me helped explain: "Master, this man is Chen Shurong, a member of the branch, and he is your equal in terms of seniority.
"His father was ill and the family conditions were not good. He was almost thirty and had not yet married a wife. Later, a matchmaker introduced him to the Wen family.
"At that time, the matchmaker said that this Wen family was also a hard-luck person. She was married once, but due to difficulty in giving birth to a child, the child was stillborn, so she was divorced by her husband's family.
"There was nothing to be picky about Chen Shurong's conditions, so he agreed and the two got married soon.
"It's just that Mrs. Wen has been married for almost three years now and has never been pregnant with a child.
"Everyone said behind her back that she might have been injured during childbirth, and she might not be able to give birth in the future.
"Chen Shurong is also very distressed, and the two of them often quarrel over this.
“But if he divorces his wife and remarries, he can’t guarantee whether he can still find a wife.
"So the two of us just made do with it!"
Chen Jing didn't expect that someone had started to put their hands into Sanli City three years ago.
It seems that people in the city must strictly control any marriages in the future.
Chen Jingke nodded to show that he understood, and said: "Come here, please take these two people down first and try them later."
Immediately, someone came up to take Aunt Dong and Mrs. Wen away.
However, Shen Tianshu reached out to stop Mother Dong and said, "Hand over the medicine bottle."
Aunt Dong subconsciously held on tighter.
She paid so much just for this bottle of medicine.
Although he has been arrested, he still fantasizes that if the Chen family can open up and allow family members to visit him, he can give the medicine to his son and let him take it back to his daughter-in-law.
She didn't hear Chen Jingke ask about the bottle of medicine just now. She thought she could get away with it, but she didn't expect that Shen Tianshu kept staring at the bottle of medicine!
Chen Jingke asked: "What medicine?"
"Rebirth medicine!" Shen Tianshu sighed. She did not expect that she would find the reincarnation medicine in the Chen family. This Wen family was probably sent by Miss Bai's subordinates or someone behind Miss Bai. .
It was a pity that we could not catch Miss Bai and her men in one fell swoop.
Chen Jingke had also heard about the sensational case of reincarnation drugs before, but he never expected that he would find it in his own home.
He immediately said sternly to Aunt Dong: "Hurry up and hand over the medicine bottle!"
Aunt Dong tried her best to shrink her hand back.
Now this bottle of medicine is more important in her heart than her own life.
Chen Jingke was about to step forward and grab it, but Li Zian reached out to stop him.
Shen Tianshu stepped forward, stretched out his white jade-like fingers and lightly touched Nanny Dong's wrist.
I don’t know what acupuncture point she pressed, but Grandma Dong felt a numbness in her right arm, and her fingers instantly lost strength.
In the blink of an eye, the medicine bottle she was holding tightly fell into Shen Tianshu's hands.
"Give it back to me, give me the medicine back!" Aunt Dong struggled and shouted wildly. The two people escorting her did not check for a moment, and they almost broke away from her. They quickly increased their strength and pushed her to the ground.
Her face was pressed into the soil, but Aunt Dong was still shouting: "My medicine, please give it back to me, or I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost, I..."
Chen Jingke said quickly: "Why don't you stop her mouth quickly? Do you want her to wake everyone up?"
After both Aunt Dong and Mrs. Wen were escorted away, Chen Jingke finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Shen Tianshu with admiration, and said: "This time I was able to follow the clues and catch the culprit behind the scenes. It is thanks to Mrs. Tong's help, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
That's right, all of today's arrangements were negotiated by Shen Tianshu, Li Zian and Chen Jingke.
Although Mrs. Chen was indeed grieved by her brother's death, it was not to such an extent.
Everything that happened at night was just an act, mainly to lure out all the people involved in this matter.
"I always thought it was Aunt Wu who did these things, but I didn't expect it was Aunt Dong." Chen Jingke frowned and said, "Aunt Dong is the old man who has been with my grandmother for the longest time. If grandma knows about it, It will definitely be very sad.”
Shen Tianshu held the medicine bottle and said helplessly: "She shouted so loudly, Mrs. Chen must have heard it.
"I don't know how many tragedies have happened just because of this bottle of harmful things."
Chen Jingke asked: "Ms. Tong, what exactly is this so-called reincarnation medicine?"
"It is a ridiculous work of a delusional person, and was later used by someone with evil intentions as a tool to achieve their own evil purposes."
Li Zian stepped forward to interrupt the conversation between the two, took off his cloak and put it on Shen Tianshu's shoulders.
"It's windy and cold at night. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get back!"
Only then did Chen Jingke realize that he was too close to Shen Tianshu, so he quickly took two steps back to distance himself.
That is someone else's fiancée. Even if the other person is not a prince, he should avoid suspicion and observe etiquette.
Never make any more disrespectful behavior.
Although he thought so rationally, Chen Jingke couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy and jealousy in his heart when he saw Li Zian and Shen Tianshu walking back side by side.
The prince's luck is so good. Who can tell him where to go to find such a perfect fiancée?
