Chapter 1950: Chapter 993: Irrefutable Evidence (Part 2)
"There’s really a problem with that medicine." Lady Zhang was startled, her face changing color.
"Not only a problem, but a big one." Wu Lang said with a dark expression, "That pill is specifically for women, a medicine for clearing blood stasis. The dosage is increased several times, and if taken, it would cause unstoppable bleeding, and carelessly, it could cost one’s life."
"Ah!" Lady Zhang exclaimed, her whole body trembling. What Wu Lang said was somewhat euphemistic, but being experienced, Lady Zhang understood. The white pill given by Yan Daopo was obviously akin to a fierce abortive medicine. Even a mature woman couldn’t withstand it, let alone a girl who hasn’t come of age.
Furthermore, even if life could be saved after taking this medicine, the body would be almost ruined. Even if a doctor was called to nurse back to health, some things would be hard to talk about openly.
"This is really knowing people’s faces but not their hearts. That old woman, she herself is a pitiful person. How could she be so vicious and hurt others? When did we ever offend her... heartless beast..." Lady Zhang cursed while her eyes turned red.
Perhaps deep down, Lady Zhang trusted her own children more, but she still harbored some illusion about Yan Daopo. Lady Zhang didn’t want to believe that Yan Daopo would be so evil and so ruthlessly harm others.
"Wasted my earnest heart on her, heartless beast." Lady Zhang cursed again.
"Mom, there’s no need to be sad for her." Lian Manman saw Lady Zhang’s eyes turn red, so she consoled, "She was a scammer roaming the streets, definitely promised great benefits by the other side for this matter."
"Manman, mom is not sad for that poisonous old woman." Lady Zhang said, "I’m scared in hindsight. Fortunately, I didn’t listen to her, otherwise, it would’ve been a lifetime regret... I wouldn’t have survived."
Saying this, Lady Zhang grew even more fearful, pulling Lian Manman into her embrace, truly bursting into tears.
"My poor child, you’ve crossed the threshold of death again and again. Why do these people begrudge us our happiness? Thank goodness heaven has eyes..." Lady Zhang sobbed as she spoke.
Lian Manman, held by Lady Zhang, felt rather helpless, knowing Lady Zhang was being reminded of past events.
"Mom, do you understand now and remember this lesson?" Lian Manman didn’t comfort Lady Zhang but instead asked her, "Mom, will you still invite those fortune tellers and deceivers home in the future?"
Lian Manman thought to take this chance to thoroughly educate Lady Zhang, to prevent any similar trouble in the future.
"I understand it all; I’ll definitely remember it from now on." Lady Zhang said, "Almost got your life harmed, such a big lesson, how could I not remember it till the day I die. I won’t deal with people like Yan Daopo or Old Dao woman anymore."
"From now on, I’ll definitely listen to you all." Lady Zhang finally promised, "I won’t keep any secret savings either, I’ll hand them all over to you guys, to prevent those people from eyeing my money again."
Lian Manman glanced at Wu Lang from within Lady Zhang’s embrace, and the siblings exchanged a look of both relief and helplessness.
"Mom, please stop crying. The matter at hand still awaits our handling." Wu Lang urged Lady Zhang.
Hearing Wu Lang mention handling the current important matter, Lady Zhang quickly wiped her tears and released Lian Manman. From then on, Lady Zhang listened to her children’s words, especially those of Wu Lang and Lian Manman, and never acted on her own. Consequently, the Lian Family home remained harmonious and peaceful, thriving steadily, which was a crucial factor.
"The evidence is conclusive, brother, quickly have Yan Daopo tied up." Lian Manman said to Wu Lang, "After interrogating her, it will be easier for Third Uncle and Dad to take action."
The siblings huddled together, discussing in low voices.
"I don’t believe she doesn’t value her life." Lian Manman said to Wu Lang, "This way, she’s sure to confess obediently."
"Okay." Wu Lang nodded, and immediately sent the word out.
In the backyard, in a neat side room, Yan Daopo sat on the brick bed by the window, flanked by Xiao Xi and Duoshou. The two maids were serving Yan Daopo tea and snacks, chatting with her.
The tea was good, so were the snacks, and both maids wore bright smiles, yet Yan Daopo sat there as if on pins and needles.
Feeling something was off since leaving Lady Zhang, she’d been intercepted by these two maids. Sitting here for over half a Chinese hour, every attempt to leave was blocked by the two maids. Looking at the smiling maids and the door where two little maids and four or five sturdy women were standing, Yan Daopo had a bad premonition, fearing she couldn’t walk away from this.
Thinking this, sweat appeared on Yan Daopo’s forehead.
"Girls, it’s getting late, this old woman really should be leaving." Yan Daopo stood up once again, "If the girls need to burn incense, fulfill a vow, or seek divination, this old woman will take care of everything, and won’t charge any money. I’ll come back tomorrow."
Xiao Xi and Duoshou also stood up, grabbing Yan Daopo by both sides.
Just as the two maids were about to speak and persuade her to stay, they heard chaotic footsteps outside.
"Quickly grab that old witch, don’t let her escape. The young lady took her medicine and she’s not well." As the footsteps reached the door, the voice was clearly heard coming in.
Feeling guilty, Yan Daopo let out a painful sound, secretly crying inside. Lady Zhang actually did follow her words and let Lian Manman take the medicine. This medicine was indeed lethal, acting so quickly. What’s worse is she hadn’t managed to escape yet. The medicine shouldn’t have acted so fast; did the Qian Family mother and daughter add something extra fearing Lian Manman wouldn’t die?
This really could kill someone.
