Chapter 199 - A Hidden Past
Who could be so cruel to a girl without any spiritual energy?
This wound has probably been here for more than ten years, right?
Keeping the shock in her heart, she began to carefully examine her pulse.
The woman had indeed fainted. The poison in her body had flared up yesterday and she had been unconscious for a day and a night. However, her life was not in danger. Just as Ye Jun had said, the woman was indeed poisoned. This poison was the same as all the burns on the woman's body, they had all existed for more than a decade.
However, the woman had already melded into one, it was impossible for the Herba Moniliformis to use poison against another, so it was clear that this was the reason the woman said she could use it to fend off Ye Jun. If there was still no antidote, the woman still had a month of life to live.
"Qianhan, how is Grandma?" Ye Jun asked somewhat anxiously.
Xiao Qianhan gently shook her head, "It's nothing serious right now, help me get some hot water."
Ye Jun immediately went out to pour a cup of cold water, and then used her spirit energy to quickly heat up the cold water in the cup.
Seeing that, Xiao Qianhan took out a pill and placed it into the water, waiting for the pill to dissolve in the hot water, "This pill can quickly recover grandma's strength, and has no other effects. She was unconscious for an entire day and night, and her body is extremely weak. Let her recover some of her strength first, she should be able to wake up in around two hours. "
After the pill dissolved in the water, Ye Jun immediately blew on the water to cool it, and then gave it to the lady to drink.
After finishing everything, the two of them walked out of the room and arrived at Ye Jun's room.
The moment he sat down, Ye Jun impatiently asked: "Qianhan, Grandma, she … Could the Herba Moniliformis not save Granny? For the past two days I've been thinking that Grandma was trying to get away from me and didn't want me to see her leave. "
"You guessed right, the Herba Moniliformis cannot save her. The poison in her body has already entered deep into her bones, there is no cure. " Xiao Qianhan said with extreme helplessness between her words. If she had treated him five years earlier, she would have been able to extend her life for ten more years. But now, the poison had fused with her organs, blood, bone marrow, and every inch of skin. Even with the best detoxification pill, it was difficult to cure.
No one understood her mother-in-law's situation better than her. From the day she was taken in by her mother-in-law, she understood one thing, and that was that in this world, other than her mother who was good to her, only her mother-in-law would leave her one day.
Only, once these words came out of Xiao Qianhan's mouth, she had to force herself to face these facts with clarity.
"I can make her feel less painful." Xiao Qianhan said in a serious tone.
Ye Jun pursed her lips tightly, "Qianhan, thank you."
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Qianhan still asked: "Ye Jun, do you know anything about this old woman?" How on earth did she get all those wounds and poisons? What cruel story was behind all this?
"Granny never told me anything about her. A few years ago, I asked her about it out of curiosity, but she always told me not to ask about it. Gradually, I stopped asking about it. She only answered one question. She has relatives, but she cannot meet them. She hopes that no one in this world knows that she is still alive. " Ye Jun sighed softly, recalling the times she spent with her mother-in-law all these years. Only now did she recall that she really did not know much about her mother-in-law.
Xiao Qianhan's expression changed slightly as she suddenly thought of a possibility. This thought quickly flashed through her mind, "Do you know how the injuries on her body were caused?"
"She was burned to death by a huge fire. She was poisoned unknowingly, and then, she came to Western Lantern Kingdom from the East Ling." Ye Jun lowered her head and replied dejectedly. As long as she thought of how her mother-in-law only had a month left to live, she wouldn't be able to truly calm down. In her heart, Granny was like a mother to her. Now, even her mother-in-law was about to leave her …
A big fire?
It seemed like Grandma was intentionally hiding this from Ye Jun. Why did she have to think of a reason to lie to him? Xiao Qianhan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The wounds on her body and face are not from a big fire. The ones who escaped from the fire would have the worst injuries on their hands, and her hands did not have the slightest burn. Ye Jun, the thing that I am going to say next will be very cruel, you … "
Hearing that, Ye Jun suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Qianhan, "It's not a big fire? "What made it?" Why did the mother-in-law lie to her? Was it because that experience was too cruel?
"Those injuries were all burned inch by inch by the soldering iron. The pain that she has endured is definitely not something we can imagine. If it was anyone else, it would have been difficult for them to survive this ordeal. Even if they managed to survive, they would most likely commit suicide if they saw a completely different face for themselves. Moreover, she was poisoned; if she didn't accidentally eat a poisonous plant, it would have been impossible for her to survive until now. Ye Jun, this is the last month of her life. There are some things that I know you don't wish to leave behind. " Xiao Qianhan's tone was deep, her expression cold. This was the first time she had seen such cruel torture, so the shock it brought her could not be described with words.
Those wounds were not the result of a fire. They were caused by a soldering iron that burned every inch of his skin!
Who could it be?
Who could be so cruel to his mother-in-law?
Ye Jun clenched her fists tightly, her eyes turning red, "Who exactly is it? Why are you treating your mother-in-law, who can't cultivate and doesn't have spiritual energy, with such cruelty? "
Xiao Qianhan looked deeply into Ye Jun's fury, and gently shook her head, "Only Grandma will know the truth, all the way until the moment she had hidden herself, it can only mean one thing, she doesn't want you to know about it, and even more so, doesn't want to use you to take revenge."
"She helped me raise her, so I can't just watch her die with my eyes open." Ye Jun clenched his teeth and said.
Xiao Qianhan looked at the anger revealed from Ye Jun's eyes, and suddenly, the story that Ning Siqi had told her about Ye Jun surfaced in her mind. Is Grandma really from the East Ling? It really had nothing to do with Ye Jun? Was it really just because they saw Ye Jun being chased out by her family that they took him in?
Was there really such a coincidence in this world?
"Ye Jun."
Ye Jun looked at Xiao Qianhan, both her eyes still scarlet red, and between her tightly clenched fists, she saw that blood was flowing from between her fingers.
Xiao Qianhan originally wanted to inform Ye Jun of her guess, but she stopped thinking about it. She would only tell Ye Jun the truth when she had confirmed it, and then, she would tell Ye Jun the truth before she was even certain about it.
"I'll write a prescription. There are some things I need on it. Can you help me buy them? I'm here to look after my mother-in-law. " Xiao Qianhan said in a serious tone.
Ye Jun looked at Xiao Qianhan in a daze, and only after a long time did she regain her senses, and nodded strongly: "Alright, I will go now."
