Mada Lin laughed and laughed, until she could hardly catch her breath.
"Back then, he used manipulations, and I was forced to agree to their marriage. Unexpectedly, this wretched woman soon beca pregnant. I tried multiple tis to cause her a miscarriage, but she evaded every attempt. Later, Xie Wu went to Xie Zian, claiming he wanted to focus on his studies and prepare for next year’s imperial examination, so he moved to a manor in the capital’s outskirts. Mada Luo accompanied him and, not long after, gave birth to their eldest son, Xie Si."
"You truly are a venomous woman!" Ji Youzhi muttered under his breath.
"HAHAHA! Venomous, am I? Divine Hunter Ji, have you ever loved soone? Do you know the feeling of your heart being torn apart? Looking at a child who has the exact sa face as your beloved, tell , how would you feel? What’s more, the one who bore his child is soone you wish you could flay alive!"
Mada Lin’s words were not difficult to understand. Everyone present now had a clear understanding of the whole story.
More than half a year after Luo Shi had given birth to Xie Si, Mada Lin visited the manor outside the city. By then, Xie Si was almost a year old and could barely stand.
Mada Lin looked at the child, who was the spitting image of Xie Wu. She wished desperately that he was her own flesh and blood, conceived with Xie Wu.
Unexpectedly, news arrived that Mada Luo was pregnant. Enraged beyond asure, Mada Lin directly afflicted Xie Si with a Gu in front of Xie Wu, intending to make Xie Wu submit to her. Just as the Gu was administered, she herself fainted. Upon awakening, she too was diagnosed as pregnant.
It was truly a cruel twist of fate. So, Mada Lin used the Gu Poison afflicting Xie Si to threaten Xie Wu. She had implanted an offspring Gu Insect in Xie Si, and there was also a parent Gu Insect. If the parent Gu Insect was not transferred to one of Xie Si’s blood relatives within three days, Xie Si would die violently.
She demanded Xie Wu choose whether the parent Gu Insect would be implanted in him or in Mada Luo.
Unexpectedly, Xie Si, without hesitation, implanted the parent Gu Insect into himself. This was the scene Xiaosuisui had witnessed.
"Shaless trollop! Vile creature! For the Xie Family to have a daughter-in-law like you is a curse upon eight generations, truly a disgrace to our household! Lord God Hunter, everything is clear now. This depraved woman acted purely out of selfish desire, her love turning to hatred, which led her to commit such a terrible wrong. Please, Lord God Hunter, show leniency. This is a dostic affair of our Xie Family; please allow us to resolve it ourselves!"
Old Mada Xie was furious, yet she also heaved a heavy sigh of relief inwardly. After all, this matter did not involve the cri of treason. She was the one most eager to see the case concluded.
Ji Youzhi naturally understood her thoughts, but his true purpose was not as simple as rely uncovering Mada Lin’s motives.
He said to Old Mada Xie, "There is still one unresolved point in this matter. This Gu Insect cos from Nanjiang. How did First Mada Xie obtain it? Could it be that First Mada Xie is colluding with Nanjiang?"
Hearing this, Old Mada Xie’s heart lurched with panic. She snatched up a teacup from the table and hurled it at Mada Lin. "You venomous woman! Speak quickly, where did that Gu Insect truly co from!"
Mada Lin did not dodge, allowing Old Mada Xie’s teacup to strike her.
"I obtained the Gu Insect from a Mister Wu."
"Who is this Mister Wu?" Ji Youzhi seized upon the crucial point and pressed further.
"Mister Wu is an itinerant physician, considered an extraordinary individual with unique talents. His dical Skill is profound, capable of bringing the dying back to life and fleshing out bare bones. He is the most skilled Doctor I have ever t. When I was a child, I suffered a grave illness, and it was he who saved . Since then, whenever I felt unwell, I would seek him out."
"Where is this Mister Wu from? And why would he cultivate Gu Insects?"
Ji Youzhi had finally asked the question he had been longing to know the answer to.
