It was strange. Looking at these clothes, Lin Mengya fell into deep thought.
Everyone said that when her mother was still alive, she and her father were deeply in love. There was no scandal, let alone taking a concubine.
Since that was the case, why would a mother make such a plan for her son and daughter so early on?
Lin Mengya flipped through the clothes. Judging from the gold, jade, and jewels that were embroidered on them, she could tell that many of them were extremely delicate and exquisite.
Although her father often gave her mother many gifts, these did not seem to be from her father's mind.
"Ms. Tian, are these gifts from my father to my mother?"
Lin Mengya asked casually. Ms. Tian shook her head and said with a smile,
"Our master didn't have such a mind. I remember when I first came into the mansion, Madam was often angry because Master was not romantic. These are all Madam's dowry. I asked Madam where Miss Lin's maternal grandfather was from before. But Madam always gave me an ambiguous answer. As time went by, I stopped asking. "
These were all her mother's dowry?
Lin Mengya looked at a light yellow dress, which was decorated with big round pearls, and felt a little surprised.
These things were priceless now, not to mention more than ten years ago.
She had thought that her mother made early plans for her children, but now it seemed that she really treated these things as decorations.
Any one of them could be treated as a family heirloom. It seemed that her maternal grandfather, whom she had never met, was extremely rich.
But it was strange. Since they came from such a family, why had her mother never mentioned them?
And her maternal grandfather's family had never come to her.
She was really curious about her maternal grandfather's family, who could raise such a beautiful woman like her mother.
"I see. I think mother also thought that it would be bad for the reputation of my maternal grandfather's family to get married without permission."
In fact, Lin Mengya could not help feeling a little sorry. Although her father and mother loved each other sincerely. But in this feudal ancient society, it was not right for them to get married.
Even now, there would still be people who would make irresponsible remarks about him.
However, she admired her mother very much. No matter if it was the servants in the wang fu or the furen and taitai outside, as long as they had normal values, they would all praise and envy her mother.
A beautiful face was reflected in the mercury mirror.
Even Ms. Tian said that she looked exactly like her mother. In his heart, he couldn't help but outline a clearer and more vivid image of his mother.
What kind of person was her mysterious mother, who could bring her unexpected foreshadowing at every turn?
After the three of them tidied up for a while, everything was finally in place.
Even though they had just met and had endless things to talk about, it was already midnight. It was time to rest.
After watching Ms. Tian return to the guest room, Lin Mengya patted her head.
Oh no, they were having so much fun chatting that they forgot about Tian Ning's diagnosis.
At night, Lin Mengya didn't want to wake up too many people. She had no choice but to take Baizhi, who was already yawning, and quietly went to Tian Ning's room.
"Tian Ning, it's me, Lin Mengya. Are you asleep?"
Before there was any answer from inside, there was a burst of heart-wrenching coughing.
When he was a child, Ms. Tian had been worried about Tian Ning's health. However, Lin Mengya was curious that Ms. Tian and her mother were nominally master and servant, but in fact, they were closer than sisters.
Why didn't her mother cure Tian Ning's illness?
"Miss Tian, it's so late. You'd better go back and rest. I … I'm fine. "
Lin Mengya knew that her behavior was indeed a little inappropriate for people in ancient times.
It was all her fault. She had forgotten the serious business when talking with Ms. Tian.
"Well, I have loquat ointment for removing phlegm and relieving cough. If you're coughing too much, take some. It's good for moisturizing the throat. "
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the door opened a little.
In the dim candlelight, Tian Ning's pale and bloodless face was particularly frightening.
All of a sudden, the Shen Nung system's poison detection function was instantly activated, and Lin Mengya received a series of information.
She suddenly frowned. When she saw Tian Ning during the day, why didn't she have any information about these poisons?
"What did you take? Did you take any medicine? "
Lin Mengya immediately pushed the door open and grabbed Tian Ning's wrist.
Tian Ning stood there dumbly as if he had been electrocuted, not knowing why Lin Mengya asked him this question.
"I … I just took some pills. You know my body. If I don't take those pills, I won't be able to sleep tonight. "
Pills? After listening to Tian Ning's explanation, Lin Mengya let go of his hand and looked around the room.
Finally, she found a small box stuffed with various kinds of pills and powders at the head of Tian Ning's bed.
"Is the medicine you usually take in here?"
Tian Ning saw Lin Mengya frowning and nodded hesitantly.
The system in her brain operated automatically, and the names of some drugs that she couldn't be more familiar with instantly flashed through her mind.
There were some ingredients in this medicine, which were the same as the poison used to control Qinghu!
Didn't Qinghu say that only the trained killers would be fed this kind of medicine? Why, why did Tian Ning have these medicines?
Although the ingredients of these medicines were not heavy, it was a miracle that he could live until now!
"Who gave you these medicines? Have you taken anything else besides them? "
Lin Mengya's serious expression made Tian Ning a little nervous.
He held the table and finally sat down on the chair, but a series of violent coughs replaced what he wanted to say.
"These are all old prescriptions given by a famous doctor in the past. Originally, when Madam was still alive, I had stopped taking these medicines. However, Madam passed away in a hurry, so my illness was delayed. "
As she spoke, Lin Mengya had carefully felt his pulse.
It was different. It was a little different from Qinghu's.
Qinghu's situation could almost be described as riddled with holes. This was also why Lin Mengya couldn't use drastic methods to completely detoxify Qinghu.
Qinghu seemed to be strong and fine, but once the poison was detoxified, he would have no energy to survive. That person would be finished as well.
But Tian Ning's situation was different. Although he was weak, he had a good foundation. Although he was weak, his internal foundation was very good. The efficacy of those trace amounts of poison was gradually weakened.
Therefore, the medicine he took had a slight effect on delaying his illness.
Could it be that her mother had developed an antidote for the poison that even she was helpless about more than a decade ago?
More than a decade ago, Tian Ning was just a child. What kind of medicine did Mother use to nourish Tian Ning's body at such a young age without any harm?
"Ya 'er? Ya 'er? "
Tian Ning called her Miss, but Lin Mengya didn't respond at all.
He called out her nickname without thinking. Only then did the dazed person come back to her senses.
"Don't take these medicines anymore in the future. Tomorrow, I'll write you a prescription myself. Brother Tian Ning, do you still remember who gave you this prescription? "
This prescription was definitely not something that ordinary people could write.
Moreover, the reason why it hadn't been discovered until now was that there was nothing on it. It looked like poison.
However, after being mixed and adjusted by various means, it was a poison that harmed people invisibly.
Lin Mengya's back was covered with cold sweat. Why would someone plot to murder an ordinary person like Brother Tian Ning?
Tian Ning managed to stop coughing. After thinking for a while, he said faintly,
"I … I forgot what that man looked like. However, I've heard from my mother that back then, there was a plague in our village. The adults couldn't make it, but the children, because of their young age, could barely survive with medicine. Later, a miracle-working doctor went there and gave this prescription to the children in the village. He said that with this prescription, the children could live a few more days. Originally, the village chief had decided to give up on the children in the village. But my mother happened to be a helper in the mansion, so she escaped the disaster. She also secretly carried me out in the dark of night. When Madam heard about this, she immediately rushed to our village in person. Unfortunately, it was too late to save those children, and they all died. "
Plague? Children? Miracle-Working doctor? Prescription?
These four words weighed heavily on Lin Mengya's heart.
Qinghu had said that they were all children who were picked up or bought.
If it was really like what Brother Tian Ning said. In that case, that village might not just be suffering from a simple plague.
Only when the children saw with their own eyes that their parents were all dead would they lose hope of escaping from the clutches of the devil.
As for the children who had died in the plague, even if they were taken away by that evil force later on, they would only be dead people. Who would risk their lives to find out the cause of death of those children?
No wonder Qinghu refused to say the name of his behind-the-scenes boss.
Such a terrible person actually disregarded human life to this extent! Unforgivable, unforgivable!
Tian Ning and Baizhi looked worriedly at Lin Mengya, who was lost in thought.
Even Baizhi did not dare to breathe heavily when she saw that Lin Mengya's expression had turned from anger to deep depression.
After a long time, Lin Mengya returned to normal. But no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
"I'll take these medicines. Tian Ning, I'll make you get better. "
