The little ones fell asleep softly and tenderly. They didn't know what they had just gone through to come to this world.
The old woman of the Tian family looked at the pair of grandchildren, but there was no joy on her face.
A trace of viciousness flashed across her old eyes. After a while, the pair of withered hands covered the baby's face without hesitation.
"Ahem, if you dare to do it, I'll kill you on the spot immediately."
A ghostly voice suddenly came from the corner.
The old woman suddenly withdrew her hands as if she was scalded. She looked at the thin girl sitting quietly in the corner with a face full of fear.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me I can't hold my grandson? You're an outsider. What's the matter? "
Although the old woman remained calm on the surface, Lin Mengya seemed to have seen through her. She sat in the corner with sharp and cold eyes.
"It's you who gave her the safflower."
It was not a question, but an affirmation. Although her fingers could no longer feel the pregnant woman's pulse, the Shen Nung system made her as sharp as before.
"That … that's for her own good. They said that if the baby is born this month, the baby will be rich in the future. If it's born next month, the baby will be a beggar. "
The old woman's words were unreasonable, and her attitude was a little hysterical.
But Lin Mengya could tell at once that she was hiding something by avoiding his gaze.
"You know whether what you said is true or not. But I have one thing to tell you. As long as I'm here today, don't even think about touching a hair of these two babies. "
Lin Mengya's eyes were like torches. Even if she was sitting in a wheelchair now, it was difficult for her to even stand up by herself. But she had the determination to protect these two babies.
If they were delivered to this world by themselves, then she must be able to ensure that the babies grew up safely.
The old woman seemed to have been touched on her sore spot, and she suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"What can a disabled person like you do? I must kill this baby today. If it's gone, I can give birth to another baby. Fortunately, you're here. I'll say that you killed the baby later. You're a foreigner. What can you do to me? "
As expected, Lin Mengya had expected that she would say this.
She suddenly smiled with a playful expression, like a cat fiddling with its prey.
"Did you hear that? You can come in now. Brother, this is other people's family business. Let's go out. "
Lin Mengya raised her voice and shouted. Immediately, a pair of slender and graceful hands lifted the curtain at the door.
Then, under the old maid's horrified gaze, Tian Laosan and his son walked in with gloomy faces.
"You … you …"
The old maid pointed at her two men. Weren't they outside receiving those people's congratulations? Why was he lying in ambush here and eavesdropping on his conversation with that lass?
"Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs. However, if this tiger wants to eat someone else's child, it probably won't hesitate. I advise you to tell us what happened. Perhaps, you can still live. "
Qinghu glanced at the old maid coldly, walked straight over and pushed Lin Mengya out.
The rest was their family's business. Lin Mengya was also exhausted. What she needed most now was a good rest.
"You didn't expect things to turn out like this, did you?"
The two of them passed by the people who had been waiting outside. Lin Mengya tilted her head slightly and looked at Hou Yuetian, who was a little surprised.
Hou Yuetian lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying slowly.
"How did you know that there was something wrong with that mother-in-law?"
Originally, everyone thought that it was just a stupid move made by the mother-in-law because she wanted to have a grandson.
But after Lin Mengya heard it, she secretly told Qinghu that once the child was born, he should immediately remind the father and son of the Tian family to pay attention to the old maid's movements.
Little did she expect that she would really be caught red-handed.
"My daughter-in-law has not given birth for ten years, but the in-laws and her husband did not complain about that woman. It shows that they are all loyal, honest, and understanding people. Think about it, how could such a family rashly use safflower to induce labor before their daughter-in-law gave birth? Moreover, when their daughter-in-law's life and death were unknown, they cursed their daughter-in-law and refused to let others save her. Don't you think there is something wrong? "
Lin Mengya's words made Hou Yuetian immediately understand the crux of the problem.
Indeed, the father and son of the Tian family were loyal and kind teachers. Moreover, the whole village came to help their daughter-in-law give birth, which was enough to show that the status of the Tian family in the village was really not low.
Thinking about it, all the actions of the mother-in-law were indeed reasonable.
However, Hou Yuetian couldn't figure out why the mother-in-law would do such a thing.
But Lin Mengya was not in the mood to continue to explain to him. She had spent too much energy just now, and now she really should have a good rest.
It had to be said that what Lin Mengya had done just now made the villagers have a good impression on her.
Along the way, when everyone saw her with her eyes slightly closed, they couldn't help but slow down and quietly stop beside her.
After she passed, they continued to move.
Qinghu pushed her to the courtyard where they stayed, and carried Lin Mengya into the house.
Lin Mengya didn't know how long she had slept before she woke up.
She rubbed her swollen forehead. It seemed that as her physical strength weakened, the function of the Shen Nung system was gradually declining.
In order to save that woman just now, she had forcibly used all the functions of the Shen Nung system. The after-effect was that her head hurt as if it had been punched.
"Do you feel better? Let me help you up. Have some porridge. "
As if he had planned it, the moment Lin Mengya woke up, Qinghu came to her side with a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled melon.
"How did you know that I … I had a headache?"
Until now, Lin Mengya still felt a little strange.
Every time something happened to her, Qinghu was always the first to notice it.
Why did she have no secrets when she was in front of him?
"Of course. Nothing about you can escape my eyes. Drink it quickly, and let's hurry on our journey tomorrow. There is news from the Capital City that the prince has gone crazy and has personally led people to chase after us. "
Lin Mengya's eyebrows trembled slightly. Even if she hid her true thoughts, she still revealed a slight flaw.
"How could he possibly come? Could it be that he has handled everything in the Capital City? "
It was undeniable that when Qinghu said this, she actually had some expectations in her heart.
But she also knew that the current situation was turbulent. If Long Tianhao really chased after them, not only would the emperor think that he was using public funds for private purposes.
It would also give those enemies something to use against him, and they would easily discredit him.
Therefore, she chose to go on the journey with Qinghu. It was all for the sake of letting everything in the capital hinder his footsteps.
"I don't know whether he has handled it well or not. The only thing I know is that I don't know what he did to make the emperor agree. But based on what I know about the emperor's character, I'm afraid he is not someone who can be easily persuaded. "
Qinghu looked a little serious. Since Lin Mengya came back from the Nation of Lintian, he had been more vigilant against the old emperor.
There were some things that Qinghu did not know.
It was because of Lin Mengya's identity that he did not mention it.
"I also think that he is not the kind of person who will help others achieve their goals. We'd better be careful. I don't want to be stabbed in the back for the second time. Let's get rid of him. If he can't find me, he may go back. "
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Mengya also suppressed the urgent desire to see him in her heart.
There were some things that could not be done just because she wanted to. Moreover, a little bit of selfishness in her heart also hoped that in Long Tianhao's eyes and heart, she could always maintain the perfect image of herself in the past.
After only one night, Lin Mengya and the others had to hurry on with their journey. But the people in the village gathered at the entrance of the village and begged them to stay for a few more days.
The father and son of the Tian family even wanted to kowtow and kneel to them to thank Lin Mengya for her help.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to agree to stay for three more days.
Life in the village was so simple that she was not used to it.
Although there were not many people, the folk customs were very simple. Therefore, the matter about the old woman of the Tian family spread to every corner of the village in the evening of the next day.
As for Lin Mengya, she was not surprised at all and knew the whole truth.
It turned out that although the old woman was the daughter-in-law of the Third Master of the Tian family, she was dissolute for a while when she was young. After she gave birth to a child secretly, she could not have a child because of excessive bleeding.
Her family thought that she was a disgrace, so they could only hide it and married her to a remote place.
The Third Master of the Tian family was an orphan when he was young. His family did not have a stable position. It was good to be able to marry a wife, so he did not care so much.
Fortunately, he had such a filial and capable son. In the end, he married a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Although she did not have his biological child, the Third Master of the Tian family doted on his son and daughter-in-law as if they were his own children.
It was a pity that his daughter-in-law did not have a child for ten years. Now that she was pregnant, it was a great thing for him.
It was just that the old woman was jealous of her daughter-in-law. In addition, the child was not her biological child, so she wanted to kill her.
After hearing this, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
After everyone had left, he called Qinghu and wanted to go to the Tian family.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? "
Qinghu naturally listened to Lin Mengya and pushed her to go to the Tian family.
However, he did not understand why Lin Mengya still wanted to go to the Tian family when the truth had come to light.
