Chapter 358 Still born
Chapter 358 Still born
Yu Dong followed her grandmother out in the backyard, looking at the solemn expression of her grandmother she understood that whatever her grandmother was going to tell her, it was nothing good, with a sigh she shook her head. Looks like her limits were going to be tested again, though her grandmother was a lot stronger than her Yu Dong still hoped that she wouldn’t lose control of herself.Wu Junfen came to a stop at the vegetable patch that was being taken care of by Ye Liu and with another pang Yu Dong realised that if that idiot would have died then she would have never forgiven herself much less forgotten him or Shen Li with all the little traces they scattered around in the house.
” Your husbands…” Wu Junfen spoke suddenly wrenching Yu Dong out of her thoughts, Yu Dong turned her attention to Wu Junfen instead of her husbands and waited with bated breath. ” They are poisoned.”
” They are what?” Yu Dong felt a tic start in the corner of her eyes, she thought that this matter has something to with Shen Li and Ye Liu’s constitution but she never thought that there will be poison involved as she even thought that maybe she misheard what her grandmother said to her just now.
Wu Junfen frowned slightly as she crossed her arms and tapped her fingers on her elbow. ” Poisoned, I believe they were given a small amount of pennyroyal.” She pondered over it carefully as she added. ” Generally, such a poisonous herb is not used by anyone without proper measures being taken care of after all even five grams of that thing can be very toxic indeed. Any suspicions who would have done such a thing?”
Yu Dong pursed her lips and shook her head, she didn’t have any idea why someone would do something so repulsive as poisoning her husbands as far as she knew that she had never offended anyone to the point that they would try to harm her husbands and make them infertile. Even the memories of the old Yu Dong didn’t have any kind of recollection of such a thing happening to her husbands. ” If they are poisoned why is it that I was never able to detect it.”
” Because you were treating them as men,” said Wu Junfen simply as she closed her eyes and carefully answered. ” You took their physique as something that was faintly similar to the men of the modern world but that’s not how it is, their constitution is different than men that’s why you were never able to detect something like that, it’s your mistake. You should have thought it true and tried to understand their physique well.”
She didn’t say anything after being reprimanded, her grandmother was right. She didn’t take care of the matter properly, she should have tried to think it was true and examined her husbands body carefully.
” So are you trying to tell me that they have been poisoned for a long time?” asked Yu Dong after thinking it carefully. If Shen Li and Ye Liu were poisoned a few days ago then their situation wouldn’t have turned so dire that they decided to take such a step, for them to take such a decision they must have been poisoned for a very long time for their condition to have deteriorated to the point of no return.
”That’s right,” Wu Junfen nodded as she drummed her fingers on her temple this was her habit, every time she thought about something very carefully she would tap her forehead. ” those two have been administered to poison for years as if —- whoever gave it to them was trying to see how good their resistance was to poison. They must have added a short amount to Shen Li and Ye Liu’s meals or maybe somewhere else in a way that was left undetected but still does it work. I must say that I am kind of impressed.”
Yu Dong felt her brows twitch as she echoed, ” You are impressed? That guy whoever it was poisoned, my husbands.”
” Not at once though,” said Wu Junfen as she raised her finger and wriggled it in front of Yu Dong with a smile. ” Don’t you think that the patience of whoever is behind this is extraordinary? Imagine waiting for years to take their revenge. I would rather kill my enemies in one sweep than wait for them to die.” Then with a humourless smile, she tilted her head and added, ” But whoever is the one behind this must have a really bad grudge with you Yu Dong, to think that they were trying to clear off your bloodline with one sweep, what a tragedy.”
When Yu Dong heard Wu Junfen’s words her head buzzed like someone has sledgehammered her on the back of her head. ” What did you say? Clear my bloodline? Wasn’t it just Ye Liu and Shen Li?”
” Who says that it’s just those two, your youngest was affected by it as well,” said Wu Junfen as she strode towards Yu Dong and peered in her eyes and clicked her tongue. ” You have been careless Dong Dong, have you never wondered why your third husband never got pregnant after he gave birth? Don’t you think it’s weird with your health, you should be able to get him pregnant again but he isn’t——what if he was hurt as well and let me tell you something really interesting about your son too,” she swooped down and got closer to Yu Dong’s face without a trace of a smile on her face. ” Even that son of yours was supposed to be stillborn, he was already dead in Chen Mi’s womb but because you came at the right time and managed to save his life and since his soul didn’t leave his body, your powers managed to keep his little life.”
Wu Junfen paused then patted Yu Dong’s cheek. ” I will be very careful you know if I were you, don’t forget Fang Chi is still pregnant.”
