Chapter Sixty-Five: Meng Huaiyan Knows the Truth About Contraceptives

The maid came out of the pharmacy in less than a quarter of an hour.

Shen Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Have you found out? Do you know what medicine was prescribed?"

The maid looked troubled: "Miss, I couldn't find out anything. No matter how much I tried to persuade the doctor, he wouldn't say anything, saying it was the patient's privacy and he couldn't tell me."

“I tried to give him money, but he refused.”

Shen Li was truly surprised that the doctor at such a remote and unknown small pharmacy was so ethical that even money couldn't sway him.

If it's just a common cold, why bother hiding it like this?

Shen Li became even more curious about this matter, and she was determined to find out what Shen Tang was up to behind the scenes!

She took out a silver ingot and handed it to the maid: "Go and find someone to keep a close eye on this pharmacy. Whenever that Ah Yun appears, immediately follow her and see what medicine she is prescribing."

"Yes." The maid took the silver and respectfully withdrew to go find someone.

Because of this, Shen Li had no time to lament about her marriage; her mind was completely preoccupied with this matter, and she was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.

This wait lasted for almost half a month, and Shen Li was getting impatient.

Finally, the maidservant brought back the news: "Miss, A-Yun was prescribed a contraceptive."

"What did you say?!" Shen Li jumped up from her chair in shock. "Are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?!"

The maid was clearly shocked by the news. She took a breath and said, "It's absolutely true. The person I arranged said that he heard the doctor tell A-Yun that the contraceptive medicine was being taken too frequently and that taking too much of it was very bad for her health."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li's eyes widened in surprise. She was stunned by this earth-shattering news and stood there dumbfounded.

Countless people in the Great Liang Dynasty would rack their brains and go to great lengths to marry into the Duke's mansion.

Shen Tang got incredibly lucky and married Meng Huaiyan. Instead of being grateful, she even took contraceptive pills on her own initiative!

What else could she be but mentally ill?!

She, Shen Li, had tried so hard to find a good marriage, yet this wretched woman, Shen Tang, didn't even cherish such a good match.

At this moment, Shen Li's jealousy and hatred towards Shen Tang reached its peak.

If she's having a hard time, then everyone else should be having a hard time too!

She wondered what a wonderful expression Meng Huaiyan would have on his face if he knew that the woman he loved was unwilling to even carry his child.

Shen Li's face flushed with excitement, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, her eyes filled with ecstasy.

"Has the young master finished his shift?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "There shouldn't be any."

"Great! Great!" Shen Li couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer. "I'll go and wait for him at the door. I'm going to tell him this today!"

As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, she rushed towards the gate of the mansion.

As soon as Meng Huaiyan stepped into the mansion, Shen Li's eyes lit up, and she rushed up to him excitedly.

Qingyang reacted quickly and stepped forward to stop her.

As soon as Meng Huaiyan saw her, he remembered how she had seduced him last time. He gave her a cold look and then strode forward without stopping.

Seeing that he treated her like she didn't exist, Chen Li was so angry that she jumped up and down. She was so anxious that she tried to push away Qing Yang, who was blocking her way, but she couldn't budge him at all.

As Shen Li watched Meng Huaiyan walk further and further away, she grew anxious and shouted, "I'm looking for you because of Shen Tang!"

Meng Huaiyan ignored her completely, not even glancing at her.

Shen Li quickly shouted again, "Don't you want to know why Shen Tang hasn't gotten pregnant yet?!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Huaiyan paused, then finally turned around.

Seeing this, Qingyang released his hand that was blocking Shenli.

Once freed, Shen Li strode off toward Meng Huaiyan.

Meng Huaiyan gave her a cold look: "What did you just say?"

"I said that Shen Tang is not pregnant yet because she has been taking birth control pills!"

As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, she stared intently at Meng Huaiyan's face, trying to find an expression of exasperation on his face.

But to her disappointment, Meng Huaiyan remained expressionless, showing no sign of emotion whatsoever.

The moment Meng Huaiyan heard Shen Li's words, his heart clenched, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

He knew that Shen Li and Shen Tang had never gotten along, and it was hard to say whether she was deliberately stirring up trouble to sow discord.

Shen Tang is his wife; he shouldn't question her based on a few casual words from an outsider.

Meng Huaiyan suppressed his agitation and said to Shen Li, "Do you think I'll believe you?"

Shen Li was surprised that Meng Huaiyan did not believe her, and said anxiously, "Qianzhitang Pharmacy in the east of the city, Ayun always gets her medicine from that doctor. If you don't believe me, you can go and check."

Meng Huaiyan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a heavy, dark aura. He stared intently at Shen Li, as if trying to find any trace of lying on her face.

A moment later, Meng Huaiyan withdrew his gaze, then strode out of the mansion and walked briskly towards the east of the city.

Just as Dr. Zhao of Qianzhitang was preparing to have dinner with his grandson, several figures suddenly burst in through the door.

The leader was dressed in a purple official robe, with cold eyes and a menacing aura; he was clearly up to no good.

These ordinary people are most afraid of dealing with these officials.

Doctor Zhao turned pale with fright, his voice trembling slightly: "Sir...Sir, what has happened?"

Meng Huaiyan ignored him, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and quickly sketched A-Yun's appearance: "Do you recognize this person?"

Dr. Zhao looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

Meng Huaiyan's fingers, which were gripping the paper, suddenly tightened: "What medicine did she take from you?"

Doctor Zhao frowned, his face showing his displeasure: "Sir, this...this is a matter of patient privacy, and I'm afraid I cannot disclose that information."

If he were to casually reveal a customer's privacy, who would dare to come to his pharmacy in the future?

Meng Huaiyan gave Qingyang a meaningful look.

Qingyang instantly drew his sword from his waist and placed it against the neck of Doctor Zhao's grandson. The sword was so sharp that a bloody mark appeared on the child's neck in an instant.

The child, who was only five or six years old, was so frightened by this that he immediately burst into tears.

When Doctor Zhao saw the bloodstains on his grandson's neck, he was terrified and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Sir, spare my life! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"That young lady gave me contraceptive medicine. Please, sir, let us go. I know nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Huaiyan trembled and almost lost his balance.

Contraceptive! Contraceptive!

What Chen Li said was actually true.

How dare she, Chen Tang! How dare she treat him like this!!!
