Gu Xin frowned as she looked at Zhong Shi on the ground, feeling no pity whatsoever.
She could have given her a cup of water mixed with jade beads, which would have relieved her symptoms, but she didn't want to at all.
The kindness of giving birth is not as great as the kindness of raising, but just because you raised her doesn't mean you can decide her life or death.
Furthermore, this couple has never deserved sympathy since they heartlessly murdered a family of three and stole their identities more than a decade ago.
"Tie her up and keep an eye on her!" Gu Xin ordered.
The guards of the Qian family immediately did as instructed.
“Gag her too,” Gu Xin added.
Some people are constantly insane, while others experience intermittent episodes. Gu Xin is worried that Zhong Shi's condition is intermittent, and that it would be terrible if he suddenly regained consciousness and committed suicide.
She has done so many evil deeds, how can we let her die so easily?
Sometimes dying is easy; living is torture.
...
"This Zhong woman, I never realized she'd gotten herself into so much trouble all these years!" In the dining room, Mr. Qian said angrily, "I thought she was just a widow raising her child, but I never imagined..."
"Grandpa Qian, they came to Qi'an Town more than ten years ago. You must have been retired before then, right? Who was in charge of the household registration in Qi'an Town back then?" Gu Xin asked.
“Our Qi’an Town is under the jurisdiction of Yulin County. However, there have been rumors for years that the capital city plans to turn Qi’an Town into a suburban area. The original household registration should be recorded in Yulin County.” After saying this, Master Qian understood Gu Xin’s meaning. “Xin Xin, are you planning to check the household registration and find the relatives of the person who died more than ten years ago?”
“That’s right.” Gu Xin nodded. “Presumably, the relatives of that family of three must have searched for them all these years after they disappeared. Yizhou isn’t far from Taizhou. Although so many years have passed, they might not be able to find the bodies of that family of three, but at least their relatives should know the news. We also need to look for Hu Qiangzi’s biological father. Hu Qiangzi was stolen at birth. I don’t know if his biological father will let him return to his ancestral home, but at least he should know about it. It’s better than letting Hu Qiangzi wander the world as a lonely ghost.”
"Yes, that's right. That makes sense. I'll have someone take care of this!" Master Qian stroked his beard and said.
"Those two are really ruthless, and incredibly lucky. If she hadn't spoken up all these years ago, probably no one would have known," Gu En exclaimed.
"Grandpa Qian, do you remember the plague that happened in Zhong's village? Did everyone really die?" Gu Xin asked.
"Yes. That plague there was quite severe, infecting people in several villages. The imperial court sent most of its physicians, including the legendary physician Long. It took half a year to concoct a medicine to alleviate the symptoms. But those who had been infected for a long time could not be saved. That plague was the most severe I have ever seen in my life; it was very contagious. Therefore, sealing off the villages was a decision made out of necessity. If we hadn't sealed off the villages, even more people would have been infected." Master Qian's expression was serious, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Gu Xin pursed her lips, an idea forming in her mind.
She hasn't experienced these things at her age, but that doesn't mean she won't encounter them in the future.
What should we do if this situation occurs in the future?
Should she pick up a medical book and learn more so that when she encounters a similar situation, using the jade beads might reduce the number of casualties?
