"But! You shouldn't have harmed your own brothers, who were like family to you!" Li Erniang said angrily. "They share the same blood as you! How could you bear to do that!"
Li Jin clenched her fists and suddenly looked up at her second aunt. "It's not that I'm heartless! I had no choice! Second aunt, they joined forces to kill my mother, so I had to make them die!"
Li Erniang was taken aback.
"Do you know what kind of life I've lived since you left?" Li Jin cried. "They forced me to take away all the medical books you left me! They even said they would go find you and kill you! I really had no other choice, I really couldn't take it anymore!"
Li Erniang pursed her lips and remained silent. Indeed, this young man had been oppressed since childhood. Living under someone else's roof was far from enough to describe his plight. He clearly possessed talent, but it was stifled in its cradle, turning him into a useless person.
If it weren't for Li Erniang acting as a shield, he would probably have lived an ordinary life!
“Yes, there’s a saying that’s very true: either you erupt in silence or you perish in silence. You chose the former, and I shouldn’t blame you.” Li Erniang took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening. “But you don’t know how much hatred your revenge has brought!”
Li Erniang clearly saw that Li Ran's forbearance was no less than Li Jin's in front of her!
"I've done my best to make amends to the people I wanted to make amends to, Second Aunt, but I'm exhausted too..." Li Jin said with a bitter smile.
Li Erniang turned her head away, not wanting to see his face, and instead looked at the herb garden, coldly saying, "I'm here today to ask about herbs!"
“My second aunt has been incredibly kind to me. I’ll give you as much as you want, except for one thing…”
Before Li Jin could speak, Li Erniang interrupted him, "I only want that!"
Li Jin trembled, and exclaimed excitedly, "No! That's the medicine I'm preparing to use to overcome poisons, I can't..."
"Trying to fight poison with poison? Using poison to overcome something is a waste of your talents! Aren't you afraid that the poison will turn on you and kill you?" Li Erniang said coldly.
Li Jin stammered, "You, you mean that poison..."
"Don't you think that a poisonous flower cultivated with my poisonous blood could possibly be unable to overcome even ordinary poisons?" Li Erniang sneered.
“This…” Li Jin broke out in a cold sweat. “Could it be that my initial plan to deal with the poison was wrong?”
“Poisonous creatures are born of heaven and earth. No matter how poisonous they are, they all have their natural nemesis. As long as you find the nemesis, there’s no need for all that trouble!” Li Erniang said irritably, “You’re so smart all your life, but you’ve made a foolish mistake!”
Li Jin suddenly realized.
“I will keep the poisonous heart, and I will stay here temporarily to help you find the nemesis of that poison,” Li Erniang said.
