"Gu Xun!"
Gu Jiangli heard the insulting words directed at her just as she pushed open the door.
She strode forward and pulled Wen An behind her, wishing she could slap Gu Xun across the face.
He had just raised his hand to his waist when she forcibly stopped him.
In front of Wen An, she always remembered to maintain her image and not set a bad example for him. Under no circumstances could she lay a hand on him.
Wen An peeked out from behind her, tilting his head back to look at his mother and father.
He could clearly sense that the two people were angry, but he didn't know where the anger came from.
"Mother, Father, did Wen An do something wrong?"
His innocent eyes shone with confusion and bewilderment.
Gu Jiangli forced a smile at him, then took his hand and left the room.
Xie Shiyan stood still, accompanied by Doctor Liu Kang.
Stepping outside, she crouched down and looked Wen Anping in the eye.
"Wen An did nothing wrong. It was Mother who couldn't control her emotions and frightened Wen An, wasn't it?"
Gu Jiangli wore a gentle and kind smile, trying her best to dissipate some of the fierceness emanating from her.
The grudges of the previous generation were something she and Xie Shiyan had to resolve; from the beginning, she had no intention of involving Wen An.
Wen An shook his head blankly. "Mother, I'm not scared. Did Grandfather hurt you? Did he do bad things to you before? The woman in bed was the same, wasn't she?"
Gu Jiangli choked up.
Wen An already knew Gu Xun's identity, so she understood that they were also blood relatives.
She tried to maintain her facial expression and said:
"Wen An doesn't need to listen to what his grandfather said, nor does he need to know about the past. Wen An just needs to look forward."
Wen An pouted, glanced at Doctor Liu who was standing silently to the side, and said reluctantly:
"Of course I don't believe my maternal grandfather's words. I know my mother's character better than anyone else."
"But Mother... medical skills require attention to the past."
"As a doctor, you should try your best to know what diseases a person has had and what medicines they have taken."
“Mother is also sick. If you are controlled by anger, it will surely damage your heart and liver in the future. Wen’an doesn’t want Mother to be sick. He just wants Mother to be happy like before.”
His childlike words carried Wen An's most fundamental wish.
Gu Jiangli's eyes welled up with tears; the sudden surge of anger from before had subsided by three-tenths.
She pursed her lips and followed Wen An's words:
"What if the two people in this house have deeply hurt me, and even wanted to hurt Wen An? What would you do then?"
Wen An seemed to have known all this beforehand, so he spoke without hesitation:
"The book says that if people do evil, they will be taken away by evil spirits. They have not been taken away yet because they have not paid enough for the suffering they have in the human world."
“After they have endured a certain amount of suffering, evil spirits will come and take away their filthy souls.”
"Wen An hopes those evil spirits will come soon. Only when they disappear without a trace will Mother be truly happy."
Gu Jiangli was briefly taken aback upon hearing this.
Wen An meant that he hoped these two people would die sooner.
Only death can cleanse sins.
After realizing what was happening, Gu Jiangli asked in astonishment:
"What...where did you see this in? Aren't you usually reading medical books?"
Wen An smiled brightly, "Aunt Lotus accompanied me to see it. I don't know what kind of book it is. The contents are obscure and difficult to understand. It is indeed not as interesting as medical books."
"But Aunt Lotus explained everything to me carefully, and I remembered it all."
Gu Jiangli nodded blankly.
It turned out to be a lotus flower.
It felt like a tension that had been pressing down on my heart had finally snapped.
Lotus harbored no less hatred for these two people than she did for herself.
She's been taking care of the two people in this house for so long; she's probably been wanting revenge for a long time.
The so-called "evil spirit" that Wen An mentioned was probably just Lotus herself wanting to kill her enemy.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Gu Jiangli's lips.
The two people inside the house were already doomed.
Today, Wen An's mention of it has only accelerated their deaths.
"Wen An, you've already taken their pulses, right?"
"Yes, and a new prescription has already been written and given to the master."
"Is Wen An confident he can cure their plague?"
A dazzling light shone in Wen An's eyes. "Yes! Mother, I can do it! I'll definitely see results in seven days at most."
He clenched his small fists, and his confident demeanor made Gu Jiangli feel very reassured.
"Then Mother will entrust this plague to Wen An."
"Okay. After I cure their plague, will Mother make herself happy?"
Gu Jiangli smiled and said, "Of course, after the plague is cured, evil spirits will come to collect their filthy souls."
She stood up and placed Wen An's hand in Liu Kang's hand.
She did not say anything to blame Liu Kang.
In fact, she understood why Liu Kang did this.
There has been no progress in finding a cure for the plague, and Liu Kang himself is very anxious.
Liu Kang must have realized that Wen An's talent surpassed that of all the physicians. To save the people of Northern Qi, it would be more effective to place all hope in Wen An than in himself.
That's why he brought Wen An to see the source of the plague.
Liu Kang held Wen An's hand with one hand and tightly gripped the prescription Wen An had written with the other.
