Alarm bells rang in Gu Jiangli's heart. She knew that Jiang Huaisong was destined to be childless for life, but she had always thought it was fate.
Now it seems, was it also man-made?
Jiang Huaizhi added, "I arranged for the girls he went out to meet every time. The girls would put something in the drinks they gave him, only a little bit each time, so he couldn't taste anything unusual and his body wouldn't react."
"After all these years, he should be a cripple by now."
Gu Jiangli then suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that all of this was indeed done by Jiang Huai.
"But...why?" Although he and Jiang Huaisong didn't get along well, they didn't seem to hate each other to the point of irreconcilable enmity.
Why did he take such a ruthless approach towards Jiang Huaisong?
"Didn't Sun Chan also mention today that I can't have children? It's actually true."
"Back then, Jiang Huaisong was mischievous. He bought a kind of medicine from a neighboring city. It was originally for livestock, but he was curious about what would happen if people took it."
Gu Jiangli had already guessed about 70-80% of what was to come.
"Did he feed you?"
"Yes, he put it in my soup and watched me drink it. Then I fell ill, very ill, and almost died. The oldest doctor in town came to see me and said I would be left with a chronic illness and would never be able to have children."
Gu Jiangli was furious. "Do the city lord and his wife know? They didn't even stand up for you?"
Jiang Huaizhi gave a self-deprecating smile in the darkness: "They knew, they knew all along that there was something in that bowl of soup, but they didn't know exactly what it was, nor did they know that it would make me so seriously ill after I drank it."
"They knew...and then what? Did they severely punish Jiang Huaisong?"
"No, my father gave him a few whacks, and that was the end of it. When Huaisong was born, my mother had a difficult childbirth and almost died along with her unborn child, so they doted on him especially. And since I can no longer continue the bloodline of the city lord's mansion, I am even more useless in their eyes."
Gu Jiangli felt a little sad.
"You were cured later?"
"I was cured. Actually, I later found that the disease was not difficult to treat. I changed doctors twice and recovered in less than a year. They were unwilling to treat me, probably because they felt it was unnecessary."
She understood everything.
And I don't want to verify the truth of this matter.
Because this is something Jiang Huaisong is perfectly capable of doing.
“Huaizhi, you did the right thing. Jiang Huaisong deserved what he got.”
