Chapter 463: Five Generations of Single Succession
"The family is dwindling. From the perspective of numerology, the Si family must have an only child or a lonely star. From the perspective of Feng Shui, there is something wrong with the ancestral tomb. The fertility fortune is suppressed, and it is difficult to have many descendants. From the perspective of cause and effect, the family has not accumulated enough good karma, or the ancestors have bad karma, which has affected future generations."
Shen Wan finished speaking and put down the brush.
Bai Lao asked curiously, "Then what is the reason why the Si family has only one son for five generations?"
"It's a big family, and one of the four major families in the imperial capital. Logically, they shouldn't have a shortage of offspring."
"I think the ancestors of the Si family must have done something wrong, and God is punishing his family."
Chen Wan smiled faintly: "We need to conduct a thorough investigation to find out the details. Anyway, judging from Si Tiantian's condition, her terminal illness is caused by external evil, not her own problems."
"Also...Si Tiantian is destined to have siblings."
The two old men looked at each other.
Mr. Xiao guessed: "Could it be that Tiantian's father has an illegitimate child outside?"
"That's impossible. If it really happened, the Si family would definitely be overjoyed to bring the person back."
Chen Wan put the prepared things in the bag and said, "Take Xiao Rui with you and go to the hospital again."
Mr. Xiao thought about the red embroidered shoes and hesitated to speak.
Chen Wan saw through his thoughts and said directly: "Those shoes are for Xiao Rui. To untie the bell, we must go to see the Si family again."
Old Xiao nodded with a smile: "Xiao Wan, Grandpa believes in you."
This time, Chen Wan didn't bring him with her, but took Xiao Rui and Qi Chong to the hospital.
Unlike the first time she came to the ward, the second time she came in she smelled a sweet and sticky smell of blood, so fishy that it was nauseating.
"Aunt, will Tiantian really get better?" Xiao Rui tilted his head and said cutely, "She is my best friend. I hope she gets better."
Shen Wan rubbed his head and said, "Yes."
Three people entered the ward.
Mother Si was not there, only Grandma Tiantian was sitting in front of the bed peeling an apple.
Shen Wan's eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around her fingers.
Tiantian's grandmother saw Xiao Rui and smiled happily, "Ruirui? Why are you here? Are you here to see Tiantian?"
Xiao Rui nodded obediently.
Seeing that Xiao Rui liked it very much, Grandma Tiantian forked a slice of apple and gave it to him. "The apples were just airlifted in today. They are crispy and sweet. Try them."
Xiao Rui shook his head politely: "Thank you, grandma, but I don't like apples."
"Oh, you are such a good kid. What do you like to eat? Grandma will cut it for you."
Grandma Tiantian picked up the other fruits in the fruit plate with a smile on her face.
"Grandma, this is my cousin, she came here specially to rescue Tiantian~" Xiao Rui took Shen Wan's hand and introduced her.
Grandma Tiantian then noticed Shen Wan and looked her up and down with an arrogant look, "Are you the Master Shen who can bring the dead back to life as rumored?"
"You are so young, are you kidding me?"
Qi Chong said with a smile: "Grandma Tiantian, you will know if it is a bluff or not once you check it out."
Grandma Tiantian snorted softly: "I have seen many charlatans like you who cheat people under the guise of metaphysics. If it weren't for my daughter-in-law, I would have kicked you out long ago."
"Remember, when my daughter-in-law comes, talk to her properly. Don't let her be heartbroken because the child cannot be cured. Our Si family can no longer bear this kind of blow!"
Shen Wan smiled faintly: "I haven't even started yet, how do you know it can't be cured?"
Grandma Tiantian glanced at her, ignored her, and turned to Xiao Rui.
"Good boy, come here and let grandma take a look. Why is your face so thin? Did you not eat enough at the Xiao family?"
"Come to Grandma's house more often in the future, and she will make delicious food for you!"
Xiao Rui also noticed her excessive enthusiasm. He stepped back uneasily and smiled awkwardly.
Qi Chong also noticed something was wrong and kept blinking at Chen Wan.
Shen Wan's gaze remained on Si Tiantian.
Si Tiantian was still sleeping, but the black gas sticking to her body had grown a lot bigger.
Her eyes turned and fell on Grandma Tiantian's bandaged fingers.
Grandma Tiantian noticed her gaze and, slightly awkwardly, put her other hand over to cover her injured finger.
"I haven't peeled an apple for a long time. I accidentally cut my finger just now. This kind of thing has to be done by the servants."
"Master Shen, you're here?" When Mrs. Si came in and saw Shen Wan, her eyes lit up a little.
Seeing that she looked tired and sick, Shen Wan asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you need me to check on you?"
Mother Si waved her hand and said, "Thank you Master Shen for your concern. I am just a little tired from taking care of Tiantian these days. I caught a cold, so I have a slight cold. It's okay. I have taken medicine several times. I feel much better today."
Grandma Tiantian interrupted, "So I asked you to go home and rest. Just leave this to professional care. My daughter-in-law, please don't fall down again."
Si's mother smiled and said, "Mom, I know you care about my health, but at a time like this I just want to be with Tiantian."
"Master Shen, I have already informed the hospital. When will you start? Is there anything I can do?"
Shen Wan nodded towards Qi Chong.
Qi Chong understood and closed the door of the ward, standing there like a door god.
Grandma Tiantian frowned: "Why are you closing the door? I'm warning you, don't do anything weird to my granddaughter."
I saw Shen Wan take out a yellow talisman from his bag.
Grandma Tiantian yelled angrily: "Daughter-in-law, look at what I said, she is a charlatan! Is she going to make some magic water and let my granddaughter drink it, and the disease will be cured?"
"No one would believe this! Haven't you read the news? This kind of talisman paper contains mercury, lead and other harmful substances. Drinking it will endanger your life!"
She shouted and rushed over to stop it.
Shen Wan kicked her directly and knocked her to the ground.
"Murder, murder!" Grandma Tiantian shouted excitedly.
Mother Si hurried to help her mother-in-law, "Mom, let Master Shen try! Let's not make trouble, okay?"
Tiantian's grandmother said angrily: "I am doing this for Tiantian's sake! How dare you let her drink this dirty stuff that has unknown origins?"
Chen Wan looked at her sharply with a gaze like lightning: "Who said that the talisman paper should be drunk by Tiantian?"
"This is used to suppress the evil in her body."
Hearing the word "evil creature", Grandma Tiantian's reaction became even more intense, "None of your business is my family's business, get out, get out!"
"Daughter-in-law, didn't you hear me? You don't even listen to me, your mother-in-law, right? Get her out!"
Mother Si gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I can obey you at any time. Since this concerns Tiantian's life, I must take a gamble."
Qi Chong said quietly, "Old lady, why are you trying to stop my eldest brother from saving people? Are you feeling guilty?"
