Chapter 165 He is a pitiful person
Lin looked at the dagger with a hint of madness in her eyes.
She slowly revealed her other arm and, without hesitation, slashed it with a dagger.
Fresh blood instantly flowed from the wound and dripped onto the bed.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Lin was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see Xie Yanzhi had returned at some point and was looking at her with icy eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Qingnian, Aunt Su, and Doctor Zhou also came in.
Xie Yanzhi quickly walked to Lin's side and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Second Aunt! What are you doing!"
"Yan-ge'er, let me go!" Madam Lin struggled to break free from Xie Yanzhi's grasp, her eyes filled with urgency.
"As long as Second Master drinks my blood, he won't die! I can save him, I definitely can save him!"
It turns out that Xie Yanzhi had not discovered anything wrong with Xie Songyi's medicine all this time.
The only solution was to have Aunt Su reduce the amount of medicine by half each time she fed it to her.
According to the dosage, Xie Songyi didn't drink a single drop of medicine today.
Unexpectedly, Xie Songyi suddenly vomited blood, and his condition appeared to be very serious.
Just now, he and Shen Qingnian deliberately tested each other and discovered that Lin knew a great deal about Xie Songyi's illness.
So he deliberately sent everyone away, leaving only Lin Shi in the house, just to see what she would do.
So he didn't go far, but stayed outside the door.
Hearing what Lin was saying inside the house, he knew that Lin had made a move, so he immediately pushed the door open and came in, just in time to see Lin cutting her own arm.
Xie Yanzhi didn't let go; instead, he gripped her hand even tighter.
He frowned as he looked at Lin's frantic state: "Why did you cut your arm?"
"My blood can save Yi Lang!" Lin cried out, her eyes fixed on Xie Songyi's face.
As she spoke, Lin tried to break free from Xie Yanzhi's hand and drip blood into Xie Songyi's mouth.
Dr. Zhou stood to the side, looking at the blood flowing from Lin's arm and the determination in her eyes, and suddenly thought of something.
He said to Xie Yanzhi, "Young Master, perhaps... perhaps the Second Madam's method is worth a try."
"I once saw a record of Miao witchcraft in a medical book. It is the same method used by the Second Madam, which uses human blood as a catalyst."
"If I'm not mistaken, Second Master has been bewitched by witchcraft."
Xie Yanzhi hesitated for a moment before releasing Lin's hand. After all, there was no other way now; he could only let Lin try.
"If you can't cure my second uncle, I'll make your entire Lin family pay with their lives!" Xie Yanzhi said in a low voice.
At this moment, Xie Songyi's face began to turn ashen, and his breathing became increasingly weak. Madam Lin knew that she could not delay any longer.
She quickly grabbed her arm and aimed it at Xie Songyi's mouth, letting the blood drip into his mouth little by little.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Xie Songyi.
Fresh blood slowly flowed into Xie Songyi's mouth from the corner of his lips, and his body twitched slightly, as if he had reacted.
His face, which had just looked ashen, was quickly regaining its vitality.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lin smiled with delight.
But the tears flowed even more freely, only this time, they were tears of joy.
"Yi Lang, can you feel it? Wake up!"
As Lin spoke, she kept dripping blood into Xie Songyi's mouth.
Shen Qingnian and Aunt Su stood aside, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Shen Qingnian now finally understands why the Second Master's medicine has a fishy smell.
The blood flowing from Lin's body also had the same foul, fishy smell.
Aunt Su found it hard to believe.
Sorcery? The Lin family actually used sorcery on the Second Master!
That Second Master's illness has always been caused by Gu poison! No wonder the doctors couldn't figure it out for so many years.
Seeing that Xie Songyi had recovered, Madam Lin withdrew her arm, took out a handkerchief, and pressed it against the wound.
"Second Aunt, is there something you forgot to tell me?"
Xie Yanzhi said coldly.
Lin glanced at Xie Songyi and then sat down opposite Xie Yanzhi.
Now that they've seen it, she has nothing left to hide.
This secret had been buried in her heart for over a decade, and today she could finally speak it out.
"Yi Lang has never liked me." Lin's voice was a little hoarse, her eyes drifting to the window, full of loneliness.
"We have been married for three years, and he has always been indifferent to me, especially after Su Wanyun entered the family. He has not even stepped into my courtyard anymore."
"The maids and servants in the mansion are all laughing at me behind my back, saying that I am not even as good as a concubine."
Lin's tears welled up again and slid down her cheeks.
"I just want him to only have eyes for me, I just want him to look at me more..." she said, her voice filled with grievance.
“I was troubled by this for a long time and couldn’t sleep at night until one day, my personal maid Hongsui came back from outside with a small celadon bottle in her hand and secretly slipped it to me.”
“She told me that the bottle contained witchcraft from her hometown of Miao, called ‘mother-child witchcraft.’ She said that as long as I planted the mother witchcraft in my body and then planted the child witchcraft in Second Master, Second Master would only think of me and would never look at any other woman again.”
Lin's tears flowed even more fiercely, her voice trembling with sobs, "Honghui also said that this Gu would not harm the body at all, I... I was bewitched at the time, so I agreed."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanzhi slammed his hand heavily on the table!
"madness!"
"Harmless to the body? How can something that can control people's minds be harmless to the body!"
Lin covered her face with her handkerchief and cried, "It's all Second Master's fault! I had already put the worm on him while he was drunk, but he suddenly woke up, grabbed the worm, and tore off part of its body."
Aunt Su suddenly remembered that the night before the Second Master became paralyzed, his complexion was very bad, and there was a small red cut on his neck.
At the time, she thought it was a mosquito bite and didn't pay much attention to it.
Only now do I realize that it was caused by insect bites!
"Afterwards, Hongsui told me that Second Master tore off the worm, and the worm would take revenge on Second Master." Lin's sobs grew softer and softer, her heart filled with regret.
So, the second master became paralyzed the next day. He could neither move his body nor speak.
Aunt Su stared wide-eyed at Madam Lin, never expecting that Madam Lin, who loved the Second Master so much, would end up harming him.
Shen Qingnian never expected that Madam Lin would be so muddle-headed.
She thought of this method to keep her husband's heart.
She even felt that Lin was also a pitiful person, a pitiful person begging her husband for a little bit of love.
Suppressing her shock, Shen Qingnian asked Madam Lin, "Where is that maid named Hongsui now? Since she knows how to use the Gu poison, she must know how to remove it!"
After hearing Shen Qingnian's words, Aunt Su and Doctor Zhou both looked at Madam Lin.
If she reveals Hong Sui's whereabouts, Second Master will be saved!
Lin shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again.
