Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

427: Poisonous Oath (5 more

Because of Xie Zhinuan’s massage, the child’s suffering gradually lessened, and the woman’s eyes reddened.

Xie Zhinuan then examined the body again.

“Was he born prematurely? And you were poisoned before, which harmed your body, and the poison has now affected the child!”

Upon hearing this, the woman weakly knelt down, “Miss, please…”

“You are asking me?”

Xie Zhinuan was somewhat surprised and also a bit stunned.

She did not help the woman up but instead finished fastening the child’s clothing.

She knew that if the child didn’t get a medicine pill, a Detoxification Pill, his life wouldn’t last long.

But…

“You still refuse to speak?” Xie Zhinuan asked softly.@@novelbin@@

The woman looked up in shock.

Looking at Xie Zhinuan, her expression filled with shock, disbelief, and panic.

She stepped forward to embrace the child, “I, I…”

“You can’t leave!” Xie Zhinuan spoke up.

Silly girl had already gone to close the door.

Xie Zhinuan looked at her calmly, “Last night, the person who snuck into the Xie Mansion was you, the one who tried to assassinate me, who is he to you?”

“…”

The woman’s mouth opened.

Tears streamed down her face, “He, he…”

“He won’t be coming back, you don’t need to wait for him, if you want his body…”

“…”

The woman shook her head.

Not daring to believe.

Without her husband, what would happen to her child?

“I killed your husband, and now I can also save your son, tell me, if you were in my place, what would you do?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

The woman’s eyes widened.

Embracing the child, she softly knelt down, “We were truly desperate, without any other options, if not for the sake of the child, he wouldn’t have taken the Liang Family’s business, Miss, Miss, I beg you…”

“Every person has their own helplessness, you and I both, between us there was never any connection, no hatred, I haven’t desecrated your ancestral graves, nor killed your parents, even if we passed each other on the street, we would just be strangers. He came to kill me, and I retaliated to protect myself, I couldn’t control it, I killed him…” Xie Zhinuan said softly.

The woman broke into tears.

She had already understood that her husband was not coming back.

“I beg you to save my child, as long as you save him, I will take him and leave immediately once he is well, never to mention this matter for all eternity!”

The woman hugged her child and bowed deeply to the ground.

Xie Zhinuan felt guilty.

No matter the reason, she had killed someone’s husband, someone’s father.

This child.

“Get up, I will get the medicine!”

Silly girl grabbed Xie Zhinuan’s arm, “Miss, think this over thrice!”

Looking at Silly girl, Xie Zhinuan took a deep breath, “Silly girl, killing is not my desire, I am full of guilt, if I don’t save this child, I will feel even more guilt, I might never sleep peacefully again in my life, his father I killed, I can say it was self-defense, morally I did no wrong, but him, if I don’t save him, it would be to ignore a life in peril, then what’s the point of my medical practice?”

A healer does not have the privilege to choose their patients.

As long as there is a patient, whether they are a commoner or a high official, in the healer’s eyes, they are just patients.

This child, setting aside past grievances, is also just a patient.

It’s just that the required medicine is quite precious.

There are countless pills in that space, taking one out is nothing.

Gently taking Silly girl’s hand, Xie Zhinuan went into the inner chamber.

Silly girl looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and warned fiercely, “You’d better remember your words today, if you do not teach your son well in the future, don’t blame me for pursuing you to the ends of the earth to kill you!”

The woman was already weeping bitterly.

If only she had known, she would have come directly to seek a cure, why endure the tragedy for that hundred taels of silver, resulting in such a broken home and lost lives.

“I remember today’s promise, if I break this oath, may my husband find no peace in the underworld, may my child not meet a good end, may I be reborn into the animal realm in every lifetime!”
