Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 364 Ms. Tian And Her Son

The narrow and dim room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. Something must have been burnt here, and something smelt rotten.

Back in the old days in the mansion, Ms. Tian was known to be a clean and tidy woman.

Now she ended up in such a place because of her connection with Lin Mengya and her brother.

Lin Mengya had made up her mind that she would take Ms. Tian away with her, at any cost.

“I want nothing but for you and your brother to be well. I’m too old to ask for much. The mansion is not a place for us to talk. I’m glad you’ve been cured, but I’m also worried about the hardships you’ll have to suffer in the future.”

Ms. Tian kept wiping away her tears. She had been living a very hard life with her son, after her husband passed away.

They would have died, if not for the help of Lin Mengya’s mother.

She was so glad to see that Lin Mengya had grown healthier and more beautiful than ever. The young woman’s life was better in her new home.

She felt less worried now.

She believed that God was watching over this world, and would reward Lin Mengya’s mother and all the other kind people.

“We’ve got too much to talk about, which I don’t think we can finish at this moment. My father, brother, you and Tian Ning are my family now. I’ve settled down in my new home now, and I think it’s time for you to enjoy your life. I’ll bring you with me, and find the best doctor in Dajin to cure Tian Ning.

Ms. Tian shook her head. Her exhausted eyes seemed determined.

“That won’t work. Your new home is no ordinary family home. Baizhi was able to go there with you because she was your maid. I’m too old to be there with you. An old woman and an invalid will be too much trouble for you.”

Lin Mengya was upset. Her heart ached when she realized that those who really cared about her, were always trying their best to avoid bringing trouble to her. Those who wanted to benefit from her, were all those whom she had hated, since she was a kid.

After some more persuasion, Ms. Tian still did not agree. Lin Mengya did not want to push her.

She changed the subject and made up her mind that she would relieve Ms. Tian’s hardship.

“What kind of sickness does he have? “I want to check on him. I’m a doctor now. I don’t want to leave him here to suffer. That’s the least I can do for you.”

When she heard that Lin Mengya was learning medical skills now, Ms. Tian suddenly seemed restless.

She was about to say something, when they were interrupted by an intense coughing coming from the room.

The man’s cough sounded low and hoarse sound, and it seemed that he was in pain.

Lin Mengya followed the voice and walked over. When she lifted the curtain of the white-washed door, a bad smell drifted into her nose.

“Brother Tian, are you alright?”

Lin Mengya had not seen him for a very long time, but the good impression he left on her would not be changed so easily through time.

Lin Mengya’s soul had been replaced, which helped her to review all the old memories she had. from an outsider’s point of view.

She could see things more clearly now. Many people had crossed paths with Lin Mengya before. Some of them were honest, and some hypocritical. Now she could see through all those people.

Ms. Tian had passed her integrity to her son. He regarded Lin Mengya as his sister, because they were brought up by the same “mother”.

Lin Mengya could not possibly leave them behind, especially when he was so sick.

He tried not to cough as Lin Mengya came closer to him.

Some liquid was boiling in a black jar on the stove.

The stove was used to keep the medicine warm, as well as the room, because they did not have enough wood.

Lying on the tattered quilt on the bed, a skinny young man was gasping for breath.

His hand which reached out to the bedside, was very skeletal.

His breath sounded like a broken air bellow, which was the only indication that he was alive, otherwise Lin Mengya would have doubted if he was still living.

“You... cough... are you Ya’er?”

His breathing came in gasps, as if it could stop at any second.

Lin Mengya walked closer and pulled aside the curtain over the bed. A pale and boney face was revealed, from which two tired eyes opened, and looked at Lin Mengya in surprise.

“Brother Tian, it’s me, Ya’er. Remember?”

The memories flooded nonstop into Lin Mengya’s mind.

The man was not as brave as her brother. He was a simple and honest guy.

The disease racked the body of the once beautiful boy, making him skinny like a mere bag of bones. He used to be powerful enough to lift Lin Mengya to a tree to catch cicadas, now he was so weak. Lin Mengya was afraid that death would take him away any time soon.

“I... I heard what you said to my mother. She is so lucky to have you... Just leave me here... take my mother and go!”

The short sentence almost exhausted him.

He was struggling. Lin Mengya thought he wanted to sit up, so she reached out to support him, only to be stopped by him.

“Just go... go...”

His face turned red as he was trying to sit up. Lin Mengya now felt confused.

She already felt confused by what he said, as she came in just now.

He was talking as if it were his last words.

“Sit still. I’ll bring both of you with me and find you the best doctors. You’ll be cured. Don’t worry. I’m not who I was. You just need to trust me.”

Tian Ning’s face was still red. His intense emotion made him gasp as if he was suffocating.

“Just go... Ya’er... take my mom and leave...”

Tian Ning was trying to finish the sentence, but he failed and fell back on the bed.

Lin Mengya did not rush to check on him. She walked out of the room instantly.

There were only Baizhi and Ms. Tian in the room. Steward Deng was with them earlier, but he was missing now.

“Get in the room. Something is not right here. Where’s Steward Deng?”

Baizhi was catching up with Ms. Tian. As soon as she heard what Lin Mengya said, she supported Ms. Tian and walked into the inner room.

Having been with Lin Mengya for so many years, Baizhi understood her perfectly, and instantly obeyed her.

Ms. Tian was so worried when she saw that her son was not moving at all.

Lin Mengya was being very cautious. She wrapped the handle of the boiling jar with a piece of rag, and then she took it off the stove.

“Ya’er, what are you...”

Ms. Tian relaxed when she saw that her son was in a coma, instead of being dead.

She was confused seeing Lin Mengya standing so discreetly in front of them.

The scary mark had disappeared from Lin Mengya’s face, but the ruthlessness radiating out of the beautiful eyes made Ms. Tian tense.

“Did anyone else come to visit you?”

Lin Mengya lowered her voice and asked. Ms. Tian thought about it and shook her head.

“Nobody has been here. We’re new here, so we have not made friends with the other people yet. Ya’er, what is going on?”

Tian Ning’s reaction was very strange, indeed. Lin Mengya was sure that Steward Deng left because he had seen someone suspicious.

Otherwise, Steward Deng would never leave her and Baizhi behind to chase after someone else.

He might have seen more than one person.

As time passed by, Lin Mengya managed to calm the other two people down.

They finally heard footsteps approaching.

“Hurry up! Or the troublesome steward will come back and ruin our plan!”

The man tried to lower his voice, but Lin Mengya could still tell how agitated he was.

There seemed to be more than one person.

Lin Mengya locked the door before she entered the inner house. That would hinder those intruders for a while, as they tried to come in.

“Well, it’s so quiet here. Is the sick man not sharing them with us? Let’s kick the door open and enjoy it together!”

Lin Mengya did not know what those people meant by “not sharing”.

But now she seemed to have understand why Tian Ning was so adamant that she take Ms. Tian away.

Lin Mengya felt tense, but she was no longer the weak girl she used to be.

The contents in the jar was boiling hot.

The first one who rushed inside would suffer the most!

Lin Mengya was amazed by how calm Baizhi was, after all that she had been through with her.

Baizhi was imitating Lin Mengya. Instead of holding a jar, she clipped a large chunk of burning coal out of the stove.

Lin Mengya could not help giving her a thumbs up sign. The two people’s excitement suppressed their fears.

Whoever was outside the door would have a life-long memory of these “gifts”.

The shaky door was kicked open.

Lin Mengya lifted the jar lid and threw the contents out.

“Ah...!”

The boiling soup and medicine residue splashed all over a big and tall man.

This was just the beginning!

Lin Mengya threw the medicine jar next. She only heard a crashing sound and did not know whose hapless head it had landed on.

The hot and hard surface of the jar was like a disaster flying toward the two sneaky men.

It was not over yet.

Baizhi took the opportunity and threw the burning coal as hard as she could.

That was one large chunk of burning coal. A single spark would cause large blisters.
