Chapter 199: Rootless Water_1

Yingbao asked the mistress of the house to bring an oil lamp, and then she pulled back the sick woman's blanket.

A strong, overpowering smell of blood hit her, causing several people to step back.

The woman choked out, "Miss, to be honest, my daughter was poisoned, she accidentally took abortion medicine. Since then, she's become like this... I don't know what to do anymore."

She had previously invited several midwives over to examine her, but none could do anything. Now, her daughter couldn't even get out of bed.

"Accidentally took abortion medicine?" Yingbao questioned.

The woman replied: "Yes, that is what the doctor said."

Her daughter, Dongmei, was once married to Li Xing who lived in Willow Branch Lane. She became pregnant a year later, but unexpectedly miscarried after five months. Li Xing then handed her a divorce letter and drove her out, proclaiming that his family, having produced only males for two generations, could not tolerate a woman who didn't give birth.
