Chapter 0003, Poison
"Miss!" Mrs. Yuan called out worriedly, seeing that Yun Jinnian remained silent, she called again, "Miss, please drink your medicine first!"
Drink medicine?
Yun Jinnian suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the medicine bowl on the table not far away.
Why did she need to take medicine?
"Nurse!"
"What can I do for you, Miss?"
"Nurse, I..." Yun Jinnian didn't know how to explain.
Her mind was a mess.
But, Yun Jinnian still knew that she could trust her nurse.
After taking a few deep breaths, "Nurse, why do I need to take medicine?"
"Don't you remember, Miss? A few days ago, you and your cousin were playing by the Lotus Pond, and you accidentally fell into it!"
Fell into the Lotus Pond?
Wasn't that the incident from the winter when she was ten years old?
Ten years old? Ten years old?
Tianchu Country, the fifteenth year of Yuanhe winter!
Had those events actually happened? Did God pity her and allow her to return to her ten-year-old self? Or was it a dream, serving as a warning?
If she were again so feeble and incompetent, her own flesh and blood devouring her would be her fate?
"No, no!" Yun Jinnian suddenly felt a surge of madness.
She grabbed her hair and shook her head continuously.
No, she didn't want such a tragic life, unable to protect herself or her son.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare your nurse, tell me what's happening. I will definitely help you!" Mrs. Yuan held Yun Jinnian's hand tightly.
But Yun Jinnian suddenly started crying, frightening her nurse who quickly let go of her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Yun Jinnian hugged her nurse's waist tightly, "Nurse, you can't help me, you can't help me!"
In that dream, the nurse had followed her to marry into the residence of the Fifth Prince and also entered the palace with her, watched her become the Empress, helped her give birth to Momo, and eventually was killed by Zhu Yan.
She was steamed alive.
When the nurse died, she was right there watching, completely powerless.
"Even if the nurse can't help Miss, the nurse will still stay by Miss's side!" Mrs. Yuan also started to cry.
The second lady of the house was hands-off, almost not caring about the Miss, and so was the second master. It was as if he didn't see the Miss at all.
Not to mention the old lady.
Despite being the legitimate eldest daughter of the house's second branch, she was treated even worse than a by-blow daughter of the main branch, let alone her cousin who was staying with the Yun Family.
Upon hearing these words, Yun Jinnian slowly raised her head, looked at Mrs. Yuan, snorted through her nose, and managed a bitter smile before taking a handkerchief to wipe her tears. After a while, she finally said, "Nurse, bring me the medicine, please!"
"Alright!"
The nurse carried the medicine over to Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian looked at the medicine bowl, sniffed the aroma from within, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them again, her eyes turning cold.
"Nurse, quietly pour this medicine away, and make sure no one finds out!"
If everything in that dream was a part of her past life, she would have been foolish not to realize that this bowl of medicine contained poison that would make bearing children difficult.
It was also lucky that after marrying Chu Liange, he knew she had a Divine Doctor as her maternal grandfather and encouraged her to study medicine. Various Medical Books, he wanted her to memorize them, and then he painstakingly invited her grandfather to the Capital City to teach her medical skills, otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized the poison in this medicine.
Indeed, it was ruthless.
But who could be so heartless?
No matter who it was, she must uncover them!
Mrs. Yuan nodded and quietly disposed of the medicine without asking why.
Yun Jinnian slowly lay down but quickly fell into a nightmare.
In the dream, it was a bloody mess; Momo was tearing at her flesh, chewing greedily.
Then he suddenly started laughing.
"Ah…" Yun Jinnian screamed, sitting up.
Mrs. Yuan immediately approached, "Miss, Miss, did you have a nightmare?"
"Nurse, I'm thirsty, give me a glass of water and it's also very cold in the room, light some charcoal fire for me!"
