She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 36 Taking refuge
Doctor Fang picked up the medicine bowl, put it under his nose, smelled it, and frowned.
"Doctor Fang, what...what happened?" Aunt Tong was made even more nervous by his actions. "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"
Li Jingwan also asked, "Doctor Fang, what's going on?"
Doctor Fang put down the medicine bowl and said, "The medicine smells a bit strange. I'm not sure if there are any dregs or unboiled herbs left?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Lian'er answered first, "I still have several sets of tonic medicine."
Doctor Fang then said, "Little girl, bring over the dregs of the medicine you boiled today and the remaining tonic medicine."
Then he asked Aunt Tong, "What is this medicine used for?"
"To take care of my body." Aunt Tong said, "I have never gotten pregnant, so I asked the gynecologist in the capital to prescribe this tonic."
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked again, "Doctor Fang, is there something wrong with the medicine?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. I just have a suspicion. I can only be sure after I look at the medicinal residue and the medicinal materials."
As he was talking, Lian'er had already run in with the medicine jar and the remaining herbs that had not been boiled. She put everything on the table and said, "Doctor Fang, I have brought everything."
Doctor Fang then took out some medicine residue from the medicine jar and spread it on the table, then opened the medicine package and checked the ingredients.
Aunt Tong was so nervous that she clutched her handkerchief tightly, eager to get the details.
After looking for a while, he picked up a piece of medicinal herb with a serious expression.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Thunder God Vine, which is extremely cold and can cause cold uterus in women. If taken for a long time, it will lead to infertility."
"The coldness in Auntie's body should be caused by drinking medicine containing Tripterygium wilfordii."
Aunt Tong's face turned pale instantly. Although she was sitting on a stool, her body swayed and she leaned backwards.
"Aunt, be careful."
Fortunately, Lian'er was right beside her and caught her in time so she didn't fall.
"Doctor Fang, are you sure?" Li Jingwan's face darkened. "This is the tonic that Aunt Tong has been drinking. Don't talk nonsense."
"Madam, I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I am sure I am correct." Doctor Fang pointed at the medicine bowl, "Tripterygium wilfordii has a special feature. The smell it produces after being boiled is very special, so I became suspicious when I smelled it just now."
"I have found Tripterygium wilfordii in both the medicine residue and the medicine package, so I dare to say this. If Madam doesn't believe me, you can take the medicine to other doctors for verification."
"Impossible." Aunt Tong didn't believe it. "This is the tonic given to me by the old lady. She can't possibly harm me. No..."
"Aunt Tong, be careful with your words." Li Jingwan stopped her and looked at Doctor Fang, "Doctor Fang, just pretend you don't know what happened just now, and please don't tell anyone else. Don't worry, the reward will not be less."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I don't know anything."
Li Jingwan nodded with satisfaction, "Cui Yu, Lian Er, send Doctor Fang off for me."
There were only two of them in the room.
Aunt Tong was still in shock and panic. If what Doctor Fang said was true, why did Madam Qin want to harm her?
"Aunt Tong, you..." Li Jingwan said carefully, "Have you... ever offended the old lady?"
"No, Madam, I haven't." She shook her head repeatedly, "I have always served the old lady wholeheartedly and have never offended her."
"But the tonic was specially given to you by the old lady." Li Jingwan slowly planted the seeds of doubt in her heart.
"Even if I judge you by my own standards, if there is no grudge between you two, is the old lady doing this because she is worried that you will stop listening to her after you get pregnant?"
Aunt Tong's eyes suddenly widened.
Although Li Jingwan's words were heartbreaking, they were not without reason.
She had served Madam Qin for many years and knew that she was not as kind and indifferent as she seemed. In fact, she had a strong desire for control and wanted to control every aspect of the mansion.
So Old Madam Qin asked her to be Qin Changzhou's concubine so that she could monitor every move in the backyard, especially Li Jingwan.
As long as I don't have a child, I can only rely on Old Madam Qin and obey her orders.
Li Jingwan saw her expression change several times and knew that her words had worked.
But she stopped there and didn't say more.
"This is just Doctor Fang's guess. He might be wrong. I'll think about how to deal with this. Don't make this public. You should take a rest first."
After saying this, Li Jingwan left, leaving Aunt Tong sitting alone.
Suddenly, she reached out and pushed the medicine bowl to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, accompanied by her cry, "Lian'er!"
Lian'er, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in tremblingly, "Aunt, is there anything...any instructions?"
Aunt Tong looked gloomy, "Go and help me with something."

In the afternoon, when Li Jingwan was looking at the account book, Cuiyu stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, Lian'er said that Aunt Tong has been smashing things in the bedroom for a long time."
"The results are out?" She didn't even raise her head.
Not long after she left Yuzhuyuan at noon, Lian'er quietly left the house.
It's no wonder that he must have taken the tonic to the pharmacy outside to confirm whether it was as Doctor Fang said.
"Yes." Cuiyu said, "Lian'er told me that all tonics contain Tripterygium wilfordii."
Confirming Doctor Fang's words, Aunt Tong dared not speak out or confront Old Madam Qin. She could only smash things in her room.
"Tell others not to come here to serve, Aunt Tong is coming." Li Jingwan closed the account book with a smile on her lips.
She was supposed to drink these medicines containing thunder god vine, but they were given to Aunt Tong instead.
But Aunt Tong discovered it early and was able to stop the loss in time, but in her previous life, she learned the truth before she died, and her body had already been devastated.
The blow that Aunt Tong suffered at this time was far less than the pain she had suffered at that time.
As Li Jingwan expected, Aunt Tong arrived in less than a cup of tea.
As soon as she came in, she knelt at Li Jingwan's feet and cried, "Madam, please save me."
"I have no place to stay in this mansion, so I have no choice but to rely on you."
Madam Qin was just using her. Not only did she not seek benefits for her, she even poisoned her in order to control her.
She couldn't compete with the other concubines for favor, and she had no family members to rely on.
Now, only by relying on Li Jingwan can she live well in the mansion.
"Aunt Tong, what are you talking about?" Li Jingwan laughed, "Old Madam Qin is your biggest supporter. I am just a mistress without any children and not favored by my husband."
"No, Madam..." Aunt Tong raised her head, her face full of tears, "I was blind before, and you are my support in the mansion. From now on, I will follow your lead."
"Aunt Tong, you flatter me." Li Jingwan's voice was a little colder. "You are the old lady's person, how dare I order you around? I know you have been stimulated today and are very emotional. Go back and rest first."
This is clearly an order to expel the guest.
"Madam, I really want to take refuge with you." Aunt Tong knew it wasn't that easy and she had to give up something, so she gritted her teeth and said it.
"Madam, the old lady asked me to be the Marquis's concubine mainly to let me monitor you and report your every move at any time, especially to pay attention to whether you have contact with people outside the mansion."
