The wealthy man who wears books

For a while, there was no sound in the living room, only the copper stove on the fire in the center of the hall was still steaming, and the air had begun to smell of ginseng tea.

He Yiru stared at Zhong Xin's face, it was a handsome and indifferent face of a young man, and there seemed to be a mocking and cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, but in her eyes, this face seemed to be slowing down. Slowly changing until it became the face of that timid boy more than ten years ago.

Zhong Xin looked at her eyes with hatred hidden in astonishment, not only did not avoid, but bowed towards He Yiru.

"Ma'am, at this time, the tea is getting more flavorful, and the ginseng is also boiling to dissipate its potency. If you want to make a good cup of ginseng tea, you need to boil it for a while. Why don't I use these things that my wife and everyone are bothered by to borrow It’s good to talk about it.”

He Yiru has been fighting in the Zhong family for all these years, how could she not see the momentum that Zhong Xin wants to show up now.

It's just that I had exhausted all my tricks, but let this man who was supposed to die take the lead. Seeing that the opponent was approaching the city with his arrows on the line, I could only passively fight.

She took a deep breath, her heart skipped a beat, and she sneered.

"Thinking about you, you have kept a lot of things in your heart all these years, which made you a good boy, always gloomy every day. Today is a rare opportunity. If you want to say something, just say it."

Zhong Xin stood up straight and nodded slightly.

"My wife must want to know the most now, why my elder brother drank the ginseng tea that I had brewed for more than ten years, but he became more and more nourishing and debilitating, and he was inhumane. Maybe I already suspected that Lao Qi must have put something in that tea to harm people. something, isn't it?"

He Yiru snorted coldly, and said: "At this time, why do you need to cover up again? When the boss was alive, everyone bullied and abused you, and everyone in the Zhong family knew about it. You naturally have feelings for him." Resentment, tampering with this ginseng tea, even poisoning, I'm afraid it's unknown. Anyway, the boss is dead, and no one pursues these things, so you can just tell the truth now."

Saying these few words seems to be very humane, but if you take them seriously, you will swallow the hook thrown by He Yiru and admit that you have poisoned Zhong Ren once.

Zhong Xin shook his head, he didn't go into the trap thrown by He Yiru at all, and only smiled lightly:

"Madam, you can rest assured that although Lao Qi has been bullied by the eldest brother as you said, but as a man of the eldest family, I have the teachings of my wife, but I will never do it directly like some people. It’s a stupid thing to do that kind of direct poisoning. And the ginseng I use in this ginseng tea is all the top-grade ginseng carefully selected by my elder brother. But when Big Brother Piansheng drank it, not only did he not nourish his body, but as Lao Qi wished, it emptied Big Brother's entire body!"

When everyone heard his words that he neither admitted to harming Zhong Ren, but also pointed out that he had cheated him, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help falling on the pale face of He Yiru.

Zhong Xin shut his mouth, but suddenly saluted He Yiru.

"It's just the mystery of getting better and worse. Now, Lao Qi, I really want to thank you, madam. I think that when my birth mother gave birth to me, although I was a little mentally ill after giving birth, it was far from that madness. But Later, the wife was so considerate that she specially asked someone to stew good medicine for pregnant women to enrich the blood. My biological mother drank it for seven days, and her energy and blood were abundant and extremely strong. Being so considerate, he is worthy of being the most virtuous person in the Zhong family..."

When he said this, Mo Wanzhen snorted from the side, as if mocking the word "virtuous".

He Yiru's complexion became paler and paler, and the silk handkerchief in his hand trembled uncontrollably, but Zhong Xin said again:

"As a result, within these seven days, although my birth mother's vital energy and blood were strong, but for some reason, she was also extremely hyperactive mentally. When exaggerating, she stayed up all night and danced. On the seventh day, she suddenly suffered from blood collapse. , and started talking nonsense in his mouth, facing the bloody bed, completely lost his mind, and almost threw me to the ground, this time, he was completely crazy."

Having said this, Zhong Xin paused for a moment, and Qin Huai who was opposite him bit his lower lip tightly, seeing the suppressed anger in his eyes.

"After I said this, some people may not understand it, but my wife must know why my biological mother, who obviously took the tonic that strengthens blood and nourishes qi, ended up becoming a mad woman suffering from blood avalanche. It is because of this tonic. Here, there is the real reason why my wife wants her crazy!"

He Yiru suddenly raised his head, and said in a sharp voice: "Old Qi, what are you talking about, you were just a newborn baby at that time, how could you know these old things, it's just your own random guesswork Your biological mother, as a foot-washing maid, seduced the master and gave birth to you. Not only did I not punish her, but I also took care of her postpartum body in every possible way. As for why she got that madness, how did I know? Instead, it became mine, Lao Qi, I will raise you for a while, do you still have a little bit of conscience?"

Hearing He Yiru's words, Zhong Xin looked at her silently for a while, then shook his head.

"Lao Qi and his wife really dare not say the word conscience. My wife said that I was young at the time and didn't remember the world, but you should know that there is a saying in this world. If people don't know it, they must do it already. Even if I don't remember it, there are always people who remember it. From birth to now, when Lao Qi was in the big house, he was either sick or injured, and suffered all kinds of sufferings one after another. Therefore, he saw the doctor the most and knew us the most. The old Zhongtang Mr. Lin who passed away in the mansion, if you want to come to my wife, you should not forget him, right?"

When He Yiru heard the three words of Mr. Lin, his expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice;

"That was the private doctor of the Zhong family. I remember it, but he has been dead for more than a few years, but he is still mentioned."

Zhong Xin turned around and glanced at the second wife, Mo Wanzhen, who was on the side, and suddenly smiled and said: "Er Niang, do you still remember Mr. Lin's appearance? It's just that tall, thin, fair-skinned, walking and talking like Mr. Lin." Brother's."

Mo Wanzhen originally resented and hated Zhong Xin because of Zhong Yi and Zhong Xiu's incident, but at this time, hearing his words seemed to imply the eldest wife's hidden feelings, but her eyes lit up, and she half covered her mouth with a handkerchief, so Surprised, Tsukuru said:

"Don't tell me, I have to forget. Dr. Lin has been in Zhong Ren's house for quite some years, and he has never been married. I remember when you said it. He was the most considerate and caring of Zhong Ren back then, and he often coaxed him. Watching him play, the two of them really look alike, but then Mr. Lin suddenly got an emergency and died, and we all felt very strange about the situation at that time."

Zhong Xin nodded to Mo Wanzhen, then looked around at the people in the hall, and said quietly:

"Having said so much, Lao Qi now doesn't want to lay an ambush anymore. Since my wife talked about conscience, I also talked about conscience with my wife. The doctor Lin I mentioned just now, because he was never married, was always in the house. In the old days, I was often the only sick boy by his side, to be his helper, and as time went by, he took me, a quiet kid, as the object of his confidance."

"Because this Lin Xing likes to drink away his sorrows most in his life, so after a big drunk, he dragged me to say some private words. It is today, and Lao Qi still remembers the most important sentence, that is, in his life, She was originally innocent, but because she was seduced, she was ruined by a woman in the Zhong family. She helped her give birth to a son who could gain a firm foothold in a wealthy family, and she was willing to be controlled by her because she missed her son. He did a lot of unconscionable things.”

When he said this, he sniffed the air lightly, and said in a low voice:

"The ginseng tea has finally been stewed to a high temperature. If the eldest brother is still alive and drinks a cup while it is hot, the effect will be about the same as that of my mother's blood-nourishing tonic. It is clearly for the body, but it is actually harmful Ma'am, Lao Qi learned the unique mysteries of these supplements from Mr. Lin."

He poured out a cup of ginseng tea from the pot, and gave it to He Yiru first.He Yiru took the cup with a trembling corner of his mouth, without saying a word.

Zhong Xin looked at her hand holding the tea, and said in a deep voice:

"When Mr. Lin was very drunk, he once held my hand and said that he had been used by that woman to prepare a tonic for pregnant women who had just given birth. It also has a Bodhisattva-like appearance, but in fact, it has strong and powerful medicinal properties, and it is as dangerous as a tiger and wolf to a pregnant woman. If you eat it for a few days, you will definitely hurt your soul and eat your bones, and you will die or go crazy!"

When Zhong Xin said this, everyone on the side couldn't help but gasped, as if they understood a little bit.

Zhong Xin looked at the teacup in He Yiru's hand, but he still didn't move at all.

"At that scene, Mr. Lin grabbed my hand, and faced me with an inexplicable face like that of his elder brother. His eyes seemed to be full of guilt. He naturally knew why I, a child who had been bullied by others, had She's a crazy girl. It's just that he only occasionally tells me these secrets when he's drunk, and from the beginning to the end, he never revealed who the woman with whom he had a child was. Which wife of the Zhong family..."

When Zhong Xin said this, He Yiru seemed to lower his head slightly, glanced at the ginseng tea in his hand, and suddenly said:

"I have something to ask you. You just said that when you cooked ginseng tea for Zhong Ren, you learned the skill of restraining the body and hurting the body. Did you not learn from that Doctor Lin?"

Zhong Xin looked at her with a slightly suspicious face, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My wife is right. This skill was taught to me by Mr. Lin. His strength in life is the mutual generation and restraint between medicines. How to make the ginseng tea look mild and nourishing, but in fact it hurts the kidneys and kills sperm. It turns out that it is him." Don’t you know what your wife is best at?”

He Yiru's face instantly turned ashen, she shook her head and said:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could he do something that would hurt his son... Hurt Zhong Ren!"

There was a sneer on Zhong Xin's lips, and a sly gleam appeared in his eyes.

"What my wife said is very true. Mr. Lin would rather be under the control of that poisonous woman all his life for the sake of that illegitimate son, so how could he harm his son. It's just that when he is facing me, an innocent , Lonely child, ask him in different ways, what medicinal materials are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, how will he know that when he passed away a few years later, Lao Qi has become the one who was his son. What about the servant who stews tea every day!"

After Zhong Xin finished speaking, he saw that the teacup in He Yiru's hand was already shaking non-stop, so he said quietly again:

"So, Ma'am, you can see how mysterious things in this world must be. Mr. Lin often lamented that he misprepared the prescription when he was drunk, which harmed the postpartum pregnant woman. Health, to pay for this sin, the so-called reincarnation of the law of heaven, isn't it true?"

With a crisp "click", the tea bowl in He Yiru's hand fell to pieces on the ground.
