Chapter 983: Chapter 986: What is the Purpose
Seeing Qiao Duo’er’s expression, Wang Clan couldn’t help but explain, "Many people say the master is very effective. I spent quite a bit of silver to see him, he definitely wouldn’t have said anything wrong."
He said that if Tan Zhenghong stayed with the Tan Family, the people of Tan Family would be in danger.
Qiao Duo’er looked at Tan Zhenghong with sympathy, guessing that at this moment, he must have hated the diviner to the core.
"Tan Zhenghong returned to the Tan Family when he was eight years old. If his fate were really tough, the Tan Family would have been destroyed by him long ago," Qiao Duo’er argued logically.
But everyone in the Tan Family was doing fine up until the year Tan Zhenghong got married.
After that, some people kept seeking death, but they only suffered instead of actually dying.
Wasn’t this fact enough to clarify things?
"This oleander can burden the heart, causing an accelerated heartbeat or even a sudden stop, and it can cause irreversible damage to the heart. Pregnant women who come into contact with it can even have a miscarriage."
Qiao Duo’er introduced the toxicity of oleander to Wang Clan.
Upon careful reflection, Wang Clan remembered that every time she picked the flowers, her heart would race.
Once she picked a few too many, and afterwards, she felt pain in her chest, and before long, she went into labor.
This means all the suffering she went through was because she had come into contact with oleander, yet all these years, she had been pinning the blame on Tan Zhenghong.
Oh my god, what had she done?
She had always resented Tan Zhenghong, never breastfed him, not even deigning to give him a proper look.
Later, when they took him back in, he was the one supporting the family, yet they never once showed any compassion for him.
Wang Clan looked guiltily at Fourth Boss, "I must have been cursed to have believed that master so wholeheartedly. Fourth Boss, I’ve wronged you all these years."
"Now everything’s fine, no need to talk about being wronged," said Tan Zhenghong, curling the corner of his lip. He couldn’t quite describe what he was feeling at the moment.
He felt somewhat indignant, a bit sad, but mostly, he was mocking himself.
But considering he was still alive, he again felt content.
Wang Clan took out a handkerchief to dab at the corner of her eyes, now she didn’t dare to look Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er in the eyes. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Qiao Duo cleared her throat, "I think what’s more important now is to catch the culprit. Think carefully, who have you offended?"
Wang Clan grew uneasy, and accidentally dropped her chopsticks onto the table.
She had offended many people – back when she was pregnant with Tan Zhenghong, she had quarreled with many of the villagers of Big Willow Village.
The Tan Family was very poor back then and many people looked down on her. She wasn’t one to take things lying down; any small provocation and she would argue back, sometimes even getting physical.
In summary, in her younger days, her temper was explosive.
Qiao Duo added another question, "I’m talking about déep-seated hatred, the kind where they wouldn’t be satisfied until you’re dead. Do you have any of those?"
Even the kind of foes who wouldn’t spare the child in Wang Clan’s belly.
Such deep enmity shouldn’t have been forgotten by Wang Clan.
But Wang Clan shook her head, "I’ve lived my whole life in Big Willow Village, where would I find such a big feud? All I have is a sharp tongue and a bad temper, it’s just a quarrel and then it’s over."
If she didn’t calm down after one quarrel, then she’d argue a second time. If that still didn’t work, they’d just cut ties.
Hmm... that’s why she didn’t have many people she could talk to now.
When the old ladies gathered to chat, as soon as she approached, they would conspicuously fall silent.
Qiao Duo did not doubt Wang Clan’s words; she was just an ordinary village old lady who could never get enough of quarreling over trivial matters. It didn’t seem likely that poison would ever enter the picture.
Years later, the poisonous flowers appeared again. What was the purpose?
