Chapter 1352 Who Poisoned?
Uncle Leng couldn’t believe that Mengyu would poison his son. After all, it was Mengyu who saved his wife and son in the first place.
If she wanted his son dead, she could have simply let him die without rescue. Why go to great lengths to save him only to poison him afterwards?
Moreover, she is a niece and has no conflict of interest with his son. Why would she poison him?
Uncle Leng glanced coldly at Lin Shasha: "Mengyu would never poison Zilong. If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak."
Eldest Aunt Leng also believed that Mengyu wouldn’t harm her son. She asked anxiously, "Mengyu, Aunt believes you. But can you tell what poison Zilong is suffering from? You can surely cure him, right? Please, save your cousin."
Lin Shasha stared with wide eyes: "How can you two have so much trust in this woman? Zilong drank tea from her family. If it wasn’t her who poisoned it, then who was it?"
Leng Zirong looked at his mother, then at Zilong, and finally at Mengyu, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
Mengyu felt very pleased with Uncle Leng and Eldest Aunt Leng’s trust.
She glanced at Second Aunt and said:
"Within Zilong’s body’s meridians, there is a latent toxin. This toxin would typically remain dormant until it has accumulated to a certain level. If Zilong hadn’t come today, then the toxin in his body would continue to stay dormant until the perpetrator adds enough poison to trigger it, using another toxin to bring it out and cause immediate poisoning.
Today, I added a drop of Stone Marrow to Zilong’s tea. The primary function of Stone Marrow is to transform the body of an impurity-free child and cleanse an adult’s body of impurities. But because Zilong’s meridians contain poison, Stone Marrow treated it as an impurity and expunged it, revealing the symptoms of poisoning."
Uncle Leng and Eldest Aunt Leng were shocked: "Are you saying Zilong has been poisoned for a long time?"
Mengyu nodded: "Yes, the toxin in his body didn’t form overnight. It required multiple poisonings to reach the current level. I estimate that the poison has been administered for over a month. Fortunately, today on impulse, I wanted to secretly transform Zilong’s body, so I added a drop of Stone Marrow to his tea, thereby exposing the toxin."
Eldest Aunt Leng asked eagerly: "Does this mean, now that Zilong drank the Stone Marrow, the toxin is expelled?"
Mengyu nodded: "Stone Marrow detected the toxin, which prompted the premature release of the toxin from Zilong’s body and treated it as an impurity to be expelled. However, the chance for body transformation is missed as well. The first use of Stone Marrow is the best opportunity for the body’s transformation. Missing this first chance, alas—"
Mengyu’s expression was very poignant.
In Second Aunt Leng’s eyes, however, there was immense shock, but she feared revealing anything and kept her gaze strained.
"Impossible!" Lin Shasha shouted: "How could you have Stone Marrow, the martial arts treasure?"
Uncle Leng had long heard that the Nan Family possesses a treasure called Stone Marrow, which was auctioned on the black market for over five hundred million per drop, and that was taken out secretly by a fake Eldest Lady of the Nan Family. Normally, it isn’t available for sale!
Mengyu is the true Eldest Lady of the Nan Family and has returned to the family. It’s not surprising that she has Stone Marrow.
Mengyu saved his son for the second time!
Yet, this is only the second time Mengyu has seen his son, and she used the Nan Family treasure on him. Anyone who says that Mengyu doesn’t care about the Leng Family will have to reckon with him!
