Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Child-Inducing Drug

Jiangli revealed a face full of curiosity.

"However, Miss Wei is so young, why would she need this kind of medicine?"

Wei Qingran’s face turned pale, somewhat dazed, "I, I’ve never used this kind of medicine!"

Mr. Wei looked at his sister’s expression and said, "Although Qingran has been married to Liang Xi for a few years and they don’t have any children yet, she isn’t that ignorant. She wouldn’t disregard her own well-being for the sake of a child. Abbot, could there be some misunderstanding?"

Jiangli, seeing Wei Qingran’s bewildered look, also realized that she probably didn’t know she had been drugged.

Jiangli asked, "Have you eaten anything unusual recently?"

Wei Qingran was about to say no when suddenly she remembered something, her expression tightened, "I, I’ve taken some tonics..."

Jiangli narrowed his eyes, "Tonics?"

Wei Qingran clasped her hands and nodded blankly, "Yes..."

Her expression was somewhat bitter and stunned, as if she had thought of something but didn’t dare to believe it.

Jiangli pressed, "What kind of tonics?"

"Just... just some to regulate my body that could help me get pregnant soon..."

Wei Qingran’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

Jiangli asked, "Who prepared them?"

Wei Qingran: "..."

She opened her mouth but produced no sound.

Seeing this, Jiangli didn’t rush her and waited patiently for Wei Qingran to speak up.

Xia Xin also looked at Wei Qingran nervously.

Mr. Wei, however, couldn’t help but say, "Qingran, just speak if you have something to say!"

Wei Qingran’s mind was in turmoil; she barely knew where to start, "The, the tonics... my mother-in-law got them for me..."

Mr. Wei’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, "What?!"

Mrs. Wei quickly ushered the two daughters back to their rooms and said solemnly, "Is it because Qingran hasn’t had children in these three years, and the mother-in-law has resorted to some special methods?"

Mr. Wei was silent, recognizing that it was indeed a possibility.

Wei Qingran’s husband, named Liang Xi, came from a family that was good friends with the Wei Family.

Wei Qingran and Liang Xi were childhood sweethearts and had been in a romantic relationship from a very early age.

Originally, the two were supposed to get married right after graduating from college.

But Wei Qingran, loving performing arts, wanted to break into the film industry; before her family could object, Liang Xi supported her fully.

Later on, Wei Qingran did quite well in the entertainment industry and achieved the glory she desired.

Then, at the height of her fame, she retired from the industry, married Liang Xi, and dedicated herself to family life.

They had been married for over three years, but Wei Qingran had not gotten pregnant.

Mr. Wei knew that the Liang Family had a tradition of only male heirs for three generations and that Liang Xi’s father had passed away early, leaving a widow and an orphan.

Liang Xi’s mother had always wanted to hold her grandchild sooner rather than later.

On the occasional meeting with the Wei family, her conversation hinted at various ways for them to urge Wei Qingran to become pregnant and bear a child soon.

But how could outsiders rush such matters?

Wei Qingran was aware of her mother-in-law’s desires, so she had been actively trying to conceive since getting married.

Back in the entertainment industry, she kept a strict control of her diet and figure, but now, for the sake of getting pregnant, she was taking in nutrition every day, no longer caring about her previously slender figure.

Yet, even so, she remained without child after several years.

Liang Xi’s mother, anxious, frequently changed the tonics for Wei Qingran.

Wei Qingran had grown accustomed to them.

She never thought much about it and certainly didn’t expect that her mother-in-law would drug her.

Considering this, Wei Qingran suddenly looked towards Jiangli, choking up, "Abbot, could there be some misunderstanding? You, you just looked at me once, and you could tell I’d been drugged? Even a divine physician couldn’t possibly do that!"

Xia Xin also urgently looked at Jiangli, "Yes, yes, Elder, maybe we should check again?"

Qing Yue, however, seemed quite interested in watching Jiangli, as if anticipating what Jiangli would say next.

Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei were also somewhat worried.

Mr. Wei said, "Abbot, do you have any way to confirm this?"
