Chapter 298: Chapter 249 Ninth Update

Of course, these were just Rong Yan’s speculations. As for the true nature of the matter, only the police could investigate.

Aunt Jin felt dizzy and overwhelmed, finding it hard to digest the information.

Madam Rong also thought her daughter’s analysis seemed quite accurate, but... how could it be so mysterious?

Of course, no matter how many doubts she had in her heart, she couldn’t possibly ask them now and undermine her daughter’s stance.

"Aunt Jin, why don’t you guys head back first?"

No cure, absolutely no cure, that’s the troublesome part.

Moreover, if this matter were true... a mother-in-law drugging her daughter-in-law to prevent pregnancy spoke volumes about her malice.

That’s just not human!

Such people must be avoided.

Don’t blame her for lacking compassion... no one in this world mattered more to her than her own daughter.

Aunt Jin felt quite confused now; she didn’t know what to do, so she thought it was best to leave.

She nodded aimlessly, "Okay."

Just then, Xu Guilan, who had earlier left, rushed back in, her expression frantic and showing none of her earlier timidity.

"It’s impossible. How could my mother-in-law do such a thing? You must be mistaken!"

She shouted this particularly loud.

Now, the expressions on the faces of the other three people in the room turned sour.

Aunt Jin quickly intervened, "Guilan, what are you doing?"

Tears streaming down her face, Xu Guilan looked towards Aunt Jin, "Auntie, my mother-in-law is a good person. She would never harm me like this."

Aunt Jin also thought it was unlikely.

But then, how to explain this... Rong Yan wouldn’t have said this without any reason.

Deep down, she was inclined to believe Rong Yan.

"We can talk about this when we get back."

"I..." Xu Guilan’s mind was a mess, she turned to Rong Yan, "Why would you say that the drugs were from my mother-in-law? She has always been looking forward to my having children. She really wanted to have a grandchild soon... it’s my body that’s failing..."

Rong Yan: ...

Great, no hope!

"Let me ask you, didn’t the doctor say that your body was ruined by the drugs?"

Xu Guilan nodded subconsciously, "Yes, they did say that... but it doesn’t mean my mother-in-law is to blame... the medicines she found... she just wanted me to get pregnant sooner... my mother-in-law had no idea those herbs were problematic..."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes shockingly brightened, "It must be that my mother-in-law was also deceived by bad people."

Rong Yan: ...

Madam Rong: ...

She was extremely glad her daughter was intelligent; otherwise, having a daughter like Xu Guilan might literally have killed her.

It wasn’t that she looked down on people, but it was like there was a glaring sign of stupidity on their foreheads.

Aunt Jin: ...

It was the first time she realized something was seriously off with her niece.

Was there something wrong with her brain?

She recalled Rong Yan’s previous words: "Your niece has been brainwashed by her mother-in-law."

She hadn’t understood what "brainwashing" meant before, but now... she suddenly got it.

Was this what being brainwashed looked like?

At this moment, Madam Rong just wanted to get rid of them, "Aunt Jin, you should take your niece back home!"

Don’t blame her for lacking sympathy.

Aunt Jin didn’t want to stay any longer either, feeling extremely frustrated. She never knew her niece had this side.

"Alright, then I’ll head back."

She grabbed Xu Guilan, "Getting treatment can wait a bit, let’s just go home and talk."

As they were about to leave, Madam Rong called out to her:

"By the way, Aunt Jin, regarding the drugging matter, I hope you won’t mention my daughter. If you decide to question it, just say it was someone else."

Aunt Jin immediately nodded, "I know how to weigh things."

Madam Rong looked at her, then glanced in the direction of a distraught Xu Guilan.

She was blunt in her speech.

"But your niece doesn’t know how to weigh things. If this gets out, let me just say this... if it really comes to the point where my daughter gets implicated, I will definitely call the police."

Aunt Jin quickly said, "I won’t let her talk too much."

She pulled Xu Guilan aside, "Guilan, if you want to have children in the future, remember to keep your mouth shut."

Xu Guilan initially wanted to tell her mother-in-law everything, but thinking that it might upset Rong Yan, she simply nodded, "I won’t say anything."

Having children was extremely important to her.

Even if there was just a slight chance, she wanted to try treatment.

So she couldn’t afford to offend Rong Yan.

Madam Rong looked at her indifferently, "You can go now. I won’t see you out."

Aunt Jin then pulled Xu Guilan away.

As soon as they left, Madam Rong glared at Rong Yan, "You should have just said you wouldn’t treat her from the start!"

That would have avoided so much trouble.

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, "But I really can treat her! Why should I say I can’t treat when I can?"

Madam Rong: ...

This petty grudge.

At this moment, Rong Wenming and Qin Ye, along with their siblings, all came in.

They hadn’t come in earlier because they trusted the mother and daughter to handle the situation.

Once the visitors left, they quickly came inside.

"Mother, actually, Yanyan might have just wanted to wake that person up," Qin Ye spoke up for his wife.

Rong Yan: ...

Thanks! But I didn’t.

She simply wanted Xu Guilan to handle her mother-in-law, and then, considering Aunt Jin’s sake, she might treat her if paid.

Rong Wenming was protective of his daughter, unwilling to see his spouse upset. He quickly added, "Alright, Yanyan has her own plans. She’s so smart, she’ll handle this matter well."
