Capítulo 40: Mysterious Medical Book
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Nanny Tian saw Ling Mo go upstairs, she quickly brought her the food that had been kept warm.
"Miss, I'm sorry for what happened today. It's my fault for being useless. I can't say anything, and I can't protect you." Nanny Tian picked up the corner of her apron and wiped her red eyes.
"Thank you."
Ling Mo didn't want to brush off her good intentions.
Even though she didn't have much appetite, she still took the chopsticks from Nanny Tian and started to eat slowly.
"Miss, do you have anything you like to eat? Tell me and I'll cook it for you tomorrow. I vaguely remember that you were picky when you were young. You didn't eat anything that wasn't cooked by me."
Ling Mo's expression was calm as she replied, "I don't have anything that I particularly like to eat. After I turned ten, I lost the right to be picky."
Hearing this, Nanny Tian felt her heart ache.
She turned around quietly and wiped away the tears and snot that were gushing out.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Mo put down her chopsticks and looked at Nanny Tian with confusion.
Nanny Tian shook her head and forced out a smile, "Nothing, I just feel sorry for miss. It's true that children without a mother are like grass. If Madam was still alive, she would never allow Master to leave you alone in the countryside."
"It's all in the past."
Noticing the wound on Nanny Tian's forehead, Ling Mo took out a small white porcelain bottle from the bedside table and said slowly, "Apply the ointment on the wound. Don't let it touch water for two hours. It will completely heal after a night's sleep."
NannyTian took the porcelain bottle and sniffed the transparent ointment in it. She asked in surprise, "Why does this ointment look so much like Madam's self-made anti-scar ointment? When Madam was still alive, she saw that I was often scalded by the oil in the pot and gave me several bottles of anti-scar ointment. I still remember this smell."
"This is the anti-scar ointment."
Ling Mo nodded gently and added, "I followed the steps in the 'Divine Book of Ancient Medicine' that you gave me. Don't worry and use it."
"Shh!"
Hearing Ling Mo mention the "Divine Book of Ancient Medicine", Nanny Tian instantly became alert.
She tiptoed to the door of the bedroom. After confirming that there were no eavesdroppers outside the door, she let down her guard.
Ling Mo looked at the cautious Nanny Tian in confusion and asked softly,
"What's wrong?"
After Nanny Tian closed the bedroom door tightly, she lowered her voice and explained patiently,
"Young miss, to be honest, the "Divine Book of Ancient Medicine" was actually left behind by Madam for you. That year, after Madam passed away, I was afraid that this divine book would fall into the hands of others, so I had no choice but to lie and claim that this book was my husband's family's ancestral medical book."
"Are you saying that my mother knows medicine?"
Ling Mo raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, a person who knew how to make medicine, who knew medical knowledge, and who held the "Divine Book of Medicine", would definitely have a lower chance of dystocia than an ordinary person.
Moreover, the "Divine Book of ancient medicine" clearly described in detail how to save oneself when there were all kinds of emergency situations during childbirth. If Shi Ying had studied the medical book seriously, how could such an accident happen?
Could it be that there was something else going on back then?
Ling Mo was speechless, but she had other thoughts in her heart.
If Shi Ying did not die from an accident but from a man-made accident, even if she had to give up everything, she would crush the person who caused the accident into ashes.
...
In the living room on the first floor.
Ling Tian stared blankly at herself in the makeup mirror with a bruised and swollen face. She let Nanny Wu and Nanny Zhang take turns to apply the medicine for her.
Her expression was cold and solemn. She was not as fragile as before. She did not cry or make a scene.
In fact, how could a person with a heart of stone like her shed so many tears?
The reason why she always pretended to be so weak was that tears could help her earn more love and care.
Once tears lost their value, she was too lazy to waste her energy to do that meaningless thing.
Su Yu looked at Ling Tian, who was sitting at the side with a puppet-like expression, with concern. She slowly coaxed her, "Xiao Tian, mom will never let you suffer such grievances for nothing."
"You always say that, but you can't win against Ling Mo," Ling Tian mumbled in a low voice, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"Sigh... some things are not as simple as you think."
Su Yu sighed in frustration, worrying about how to deal with the endless troubles.
In just these two days, in order to quell negative public opinion on the internet, she had already spent a total of three million in public relations fees.
It was fine as long as it had some effect.
What was infuriating was that the group of unscrupulous media received money but did not do anything for her. Not only did they fail to remove negative public opinion on the internet about her, they also inexplicably dug up her old dirt, making her unable to even raise her head in the circle of noblewomen.
Furthermore, Ling Tian's inappropriate words and actions had already been spread through the live stream. If this matter was not settled properly, the number one socialite in Linjiang City would probably be a different person after tonight.
Apart from that, the money that was drying up was also a rather thorny problem.
With only a hundred thousand dollars left, what could she do?
Su Yu had a headache. In order to quickly get the money, she could only cast her gaze on Ling Yunlong.
At this moment, Ling Yunlong had already watched the two live stream videos that Ling Mo had forwarded to him.
After thoroughly understanding the whole story, compared to Ling Tian's incoherent words, he was more willing to believe Ling Mo's words.
However, believing was one thing, but being biased was another.
Realizing that the live stream tonight would very likely damage the gentle image that Ling Tian had created in the past, he did not say anything and directly handed the matter over to the senior secretary to handle.
Su Yu saw that Ling Yunlong had finished what he was doing and eagerly served the tea that she had just brewed. She asked tentatively, "Yunlong, do you feel that everything you do these few days is not going well?"
"Indeed. I don't know what is happening, but all the bad things have come together."
As Ling Yunlong said this, he suddenly remembered Su Yu's cousin, Lin Bao, who had been cultivating in the Han Mountain all year round. He asked,
"Oh right, is your cousin still in the Han Mountain recently? If he doesn't have anything urgent on hand, tell him to come over quickly and tell our family's fortune."
"This..."
Su Yu seemed to be in a dilemma. She stammered for a long time before getting to the main topic, "I heard that the cost of inviting a true expert who has made a name for himself is a million. I'm afraid that I won't be able to invite cousin to come out."
"If I can really change my luck, it's worth it to spend an extra million or so."
Ling Yunlong answered absent-mindedly and clicked on the video of Ling Mo beating up the gangsters.
Her moves seemed to be a little sophisticated, fierce and ruthless, as if she had undergone systematic training.
However, for the past seven years, Ling Mo had been fooling around in the remote and desolate countryside. Most of the people she met were illiterate villagers who had no chance to interact with the outside world, so how did she learn real martial arts?
Could it be that she had learned these strange moves from the bad youths in the countryside?
Ling Yunlong pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything, so he gave up.
When Ling Tian heard that her fraud uncle was coming, she could not help but furrow her brows. She showed obvious resistance to the idea through her body language.
She vaguely remembered that when Lin Bao came to the Ling residence every now and then, there were always some blind people who insisted that they looked alike.
It would have been fine if Lin Bao had a dignified appearance.
But he had a shrewd face. Not only was he unsophisticated, there was also a hint of vulgarity in his eyes.
Because of this, for so many years, Ling Tian had always been unwilling to be in the same room as her uncle. She would stay as far away from him as possible.
It would be best if she could get rid of him completely.
