She knew her son’s methods well. Once he made a move, he would make sure Ye Shaohua would regret ever offending her.
Liu Mingxin did not think there was anything wrong with that.
Kind people get bullied. If her son and Sima Mingxuan had not come today, would Ye Shaohua have let her off so easily?
No matter the era, the one with the bigger fist is the boss. Liu Mingxin had always understood this principle.
However, instead of waiting for Ye Shaohua to make a fool of herself, she noticed something wrong with Liu Lin.
“Mother… my body feels so itchy…” Liu Mingxin turned and saw that all the skin exposed on Liu Lin’s body was covered in red rashes!
Liu Lin felt as if a fire was burning inside him.
His body was also unbearably itchy, making him wish he could bang his head against a wall.
He scratched his face until it was raw and still did not feel the pain.
Instead, he tore his clothes open and scratched his back and chest. Neither Sima Mingxuan nor Liu Mingxin could stop him in time.
But Liu Lin was only a five-year-old child, so stripping off clothes on the street was not considered a big deal.
Only then did Liu Mingxin discover that Liu Lin’s body was also covered in patches of rashes. What on earth was going on?!
She only understood modern Western medicine. If it were performing surgery, she would certainly be outstanding. But when it came to ancient poisons and such, she knew nothing at all and had no idea where to even begin.
It was the well-informed Sima Mingxuan who realized that this was the itch powder used in the martial world. But seeing that Liu Lin’s face was bright red and he seemed unconscious, he immediately understood that this medicine was far more powerful than the itch powders found in the martial world.
Seeing Liu Mingxin flustered, he thought she had been frightened, so she forgot that she was a divine doctor.
So he directly carried Liu Lin to the Duan Prince Manor and asked the physicians there to examine Liu Lin one after another.
As for the ordinary commoners lying by the street, poisoned by Liu Lin, he had no intention of caring for them at all.
These ordinary people had bullied the people of the Duan Prince Manor and even wanted to send them to the authorities. If he did not order those people to be beaten to death with rods, that was already merciful.
Ye Shaohua stayed where she was and did not return to the Ye Family Medical Hall. Instead, she had the people from the Ye Family Medical Hall carry those who had collapsed on the street into the medical hall.
Today, these commoners had more or less been affected because of her and had been poisoned by Liu Lin. They were completely innocent, and she would not stand by and do nothing.
But before entering the room, she glanced in the direction Liu Lin and the others had left, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
So that was the effect!
Liu Lin was young, but his mind was vicious. If this multiplied itch medicine had been used on her, her reaction would definitely have been far more miserable than Liu Lin’s.
A teenage girl stripping in public while delirious would surely be accused by countless people in this ancient era of being immoral and corrupting public morals. Even the women in brothels would be more modest than her.
Although this itch medicine was not a highly toxic poison, it was especially torturous. This was because the itch medicine had no antidote. One could only endure seven days of torment, being tortured until barely human, before it slowly faded on its own.
Seeing how skilled Liu Lin was with it, he must have used this method to torment quite a few people.
Since Liu Mingxin had neither stopped nor properly disciplined her son, then she should also understand… that one day, someone would teach her son a lesson in her place!
Unfortunately, Ye Shaohua was one of those people. But the current Liu Mingxin clearly had not realized this yet.
Today, Sima Mingxuan’s actions also chilled the hearts of the commoners watching the excitement. Although it was only a small number of people, over time, even small drops could gather into a river.
Yet Sima Mingxuan still had not realized the seriousness of the matter. He was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
The old princess consort originally had no good feelings toward the ordinary woman who had suddenly appeared, especially since she had brought along a child claiming to be her grandson.
In her heart, she still held onto the dream of returning to the capital.
Back when the Ye family was still around, the one she had favored was Ye Shaohua. Now the Ye family had become a pile of loose sand, with only a lonely orphan girl left. Although she did not think much of Ye Shaohua, that did not mean she could think highly of a Liu Mingxin whose status was extremely low.
Because of this, she was very displeased that Sima Mingxuan had brought this mother and son pair back to the manor.
However, before this thought had lasted even a day, she was stunned by Liu Lin.
Liu Lin was truly a genius child. Sima Mingxuan already liked him very much and, intending to teach him well, specially invited the most famous scholar in the area.
But unexpectedly, after only one day, the scholar came out ashamed and said he had nothing left to teach.
Upon questioning, it was discovered that Liu Lin had a photographic memory. The scholar had originally been teaching him basic knowledge. With talent like that, was there even any need to teach him?
When the news reached the old princess consort, she was naturally shocked as well.
This was especially true because Sima Mingxuan had also warned her not to provoke this mother and daughter pair.
“Mother,” Sima Mingxuan said solemnly, “Linlin is not an ordinary person. You may think he is only five years old, but he already controls a faction. If we really compare strength, it is absolutely no less than our Duan Prince Manor.”
Immediately after, Sima Mingxuan told the old princess consort everything about the Wunian Sect.
The old princess consort was dumbfounded and deeply shocked.
Only then did she realize that this grandson was actually so formidable, not at all like an ordinary child. With such strength, he would surely become a formidable overlord in the future.
Standing not far away, Liu Mingxin saw the old princess consort’s dumbfounded expression and smiled disdainfully. These ancients just loved to make a fuss over everything. If they knew she was also the behind-the-scenes owner of the capital’s money house, would they not be frightened to death?
