Chapter 613 Special Means
Lin Mengya was surprised that Baili Wuchen was not Mr. Baili’s nephew.
Baili Rui had been very concerned about his nephew deep inside, although he seemed to have been angry with him for so many years. That was the information Lin Mengya got when she heard Long Tianyu mention the matter between the nephew and uncle.
Otherwise, with Baili Rui’s status and means, how could Prince Yu’s Mansion stop him from advancing?
Now, hearing Mr. Baili’s words, Lin Mengya certainly felt that it was a bit incredible.
“Since you’ve said so, of course, I won’t suspect Gu Die anymore. Nonetheless, although the culprit wasn’t Gu Die, the thing was in the medicine pouch she gave me that day. I think, even if she didn’t do it, she must know who it was.”
On this point, Lin Mengya was not just doing it out of her own selfish motives.
Even if Gu Die was able to detoxify the one who was poisoned, she might not be able to make a complete copy of the poison.
In particular, even Mr. Baili didn’t dare to say that he could fully copy this kind of rare poison, not to mention Gu Die, who was merely a dabbler.
Over the past few days, Lin Mengya had already figured out Gu Die’s so-called medical skills.
If such a person could have concocted such a complicated poison, then Mr. Baili’s knowledge of poison would be wasted.
“That’s true. Alas, the moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day. At that time, Gu Die’s family made a name for themselves relying on their medical skills. Unexpectedly, they have become like this now. If her ancestors knew about it, they would definitely die of anger again.”
In fact, Mr. Baili had no choice but to save the last bit of dignity of Gu Die for the sake of her ancestors.
Lin Mengya knew this better than anyone else.
Currently, it was almost certain that even if Gu Die was not the real culprit behind the scenes, she still had something to do with the real culprit.
Therefore, if Lin Mengya wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, Gu Die could be regarded as the only and the best breakthrough point for her.
“No matter how wise her ancestors were, it would be useless if their descendants failed to live up to their expectations. But don’t worry, Mr. Baili. Since you said so, I will definitely be more polite to her. However, if it is proved that this matter has something to do with her, I hope that you will not be soft-hearted and let go of these troublemakers at that time,” Lin Mengya said seriously.
The incident in Yun State was not just a small one.
Not only was the imperial court in turmoil, but there were also so many people who died.
For both reason and emotion, the murderer should be severely punished.
Baili Rui looked at Lin Mengya and finally sighed.
“Well, just go ahead and do it. If her family really vent their anger on you because of this, I will surely argue strongly for what is right and protect you.”
What Mr. Baili said sounded a little heavy, but more than that, there was unquestionably firmness.
Lin Mengya was stunned. She didn’t expect that the first thing Mr. Baili would think about was her safety on such a matter.
Mr. Baili had stayed away from worldly affairs for such a long time, but for her, he was willing to no longer live such an ordinary life.
… “Mr. Baili… I…”
Lin Mengya was somewhat moved, but Baili Rui looked at her angrily, turned around, and said flatly, “You wicked girl, if you really want to thank me, hurry up and give birth to a baby for me to have fun. Alas, your talent is too poor, but I think the next generation will not disappoint me.”
Obviously, the emotional Mr. Baili didn’t want to face such a situation.
Lin Mengya, who had just been moved, had her feelings resolved by Mr. Baili’s amusing words.
Shaking her head, she returned to her usual self.
The matter should not be delayed. Long Tianyu was about to go to Luoshui Town. Before that, she had to force Gu Die to tell her everything she knew.
Since she had promised Mr. Baili, she had to show some respect to Gu Die.
Of course, she wouldn’t torture her cruelly.
As for the other things, she had many ways to get her to tell the truth.
In the cold and quiet tent, Gu Die was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Her straight back was already a little bent, and her crystal clear, beautiful eyes were like dry springs, making people almost unable to believe that the woman was the savior who made everyone in Yun State shed tears of gratitude at that time.
She didn’t expect that her love, which was in bud, would almost make her perish.
What was even more unexpected was that the person who betrayed her the most was her junior brother, whom she had loved since she was a child.
…”Why… why did Brother Xing do this to me?”
Gu Die couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she had beat Gu Xing and how much he had confessed to her. The only thing she remembered was that when she woke up in the cold river, she saw a pair of cold eyes full of contempt.
She had become such a shameless woman.
Moreover, right now, it was known to everyone. Instead of being humiliated like this, she’d better end her ruined life!
However, she had been holding the dagger in her hand for four hours.
She could completely free herself just by scratching her wrist with the dagger. That said, she sat there in a daze, not knowing why she didn’t take any action.
She gently put the dagger on her fair wrist.
She could even feel the strong beat on her wrist through the dagger.
“Am I going to die like this?” Gu Die only felt that she was suffocating. Nonetheless, when she thought of the exceptionally cold face, she once again lowered the dagger in her hand.
In fact, she didn’t blame Gu Xing for plotting against her, did she?
At the moment when she knew the truth, she was even secretly delighted, hoping that she had already had sex with Long Tianyu.
But the cruel reality told her that Long Tianyu did not touch her at all even when she had been defenseless and had been drugged.
“Am I no match for that woman at all?”
“It seems that you are ready to commit suicide? Well, if a thick-skinned woman like you dies, there will only be one less joke in this world. Don’t look at me. Just go ahead.”
A contemptuous voice with a hint of mockery suddenly came from behind her.
Almost in an instant, Gu Die turned to look angrily at the woman who walked in slowly from the entrance of the tent.
The woman was dressed in a long, purple dress. Although her hairstyle was simple, the slight smile on her lips made her look much more gorgeous.
However, Gu Die found this woman even more hateful!
“Don’t stop. Hurry up if you want to commit suicide. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the people you treated will have an attack again in a few days. Instead of bearing the charge of being a quack by then, you’d better die now. I can tell them that Doctor Gu is righteous. She killed herself to atone for her crime because she discovered the shortcomings of the antidote. Although I have to find some people to make arrangements for your funeral, you can gain a good reputation for your concern toward people. Am I right?”
Lin Mengya pretended to be helpless, but she had never moved her gaze away from the sharp dagger in Gu Die’s hand.
Of course, Lin Mengya was deliberately provoking Gu Die. With the character of Gu Die, the daughter of an eminent family, she could not stand the fact that her enemy slandered her like this.
Sure enough, Gu Die’s little face, which had been dreadfully pale just now, instantly turned slightly red because of anger.
Her eyes regained their glows. Nevertheless, she held the dagger in her hand even more tightly.
Lin Mengya, who had been paying attention to her emotions, certainly understood what it meant.
Lin Mengya’s body tensed as she guarded against Gu Die, but she tried to wear a fearless look on her face.
“Oh? You want to kill me, don’t you? Come on, then kill me. But from now on, I will always be the most important person in Long Tianyu’s heart. Even if you want to compete with me, you won’t stand a chance. Come on, help me!”
Lin Mengya was the most sharp-tongued.
She was such a person. If she caught someone else’s sore spot, she would target it without hesitation.
Even if it was for other’s good, she would always act like a vicious stepmother.
Of course, it was also because the person in front of her was her overt rival in love.
For this kind of person, the reason why she could offer a helping hand was that she would consider it a good deed. How could she have a kind and gentle attitude?
It had to be said that compared with Lin Mengya, a person who had been through a lot, Gu Die, who grew up in a “greenhouse”, did not know that people could be sinister.
This was especially true when she heard that she would never be able to win Long Tianyu’s heart. In an instant, she gave up her intention of trying to stab the dagger into Lin Mengya’s chest.
“That’s right. If Lin Mengya died, I would never win the whole heart of Long Tianyu for the rest of my life.”
Gu Die finally came back to her senses. However, in her heart, Lin Mengya had one more crime, which was cunning.
Nevertheless, as the person involved, Lin Mengya did not care about it at all.
“I won’t fall for your trap. Sooner or later, he will see your true colors!”
Gu Die believed the saying that what goes around comes around and wore an innocent look on her face. Lin Mengya didn’t say anything about it.
Her true colors? It seemed that there was nothing Long Tianyu didn’t know about her tough past.
Even so, it didn’t scare him away, which was enough to show that they were true love.
“I hope so, too. But obviously, it won’t be now. Since the dagger is useless, I advise you to put it down. Otherwise, everyone will think that you have done something shameful and are so angry that you want to commit suicide.”
Lin Mengya would never forget to be sharp-tongued. She leisurely sat down on the chair opposite Gu Die.
Of course, the purpose of her coming here now was not only to stimulate Gu Die so that she could regain the courage to live.
Therefore, she would not hesitate to target Du Die’s sore spot.
“Humph!”
Gu Die, who was rendered speechless by Lin Mengya’s words, chose to hide the dagger in the small bag she carried with her after she glared at Lin Mengya fiercely.
