Mrs. Lin seemed to be thinking about something. When Lin Meng asked her again, she slowly said:

“Back then, when I was still young, I followed a caravan to Chunyang Town to collect herbs. I got lost while playing around, and it happened to rain, and the road was slippery and dark, so I got injured accidentally.

At that time, your father was tasting herbs in the mountains. I was taking shelter from the rain in a cave and happened to meet your father.

He was gentle and considerate as he applied medicine to me.

Although he was shabby at the time, he was quite handsome.

That rain lasted for half a month, and we were trapped in the cave and couldn't move at all.

We only had some wild fruits to fill our stomachs. I had never suffered such hardship before, but when I was with him, I didn't feel it at all.

As time went by, we both developed feelings for each other.”

Lin Meng felt an indescribable feeling when listening to Mrs. Lin's words.

Such two people once fell in love, and perhaps they truly loved each other.

Now, how come they are looking at each other with only disappointment?

"Later, the rain finally stopped, and the people sent by my father found me in the cave. In order to repay him for saving my life, I took the initiative to bring your father back home.

My father was such a proud man that he couldn't stand my nagging. Fearing that my reputation would be ruined, he finally gave in.

And I married him willingly.

He was smart and studious. After getting married, he stopped practicing medicine and devoted himself to studying business.

Later, my father passed away and he took over the shop and renamed it Lin's Medicinal Herbs Shop.

Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the Lin family herbal medicine shop has finally developed to its current scale.

Then you will know.”

Lin Meng kept watching Mrs. Lin's expression, which gradually turned from sweetness at first to sadness.

Lin Meng felt sorry for bringing up her sad story once again.

However, the pain on Mrs. Lin's face when she looked at him must have been because she was sad that her daughter had unfortunately followed in her footsteps.

Lin Meng quickly comforted Mrs. Lin, "Mom, thank you for letting me be born into this world. I am very happy to have a mother like you. You are my greatest happiness."

She said this with a smile, and Mrs. Lin was somewhat relieved.

Lin Meng comforted Mrs. Lin, but she felt a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lin Changan was also a doctor before.

However, he gave up medicine and went into business.

Lin Meng only found out about these things now, which was quite surprising.

Lin Meng changed the subject, and the two of them helped each other to prepare the antidote, and half an hour passed in a flash.

Preparing the antidote requires tremendous effort, and slow and careful work produces fine results.

For everyone's safety, Lin Meng naturally did not dare to slack off.

But in Yuelai Inn, some people couldn't sit still.

In a dark-looking underground secret room, a woman sat at a table. The flickering candlelight shone on the wall, reflecting the profile of a woman.

There was a man behind her, standing there straight, motionless.

The woman slowly turned around. There was a large burn scar on her right cheek, and the skin around it looked like it was gradually wrinkled.

Such a face looks a little scary at first glance under the candlelight.

But the man behind him didn't panic at all, as if he was used to it.

Judging from her clothes, she was clearly the Si Niang who had "accidentally injured" Lin Meng during the day.

At this moment, Si Niang's eyes were full of resentment!

I saw that Si Niang's face was full of anger. She was slamming the table hard and was very unhappy.

"How ridiculous! This little girl just came back to Taohua Town and she's already against me everywhere. Do I really need to personally handle such a small matter?"

Si Niang's voice was sharp and piercing. She was filled with anger and could only vent her dissatisfaction by roaring.

In this dark secret room, no matter how much she screamed, no one outside could hear a single sound.

This was specially tailor-made for her by Zhou Fugui. This secret room is connected to the room on the third floor. It leads to the elegant room on the upper floor and other places through the secret passage on the lower floor.

It is rare to find a hiding place.

Seeing that she was angry again, Zhou Fugui quickly comforted her:

"Fourth Lady, the doctor said you can't get angry."

After hearing this, the woman seemed even angrier.

"Don't be angry! Don't be angry? I can't even go out to breathe air in my current state. I'm living a life worse than death!"

Si Niang screamed heart-wrenchingly, with tears rolling down her eyes.

Is this what I want?

Seeing her like this, Zhou Fugui stepped forward and supported her body.

"Si Niang! Everything will be fine as long as I'm here."

Zhou Fugui's eyes were full of heartache, but the person in front of him remained unmoved.

"You? Who do you think you are!"

Si Niang suddenly shook off Zhou Fugui's hand and slumped down in the chair.

"Don't call me Si Niang! You are just a lowly person!"

"I, Luo Yongji, will never fall for a man like you!"

Si Niang acted like a madman. Zhou Fugui ignored the unpleasant words and took out a needle and threw it out. Si Niang suddenly fainted.

The man carefully helped her onto the bed and took off her shoes.

He looked at the woman in front of him, gently stroking her face with his fingers. The hideous scar seemed to be deeply engraved on his heart at this moment, leaving him with scars.

Thinking back to what Si Niang had just said, Zhou Fugui felt very unwilling.

"Why? Am I really that bad in your eyes?"

He clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with chills.

night.

Lin Meng ordered his servants to pack the medicine, and finally had time to visit Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was looking at her face in front of the mirror. She had used the Tiannvsanhua cream given to her by Lin Meng today. She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect.

Now my face feels cool, without the burning sensation I had before.

Fortunately, my young lady received timely treatment, otherwise I would have been disfigured now.

Just as she was gently applying the ointment again, Lin Meng walked in.

"Miss, you are here."

Lin Meng looked at Xiaoyu's current condition, which was much better than at noon.

"Xiaoyu, how do you feel now?"

Lin Meng said this as he took out a bunch of small bottles from his arms.

Xiaoyu was a little surprised, "It's better, Miss, what are you doing?"

Lin Meng smiled. Looking at the small packages on the table, she said happily:

"Xiaoyu, these are all treasures. When you get better, I'll let you try them one by one. I guarantee you'll like them."

It turned out that Lin Meng prepared these little things without even having dinner, just to make Xiaoyu relax.

Xiaoyu chuckled. With such an honor, how could she not be happy?

After Lin Meng said goodbye to Xiaoyu, he was about to go back to his room to rest when a message came from the system.

[Abnormal resentment value, defense system activated]

She felt a little puzzled. Was there any danger approaching?

Lin Meng was puzzled. Was there a bug in this self-defense module?

Otherwise, why didn’t you remind me the last time I was in danger?

While she was thinking, she heard footsteps above her head.

"Is it true?"
