Chapter 454: Inquiry
I could hear the faint sound of music. It had a strong drumbeat mixed with a bamboo string instrument. It was not music I was used to. It was strange but nice.
I found myself calming down. I felt strangely serene and confident.
I opened my eyes and looked at the grandmother in front of me.
She smiled. “Your mother was a good person.”
I smiled. “My mother was a ruler of the underworld.”
How do you define a good person and a bad person?
It all depended on the person who judged you.
She nodded. “You are as transparent as she was.”
“How do you know my mother?” I didn’t know much about my mother.
She smiled faintly. “Fate, I owe her my life. Speak, child, why are you looking for me? Do you need my help?”
I was stunned.
Xiao Yi quickly said, “Grandma, Sister Xing wants to ask you about forget-me-not.”
I came back to my senses and nodded. “Yes, my fiancé has been poisoned by a toxin called forget-me-not. I want to know how to neutralize it.”
“Forget-me-not?” Grandma raised her eyebrows.
I nodded. “Yes, the person who poisoned him is a woman. As long as she is within 100 meters from him, he will be fine. Otherwise, he will be in great pain.”
Grandma nodded. Her expression turned cold. “Where is he now?”
“He’s at his house,” I quickly answered. I thought she wanted to go to look at Jing Tian in person, so I stood up to help her.
However, Grandma didn’t have any intention of moving. She gestured for me to sit down. “Can he endure the pain?”
I didn’t understand what she meant.
“I’m asking you, can he endure the pain?” Grandma’s expression turned cold.
I nodded hesitantly. “He can endure the pain, but I can’t bear to see him suffer like this. I want to neutralize forget-me-not. Can you help me?”
Grandmother looked at me and sighed. “Your name is Nanxing? Nanxing, is this man really that important?”
I nodded. “He’s my fiancée. In this life, I won’t marry anyone but him.”
“Similarly, he won’t marry anyone else but you?” She asked.
I nodded. “Yes.”
Grandma didn’t say anything.
Xiao Yi couldn’t stand it anymore. “Grandma, Sister Xing and Master Qi are extremely close. They’re a perfect couple.”
Grandma revealed a cruel smile. “If he really loves Nanxing, he should endure the pain.”
Xiao Yi and I were both stunned.
Grandma looked at us. “Free-spirited grass is one of the ways to cure forget-me-not. Have you tried that? Granted, it’s no different from using poison to fight poison. It might make matters worse.”
I shook my head.?Since you know it might make matters worse, why should we try it?
I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“There is another method. That is to pair the poisoned and the poisoner together. As long as they are together, both of them will be fine. This is the most effective method to cure forget-me-not. The poisoned will carry around the toxin for the rest of his life. However, as long as he is with his poisoner, he will be fine. The poisoner should be someone very close to your fiance, right?” Grandma uttered chillingly.
I couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief in my heart. Xiao Yi’s grandmother suspected that Jing Tian had cheated on me and was trying to warn me about it.
I waved my hand hastily. “Grandma, you misunderstand. Jing Tian isn’t that kind of person. I’m the one who caught the woman who poisoned him. I have her detained close to him to relieve Jing Tian’s pain. However, I won’t let her meet him. I don’t like this woman either, and I don’t want to rely on her forever. I want to get rid of her as soon as possible.”
Grandma was skeptical..
