Chapter 922 Exhausting the last bit of strength (3 more)
Ever since she started talking about Mr. Shen's illness, Mrs. Shen's hands have been grabbing the edge of the table.
So she fell to the ground and pulled the tablecloth together. All the teapots and bowls fell to the ground, and the remaining tea was poured all over herself.
Shen Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward to help, but found that Mrs. Shen had fainted.
"Here comes someone!" Shen Tianshu shouted outside.
Logically speaking, if there is such a loud noise in the house, even if no one calls, you should come in and take a look.
But not only did no one come in, no one even answered.
Could it be that Mrs. Shen was afraid that her conversation with her would be heard, so she sent everyone too far away?
Shen Tianshu couldn't help Old Mrs. Shen up by himself, so he could only press and pinch her in the middle, hoping to wake her up.
But Mrs. Shen was as soft as noodles and had no reaction.
Shen Tianshu retracted his hand and was about to take out the golden needle from the bracelet, but suddenly he smelled a smell on his hand that shouldn't be there.
She searched for the source of the smell and found that it came from the tea on Mrs. Shen's body.
Has this tea been drugged?
Shen Tianshu fiddled with the tea base that fell on the ground and found that a lot of things were added to it, which cleverly covered up most of the drugged smell.
In addition, Shen Tianshu hadn't drank tea and was focused on listening to what Mrs. Shen was talking about, so he never noticed it.
It was only then that she realized the problem.
But in this case, wouldn't this matter be even more strange?
If Mrs. Shen had added medicine to the tea, the purpose must have been to stun Shen Tianshu.
But Shen Tianshu didn't drink tea. Instead, the old lady drank a lot of it herself.
If it wasn't Mrs. Shen, then who would be the person who administered the medicine?
Shen Tianshu could not think of anyone who would do such a thing.
She found that she could not wake up Mrs. Shen for a while, so she got up and prepared to go out to look for someone.
Unexpectedly, when I pushed the door open, I discovered that the door had been locked from the outside.
"Here comes someone! Is there anyone outside? Yun'er? Mingyu?"
Shen Tianshu banged the door and shouted loudly, but there was no response from outside.
Even Xie Yun didn't respond.
Shen Tianshu's heart sank, something must have happened.
Just when she was about to try to kick open the door, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Standing outside the door was a person Shen Tianshu had not expected at all - Mr. Dong.
Dong's body was blocked in the doorway, standing against the light, making her expression completely hidden in the shadows.
"Auntie?" Shen Tianshu took two steps back. For a moment, he was a little confused whether she was the mastermind or whether she heard the voice and came to help.
"You didn't faint?" Dong's voice was a little erratic.
"Auntie, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Brother and sister, what are you talking nonsense about? Why do you call me aunt? You should call me sister-in-law."
Shen Tianshu discovered that Dong seemed to think of herself as Liu Yaxuan.
She hadn't yet figured out what was going on with Mrs. Dong, and didn't want to irritate her, so she followed the good advice: "I was confused just now and followed the child's bark. Don't blame me, sister-in-law."
Dong's bared teeth gave her a weird smile.
Shen Tianshu found that something seemed not right with her mental state.
As Mr. Dong approached step by step, Shen Tianshu immediately smelled a very strong smell of aphrodisiac.
"Auntie, have you started smoking aphrodisiac too?" Looking at Mr. Dong's unfocused eyes, Shen Tianshu thought to himself that it was not good.
Ever since she learned that Mr. Shen was taking opium, she tried to find some relevant information through Li Zian.
Not only is opium addictive, it can also make people crazy and even cause hallucinations.
Dong's state was very wrong at this time. No wonder she directly thought of her as Liu Yaxuan.
Mrs. Dong glanced at Shen Tianshu, then at Old Mrs. Shen who was still lying on the ground in a miserable state, and closed the door behind her back.
"You two are whispering behind closed doors and discussing how to steal my husband, right?"
"How could that be?" Shen Tianshu explained, "The old lady just told me something about my husband's studies."
"Ha!" Mrs. Dong sneered, "You don't have to cover up the old lady anymore. I heard everything she said to my master.
"She has forgotten everything she said when she went to my house to propose marriage."
Shen Tianshu could only try to delay time and ask: "What did she say back then?"
But Mr. Dong didn't answer her words at all and said to himself: "I don't care about the Shen family's money or anything else. I just like him as a person and admire his talent.
"Even if he is paralyzed for the rest of his life, even if we are only in the name of husband and wife and never have the reality of being husband and wife, I am still willing to guard him and follow him!
"I can fan him when he reads, I can help him polish when he writes, and I am willing to do anything for him, but...
"But why... why!" Dong suddenly increased his voice and turned around to glare at Shen Tianshu, "Why did everything change as soon as you appeared!
"As long as you are around, his eyes will always follow you without even looking at me.
Mrs. Dong stepped forward and grabbed Shen Tianshu's neck.
After taking the aphrodisiac, she became much stronger than usual. Shen Tianshu used both hands but could not pry her fingers apart.
Just listen to Mr. Dong continue: "Isn't it because you have a beautiful face?"
As Dong said, he suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and patted Shen Tianshu's cheek.
"Tell me, if I ruin this face, will he look at you again?"
At this time, Shen Tianshu began to feel chest tightness, breathlessness, and his face and neck were turning red.
Seeing that she couldn't pry Dong's hand off, she simply let go, put her hands behind her back, groped for the golden needle hidden in the bracelet, and used her last bit of strength to pierce it into the Yamen point on the back of Dong's head.
The Yamen point is the Du meridian, which is the meeting point of the Du meridian and the Yangwei meridian. If it is hit at ordinary times, it can easily lead to aphasia, dizziness or even falling to the ground and unconsciousness.
Shen Tianshu used all his strength to inject the needle, and the whole golden needle sank into the back of Dong's head.
Dong lost consciousness instantly and lay straight on the ground.
Shen Tianshu also fell to the ground, gasping for air greedily.
But then, she inhaled a puff of smoke from nowhere and choked uncontrollably.
Shen Tianshu felt bad and climbed to the door with his still weak hands and feet. She was shocked when she pushed the door open.
Everything as far as the eye could see outside Mrs. Shen's door had been engulfed in fire.
Mr. Dong set the fire first before entering the house.
Shen Tianshu was forced back into the house by the heat wave outside and quickly closed the door.
She tried her best to move to the other side and opened the north window, but there were still flames dancing outside.
Shen Tianshu had exhausted the last bit of strength at this time, and his whole body collapsed along the window sill.
