The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 463 Who Hurt Her

Tan Lin ignored his wife and just looked at Yan Ning: "You have lived here for half a year?"

Yan Ning nodded: "Yes."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Yan Ning curled her lips. Tan Lin couldn't see her expression because of the hat. She said crisply, "No, I'm in good health. I didn't expect that the adults would believe such groundless rumors."

Before Tan Lin could respond, Mrs. Tan started chattering again.

"That's not just a rumor, that's all true. Anyone who lives in this house will either get sick or get into trouble. Anyway, it's all bad."

"I heard that you are a widow and there is no man in your family. You will definitely not be able to suppress the evil spirit in this house. If nothing happens now, who knows when it will happen."

Yan Ning raised her eyebrows. Mother Li was already unhappy. She said coldly, "Madam, my wife was kind enough to treat your daughter. It's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you actually cursed my wife. That's too much."

Mrs. Tan immediately said, "That's not what I meant."

Yan Ning could see that Mrs. Tan didn't think before she spoke. She didn't have any bad intentions, she just spoke directly.

Yan Ning didn't care, he just looked at Tan Lin and said, "If Master Tan really minds, then let's not have this treatment."

Tan Lianxin was still in the carriage. Yan Ning didn't even look at the carriage. He called Mother Li and wanted to go in through the side door.

As soon as Mrs. Li opened the door, Tan Lin became anxious. After a long struggle, he finally said, "I believe in Dr. Lin. I'll leave my daughter to you. I hope you won't break your promise and hand my daughter over to me in good health in a month."

Mrs. Tan said anxiously: "Husband..."

Tan Lin reached out and interrupted her.

He said to Yan Ning: "I'll send some people over."

Yan Ning shook her head: "No, I don't like others spying on me."

"Not surveillance..."

"That's not necessary."

As she spoke, she glanced at the two concubines behind her. The bright-looking one didn't react, but the pretty one raised her head slightly and glanced at her.

Yan Ning sneered silently and asked Mother Li to pick up Tan Lianxin from the carriage.

Tan Lianxin is only eight years old, and Mother Li can easily hold her.

Mother Li held Tan Lianxin and walked straight into the door.

Yan Ning followed in.

Madam Tan wanted to follow her in, but Yan Ning turned around and closed the door. "I'm sorry, Madam Tan. My house is unlucky. You'd better not come in. If something happens to you, you can blame my house for it. I won't be able to explain myself even if I say a hundred times."

Mrs. Tan choked and looked unhappy.

Tan Lin came over and pulled his wife behind him. He looked inside the door and said, "We'll come back in a month."

Yan Ning hummed, said no more, and closed the door.

Tan Lin took a look at the house, waved his hand and called his subordinates over, asking him to arrange a dozen soldiers to patrol around the house.

The first is to ensure the safety of the house, the second is to prevent any bad things from happening in the house so that he can get the news as soon as possible, and the third is to prevent Yan Ning from failing to cure Tan Lianxin and running away secretly.

After making all the arrangements, he returned to the Tan Mansion with his wife and two concubines.

Mother Li put Tan Lianxin on a bed in the guest room in the backyard. Yan Ning took off his hat and went to the pharmacy to get medicine.

She prepared the medicine and asked Mother Li to prepare it.

After the medicine was boiled, Mother Li fed it to Tan Lianxin. After taking back the medicine bowl, Mother Li asked, "Madam, why is Miss Tan Si still not waking up?"

Yan Ning made herself some hot tea, poured a cup, and was drinking it in her hand. Hearing this, she glanced at Mother Li and said, "When Fourth Miss Tan got into trouble, she was drugged. The drug mixed with fire can make people unconscious."

Mother Li exclaimed, "Madam, what you mean is that the accident involving Fourth Miss Tan was not an accident, but a man-made one?"

Yan Ning nodded.

Mother Li was shocked: "Who wants to harm such a young child? It's too cruel. They wanted to burn the child to death, but failed and left the child disfigured."

As a girl, no one would want her even if she only had a scar, not to mention that half of her face was burned. At least no good family would want her. This person destroyed half of Tan Lianxin's face, which shows how vicious he is.

Yan Ning's face showed a cold expression. She didn't say who it was. She just instructed Mother Li: "Go and find out about the situation in the Tan Mansion tomorrow. Find out what kind of people Lord Tan, Madam Tan, and the two concubines are. Also, find out about the young masters and young ladies in the mansion."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll go and find out tomorrow."

There were no servants in the Lin residence, only Yan Ning and Mother Li. Tan Lianxin was unconscious, and Yan Ning could treat her, but could not predict when she would wake up. Someone had to take care of Tan Lianxin, so Yan Ning asked Mother Li to stay.

Mother Li moved to Tan Lianxin's guest room that night, and was responsible for boiling the medicine and feeding her.

After Mother Li went out to inquire about the situation at the Tan Mansion, she came back to report to Yan Ning.

"Lord Tan has a good reputation. Although he is a Jiang countryman, he is conscientious and has no signs of restlessness. In Lucheng, he is still deeply loved by the people."

"Mrs. Tan comes from a small family. She doesn't speak or act in a grand manner, but she's not a bad person. People say she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has been with Mr. Tan for more than ten years and has given birth to a son and a daughter for him. The son is married and the daughter is also married."

"There are two concubines in the Tan Mansion, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Wang. Concubine Zhou gave birth to a concubine son, and Concubine Wang gave birth to a concubine daughter."

"Tan Lianxin's biological mother was also an aunt, her surname was Miao, and she passed away three years ago. When she died, she was very much loved by Master Tan."

Yan Ning listened silently and asked, "How did Aunt Miao die?"

"Died of illness."

"What disease?"

"It's tuberculosis."

Yan Ning nodded to show that he understood.

Mother Li then talked about the situation of the four children in the Tan family.

There are also the personalities of the two aunts.

Aunt Zhou, the bright-looking concubine, was not very favored, but because she gave birth to a bastard son and the bastard son was also ambitious, her life in the mansion was relatively good.

Aunt Wang, the pretty one, is currently the most favored one, but her daughter is not very popular with Tan Lin.

This is very strange.

Generally, if you love a woman, you will also like her child.

Speaking of Tan Jingmeng, Mother Li said that she also went out to play on the night of New Year's Eve.

But she didn't go out with Tan Lianxin.

I didn’t go to the same place as Tan Lianxin.

There must be a reason why Mrs. Li specifically mentioned this matter.

Mother Li said: "The news I heard is that Tan Lianxin and Tan Jingmeng have a very good relationship. The two of them often play together. In the past Chinese New Year, they were inseparable. No matter where they went to play, they were together. But this year they were not together, and then Tan Lianxin got into trouble."

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Mother Li's suspicion is not unreasonable.
