After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

If her guess is correct, the amulets that Shen Rou gave to her and Shen Wan for protection are probably also problematic.

However, she had taken off the amulet after her rebirth, intending to throw it away, but Bai Zhi picked it up again.

In her past life, her child with Xie Linyuan died before reaching one year old.

It was precisely because Shen Rou had already poisoned his body.

That amulet was a gift from Shen Rou when she came of age last year.

Shen Rou said that she prayed devoutly before the Buddha for a full half month before she obtained this peace charm.

At that time, Shen Rou did indeed leave Yanjing for half a month.

Looking back now, I realize that those two weeks weren't spent praying for blessings at all.

Instead, she went to Yongzhou to visit her younger sister and father.

Wan'er also has a safety charm, which Shen Rou obtained along with it.

In her past life, Wan'er became pregnant with Doctor Rong's child, but eloped with him midway, and the child was lost.

Perhaps it's because of this amulet.

Shen Ning thought for a moment, put down the amulet in her hand, walked to the cabinet, and took out her own amulet from the box.

Bai Zhi looked at her with some confusion.

"Miss, haven't you stopped wearing this amulet a long time ago? Why are you taking it out again all of a sudden?"

"This was personally obtained by the young lady from the temple when you came of age last year."

"I heard that the young lady spent a whole two weeks in the temple eating vegetarian food, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and copying sutras."

Shen Ning looked at Bai Zhi with a cold expression: "Go to Wan'er's place."

"Take the amulet from her, but don't let anyone notice."

She then turned to Ziyuan: "Ziyuan, go to your second brother's place and get the peace charm."

"Although my second brother is a gambler, when I visited him last time, I saw that he had a lucky charm under his pillow."

"Yes, Miss."

After the two maids left, Shen Ning looked at Zi Yu again.

"Ziyu, go out of the mansion through the side gate and go to the west of the city to fetch Doctor Zhang. Remember not to let anyone see you."

Ziyu nodded: "Yes, Miss."

Not long after Ziyu left, Baizhi brought Shen Wan's amulet.

About fifteen minutes later, Zi Yuan returned with Shen Feng's token.

"The second young master is asleep. This amulet was given to me by Tian Shuang."

Shen Ning nodded: "Okay."

"Has Second Brother been resting in the courtyard these past few days caused any trouble?"

Zi Yuan shook her head: "Since the Second Young Master knew that he was beaten like this by the Regent's men, he didn't cause any more trouble."

"However, according to the maids in the courtyard, the second young master has been very irritable lately, and sometimes he even tries to kill people with a knife."

"Okay, I understand," Shen Ning replied, without saying anything more.

About half an hour later, Ziyu led Doctor Zhang quietly into the side room.

Shen Ning handed the four amulets to the doctor.

"Dr. Zhang, could you please take a look and see if there's anything wrong with these amulets?"

Dr. Zhang was a sensible man. He took the talisman, examined it carefully, and then smelled it.

A moment later, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

His complexion gradually turned ugly.

"Miss, where did you get this amulet?"

"Throw it away immediately, you absolutely must never wear it again."

He pointed to two of them: "These two are soaked in drugs that cause madness. If you wear them or smell them for a long time, the toxins will gradually seep into your body."

"At first, a person poisoned will be restless and agitated. Over time, they will become confused, act erratically, and may even go insane."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

Isn't this exactly Shen Feng's personality now?

The doctor then pointed to two other stones: "As for these two, they are specifically designed to damage a woman's reproductive ability."

"If a woman wears it for a long time, the toxins will penetrate deep into her body, which may cause infertility, or even if she becomes pregnant, she may miscarry."

"Even if a child is born from a pregnancy, most of them will contract a terminal illness and will not live past their first birthday."

"And the mother's body will also become increasingly weak."

Shen Ning trembled, a breath caught in her chest, and she couldn't exhale.

In her mind, the image of the child she had with Xie Linyuan in her past life resurfaced.

Jing'er.

When Jing'er passed away, Xie Linyuan's hair turned white overnight.

She also fell seriously ill as a result.

The child looked remarkably like Xie Linyuan. Before he died, he was still tightly embracing Xie Linyuan's neck, his little face turning blue.

Weakly, he called Xie Linyuan "Father".

At that time, they tried everything they could, but they still couldn't keep him.

Xie Linyuan knelt in the wind and snow, his hair turning completely white overnight;

However, her temperament changed drastically, and she was instigated by Granny Fang and Shen Rouchen to hate Xie Linyuan.

It turns out, it was all because of this amulet.

Shen Ning never imagined that she would have believed Shen Rou's good intentions so much in her past life.

He wore this amulet close to his body, and that's how he ended up.

At that time, I heard that Shen Rou prayed before the Buddha for half a month and copied Buddhist scriptures for half a month in order to obtain this peace charm.

She was moved for a long time.

The results of it?

It's all fake.

Shen Ning took a deep breath and looked up at Doctor Zhang: "Please take my pulse, Doctor."

Dr. Zhang nodded, took her wrist, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

"The girl's body has indeed been contaminated with poison."

"If we have children in the future, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Ning pressed.

"I'm afraid the young lady will have difficulty conceiving in the future, and even if she does get pregnant, the baby may not survive," the doctor sighed.

"However, there are still ways to detoxify."

The doctor spoke, then picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription.

"Take the medicine according to this prescription, and it will gradually clear the toxins from your body."

"However, there are a few special medicinal herbs inside that may not be available in ordinary pharmacies; you might have to look for them on the black market."

Shen Ning took the prescription, glanced at it, and then asked, "Is there any antidote for that other kind of maddening poison?"

The doctor pondered for a moment: "It can be cured, but the medicinal materials will be even harder to find."

"Doctor, just prescribe the medicine; I'll figure out how to get the ingredients."

The doctor nodded and wrote down another prescription.

Shen Ning carefully put away the prescription and said to Zi Yuan, "See Doctor Zhang out through the side door."

"Be careful, don't let anyone see you."

"Yes, Miss."

After Ziyuan left with the doctor, Baizhi's eyes were red.

"Miss, since this amulet has been tainted with something filthy, should we still wear it?"

Shen Ning remained calm, holding the talismans in her hand, a faint smile curving her lips.

"Wear it, of course you should wear it."

"If you don't wear it on your body, those people will find other ways to poison you."

She handed the talisman to Ziyu, who had just returned.

"Ziyu, tonight take these amulets to Wanfo Temple."

"Please have the monks in the temple make four new ones in the same style."

Ziyu hesitated, "Miss, will this work?"

"It can be done," Shen Ning affirmed.

"These talismans were originally obtained from Wanfo Temple, but they were later poisoned."

"If it is copied exactly as it is, there should be no difference in appearance."

Ziyu nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go and do it right away."

After Ziyu left, Ziyuan and Baizhi helped Shen Ning wash and change her clothes.

Shen Ning remained silent, her face pale.

The two maids knew this was no small matter and dared not ask any further questions.

-

The next morning, Shen Ning had just gotten up when she heard Bai Zhi say that Shen Yan had caught someone.

This man was a servant who had been handling the dirty business for Madam Yu and Yu Pingsheng for many years.

He was considered one of the Yu family's right-hand men.

Shen Yan did not consult with anyone.

In front of Madam Shen and Madam Yu, they sent the person directly to the government office.

"These two tampered with the carriage, which is why my elder sister was injured."

"Send them to the authorities, and they will naturally be able to find out something from the interrogation."

"We can also find out who's behind it all."

Sitting in the chair, Madam Yu trembled all over, not daring to utter a single word.

Shen Yan continued, "Grandmother, there is one more thing I want to say today."

"From this day forward, my salary will not go to the Empress, but will be given only to Ning'er and Wan'er."

Madam Yu immediately objected, "How can this be allowed?"

Shen Yan sneered, "Second Aunt, don't forget that I am the heir of the Marquis's mansion."

"If my two younger sisters were doing well, that would be one thing, but look at Wan'er and Ning'er, how badly they're being bullied."

"Do you think that just because I'm often away on cases, you can humiliate my two sisters at will?"

"If I return from Suiyang and anything happens to my two younger sisters, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"The people in my household are too mixed up these days; my salary isn't for supporting two poor relatives."

"Let's send away that poor, distant relative who's been begging for money."

Madam Yu was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to retort, she met Shen Yan's eyes, which looked like they wanted to devour her.

Madam Shen was trembling with anger, but because of Shen Wan's matter, she felt she was in the wrong and remained silent.

After taking one of the servants away, Shen Yan had him sent directly to the government office.

-

At Zhaohua Courtyard, while Shen Ning was still washing up, Zi Yu returned from Wanfo Temple.

She handed four brand-new amulets to Shen Ning.

"Miss, it's done. It's almost identical."

"What should we do with the original ones?"

Shen Ning said calmly, "Keep it, and give them a taste of their own medicine."

"Eldest sister, she loves being close to Consort Liu the most, keep her."

Ziyu: "Yes, Miss."

Shen Ning had the replaced amulets returned to Shen Wan and Shen Feng respectively.

After sending the two servants to the government office, Shen Yan returned to the Shen family home to prepare for his trip to Suiyang to handle the case.

This time he was careful and thoroughly checked the carriage and horses before setting off.

"Big brother." Shen Ning walked over and handed him a good luck charm.

"I should still wear the amulet that my elder sister gave me yesterday."

She lowered her voice, "At least, the act has to be convincing."

Looking at the amulet, Shen Yan recalled Shen Rou's face and felt a chill run down his spine.

Before long, Shen Rou emerged from the courtyard with her maid Xiang Ling.

She walked up to Shen Yan with a gentle smile still on her face.

"Yan'er, be careful on your way to Suiyang to handle the case."

"When you get there, remember to send a message to your elder sister so that I can be at ease."

Shen Yan forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, elder sister."

Shen Rou chuckled, "I'm your eldest sister, so it's only right that I worry about you more."

"Eldest sister has no other wish than for all of us siblings to be safe and sound."

Her gaze fell slightly downwards, landing on Shen Yan's waist.

"Yan'er, have you worn the amulet I got for you yesterday?"

Shen Yan's expression hardened, and he took out the amulet he had been clutching in his hand, which he was about to throw away.

"It was a gift from my eldest sister, so of course I'll wear it."

Shen Rou's smile deepened: "That's good then."
