Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 293 - 291 Luo Yuzhu Regrets (Second Update)

Luo Yuzhu certainly didn’t believe these things, and she stood up, "Don’t worry, our Lin Family will cover your silly brother’s medical expenses. Right, isn’t your husband a doctor? He can even cure Wu Family’s eldest’s life-threatening illness, so saving an idiot must be a piece of cake. Why don’t you have him come back and treat him? As long as the idiot is cured, our Lin Family will pay for it."

What a mess this idiot made, getting into a car accident like that, "As long as you’re willing to help your Uncle Lin out, any amount will do."

"What’s this, openly asking for a price now? Anything goes, right, fifty thousand or even a hundred thousand?" Xiaofeng curled her lips.

"As long as you’re willing to help, you can ask for fifty or a hundred thousand, no problem, we Lin Family can afford it." Compared to Jianguo’s future, a mere fifty or a hundred thousand is just pocket change.

"Quite the generous offer." Xiaofeng said with a half-smile, "You really are going all out to get Lin Jianguo promoted. Alright then, let it be a hundred thousand."

Luo Yuzhu watched her warily, "You’re not trying to trick me into falling for it again, are you? Don’t think about deceiving me, I won’t fall for it."

"If you don’t believe me, then forget it." Xiaofeng shrugged, "You’ve just personally admitted to having someone kidnap my brother. I’m sure Captain Hong will bring justice for my brother." Xiaofeng opened the office door, and Captain Hong was standing right outside.

Captain Hong looked at Luo Yuzhu with an even expression: "Ms. Luo, you just personally admitted to masterminding the kidnapping of Su Peng. Please come with us."

Luo Yuzhu looked at the suddenly appearing Captain Hong, then back at Su Xiaofeng, and screamed, "Su Xiaofeng, you just deliberately led me to admit the kidnapping, you didn’t have any evidence against me at all, did you?"

Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, her beautiful lashes fluttering lightly, "Yes, I only knew that two middle-aged men had taken my brother into a car, but I couldn’t be sure it was you who had them do it."

Would Luo Yuzhu have admitted it had Xiaofeng not said so?

"So, those two men haven’t been apprehended yet, and you’re just bluffing?" Luo Yuzhu frowned, realizing how foolish she had been to fall for Su Xiaofeng’s trap.

"If we had apprehended them, we could have arrested you directly." Captain Hong continued, "Ms. Luo, you are suspected of kidnapping a mentally disabled adult, and attempting to bribe Miss Su Xiaofeng, which constitutes a crime. Please come with us."

"Captain Hong." Luo Yuzhu certainly revered Captain Hong, the iron-fisted figure of Xijiang County, feared by everyone, "I was just talking nonsense just now, it wasn’t me, how could it be me? I have no quarrel or grudge against Su Peng, why would I kidnap him?"

This damned girl, she was going to be the death of her.

"Whether it was you or not, you’ll explain that to us back at the station. We only believe in facts and evidence." Captain Hong was famously merciless, "Let’s go."

Unable to reason with Captain Hong, Luo Yuzhu kneeled before Xiaofeng, crying and sniffling, "Xiaofeng, I was wrong. I was bewitched back then when I stole you away, it was my fault. But I had my difficulties too, my own daughter died in my arms, and in desperation, I only wanted her to come back to life quickly. You’re going to become a mother too, you can understand that feeling, can’t you? My helplessness and despair at that time?"

Luo Yuzhu now deeply regretted it; if she hadn’t become greedy back then, unable to accept the news of her daughter’s death, she wouldn’t have stolen Xiaofeng away.

If she hadn’t stolen Xiaofeng, she wouldn’t have brought an enemy into her own home.

Thinking about this, she cried even louder, "Xiaofeng, I just didn’t want to lose my own daughter, I just wanted her to return to my embrace. I was also afraid your grandmother would scold and blame me, so I was blinded for a moment and swapped the child with that young couple’s. Xiaofeng, tell me, since you came to the Su Family, how have the Su Family treat you, what about your dad? If it weren’t for you not getting into college, even if you wanted to go to college, your dad would have allowed it."

"Yes, I remarried, and the fact that I was a thief towards you constantly reminded me, so I could never face you and just wanted to stay away."

Xiaofeng listened to Luo Yuzhu’s words with a distinctly cold expression on her face.

"I never imagined that the little girl I personally brought back all those years ago would be the one to send me to prison. Xiaofeng, after all, you’ve called me ’Mom’ for eighteen years. Sending me to prison like this, does your heart not ache?" What was it that made her bring such an ingrate back home? If she could turn back time, she definitely wouldn’t have brought her home.

"Ache?" Xiaofeng indeed felt nothing, "When you lost a child, you were heartbroken, but what about my biological parents? Do they not love their child? Do they have to accept the blow of their child’s death? Luo Yuzhu, had you not told me that I was adopted, out of respect for you being my ’biological mother’, no matter how unfilial I was, I wouldn’t have turned against my own mother. But you’re not, you’re the culprit who stole me away and separated me from my birth parents, even if I could forgive you, my biological parents certainly wouldn’t."

Only the young couple could understand the feeling of losing a healthy baby to a stillbirth in an instant.

Luo Yuzhu knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, "Even if it was my fault back then, these actions were mine alone, let me bear the responsibility. Don’t drag the Lin Family into this."

As long as the Lin Family was okay, Yueyue could continue being the esteemed Second Miss of the Lin Family, guaranteed a life free from want.

"We will thoroughly investigate the matter regarding Lin Jianguo," Captain Hong waved his hand, signaling two officers to come in and drag away the man who was kneeling on the ground, too pained to speak.

"Su Xiaofeng, I was the one who made a mistake back then. Yueyue is my only daughter. Please, don’t strike at the Lin Family," Luo Yuzhu cried out.

Standing in front of Su Xiaofeng, Captain Hong remarked, "It seems she truly is a competent mother."

"For Lin Yue, she is competent," Xiaofeng didn’t deny Luo Yuzhu’s maternal love for Lin Yue, "Who was driving the car that hit my elder brother? Do you have any leads on that?"

"Not yet, but I will notify you as soon as there’s news," Captain Hong put on his gloves, "How is your brother doing now?" He wondered if he should call Grandpa back.

After all, if Su Peng could be saved, it would definitely make Su Xiaofeng grateful to Grandpa.

"The doctor said he is out of critical condition, but there’s no guarantee his brain will recover to its previous state." In other words, he may never wake up, or perhaps, his IQ might be even lower.

Feeling sympathy for Su Peng, Captain Hong assured, "We’ll step up the investigation of the car accident. You should take care of the patient for now, and I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news."

"Alright, thank you."

...

Xiaofeng entered the space, where Xiaoqi had just absorbed some Spiritual Energy from the forest and looked to be in good spirits.

Sitting down on the grass, Xiaofeng watched Xiaoqi nibble on fruit and asked softly, "Xiaoqi, regarding the medicinal herb you mentioned that can repair nerves, is it necessary to wait until the baby is seven months along before it can grow? Could it possibly grow earlier?"

She didn’t want to wait; she wanted to try it now.

"Master," Xiaoqi leaped onto a branch opposite Xiaofeng, swinging her little crystal legs, "I’m not very clear about this. But since the master is carrying twins, some of the space’s functions might be activated earlier because of the intense maternal energy combined with the Spiritual Energy."

"What do you mean?"

"Because the master is carrying twins, the maternal energy you emanate will be stronger. When it merges with the Spiritual Energy in the space, it can automatically activate certain functions or even make some plants grow earlier."

Xiaofeng became hopeful, "Then how will I know if that medicinal herb has grown and can be used to save someone?"

She had no idea what the herb looked like or how to use it.

"There’s a Spiritual Mirror Medical Record inside. Look for the Revival Herb. It has a picture of the Revival Herb. Remember what it looks like, and wander around the forest more. Maybe you’ll find it,"

Xiaofeng looked at Xiaoqi pleadingly, "Xiaoqi, I know you’re the most capable. Could you please help me look for it? The forest is so vast, when will I ever find it by myself?"

The Spiritual Mirror Forest was immense; searching it bit by bit would take an unknown amount of time.

"Master," Xiaoqi looked helplessly at Xiaofeng and rolled her eyes, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t. You must do the searching yourself for it to work."

Xiaofeng blinked, feeling as though Xiaoqi might be fooling her, "Are you joking? You really mean I have to search myself?"

"Of course," Xiaoqi nodded, "The Revival Herb can repair nerves, but it also requires the rescuer’s utmost sincerity."

In fact, to use anything in the space, conditions had to be met; nothing was for free.

If the master wishes to save someone, naturally, she must offer equal sincerity.
