Without any evidence, the Wei Family couldn’t blindly believe Jiangli, and they certainly couldn’t take this set of claims to demand an explanation from the Liang Family.
Evidence was definitely needed.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli spoke in a calm voice, "There is a way."
After speaking, she looked towards Qing Yue.
"You’re a Taoist Doctor, do you have silver needles on you?"
Although Jiangli’s question was a query, her gaze was firm, as if she was certain Qing Yue carried silver needles with him.
Qing Yue smiled playfully and reached into his bag to pull out a small cloth pouch, handing it to Jiangli.
Jiangli opened it to see various silver needles.
With the pouch in hand, Jiangli then asked the Wei Family, "Do you have incense at home? The kind used for Buddhist rituals, any kind will do."
"Yes, yes, yes, when I went to buy those ornaments, I brought back a lot of incense, planning to worship Buddha three times a day and pray for his blessing," the owner of the Wei Family said, turning around and walking quickly to a shelf behind the living room, from which he took a box of incense and handed it to Jiangli.
"Abbot, do you think this incense will do?"
Jiangli took it, "Any incense will do, as long as it’s incense."
She pulled out an incense stick, gave it a flick, and it ignited on its own.
Wisps of incense smoke drifted out.
The eyes of several Wei Family members went wide.
Wei Qingran was somewhat unable to react.
As Jiangli brought the incense closer to her nose, she said, "The Child-Inducing Drug, though named a drug, is actually a combination of a Child-Inducing Talisman with seven kinds of essence worms and the condensed blood of a man and woman; therefore, verifying it is not difficult."
She placed the incense under Wei Qingran’s nose, then fanned with her other hand.
The smoke wafted into Wei Qingran’s nostrils in bursts.
Upon seeing this, Jiangli took out a silver needle and decisively inserted it into the right side of Wei Qingran’s neck.
Wei Qingran’s body stiffened, not knowing if it was the effect of the silver needle or the incense smoke, she suddenly felt nauseous.
Everyone watched Wei Qingran without blinking.
But then Jiangli suddenly said, "Back away a little."
Xia Xin subconsciously looked at Jiangli.
Before he could come to his senses, Qing Yue’s eyes flashed with an insight as if he knew something, and he yanked Xia Xin up from the couch.
Despite his delicate appearance and slender frame, he was incredibly strong, lifting Xia Xin as if he were a small chick, pulling him directly off the couch.
Xia Xin had yet to steady himself when Wei Qingran suddenly retched, her body tilting to the side, and with a heave, she vomited a large amount of filth.
That mass of filth landed exactly where Xia Xin had just been seated.
Xia Xin could not help but look over.
He saw that what Wei Qingran had vomited were specks of solid material that at first glance looked like chocolate beans.
But upon closer examination, they were clearly curled up, sun-dried worms.
Xia Xin’s scalp tingled, his stomach churned, and he almost threw up as well.
The owner of the Wei Family and his wife also saw clearly what was inside; both of them started screaming at once.
"Abbot, what is this?"
"Qingran, how did you swallow these things?"
At that moment, Wei Qingran had just stopped retching, staring blankly at the filth on the couch and the floor, unable to understand what was happening.
She had never eaten these things...
How, how did these things end up inside her?
While Wei Qingran was dumbfounded, Jiangli took the initiative to clarify their doubts, "Since it was drugging, there must have been a trick involved. The so-called tonic might have used a Blinding Technique to make it look like a normal herbal soup, but once ingested, the soup would revert to its original form, the actual Child-Inducing Drug."
