Chapter 374 - 373: There’s Someone Else Outside
Beisitian explained the situation, and the three members of the Tian Family fell silent. Indeed, this matter was quite difficult to handle.No matter whether the problem is solved or not, the Tian Family will be implicated. Although Tian Qinghui is in charge now, most of the time he will still discuss things with Tian Heming.
"Actually, there’s another way to deal with this," Tian Heming said after pondering for a while.
Beisitian looked up, "Grandpa, what way?"
"Report those Mystic Doctors to the higher-ups," Tian Heming suggested. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
Surprised, Beisitian then laughed. She truly had been confused; as a Mystic Doctor herself, her mind was only occupied with the conflicts among Mystic Doctors, completely forgetting about leveraging the power of the state.
No matter how formidable those Mystic Doctors are, they need people to drink their tainted water to do harm. They might be scary to other Mystic Doctors, but in front of the state, in front of the military, they are merely a group of malicious doctors. If the decision is made wholeheartedly and resources are committed, it’s not impossible to eradicate them.
Tian Heming wasn’t a Mystic Doctor, so his perspective wasn’t limited. He didn’t cling to the idea that Mystic Doctors should only be dealt with by other Mystic Doctors.
"I’ll handle this and write a report. Beibei should stick to the original plan," Tian Heming said.
Beisitian nodded. She was living comfortably in this life. Although she wanted to continue honing her medical skills, she didn’t want to get involved in the Mystic Doctors’ conflicts. This was why she was reluctant to see Tao Hailin and didn’t want to expose herself to the world.
Her current wish was to live peacefully with her man, occasionally treat patients, and eventually raise a little bun.
In her previous life, she wandered almost all her life, traveling from place to place. This time, she preferred to enjoy tranquility.
These thoughts surfaced after she met Luo Xudong.
As for her initial thoughts upon arriving here, wanting to see the world, she could still achieve them by touring with her man and leading a happy life with their little bun.
Beisitian smiled. If her master were here, he would probably agree with her thoughts. No one wished more than him for her to have a family.
After working nonstop in her previous life, she decided to take a break in this one.
Beisitian left Tian Heming’s living room without bothering to listen to their discussions, ready to return to her small courtyard. As she walked out, she saw Tian Qiu sitting alone on a stone bench outside.
Beisitian walked over and called gently, "Sister Qiu."
Tian Qiu regained her composure upon seeing Beisitian and smiled, "Beibei, why are you still here? Are you going back now? Let me escort you."
Beisitian noticed something was off about her expression but felt awkward asking more when she didn’t speak about it.
"Alright, Sister Qiu, let’s go."
Tian Qiu went to get the car, which was from the Weng Family. Weng Yong’an had specially bought it for her.
"Did Sister Qiu have an argument with Brother-in-law?"
In the car, Beisitian decided to ask since Tian Qiu had been distracted several times, and her smile seemed forced.
Tian Qiu’s smile vanished completely as she sighed, "We won’t have arguments."
Arguing is normal for married couples, but she and Weng Yong’an simply had a political marriage, so there’s no room for arguments.
Reflecting now, the Weng Family had once been displeased with her, yet they still considered the influence of the Tian Family and had Weng Yong’an propose. Knowing all this, she still agreed even when the Tian Family opposed it.
Now, all this was her own doing; whom could she blame?
Seeing Tian Qiu’s low spirits, Beisitian invited her over to her home.
With nowhere else to go and feeling awkward going back to her parents’ house to be seen in this state, Tian Qiu opted to stay with her.
Upon entering, Tian Qiu noticed not much had changed since the last time, maybe just a few more pieces of furniture but still empty, and felt a bit guilty.
"Look at this, I’ve been here for so many days yet didn’t even remember to take you shopping," Tian Qiu said, patting her forehead.
Beisitian smiled while pouring water, "I’ve been too busy to find time, what does it have to do with Sister Qiu? Speaking of which, my fifth aunt said she would accompany me shopping, yet I still haven’t made time."
Listening to her, Tian Qiu felt a bit better.
Tian Qiu held the steaming water cup, watching the steam rise, and unconsciously got lost in thought again.
"...Sister Qiu..." Beisitian called for the third time before Tian Qiu snapped back.
Beisitian remarked helplessly, "Instead of dazing off by yourself, why not talk it out for relief."
Tian Qiu’s expression fell, quickly replaced by a bitter smile, "I am embarrassed to mention it."
"Yet you find it comfortable to daydream here at my place," Beisitian said, moving a chair to sit in front of her.
Tian Qiu sighed, "Your brother-in-law... has an affair."
Beisitian paused, indeed it’s hard to mention. She asked, "How do you know?"
"I saw the letters between them," Tian Qiu answered.
Recalling the letter’s content made her sick; the woman directly called Weng Yong’an "hubby" and wrote some cheesy, even explicit messages.
"You only saw that woman’s letters?" Beisitian asked.
Tian Qiu nodded, "Weng Yong’an’s letters aren’t for my eyes, but if he hadn’t written something similar, the woman wouldn’t be bold enough to reply like that."
After saying that, she tried to console herself, "Oh well, we’ll eventually divorce. As long as General Zhou or the Tian Family get implicated, the Weng Family will surely have Weng Yong’an divorce me. So, whether he has someone outside or not, there’s no need to care much."
Beisitian looked at her forced smile. She said she didn’t care, but she clearly cared about Weng Yong’an!
"Fortunately, my feelings for Weng Yong’an aren’t that deep, not to the point of life and death," Tian Qiu said with a forced smile, only to find tears streaming down.
Beisitian sighed; she didn’t know the right advice for this kind of situation. Telling them to divorce? The damage divorce causes to women is unspeakable; telling her to endure is not something Beisitian herself would do, would she?
At this time, the door knocked, and Beisitian rose to open it. Tian Qiu wiped her eyes, feeling a bit self-conscious for crying in front of the young lady.
Beisitian walked through the yard, reaching the door, asked who it was, and heard the reply from outside. She opened the door, revealing Weng Yong’an standing outside.
"Is Xiaoqiu here with you?" Weng Yong’an asked.
He had been to the Tian Family, his father-in-law’s place, and didn’t find her. He was told she came to visit Beisitian, so he came here.
