Chapter 1675
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "You have put the cart before the horse. Do you know why my incense is called 'Heart Demon'?" She smiled faintly. "Because this incense allows the deepest thoughts in one's heart to enter their dreams. Of course, it is just a dream, but it is also the most sincere reaction of a person's heart."
Zhu Yanyi paused. "If she did not have this thought in her heart, if she did not have the intention to kill my grandfather, then the dream would not be like this. Whether the dream is good or bad depends on the secrets in one's heart. That is why I named this incense 'Heart Demon'."
"Making this incense cost me a lot of medicinal materials. If it were not for this person, I would not have lit this 'Heart Demon'. In a way, I let her off cheaply." Zhu Yanyi looked at them with an expression that said, Don't be ungrateful.
You didn't have to use this incense, Zhu Yongfu, Zhu Jinfu, and Zhu Shenfu thought in unison, except for those on Zhu Shun Yao’s side.
Zhu Yanyi pretended not to see their thoughts and continued, "With this incense, you can get what you want in your dreams, revealing your truest selves to you."
"You said 'truest.' Is it also true that you killed the Zhu family of Zhushi in the dream?" Zhu Yongfu had calmed down by now. Or rather, after experiencing the appearance of Zhu Xinfu, hearing Zhu Yanyi’s story, and the warning from the Heart Demon, he had cooled off. He knew that currently, the real targets were the few people in front of him in reality. Whether it was Zhu Xinfu, Zhu Yanyi, or Zhu Shun Yao, as long as they were all left here, everything in the dream could still be changed.
Zhu Yanyi stared at Zhu Yongfu. Although there was no expression on her face, from the increasingly fierce look in her eyes, Zhu Yanyi saw that Zhu Yongfu had likely harbored murderous intent.
Murderous intent? Zhu Yanyi sneered in her heart. She was least afraid of someone having murderous intent toward her. As long as that person was willing to bear all the consequences, so what if they harbored such intent?
Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Yongfu, curious to see what she would do next.
A fierce light appeared in Zhu Yongfu’s eyes. He would not allow anyone to spread this secret. Perhaps this secret had become his nightmare and his obsession for life, but he did not want to change. For him, he mostly wanted people to know how good the Zhu family of Zhushi was. His only obsession was that the Zhu family of Zhushi must not fall.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. In her past life, because she lacked ability, and because Zhu Shun Yao was just a small farmer, she only heard of how prosperous Zhushi was until old age. Of course, the Zhu family of Zhushi also became an old aristocratic family in the area. It could be said that in the previous life, Zhu Yongfu was actually successful. No one knew what happened to Zhu Xinfu in the end, but it was nothing more than death.
But in this life, because of her rebirth, the fate of the Zhu family had changed. Whether it was the rise of the Zhu family in Sicheng Town or the decline of the Zhu family in Zhushi, the source was still on her. But she did not mind this. Since she had made her choice, walking this path was very normal.
Zhu Yongfu looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, originally I only wanted to send you away safely. After you left, I would not make things difficult for you. You would go your way, and I would go mine. But unfortunately, you know the secret of the Zhu family. Since that is the case, do not blame us. I have no choice but to ask you all to stay. The Zhu family of Zhushi is not a place where just anyone can enter."
Zhu Yongfu took out a bamboo whistle and blew it. In an instant, many people arrived, men and women, old and young. Zhu Yanyi looked at them, smiled slightly, and was not panicked at all. She only looked at Zhu Yongfu and said, "Old Mr. Zhu, are you really going to attack us?"
"No choice. I cannot let you leave here with the secret of the Zhu family of Zhushi." Zhu Yongfu’s face was full of killing intent. What he wanted to do was to pull up the weeds and dig out the roots. This time, he would absolutely not be foolish enough to leave anyone alive.
Zhu Yanyi chuckled softly, then looked at Zhu Yongfu and said, "Old Mr. Zhu, have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Zhu Yongfu frowned slightly.
"You forgot that I am a doctor." Zhu Yanyi sighed, looked at the people at the door, and then said, "You were once my patients. I cured you, but now you come out to fight against me."
There was a trace of guilt on those people's faces. One of them said, "Little Divine Doctor, we are sorry. We must fight for the Zhu family."
"Stubborn people are never worth saving." Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly, then said, "Actually, my combat power is very high, but I have always disliked fighting and killing. So for enemies, I always like to use the simplest and most convenient methods." Zhu Yanyi moved her wrist, looked at Zhu Yongfu, and said, "Mr. Zhu Yongfu, thank you for gathering these people. To tell the truth, I originally wanted to let them go, but they do not want a way out themselves. Since they do not want it, then there is no need for a way out."
After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, her figure flashed, and she disappeared from in front of them. Before they could understand, they only felt their strength disappearing, and then one by one, they fell to the ground.
"You killed them." Zhu Yongfu’s face changed as she saw Zhu Yanyi’s move.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zhu Yongfu. "Don't worry, they are not dead, but it is almost the same as death. Have you heard of euthanasia? They will slowly die in their sleep." Zhu Yanyi was actually lying. Saying these people were not dead was a lie. She never left any room for error when killing. However, since Xie Xinlian and others were still present, she concealed the truth.
They had naturally heard of the term euthanasia. In some foreign countries, people tortured by illness lived worse than dead, so they sought death. After injecting euthanasia, life seemed to breathe, but it was already brain death. Once a person is confirmed to be brain dead, it means they are truly dead.
"I did not use the Western kind of medicine. I used my own developed euthanasia medicine, which currently only I have. I like to call it 'Dream Return.' Sounds nice, right?" Zhu Yanyi even had the mood to discuss with them whether the name of the medicine sounded good.
Zhu Xinfu looked at Zhu Yanyi from the side and remained silent. She could now confirm that her granddaughter must have killed people, otherwise she would not have such a strong mentality. Although this was euthanasia, it was still death. Zhu Xinfu even thought in her heart that if it were not for the presence of female relatives like Huang Meiying, the people here would not have just suffered euthanasia.
What Zhu Xinfu thought was actually not wrong at all. Zhu Yanyi used 'Dream Return' out of helplessness. She preferred to use poison, and 'Dream Return' was just a failed product when refining a certain poison.
