In her previous life, she was very interested in this kind of poison. However, she did not find this kind of poison in her previous world. Unexpectedly, she found it in this world, and it was on her body.
She recalled the contents of the ancient book as she processed the herbs.
This type of poison was called scorpion poison. It was made from the most poisonous venom extracted from hundreds of scorpions and was also known as the Hundred Poison King. Although it wouldn’t immediately kill someone, it would slowly eat away at their body. Even if Song Jiaren wasn’t killed by someone, she probably wouldn’t live for long.
Those who were poisoned would not be able to detect any poison on their bodies. Their bodies would slowly change over time, becoming fat and growing large black spots. As it was not formed in a day, no one would suspect that they were poisoned.
If not for the fact that she had seen this poison before and studied it, she probably wouldn’t have discovered it in such a short period of time.
According to the memories she had seen before, the person who poisoned her and Song Chuyan wanted them to be poisoned. In other words, the other party’s goal was to turn both her and Song Chuyan into cripples, so they were targeting the Song family.
Enemies of the Song family… She had to ask Song Meiyu about this.
Song Jiaren shook her head, throwing out all the thoughts to the back of her mind. There was a set of medicinal herbs on the table. This was the medicinal bath that she had concocted. Song Jiaren had been poisoned for too long, and directly detoxifying the poison might damage her body. She could only slowly nourish her body. This medicinal bath was the best choice.
Song Jiaren walked into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with hot water. She stretched out her hand and tried it. The heat of the water made her hiss softly.
However, this temperature was just right for her to take a medicinal bath. She was quite satisfied with this.
She placed the medicinal herbs that she had prepared in order. The clear water quickly turned black. Coupled with the steam that came out, it looked like a witch’s potion.
A hint of resistance flashed across Song Jiaren’s eyes, but she still pinched her nose and went into the water. As the water reached her neck, a slight stinging pain could be felt.
This medicinal bath was indeed beneficial to the body, but the smell was really too pungent. As time passed, the stinging pain on her skin became more and more obvious. The only part of Song Jiaren’s face that was exposed was already completely flushed.
She clenched her teeth tightly and closed her eyes as she endured the pain in her body. She knew that if she couldn’t even get past this stage, she wouldn’t be able to get rid of the poison in her body.
This poison was very toxic, and it was very difficult to detoxify it. The pain of detoxification alone was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Song Jiaren clenched her fists tightly. Blood had already seeped out of the corner of her mouth from how hard she was biting. Blood trickled down her lips and dripped into the water.
The water in the bath slowly became clear again. Feeling the pain on her body lessen, Song Jiaren opened her eyes. As she relaxed, she smelled an even more pungent smell that instantly filled the entire bathroom.
Song Jiaren lowered her head and saw a layer of black stains on her skin. Only then did she realize that the smell came from her.
“It stinks.” She couldn’t help but complain.
She quickly drained the water and carefully washed her body three times. Only after her skin was completely flushed did she stop in satisfaction. She did not bother to check the changes in her body and dragged her exhausted body to the big bed in the room.
The moment she laid down on the bed, she fell asleep. Today, she fainted, dreamed, and recalled the past. Then, she followed the man in black to meet that dangerous man. After that, she detoxified herself. All sorts of things had consumed all her energy.
Song Jiaren, who had fallen into a deep sleep, hugged the blanket in her arms and rubbed against it comfortably with a warm smile on her face. Although this was an unfamiliar world, she felt a sense of belonging with Song Meiyu. She would definitely protect her mother.
At noon the next day, she got out of bed and stretched. The sunlight that shone through the curtains made her squint her eyes. She rubbed her empty stomach and went into the bathroom.
After washing up casually, she left the room.
“You—” Song Youyou looked at her face in shock.
Even Song Meiyu was surprised. “Baby, you… seem to be different.”
These words received the approval of the four people. They all looked at Song Jiaren’s face.
Song Jiaren touched her face and felt something smooth under her palm. She couldn’t help but touch it a few more times.
Her skin was really amazing. Song Jiaren’s skin was already not bad to begin with.. Now that she had taken a medicinal bath and expelled some poison, her skin was even more smooth and soft.
