Chapter 79: Pheasant Wants to Become a Phoenix

"Prince, is there any medicine you would like?"

Chu Huaixu didn't know how to answer the question.

If we say what he wants most, it is naturally to completely heal his body.

But he knew that there was little hope for this at the moment.

It would be of great benefit for him to have more contact with Yu Youning every day.

At least, he was no longer afraid of the cold as in previous years.

At this time last year, everyone else was wearing light clothes, but he was still wearing a fox fur coat.

But now, he was wearing spring clothes.

Although it couldn't compare to the thin and light material on Yu Youning's body, it was still much better than being wrapped like a bear.

This is all because of Yu Youning!

He will definitely find out the truth about the identity of Lin Ruoli, the girl of destiny.

He will definitely give Yu Youning an explanation!

Yu Youning waited for a long time, but Chu Huaixu didn't answer. She felt strange and asked, "Why don't you say anything? Don't you want anything?"

Chu Huaixu smiled and shook his head, "Yes, I really don't have anything I want."

Meeting Youning was already the luckiest thing in his life, and he didn't dare ask for more.

Yu Youning didn't expect that after waiting for such a long time, he only heard such a sentence, which made him even more confused.

"Since you don't want anything, I'll give you some of the pills I made!"

Yu Youning waved her hand and made the decision happily.

When Lord Wen heard Yu Youning's words, his heart trembled.

Although he had not seen Yu Youning in the past two years, he had been exchanging letters with the master of Yaowang Valley.

He was very clear about how talented Yu Youning was and how strong his medical skills were.

The pills made by Yu Youning himself are surprisingly effective. Many people in the world pay a large sum of money to get the medicine, but many people cannot get it.

But now, Yu Youning gave it to the prince so generously!

This is really...

Marshal Wen couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply stopped paying attention to the two of them and said to the housekeeper who had rushed back, "Find a suitable room and arrange a few people to be on standby. Prepare whatever Youning needs immediately."

The butler nodded repeatedly and respectfully asked Yu Youning and the prince to leave.

As soon as they left, Marshal Wen was the only one left in the room.

He took out the jade pendant that King Huainan had given him, looked at it, and temporarily put it away for Yu Youning, intending to give it back to Yu Youning later.

As soon as I saw the jade pendant, I couldn't help but think of those people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Especially the Marquis of Yong'an, he is so shameless.

He even dared to come up to me with his face licked!

If he hadn't cared about Tingwan and Youning's reputation, he would have slapped them in the face today!

The more Marshal Wen thought about it, the more he wanted to do it. Finally, he strode to the training ground and beat a straw man to death, only to calm down his anger.

Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The group returned to the mansion and sat down in the main courtyard. Everyone was in a bad mood and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.

After a few breaths, the Marquis' wife cried softly, "It's all my fault..."

Marquis Yong'an felt annoyed when he heard the crying. "Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? You shouldn't have given birth to that rebellious girl! Not only did she disown her parents, but now she's allowing Yu Youning and Li'er to snatch the crown prince away. You're totally shameless!"

Lin Siqiong looked at the Marquis of Yong'an, then at his wife, and lowered her head in grievance. "You can't blame my sister entirely. It's because I took her place that she's so angry."

"Sister!" Lin Yu interrupted Lin Siqiong disapprovingly, "Don't say that. What does this have to do with you? It's Yu Tingwan who's so greedy and wants everything! Just wait and see. If she dares to let Yu Youning snatch Li'er away, I'll make sure both mother and daughter pay the price!"

After saying that, Lin Yu turned around and walked out with big strides.

"Yu'er!"

The Marquis's wife exclaimed, and quickly stood up to chase after him.

But she couldn't walk as fast as Lin Yu, so she could only stare at Lin Yu's back.

Marquis Yong'an pinched his brows and ordered the butler, "Hurry up and find a few smart servants to follow him, don't let the young master get hurt. As for the rest... let him do whatever he wants."

"My Lord!" The Marquis's wife looked at the Marquis of Yong'an in surprise and confusion, "How could you not let someone take care of it? What if Yu'er gets hurt?"

"Don't worry, Yu Tingwan wouldn't dare do anything to Yu'er. He's her own brother. If she really did something, not even the Wen family would be able to protect her!"

The Marquis's wife's expression did not ease.

Although Yong'an Hou said this with certainty, it was clear that he was gambling with Lin Yu's safety!

Lin Yu finally stopped vomiting. He lost a lot of weight and hasn’t gained it back yet. Nothing can happen again!

Marquis Yong'an had made up his mind. Without waiting for his wife to say anything, he stood up and walked away in big strides.

The Marquis's wife is not a person with her own ideas. She either listens to the Marquis of Yong'an or Lin Siqiong.

Now that Yong'an Hou is gone, she can only look at Lin Siqiong with tears in her eyes, "Siqiong, what should we do? What if something happens to Yu'er? Find Yu'er back as soon as possible!"

Lin Siqiong hurriedly helped Madam Hou sit down, "Don't worry, mother, I will send someone to go, and nothing will happen!"

Although his voice was extremely gentle, he was sneering in his heart.

Lin Yu was standing up for her and Lin Ruoli, so how could she possibly stop him?

And the Marquis' wife usually seemed to care about her and love her very much, but once she got involved with Lin Yu, her attitude changed completely.

In Mrs. Hou's heart, Lin Yu is the most important!

No matter how well she does or how hard she tries, she can never be on par with Lin Yu.

Since Lin Yu was alive, she couldn't get what she wanted.

What if something happened to Lin Yu?

If Lin Yu were to die at the hands of Yu Tingwan, the Marquis' Mansion would fight Yu Tingwan to the death.

By then, she and Li'er would be the only remaining heirs of the Marquisate, the hope of the entire Marquisate. Both the Marquis of Yong'an and his wife would have to desperately support them...

Lin Siqiong's eyes flashed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. "Mother, I'll send someone out to check on the situation. Don't worry too much. I'm tired today. Let me help you rest!"

The Marquis' wife was indeed exhausted today. Hearing Lin Siqiong's words, her fatigue immediately surged over her. "Okay, I'll rest for a while. But Siqiong, you should take someone to check it out yourself. I don't trust anyone else."

The coldness in Lin Siqiong's eyes flashed away, but she smiled and agreed, "Okay. Don't worry, mother, you lie down and I'll go."

Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Siqiong went to see Lin Ruoli first, and after comforting Lin Ruoli, she led her people out of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

She did not go looking for Lin Yu, but went to a secluded alley and entered an inconspicuous courtyard.

After entering the upper room of the courtyard and lifting the straw mat on the kang, a wooden door was revealed.

Open it and there is an entrance to a staircase leading down.

Lin Siqiong walked in expressionlessly, walked along the dark passage for a quarter of an hour, and finally saw the light again.

At this time, she was already in the study of the Shen residence.

Lin Siqiong walked out from behind the bookshelf and headed forward. Before she had gone far, she heard a woman's giggling voice.

"Chen Lang...it's so itchy...please..."

Then, Shen Qingmo's voice rang out, "Is this what you are asking of me? Won't you cry in a moment?"

"Good man, please forgive me..."

"That won't work unless you—"

Lin Siqiong's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She couldn't bear to listen any longer and slammed the bookshelf next to her.

The sound came suddenly and scared the two people in front.

After a burst of giggling, hurried footsteps were heard, followed by the sound of doors opening and closing.

After a while, Shen Qingmo's voice, which had returned to its calm and cool state, rang out in the study, "Why are you here at this time?"

Lin Siqiong walked forward and sneered, "Is there any need to choose a time to come and see my husband?"

Shen Qingmo sat leisurely at the desk, his clothes were a little messy, and his fair face was slightly flushed.

He glanced at Lin Siqiong coldly, his eyes full of mockery, "Husband? If you came to see your husband, why didn't you go through the main gate openly? Why did you have to come through this secret passage?

You are not here to find your husband, you are here to find a knife to do your dirty work. Don't say those high-sounding words, just tell me directly, what do you want me to do?

Shen Qingmo’s attitude made Lin Siqiong angry.

"Chen Qingmo! Do you really have to talk to me like this? How have I wronged you? If you hadn't married me back then, you would probably still be struggling in your position as a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Revenue. Would you have achieved what you have today?"

"If I hadn't given birth to Li'er, would you have been able to gain the respect of the Minister of Revenue?"

"I don't ask for love from you, but you should at least be a good father, right? Look at you now, how often do you go to see Li'er? Have you ever thought about how sad Li'er will be when you do this?"

Lin Siqiong became more and more angry as she questioned him. Her eyes turned red and her voice trembled.

Shen Qingmo was not moved at all, and there was even a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Since you brought it up, let's talk it over. How did you deceive me back then, saying you were the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate? And what happened? You're nothing but a pheasant! And you still dream of turning into a phoenix!"

"As for Li'er, whether it's because of Li'er that I got what I want, or because Li'er has relied on me as her father to achieve her current status, we both know it very well!"

Listening to Shen Qingmo's words, Lin Siqiong looked at him as if she wanted to eat him. She walked quickly to him and slapped him hard in the face.

"I think you're crazy!"

Lin Siqiong's voice was harsh.

"Chen Qingmo, I don't care whether you hate me or blame me, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If we want to live, we live together, and if we want to die, we can only die together! Don't think of staying out of this!"

Shen Qingmo's skin was white, and the five finger marks were very obvious at this time.

But Shen Qingmo didn't care, and even his expression didn't change at all, "Speaking of which, what else do you want me to do?"

"Take your people and go find Lin Yu, see what he's going to do, and then help him. Once the plan is done, send Lin Yu off to make it look like both sides are hurt. Do you understand?"

When Shen Qingmo heard this, the expression on his face finally changed.

He stared at Lin Siqiong for a while, and suddenly laughed softly.

"You really haven't changed at all! You're so cruel and ruthless!"
