Chapter 104 Sad for My Husband

Lu Jiangnian saw through her thoughts at a glance.

He showed a sarcastic smile: "My lady, you think too much. I am very sober."

After a pause, he asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you believe me?"

"Is there really nothing to explain?"

Every word was clear and distinct, hitting her eardrums.

Her heart tightened and she was afraid to look at him.

His palm fell on her loose black hair: "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out."

The hand was very deft, sliding to the strap behind her neck and fiddling with it gently.

Yuan Wanru was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, fearing that he would accidentally break the thin strap of her bellyband.

Her pair of crystal eyes revealed shyness and helplessness: "Don't be impulsive."

The slender and soft little hand climbed up his arm and shook his arm gently: "Let's talk it over. Let me go first."

Lu Jiangnian's fingers tapped her back lightly, and his delicate touch fell on her smooth neck: "Your heart is beating very fast, I heard it."

"What are you afraid of, ma'am? Are you afraid that I will tear it apart?"

His voice was incredibly gentle, but his eyes were full of threat.

Strong and dangerous.

Yuan Wanru helplessly met his burning gaze: "You don't have to be angry. If I tell you, will you believe it?"

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe it?"

His palm covered her cheek, holding her pretty face with care: "Speak?"

His expression was serious and his eyes were intimate, which seemed forced, but made her feel like he was begging her.

So subtle.

This attitude did not disgust her.

Now that things have come to this, just tell him.

"The old lady fainted on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and never woke up the next day. I remembered a book I had read that mentioned a kind of Gu called 'Sleeping Nightmare Gu'."

His face turned stern, and his eyes, which had been full of tenderness just now, immediately showed a murderous look.

"Sleeping Nightmare Gu, what is this?"

She moved slightly, and her voice softened a little, like icing sugar: "Let's do this, I can't go on, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

At this moment, Lu Jiangnian no longer had those romantic thoughts in his mind, and he readily let her go.

"Well, please speak carefully."

Yuan Wanru said slowly, "This is a kind of Gu from southern Xinjiang. People who are poisoned by it will fall into a coma. If they can be cured in time, it won't cause much harm to the body."

He asked at the right time: "How long is timely?"

"No more than seven days."

Yuan Wanru explained to him: "Because, if a person who has been infected with the Sleep Nightmare Gu does not eat or drink for more than this period, the person's body functions will decline. Even if they wake up, their vitality will be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to recover as before."

"So, the sooner we can get rid of the poison, the better."

Lu Jiangnian pondered for a moment and said, "The medicine you mentioned before is actually a preparation for removing the poison?"

She nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

"What about the second prince?"

He has not forgotten this incident.

Yuan Wanru hesitated for a moment, but decided to express her feelings.

"I do suspect that the rumor is related to the Second Prince."

Lu Jiangnian did not laugh at her, nor did he directly deny her. Instead, he said calmly: "He has no reason to target you."

His reaction was much better than she expected.

"On the surface, he really had no reason to target me."

"But have you forgotten that Liang Yusong likes you, and he did it for Liang Yusong..."

Lu Jiangnian looked at her with amusement and reached out to rub the top of her head: "You think too much. The Second Prince is a rational person. He would not do such a ridiculous thing for the sake of his children's feelings."

Yuan Wanru pouted and slapped his hand off her hair: "I told you earlier, you wouldn't believe it even if I told you."

"If you don't believe it, don't ask me anymore."

She stood up, somewhat uninterested, and ignored him, moving toward the bed.

He grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and didn't let her leave.

"Angry?"

Lu Jiangnian also stood up and suddenly said, "Although it's ridiculous, I didn't say I wouldn't investigate."

She was very surprised to hear him say he would check.

"real?"

Facing her suspicious eyes, he curled his lips and smiled: "You are my wife, someone is targeting you, no matter who is behind it, I will investigate."

"It's just that you are the one who suspected me. It was beyond my expectation."

Yuan Wanru's eyes lit up and she gave him a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.

However, her smile froze when she heard his next words.

"My dear, which book did you read about the nightmare? Can you lend it to me and let me show it to others?"

Book……

Where can she be found in modern times?

"Maybe... I don't know... where I put it."

"I'll look for it tomorrow, but I may not be able to find it."

Lu Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his eyes full of scrutiny.

If you think about it carefully, the Yuan family is not a scholarly family, and Yuan Chuan has not read much.

No one in their Lu family studied medicine, Miaojiang was thousands of miles away, and books about Miaojiang's Gu were even less popular. How did she get this book?

Out of the blue, he asked, "Is there really a book?"

Yuan Wanru nodded with certainty: "Of course, otherwise how would I know."

He suddenly smiled, and there was something sinister about his smile.

"My lady, did you lie to me?"

"What if you can't find it?"

She was already feeling guilty, and now she didn't know how to answer.

He gave an awkward and forced smile: "No, I really looked for it. If I can't find it..."

"If you can't find it..."

He interrupted her and said, "If you can't find it, let me kiss you once."

"The rules are the same as last time. You can only kiss above the neck and kiss all night."

"If my lady has not lied to me and hands the book to me tomorrow, then all this is just my fantasy."

His voice was low and ruffian-like, his eyes were full of power, he stared at her without blinking, waiting for her answer.

Yuan Wanru thought this person was extremely bad.

Did he see through her lies and find ways to benefit himself?

They kissed all night long. Her lips were swollen from the last time and she couldn't even drink water the next day. He still wanted to do it again.

"Kiss for half an hour at most."

The book certainly cannot be changed, we can only reduce the losses.

Lu Jiangnian is not that easy to talk to.

"Madam, that's not how we calculate this account."

"That day in my grandmother's room, I already realized that my wife had deliberately sent me away. Although I felt sad, I still endured the grievance and cooperated with my wife."

"Today, you did not tell the truth at first regarding the suspected person in the rumor, and your heart was hurt once again."

"Is this book another lie?"

"My wife has hurt my sincerity time and again. In my opinion, one night is not enough. Three nights is about right."

His voice became aggrieved, like a deliberately pitiful little green tea: "You didn't give it to me for three nights, and you refused for one night. You actually want to turn it into half an hour. You have such a cruel heart."

He was clearly dominating the place just now, secretly threatening to tear off the straps of her bellyband.

Now it's like this again.

He switched between the two positions very smoothly and with ease.

Instead, she was a little confused.
