Su Wan's face was deathly pale, and the veins on her neck were bulging. She gripped Qin Yi's hand tightly, with such force that she almost broke his fingers. She was in a strange posture, hunched over and curled up on the bed.

Qin Yi also held Su Wan's hand tightly. He, who was usually indifferent, was now extremely anxious. Cui Zhengming had just given Su Wan acupuncture, so how could it have flared up again so soon?

Qin Yi called out Su Wan's name urgently: "Wanwan, Wanwan..."

Su Wan kept her eyes closed and showed no sign of responding. Qin Yi could no longer hide it from Grandma Qin and turned to call out to Cui Zhengming, "Mr. Cui, could you please come and see Wanwan?"

Cui Zhengming pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bowl of herbal medicine. Grandma Qin followed behind him, her hands trembling slightly with nervousness as she looked at Su Wan with concern: "Wanwan..."

Cui Zhengming handed the medicine to Qin Yi: "Feed Wan'er first."

Qin Yi gently helped Su Wan up and whispered in her ear, "Wanwan, come and drink your medicine first."

At this moment, Su Wan felt as if her body didn't belong to her. She felt dizzy and disoriented, as if there was a fire burning inside her body, or as if she were soaking in ice water. She had a pulling sensation that felt like she was about to explode but was also about to freeze.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she listened to Qin Yi's voice almost unconsciously, swallowing the bitter soup down her throat.

Then I closed my eyes again, feeling drowsy.

Qin Yi watched as Su Wan gradually calmed down and breathed a long sigh of relief. Once Su Wan was completely asleep, he and Cui Zhengming exchanged a glance and went out the door at the same time.

Qin Yi helped Grandma Qin out the door, saying, "Grandma, don't worry, with Mr. Cui here, Wanwan will be fine."

After escorting Grandma Qin back to her room, Qin Yi couldn't wait to ask Cui Zhengming, "Mr. Cui, why did Wanwan have another attack so soon after her previous one?"

This is also a concern for Cui Zhengming.

Both were intelligent people, and their eyes met, revealing a subtle suspicion between them.

Cui Zhengming sighed, "It's basically certain that Zheng Qing is manipulating the Gu worms."

The person who uses Gu can control the Gu to achieve their goals and make the target obey them.

The fact that Su Wan's attacks are happening so frequently indicates that Zheng Qing is not dead and is trying to manipulate the Gu worms to harm Su Wan, but because they are far away, he cannot cause fatal damage to Su Wan.

But in the long run, Su Wan's body will definitely not be able to take it.

Cui Zhengming took a drag of his cigarette. At this moment, he was craving a cigarette and was trying to vent his frustration and uncertainty about how to break free from the curse.

Qin Yi remained silent for a long time, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Cui Zhengming comforted him, "The medicine I prepared can put the Gu worms in Wan Yatou's body into a short period of time. I will use this time to try other methods to remove her Golden Silkworm Gu."

The Golden Silkworm Gu is a high-level Gu worm, and only outstanding Gu masters can create it. It is said that the ancient witch clan created the Golden Silkworm Gu.

There are two types of Golden Silkworm Gu. One type has a soul and can help its master kill enemies or even control the actions of the person afflicted by the Gu.

Another type, when it first starts, causes the person to feel sharp, knife-like pain in their chest and even abdomen.

When the symptoms reach a certain point, the person will suffer more and more. If the person who casts the Gu poison wants to take the person's life, they can use the Gu worm to make the person bleed from all seven orifices and die.

Based on various analyses, Cui Zhengming falls into the second category, which is insufficient to control Su Wan's will to act.

But the fact that he made Su Wansheng wish she were dead every now and then was enough for him to negotiate with Qin Yi.

Su Wan has the Gu worms of the Zhengqing, and Qin Yi cannot bear to see Su Wan in pain and do nothing about it. This is equivalent to having Qin Yi in his grasp.

Given Qin Yi's sensitive position and Zheng Qing's ulterior motives, it's safe to say they were quite insidious.

Qin Yi clearly understood the stakes involved.

Qin Yi thanked Cui Zhengming solemnly, "I'll leave the rest of Wanwan's affairs to Mr. Cui."

"I will do my best."

Qin Yi returned to his room. Was Su Wanzheng there?

I chatted with Mr. Cui for a few minutes.

Su Wan understood immediately. "Mr. Cui, do you have any ideas?"

"Mr. Cui said that today's medicine can put the Gu worms into a temporary slumber, and he will try to find a way to resolve this matter during this time."

Qin Yi patiently explained Cui Zhengming's words to Su Wan, assuring her that both Cui Zhengming and he would try their best to help Su Wan get rid of the curse as soon as possible.

Seeing Su Wan's pained expression, he wished he could take her pain upon himself.

Su Wan knew that she was now under a spell, which meant she had handed over leverage to someone else. Zheng Qing would definitely use her to control Qin Yi. As for what he wanted Qin Yi to do, Su Wan didn't know, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

She suddenly felt that fate was very unfair to her. When she was a child, her adoptive mother treated her harshly. After returning to the Su family, her parents and brother looked down on her, and Su Qing also looked down on her.

She married Qin Yi, who was lame, and was prepared to spend her life with him. But she never expected that Qin Yi would recover, and then this would happen to her.

Why should she suffer such an unfair life?

Having suffered such an unfair life, why couldn't she find a way to overcome this difficulty? She was never one to resign herself to fate.

She likes to take control of her own destiny.

She likes to rely on herself, but she is not only self-reliant.

We constantly preach that women hold up half the sky and advocate for female independence, but on the other hand, don't men also depend on women?

Why is it considered natural for men to rely on women for laundry, cooking, and childbirth, while it's seen as women depending on men and being dependent on them?!

Su Wan felt that relying on a man was not shameful; it was based on feelings and each person got what they needed.

Composing herself, she coughed lightly and said weakly, "Qin Yi, let's...get a divorce."

Qin Yi's hand, which was tidying the bed, froze. He stared at Su Wan stiffly, his expression unreadable. He looked at Su Wan, and Su Wan looked at him.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

Su Wan was the first to look away, a sneer flashing through her mind. They still couldn't escape the fate of being birds of a feather, flying away separately when disaster strikes.

I originally thought Qin Yi would be an exception, but now it's really ironic.

He seems like a responsible man, but he can't escape worldly constraints.

Su Wan propped herself up on her arms and turned to lie down. Qin Yi reached out to help her, letting her lean her weight on him. Su Wan struggled for a moment, but found she couldn't break free, so she let him help her. However, she still felt a little unhappy.

From the outside, Su Wan's upper body was being held in Qin Yi's arms.

He looked at Su Wan and said with utmost seriousness, "You can forget about getting rid of me!"

"I'm yours in life and in death, I'm yours forever. You've slept with me for so long for nothing, and now you don't want to take responsibility? Let me tell you, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

Qin Yi had said similar things before, and Su Wan had only thought he was trying to make her happy and laugh. But now, Su Wan felt that Qin Yi was serious.

Qin Yi spoke earnestly and solemnly, as if he were making an oath.

"Su Wan, remember this: we are husband and wife, a legally married couple."
