Su Wan was soaking in the bathtub, her face covered in sweat and flushed red. She felt her pores opening up one by one. Although the Gu worms inside her were also stirring, they did not cause her as much pain as when they were having an attack.

The Gu worm seemed to be imprisoned in Su Wan's heart, as docile as a little lamb. Apart from a slight palpitation, Su Wan felt that it was still very obedient.

Qin Yi, on the other hand, was on edge as he watched Su Wan soaking in the medicine tub, keeping a close eye on her condition.

Li Xiaohong laughed and joked, "Don't be so nervous, she'll be fine."

Qin Yi coughed to shift his embarrassment; he dared not let his guard down.

...

On the other side, Chen Qianlan had just finished stitching up Jiang Baiyuan. She looked at Jiang Baiyuan with some worry, fearing that he would develop a fever tonight given his current condition.

Cui Zhengming shared the same concerns as Chen Qianlan. He worried that if Zhengqing's men launched another counterattack at night, they would be in a very passive position.

Jiang Baiyuan opened his eyes and saw Chen Qianlan. His dry lips curled up, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Qianlan, are you alright?"

Chen Qianlan was taking the water Lin Changchun handed her when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then gently shook her head. "I'm fine. Here, have some water."

Jiang Baiyuan glanced at Lin Changchun, who was standing beside him watching him intently. He leaned forward slightly, frowned slightly, and hissed softly. Chen Qianlan asked with concern, "Did you pull on your wound? Does it hurt?"

Jiang Baiyuan was in real pain, but given his constitution, it wasn't nearly as bad as it seemed. He groaned and lay back down, his chest heaving: "It hurts~."

Chen Qianlan moved a step closer to him, picked up the spoon in the bowl, and fed him water spoonful by spoonful.

Lin Changchun silently gave Jiang Baiyuan a thumbs up. At this moment, Jiang Baiyuan was weak and helpless, and the ice queen Chen Qianlan took good care of him. Lin Changchun's eyes were full of "Shameless is invincible!"

He said that the reason Jiang Baiyuan had given him a wink earlier was because he didn't want him to get close. Jiang Baiyuan was cunning and treacherous, and he was still restless even after being injured!

Su Shikun brought in hot water and gently knocked on the door of Su Wan's room.

Su Wan and Qin Yi heard a knock on the door. Perhaps it was the effect of the medicinal bath, but Su Wan was incredibly clear-headed and her hearing was exceptionally sharp.

Qin Yi turned to open the door. The small bamboo door opened from the inside, and Su Shikun stood outside with a basin of hot water. He smiled broadly when he saw Qin Yi and said, "Brother-in-law, I brought some hot water."

Su Shikun smiled warmly, showing the love and care of an older brother for his younger sister. He went to boil water and bring it to his sister to expel the poison from her body. Anyone who saw him would praise him as a good brother.

But only Su Wan and Qin Yi know what kind of person he really is!

I just hope to make up for the harm done to Su Wan as much as possible.

Qin Yi took the hot water from Su Shikun and thanked him politely, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Su Shikun's voice was low and deep, as if he was worried about Su Wan, "Don't say that. I'm the older brother. My heart is breaking for Wanwan now. If I could take her place, I would rather be the one who was poisoned by the curse."

Su Shikun spoke with utmost seriousness and deep emotion.

Su Wan couldn't help but sneer inwardly; he probably wished she would die sooner.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Wan came out of the medicine tub. Qin Yi stared at her anxiously, afraid that something might happen to her. Li Xiaohong comforted her, "She'll be fine tonight. Just get a good night's sleep and rest, and then we can remove the Gu."

Upon hearing this, Su Shikun breathed a long sigh of relief and asked Su Wan with concern, "Wanwan, how are Mom and Dad?"

Su Wan gave a mocking smirk as she looked Su Shikun up and down. "I thought you knew whether Mom and Dad were good or not."

She put it very bluntly: before Su Wan and Qin Yi came out, Qin Yi had called the Su family. Su Chengde was in the hospital taking care of the sick Han Hongmei, who had fallen ill because of Su Shikun.

Disrespectful and unfilial, his indifference towards his own parents was outrageous. Han Hongmei was heartbroken and couldn't understand how she had raised such an ungrateful son.

Especially Su Shikun's words, which were like knives cutting into Han Hongmei's heart, specifically targeting her sore spots.

The way he hated Han Hongmei showed absolutely no motherly affection.

Even the most mortal enemies are no more than this!

It's hard to say how much humanity Su Shikun still retains.

Su Chengde aged suddenly, and he deeply regretted not disciplining Su Shikun more when he was a child. Now he couldn't discipline him at all.

Su Shikun regarded the couple as enemies, and he had lost all hope for his son.

Hearing Su Wan's blunt reply, a flash of hatred crossed Su Shikun's eyes, and the warmth in his gaze towards Su Wan disappeared, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.

A moment later, he suppressed all the emotions in his eyes and looked at Su Wan apologetically, as if he wasn't the one who had those emotions just now.

"Wanwan, it was all my fault before. I had no choice. If I don't stand up to my parents, they will force me to ask them for money endlessly, which will drive them to their death."

"Wanwan, I'm telling the truth. Look at my body covered in injuries..."

Su Shikun's explanation was perfectly flawless, as if he were the victim, that everything he did was forced upon him, that he was a good son, a good brother, and a good person.

Su Wan remained silent, simply looking at him calmly. Su Shikun felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and tried to find a topic to ease his embarrassment, "Brother-in-law, look at Wanwan, she really hasn't changed a bit even after getting married. She's so stubborn, please be more understanding."

Qin Yi leaned closer to Su Wan with his straight posture, naturally taking her hand and speaking in a doting and gentle tone: "It's Wanwan who has always tolerated my temper and helped me take care of Grandma. I should be thanking her."

Su Shikun's smile, which was waiting for Qin Yi to agree, froze on his face. He cursed under his breath. He realized that the two of them were his nemesis. Su Wan was a bitch, and so was Qin Yi.

Composing himself, Su Shikun chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You're right, you're right, I misspoke. Our Wanwan is the most sensible one."

Su Wan couldn't help but look up at Su Shikun. People who can bend and stretch should not be underestimated. In the past, Su Shikun would only get angry when he encountered problems, but now Su Shikun was uncharacteristically different. He not only admitted his mistakes, but also generously praised Su Wan.

Abnormal.

This is particularly unusual, and Su Shikun's unusual behavior should serve as a warning.

Dogs that bite usually don't bark.

The most deadly thing is when someone suddenly bites you.

Qin Yi chimed in, "Big brother is right, Wanwan is indeed outstanding and sensible."

Despite being adept at polite conversation, Su Shikun failed to gain any favor. He greeted her with a smile throughout, and finally went to the yard under the pretext of wanting to get some fresh air.

Su Wan and Qin Yi came to see Jiang Baiyuan. He was lying on the bed, his face pale, and even in his sleep, he held Chen Qianlan's hand tightly.

When Chen Qianlan saw Su Wan coming over, she was a little embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, but Jiang Baiyuan held it even tighter, making Chen Qianlan blush even more.
