Chapter 169 Exposed
When Zhou Li handed the child to Lu Qingyun, she deliberately touched the back of Lu Qingyun's hand with her fingertips. She heard that Lu Qingyun was allergic to women, but she didn't believe it, otherwise how could Lu Qingyun get married now.
Lu Qingyun frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He turned around, walked to Ling Yao, and handed the child to her.
Everyone was shocked to see this scene.
"Captain Lu, what are you going to do?" Zhou Li came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the child back from Ling Yao.
Lu Qingyun stepped forward and stopped Zhou Li. "I told you my wife is a doctor and she can save Xiaoyu."
Ling Yao took out a silver needle from her pocket and looked at the kid pretending to be unconscious in her arms jokingly. "Little guy, if you don't wake up, I'm going to give you an injection."
As soon as she finished speaking, the child who was lying quietly in Ling Yao's arms suddenly jumped up . The ground trembled, and his tightly closed eyes slightly opened. When he saw the silver needle in Ling Yao's hand, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He shook his head and struggled, trying to break free from Ling Yao's arms, "I don't want the injection, I don't want the injection, I'm fine... Mom, save me... I don't want the injection..." He was most afraid of injections.
Seeing this, Zhou Li panicked and hurriedly wanted to take the child back, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu, Mom is here."
Lu Qingyun blocked her way.
Ling Yao lightly tapped her fingers, and the struggling child immediately stopped moving.
With a smile on her lips, she lowered her head and stared at the frightened little face in her arms: "You don't have to get the injection, as long as you tell your sister whether there is anything stuck in your throat just now. If you lie, I will have to give you an injection!" After saying that, she deliberately shook the silver needle in her hand that was shining with cold light.
Xiaoyu was so scared that his face turned pale. He shook his head desperately and stammered: "No, no! I was just playing a game with my mother just now. My mother asked me to lie on the ground pretending to be sick, and then she asked Uncle Lu to come over and pretend to be a doctor to treat me."
Ling Yao smiled slightly, tapped Xiaoyu with her fingers, and gently put him on the ground.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Li, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper, with her eyes full of teasing and mockery, "Sister-in-law, do you want to add or explain this matter?"
"Sister-in-law Zhou, you did something wrong. How can you joke with a child like this?"
"That's right. I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out. I thought it was real!"
"Fortunately it was just a false alarm!" Everyone said at once, their tone full of accusations and dissatisfaction.
Zhou Li's face was like a palette overturned, blue and red, and her expression was very complicated.
Suddenly, she took a quick step and rushed to Xiaoyu who was standing nearby. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped Xiaoyu's butt hard, cursing non-stop: "I told you not to talk nonsense! I told you not to talk nonsense! I'm going to teach you a lesson today..."
"Wow--" Xiaoyu burst into tears, and the cry was deafening.
Seeing this, the people around hurriedly surrounded her to persuade her.
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun smiled at each other and walked towards their home.
"Wife, I have an allergy, look." When Lu Qingyun got home, he lifted up his sleeves to show Ling Yao the rash on his arm.
Ling Yao looked up and saw that Lu Qingyun's arm was covered with small red rashes. She took out a pill and handed it to him, "Take it and it will be fine."
Lu Qingyun opened his mouth and took Ling Yao's finger while taking the pill.
Ling Yao rolled her eyes at him and pulled her hand back, "Tell me, what's the matter with Zhou Li?" She had noticed that Zhou Li's eyes looking at Lu Qingyun were not simple, and after this incident, she was more certain of her guess. Sure enough, men who are too outstanding are easy to be coveted.
Lu Qingyun nodded and pulled Ling Yao to sit on the sofa. "Zhou Li's husband is also a group leader like me. Last month, Lao Yang died in a mission. Zhou Li was supposed to leave the family compound. After investigation, it was found that Zhou Li's parents had died several years ago. Lao Yang was an orphan and had no relatives in his hometown, so they let the mother and son stay in the family compound temporarily. Before Lao Yang died, he asked me to take care of them, and I agreed. These days, I often ask people to send some food to them, but nothing else."
He promised Lao Yang to take care of his wife and children, but he would have a sense of propriety, so every time he sent something to Zhou Li and her son, he would send his guards to deliver it. He would not contact them alone.
Ling Yao nodded in understanding, "But Zhou Li's thoughts are not simple." She sympathized with Zhou Li and understood the hardships of being a military wife, but she did not agree with Zhou Li's approach.
"I know, so I plan to apply to my superiors to arrange a residence for Zhou Li and her son in their hometown town." After what happened today, Lu Qingyun just wanted to stay as far away from Zhou Li and her son as possible.
After watching the lively people leave, Zhou Li closed the gate and left Yang Qiuhong alone. She knew that Yang Qiuhong and Ling Yao were not on good terms. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She wanted to deal with Ling Yao together with Yang Qiuhong.
Yang Qiuhong also had this idea, so the two hit it off.
"Sister Qiuhong, were you really fired by the hospital because of Ling Yao?" Zhou Li poured a cup of tea for Yang Qiuhong and sat down opposite her.
"Of course it's true, that woman is really bad, you saw it today, right?"
Zhou Li narrowed her eyes, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, "She made me lose face in the military hospital today, I will never let her go."
"Then what do you want to do?" Yang Qiuhong always knew that Zhou Li was not an easy person to deal with.
Zhou Li rolled her eyes, laughed softly, and leaned close to Yang Qiuhong and whispered in her ear.
Lu Qingyun went to the army in the afternoon, and Ling Yao felt bored and went into the space.
A puppy ran over, and its furry head gently rubbed Ling Yao's calf.
Ling Yao bent down, reached out and picked up Xinghuo, rubbed its head, "Little rascal, did you steal my pills again?"
After picking up Xinghuo, she kept it in her own space. Xinghuo is now very different from when she was first picked up. Its hair has become very soft and smooth, like silky satin, and its eyes, which were originally as blue as the sea, have now become brighter and more attractive.
Xinghuo seemed to understand what Ling Yao said. It whined twice and continued to rub Ling Yao's body as if it was acting coquettishly.
Ling Yao was amused by it and started to laugh. She patted Xinghuo's little butt gently and then put it back on the ground. "Xinghuo, you can only eat the pills in the white porcelain bottle. You must not touch the pills in the blue and black porcelain bottles. Do you understand?"
Xinghuo nodded her head very obediently, indicating that she had memorized it.
"Go play!" Ling Yao smiled and touched Xinghuo's head.
Xinghuo's figure was as fast as lightning, flashing in an instant, like a meteor across the night sky, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Ling Yao retracted her gaze, took out the alchemy furnace, prepared the herbs, and began to refine the elixir. She had already signed a contract with the military hospital, promising them that she would provide them with a batch of healing pills next week.
Time passed quietly, and Ling Yao was immersed in the world of alchemy, completely forgetting herself.
She concentrated on controlling the temperature, the ratio of herbs, and the flow of spiritual energy, striving for perfection in every detail.
Gradually, she forgot everything about the outside world, and only the pills that were about to take shape were in her mind.
Smelling the medicinal fragrance coming from the alchemy furnace, Ling Yao knew that the elixir had been refined. She took out a porcelain bottle and put the elixirs in the alchemy furnace into the bottle one by one.
Just after putting them away, she heard a shout from outside: "Yaoyao! Yaoyao! Are you home?"
Ling Yao knew that Lu Qingyun had returned. She looked down at her watch and found that she had been in the space for three full hours.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yao flashed out of the space. Now that she and Qingyun are husband and wife, she thinks it's time to tell him the secret that she owns the space.
Lu Qingyun didn't find Ling Yao in the house. When he was about to go out to look for her, he saw Ling Yao suddenly appear in front of him.
His heart was shocked, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yaoyao!"
