Chapter 310 Still a Father-in-Law
"It's such a good thing, what's there to be afraid of?" Jin Wu answered confidently, then asked, "You won't use this medicine to harm me, will you?"
Hua Qing raised her eyebrows: "That depends on whether you have done anything to betray the young lady. If you haven't betrayed the young lady, I have no reason to harm you."
"The young lady is my master, my master for life. I wouldn't even blink an eye if you gave me my life to save her." Jin Wu answered without hesitation.
Hua Qing shrugged: "That's it, isn't it? Then I won't use this medicine to harm my own people."
"Well, then what should I be afraid of?" After Jin Wu finished taking the medicine, he began to ask Hua Qing: "Miss Hua Qing, how do you make this medicine? I feel heartache and discomfort every time it's midnight? Could it be that this medicine can also tell the time?"
"How can I tell you the secret medicine of my Hua clan?" Hua Qing glanced at him and continued, "If you want to know if it's true, wait until midnight, and you'll know, right?"
…
"Sister Yue, I met Uncle Zhou." Shang Yifan came back from outside and told her everything that happened when he met Uncle Zhou just now.
After listening to this, Xiao Jiuyue said, "I'll meet him tomorrow. It would be best if I could go quietly to explore the terrain."
"No problem." Shang Yifan patted his chest and assured.
Midnight.
Jin Wu had been watching the bandits. In order to verify whether the pill was effective, he stared at them without blinking, for fear that he would miss the time and miss the bandits' anguish.
Hua Qing was dozing off, but none of the bandits dared to sleep. They all felt like they were going to die, and even began to feel uncomfortable.
Time passed bit by bit. Jin Wu looked up at the moon outside and muttered, "It's already midnight. Could it be that this medicine...isn't working?"
Jin Wu looked at Hua Qing, who was sleeping soundly against the wall. He wanted to speak, but then closed his mouth again. Instead, he walked up to Shan Ge, stared at him, and asked, "It's already midnight. Are you having heart pain?"
"Hmm."
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from Shan Ge's forehead, and his whole face seemed to turn pale in an instant. He curled up on the ground, trembling all over.
"Ouch, ouch, are you starting to feel pain?" Jin Wu said excitedly, but lowered his voice for fear of waking up the young lady. He looked at the bandits beside him, and they all reacted one by one, lying on the ground trembling.
"Hua Qing, Miss Hua Qing, your medicine is working!" Jin Wu squeezed next to Hua Qing, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he said, "Your medicine is fishy and smelly, but I didn't expect it to be so effective? Will they feel this much pain every day from now on?"
Hua Qing woke up dazedly, took a casual look, and her sleepy voice rang out in the darkness: "Of course, and it will get more painful every day. If there is no antidote, they will be dead in seven days."
After hearing this, the bandits curled up their trembling bodies and moved towards Hua Qing and the others, looking at Hua Qing with eyes that were expecting the antidote.
"Don't look at me. It's useless to look at me. If you don't do your job well for the young lady, forget about getting the antidote."
Hua Qing looked at them like this, and all her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She stared at the bandits with shining eyes and said, "A few people used this medicine before, but they didn't even make it through the third day. I wonder how long you can last?"
"Hmm." The bandits struggled fiercely, but Hua Qing didn't even glance at them. Jin Wu was initially excited, but in the end, seeing their entire bodies in pain was like being fished out of water. He asked in a low voice, "Are we... going too far?"
Hua Qing looked at him as if he were a fool and reminded him, "Are you stupid? They are bandits. Did you see the machetes in their hands yesterday? I don't know how many lives they have taken. What's more, they want to send the young lady to the bandit's lair to be his wife!"
Jin Wu shuddered and said, "Yes, they are extremely evil."
"Silly." Hua Qing glanced at them sideways. While chatting with Jin Wu, she silently calculated the time. She said, "Do you want the antidote?"
The bandits nodded their heads in unison. If they were able to speak, the sound of them begging for the antidote would have been enough to blow the roof off.
"Then, will you do a good job for the young lady?" Hua Qing asked again.
The bandits nodded quickly, fearing that if they nodded too slowly there would be no antidote.
Hua Qing's eyes turned and he said, "If you don't let it go like this, what if you regret it tomorrow?"
The bandits were about to cry. They looked at Hua Qing with sincere eyes, almost telling Hua Qing that they would really do it and they didn't want to die.
"Or, each of you can tell us something about yourself, then we can have the antidote. After you take the antidote, you won't feel any pain!" Hua Qing grinned.
Shan Ge was the first to rush over, and Hua Qing kicked him in disgust: "Stay away, it stinks."
Shan Ge was lying on the ground, trembling all over. Jin Wu stepped forward, picked a random bandit, and warned him, "Don't scream. If you wake up the young lady, you'll be dead."
The bandit nodded repeatedly. The moment the cloth was torn open, he couldn't wait to say, "I've secretly watched Brother Shan kill someone."
Brother Shan glared at Bandit A, wishing he could eat him alive.
"Antidote." Hua Qing threw the antidote directly over: "Take this medicine, and you won't feel any pain today. Take the antidote on time tomorrow, and you won't feel any pain again."
Bandit A didn't care about Shan Ge's look. He couldn't wait to swallow the antidote. The pain in his heart instantly disappeared. He sat up in surprise: "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
This is so effective, isn’t it?
Bandit A's actions made the other bandits even more impatient. One after another, evidence came to them. When it was Shan Ge's turn, he said, "I know the boss's secret."
"What kind of handle is this? It will only count if you tell the secret." Hua Qing crossed his legs, not in a hurry at all.
Shan Ge was in so much pain that his mind began to wander. He said, "The boss is colluding with the government officials and he is a eunuch."
"Oh? What's his name? What's his last name?" Hua Qing sat up straight and continued to ask: "How do you know he is a eunuch?"
"I don't know his name, but he has no beard and looks like a woman. His voice is sharp and thin. I heard the boss call him Eunuch Hong." Shan Ge's eyes were fixed on the antidote in Hua Qing's hand.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!" Hua Qing stuffed the antidote directly into his mouth. Shan Ge couldn't wait to swallow it. The pain in his heart seemed to disappear in an instant. Shan Ge lay on the ground motionless. He never wanted to feel this kind of pain again.
Hua Qing's face was filled with joy, and he couldn't wait to find Xiao Jiuyue to report the news. As soon as he walked out, the courtyard was dark and silent. Jin Wu said, "I didn't expect that we would find a new clue by accident."
"The young lady will definitely be happy to hear this. Let's just re-examine him later and see if he has anything else to say." Hua Qing was extremely excited. The sooner the Xiao family was vindicated, the sooner the young lady could follow her to the Hua Clan! Then their Hua Clan would be saved!
