Chapter 259 Quarrel
Yin Li was a rather arrogant person, and was not very polite to them: "Not everyone is qualified to know the name of this Pavilion Master!"
"Oh, Mom, his name is Yin Li, and he's a friend of mine who sells books." Hu Xiner replied.
Mu Qing failed to show off and fanned himself angrily.
"So she's your friend," Lu's mother said, her expression softening a little. "Where do you make a living?"
Yin Li didn't dare to act cool anymore, for fear that Hu Xin'er would ruin his plans.
But his tone was still indifferent: "Wanjuan Pavilion, Shilipu."
Mother Lu thought to herself, this child looks normal, but his words are so incoherent, like he's been slaving away for too long. How could Xin'er have a friend like this?
But on the surface, she still maintained basic courtesy, smiled gracefully, and then walked to Hu Xin'er's side: "Xin'er, what's wrong with you? The fire just now, did you get hurt?"
Hu Xin'er hadn't recovered from what had just happened yet, and murmured, "Bone Erosion... I finally understand why this insect is called 'Bone Erosion'."
For the first time, she hated her own clear eyesight. She could clearly see the poisonous insects clinging to Feng Ge's bones and blood vessels. When they matured, they rushed out together, leaving only bone fragments, blood and the human skin full of holes.
However, if Feng Ge's death is the only explanation for the name of this insect, she would rather not know the truth.
Feng Ge was so young. In modern times, he would be in high school, but he had such a miserable experience.
"What kind of poisonous insect?" Mother Lu was confused, but Jiang Yao's expression changed slightly.
Hu Xin'er came to her senses and told Mother Lu the whole story: "That day at the eldest princess's wedding banquet..."
After hearing Feng Ge's miserable experience, Mother Lu was horrified and hurriedly looked at the exposed parts of Hu Xin'er: "Xin'er, are you okay? Did you get bit by that bug?"
Hu Xin'er felt warm in her heart: "Mom, don't worry. Fortunately, Yin Li reacted quickly and rescued us in time. She also burned those poisonous insects to death."
"I seem to have heard Taoist Master Yiqing mention this kind of poisonous insect." Jiang Yao raised her eyelids. "He seemed to say there was a herb that could cure this kind of poisonous insect."
Hu Xiner was suspicious, but it was not convenient for her to say it out loud at this time.
Why did Jiang Yao say that she had only heard of this kind of poisonous insect, and that she learned about it from Yiqing?
Wasn't she the boss of Chun Feng Zui? Shouldn't she have planted this poisonous insect on her subordinates herself?
Jiang Yao had only said this casually, but Yin Li, after hearing it, said contemptuously, "You're just hearing it from others. There's no cure for this kind of poisonous insect!"
Jiang Yao chuckled, "What? You know this now? You're just a brat!"
Yin Li exploded when he heard this. He had just been using a disdainful tone out of habit to show how immature and arrogant he was.
However, Jiang Yao actually seriously refuted and even mocked him!
Both of them were very sharp-tongued and they started arguing about whether there was an antidote.
Mother Lu tried to dissuade them: "You two, stop arguing, Yaoyao, don't argue with a child."
As soon as the word "child" came out of her mouth, she was suddenly stunned and looked at Yin Li's hair.
Well, it’s so white! Even whiter than her flowery hair! Is this really a child?
Then she went to persuade Yin Li again: "You came to our house as a guest, how can we make you angry? Take a step back and the world will be bright..."
The two of them didn't know how long they had been arguing, when suddenly a messy and familiar sound of footsteps was heard at the door.
It turned out to be Mu Qing who came back!
"Mu'er, didn't you go to the Hanlin Academy to take up your official post today? Why are you back?" Mother Lu immediately came forward in surprise.
Mu Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt relieved to see that Hu Xiner was safe and sound.
In order to prevent accidents at home, he specifically asked his servants to inform him if anything happened.
Today, when he heard that Feng Ge's condition had worsened, he immediately asked for leave from the head of the Hanlin Academy and hurried back.
Unexpectedly, when he came back, Feng Ge didn't see her, but saw the annoying Yin Li.
Yin Li and Jiang Yao were still arguing: "Since there's an antidote to this poison, why don't you give it to me? Give it to me!"
"You are just making a fuss, kid! I've already told you that it was just what Taoist Yiqing said. How can I possibly give it to you now?" Jiang Yao argued.
Yin Li folded her hands over her chest and raised her head proudly: "You believe what I just said, is he your lover?"
Mu Qing originally wanted to stop the fight, but when he heard this, a string of ellipsis appeared in his head.
Even Jiang Yao's family members didn't dare to ask about the matter between her and Taoist Master Yiqing, for fear of touching the hidden pain in her heart.
But Yin Li accidentally hit...
This guy really deserves a beating! Can you just pick on other people's scars?
As expected, Jiang Yao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and her tone became even more angry. "Every poison in this world has an antidote. You're so perverse and arrogant. Didn't your parents teach you how to behave?"
Yin Li retorted, "I have parents. Do you have any? Do you deserve them?"
The atmosphere between the two people suddenly became tense and had escalated to the level of personal attacks.
How could Mu Qing watch outsiders bully his aunt? He stepped forward with a stern face and separated the two of them.
Yin Li fanned herself to cover her face.
Mu Qing was speechless: "What are you doing?"
Yin Li said very proudly: "I don't want to see that ugly face."
"You!" Mu Qing suppressed his anger and turned to look at Jiang Yao: "Aunt, what happened?"
Jiang Yao turned around and ignored him.
Mother Lu was the only one with the best temper in the room. Frowning, she replied, "Didn't Xin'er bring home a sick person a few days ago and order everyone not to enter? Today, I heard from the servants that he had a terrifying attack, so Yaoyao and I hurried over. By the time we got there, he was already dead, and the house he was staying in had burned down."
Feng Ge is dead? Mu Qing looked at Hu Xin'er, who was distracted, and speculated, "Xin'er may have witnessed his death, so..."
"I don't know about that." Mother Lu shook her head. It was too late when she went there.
Mu Qing walked over to Hu Xin'er and called out carefully, "Xin'er, Xin'er?"
"Huh?" Hu Xin'er looked dazed, and when she saw it was him, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes again.
Mu Qing wiped the tears from her face distressedly: "It's okay."
Yin Li snorted softly.
After confirming that Hu Xin'er was fine, Mu Qing looked at Yin Li unhappily: "Why are you in my house?"
Yin Li put away the fan and blew her hair proudly: "This Pavilion Master naturally came to find Hu Xin'er to help me look at a new hairstyle!"
The whole audience was stunned into silence by this outrageous reason.
Only Mu Qing silently clenched his fists: "If this is all for this, leave my house now, immediately, right now!"
