Chapter 56: Femme Fatale



Song Huaying came out of the house with a virtuous look on her face and said.

As she spoke, she walked to Chen An and stopped, opening her arms towards Chen Yuejian in his arms and said, "Xiao Yuejian, come here, mother. Daddy is going to have breakfast."

“No no no no no no!”

Chen Yuejian shook her head like a rattle, put her arms around her father's neck and lay on his shoulders, refusing to leave her father's arms.

Seeing this, Song Huaying frowned slightly and wanted to scold her disobedient daughter.

Chen An dotes on his daughter and said with a smile:

"It's okay. I can go in and hold her while she eats."

"Husband, this will spoil the child!"

Song Huaying pouted, thinking that her husband spoiled their daughter too much.

Chen An looked at his wife's rosy lips and couldn't help but kiss her, saying with a smile:

"It's okay. I will spoil her this time. If she does this again next time, I will let you scold her."

"Oh well."

Song Huaying pursed her thin lips and said.

Come into the hall.

Chen An held his daughter and sat down to eat noodles together.

"I want to eat daddy!"

Chen Yuejian looked at the noodles in the bowl and her mouth watered.

Chen An was also amused, and pinched her little face and corrected her: "Xiao Yuejian, you should say it like this: Daddy, I want to eat!"

"Instead of saying: I want to eat daddy!"

"Daddy is not the noodles in the bowl that can't be eaten."

Chen Yuejian didn't understand what her father was saying.

She is only one year old now and can only express her most primitive needs. She cannot understand what adults say very well.

Chen An naturally knew this, but he still had to teach her patiently.

If you teach more, you will understand it sooner or later.

If we don't teach her and let her slowly understand on her own, then she may not be able to understand the "early" in the word "sooner or later".

"I want to eat daddy!"

Seeing that his father did not feed him noodles, Chen Yuejian anxiously expressed his desire to eat again.

Seeing this, Song Huaying, who was standing by, immediately scolded her with an unhappy look on her face:

"You little girl, you just refused to eat when your mother fed you, and now you want your father to feed you, why are you so naughty?!"

“Hmm—”

Chen Yuejian felt like crying after being scolded. Her little mouth pouted, her little eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she let out a long cry.

Song Huaying didn't indulge her, she glared at her and said, "Chen Yuejian, if you dare to cry, don't sleep with me tonight!"

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Chen Yuejian was interrupted from casting the spell and did not dare to cry out loud.

Chen An looked at it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I didn't expect that my wife, who was usually so gentle and kind in front of me, would be so strict in front of my daughter.

Finish breakfast.

Take a break.

I feel like it’s about time.

Chen An walked into the alchemy room and began to refine the pills to be sent to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang tomorrow.

Just as I was about to light the fire, there was a sudden burst of hurried knocks on the door and shouting outside the house.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Master Chen, are you there?"

“Help!”

"My son has been poisoned, please come out and save him!"

This is Mo Lifang's voice.

Chen An heard it and couldn't help feeling confused.

On the way back just now, the widow's son looked lively and energetic, how could he be poisoned in the blink of an eye? Without thinking too much, he took a bottle of detoxification pills and stuffed them into his arms and left the alchemy room, intending to go out and see what was going on first.

When he came to the outer courtyard, his three wives and concubines were already there.

However, the wives and concubines did not open the door rashly and were very vigilant.

"Husband, that child looks like he's dying. His whole face has turned purple."

Song Huaying looked at the little boy in Mo Lifang's arms outside the door, her face full of worry.

She was kind-hearted and didn't want to see a young life die.

The same was true for Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue standing by.

“Crack—”

Chen An opened the gate of the yard.

Seeing this, Mo Lifang outside the door immediately came up with her son in her arms, and said anxiously:

"Master Chen, please save my son!"

"Please, Master Chen!"

"As long as you can save my son, I will work like a slave for you in the future to repay your kindness!"

Mo Lifang's tone was very excited, and she looked like she was eager to save her son.

However, Chen An always felt something was wrong.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

He looked at Mo Lifang and asked, "What kind of poison was your son poisoned with, and when did he get poisoned?"

Mo Lifang quickly replied, "I just took him to the woods to pick snakeberries. I don't know what bit his neck, and he suddenly fell to the ground with a purple face. It wasn't long, less than a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Chen An checked the wound on the child's neck.

After identifying it for a while.

It was discovered that he was bitten by a thousand poisonous spiders.

He frowned immediately.

He glanced at Mo Lifang in front of him and wanted to say something to her, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He just took out an antidote pill and stuffed it into the widow's child's mouth to help the child detoxify first.

The poison of the Thousand Poison Spider is strong, but it can be neutralized by detoxification pills.

The child's consciousness was already blurred, and it took a lot of effort to get him to swallow the detoxification pill.

As soon as the detoxification pill enters the stomach.

The purple color on the child's face was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen An observed for a while and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he said to Mo Lifang: "Okay, it's nothing serious. Take your son home and he will recover in a few days."

"Thank you, thank you Master Chen for saving my life!"

Mo Lifang knelt down and kowtowed to Chen An, expressing her gratitude as she kowtowed: "Master Chen Dan has been so kind and virtuous. I, a weak woman, cannot repay you. I am willing to be a maid in Master Chen Dan's family and be at the service of Master Chen Dan and his family."

"No, it's a small matter. Just take your son back."

Chen An waved his hand and ordered Mo Lifang to leave.

Mo Lifang was very tactful and quickly expressed her gratitude: "Then I will not bother Master Chen Dan anymore. I will always remember Master Chen Dan's life-saving grace in my heart, and I will definitely repay him when I have the chance."

After saying that, she stood up and left with the child in her arms.

After she walked away, Chen An's face suddenly turned cold.

He instructed the three wives and concubines beside him:

"You must stay away from the widow named Mo from now on. Don't get close to her. Even if she wants to die in front of our house, don't open the door to save her."

Hearing what he said, his wives and concubines couldn't help but frown.

Among them, Song Huaying asked: "Husband, what is going on?"

Chen An explained: "Although poisonous insects such as the Thousand Poison Spiders carry a strong poison, they are extremely timid by nature. If they see people approaching within ten meters, they will actively stay away."

"There are only two situations in which a person can be bitten by a thousand poisonous spiders."

"One, this person took the initiative to catch the Thousand Poison Spider, and was accidentally bitten, but in this case, usually only the hand is bitten."

"Second, someone caught a thousand poisonous spiders and put them on this person, forcing them to bite him."

"Also, did you notice that the anxious look on the widow's face just now was a little unnatural?"

Hearing this, the wives and concubines all looked solemn.

They did not notice the unnatural expression on Mo Lifang's face, but they all understood their husband's introduction to the Thousand Poison Spiders.

Song Huaying felt terrified when she thought about it, and said in disbelief:

"Husband, are you saying that the reason why the child was bitten by the Thousand Poison Spider just now was because of his mother's deliberate act?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."

"this……"

Song Huaying felt that her three views had been overturned.

Wen Zhiyun frowned and asked, "Husband, what is the purpose of the widow doing this?"

"I don't know, but I guess she wanted to get close to me and become my wife or concubine."

Chen An said without hiding anything.

When the wives and concubines heard this, they suddenly understood.

During this period of time, they were all clear about the situation in Green Willow Lane.

Widows are as numerous as dogs, and orphans are everywhere.

Every widow tries her best to find a good family for herself every day.

As the number of people increased, good and bad people mixed together, and all kinds of unscrupulous behaviors began to emerge.

The widow named Mo just now was a femme fatale. She poisoned her son in order to establish a connection with Chen An.

In a blink of an eye.

The time came to evening.

During the day, Chen An had already finished refining all the pills he needed to refine for the day.

The entire night that followed was spent practicing with his wives and concubines.

In order to save unnecessary trouble.

Chen An asked his three wives and concubines to bathe together, and go to the room to exchange experiences and make progress together.

After one night.

Chen An sat up from the bed somewhat tiredly.

The dark circles are very heavy.

But I didn't feel particularly sleepy.

Ever since his cultivation level broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, his need for sleep has decreased a lot.

Occasionally pulling an all-nighter will keep you energized even if you don’t sleep the next day.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he called up the prompt message he and his wives and concubines had created last night to check the content.

[Fire Spiritual Root Aptitude +2] x33 [Alchemy Experience +3] x9 [Spiritual Awareness Strength +3] x28 [Gold Finger Proficiency +3+3+2+3+2+2+2+3+2+3…]

"Not bad, a significant improvement."

Chen An smiled with relief.

Then he thought again and called up the attribute panels of his three wives and concubines and himself to check the data.

"Both my alchemy skills and my golden finger are about to break through. I will strive to break through my alchemy skills within ten days, and my golden finger skills within two days."

Looking at the progress bars of alchemy and golden fingers displayed on the panel, Chen An felt slightly excited.
