Chapter 52 Promise me, okay?
An hour ago, at a private residence in the west of the city.
The Miao man rumored to have been arrested by the government is being held here by Yue Lang.
Yu He'an put the glass lamp away before going to see Yue Lang, who was imprisoned there.
The life or death of a living person is not as important as that lamp.
Yue Lang's feet were shackled, the other end of the chain locked to the thickest pillar. His ankles were chafed and bleeding from the chains, his face was pale, his lips were cracked and dry, and his hair was scattered across his face.
"It's you? Why are you arresting me?" Yue Lang struggled fiercely, the iron chains clanging loudly.
"I want to ask you how to remove the curse." Yu He'an stood expressionlessly in front of Yue Lang.
Yue Lang lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed twice.
"You're asking about Yu Tan's Gu poison. She's been afflicted with it for months, and there's no cure yet."
Do you know why the person who cast the curse gave her the sachet?
Do you think it's a well-intentioned suppression?
no.
Only in this way can the attack become more severe and intense.
Have you noticed that the frequency of her seizures is different from what's written in the book?
There's no solution yet; she'll only become a monster in the future.
"No solution?" A foot slammed into Yue Lang's chest. Yu He'an's face remained indifferent, but those who knew him well knew that he was truly enraged.
Yue Lang was flipped over, his body hitting the ground with a loud thud. A flash of killing intent crossed Yu He'an's eyes.
Is there really no solution?
He vomited a mouthful of blood, then propped himself up on the ground and let out a wild laugh.
"Let me tell you, the best way is to find the person who cast the curse, and then draw the curse worms onto you. That way, you can remove the curse from her body."
How wonderful.
Did you come here because you really want her to be cured of the Gu worm?
Then you won't be able to control her anymore. As long as the Gu worm is there, she will be completely devoted to you, and the longer it goes on, the more she will be unable to leave you.
Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
"You want me to become a fool like you?" Yu He'an sneered twice. "So what if the Gu worm controlled Zhao Qin for more than ten years? After learning the truth, you were still kicked out of the game. Do you know who told me to ask you to remove the Gu?"
It's Zhao Qin...
She utterly loathed the days she spent controlled by the Gu worms.
He handed the jade pendant in his hand to Yue Lang. The jade pendant was made in duplicate, engraved with the same heart, and was a token between them. Yue Lang grabbed it.
"It's her, she even gave you this."
Yu He'an squatted down: "Zhao Niangzi said that after deceiving you for more than ten years, all that remains is hatred. I'm returning the token to you. If you still have any remorse, please help Yu Tan remove the curse."
"Zhao Qin ordered you to arrest me?"
“My men lost their composure. Speaking of which, you saved Wu Niang, so I owe you a debt of gratitude.” Yu He’an avoided answering and handed the key to the shackles to Yue Lang. “If you are sincere in removing the curse from Yu Tan, I will respectfully ask you to leave.”
As the shackles fell, Yue Lang sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away tonight, or harm Yu Tan?"
“Yue Lang, you even use your father’s name, so I naturally believe you are capable of anything. However, you probably can’t find out where Zhao Niangzi is, and I can help you reconcile with her.”
Yu He'an actually found out about this, something that happened more than ten years ago. Did he tell Zhao Qin all of this?
Yue Lang asked suspiciously, "Really? Can it really help me and Zhao Qin get back together?"
"This is my skill, but whether you can get my help depends on your skill."

The candle had burned down to its last bit, its dim flame no match for the radiance of the bright moon, and the sky-blue gauze curtain was hung by silver hooks.
A flushed face was visible beneath the quilt, her forehead hair was damp, and her eyes were still moist, surrounded by an undercurrent of tension.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard Yu Tan calling him, not the usual coquettish "brother," but Yu He'an with his full name.
His tone was three parts self-deprecation, and the rest was all lust.
Her fair hand tugged at the blanket as if trying to hide herself more completely, but Yu He'an truly didn't understand her distress. Instead, he moved even closer and asked with concern, "Yaoyao, what kind of dream did you have?"
I'm determined to get an answer.
Yu He sat comfortably on the edge of the bed, moonlight spilling onto his hair and shoulders, his handsome features appearing like towering mountains in the dim light.
Yu Tan shrank back a little, closing her legs and hiding under the blanket, sticky and damp, her eyes darting around and her voice broken.
“I dreamt that I was being chased by a large group of people, and I ran to the edge of a cliff. I was about to fall off when I saw my brother and begged him to save me.”
"Oh, so did I get you up here?"
"They've been rescued."
What happened next?
"I'm awake now." She turned her face away.
"Little liar, you're still a habitual liar." Yu He'an's tall body pressed down, casting a large shadow that enveloped her entirely in his embrace.
She clutched the blanket tightly in fear, afraid that someone would pull it off and expose her completely.
The familiar scent of cedarwood and the sweet floral fragrance were soothing to the senses, but the tingling sensation that had subsided earlier resurfaced.
Yu He'an withdrew, and the oppressive feeling lessened. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Yu He'an take out a sky-blue sachet from her sleeve. The workmanship was crude, and it didn't look like an item from the Marquis's mansion. It looked more like something she had bought casually at a street stall.
In an instant, the cloying floral fragrance became even stronger, and she felt as if she were soaking in warm water.
The moment she saw the sachet, she couldn't help but reach out her hand, which was hidden under the covers, and happily grabbed it, pulling Yu He'an towards her as well.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Sachet! Brother, have you found a way to remove the curse?"
"You're not avoiding me anymore?" Yu He'an moved even closer and sat down beside her. "I've found a way, but your Gu is more troublesome than ordinary love Gu, and it will take some effort."
"It's too much trouble..." She hates trouble the most right now, but the Gu worm remaining in her body is definitely a menace. "If it's too much trouble, brother, please teach me. I'll do it myself..."
She's like this again, looking like she's afraid of bothering him, as if she wants to distance herself from him at every step.
Was it because his love wasn't expressed clearly that Yu Tan lacked the courage to trust and rely on him?
A long sigh.
"Vast and distant."
"Brother?" She pinched the sachet, making the fragrance even stronger.
"You can't come by yourself."
"?"
The love poison can only be induced when the person under its influence is at the peak of their passion, at which point it can be expelled from their body.
Yu He'an lowered his head, getting closer and closer. The sachet had been placed in his robe, and his robe was also tainted with that scent. Approaching him was no longer an annoying restlessness and endless heat.
Instead, it feels comfortable, like finally stepping out into the yard to bask in the sun after being cooped up in a cold, damp room.
His lips were captured, gently kissed, stealing her breath, though it was only a fleeting touch. Under the sweet, floral scent, she was especially moved, her hands instinctively encircling his neck, offering herself further forward, the waves of her dream washing over her.
The waves swept over her; in the darkness, all her struggles and anxieties were submerged in the surging tide of emotions.
Her large hands slid down her neck, surrounded by the rich fragrance of flowers, and she dared to indulge herself.
The blanket had been pulled back at some point, and her nightgown had been wiped away and disappeared, exposing her secret.
He kissed her until her legs went weak.
The dewdrops on the petals of the Jade Lotus flower shyly dripped down.
"Little liar, having nightmares like this?"
His large hands were placed on his waist, measuring carefully and gently brushing against his spine, sending a tingling sensation through him.
No matter how many times she experienced this, she was still embarrassed, bending over, trying to close her arms, and turning her head away, not daring to look at the way the slender, strong fingers were teasing her.
Something doesn't seem right.
It was warm and applied.
When she looked down, all that could be seen was the top of her head.
"Brother..." He clearly wanted to refuse, but the tone changed as soon as he said it.
She could only cover her mouth, refusing to utter another word.
The gentle sound of humming, the splashing of water, and the suppressed sobs.
Her high, straight nose pressed against her, causing her a little pain.
My lower abdomen felt sore and bloated; the accumulated floodwaters had breached the dam.
His hands ran over every part of her body as if inspecting her, causing a sharp pain in her forearm. A sharp leaf sliced open a small gash, and a live, wriggling worm was squeezed out of her body.
As the swaying waves subsided, she finally regained her senses, and her mind became clearer.
She stared at the blood-stained Gu worms on the ground: "Brother, has the Gu been cured? Am I normal now?"
Yu He'an gently touched her lips.
"The Gu has been driven out, and the fever is being suppressed with a sachet. Once I return from my trip to another place, the fever will be completely gone. You've learned your lesson this time."
The hot breath sprayed onto her neck, and the heat that had already made her sweat did not dissipate, but was transferred from her body to Yu He'an.
In the past, after helping her relieve her discomfort, Yu He'an would go to the side room to take a cold shower by herself. But today, he was unusual and hugged her from behind.
"Yaoyao." His lips pressed against the back of her neck; it was so hot.
"Brother." She turned around hurriedly, her straight nose still glistening with tears, and warmth crept up her cheeks.
"Don't move." The tone was laced with threat; if she didn't listen, he would tear her apart alive. Her body was restrained by his hands.
"I didn't move." She obediently curled up in Yu He'an's arms, waiting for the heat to subside.
"Wait for me to come back." His warm lips pressed against the back of her neck. "We'll go back together after Grandmother's birthday banquet."
He wanted to take Yu Tan back to the banquet tomorrow, but since the case was not yet cleared up and Yu Tan's background was revealed, people would gossip about her behind her back.
"What?" Her heart skipped a beat, and she struggled to sit up. Did Yu He'an mean to take her back as a brother and sister?
No, she's not stupid.
Yu He'an wanted to reveal the truth in front of all the guests. At that time, the Marquis's Mansion would have no choice but to accept it, since the reputation was already established. At worst, they would fight to the death.
That's not right.
She only understood the words of admonition Liu Mama gave her when she was kicked out of the mansion.
Old Madam Song had a vague suspicion at the time, which is why she was angry and kicked her out.
She turned around and stared at Yu He'an's face, her expression as serious as ever. Their eyes met.
That's wrong.
It must be that the plot messed up their relationship, or that the removal of the love potion affected them.
Upon hearing that she would be taken back to the Marquis's residence, her pretty face showed no joy, only hesitation and fear. This scene felt like a needle piercing her heart.
Yu Tan wanted to return to the Marquis's mansion, but not as his lover.
His large hand stroked her cheek, gently caressing it, trying to dispel her anxiety.
“Yaoyao, don’t worry. I’ll tell them in advance that Grandma has always liked you. She was just confused with anger back then. Her anger has long since subsided. She asked me to give you the account book a few days ago. Haven’t you always wanted to go back? Going back will be the same as before.”
Once the case is solved, Yu Tan's true identity can be revealed; they were never siblings.
If two people love each other, why can't they be together?
As long as Yu Tan agrees, he will take care of everything.
She coaxed gently, "Promise me, okay?"
