Cui Zhengming looked serious. "Wan girl, Gu poison is Zhengqing's forte. Let me try acupuncture on you first."
Cui Zhengming and Zhengqing are two people. Cui Zhengming learned medicine and martial arts from his master since childhood. Zhengqing was not liked by his master since childhood. Now that he thinks about it, his master knew something all along, which is why he did not teach Zhengqing.
Cui Zhengming taught Zhengqing the medical skills he possessed, and he knew exactly how skilled Zhengqing was. However, Zhengqing was fond of studying Gu worms, and Cui Zhengming couldn't guarantee anything in that regard.
He inserted acupuncture needles into Su Wan and sat down to observe her changes: "Wan'er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Seeing Cui Zhengming's nervous expression, Su Wan was about to tell him that he was overthinking things when a sudden feeling of palpitation washed over her, and Su Wan felt as if she could hardly breathe.
Her chest heaved violently, as if she couldn't breathe fresh air. Each breath was heavy and difficult, her face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Cui Zhengming stared at the changes in Su Wan's body, his expression serious as he quickly pulled out the needles from her body. It turned out that Su Wan was infected with the Golden Silkworm Gu!
It looks like it will take some effort.
Shortly after the needle was removed, Su Wan's complexion gradually returned to normal, and her face regained its normal rosy color, as if she wasn't the one who had just looked pained.
Once Su Wan had calmed down, Cui Zhengming finally felt relieved. He looked at Su Wan with a serious expression and asked, "Wan, tell me the truth, did you summon the snake on Zhengqing's body?"
"yes……."
Su Wan told Cui Zhengming how she obtained the prescription and how she made the medicine. Ever since her accident, she had always kept the medicine on her person.
Cui Zhengming listened attentively, not missing a single detail. After Su Wan finished speaking, he told her seriously, "Wan, it's best not to tell others about this easily. You understand the saying 'possessing a treasure invites trouble,' right?"
Su Wan nodded; this was also what she was worried about.
Does Qin Yi know?
I didn't tell him.
Cui Zhengming frowned, as if considering something. After a while, he looked at Su Wan and said, "Wan, why don't you tell Qin Yi about this? After all, your current situation is still quite dangerous."
He paused, then looked at Su Wan apologetically: "It's all my fault for dragging you into this."
Su Wan shook her head. Her intuition told her that even without Cui Zhengming, Zheng Qing would find her in other ways. What did Zheng Qing want with her?
A week later, Cui Zhengming's stitches were removed, and the wound was healing well. The nurse who removed the stitches advised Cui Zhengming to quit smoking and drinking, and Cui Zhengming smiled and agreed.
He turned around and took a bottle of wine home, saying he wanted to thank Grandma Qin for taking care of him and had a drink with her.
"This is a special gift for you, please take a small sip."
Grandma Qin drank a glass of wine. As an elderly person, she couldn't hold her liquor, so Su Wan helped her back to her room to rest. Cui Zhengming was also slightly tipsy and yawned as he went back to his room.
"I'll head back to my room now. You guys enjoy your meal."
Su Wan also put down her chopsticks. "I'm done eating."
Qin Yi finished his meal slowly and methodically, then tidied up the table. The two held hands and went back to their room. After several deliberations, Su Wan decided to tell Qin Yi what had happened. They were now husband and wife, and she wanted to hear his thoughts. After all, with Qin Yi's attentiveness and observational skills, he wouldn't fail to notice her unusual behavior.
"Qin Yi".
Su Wan looked up and saw Qin Yi's chin. He had just shaved, and there were still stubbles on his chin. He looked at Su Wan with a serious expression, waiting for her answer.
"Um, there's something I want to tell you."
Qin Yi pulled Su Wan along, and they each sat down on a stool. "What's wrong?"
Su Wan looked conflicted, as if she couldn't make up her mind. Seeing this, Qin Yi didn't press her and quietly waited for her to make a decision.
A few minutes later, Su Wan's eyes hardened, as if she had made a decision. She let out a long sigh, "The snakes on Su Qing's body were attracted by me. She didn't kill them..."
Su Wan told Qin Yi everything in detail, including how she met the snake catcher, the prescription, and her adoptive mother's death. Since she had decided to tell Qin Yi, she had no intention of hiding anything from him.
She had said before that she was a woman, but she never thought of relying on a man at all. Qin Yi was her husband. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have children and stay together for life. It would be too tiring to hide things from each other.
Qin Yi remained silent throughout, listening attentively until Su Wan stopped.
"That's how it is. I don't know how Zheng Qing started targeting me, and neither does Mr. Cui."
After Su Wan finished speaking, she looked at Qin Yi, wondering how he would react when he found out. She was prepared for the worst.
He might find her a burden, or feel that being with her would bring endless trouble, but she would accept it even if they eventually parted ways.
After listening, Qin Yi leaned down to Su Wan and hugged her soft body in his arms, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I met you too late and couldn't protect you."
Su Wan stiffened, her eyes reddening slightly. She wasn't a sentimental person, but now she felt a tightness in her chest. She had made many assumptions in her mind, even considering that Qin Yi might avoid her.
Qin Yi only apologized to her for not being able to protect her sooner, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
Every woman becomes vulnerable in front of the man she tries to protect, and this time, Su Wan also fell into the same trap.
She hugged Qin Yi's waist back, and Qin Yi said softly, "Don't tell anyone about this snake-controlling medicine formula."
Su Wan readily agreed.
Qin Yi looked at Su Wan and carefully analyzed for her: "It's as if Zheng Qing never existed; it's as clean as can be."
Su Wan frowned. She understood what Qin Yi meant. Whenever a person goes to a place or meets someone, they will leave a trace. If there is no trace, it means that it has been deliberately erased.
Only in this way can it be explained.
Su Wan nodded, agreeing with Qin Yi's words.
“What I’m worried about now is your safety. Based on the clues I’ve found, Su Shikun may also be connected to Zhengqing…”
After Qin Yi finished speaking, Su Wan was clearly stunned. She hadn't expected this. How could Su Shikun be with Zheng Qing? They shouldn't know each other.
However, considering that Su Shikun was with Zheng Qing, and Zheng Qing's attitude and behavior towards Su Wan, it makes sense that she was targeting Su Wan.
Su Shikun must have told Zheng Qing about the circumstances of Su Qing's death. Given Zheng Qing's mind, he would definitely connect it to Su Wan.
If Zheng Qing hadn't died this time, he would be even more certain that Su Wan had the ability to manipulate snakes.
Then he will definitely not let Su Wan go.
The most urgent task now is to find Zheng Qing's whereabouts and bring him under control in order to resolve Su Wan's security crisis.
"What did Doctor Cui say?"
He said everything was fine for now and he would figure something out.
After another moment of silence, Su Wan was still in a daze when Qin Yi picked her up and said, "I'll carry you to bed to rest."
Qin Yi placed his hand two inches below Su Wan's collarbone, and Su Wan looked at Qin Yi with a slightly flushed face.
Is this the right spot?
