Chapter 215 Third Sister-in-law, you smell so good!
Hua Murong objected, "No, this is a matter for our Medicine Ghost Valley. If we can't even handle it ourselves, why would we ask outsiders for help? If word gets out, we'll ruin the reputation of Medicine Ghost Valley!"
"We can't just go and die for nothing."
"I am not afraid of death. I want to go with my master to cleanse the house of our Medicine Valley!"
The other fellow disciples chimed in, "Clean up the ranks! Clean up the ranks!"
The second disciple's eyes flashed, and he hesitated before speaking, "I'm not afraid of death either, but I don't want to see anything happen to Master."
Hua Murong selected several disciples who knew martial arts to accompany him to the battle the day after tomorrow.
He also instructed other disciples to prepare weapons to provide covert support, as well as medicines that could poison or stun the Gu worms, or antidotes that could counteract the Gu poison.
Pei Huaiji was the first to be called out, and he even offered to have his guards secretly assist him.
After they finished their discussion, Xiao Xuance said, "Divine Physician Hua, I will have Zhu Feng and the others lend you a hand."
"Alright, I've been waiting for you to say that. Our martial arts are a bit weaker, but with Zhu Feng and the others, our chances of winning are much greater."
After a brief discussion.
Hua Murong went to the side hall to remove the curse from Yang Shi. His disciples and grand-disciples were all there, so Yun Zhaoxue didn't need to lend a hand.
Pei Huaiji took Yun Zhaoxue to see the gift he had prepared for her.
“The house deeds and land deeds from Panyu County in Lingnan, as well as a manor in Jiangnan, and several other boxes containing silks and satins, gold and silver jewelry.”
“Young Master Pei, I appreciate your kind offer, but I am an exiled prisoner and have no use for these things. Why don’t you help me resolve a doubt?”
Pei Huaiji cupped his hands slightly and said, "Please speak, Princess. I will answer all your questions without reservation."
"I remember my mother mentioning Jiangnan many times when I was a child. I want to know if my mother had any close friends in Jiangnan during her lifetime?"
"I am not much older than the princess. I am not very clear about the affairs of the older generation. My father may know a little. If the princess wants to know, why don't you come to Jiangnan with me after the Medicine Ghost Valley has finished its internal cleanup?"
“I’m a convict now, not a free man, and besides, my family is keeping a close eye on me…” Yun Zhaoxue raised her chin slightly and pointed to the man who was looking at her expectantly.
Pei Huaiji also noticed that the two seemed like a newlywed couple who were deeply in love.
If looks could kill, he would have been riddled with holes by Xiao Xuance long ago.
"Rumors that the two of you didn't have a good relationship seem to be wrong."
"That was before. Now... it's alright."
Half an hour later, Hua Murong and his two disciples opened the door and came out. The poison in Yang's body had been cured, but she was still weak and unconscious.
They were running out of time, so they said goodbye and returned to the inn.
Yun Zhaoxue looked at the investigation letter in her hand.
Pei Huaiji was the second son of the Pei family, a famous merchant family in Jiangnan, and he also had a twin brother.
She guessed that the original owner's father was related to the Pei family, and also because of Pei Huaiji's comment that he treated her like a younger sister...
Are they half-siblings?
That's why they would be so generous as to give themselves such valuable gifts.
She didn't want to accept him; she hadn't cared for him for so many years, and now it's too late for her to acknowledge him as her relative.
Do you think you can make her call you "Dad" just by giving her a few ugly ducklings?
No way!
"You suspect he is your biological father?"
Yun Zhaoxue was only guessing and not sure, "Hmm, maybe."
She was definitely not born to Yun Xiuwen.
"Should I send someone to Jiangnan to investigate?"
"Go ahead and investigate, but try not to alert the other party. He doesn't want to acknowledge me, and I don't want to acknowledge him either."
The two spoke in hushed tones inside the carriage.
The carriage rolled over a shallow pothole and lurched.
Xiao Xuance instinctively raised his hand to protect Yun Zhao beside him.
Yang, who was lying inside the carriage wall, hit the edge of the carriage with the back of her head and rolled off the carriage with a "bang!"
Fortunately, the seat wasn't too high, otherwise I would have been seriously injured.
Yun Zhaoxue pushed away the man who was holding her, picked up Yang Shi from the ground and threw her back into her seat.
Yang slowly woke up, clutching the back of her head where she had hit it, "Hmm..."
"Mother, how are you feeling now?"
"My head hurts a little. Have I been sleeping for months?"
She had been in a daze and her head was foggy for the past few days, as if a long time had passed.
Xiao Xuance said, "Mother, you have only been unconscious for a few days, not for several months."
Yang shook her head, but still couldn't remember.
Yun Zhaoxue's tone was dangerous, "Mother, do you really remember nothing? Don't you remember making my husband divorce me? And betrothing Shu'er to that rotten cucumber Duan Qingyun?"
"I...I really don't remember. How could I have done something so outrageous?"
How could she let her son divorce his wife? And then she wanted to marry Shu'er off to Duan Qingyun, which was like pushing her into a pit of fire.
Xiao Xuance told her about some of the strange behaviors she exhibited after being poisoned.
After hearing this, Yang didn't dare to look Yun Zhaoxue in the eye and silently shrank into a corner.
Is she planning to settle scores later?
Her body hasn't fully recovered yet; she's in pain all over and can't take a beating.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. If she had angered her daughter-in-law and driven her daughter into trouble, she would have been guilty beyond redemption.
They deserved to be beaten.
If Yun Chaoxue hit or scolded her, she might feel better. Thinking this, she sat up straight and said:
"Xue'er, Mother was wrong. I shouldn't have fallen for someone's tricks and been led by the nose, which hurt your feelings. Mother apologizes to you."
"Yes, I know you've been bewitched, but I didn't take it to heart."
Xiao Xuance chose Yang Shi firmly even though he didn't know she was poisoned by Gu, so it's no big deal for her to suffer a little grievance.
I can't stand even a little bit more grievance. Either we separate and live separately, or we get a divorce.
It was late at night when we got back to the inn. Most people were asleep, so we tiptoed upstairs.
Xie Wanyun and Xiao Mingshu were still awake, waiting for them to return before they felt at ease.
Yang's health was still very weak, and everyone agreed that someone needed to stay with her at night.
Both daughters-in-law and Xiao Mingshu were vying to fulfill their filial duties.
Finally, Xie Wanyun suggested that they take turns starting with her, the eldest sister-in-law.
Xiao Mingshu was overjoyed to be sleeping with Yun Zhaoxue for the first time.
My third sister-in-law smells so good; I really want to get close to her, hug her, and smell her fragrance.
Yun Zhaoxue lay on the bed, her hands behind her head, looking at the curtains above her.
If the head of the Pei family is indeed the original owner's biological father, why would a woman as strong and resolute as the Princess give birth to the original owner with a married man?
The eldest princess was of noble birth, and she had countless suitors, all of whom were outstanding individuals.
Why would someone want a married woman when they could have any man they want?
If that's the case, then the original author must have lost their mind.
She looked at the person next to her and found her lying motionless on the very edge, as if afraid of crowding her. "Shu'er, you can move over a little. There's still plenty of space in the middle."
"Okay, I'll drift off to sleep for a bit."
As soon as I moved over, I smelled a delicate orchid fragrance mixed with a faint milky scent. It smelled so good.
No wonder Third Brother is always clinging to Third Sister-in-law; she also wants to get closer to Third Sister-in-law.
Yun Zhaoxue noticed the unusual excitement in the person beside her. "What's wrong?"
"Third sister-in-law, you smell so good~"
"I haven't been using perfume or scented sachets lately, you must be mistaken."
"You're not mistaken, it smells wonderful. Third sister-in-law, you're so fragrant without even realizing it. You can ask your third brother later, he'll definitely know, otherwise he wouldn't be so clingy to you."
Yun Zhaoxue, "..."
Xiao Xuance often buried his face in her neck and nuzzled against her, having already found the answer in his heart.
He reached out and tucked the blanket around her. "It's getting late, go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Mmm." Xiao Mingshu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, like a well-behaved baby.
