My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1189 - 1195 Madam’s Wisdom

"I’ll give you my arm for a pillow; go to sleep if you’re tired."

"Stay with me as I sleep."

"Of course."

The two snuggled together, contentedly leaning on each other, wishing it could continue forever, until the end of time.

Night fell, and the atmosphere in the Tan Family grew increasingly oppressive.

Chen Yiling was full of self-reproach, "It’s all my fault. Why couldn’t I have died first?"

"We all know it wasn’t on purpose, don’t be like this," Qin Longyun said as he clutched Ling’er’s hand, fearing she might harm herself.

With things as they were, why burden another person?

Chen Yiling’s tears flowed continuously, especially when she saw Tangyuan and Green Group cry themselves faint; her guilt deepened.

They were still so young, why should they have to experience something so cruel?

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks shattered the silent mood.

"Bai San, what urgent matter made you call me back here in such a rush?" Luo Qingfeng asked discontentedly.

He had just negotiated with Lu Kejun to put aside their poisons and take a break, only to be summoned back by Bai Yifan before they could go far.

He too was feeling bitter. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

If it wasn’t something urgent, he would tear Bai Yifan to pieces.

Seeing Luo Qingfeng’s jesting grin, Bai Yifan and Qin Longyun simultaneously rolled their eyes at him.

"So you don’t welcome me? I’ve come from afar to see you, and yet you all look so gloomy," said Luo Qingfeng, pouting.

Out of the four siblings, he was the least favored. Why?

Bai Yifan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Duo’er and Yi Ling were poisoned with Madam Envy; Li Mu’er, the breeder, is missing, and Duo’er has several hidden injuries."

Luo Qingfeng’s face turned grave instantly, as he was well aware of the severe effects of Madam Envy.

Especially with hidden injuries, the person wouldn’t last more than three days.

He had seen the recall signal from Medicine King Valley the day before, which meant... it was very likely he had missed the last chance to see her.

"Am I... too late?"

Bai Yifan pressed his lips together and after a long while managed to say, "If we can’t think of a solution within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Duo’er will..."

Luo Qingfeng’s eyes reddened in anxiety, "What can one think in the time it takes an incense stick to burn? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have bothered learning the damn poisons and gone straight to study Gu poison in Southern Xinjiang instead."

At least that could have been useful right now.

Lu Kejun took out a delicate box from inside his robes, "Good thing we hurried back without stopping, we’re still in time."

Bai Yifan’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Sister-in-law, what’s this?"

"This is the Urn King, capable of temporarily suppressing Madam Envy," Lu Kejun explained.

The Golden Silkworm Gu reigns supreme among Gu, to which other Gu show great wariness. However, the effect is limited because the Golden Silkworm Gu has a hibernation period, after which the effects of Madam Envy will flare up violently.

Moreover, a Gu that’s been suppressed for a long time turns more ferocious.

In a somewhat sour tone, Luo Qingfeng said, "Wife, how come I didn’t know you had such a treasure?"

When they got married, he had brought out all his treasures, yet his wife had kept this one hidden.

Likely had Duo’er’s life not been under threat, she would not have revealed it.

"It’s a secret of my sect. Besides, parading around with a Gu would be asking for death, right?"

Lu Kejun looked disdainful. She was wise for a lifetime, how had she ended up with such a fool?

Witch Gu Technique was considered taboo. If exploited by the wrong hands, it could bring disaster to her sect.

In proper form, Luo Qingfeng bowed deeply, "Indeed, Madam is wise. Let’s hurry and see how Duo’er is."

Qiao Duo’er’s life was hanging by a thread; they could delay no longer.
