My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1208 - 1214: Let Him Be Reborn

The next morning, Duo’er dragged Ji Xiang and Ruyi into the kitchen.

Throughout the morning, they prepared six cold dishes, eight pastries, four beverages, and two fruit porridges, filling up the table completely.

Just after setting the bowls and chopsticks, Lu Kejun and Luo Qingfeng arrived.

"I really chose the perfect time to come today!" Lu Kejun said delightedly.

Ever since learning about Duo’er’s pregnancy, Bai Yifan hadn’t returned to Medicine King Valley, leaving her and Luo Qingfeng to run errands.

If not for good luck, she definitely would have missed this feast today.

Bai Yifan asked, "Is everything handled?"

Medicine King Valley had been passed down through generations, and with thousands of disciples, naturally, there were those with sinister intentions.

This time, someone had designs on the Medicine King’s Medical Canon, so Bai Yifan had Luo Qingfeng and his wife return to investigate thoroughly.

"We’ve almost finished the investigation. The mastermind is Ninth Junior Brother. I’ve come to ask about your plan."

Speaking of this matter made Luo Qingfeng feel irritated.

Ninth Junior Brother was the disciple of his third uncle, and everyone in Medicine King Valley knew that his third uncle had long coveted the position of Medicine King. He was very dissatisfied with the suddenly appointed Bai Yifan.

If his disciple was also targeted, Third Uncle would definitely make a scene.

Adding to that, Ninth Junior Brother was also the heir of Anhe Marquis Mansion, which made the situation even harder to handle.

Fearing his inability to handle the matter properly, he could only come to Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan tapped his fingers on the table, and after a while, he said, "Go and investigate the backgrounds of Third Uncle and Ninth Junior Brother."

It seemed that some people just can’t be treated too kindly, for they don’t know the meaning of restraint.

"The Marquis of Anhe is the Empress’s brother," Luo Qingfeng reminded.

If they confronted him directly, they would surely be at a disadvantage.

A slight smile curved Bai Yifan’s lips. "The Emperor is ailing, and he fears the Empress’s maternal family’s influence even more than us."

With the support of the Gue’s family, trying to use the theft of the medical canon to overturn Third Uncle and his disciple was impossible.

But if they could pin other charges on them, like treason or colluding with the enemy, the Emperor would definitely side with them.

Of course, pinning such crimes on them wouldn’t be easy.

"I’ll have Ke-kun’s men handle it. They certainly won’t alert our targets."

Luo Qingfeng instantly understood Bai Yifan’s intentions.

Perhaps... the Medicine King’s birthday could be an opportunity.

He then looked toward Qin Longyun and Tan Zhenghong, "I have long heard of both gentlemen’s legendary prowess in solving cases. If you have any clues, please enlighten us."

Qin Longyun modestly replied, "Sure thing."

"Eating and still can’t keep quiet. Don’t cry later if you end up not eating," Lu Kejun rolled her eyes.

Couldn’t they stop mentioning Third Uncle and ruining her appetite?

That old fellow, with a wrinkled face and a sharp nose, was mean and vengeful. Just looking at him made her feel disgusted.

If not for Luo Qingfeng holding her back, she would have made him reincarnate long ago.

Tangyuan looked at the empty dishes and pouted, "Second Aunt, what kind of lady are you supposed to be?"

What kind of lady eats so quickly? fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"What fun is there in that? I’m a heroine!" Lu Kejun corrected.

She disdained the confines of being obedient and staying indoors. She preferred a life of bold freedom and carefree independence.

Qin Mingrui seriously said, "I also think Second Aunt is more fun than my other aunts."

His reference to the other aunts pertained to the wives of the Chen Family in the Capital, all of whom strictly adhered to the traditional female virtues, being virtuous and gentle—not that they were bad, just a bit boring.

Tangyuan had seen those people too and quickly pushed the plate towards Lu Kejun.

"It’s all yours."

She definitely didn’t want her Second Aunt to turn into that—speaking only with a handkerchief covering her mouth.
