352 Interpretation
wn taller all of a sudden"I wryly smiled inside. What image could I possibly haveIt's just a case of being overconfident.I reached up to touch my chest, where Jiang Qiyun's name pendant hung.The undyi...Mu Wanchen asked in a flat tone, "What do you think Gu is"
My brother paused, frowning. "Isn't it just poison It's just living poison."
"You're right... so there's only the antidote of living, you understand"
My brother rubbed his temples and waved his hand, saying: "I don't want to understand your profession, it's too complicated. Just tell me directly, can this poison be cured or not"
Mu Wanchen snorted: "How can't it be solved In my opinion, this is simply too easy... I have already given her the antidote. It takes effect for twelve hours, that is, one day."
“This is a very common love potion, here people use it after the engagement with the woman's consent. They would give her a drink containing the potion on the wedding night. After consummation, the worm escapes from a small wound and immediately breaks free… This is just a little thing to determine if a woman is a virgin. It’s not very poisonous.”
Mu Wanchen's tone was calm.
"As you can see, after taking the antidote, she has already started to recover from her fever. Now she's in good spirits and unharmed. The only thing left is for the worm to leave her body, which requires consummation."
My brother rolled his eyes: "That's easy for you to say, she's a rich heiress! She doesn't even have a fiancé, who is she supposed to consummate a marriage with"
Mu Wanchen chuckled, "Who would she consummate her marriage with That depends on her willingness... If all else fails, just find someone randomly. As long as it's a man, right She has two bodyguards with her, doesn't she Or there are thousands of unmarried men in my village, she can pick one. This kind of thing, men instinctively know how to do it, no need for any technique."
"What kind of skill do you need" My brother sarcastically chimed in. "Look at yourself! You deserve to be single! She's a delicate flower, and you think you can just barge in and get what you want"
Mu Wanchen's face darkened: "She's not my person, I don't care what she thinks! For Mu Xiaqiao's sake, I gave her the antidote and told her how to separate the insects. Now you figure out what to do yourselves!"
He let out a cold snort and turned to leave.
"Wait!" My brother impatiently stopped him, asking, "The duration of the drug is twelve hours What if it exceeds that Can you continue using the drug"
“This is a medicine-inducing liquor brewed with fresh, potent medicinal herbs. Can you move the mountain home Even if you could, the potency of the medicine would weaken with each use... So, are you still planning to drag it out until her wedding day”
Mu Wanchen looked at my brother with amusement: "She woke up and the first thing she looked at was you. Even a fool could see it, yet you're so hesitant... Could it be that you have someone else in your heart If you do, who cares what she does with anyone else As long as she's cured of the poison, it's all you need to do. Bridge returns to bridge, and road returns to road, each goes their separate way."
My brother furrowed his brow, and the moonlight cast a shadow over half his face. I rarely saw him look so serious.
Mu Wanchen left, he was still squatting on the platform, taking out a soft Chinese cigarette from his backpack, biting on it, and searching for a lighter.
"Mu Yunfan, you quit smoking!" I hurriedly ran out of the barrier to shout at him.
He jumped, the cigarette falling from his hand as he explained, "I was just biting it! I hadn't lit it yet!"
"You've pulled out the lighter! You're still trying to deny it!"
"...How long have you been eavesdropping" he asked awkwardly.
"I'm not telling you."
He tousled his hair and crouched there awkwardly.
"Making trouble, making trouble! Let you make trouble! You deserve it, didn't you stir up some trouble" I gloated and giggled from the sidelines.
My brother stared speechless at the black river surface in the canyon, and sighed: "…She didn't have any experience... She's two years older than me, how come she's so conservative! What are we going to do Make her find a fiance and get engaged or married within a day"
"Sure, I can ask Lin Yanhuan if he knows anyone suitable. Someone who can close the deal in a few hours, exchange rings, and get Miss Lin married off cheaply." I scoffed.
This kind of talk is outlandish, we all know it's impossible. How could the Lin family possibly allow such a hasty marriage
"What should I do then I don't want to get on her bad side~~" My brother scratched his head in frustration.
"Bro."
"Huh"
“When you smashed the headlight, that's when you started attracting trouble,” I said cautiously. “Besides…you don’t want to get married, and the Lin family probably doesn't either! Even if they knew about you...cough...well, whatever it is, I think they would just pretend not to know...and be happy if you two broke up sooner rather than later.”
This is reality, even if my brother and Ms. Lin are together, the Lin family will pretend this doesn't exist on the surface. At most, they will respect Lin Yanqin's wishes and not force her into an arranged marriage.
Anyway, the emperor's daughter wouldn't worry about getting married. If they broke up someday, Miss Lin would still be Miss Lin, with plenty of suitors.
My brother listened in stunned silence, then suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Xiao Qiao, you said words have power, and that's really true. You can't curse yourself, huh"
His words were ambiguous, and it was unclear what he had in mind.
When I went to see Lin Yanqin, she had a temporary fever break and smiled at me, thanking me. I whispered these words to her, and she pouted and said, "It's not a big deal really, just a fever. I'm used to it... It's just that I feel sick thinking about little bugs crawling around inside my body."
“So, what are you going to do Get married quickly Find a fiancé! With your family's status and prestige, only you can dump a fiancé, no man would dare to dump you.” I whispered, “Don’t worry about my brother, he doesn't have any issues with virginity. As long as he likes someone, he won't care about these things... You should focus on getting rid of the蠱蟲 first.”
Lin Yanqin's face flushed red, she bit her lip and shook her head.
She probably never imagined other men, right Last time I saw my brother after a shower, shirtless, he was so shocked his nose bled.
The way back was relatively quiet. My brother didn't seem to be in the mood to chat, and while I tried to break the silence, he only replied with a few bland responses. The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
The effects of the antidote last for twelve hours. When we got back to our family shop, the lights were already on. As soon as my brother got out of the car, he rushed to his room.
This feeling of evasion, it's overwhelming.
Not to mention Lin Yanqin, even I'm getting a bit teary-eyed.
The old woman, upon hearing that we hadn't managed to break the curse, could only frown and shake her head. She gave us a package of herbs for calming fire and shocking, instructing us to make a broth with it for her to drink.
Lin Yanqin thanked me, then lowered her head and hurried out. I could see that she was about to cry.
If she really had to find someone else to solve it, I think she'd rather burn herself out every day.
The bodyguard opened the car door for her, and she turned to bid me farewell politely. As she was speaking, she suddenly froze mid-sentence.
My brother came out of the shop wearing flip-flops, a brightly patterned pair of shorts, and a sleeveless vest with straps.
His hair was still dripping, each drop of water spreading into tiny trails on his white vest.
"...Are you leaving" he asked Lin Yanqin.ny different kinds of scenery now—"You... Lord God, you're supposed to have attained the supreme state of detachment, but where did you put it!" I couldn't help but laugh and cry as I bumped my forehe...
