After Shuning left, only Su Wan and Yin Mingye wearing a blue gown were left in the warm room.
Looking at the familiar eyebrows of the man in front of her and his gloomy expression, Su Wan couldn't help but smile again. Her beautiful eyes flashed and her lips carried a hint of gloating: "Third uncle?"
Su Rui was speechless.
Uncle my ass ~
That's right. Su Rui was Third Master Yin. The Third Master Yin who made all the ladies in Liao City change their expressions!
Seeing Su Wan's teasing expression, Su Rui couldn't help but take a step forward. He leaned over and quietly stuck to Su Wan. "Wife, don't be naughty."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Su Wan wanted to smile but then she started coughing violently.
In this era, this cough was considered an inauspicious disease and a incurable disease. But in reality, Su Wan wasn't sick. She was just poisoned by a chronic poison. This poison would slowly corrode her internal organs. Although she wasn't beyond cure, the poison had already invaded her lungs, causing her to cough for a long time.
Hearing her coughing, Su Rui's sharp gaze immediately darkened.
He lifted his hand and pressed Su Wan's acupuncture point. His internal energy flowed into Su Wan's body bit by bit.
Feeling that Su Rui was detoxifying her, Su Wan immediately closed her eyes, held her breath, and slowly let the qi in her body circulate smoothly. Not long after, her pale face finally had a trace of color.
At this time, Shuning's anxious voice rang from outside.
"First madam, first madam, this way please!"
Yao Baiqian was here!
Hearing Shuning's voice, Su Wan suddenly opened her eyes. Murderous intent flashed through her eyes.
The next moment.
"Third uncle!"
Su Wan suddenly grabbed Su Rui's sleeves, her expression bitter. She looked up at the man by the bed helplessly. "Third uncle, Xiao Wan is begging you. I'm begging you. Let Shuning go! I don't have much time left. She's the only one who can talk to me. I brought her from the Su Family. She's not from the Yin Family. If third uncle likes her, Xiao Wan can help you find someone prettier than Shuning … "
The moment Yao Baiqian entered, she heard Su Wan begging Yin Mingye.
The Yin Family's courtyard was huge but every single blade of grass and tree in the courtyard was under Yao Baiqian's control.
When Yin Mingye appeared, someone reported to Yao Baiqian. Yao Baiqian looked down on her brother-in-law, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Every time he appeared, he would cause chaos in the house. Yao Baiqian paid attention to this Third Master.
Knowing that Yin Mingye went straight to Su Wan's room, Yao Baiqian couldn't sit still anymore.
In Yao Baiqian's eyes, Su Wan was a vixen. Her eldest son died because of her. Her second son and his wife didn't get along because of her. Now, even the disappointing third master ran into her room.
Hence, after Yao Baiqian received the news, she immediately brought her personal maid, Zhen Lan, to the side courtyard in a hurry …
"Ahem."
The moment they entered the room, Yao Baiqian coughed subconsciously.
"Mother!"
Seeing Yao Baiqian's dignified and dignified figure, Su Wan immediately retracted her hands nervously and struggled to get off the bed.
"Okay, okay. You don't have to come down and greet me with your current condition."
Seeing Su Wan's sickly face, as well as the fear and respect in her eyes, Yao Baiqian waved her hands magnanimously. She didn't have much time left anyways. Yao Baiqian didn't want to argue with Su Wan.
"Yo, sister-in-law's here."
Su Rui turned his head and glanced at Yao Baiqian and Zhen Lan. Yao Baiqian felt like she was being stared at by a venomous snake after his glance.
This … was definitely a misconception.
Yao Baiqian focused. When she looked at him again, she saw him smiling at Zhen Lan. "I haven't seen you for a while. Sister Zhen Lan has gotten prettier!"
Although Zhen Lan was Yao Baiqian's personal maid, she was only twenty-seven in reality. She was only one year older than Yin Mingye.
Yao Baiqian, the mistress of the household, naturally had to be outstanding in all aspects. Not only was Zhen Lan efficient, but she also knew how to read people's expressions. She was also good at needlework. Most importantly, she had a beautiful face.
Speaking of which, this was also Yao Baiqian's most brilliant point. She placed the most capable and beautiful servant girl in the residence by her side to serve her.
This way, she didn't need to worry about her man being seduced by those useless maids.
A trace of fear flashed through Zhen Lan's face but she quickly calmed down. "Thank you third master for your compliment. Third master, you've become more and more handsome lately."
"Oh."
Su Rui lifted his brows. "Sister Zhen Lan, you sure have a sweet mouth. No wonder brother … cough, sister-in-law really trusts you."
"I'm afraid."
Zhen Lan's expression turned even uglier. She subconsciously clenched her fists and lowered her head, not daring to meet the third master's gaze.
"Heh."
Yao Baiqian smiled faintly. "Third brother, although it's broad daylight, Xiao Wan is Beiyue's widow after all. People will gossip if you stay here for too long. If there's nothing special, you … shouldn't come to this side courtyard in the future. Xiao Wan's body is weak and she's seriously ill. If she accidentally spreads her illness to you, it'll be troublesome."
"Sister-in-law, you're right. Actually, I'm here today …"
Su Rui's gaze shifted and he looked at Yao Baiqian. "I really have good intentions. I'm here to treat Xiao Wan's illness."
"You?"
Yin Mingye knew how to treat illnesses?
What kind of joke was this?
Yao Baiqian wanted to say something but Su Rui didn't give her the chance. "Of course, I naturally don't know how to treat illnesses but I recently got to know a foreign doctor, Mr. Smith! He's a doctor from the church. I heard that he's really good and many tuberculosis patients were cured by him. I think that since Xiao Wan is so young and the Yin Family can afford it, why don't we ask Mr. Smith to treat Xiao Wan? Sister-in-law, what do you think? "
"Nonsense!"
Yao Baiqian panicked hearing Su Rui's words but she still put on a righteous expression. "Those foreigners aren't reliable at all. They want to cut open people's stomachs at the slightest provocation. People who aren't of the same race must have different intentions! Third brother, how can you believe what they say? Plus, your elder brother hates dealing with foreigners. Mingye, don't ever mention this again! "
Saying this, Yao Baiqian flung her sleeves angrily.
Act, keep acting!
Su Rui sneered inside. You're clearly afraid that people will find out the real reason why Su Wan is "sick." What's the point of acting so much?
Although he hated Yao Baiqian to the bone, Su Rui still revealed a knowing expression. "Sister-in-law, you're right. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Saying this, Su Rui walked outside in large strides. When he passed by Zhen Lan, he winked at her. When he passed by Shuning, he lifted his brows, seemingly wanting to touch Shuning's face. The girl was so scared that she immediately fell to the ground.
"Haha."
Seeing this, Su Rui seemed to be in a great mood. He laughed and walked out.
After his figure disappeared, Su Wan looked hopefully at Yao Baiqian. "Mother, Xiao Wan won't be able to live for long. Shuning, she …"
"I know what I'm doing. Rest well."
