Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 584: The Woman in Black

"Alcohol? I haven’t had a drink in a long time."

"Why not?"

"My wife doesn’t allow it!"

Li Qingmu put down his pen, walked over, looked at the jug of wine, opened the lid and sniffed. The wine smelled sweet and pure, a good wine.

Nan Haitang was slightly taken aback, then understood: "Is your wife worried about your health? With such a virtuous wife, what more could one ask for in life?"

"Haha, Brother Nan, you’re flattering me!"

"This is homemade rice wine, it doesn’t intoxicate and is even good for health. A little won’t hurt," said Nan Haitang.

"Alright!"

Li Qingmu nodded, poured a cup for Nan Haitang first, then for himself, and raised his glass: "It’s so boring sitting here. It’s only Brother Nan who comes to chat with me. A toast to you!"

"Alright."

Nan Haitang smiled and drank it all in one go.

Li Qingmu also drank heartily in one gulp, smiled lightly: "Did you make this rice wine yourself?"

"Mm!"

"The taste is not bad, comparable to that of Su Shi’s."

"Brother Li, you’re too kind to say that."

Nan Haitang smiled, his smile shy.

Ah, this man is not young, with several children already, yet still so shy. But such a person is also more suitable as a spy, because his harmless appearance is truly misleading.

Li Qingmu thought of this, and somehow his heart stirred subtly, as if sensing something ominous, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

"Lord Nan, a servant from your house came looking for you, your wife wants you to return home!"

At this time, a prison guard hurriedly entered.

Nan Haitang was slightly stunned, tightened the packet of powder in his left palm, and nodded gently.

That medicine... he really couldn’t administer it!

Now that his wife had called him home, it was a perfect excuse to escape, truly opportune.

"Sorry, my wife is calling, I have to go home first."

Nan Haitang appeared apologetic, and Li Qingmu laughed at him, "The wife at home is most important, go ahead!"

Nan Haitang looked a bit embarrassed, awkwardly retreated.

Once he left, it became quiet again, and Li Qingmu drank on his own.

This rice wine was really quite good, sweet and refreshing without intoxicating, think to ask Nan Haitang for more and let Su Shi taste it too.

With that thought, Li Qingmu picked up chopsticks to grab some food, suddenly his gaze focused slightly!

Because he noticed that right in front of him, there was suddenly a black silhouette.

The sense of unease grew ever stronger!

Li Qingmu stood up abruptly, staring at the figure in black, coldly said: "Who are you? This is the Dali Temple Prison, who allowed you to intrude?"

Li Qingmu’s voice was stern and harsh, but inwardly anxious, for this person could enter so silently, indicating high martial arts skills. If they were hostile, it would be very dangerous.

Li Qingmu instinctively retreated, attempting to create a distance, so he would have a chance to react should the figure attack.

The black figure swayed slightly, taking a step forward.

"I knew Nan Haitang wouldn’t lay a hand on you, so I had someone send him away."

Surprisingly, the voice was female?

Li Qingmu was slightly stunned.

"This is the Dali Temple Prison, what do you intend to do?"

Li Qingmu stared hard at the black figure opposite, seeing her take out a packet of powder from her chest and step forward, sprinkling the powder into the wine jug.

Li Qingmu’s pupils contracted violently, turning around to pick up the chair behind him to smash it forward.

"Bang!"

However, the chair shattered in midair, pieces of wood brushing past Li Qingmu.

This person’s martial arts were not just high, but unreachable!

Li Qingmu felt a chill on his back, the powder put into the wine jug, it was clearly poison!

"What, afraid?"

The black figure mocked with a laugh, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass, "Don’t be afraid, once you drink it, you’ll sleep peacefully without any pain."

"How dare you intrude the Dali Temple Prison and plot against me?"

Li Qingmu’s voice was stern and harsh, at such a time, he had to be strong, or he would truly be like fish ready for slaughter!

"Oh, thinking of struggling with me? Do you think you can?"

The black figure laughed lightly, then instantly became a shadow, closing in on Li Qingmu.

"Someone... uh..."

Li Qingmu had only shouted once before the woman tapped his acupoints, rendering him speechless.

His pupils widened, staring at her in horror.

For that cup of poison wine, already in her hand, was continually approaching him, while with her other hand, she held Li Qingmu’s jaw.

Li Qingmu’s body was immobilized by the tapped acupoints, unable to move at all, watching helplessly as she forced the poisoned wine into his mouth.

The cold wine flowed in like this, the originally clear rice wine now became deadly poison, destroying all his vitality!

He could feel his breath growing increasingly weak, his life force depleting, eyelids fighting to stay open, mind groggy.

Is this... the feeling of death?

His mind went blank, completely devoid of consciousness...

"Bang!"

The woman in black released Li Qingmu’s acupoints, supporting him to fall to the ground.

"Why did you have to resist? If you had followed us before, wouldn’t it have been better?"

The woman looked at his handsome face, shook her head slightly, the frown on her brow knotted, this scene didn’t look like suicide due to guilt.

She reached out to smooth the crease on his brow, lightly smiled: "Now it looks better! Indeed, you resemble the prince somewhat, both possessing unparalleled beauty..."

The woman murmured then disappeared like smoke.

...

After hearing the call from his family, Nan Haitang decisively went home.

He had been an orphan from a young age, deprived of family warmth, so he valued his family dearly, prioritizing wife and children unless it was a matter of principle.

Drinking with Li Qingmu wasn’t significant, a little more or less wouldn’t matter, so he promptly excused himself and left.

At home, everything was as it was.

The two children were playing happily under the big tree, his youngest son and daughter. The eldest son had already gone to school.

Such days were truly comforting!

"Dad, Dad!"

The children’s innocent voices called, alerting someone inside, who came out smiling: "Husband, how come you’re back?"

Nan Haitang was momentarily struck as if by lightning!

He stared in amazement at his puzzled wife, then at the two adorable children, and suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.

He trembled and said, "A Ying, weren’t you the one who called me back?"

Nan Haitang’s wife was stunned, baffled: "Husband, I didn’t! You... your face looks terrible? Husband, has something happened? Oh dear, husband, say something? Husband, husband?"

Nan Haitang’s wife looked puzzled as her husband dashed back as if he’d lost his soul, unsure of what had occurred?

"No, something happened, Li Qingmu must be in trouble!"

Nan Haitang’s heart sank to the bottom.
