Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 69: Turning on Someone Faster Than Flipping a Page!

Long Yue scoffed inwardly; how could she not understand the underlying meaning of her sister-in-law’s words?

She wanted to probe for news about her husband, to see if he had succeeded or failed miserably?

Long Yue didn’t have a great impression of these bizarre relatives. If it weren’t for wanting to live well with her husband, she would have flipped the table long ago.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. We’ve been together all along."

Li Qingmu slowly walked in, a faint smile on his face that didn’t reach his eyes. Wearing a grand coat, matched with his calm and composed demeanor, he exuded an indescribable elegance!

Sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, was momentarily dazzled and stuttered, "Th...third brother...you’re...you’re back..."

"Sister-in-law doesn’t seem too happy to see me back."

Li Qingmu’s gaze slowly shifted, landing on sister-in-law Wang.

Feeling a chill from his look, Wang awkwardly said, "How can that be? Aren’t we all worried about you...constantly asking about you both every day..."

"Oh my!" Before Wang could finish, the second sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang immediately shrieked and rushed over, peering left and right at Li Qingmu with a worldly look on her face, "Tut, tut, seems third brother has hit it big. What kind of fur is that you’re wearing? It looks like it could be either fox or mink fur, costing no less than a hundred taels of silver! Tut, tut, tut, aren’t you a big official now?"

"What?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned, especially when she heard "a hundred taels of silver," and almost jumped up, realizing Li Qingmu was wearing such fine fur?

She took a closer look, tutting again, indeed, just look at the gleaming and oily-looking fur. She reached out to stroke it; it was smooth, soft, and warm—definitely top-notch fur!

"Third brother, you’ve made it big, mom, third brother has made it big!"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, eyes gleaming, thinking that with his success, their fortunes would also rise, hahaha!

Did Mrs. Li Zhou need the reminder? She had actually already noticed the fur on Li Qingmu but hesitated to ask directly because of her elder status. Fortunately, these two daughters-in-law were smart enough to ask the question she wanted to ask.

"The third child has been outstanding since a young age, whether at home or at school, always top-notch. Isn’t it normal for him to succeed? Why are all of you so anxious, as if you’ve never seen the big scene before!"

Mrs. Li Zhou emphasized in a peculiar tone, but after speaking for a while, nobody paid attention to her. All surrounded Li Qingmu to size him up, and she couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, "What kind of official are you now?"

Being an official varies; a Ninth Grade Official is an official, and a fourth-rank officer is also an official, but can their status compare? No!

They didn’t know that becoming an official depends on skills and experience, merely judging Li Qingmu’s rich attire as proof of being a high-ranking official, and thus were all excited, eyes gleaming green.

But Li Qingmu just slowly shook his head, leaving everyone feeling very dissatisfied.

"Oh, third brother is putting on airs now, not willing to say? Is it because you despise us poor relatives as not being on your level? I see, why did you disappear for three or four months without coming home? Turns out you were living it up outside? Haha, mom, all the money and grain we spent on him over the years are like feeding a thankless wolf!"

Zhang Meihua was the first to pipe up, saying some very unpleasant words.

Mrs. Wang felt Li Qingmu was trying to shake them off and panicked, hurriedly saying, "Yes, I heard from storytellers that some poor scholars after achieving top honors, abandon their impoverished wives or siblings, then go to Capital City to marry daughters of noble families!

Oh, I used to think this only happened in stories, but unexpectedly, it happened to us! What a loss, the eldest brother and sister-in-law worried before about your travel expenses being insufficient and were ready to take Bai Chuan’s marriage money out for you, yet you, oh! It’s truly heart-wrenching!"

"You scholars, indeed, are really heartless!"

Zhang Meihua chimed in again, the two sisters-in-law taking turns to throw a duet performance, making Li Qingmu sound utterly ungrateful and a complete scoundrel!

Long Yue and Li Qingmu just stood there quietly watching them perform their play until A qiu ran out from behind.

"Stop talking about third brother like that! Look!"

He ran over to Li Qingmu’s side, pulling out his right hand from the grand coat for everyone to see, "Third brother encountered thieves trying to take his life on the road, he almost died out there, if not for a kind person saving him, he would’ve perished, and this grand coat was also gifted by that person, saying his bone was injured, he can’t catch cold, or he’ll have chronic issues later!"

"What?"

Everyone was astonished, looking at each other in a daze.

Was this the truth?

They looked at the deep and shallow scars on Li Qingmu’s arm, remembering that his arm used to be smooth with no scars. Could it really be...

"Wh...what’s going on..."

Mrs. Wang, realizing her previous comments were a bit overboard, felt guilty and looked at the couple awkwardly.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, A Qiu already explained it clearly. Before, I dreamed of my husband covered in blood, his life unclear. I felt inexplicable panic, and decided to find him, discovering him in a pool under a cliff. He was severely injured, and fortunately, a kind passerby saved his life.

But the doctor said, after what happened, my husband’s body won’t be as healthy as before. So, he gave me a prescription to nourish him for four seasons, and he should recover!"

Long Yue said as she took a prescription out from her bosom and handed it over, it wasn’t meant to scare them but rather because Duanmu Nan had given her a booklet and a prescription before leaving, instructing her to use it to nurse Li Qingmu back to health for a full year.

According to his words, only after experiencing the cycle of the four seasons nourishments will his body recover fully without leaving any chronic issues.

Long Yue naturally wouldn’t allow Li Qingmu to have chronic issues again, remembering how he used to cough uncontrollably every night, her heart ached just a little.

So, even if it meant selling the pot and ironing the pan, she vowed to help him recover.

Long Yue was truly sincere, but when heard by the sister-in-law’s ears, it changed in nature, thinking she intended to rely on their family!

The older sister-in-law merely wore a cold face, but the second sister-in-law directly erupted, "What? Drink medicine for four seasons, that’s a whole year! Mom, our father is already a medicine jar, now third brother too, how can we live like this? No matter how much money we earn, it won’t fill this gap!"
