Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 275 - 267: "But This Lord Wen Yuan—Do You Know Anything About Him?

Chapter 275: Chapter 267: "But This Lord Wen Yuan—Do You Know Anything About Him?

In front of Xie Huai’an, he twisted his face in pain and spoke.

"I... I just need to deliver the letter back to Lord Wen Yuan of Ru Ning. I was arranged to be part of the Hidden Guard to assassinate Han Ling, and it was all at the direction of Mr. Wen! The rest, the rest I genuinely don’t know."

He twisted in extreme pain, as if his whole body was being pricked by needles, sweat pouring like rain.

Even Vice Minister Dong was witnessing such a tormenting poison for the first time. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The key was that it didn’t let him die, just suffer through the effects of the poison in agony.

To be safe, Ruan Mian did not choose to believe him at the first outbreak of the poison.

"Husband, let’s wait two more days. Today, I gave him a relief medicine, and he’s tasted the sweetness. He won’t be able to endure the next outbreak. If there are still things unanswered, we can interrogate again then."

"But this Lord Wen Yuan, do you know anything about him?"

Ruan Mian tried hard to recall if this person appeared in the original text, but couldn’t find the name. Instead, Xie Huai’an frowned deeply.

"Wen Yuan should be one of the Princess’ people, Mianmian, I really have to ’die’ once this time."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian looked at him confused: "What do you mean by that?"

"I have already had the Assistant Minister alter the letter to be sent to Wen Yuan’s place, making others think that I have been poisoned by them."

When Xie Huai’an said this, Ruan Mian suddenly understood: "Husband intends to use the strategy to fake death? Then secretly return to the Capital City to investigate."

On the surface, the Fifth Princess’ hand has already reached into Wuheng, his Hidden Guard place. If not a drastic measure isn’t taken, it could be extremely dangerous, and there might be many pieces of evidence destroyed by their group.

The matter of Wuheng Land may not have revealed the most direct evidence, so in his view, it is time to return to the Capital City to enter the den of the tiger.

Although Ruan Mian was already mentally prepared, the matter came suddenly, and she was momentarily stunned, thinking it over carefully for him.

Xie Huai’an seemingly saw through her thoughts, lightly smiled, and rubbed her hand in his palm.

"Mianmian, don’t worry about me. What I need to investigate in Wuheng Land, I have already done. Now it’s time to return to the Capital City. The power the Princess’ group has planted in the court has surpassed my expectations."

In the original text, King Yan’s rebellion occurred in the Capital City.

At that time, King Yan had already been fostered into a large army by the Fifth Princess and her people, usually using space to gather considerable wealth, giving King Yan enough money to expand the army, so as to directly strike Huanglong.

And now, the main plot of the original text should have reached this point.

She only hopes that the rebellion in this life won’t be as tragic and city-ruining as in the original text.

Ruan Mian believes the development of things will definitely differ from the original text.

After all, the space was taken by herself, and Qi Nanfeng and many major villains of King Yan’s group were strangled by herself.

It is not so easy to hoard wealth by the Princess’ group.

Perhaps one person’s strength cannot shake a mountain, cannot change the direction of a river.

But with accumulation, everything changes, sure to have the power to move mountains and overturn seas.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mian nodded, grasping his hand sincerely said: "If you have this plan, I will just wait here for you to come back."

Xie Huai’an affectionately stroked her hair: "But I still need my lady to help me with something."

"As for the fake death, I have many methods, but I think the most direct is to die publicly."

"My lady has great abilities, I wonder if you have any drug for fake death that can temporarily stop a person’s pulse, making it undetectable that they are alive."

Ruan Mian frowned slightly, carefully searching in her mind.

Some memories surged in her mind.

The space had various herbs, and the medical books were just as complete.

Previously, from the shop in the Capital City, when the family was raided, there were all sorts of peculiar prescriptions looted, seemingly there is this kind of temporary organ numbing drug effect.

Part of the poison branch.

But this drug also has some damage to the body, if not taking the antidote in a day, fake death will turn into real death.

Even with the antidote, it has irreversible damage to the body.

She hesitated a bit over this: "Besides this method, is there any other way?"

"Mianmian?"

Xie Huai’an guessed things weren’t that simple.

Ruan Mian had to tell him the truth, but Xie Huai’an was indifferent, just said: "There are other methods, but in comparison, this method is more credible."

"Once you’re faking death, it must seem real so that when I return to the Capital City, it won’t attract attention."

He made a very good point, without entering the tiger’s den, you can’t catch its cub, just as you can’t catch the wolf if you’re unwilling to sacrifice the goat.

Having already made the risky move, simply cannot leave any traces.

Ruan Mian decided to give him this drug.

And beforehand discussed the specific plan with him.

Once everything was ready, she looked at Xie Huai’an on the bed, feeling a sense of reluctance in her heart.

Vice Minister Dong deeply understood the two still had more to say, so discreetly left the room, giving them the chance to be alone.

Actually, Ruan Mian with space in hand, could silently sneak into the Capital City with him to aid him.

She had considered it.

However, when she had that thought, the space system warnings would automatically pop up in her mind, warning her not to engage directly in the causal link of the book.

Back then, Ruan Mian even laughed, she crossed over, got the golden finger, and even altered the fate paths of many characters in the book, already engaging in causality.

She didn’t see any system warnings then, but now these warnings appeared.

If ignored, everything she worked to change in Wuheng City would revert to its original state.

For this, Ruan Mian comforted herself that perhaps the main storyline still required the protagonists to go through by themselves.

Estimating that the system feared she opened the golden finger too much, and with her power alone eliminated all villains, how would the story proceed then?

Her own whimsical imagination made herself laugh in exasperation.

In the end, she could only obediently stay in Wuheng, be the richest person, live a good life, just can’t enter the Capital City.

It’s indeed like being exiled.

She took a deep breath, hugged Xie Huai’an and instructed: "You must send me letters, although I am far away, if you need help, I will definitely not spare any efforts."

"Just like you said, I’m a person with strong abilities, so if faced with dangers or difficulties, don’t be afraid to involve me and not tell me. As now you and I are one, if you suffer an accident, I surely cannot live well."

Xie Huai’an felt a surge of warmth, before this, he never thought there would be a woman who cared about him so much in this world.

Being cared for and missed by someone, yet he had to disappoint her due to the burdens on his shoulders.

He took out the gem hanging around his neck.

"You are always by my side, wait for me to come back."

This was the gem Ruan Mian had given him from the dagger before, he only took the one from the scabbard.

Ruan Mian nodded heavily, and Xie Huai’an did not forget to promise her: "I will take good care, and regarding your brother’s matter, it will not be affected by me, the people I sent to find him are still searching, any piece of news will be immediately brought to you."

Ruan Mian quietly shed tears, unable to resist hugging him tightly, planting a kiss on his lips.
