Chapter 39: 39 talks without even blinking an eye

“Let’s go. This place isn’t suitable for a long stay. We’ve made quite a commotion, and the assassins will soon be upon us. We need to find a safe place first,” Sikong Mo said.

“But what about your wound…” Si Bei couldn’t help but worry.

“It’s nothing serious. My life isn’t so easily taken!” Sikong Mo, clutching his wound, despite seeming very weak, still looked like someone only the most esteemed could look up to, “Si Nan and I will look for a place, Si Bei, you go and contact the rest.”

Sikong Mo was not arrogant. Even now, had it not been for the severe poison he’d previously encountered and the ambush, his injuries wouldn’t have been this severe.

…

Ye Jiu pulled Ye Wenqing along as they ran a great distance, only stopping when they couldn’t run any further.

Reaching a quiet corner on the street, Ye Jiu, no longer caring about his appearance, just sat down on the ground, then held his chest as he gasped for air.

Ye Wenqing wasn’t in much better shape either, standing woodenly, unable to recover for quite some time.

After a while, Ye Jiu felt as if his soul, which had flown beyond the skies, finally returned to him, and he intended to stand up and quickly leave, but seeing Wenqing still dazed, Ye Jiu stopped in his tracks.

“Wenqing, what happened today, when we return home, you mustn’t tell Grandma or anyone else in the house, including your younger uncle, you understand?” Ye Jiu, propping up his plump body, squinted his eyes and said.

Ye Wenqing was brought back to his senses by these words, but his emotions were quite complicated.

Ye Jiu seldom went out, and ostensibly, she shouldn’t have had such effective medicine for treating wounds, yet now she not only had some but its effectiveness was also incredibly good.

Especially everything that happened today, it was too much of a shock for Wenqing.

Some things don’t stand up to scrutiny. Reflecting on them, Ye Jiu had roamed around town as soon as she arrived, and even inquired about a doctor’s office from him, clearly premeditated in wanting to sell the medicine.

What happened later was too sudden, unexpected by anyone.

“Hey, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?” Ye Wenqing hadn’t responded for a while, and Ye Jiu, dissatisfied, pressed for an answer.

Almost losing her life today, if the He family found out, it would be difficult for her to go out again in the future.

Moreover, the origin of the medication she had was also difficult to explain.

As for Wenqing, if she could have gotten rid of him, she wouldn’t have let him know. However, in Ye Jiu’s eyes, Wenqing was just a simple young man, and she was confident about managing him.

Being pressed by Ye Jiu again, Wenqing felt a bit flustered, and looking at Ye Jiu, he hesitantly asked, “Little Aunt, is it really okay to keep this from Grandma?”

“What’s wrong with it? If we tell Grandma about today’s events, she would certainly be distressed for me, and she might end up blaming you and Fourth Brother for not protecting me. It might even cause trouble for everyone in your main family branch, do you want all your sisters-in-law to suffer too?” Ye Jiu half persuaded, half threatened.

Wenqing immediately shook his head, “I… I won’t tell anyone.” Then, a bit hesitantly, he voiced his own doubt, “Little Aunt, you deliberately went to town today to look for a doctor’s office to sell medicine, right? Where did that medicine come from?”

Ye Jiu had already prepared for Wenqing’s questions, filtering them in her mind more than once, and so she lied without blinking an eye.
