"The Concentric Gu in brother-in-law’s body..." After taking his pulse, Yan Lingzhen’s refined eyebrows knitted together, "It’s indeed quite troubleso; the Poisonous Insect has fused with his blood vessels. If we want to get the Child Poisonous Insect out, we still need to start with Huai Xini."
"Now she’s clenched her teeth and refuses to speak; she’s smart enough to know that once she reveals the cure, she can’t be allowed to live." Xiao Pingfeng spoke indifferently, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
It’s just a Concentric Gu, after all; he didn’t believe that a solution couldn’t be found in all corners of the world.
"Your sister has been working hard these days; have you prescribed any redies for her to recover?" Xiao Pingfeng looked at Yan Lingzhen and asked.
Yan Lingzhen thought about her sister’s increasingly rounded waist. If she kept on nourishing her, what would happen if a super-large child was born?
"No," she said, shaking her head directly, "not only can she not nourish herself, she must also control her diet."
No sooner had she finished speaking, Yan Lingzhen felt a chill on her neck as if a chilling aura were upon her.
She couldn’t help but swallow hard, "That... brother-in-law, hear out, there is much to consider here, our initial intention is for the good of my sister..."
It took an entire afternoon for Yan Lingzhen to thoroughly instill the core scientific concepts of how a pregnant woman should reasonably control her diet and the baby’s weight into her brother-in-law’s mind, successfully recruiting him to her side in this campaign.
With brother-in-law on board, that uncontrollable sister of hers would be much easier to manage.
"Xiaoliu, what you said is right; Wanwan has indeed beco a bit more plump recently. To ensure a smooth delivery, her late-night snacks will have to be cut off." Xiao Pingfeng thought it made more and more sense.
"Diet control alone won’t do; we must also pair it with reasonable exercise. The sun has just set, and the temperature is just right for a stroll." Yan Lingzhen’s eyebrows raised with delight, as she cast out the problem that had troubled her for a long ti.
Usually, after dinner, sister would start reading military texts and imrse herself in all kinds of strategies. In the long run, thinking too deeply is not good for the developing baby’s heart.
Both of these spouses are of a reserved nature. If they have another little introvert, it would be awkward when all three sat together without anything to say. What to do?
This cannot be; Yan Lingzhen absolutely wouldn’t allow this to happen.
"And brother-in-law, before going to sleep at night, you need to tell the baby stories," Yan Lingzhen continued to instruct.
Xiao Pingfeng seed puzzled, "Are you asking to lull your sister to sleep?"
"No, no, no, it’s about telling stories to the baby. dical texts have shown that a father’s deep voice can fully promote the baby’s brain developnt and peace of mind." Yan Lingzhen inford Xiao Pingfeng of everything she had learned from a modern obstetric book, not worrying about whether he could digest it all.
Watching her brother-in-law, who seed to understand yet didn’t fully grasp, go find her sister for a walk, Yan Lingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, what a worry; what would this family do without , Yan Xiaoliu!" Yan Lingzhen felt the weight on her shoulders was just too heavy.
After talking until her mouth was dry, she poured herself a cup of tea. Just after a few sips, she suddenly felt a sense of lancholy while watching the setting sun, wondering how Shen Sister was doing now.
Sister has been constantly talking about wanting to go to the Divine Church of Light to rescue Shen Sister these past few days, but with her current physical condition and pregnancy, and brother-in-law now afflicted with the Concentric Gu, all problems have piled up together, truly reaching a stalemate.
She truly wish that soone would appear now and break this deadlock.
At the pavilion, a breeze blew gently; sister and brother-in-law must have gone for a walk. The cicadas chirped and frogs croaked, creating a rare tranquility.
"Miss Six! Miss Six!" The servant boy ran over from the corridor.
Yan Lingzhen: "What’s wrong?"
The servant boy, out of breath with sweat on his forehead: "It’s not good, Miss Six, there’s a group of troublemakers outside the gate!"
"What?!" Yan Lingzhen slamd the teacup onto the table forcefully: "Just because the tiger doesn’t show its power, they think I’m a sick cat. Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to strut around and cause trouble at my door!"
She grandly waved her hand: "Grab your weapons, let’s go et these people!"
Yan Xiaoliu simply didn’t believe it, who would have the courage of the bear and leopard to be so provocative.
A short while later.
"Sister Five, it hurts, it hurts!" Yan Lingzhen tiptoed, her earlobe being pinched by Yan Hongzhao, she begged for rcy with both hands raised, "If I knew it was you, even with a hundred guts, Xiaoliu wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous!"
Yan Hongzhao had the doorman go and make an announcent, then stood with her back to them as she laid down the law for her underlings.
"Once you step through this door, pack away the bandit’s air about you. If I find anyone who can’t change their stripes, they’d better watch their head!"
Seeing the tough guys hanging their heads in silence, Yan Hongzhao frowned, "Have you all beco mute? Did you hear clearly or not!"
"Loud and clear, boss!" The burly n imdiately shouted back.
Just then, Yan Lingzhen inside the door heard them, and without a word, she picked up a basin of water and tossed it out, "Yelling for what? It’s soone else’s doorway, what’s there to get so worked up about!"
If it hadn’t been for Yan Hongzhao’s quick reflexes, the bucket of water would have drenched her from head to toe.
Ti rewound to the beginning.
Yan Lingzhen glared fiercely at the servant who had spread the false alarm.
She had gone mad; how could she not recognize her own Sister Five and instead mistake her for a troublemaker.
"It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, you’ve really grown a spine," Yan Hongzhao released her grip and robustly picked Yan Lingzhen up, remarking, "Hmm, you’ve indeed gained so weight, and gotten taller too. Before long, you will have beco a young lady."
Ever since her aunt passed away, she had been searching for ways to make herself stronger. That’s why she had conquered one mountaintop after another, turning these illiterate, roughneck bandits into an organized, disciplined group.
Now, she felt she was nearly there and finally had the confidence to return ho.
Yan Lingzhen hugged her Sister Five tightly, her eyes moistening, "Welco ho, Sister Five."
Yan Hongzhao put her down on the ground and reached out her hand to pull her along, "Co, I’ll introduce you to Sister Five’s n, so you don’t end up mistaking them for bandits and poisoning them to death."
The forcibly conscripted bandits: "..."
The group of burly n with fierce looks exchanged glances, but not a single one dared to speak out of turn.
"What are you all standing around for? Co and et my sixth sister; from now on, she’s your young mistress," Yan Hongzhao said in a lowered voice.
"t the young mistress!" Without any hesitation, in perfect unison, the group of sturdy n were as obedient as a bunch of oddly shaped cats.
Yan Lingzhen couldn’t help but secretly give her Sister Five a thumbs-up.
Aweso!
"Big Brother and his wife went for a stroll and should be back by now. Let’s hurry inside and wait for them, Sister Five," Yan Lingzhen felt awkward under the gaze of the large cats, promptly greeted them, and then pulled Yan Hongzhao inside, anwhile instructing the servant, "Arrange comfortable accommodations for the brothers, make sure they’re comfortable."
The servant who had made the blunder quickly bowed and agreed.
Just inside the door, Yan Lingzhen couldn’t contain her curiosity, "Sister Five, how did you get..." She gestured with her thumb towards the outside, "them to be so obedient?"
Yan Hongzhao raised her hand, making a fist, "This."
Yan Lingzhen: "Wow!"
