The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1726 - 1725: This Poison Has No Cure

It seems only You Xiaoxiao would pull off this kind of runaway stunt.The rest of us care about saving face.

"Do you remember what Tang Rao did to you the last time you ran away? Now you want to run away again?"

You Xiaoxiao thought back for a moment, and the reminder almost scared her into a cold sweat.

"That time, I was really mad. Otherwise, why would I even run away from home?"

But even running away, she didn't commit some heinous crime, so why did Tang Rao find You Xiaoxiao, drag her back and almost keep her bedridden for half a month?

That was a dark history that's hard to forget, and all the sisters found out about it. During that time, they kept bringing her food and medicine.

You Xiaoxiao really wants to forget that story. Why bring it up now, what's the point?

"So, don't even think about running away. We're already busy enough with the shop every day. Want us to serve you tea and meals at this time? We don't have that much time and we don't want to make fun of you—ha ha ha ha!"

It was clearly supposed to be a criticizing conference for Tang Rao, how did it suddenly become mocking You Xiaoxiao?

"You guys talk about Tang Rao, but don't drag everything onto me. Forget that last incident, just forget about it, don't bring it up again!"

You Xiaoxiao, waving her arms wildly in front of her good sisters, still being a girl, feels thin-skinned and embarrassed to talk about such things openly.

"Fine, we won't bring it up. Alright, we've all forgotten it. No one knows you once got brought back by Tang Rao and executed household rules, ending up bedridden for almost half a month."

Tu Hongxiu was straightforward, replaying the scene from back then.

Is this called forgetting?

Is this really forgetting?

You Xiaoxiao is a bit skeptical.

"Xiaoxiao, Sister Hongxiu is just joking with you. Secrets among sisters are just for laughing about in a small circle, the outside world will never find out. Rest assured."

When Tang Rao punished You Xiaoxiao, Bei Lin hadn't gotten together with Tang Rao yet, she was the one listening most attentively earlier. After laughing, she felt she should console You Xiaoxiao to prevent her from doing something foolish.

"Tang Rao brought back two men. We've never seen them before. I'm worried Tang Rao suddenly changes his personality and no longer likes women, suddenly likes men. Do you say tomorrow we should continue running the shop or, while Tang Rao is busy, find those two men and ask them clearly?"

The scenario You Xiaoxiao couldn't even imagine, Zhang Kexin not only thought about it, she thought deeply about it. As soon as she spoke, Bei Lin was startled and covered Zhang Kexin's mouth.

"Sister Bei Lin, I'm just voicing my thoughts, why won't you let me speak?"

Zhang Kexin struggled to break free from Bei Lin's hand, gasping for breath, not understanding why Bei Lin stopped her.

"You're not speaking; you're spreading nonsense. I know Shu Yi, he and Tang Rao are just friends. As for the other one, I asked Shu Yi, they met during a gambling stone event, nothing unusual between them. It's you always thinking about weird stuff."

Ah? Bei Lin already went to verify their relationship?

Zhang Kexin doesn't feel embarrassed, instead asks Bei Lin: "Sister Bei Lin, you say you investigated their relationship early on, which means you also suspected? Then why won't you let me talk?"

How can this be?

Bei Lin just wanted to clarify their relationship is pure, not that she went off suspecting things.

She wanted to explain further but worried the more she explained, the messier it got, so she decided to stay silent, leaving Zhang Kexin alone to endlessly fantasize.

"Keep running the shop, gossip continues, and business must continue. If I'm not mistaken, as the host, he'll definitely invite these two distant guests to take a good look at his masterpiece. Aren't we then doing business and making acquaintances?"

Bai Xiaotong speaks up, as the 'elder' among these women, Bai Xiaotong's words are like a decree, more decisive than Wang Han's. Once she speaks, everyone promptly agrees.

"That's right, Auntie's idea is great. Ever since spending more time with Auntie, I realize making money truly brings happiness and joy; I don't want to lose money over gossip."

You Xiaoxiao seized on the topic and continued talking, inserting after a topic, her own topic quickly received no further attention.

"You all chat, I have a few medical books to sort, I'll head back first."

The person least enthusiastic in the whole scene is Wen Jinjin.

From the gossip about Tang Rao, to You Xiaoxiao and those two men, none of the topics interested Wen Jinjin.

All the women were so engrossed in their chat, none realized Wen Jinjin's peculiar situation.

"Go ahead, go ahead, everyone knows you're the busiest, Jin Jin, remember you mentioned medicine for weight management, don't forget to prepare it for me; I'm waiting."

Fang Jinxiu says to Wen Jinjin. After one line, she didn't offer to walk Wen Jinjin.

"I remember, I'll prepare it once I get back."

Wen Jinjin replies absent-mindedly.

She has worries unrelated to herself, unrelated to Tang Rao but concerning Tu Hongxiu.

Lately, through Illusion City, Tang Rao asked Wen Jinjin to move around during her free time, checking Kao Shan Sect's brothers' health.

Wen Jinjin took Tang Rao's orders to heart. Lately, she's checked many people throughout Zijing City, including Tu Hongxiu's dad, Tu Lingfeng.

Tu Lingfeng kept complaining about headaches, even asked Wen Jinjin to check for him. Wen Jinjin used to look but found no problems. Later, Tu Lingfeng said his legs hurt too, attracting more of Wen Jinjin's attention.

For the second instance, she conducted a full-body check-up on Tu Lingfeng, an inspection that drained nearly half her Immortal Energy.

Efforts paid off—though nothing was detected initially, she did find the problem.

Tu Lingfeng's pain isn't natural; he was poisoned by an incurable toxin.

Wen Jinjin couldn't comprehend who wanted Tu Hongxiu's father dead?

Kao Shan Sect can't afford to lose a life.
