The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1728 - 1727: He Has the Right to Know

Wang Han didn't tell Tang Rao immediately, but anyone who paid a bit of attention could notice that Wang Han was spending less time cooking privately and more time going to the common kitchen.Most of the time, she would personally go to the common kitchen and then personally ask Tu Lingfeng to make some of his specialties for her.

The people in the common kitchen found it odd at first, but later when they saw Wang Han there again, they became much calmer than before.

"Madam has arrived, is there anything you'd like to eat today? I'll prepare it for you."

When Wang Han went to the common kitchen again, she found that Tu Lingfeng wasn't there, and it was Tu Lingfeng's disciple, Wang Kai, who spoke to her.

Wang Kai's culinary skills weren't as good as Tu Lingfeng's, but they were still considered impressive within the Kao Shan Sect. He thought that if his master wasn't there and Wang Han could make do with his cooking, she would definitely agree to let him be the chef and prepare a couple of specialties. But as he spoke, Wang Han seemed not to hear him at all and directly overlooked Wang Kai, searching for Tu Lingfeng's presence. Wang Kai then realized that the person Wang Han wanted to find was always Tu Lingfeng, and she only wished to taste Tu Lingfeng's cooking.

No matter how good his culinary skills were, he was ultimately not Tu Lingfeng, so he couldn't catch Wang Han's eye.

Wang Kai put down the big ladle and sensibly said to Wang Han, "Madam, Master is unwell today and is resting at home. If you want to eat food cooked by Master, you might need to wait a couple of days. He probably won't be coming."

What?

Yesterday when Wang Han visited, she observed Tu Lingfeng and saw he seemed fine. How could it be that in such a short time, Tu Lingfeng's poison had worsened?

Rest at home for a couple of days?

In her view, if he wasn't cured, it wouldn't just be a couple of days—there might never be a chance to eat Tu Lingfeng's dishes again in the future.

"Is that so, if he's not feeling well, has a doctor been called to check on him?"

Wang Kai hadn't expected Wang Han to ask him questions. He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, "Of course a doctor has been called. Because of Master's special status, being the father of Madam Hong Xiu, the doctor who came this time was Wen Madam, who is a renowned Divine Doctor throughout North Island. With Madam here, I believe Master's health will soon recover."

When Wang Kai mentioned Wen Jinjin, his eyes were filled with such admiration that Wang Han almost couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"Wipe that look off your face and clean up the drool at the corner of your mouth. You're a grown man, and it's embarrassing to have drool everywhere."

Was Wang Kai really that bad?

He reached to touch the corner of his mouth and, indeed, found quite a bit of drool there.

"Sorry, Madam, I was just too excited and couldn't control my emotions."

Wang Han didn't waste time on Wang Kai's emotions; she promptly headed to Tu Lingfeng's residence, hoping by chance she might meet Wen Jinjin. It would only be a coincidence because she didn't find anyone in the kitchen, heard Tu Lingfeng was ill, and came to check, coincidentally meeting Wen Jinjin and asking about Tu Lingfeng's condition. The entire storyline seemed natural and unproblematic as long as it wasn't deeply interrogated.

Wang Han's guess was right. When she arrived, Wen Jinjin was performing acupuncture on Tu Lingfeng.

Various lengths of Silver Needles were pricking all over Tu Lingfeng's head.

As a chef, Tu Lingfeng had endured the agony of losing his taste in the past. To him, the small pain of having dozens of needles stuck in his head was nothing.

"Jin Jin, you're here too?"

Even knowing Wen Jinjin was there, Wang Han had to pretend she was unaware. She thought that if she continued like this, she might really become an actress someday.

"Sister Wang Han, why are you here?"

Wen Jinjin was so startled that she almost dropped the medicine box she held.

"I originally wanted to go to the kitchen and have Uncle Tu make some of his specialties for me. I don't know what's going on, but after so many days of eating at the private kitchen, I wanted to try a different taste and ended up liking Uncle Tu's cooking. So, when I went to the kitchen and didn't see anyone, I asked Wang Kai, and he mentioned Uncle Tu was sick. That's how I found out and came to see if I could help with anything."

"I see."

Does Wang Han really know nothing? Could her appearance truly be a coincidence?

Wen Jinjin was a bit flustered. If Wang Han asked her what's wrong with Tu Lingfeng, how should she respond?

"Jin Jin, is Uncle Tu's illness severe? I see your face doesn't look good. Why not tell me? In case I can help think of a solution."

Wang Han purposely asked Wen Jinjin this question. What she dreaded came swiftly indeed.

"Sister Wang Han, Uncle Tu's illness is quite tricky."

This was Tu Lingfeng's territory, and since he knew his own physical condition, Wen Jinjin chose to speak somewhat discreetly.

"Is it inconvenient to talk here?"

Wang Han was in the yard, looking toward the direction inside the house, but unfortunately, the wall blocked her view, leaving her unable to see anything.

Wen Jinjin nodded.

"Since you've given Uncle Tu acupuncture, I imagine he's now very tired. I'll visit at another time."

Could Wang Han's intentions be unclear?

Wen Jinjin packed her things, picked up her medicine box, and walked out with Wang Han.

"So, are you saying he isn't just ill but poisoned, and there's no antidote for the poison?"

It's one thing hearing from Jin Qiao; it's another hearing from Wen Jinjin.

After all, Tu Hongxiu is his biological father. If something were to happen to Tu Lingfeng at the Kao Shan Sect, there's no guarantee that Tu Hongxiu wouldn't blame Tang Rao. Tu Lingfeng's illness was initially a personal matter, but it could turn into a marital grievance that even extends to Tu Hongxiu's issues with the entire Kao Shan Sect.

Initially, Wang Han didn't think much about the person responsible's intentions, but now she finally understood their motive.

"I've thought of many methods and consulted all the Ancient Inheritance medical books, none of which mention how to cure the poison in Uncle Tu's body. This essentially means there's no cure."

Wen Jinjin, who inherited Ancient Inheritance, is implying that if her medical skills fall short, then everyone else's is just garbage. If she can't solve the poison, no one else will be able to.

She didn't think as far ahead as Wang Han, initially planning to conceal it from Tang Rao, find a way to detoxify it before informing him. But now this idea seems increasingly unrealistic.

"We can't hide it from Tang Rao. Given the seriousness, I think he has the right to know."

Wang Han decided promptly to tell Tang Rao about Tu Lingfeng's poisoning and let Tang Rao make the decisions.

"Sister Wang Han, if Tang Rao knows about it, should we also inform Sister Hongxiu?"
