“Also, whether or not one dares to violate the tribe’s rules will depend on how tempting the matter is.” Su Binglan’s eyes narrowed as she spoke with a dangerous tone.
However, she did not know the Miao Tribe’s role in Thundercloud Castle’s incident. She felt things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Miao Zhizhi’s expression turned cold. “Do you need me to return to the tribe and investigate?”
She also thought this matter was severe since she had witnessed her sister’s voodoo on an innocent person. It meant her little sister had contacted some people outside the tribe.
Although Miao Zhizhi only wanted to live and work with Su Fengchen without caring about the Miao Tribe anymore, she still wanted to help Su Binglan. Since she had become Su Binglan’s aunt, she could not ignore her niece’s needs.
Su Binglan knew Miao Zhizhi was in deep thought, so she said softly, “Aunt Zhizhi, you don’t have to return to the tribe. I can’t allow you to investigate, even if you wanted to.”
Indeed, Su Binglan wanted to know some things about the Miao Tribe and what was happening. Still, she would not allow her aunt to return and take risks.
If things went well for the Miao Tribe, Miao Zhizhi would not have fled and fainted before Su Fengchen found her.
‘Aunt Zhizhi must’ve experienced something terrible related to the tribe back then.’
Su Binglan was highly protective toward her own people. Since the Miao Tribe could be dangerous, she would not let Miao Zhizhi go there. Su Binglan wanted to investigate the Miao Tribe personally if possible.
However, she could not go now because she still had many more things to do. Therefore, she could only task someone else to investigate it for her.
Miao Zhizhi knew her niece wanted to protect her and was concerned. Her heart felt warm as she said, “But I’m familiar with the tribe.’
Su Binglan shook her head. “It’s okay. I have my ways of dealing with these things. You don’t have to worry about it, Aunt Zhizhi. Also, I’m about to cure
Lei Tongtong of the Gu worm. I need you to watch as it comes out.”
She felt more at ease with a Miao Tribe member watching. In addition, Gu was not an ordinary poison, and the situation was complicated.
Miao Zhizhi saw Su Binglan taking the silver needles and asked, “Binglan, will you kill the Gu worm when it comes out?”
Su Binglan shook her head. “If it’s helpful, I can use it to track the culprit, but I’ll kill it otherwise.’
Miao Zhizhi’s tribe was on the southern border, and she was proficient at using poison, but she had never heard of someone being able to track a killer through a Gu.
She was puzzled as to how Su Binglan would track that person. Still, she knew her niece was highly competent. There were things many could not do, but Su Binglan could.
Miao Zhizhi looked at her confident niece and could not help but admire her. She felt Su Binglan could kill a group of people in seconds if she went to the Miao Tribe.
Su Binglan packed her things and told her aunt, “Let’s go to the west wing.”
Lei Tongtong and Gongsun MO were in the west wing of the house’s western
courtyard. As for Lan Ruozhu, he was tired after a busy day, and Su Binglan had prepared the things he needed for his medicinal bath.
Meanwhile, Blue Eagle could stand guard. Then Lan Ruozhu rested for a night after his bath. His body would feel much better the following day. Initially, he was worried about his sister removing the Gu and wanted to help.
However, he did as Su Binglan said after she persuaded him. Lan Ruozhu was stubborn—others could never persuade him, but he always listened to his sister.
At that moment, Gongsun MO was lying on the bed with his legs fixed. Lei Tongtong was taking care of him and talking to him. When Gongsun MO looked at his wife, gentleness filled his eyes. He could only feel happy and alive with her around.
There was only hatred in Gongsun Mo e s heart when the emperor exterminated his family. Although he had survived, he lived like a walking corpse. However, he felt his life had become more colorful after going to Thundercloud Castle and meeting Lei Tongtong.
Gongsun MO only felt his heart beating again with her beside him.
Lei Tongtong knew she had gotten poisoned but did not seem to feel anything. She was only concerned about her husband’s physical condition. She feared he would get bored lying down, so she often talked to him.
“Su Teng Village has a lot of delicious food, dear. It’s much more convenient for us to get food here. Miss Shen’s cooking was so delicious, and I ate until I got full. The house is vast, too. The family is perfect, and Sister Su is very kind.’
Gongsun Mo’s mood improved when he looked at his wife’s happy expression. However, he was still worried about her and could not help but frown. He stroked her hair softly and asked, “Are you uncomfortable?”
Lei Tongtong shook her head and said, “No, you don’t have to worry about me. Sister Su says my life isn’t in danger.”
Gongsun MO looked at her amusingly and said, “You’re already calling her
Sister Su?”
“Yes, I am.”
Su Binglan was a few months older than Lei Tongtong, so she told the young girl not to call her “Miss Su” but “Sister Su” instead.
Lei Tongtong was talking to her husband when Su Binglan and Miao Zhizhi walked in. Su Binglan told Lei Tongtong, “Lie down a while, and I’ll extract the
Gu from you.”
Lei Tongtong nodded obediently, then lay on the brick bed beside her.
Su Binglan observed her expression and knew she was nervous but still put on a brave front. Su Binglan guessed she probably did that so Gongsun MO would not worry.
Su Binglan could not help but feel sorry for Lei Tongtong. “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt.’
“Yes, 1 trust you, Sister Su.” Lei Tongtong believed everything Su Binglan said and was unafraid.
Meanwhile, Gongsun MO worried for his wife because she feared insects. He tried sitting up, saying, “Miss Su, can I stay beside her? I’m worried.”
He was anxious to stay by Lei Tongtongs side but worried about breaking his legs support after moving around too much. Then Su Binglan would have worked hard for nothing. Gongsun MO was also sensitive and did not want to cause trouble for others.
Su Binglan understood his feelings and said, “You don’t have to move. Just sit on the bed. Tongtong, you can lie next to MO while I extract the Gu worm.”
Lei Tongtong shook her head, then said to her husband, “I’m fine, dear. I’ll sit with you after Sister Su extracts the worm.”
She feared the worm would come out and enter Gongsun Mo’s body, and Su
Binglan could see her thoughts. Su Binglan could not help but laugh, “In that case, you can sit by the side and watch, Mo. But, Tongtong, you must remove your outerwear.”
Lei Tongtongs eyes widened.. “Huh?”
