The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 567: 567 Give Qinghe private money 1

She didn’t mention it, so he naturally pretended as if nothing happened.

Seeing fourth brother’s indifferent expression and not mentioning the eighty taels she hadn’t reported, Su Qingyue couldn’t help feeling moved in her heart.

She composed herself and said lightly, “There’s one more thing.”

Xiao Yishan looked at her with gentle eyes, “Yue’er, go ahead.”

Yuchuan smiled and said, “Good wife, I’m listening.”

“It’s like this.” Su Qingyue spoke calmly, “I’ve developed a detoxification formula for the poison third brother has been afflicted with. However, I couldn’t collect all the necessary herbs from the mountain. We need to buy a few more and I’ve already asked the price in advance – it’s quite expensive, requiring seventy taels. Since we didn’t have that much money before, I’m only mentioning it now.”

Xiao Yishan was very surprised, “Chuan is not sick, but poisoned?”

Yuchuan was also astonished, “Wife, do you mean I’ve been poisoned and not sick at all?”

“Yes.” Su Qingyue nodded, “You’re not sick, but poisoned, and have been for over four years. If we spend seventy taels on medicine, I can detoxify you.” She glanced at second brother and third brother’s surprised expressions, obviously, she had told fourth brother about this matter before, but he hadn’t told them.

Indeed, even if they sold all their possessions, including their house, they wouldn’t have enough. That’s why she kept putting off buying the medicine to detoxify third brother – because there was no money.

With no money, third brother’s poison couldn’t be detoxified, so fourth brother saying anything was useless.

However, from this incident, it could be seen that fourth brother was truly not a talkative man.

Xiao Yuchuan believed her, but still said, “But the doctors in town couldn’t tell that I was poisoned…”

“That’s because the doctors you saw were not skilled enough.” She asked, “Can you think of anything you ate four years ago? This poison was made from Mandala Flower and was probably mixed into soup for you to drink. When you ate it, the soup should have had a bit of a weird taste. You wouldn’t have fainted suddenly after eating it, but suffered the first attack half a month later. Whoever poisoned you didn’t want to kill you, but to make you suffer from illness and poverty for a lifetime.”

Xiao Yuchuan tried to recall, “But I didn’t offend anyone at that time…”

Su Qingyue gently reminded him, “A vendetta wouldn’t be so lenient. Generally speaking, this must have been a woman’s method. You probably dallied with some wildflowers outside and someone held a grudge against you.”

Xiao Yuchuan’s face changed slightly upon hearing this, “Could it be…”

She snorted coldly, “You remember now?”

Xiao Yuchuan looked at her carefully, “Wife, are you jealous?”

She said expressionlessly, “I don’t know the details, so what’s there to be jealous of? Besides, do you even deserve my jealousy?”

“Wife, that makes me sad…” He pouted his mouth.

Su Qingyue’s gaze swept over second and fourth brother’s faces, it seemed that they knew what had happened to Chuan.

Only she was an outsider.

Xiao Yishan remained silent for a moment, “Yue’er, third brother’s private affairs are not for me to discuss. Let him explain to you himself.”

“I don’t care to know either.” She replied indifferently.

“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan tried to act pitiful, but she simply didn’t look at him.

Xiao Yishan took a look at the money on the table, “Yue’er earned so many silver taels, and second brother certainly hopes you can take out seventy taels to buy medicine for third brother and cure him first. However, since you’re the one who earned the money, how you spend it should be your decision.”
