Chapter 1339: Bai Muzi Is Still Here

Nie Cong was stunned. At the mention of this, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

However, he quickly asked in surprise, “How did you know that Miss Cui was the one who smashed her?”

“Because I was outside the Yan Residence yesterday and saw Cui Lan enter with my own eyes. I also saw Sister-in-law enter the Yan Residence. Later on, there were rumors that Cui Lan and Sister-in-law had an argument…” Gu Yundong took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Nie Cong had an “I see” expression on his face, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.

“You know Cui Lan? And… you stayed outside the Yan Residence for an entire day? Why do I feel like you were spying on the Yan Residence?”

Gu Yundong shook his head and laughed. Nie Cong was still the same Nie Cong.

Moreover, after two years of training, he seemed to have become even sharper.

She did not hide it and said directly, “I do know Cui Lan, and I’m also keeping an eye on the Yan Residence.”

“How come?”

“You know that my mother’s head was once injured. That’s why she’s like a child now. Imperial Physician Song said that if we want to cure her, we need a very precious and rare medicine. That medicine is Bai Muzi. For the past two years, I’ve been looking for Bai Muzi. Later, I learned from Cui Lan that the Yan Residence has such a medicine.”

Bai Muzi??

Nie Cong frowned, and his expression immediately became strange. After a long while, he sighed and said, “Bai Muzi… was used to save my wife yesterday. The Yan Residence is also gone. I…”

“No.” Gu Yundong interrupted Nie Cong. “Bai Muzi should still be in Yan Yihai’s hands right now. He’s keeping it well.”

Nie Cong looked puzzled. “No? Yesterday, after I found out that my wife was injured, I immediately went to the Yan Residence and saw the medicine the doctor gave my wife with my own eyes.”

“Then are you sure that it’s Bai Muzi?” Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes and asked, “Do you know that there’s a medicine in this world that’s very similar to Bai Muzi? Do you know Bai Muzi?”

This question rendered Nie Cong speechless.

He was not a doctor, so it was naturally impossible for him to understand Bai Muzi. It was only now that he learned from Gu Yundong that this medicine was so precious.

Nie Cong felt that something was amiss.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table. After a long while, he said, “What do you know? How much do you know about Bai Muzi and the Yan Residence? Tell me everything.”

“Before I tell you that, can I ask you something else?” Gu Yundong suddenly looked at him curiously.

This expression made Nie Cong, who was prepared to accept a huge truth, choke. The seriousness from before disappeared.

He asked helplessly, “What is it?”

“How did you and sister-in-law become husband and wife?” Gu Yundong’s eyes were obviously filled with gossip.

The corners of Nie Cong’s mouth twitched. He didn’t look like he wanted to say anything.

“Aunt Ke didn’t tell you?”

Gu Yundong shook her head. “After she went back, she only mentioned to me that you were married.”

At that time, she was puzzled. Why didn’t Nie Cong return to the Xuanhe Prefecture after getting married?

Moreover, it seemed that the Nie family was not very satisfied with this marriage. Otherwise, why would Aunt Ke, Madam Nie, and Nie Shuang be the only ones who came to the capital? Old Master Nie had never come.

Nie Cong felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He couldn’t bring himself to say such a private matter.

But Gu Yundong looked as if she would not say anything unless he confessed. It was really frustrating.

Forget it.

Nie Cong heaved a sigh of relief and began to talk about his relationship with Yan Ya.
