Chapter 1664 - 1663: This Fierce Ghost!
As for Bei Yun, Bei Lingsu often held a motherly attitude. The hateful must have pitiable aspects—Bei Yun hadn’t been properly disciplined by elders in the past, and this was the failing of the Bei family. Now that Bei Yun had become this kind of lunatic, she carried guilt on behalf of the entire Bei family.
Because of that guilt, she had been relatively tolerant of Bei Yun most of the time. Aside from not granting him freedom, she tried to fulfill anything else he asked for.
But what about Bei Yun?
Bei Yun was still the same heartless and treacherous Bei Yun. No matter how she treated him, he remained a stubbornly unyielding stone.
Such a major matter, and he kept it hidden for a year. During this year, even though Qiao Xiaomai continued to view him with contempt, she accommodated him almost unconditionally with Floral Dew and meals. Yet this beast still concealed the truth for a year. If Tong Sanlang hadn’t inexplicably spat out his clot of blood today, no one would ever have discovered this.
Qiao Xiaomai’s anger was no less than Bei Lingsu’s. She had sold Floral Dew to Bei Yun at a lowered price, allowing him to earn a considerable profit in the last half-year through reselling. He could freely drink the Floral Dew that others sought after at all costs. Recently, she had even been making medicinal meals for him. Though she took payment, even if others begged her with extra money, she wouldn’t agree.
How did Bei Yun repay her for giving him such privileges?
If Divine Liquid hadn’t emerged today, then if Tong Sanlang were injured or poisoned again in the future, the stacking effects of severe wounds and toxins cross-contaminating would surely have killed him outright.
Detestable—this Bei Yun is absolutely detestable!
"Your Majesty! I suggest you take this malevolent ghost into custody and lock him in a prison cell!" She glared at Bei Yun, her expression vicious as she spoke.
"Hey, hey, hey, you’re being unreasonable like this!" Bei Yun instantly turned his head to look at Yang Wenxiao upon hearing the accusation. "Your Majesty, I genuinely don’t have the antidote for the Soul Chasing Root, which is why I didn’t mention it. What’s the point of making everyone sad? I believe the primary issue now isn’t this fixation on the Soul Chasing Root—but instead, making a thorough investigation into how Tong Sanlang managed to expel it. We also need to confirm whether there’s still any root left in Tong Gongzi’s body."
