Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1679: Don’t Know

Bei Yun took in Qiao Xiaomai’s silent expression, the smile on his face widening. He particularly loved seeing others wear that look of hatred for him, yet unable to do anything about it.

Refreshing.

Every pore of his body was basking in celestial bliss!

He lowered his head again to examine the Divine Crossbow in his hands. The sooner this Divine Weapon was completed, the better—it would be poetic justice to use the weapon created by Yang Wenxiao against him. Yang Wenxiao would be furious to the point of despair.

Back in the Capital City, he had been so high and mighty toward Bei Yun. At the time, Bei Yun had already wanted to lash out and challenge him.

But he had always been someone who could endure and wait for the right moment. Look at him now—patience had paid off, and he’d managed to snag Yang Wenxiao’s Divine Crossbow.

The more he thought about it, the more delighted he felt. Unable to resist, he reopened his mouth, “Speaking of which, Yang Wenxiao once proclaimed to the world that he was searching for someone called Madam Gu. Who is she?”

“I don’t know,” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head.

“Don’t know?” Bei Yun raised an eyebrow, directing his gaze at Qiao Xiaomai. Narrowing his eyes, he said, “If you can clear up my confusion, I might actually let you go.”

“I’d love to help, but I really don’t know. The retired emperor treated me well, but do you think he’d tell me everything?” Qiao Xiaomai wasn’t falling for his trick.

“He was indeed good to you,” Bei Yun retorted.

“I know, but people’s hearts remain hidden behind their ribs. I am surnamed Qiao, not Yang.”

“Madam Gu…” Bei Yun raised a hand to stroke his chin, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. “Could Madam Gu refer to Gu Yu’s wife? Gu Yu is the grandfather of Tong Sanlang, after all.”

“I don’t know.”

“Yang Wenxiao and Gu Yu were sworn brothers once, weren’t they?” Bei Yun asked.

“Yes.”

At her confirmation, Bei Yun couldn’t help but tap the Divine Crossbow lightly with his other hand as he held it. As he tapped, he continued, “Back then, when Yang Wenxiao’s direct descendants were poisoned by the Hell Flower, he didn’t turn to the Imperial Physicians but sought out Madam Gu instead. Could Madam Gu truly have been capable of curing the Hell Flower’s toxin?”

“I really don’t know,” Qiao Xiaomai denied once again.

“Let me tell you the truth. Jia Cheng’s wife is in Longshi Country. Through his wife, I learned that Emperor Yongan and several others indeed fell victim to the Hell Flower,” Bei Yun suddenly disclosed.

Qiao Xiaomai, “…Jia Cheng?”

Noting the incredulous look on her face, Bei Yun chuckled, “Yes, the very same Royal Chef who poisoned Emperor Yongan with the Hell Flower. At that time, Tong Sanlang chased him down, but his wife fled beforehand. She is now in Longshi Country.”

“Was he originally from Longshi Country?” Qiao Xiaomai asked, pressing further.

“Kind of. He’s actually from a tribe, which now falls within Longshi Country’s territory. His wife couldn’t stay in Daqi, so she went to Longshi Country. After Shen Chenghao publicly announced that Emperor Yongan had been poisoned by the Hell Flower, I personally sought out the surviving members of the Liu Family for information. After a long pursuit, I finally found Jia Cheng’s wife and confirmed the details.”

“Then I procured some Hell Flower myself for research. I experimented on several people and even performed dissections, discovering that this poison inflicts permanent, irreversible damage on the brain. Addiction becomes fully embedded in the bloodstream, akin to the Soul Chasing Root, unable to be entirely purged from the body.”

“But Emperor Yongan recovered within days, and what’s even stranger is that Tong Sanlang was fine too. So, Miss Qiao, doesn’t that mean Madam Gu must actually be a divine doctor?”

“I don’t know.” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head so vehemently it looked like a rattle drum.

“Really don’t know?”

“Don’t know.” Qiao Xiaomai’s response was absolute.

Bei Yun sighed softly, “Honestly, I think she’s more than just a divine doctor. She must not be an ordinary person. I simply cannot fathom what kind of medicine could cure both those poisons.”
