Chapter 798 - 800: It’s Really Hard to Placate the Big Vinegar Jar
"Yu Yao..." Bai Ruozhu called from behind, but Yu Yao ran so fast that she didn’t hear her shout.
Chen Feng glanced at Chu Hai on the soft lounge, frowning slightly, then opened the door and asked, "Madam, would you like me to chase her back?"
Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, then shook her head. Although the matter with Chu Hai was a bit troublesome, if she could find the people of the Bihai Sect earlier, she could truly get rid of this problem.
She ordered the maid to clean up a guest room, and had Chen Feng move Chu Hai into the guest room. But as soon as Chen Feng moved him, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was black, tinged green, and extremely eerie.
"Be careful not to touch his blood!" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly warned.
Luckily, Chen Feng was cautious and carefully avoided the black blood, placing Chu Hai on the bed.
Bai Ruozhu sprinkled some drug powder on the blood on the floor, and the bloodstains seemed to burn, making a sizzling sound. Bai Ruozhu sighed in relief, saying, "It’s okay now."
"What kind of poison is this that even the blood is so dangerous?" Chen Feng couldn’t help asking.
"I’m not sure, I can only temporarily restrain it. Get a barrel for me. I’ll prepare some medicinal soup for him to soak in to prolong his life." Bai Ruozhu ordered.
The guard and maid immediately went to arrange it. Bai Ruozhu took Chu Hai’s pulse again, her eyebrows furrowing tightly. The situation was more serious than she had imagined, the poison had been controlled before, but now it was quickly attacking the heart again.
She thought for a moment, quickly took out pen and paper, and recorded the situation after the onset of the poison, noting the time. She would have to check again later.
When Jiang Yichun came home, he found Bai Ruozhu treating Chu Hai. His face instantly darkened as if covered with frost. Bai Yihong happened to see his expression and patted his shoulder in some concern, saying, "Yichun, don’t misunderstand Ruozhu. She is just kind-hearted and trying to help."
In front of his father-in-law, Jiang Yichun was a bit embarrassed to lose his temper. He forced a smile and said, "I understand Ruozhu. I just don’t want Chu Hai to keep causing us trouble."
"I heard he poisoned himself in an experiment. The young man is too reckless." Bai Yihong shook his head in disapproval.
Jiang Yichun was glad that his father-in-law didn’t like Chu Hai. He smiled at his father-in-law and said, "Father, don’t worry. If he continues to bother us, I won’t be polite."
Bai Yihong didn’t stop him. After all, his daughter was married, and a young man always looking for her would somehow affect her reputation.
After chatting with his father-in-law, Bai Ruozhu came out of the room. She ordered the servants to prepare the medicinal soup for Chu Hai to take a bath. But since men and women should be segregated, she still left the room.
As soon as she left the room, she saw Jiang Yichun looking at her unhappily. She helplessly twitched her mouth and gave him a grin that was somewhat ingratiating.
She knew that Jiang Yichun didn’t like Chu Hai, let alone her accommodating Chu Hai in their house. She didn’t want to do this either, but Yu Yao ran away. Should she just throw him out to fend for himself?
"Yu Yao went to find the elders of the Bihai Sect. What if he dies while we ignored him and the Bihai Sect comes to trouble us?" Bai Ruozhu walked over and explained in a low voice.
"Hmph, you’re just soft-hearted. How do you know this isn’t a ploy by others?" Jiang Yichun said coldly.
Bai Yihong saw the young couple bickering and tactfully found an excuse to leave.
Bai Ruozhu, noticing this, pulled Jiang Yichun back into the room, whispering, "Don’t let the servants laugh at us."
Jiang Yichun gave a cold snort. "You care so much about face now. Have you ever thought about your husband’s dignity? Knowing there’s a man pestering you, I let him stay in our house. Do you think I can hold up my head with honor?"
Bai Ruozhu was taken aback. "What do you mean by pestering? He just wants to be my disciple, not fancying me. Don’t be ridiculous!"
The couple walked back into the room while talking. Lin Ping’er peeked in to eavesdrop, then turned to tell Wan Caiyue, "Yichun is just worried about Ruozhu. He’s obviously jealous."
Wan Caiyue giggled. "My brother-in-law is just saying that. He wouldn’t really get angry with Ruozhu."
Lin Ping’er nodded vigorously. "I’ll go keep an eye on the tonic. Maybe we’ll have a granddaughter to hold soon."
Wan Caiyue laughed, her shoulders shaking. Such a naughty mother-in-law. Was she hinting at her brother-in-law to consummate his marriage?
In the room, Bai Ruozhu showed a pleasing color, gently swinging Jiang Yichun’s arm in a coquettish manner. "My lord, am I not innocent? Yu Yao suddenly brought someone over, crying like a mess, how could I ignore her? Then she suddenly ran off to find the elders of Bihai Sect and left Chu Hai here."
Jiang Yichun let out a cold snort, clearly still unhappy.
Bai Ruozhu giggled and went over to hug his waist, rubbing her face against his back. "I know this matter made you lose face in front of your subordinates, but I had no choice. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so let’s just consider it as good karma."
Jiang Yichun still didn’t budge. Bai Ruozhu’s hand slowly moved upward, circling his neck, and her mouth went up to his cold face and gave him a noisy kiss, then yelled, "Is this an ice-cube face? Oh, it’s freezing me."
Unable to hold back, Jiang Yichun’s taut mouth began to curl upwards. "Stop being cheeky. Be careful, or I’ll spank you."
Bai Ruozhu quickly jumped away, even covering her butt with her hands, her face full of caution. In broad daylight, if he started to spank her, everyone in the yard would hear.
"Be good, just stick out your butt, and I won’t be angry anymore." He smirked, showing her his teeth. His expression couldn’t be more irritating.
"No way!" Bai Ruozhu ground her teeth as she backed away, angrily saying, "You’re up to mischief again. It’s broad daylight."
Jiang Yichun couldn’t help laughing out loud. "It’s just a spank on your butt, where is your mind going? Or are you especially looking forward to it?"
Before Bai Ruozhu could retort, Jiang Yichun pounced on her like a hungry wolf, picking her up and throwing her onto the bed. Bai Ruozhu was so scared that she almost screamed. Barely suppressing her voice, he pressed himself on top of her and really spanked her butt twice.
"Bastard!" Bai Ruozhu was so angry that she started cursing in a low voice. If she wasn’t worried about the people in the yard, she would definitely curse him out loudly, but unfortunately, this shameless guy always had her backed into a corner.
Jiang Yichun leaned down to block her mouth, ardently sucking it. Just as he was starting to lose control, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the maid shouted, "Miss, you’d better go check it out. The man is bleeding from his eyes and nose. He might not make it!"
