Chapter 494: Chapter 493: I will give you a chance to perform _1

With rosy cheeks flushed, Qin Yi couldn’t resist planting a passionate kiss on her.

"Good girl! Don’t cry, the poison on my wound has been cured. Rest will take care of the rest, it won’t take long to recover."

The poison that had initially infected his wound was special. Su Pan’er couldn’t discern what type it was.

Luckily, they had a poison-loving creature at home!

The moment the rascal pig saw the poison on Qin Yi’s wound, its small piggy eyes lit up like lanterns!

It lunged at Qin Yi’s back and began sucking incessantly. Su Pan’er had to forcibly yank it away, but it looked regretful and pounced again!

"Damn pig, are you trying to die or what?"

Su Pan’er was furious!

She smashed the naughty pig forcefully onto the ground.

The crafty pig knew things had turned bad. As soon as it landed, it rolled over and took off, fleeing!

By the time Su Pan’er came to her senses!

The shadow of the pig disappeared without a trace.

Hearing Qin Yi mention the rascal pig, Su Pan’er remembered how she had entrusted the meat lingzhi mushroom that was still hiding in the cellar to it just a few days ago. After discussing with Qin Yi, they went down into the tunnel.

Unexpectedly, they searched through the tunnel but found no trace of the rascal pig.

Instead, the meat lingzhi mushroom which the rascal pig had been supposed to look after had drastically reduced in size! The meat lingzhi mushroom that had originally weighed more than a hundred pounds now weighed barely fifty pounds, half-dead and hanging listlessly by the pool.

Su Pan’er trembled with anger! Gnashing her teeth!

"That damn rascal pig! If it has the guts, it should hide forever. Otherwise, I’ll skin it alive!"

"Is this... the lingzhi mushroom? Can it... still survive?"

Qin Yi picked up the damp lingzhi mushroom and handed it to Su Pan’er, pulling a face.

With a helpless sigh, Su Pan’er said: "What can we do now? Just let it grow like this, whether it can survive depends on fate."

With that said, she shook her head and placed it back by the pool.

The two finally left the tunnel and went to the dungeon where Xiyue was imprisoned.

Seeing the scene in the dungeon, both of them were shocked, Xiyue was unconscious!

Su Pan’er quickly checked her and found that she had fainted from hunger!

The reason she kept Xiyue here was firstly to prevent the secrets of the tunnel from leaking out, moreover to prevent Xiyue from communicating with outsiders or being harmed in secret. But most importantly, the rascal pig was supposed to watch over her and bring her food.

Unexpectedly, the rascal pig ran away after eating the lingzhi mushroom!

And almost starved Xiyue to death, the rascal pig really knew how to mess things up!

She hurriedly brought Xiyue out of the dungeon and waved a small jade bottle in front of her nose.

Xiyue gradually regained consciousness.

Seeing her, she was obviously still somewhat dazed.

"Madam, Xiyue..."

"Last night, three thieves broke into my house. Unfortunately for them, they failed."

Su Pan’er glanced at her with a blood-thirsty smile: "Everyone knows that there’s a runaway slave from my Qin Family. Anyone who captures her can kill her on the spot and bring her body to my house to collect the reward."

Xiyue trembled and lowered her head, biting her lip.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth, knelt on the ground, and knocked her head against the floor three times before she got up.

With the dust and wind swept from her face, she bore a wretched smile.

"By now, Xiyue has nothing more to say. If there’s anything that Madam needs Xiyue for, just command me."

"I don’t make a habit of raising Eastern Mountain Wolves."

These words left Xiyue deathly pale!

A bit embarrassed, she clenched her teeth.

"The reason the lady spared Xiyue’s life must be related to the bizarre poison in the sir’s wound, right?"

"It seems you are quite perceptive."

Su Pan’er gave a shallow smile: "As a perceptive person, you don’t need me to tell you what to do, right!"

Indeed, she was interested in the poison because she found the sap of the Poison Arrow Tree within it.

The sap of this Poison Arrow Tree causes instant suffocation upon encountering blood. When smeared on arrowheads for hunting, any wild beast hit by it would die after running seven steps uphill, eight steps downhill, or nine steps on level ground. Hence, the saying, "Seven up, eight down, and nine means death".

Yet, unexpectedly, Qin Yi was poisoned, but didn’t die immediately.

She had come to find Xiyue because she wanted to get the poison to find out its components.

"I received this poison when I was ordered to come to the lady’s side. The person told me to find an opportunity to smear it on any part of the sir’s skin with a wound."

Xiyue stood straight, her clenched fists soaked in sweat, understanding that this was her last chance.

"Xiyue originally belonged to a noble family; my last name is Night (Ye). But two years ago, my father was implicated in a rebellion involving several princes, which affected our whole family. My father was exiled, and my mother committed suicide. Although Xiyue didn’t want to prolong her life, they held my little brother hostage and forced me to..."

As she spoke, Xiyue was reduced to a tearful mess.

"Have you finished? Interesting story. It’s a pity...."

In Su Pan’er’s eyes, there was nothing but calm: "I am uninterested in all this."

Saying this, she turned to leave.

She suddenly didn’t want to know about the composition of the poison.

"Madam, Madam! Xiyue only pleads for the lady to save her younger brother."

Xiyue’s cries of despair came continuously from behind her.

"Madam! My father was wronged, and before my mother died, Xiyue promised her to take good care of my brother. As long as the lady saves my younger brother, from now on, Xiyue and my brother’s lives belong to you. If need be, Xiyue will lay down her life for you. Madam, Xiyue begs you..."

Su Pan’er’s steps paused momentarily, and when she took the next step, it felt as if she was carrying a tremendous weight.

"Madam, I beg you!"

Seeing this, Night Tide Moon knelt down on the ground, her forehead knocking against the floor with a thud, blood gushing out.

"Get up!"

Su Pan’er spoke deliberately, "Not only you have a little brother, I also have one. As long as you are honest from now on, and truly reform, I will naturally give you an opportunity to prove yourself. As for your little brother, as long as there is a chance, my husband and I will certainly try to save him!"

"Thank you, madam, thank you, sir..."

Night Tide Moon’s face was filled with joy, she was crying, kowtowing as if pounding garlic.

Su Pan’er walked straight out of the cellar without looking back, sighing secretly in her heart, wondering whether sparing her today would bring fortune or disaster another day.

Qin Yi was silently standing outside, watching Su Pan’er coming out, and quickly went forward, reaching out his hand to hold hers.

His eyes were full of indulgence.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then went back to the house.

When Qingwen and others came over in the morning to attend Su Pan’er, they were surprised to see Qin Yi in the room. However, they quickly recovered, hurriedly fetching an additional breakfast.

Even Su Lao Si was looking incredulous. He was stunned for a while before he remembered his purpose in coming.

"That Wang fellow is tough as well. No matter how much I pressed him, he stubbornly wouldn’t speak. He claimed to not know the other two people. Foolish girl, what do you make of this..."

Could his mouth really be this tight?
