The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 424 - 423

Chapter 424: Chapter 423

"If it weren’t for clinging to the thick thighs of the Grand Marshal, my Special Ability would have killed me sooner or later," Qu Tong said sarcastically, though she felt quite heavy-hearted.

Being overly coveted for one’s Special Ability is not always a good thing, but fortunately, I’m not completely useless, and I’ve been lucky.

With the allure of the Wood-element Ability in Interstellar society, going out alone would undoubtedly spell death.

I guess that’s probably how I got my Fertility Value of 100.

What a happy worry!

Si Yuting couldn’t bear to see his little wife frown and reached out to smooth her furrowed brows, comforting her, "Don’t think too much, I’m here for everything."

With Si Yuting’s words, Qu Tong lifted a bright smile, "Grand Marshal, your word is your bond, so make sure you take good care of your hard-won wife and daughter."

"Okay." Si Yuting’s voice was not loud, but it inexplicably reassured people.

"Then, for our daughter’s sake, can my husband let me deal with Lan Weiying?" Qu Tong pulled Si Yuting’s hand to her belly.

"Reason." Si Yuting was not blinded by lust.

Qu Tong did not hide the truth, "Lan Weiying very likely knows what she shouldn’t know."

Although Du Biao did not reveal the source of the information, she just had this kind of self-awareness.

If she really had to say why, it was probably that glance filled with resentment and jealousy.

This strong intuition is called the sixth sense, and she relied heavily on it, as it had saved her from danger several times.

Upon hearing this, Si Yuting’s brows slightly furrowed.

"Wait a moment. Just wait a moment."

Si Yuting took the intelligent brain, connected to the Light Brain’s authority, and scanned the retinal membrane...

After a series of operations, Si Yuting’s frown deepened.

"What’s wrong?" Qu Tong asked, puzzled.

Si Yuting held Qu Tong so she faced him, his expression somewhat serious.

"When you saved me during my unconsciousness, Jiang Zhou took a sample of your blood for testing, and your Fertility Value information was accidentally transmitted to the Genetic Bank. I hacked into the main brain’s authority to delete it for you, but there was about a five-minute gap in between."

"Later, I investigated the staff on duty at the Genetic Bank that night and confirmed there was no anomaly before ordering my subordinates to withdraw."

"Now, that staff member on duty has resigned."

Qu Tong furrowed her brows just like him, unconsciously tightening her grip on Si Yuting’s hand.

Si Yuting continued, "Second Miss Lan gets along quite well with Lan Hanyan."

Lan Hanyan is Lan Jianghong’s sister, Si Xian’s favored consort, and like Si Yuting, has a Fertility Value of zero.

However, Si Yuting’s was reduced due to his many battle engagements, whereas Lan Hanyan’s was due to illness.

"Si Xian is in charge of the Genetic Bank, and he has taken no action, nor has any news leaked out, proving that aside from Lan Weiying, no one else knows about this matter."

"With Lan Weiying’s proud nature, she disdains telling anyone else, even her grandfather Lan Jianghong."

After several encounters, she had come to understand Lan Weiying to a certain extent.

"Her first thought upon getting the news was not to tell Si Xian, but to have Du Biao capture her for illegal research, which is quite thought-provoking."

"But it also indirectly shows that she won’t easily expose my Fertility Value."

"However, if her life is threatened, she might not hesitate to do something crazy."

She had checked the Imperial Laws, and dealing with the trade of prohibited elixirs and providing materials for illegal medical institutions was enough for a death sentence.

Qu Tong looked at Si Yuting, "You haven’t disclosed your timeline for destroying the illegal medical institutions, have you?"

"Special missions are kept confidential from the public; there won’t be any announcement before the adjudication," Si Yuting replied.

"Then that’s good."

Si Yuting understood the significance of this matter to Qu Tong and was aware of how important it was to her.

After pursing his lips in thought for a long time, he said, "I can apply for the order to handle this matter and personally supervise it to ensure that there are no accidents."

"If you’re still not at ease, your master is the victim of this case, and with your identity as Prince Consort, you can help apply for a permit to accompany the entire process."

"That works."

Qu Tong knew that Si Yuting had already made concessions for her.

Compared to her own thoughts of resolving the issue with Lan Weiying ahead of time, Si Yuting’s suggestion was clearly more appropriate.

Si Yuting took the opportunity to give Qu Tong a detailed introduction to the entire process of the case and the precautions.

Qu Tong took note of everything one by one.

However, there was one point that was quite dissatisfying.

"Lan Jianghong can actually avoid the death penalty!"

Si Yuting nodded, "Yes, the contributions of Potion Grandmasters to society and the military are immense. Although Lan Jianghong’s actions are high-profile, he has also been selling elixirs to the military and the citizens of the Empire according to the agreement."

"There’s a high likelihood that the Special Talent Management Regulations will be implemented, with a ten-year ban being imposed."

"What’s a ten-year ban?" Qu Tong had never encountered such a punishment before.

"One’s freedom in life is restricted, and any necessary travel will be supervised," Si Yuting explained professionally.

That was essentially a fixed-term imprisonment with the right to travel.

Given Si Yuting’s understanding of the Imperial Laws, since he said so, the result should not be far off.

It just remained to be seen whether Old Man Yuan would jump up when he heard about it.

Si Yuting contacted Wu Yue to slow down, and they chased after them in a spacecraft overnight, returning to Capital Star together.

Then he reported the situation, convened a meeting, and applied for the order.

Everything was done orderly and secretly.

But an accident still occurred.

Lan Weiying somehow got the news and ran away in advance.

Even Lan Jianghong and Lan Yuanhui had no time to take her with them.

Qu Tong was somewhat impressed with Lan Weiying, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows; truly hard to kill!"

The whole process took less than half a day, which meant Lan Weiying had left Capital Star before they arrived.

Qu Tong lost the mood to brew tea, gritting her back teeth in frustration.

Seeing his little wife clenching her teeth in anger, Si Yuting silently withdrew the application and recommended Feng Lin to oversee the matter.

Qu Tong pulled out a bottle of purified water from the refrigerator, wanting to calm down, but Si Yuting took it away and replaced it with warm water.

"Drink less cold stuff."

After Qu Tong finished drinking, Si Yuting stood up, "Let’s go, I’ve taken leave to accompany you in handling this."

Qu Tong, finding nothing pleasing to the eye now, puffed out her cheeks, "Handle what? Lan Weiying’s destination is unknown in her private aircraft, and we can’t even find her."

"No need to look for her, just lure her out," Si Yuting said calmly.

Qu Tong tilted her head, "How do you lure her out?"

Si Yuting pinched Qu Tong’s cheek, his lips curling up slightly, "Are you coming or not?"

"Let’s go!" Qu Tong decided on the spot.

Upon arriving at E12 Star and meeting with Xuan Ping, Qu Tong’s eyes widened.

She said that Si Yuting had some method; as it turned out, the Second Prince of Casa was in his hands.

"But, how can you be sure Lan Weiying will definitely come for the Second Prince of Casa?" Qu Tong pointed to the unconscious prince on the ground, "After all, he’s in such a sorry state, what help could he offer?"

Si Yuting ordered people to carry the Second Prince of Casa onto the spacecraft, explaining as he walked, "Imperial Laws are strict; the best option for Second Miss Lan is to flee the country, and the Kasa Empire is quite suitable, with the current prosecutor of the Kasa Empire being her biological mother."
