Chapter 118.1 - Destroy both jade and stone

The housekeeper muttered in his heart, how could such a deity-like Daoist priest take in such a foolish medicinal child?

But the person who was taking a look at the ninth madam was the Daoist priest so he kept his mutterings to himself.

On the surface, he was still very respectful, “Please, come in.”

The Daoist priest didn’t restrain himself and walked forward.

But if you looked carefully, there were a few spots in his Daoist cloak that were a bit empty, so when he walked, it seemed to float.

The medicinal child quickly followed soundlessly as the two people continued to the master residence.

At the same time, two people who had been stripped of their outerwear were like worms, wriggling as they dangled from two trees.

Their mouths were stuffed as they tried to call out using muffled voices, but no one could hear them.

The Lou Qingwu who had been disguised as the Daoist priest, walked ahead to the master residence.

The housekeeper led the way, winding through the corridors and turning through countless corners.

The whole residence was like a maze.

When they finally reached the end, the housekeeper stopped at a room, “Daoist priest, please enter, the family head awaits inside.”

“En.” Lou Qingwu responded, monotone.

Thousand Face, who was disguised as the medicinal child, pushed open the door.

They saw Ruan Xiuren sitting in the master’s seat.

When he saw them, he immediately stood up. “Daoist priest, you’ve finally come. You’ve really let this Ruan person wait.”

“Ruan family head, who is the patient?”

Lou Qingwu’s straightforwardness made Ruan Xiuren freeze before becoming elated, “This Ruan person will take you there now.”

After finishing speaking, he headed towards the inner chambers.

Lou Qingwu followed Ruan Xiuren, entering the inner chambers before some kind of scent instantly hit her.

Smoke from the incense pot floated out, winding in spirals out.

In the middle, there was a large screen, hiding the person on the bed.

You could only faintly see the outline of a person lying down, Lou Qingwu faintly furrowed her brows.

Ruan Xiuren turned around to see this, explaining, “My concubine can’t see people, I hope the Daoist priest doesn’t find this strange.”

Lou Qingwu: “Of course, I don’t know what sickness your madam has?”

“My concubine’s been unconscious for a few days, like she’s sleeping. But many doctors have seen her and they can’t diagnose what illness she has, so I could only boldly ask the Daoist priest to come see her.”

“Oh? So this has happened before?”

Ruan Xiuren hesitated before nodding, “Many years ago, it happened once.”

Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes, hiding a flash in her eyes, “Has anything strange happened during this time?”

Ruan Xiuren shook his head, “My concubine has been fine for all of these years, it’s only this one time. There were no indicators, she just decided to fall unconscious.”

Even if he knew that it was Ruan Zhen’s problem, he couldn’t clearly say so.

He was worried that Ruan Zhen would destroy the jade and stone together.

Back then, for the sake of getting Ning’er, he employed many schemes.

When he was able to finally let her stay by his side, he’d never in a million years thought that it would also come with a hidden risk.

“En, this priest knows.” Lou Qingwu said before turning around.

Thousand face disguised as the medicinal child, immediately took off the medicine trunk off his back.

He opened it as Lou Qingwu took out a silver thread.

She passed it to Ruan Xiuren, “Place the head on your madam’s pulse to let this priest check it.”

“Yes, yes.” Ruan Xiuren quickly agreed, his cold face showing some rare gentleness.

He quickly stepped forward before placing the silver thread on her wrist.

Lou Qingwu listened carefully for a few moments before her brows knitted together tightly.

Thousand Face saw this and knew that there was something wrong.

But he couldn’t say so in front of Ruan Xiuren.

TL note:

Destroy the jade and stone together - destroy everything, kamikaze style.

Poison? The poison for Kuzco? Kuzco’s poison?
