Chapter 114 Cai Yi
Chapter 114 Cai Yi
When Lin Shen and his companions heard the noise inside the house, they immediately broke in. They found Liu Jinyuan lying on the ground with a painful expression, saying, "It's so... so uncomfortable, Cai... Caiyi."
Seeing this, Lin Yueru shouted, "Brother Jinyuan!" Then she ran over and shouted, "Brother Jinyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Shen also walked over, and helped Liu Jinyuan to sit on the bed. Liu Jinyuan looked very pale, bloodless, and coughed frequently.
After Liu Jinyuan sat down, before he could open his mouth, a woman walked in from outside.
She looks less than 20 years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a well-proportioned figure. A little more would make her look fatter, and a little less would make her look thinner.
She wore a purple chest-length skirt with an off-shoulder blouse, and her butterfly-shaped bun was very eye-catching.
As soon as she came in, she said, "My husband, I'm sorry! I'll help you take the medicine right away."
Li Xiaoyao and the others were stunned when they heard this, except for Lin Shen who shouted in unison, "Husband!?"
Lin Shen knew the woman's true identity, but didn't want to spoil the story, so he didn't react.
The woman didn't bother to pay attention to Li Xiaoyao and the others. She brought a bowl of medicine, cooled it, and waited for Liu Jinyuan to drink it spoonful by spoonful. After drinking the medicine, the woman put the empty bowl aside and asked Liu Jinyuan, "Husband, how do you feel?"
Liu Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huh, I feel much better. But I've been taking medicine for so long, and the pain gets worse each time I get sick. Can this disease really be cured?"
Lin Shen, who was standing by, knew what was going on, but was afraid of being exposed, so he didn't say anything. He just walked to the empty bowl, found a piece of cloth to wipe the inside of the bowl, and then hid the cloth.
Cai Yi said in a soothing tone, "My husband, please be patient. I believe you will recover in a few days."
Lin Yueru said, "Brother Liu, when did you marry such a beautiful wife? Why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Jinyuan said, "This... is a long story." At this time, Liu Jinyuan noticed Lin Shen next to him and asked, "Who is he?"
Lin Yueru said, "His name is Anos, and he is the most important person to me."
Lin Shen bowed and said, "My name is Anos, nice to meet you, Master Liu."
Liu Jinyuan was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Why, you are not with Master Li?"
Lin Yueru said with an embarrassed look, "A lot of things happened in the meantime, and I can't finish talking about them all at once. Through a series of things, I realized that the person I like in my heart is... him."
When Liu Jinyuan heard this, he said, "Well, you have your own ideas."
Lin Yueru said, "Brother Liu, what disease do you have? I have met many famous doctors along the way. In addition, Anos has great magical powers and may be able to provide some help."
Liu Jinyuan shook his head and said, "No, I appreciate your kindness. My parents have hired countless doctors for me, but they can't even find out what disease I have.
Fortunately, Youcai followed the prescriptions that my hometown brought me, and I have recently gotten better."
Anu asked, "Caiyi?"
The woman bowed to the group and said, "My name is Caiyi, and I greet you all."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Where is your sister-in-law from?"
Caiyi said, "My parents are from Suzhou."
Lin Yueru thought for a moment and said, "Hmm? You also live in Suzhou City, but why have I never seen you before?"
Caiyi was speechless for a moment, and Li Xiaoyao said, "She is a lady from a noble family who never leaves her house. How could I possibly let you see her every day?"
Lin Yueru was about to retort when Lin Shen pulled her back. Lin Yueru understood what he meant and kept silent.
Caiyi said, "Excuse me, my husband needs to rest and recuperate after taking the medicine. If you have anything to say, why not talk to him tomorrow?"
Lin Shen said, "Then we won't bother you any more."
Cai Yi said, "I'm so sorry for not entertaining you all properly."
Lin Shen and his companions walked out of the room and reached the first floor. Lin Yueru sighed and said, "Brother Liu is really pitiful."
Li Xiaoyao said, "I think Brother Liu is quite lucky to have such a beautiful and virtuous wife who takes care of him every day."
Lin Yueru said, "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Linger interrupted, "Sister Lin."
Lin Yueru said, "What's wrong, Sister Ling'er?"
Zhao Linger said, "Actually... ever since I entered the Shangshu Mansion, I've felt like there's a demonic aura here."
Lin Yueru was stunned and said, "What!"
Zhao Linger continued, "Just now, when my sister-in-law came over, I felt a demonic aura coming from her as well."
Lin Yueru said, "So you mean, that woman is a demon? Then Brother Liu is in great danger, isn't he?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Hearing Ling'er's words, the woman's fragrance is indeed a bit too much, making people feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Linger said, "This aura is very weak. If she comes into contact with monsters every day, she might also be contaminated by it."
Li Xiaoyao said, "I think it's better not to act rashly. Didn't the maid say that my sister-in-law likes to appreciate the flowers in the back garden? We can go to the garden and see if there are any clues."
Lin Yueru said, "Let's do it this way."
But at this time, Anu's expression was a little strange, and Li Xiaoyao asked, "Anu, is there any problem?"
Anu said, "I just saw that big brother's face was dark, as if he had been poisoned by voodoo."
Lin Yueru said, "How could it be? Brother Liu is usually kind to others, how could he be cursed?"
Lin Shen interrupted, "It's not necessarily man-made. Besides highly skilled sorcerers, there are also some spirits who practice poison techniques and can cast such spells."
Anu nodded and said, "It's a pity that I'm not good enough in this area and can't figure it out. If only my mother-in-law were here, she would definitely have a solution."
Lin Yueru said, "I see. No wonder so many doctors couldn't find the cause. It turns out they were treating the disease in the wrong direction.
Anu, you have been a great help. I will tell Aunt Yun about this later, and then Brother Liu will be saved."
Lin Shen handed the cloth hidden in his sleeve to Anu and said, "Anu, take a look and see if you can figure out what's going on."
Anu asked, "Brother Anos, where did you get this cloth? What's on it?"
Lin Shen said, "It's the residue of Liu Jinyuan's medicine."
Lin Yueru smiled and said, "You are really smart."
Anu examined it for a long time and said, "This medicine... is very special. It looks like it was made by condensing the essence of many kinds of flowers and herbs together.
It can have a certain inhibitory effect on Brother Liu's illness, but whether it can cure it completely will not be known for a while."
Lin Yueru said, "It's better to have a clue than no clue at all."
Several people walked out of the small building and came to the back garden. After checking for a long time, they could not find anything. Li Xiaoyao said, "Is there a monster here? If there was, the Shangshu Mansion would have been in chaos long ago."
Lin Shen closed his eyes and used his observation Haki to sense the entire garden. Sure enough, he spotted a butterfly demon in the northwest. With a wave of his hand, the butterfly demon materialized.
Li Xiaoyao used the sword-controlling technique to pierce the butterfly monster's body, and the butterfly monster instantly turned into ashes.
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Ling'er, is there still demonic energy?"
Zhao Linger said, "No...no more."
Lin Shen thought: This is just the beginning, the big thing is still to come. But for the sake of keeping the show going, he decided not to reveal it yet.
Anu said, "Let's take a break first, it's just right for Brother Anos to do it."
Lin Shen said, "You little greedy cat. Okay, let's go get some sugar first." Then they left the garden.
