Chapter 1900: Chapter 1890: Who Is Gufeng?

At the moment, Bai Yihong dared not provoke Lin Ping’er. Although he had a hundred disagreements in his heart, he stammered for a long time and dared not say anything.

Thankfully, Bai Zepei, who was principled and had integrity, also came over and said with a stern face, ”Ruozhu, you’re just fooling yourself.”

Bai Ruozhu’s face instantly fell, and Jiang Yichun shot a sharp glance at his second brother.

”Yes, it’s better not to dress like this; it’s so awkward,” Bai Yihong, gathering courage, said, but unfortunately, Lin Ping’er glared at him again.

At this time, the first-born little bun started crying loudly, while the second-born, the weaker brother, was sound asleep.

”Mom, look, brother is unhappy. He’s so pitiful,” Little Dengdeng said, pouting, and suddenly burst into tears, feeling so wronged as if his brother had been bullied.

The family was in chaos, comforting the little bun and Little Dengdeng altogether, eventually deciding to let the always-crying little bun off the hook. The other one would wear a dress, pretending they had boy and girl twins.

Bai Ruozhu pouted. Fine, too many cute clothes with lace and bows couldn’t go to waste.

”Have the children been named yet? At least give them nicknames?” Bai Zepei mentioned with a stern face. His sister was so upset that she didn’t even want to think about names.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”The older one can be called Bengbeng, and the younger one Tiaotiao.”

”Yay, I’m Dengdeng, they’re Bengbeng and Tiaotiao, and we are the happy three brothers,” Little Dengdeng clapped and cheered, and he was the only one in the room who thought it was good. Everyone else was petrified, even Lin Ping’er couldn’t help reminding her daughter not to be so perfunctory.

Bai Yihong gave a couple of dry coughs and said, ”As long as the nicknames are easy to call, we should discuss the real names properly. I will discuss with Ruozhu’s godfather.”

At this point, Little Dengdeng was already calling out vigorously to the awake Bengbeng, ”Bengbeng, Bengbeng, I’m your brother Dengdeng!”

Bai Ruozhu squinted and smiled, thinking how cute the names Bengbeng and Tiaotiao were.

The next day was the Three-cleansing Ceremony. The Bai Family didn’t invite many people, just relatives like the Jiang Family, Bai Zhi’s Family, Bo Family, Meng Family, etc., and the two little buns received plenty of gifts.

Yu Hongxiu, with a big belly, watched the two little buns with a smile and secretly said to Xie Dun, ”This must be something I passed on to Ruozhu, giving birth to two big healthy boys.”

Xie Dun gestured for silence, ”Don’t let Ruozhu hear, I heard from Zepei that she is upset about it.”

Yu Hongxiu covered her mouth and laughed, ”She wanted a daughter.”

She had been pregnant for almost a month longer than Ruozhu, and was also nearly due. She wondered whether she would have a boy or a girl.

Unexpectedly, the night after Yu Hongxiu attended the Three-cleansing Ceremony, she went into labor and gave birth to a big healthy boy in the early morning.

”I said it’s contagious; I also gave birth to a son,” Yu Hongxiu didn’t mind. She preferred having more sons.

Soon the good news reached the Bai Family. Bai Ruozhu, who was still in confinement, happily drank half a bowl of porridge and said, ”Luckily, Sister Hongxiu didn’t give birth to a daughter, or I would have felt so unbalanced.”

Jiang Yichun laughed beside her, looking at her with a very affectionate gaze. As long as she was happy, that was enough.

A few days passed like this, and Bai Ruozhu’s body recovered quite a bit, and Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu came over.

”Ruozhu, that method I had to make the Poisonous Insects not controlled by the host can be used again, and I want to find out about Wu Wanqing and ask her some questions,” Jiao Ling said directly.

Bai Ruozhu hadn’t seen Jiao Ling for a few days, and she sent someone to ask. Jiao Ling said she was mentally exhausted and needed some rest. She thought Jiao Ling’s trump card was mentally taxing, so she didn’t have anyone disturb Jiao Ling. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Jiao Ling again, she had become so haggard!

Jiao Ling’s eyes were dull, her under-eyes were dark, and her cheeks had sunken.

”Aunt, how are you...” Bai Ruozhu paused, ”You can’t use that method anymore; your health has deteriorated so much!”

Jiao Ling patted her hand, ”You’ve misunderstood, it wasn’t using that method that made me unwell, it’s just that I haven’t been able to sleep lately. If I don’t ask Wu Wanqing, I might never be able to sleep well again.”

Fen Jiu, also with a worried expression, said, ”Yes, your aunt doesn’t even have an appetite for meals.”

”Why?” Bai Ruozhu asked, puzzled.

”She feels like the Poisonous Insect Wu Wanqing mentioned is like the one Wei Yu once raised,” Fen Jiu quickly said.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly understood, it was the Poisonous Insect that her aunt’s former husband used to raise with their daughter as its host. Wu Wanqing said the Poisonous Insect was given to her by her master. Could her master be that Wei Yu?

”Okay, I’ll go take a look with you,” Bai Ruozhu was still in confinement, but it wasn’t as if she couldn’t leave the bed at all. A little activity would be good, as long as she didn’t stand for too long.

”Your body is weak, it’s better if you don’t get too close,” Jiao Ling said worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu had already gotten up from the bed, ”What if she refuses to tell the truth? At least I have ways to deal with her, and I can’t be at ease until this is clarified.”

Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu could no longer object, and Jiao Ling’s method could only suppress the Poisonous Insect for a quarter of an hour, so Bai Ruozhu wouldn’t stand for too long.

Just then, Jiang Yichun came in from outside and helped Bai Ruozhu up, saying, ”I’ll go with you.”

”Okay.” Bai Ruozhu smiled at him, and he had been by her side all this time, taking a half-month leave from the Imperial Court. Probably in Ancient Times, not many men would have done this, right?

The few of them quickly arrived at the medicine vat where Wu Wanqing was soaked. Jiao Ling and Jiang Yichun made a gesture, and she took out a stone and waved it in front of Wu Wanqing. Then Jiang Yichun unlocked Wu Wanqing’s acupoint.

Wu Wanqing weakly opened her eyes, ”How long have I been asleep?”

”A few days, and you still need to keep sleeping,” Jiao Ling answered coldly, then grabbed Wu Wanqing’s chin and sternly asked, ”Is your master Wei Yu?”

Wu Wanqing showed a look of confusion, ”He called himself Gufeng; I don’t know what his name is. I was taken by him as a disciple back then, and I didn’t want to raise Poisonous Insects at all.”

She said pitifully, ”But he put that life-controlling Poisonous Insect on me, so I had to listen to him, or my whole body would hurt badly.”

”What does he look like? Are there any distinctive features?” Jiao Ling asked patiently.

Wu Wanqing did not shy away from talking about her master, even seemingly wanting these people to go trouble her master.

”He’s a madman, raising countless Poisonous Insects in his own body. His face can’t be seen clearly, but...” she fell into deep thought, showing a look of pain on her face, ”He has a scorpion mark on his left chest, I don’t know if it’s a tattoo or something else.”

At this point, Jiao Ling staggered, her face turned pale, that scorpion was precisely the mark Wei Yu received when he became a poison master in Jiuli!
