"Recall what happened in Jiannan Village and tell me again."
Mo Yunchen looked at Yuh Feng, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
Yuh Feng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Mo Yunchen to ask him this question. Luoluo and a few others by his side were also stunned in place.
The sharp voice brought Yuh Feng back to his senses, and he nodded nervously, slowly recounting the events.
Mo Yunchen’s expression remained indifferent, without a ripple, leaving Yuh Feng and everyone else present unable to fathom what the esteemed Master Mo was really after.
"...That woman was skilled in medicine; she took out a Silver Needle to draw out the poison from Siqi."
"The needle she took out, was it black?"
Mo Yunchen’s brows furrowed as his usually calm expression suddenly became tense. The urgency in his voice was apparent to everyone.
"Ah... I didn’t pay attention to that." Yuh Feng shook his head. Indeed, he hadn’t noticed, as his gaze was constantly fixed on the wound on Yao Siqi’s leg, without paying attention to the color of the needle that was used.
"I know, I know." A young girl raised her hand and walked over, it was Luoluo.
Luoluo raised her hand and approached Mo Yunchen. "I know, it was black, indeed, black Silver Needles, although I was wondering how there could be black Silver Needles."
How did Master Mo know that woman used a black needle? Could the two of them know each other? No way, that woman was so ugly; how could Master Mo possibly know her?
Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes flashed with dazzling light, his chest filling with wild joy. Five months, he had searched for her for five months. That heartless woman — when he found her, he would definitely punish her properly.
"Master Mo, the woman we met was very ugly, her face was covered in burn scars, and her body was full of wrinkles. She definitely cannot be the person you are looking for."
Luoluo spoke without reserve and suddenly found her neck grasped fiercely, to everyone’s shock.
Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes were chillingly cold as he clutched Luoluo’s neck with his right hand, "If you dare insult my wife again, I guarantee that you will cease to exist in this world."
After saying this, Mo Yunchen released Luoluo and turned to leave with brisk, hurried steps. He needed to find her, he had to find her, and not a moment could be wasted.
Luoluo fell to the ground, clutching her neck, her face showing fright. Yuh Feng and the others knelt down, "Luoluo, are you okay?"
Luoluo sobbed and shook her head, "What on earth is going on?"
She didn’t know what had happened when she suddenly felt her neck being squeezed. Had she offended Master Mo? What should she do?
Yuh Feng shook his head with a sigh, "You, you, I’ve long told you not to speak carelessly. Didn’t you hear what Master Mo said just now? That lady is his fiancée."
Everyone was shocked, and Yao Siqi covered her mouth. The disfigured woman was Master Mo’s fiancée? But wasn’t it said that Master Mo’s fiancée was beautiful and charming? How did she end up like that?
No wonder, no wonder she asked about Master Mo’s whereabouts that day and shed tears. It turns out that she was Master Mo’s fiancée, the very same one he had been searching for five months.
The next day, Qin Qin carried her basket as usual towards the village, handing out the fruit inside to the children. She stayed in the village for a while and then walked towards her home with difficulty. Recently, her body had been growing heavier, and her stomach so large that she couldn’t even see her feet, making it hard to walk even a few steps. However, for the sake of a safe delivery, she had to exercise more.
With a hand on her belly and holding some wild vegetables and wild boar meat given to her by Xiao Li’s grandmother, it took her over ten minutes to reach her house.
Qin Qin stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on the strong, tall figure standing at the doorway with his back to her. Even though he was facing away, she could recognize him at a glance.
Clutching the basket tightly, her eyes reddened, not understanding how he managed to find her and how she could have been exposed.
Without much thought, she instinctively tightened the veil over her face and then turned to leave.
Footsteps came from behind her, and Qin Qin’s heart raced, her steps quickening.
The pebbles underneath caused her feet to slip slightly, and Qin Qin was startled, clutching her belly.
A pair of strong arms caught her from behind, and the basket in Qin Qin’s hand fell to the ground. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, then realized what was happening and pushed him away.
Her hands trembled slightly as she tried to squat down to pick up the basket, but because of her heavy body, she couldn’t squat down at all, let alone pick up the basket and the scattered vegetables and wild boar meat on the ground.
The hoarse, sensual voice rang out.
