My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1177 - 1183: Madam’s Jealousy

Duo’er returned to the small courtyard where Chen Yiling and Bai Yifan were sitting in the pavilion playing Go. These two really reached a whole new level of boredom.

"Duo’er, come help me!"

Chen Yiling’s eyes instantly lit up, without a master to rescue her, she was about to lose again.

Qiao Duo’er spread her hands, "You only have three pieces left, how can I help?"

Thinking of overturning the game, at least give her some capital.

"You might as well just admit defeat," Bai Yifan gloated.

Chen Yiling had a scatterbrained personality, unsuited for this kind of game, and probably could only win against Qin Longyun.

And even Qin Longyun would have to go out of his way to let Chen Yiling win.

"Damn it, I’m not playing anymore!"

Chen Yiling deliberately messed up the chessboard, and inadvertently, she noticed a small patch of purplish-blue on Duo’er’s wrist; because Duo’er’s skin was delicate and fair, it was particularly conspicuous.

"Duo’er, your arm is bruised, have you put medicine on it?"

When Chen Yiling rolled up Duo’er’s sleeve, she only found that it was just a small patch that was exposed.

This must have been from the fight yesterday.

It was all her fault; if it wasn’t for her being utterly useless, Duo’er wouldn’t have been hurt like this.

Qiao Duo’er glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even noticed it."

Bai Yifan’s expression immediately became grave, and he immediately grabbed Duo’er’s wrist and began to take her pulse.

Duo’er pursed her lips: "It’s just a minor injury, do you need to be so worried?"

Fighting with so many people yesterday, just having some bruises was already considered light; could it really be life-threatening?

"It is ’madam’s jealousy’ poison."

Bai Yifan stated, pausing word by word.

Qiao Duo’er and Chen Yiling both looked baffled, what was this?

Was it poison or a disease?

"This is a Gu poison unique to Southern Xinjiang. The larvae need a resentful woman to feed them with the blood from her tongue for forty-nine days. Once mature, the Gu worm lodges itself in the human body, gradually causing the wounds not to scab over, resulting in death from complete blood loss. This kind of Gu poison is tricky and malicious, and the antidote must be made using the heart blood of the Gu breeder."

Bai Yifan briefly explained.

Urn Technique was a forbidden technique in the dynasty, both breeding and using Gu were capital offenses, thus very few knew about it.

He had also only learned of the existence of Gu poison during his travels to Southern Xinjiang.

"You mean we need to find the Gu breeder?" Qiao Duo’er quickly understood.

Bai Yifan nodded, "Yes, this Gu worm has been in your body for only a few days. Think carefully about whom you might have offended."

The reason this Gu poison is called ’madam’s jealousy’ is that it only affects the person whom the Gu breeder resents.

Qiao Duo’er carefully recalled the people and things she had come into contact with recently.

After thinking it over, she still felt that it was most likely from yesterday.

There was no doubt that Li Mu’er hated her to the core; if she could secretly drug them yesterday, she could have infected them with Gu poison.

Damn it, no, dead but not at peace!

Qiao Duo’er said with a somber expression, "Check everyone who went out with me yesterday, Yi Ling, Ping’er, and the three kids."

Bai Yifan did not dare delay and immediately examined everyone one by one.

The process of waiting for judgement was extremely agonizing; everyone dared not breathe too heavily, only staring fixatedly at Bai Yifan.

In their hearts, they all silently prayed that no one else was poisoned.

"The children are alright, but the adults..."

Bai Yifan did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

Qiao Duo’er, Chen Yiling, and Ping’er were all poisoned with Gu.

The room fell deathly silent...

"We can guess who the Gu breeder is, and the fact that the children are unharmed is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," Qiao Duo’er broke the silence.
