Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1662 Soul Chasing Root

“He drank a bowl of Sanqi medicinal wine earlier, and after drinking it, he vomited blood,” Qiao Xiaomai replied.

For the past year, Tong Sanlang has been either taking medicine or consuming medicinal meals, in other words, he has never stopped taking medication.

After brewing the medicinal wine, she made sure Tong Sanlang drank Sanqi medicinal wine daily as per Aunt Lingsu’s instructions. The Sanqi medicinal wine helps dispel blood stasis, relieve pain, relax tendons, promote circulation, and strengthen bones—perfectly suitable for Tong Sanlang.

Using this medicinal wine as an excuse now, neither Aunt Lingsu nor Yang Wenxiao suspected anything.

Bei Yun listened to this, his gaze lingering on Tong Sanlang’s face for a moment, then reached out to check his pulse.

Tong Sanlang’s body had already undergone cleansing with Divine Liquid, and his pulse was steady and strong. Bei Yun raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to the blood clot on the kang bed. “It seems Tong Sanlang’s prolonged illness was entirely due to this blood clot.”

“That’s pure nonsense! Get to the point—does this stench and Paralysis Powder have anything to do with each other?” Aunt Lingsu snapped impatiently.

“They’re related,” Bei Yun nodded in acknowledgment.

“If they’re related, why didn’t you say so earlier?!” Aunt Lingsu flared up upon hearing this, raising her hand, her palm exuding a threatening gust of wind.

Bei Yun hastily pleaded, “Don’t strike, don’t strike! Let’s talk this out calmly! Please, don’t hit me!”

Aunt Lingsu gritted her teeth, “Speak quickly or hold your damn tongue!”

“Alright, alright! Aunt Lingsu, you were right to use Scarlet Flame Herb with Snow Silkworm Skin to resolve the poison. However, when I formulated the Paralysis Powder, I added a bit of Soul Chasing Root.”

“Soul Chasing Root?” Aunt Lingsu’s brows furrowed tightly. “What kind of thing is that?”

“It’s the root of a grass found deep in the mountains of Yuhu. If this root is added to poison, it becomes incredibly difficult to remove. The poison may appear to be resolved, but it isn’t truly gone. If the person later suffers another injury or poisoning, the remnants of the previous poison and injury will re-emerge within the body. Over time, these accumulate, mix together, and ultimately lead to death.”

“Because it’s nearly impossible to purge from the body, I named it Soul Chasing Root.”

Aunt Lingsu: “…”

Everyone in the room: “…”

“How can such a sinister substance exist in this world?” Yang Wenxiao frowned.

“It’d be better to say, how can such a sinister person exist in this world! One year—an entire year! If Tong Sanlang hadn’t inexplicably vomited this clot of blood today, this poison would have lingered in his body, and no one would know when it might lead to his death! Bei Yun, you’ve been in the Capital City for a year. Have I ever mistreated you? Yet, you’ve been withholding such crucial information all this time!”

Her rage intensified, and the wind in Aunt Lingsu’s palm became increasingly difficult to restrain.

Bei Yun scrambled to hide behind the palace maid, desperately justifying himself, “I originally developed this to deal with enemies—of course, the more sinister, the better! Also, once someone is poisoned with this, it’s incurable. Tong Sanlang has already been affected, so revealing the truth would only cause unnecessary worry. That’s why I simply didn’t say anything!”

“If he doesn’t get injured or poisoned again in the future, there won’t be any major issues. But who could have guessed that Miss Qiao kicked him twice—each kick harder than the last? Honestly, if you want to blame someone, you should confront Miss Qiao; it has nothing to do with me!”

“You’re full of crap!” Aunt Lingsu was utterly infuriated by his words.

Bei Yun’s use of poison against enemies wasn’t inherently wrong, but after spending a year in the Capital City, watching Tong Sanlang’s health fail to improve, he knew exactly why and never uttered a word.

Aunt Lingsu’s year of teaching and care had ultimately been wasted!

Bei Yun had truly disappointed her!
