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

Chapter 1670: Chapter 1669: The Bitterness Inside is Too Strong

Be a better person.

These words entered his ears, and Bei Yun’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He said nothing, lowering his head and continuing to wield his paintbrush.

A better person?

He used to be a young beast, and now he’s an old beast. He’s never been human.

After being a beast for decades, how could he easily just turn into a person?

The corners of his mouth curved into a small arc, and he smiled faintly, “Aunt Lingsu, are you going to preach to me again about the benefits of being a better person?”

“There’s no need for me to preach. Hasn’t this past year been a meaningful experience for you? Hasn’t it drawn you in?” Bei Lingsu asked.

“It has been good. But I’m about to be taken back to the Bei family, and once I’m there, life won’t be the same as it is now.” Bei Yun sighed lightly, “The atmosphere in Capital City is better.”

“If you think the atmosphere in Capital City is better, then once you’ve mended your ways, you can still come back.”

“What does mending my ways even mean? Three or five years of not harming people? Or consistently doing good deeds for ten or eight years without interruption?” Bei Yun laughed self-deprecatingly. “I’m not young anymore, and with the poison in me… whether I’ll even live for ten years is uncertain.”

These words made Bei Lingsu furrow her brows. “Can’t the poison in your body be suppressed indefinitely?”

“Who knows? Resistance, you understand the term, don’t you? I’ve been taking this medication for thirty years now. Who can predict what the future holds? Aunt Lingsu, I’ve carried a lifetime of bitterness inside me; a single year isn’t enough to erase it all. Not to mention that during this year, even you sometimes haven’t treated me as a person.”

Bei Lingsu remained silent.

Bei Yun lifted his gaze toward Bei Lingsu, and upon seeing the helplessness mixed with heartache on her face, he reverted to his usual smiling expression. “Aunt Lingsu, haven’t I also refrained from harming anyone? I just know things and keep silent. That’s progress compared to the past, isn’t it?”

“When I return to the Bei family, make sure to send me the trendy items from Capital City. I used to roam through remote mountains and wilderness all the time. The vibrancy and bustle of Capital City… it’s too intoxicating. I’m reluctant to let it go.”

Hearing this, Bei Lingsu felt her nose sting and nodded, “Alright.”

“Now, Aunt, you go on with your own business. I need to continue painting. Miss Qiao is really mad at me this time. To purchase Floral Dew from her, I’ll probably need to pay a high price again. Sigh, I need to paint more to earn money.”

As Bei Yun spoke, he picked up his brush again to continue painting.

“Once her anger subsides, I’ll ask her for some Floral Dew,” Bei Lingsu said, standing still.

“Then thank you, Aunt Lingsu. But Aunt Lingsu, aren’t you curious how Tong Sanlang managed to spit out the Soul Chasing Root? I’ve conducted experiments on dozens of people before, and no matter the method, I couldn’t completely eliminate the Soul Chasing Root.”

“You experimented on dozens of people?!”

“Uh… don’t focus on the wrong thing here, huh? I’m a beast, so naturally I do what beasts do,” Bei Yun said, repeating his earlier words and shifting the focus back to Tong Sanlang inexplicably spitting out the Soul Chasing Root.

That’s the real mystery—he simply couldn’t figure it out.

“I don’t know.” Bei Lingsu shook her head.

“Then, Aunt Lingsu, have you heard about the former emperor once issuing an edict, saying something along the lines of remembering a bowl of rice and asking an old acquaintance, Madam Gu, to meet?” Bei Yun asked again.

“I don’t know.” Bei Lingsu still shook her head.

“But you must at least know about the Flower of Hell, right? On the day Shen Chenghao staged his rebellion, didn’t he publicly announce that both the former emperor and his direct heirs were afflicted with the Flower of Hell?” Bei Yun asked once more.

“I’ve heard about that.”

“The Flower of Hell—it’s a drug that causes addiction and is incurable, as it damages the brain. Yet neither the former emperor nor his direct heirs succumbed to the poison. Aunt Lingsu, don’t you think that’s peculiar?”
