Free Web NovelChapter 2350: Chapter 2350: Henpecked Husband
The old man who was originally lying lifelessly on the Taishi chair, had sat up, a fierce expression on his face, as if others owed him tens or hundreds of thousands, looking just like those possessed by demons, ready to bite anyone he catches.
The dozen or so guests who had stayed at the inn to watch the commotion, upon seeing this situation, quietly slipped away.
One can watch all sorts of excitement, but the possession can’t be watched, as the possession of one person can bring calamity to the whole village.
Xuexue poked her head out from behind Long Rui and said, "I’ve already cured the poison in your father’s body. You saw earlier, he vomited black blood. You’re really ungrateful. I cured your father, and yet you scolded me?"
The Thin Man was extremely furious because Xuexue cured the poison in his father’s body but didn’t treat the possession. Now, once the poison was cured, their father had the energy to chase after their brothers to bite them, even harming his brother.
"Not treating is better than treating. If you didn’t treat him, my father would still be lying there fine. You cured the poison, but didn’t treat the possession, isn’t this harming us brothers?"
Xuexue: "You mean, I cured the poison wrongly?"
Actually, the old man was not only possessed but also poisoned. Earlier, Xuexue helped with acupuncture, releasing the poison.
The Thin Man glared angrily, "Yes, if my brother is fine, let it be, but if anything happens to him, I’ll kill you."
Xuexue looked up at Long Rui and said, "Prince, forget it, don’t rescue these heartless people."
Long Rui, looking like a hen-pecked husband, gazed at Xuexue and gently said, "Whatever my wife says goes. I’ll listen to you."
After saying this, he lifted his gaze to Long Yi beside him and loudly said, "Did you hear that? The Princess Consort said not to save these people, pour all the medicine away."
Long Yi froze for a moment, "Master?"
Xuexue blinked at him.
Long Yi looked at the Prince, then at the Princess Consort, thinking, what are they up to now?
Long Rui frowned, impatiently said, "Did you hear that? Pour it all away."
"Yes." As Long Yi was about to follow the Prince’s instructions to pour all the medicine away, he heard the Princess Consort coughing.
He turned his head in confusion, looking at the Princess Consort.
He saw Xuexue blink at him again.
Only then did Long Yi realize that the Prince and Princess Consort wanted him to put on a show for the brothers.
"Prince, this is miraculous medicine for treating possession, it cost a lot of Silver, isn’t it a pity to pour it away?" Long Yi immediately pretended and asked Long Rui loudly.
Actually, these herbs are quite common and can be bought at any pharmacy. Combining over a dozen types can achieve the effect of curing the possession. However, many doctors wouldn’t know this, making the medicine seem very precious.
Long Rui replied indifferently, "Saving heartless people, pouring it away doesn’t matter, what’s there to pity? I’m happy to do it. My wife is kind-hearted, wants to save them, but they don’t appreciate it and even want to hit and kill her, really thinking they can bully us. It’s simply outrageous."
Long Yi seemed to be angry too, "The Prince is right, pour it away, don’t let these heartless people drink it."
Saying this, he took the medicine pot from the table with both hands, preparing to take it out and pour it away.
The Fat Man was stomping and pounding his chest, but upon hearing there was medicine for treating possession, his small eyes lit up. He immediately quieted down, perked up his ears to listen, and seeing Long Yi really about to pour away the medicine, he lunged forward like a hungry dog snatching food, hugging the scalding hot medicine pot in his arms. Tragically...
"Ah... hot... it’s burning me!"
The Fat Man jumped up entirely.
Oh my, he was originally very fat, and this jump made all his flesh shake like a big ball of meat bouncing on the spot. Everyone present nearly popped their eyes out watching.
