Read Novel Full Chapter 1131: An Unreasonable Request
“Don’t have such dirty thoughts. I won’t do anything to you,” Song Qingshu said calmly. “If it weren’t for Di Yun, I wouldn’t be going to such lengths.”
“Living with me is absolutely out of the question!” Qi Fang shook her head vigorously, refusing decisively.
“I know what you’re worried about,” Song Qingshu said. “You can rest assured, no one will know I was in your room, and I will leave quietly afterwards. It won’t damage your reputation.”
Seeing that Qi Fang was about to say something, Song Qingshu interrupted, “Even if you don’t consider your own safety, you should think about Di Yun. He’s been searching for you all these years. Even if you don’t care about Di Yun, you should think about your newborn daughter. Do you want her to lose her mother at such a young age?”
“Kong Xin Kai…” Qi Fang murmured to herself. Thinking of her daughter’s adorable appearance, her heart softened. “Okay… alright, but you have to promise me you won’t be rude to me. Otherwise, I won’t care about your friendship with my senior brother and will call people in to arrest you.” [G: She’s calling her “Water Spinach” (空心菜 kōng xīn cài)]
“Don’t worry, I’m a man of principle. I don’t take advantage of my friend’s wife,” Song Qingshu replied seriously.
“My senior brother and I aren’t…it’s not what you think.” Although Qi Fang still harbored feelings for Di Yun, she was also aware that she was a member of the Wan family and dared not think anything further. Noticing Song Qingshu’s teasing gaze, she blushed. “Then…alright then, but you must keep your distance from me these days. Um…move the screen over there. We usually keep to ourselves with a screen between us, like water and water.”
“Okay.” Song Qingshu knew it was awkward for a married woman to be in a room with a strange man. He went over to move the screen to the corner, but feeling the steam from the bathtub, he paused. “Madam, are you planning to bathe and change?”
“No need.” Qi Fang shook her head, secretly annoyed. How could she bathe with a man in the room? “Alright then, I’ll begin expelling the poison with my internal energy. Madam, please feel free to do as you please.” Song Qingshu had vaguely sensed something amiss in the prison cell, but Sixi’s arrival interrupted him. Now that things were temporarily calm, he was eager to continue expelling the poison, as his current physical condition left him uncertain.
Seeing Song Qingshu walk behind the screen, Qi Fang finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. As she relaxed, she suddenly felt a chill on her chest. Looking down, she discovered two damp patches on her chest.
Her face flushed instantly. It turned out that when Song Qingshu had tackled her, her struggles had inevitably led to physical contact, and the pressure on her brea$ts had squeezed out some milk, soaking her clothes. She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that she relaxed, she realized.
“How embarrassing! I wonder if he saw me.” Qi Fang’s face was burning red, and she glanced guiltily at the screen. Seeing no movement, she felt slightly relieved.
‘It’s so swollen…’ Qi Fang bit her lip, a troubled expression on her face. She calculated that it was almost time for her daily milk expression routine, but now there was a strange man in the room!
‘Maybe I should just skip it today…’ The thought had barely crossed her mind when Qi Fang instinctively shook her head. Having just given birth, although she was in pain, her lack of experience and shyness prevented her from expressing milk. Soon after, she developed a fever, and her brea$ts became swollen and hard. That illness almost cost her her life.
Later, after receiving treatment from a doctor and guidance from experienced nannies in the household, she learned that she needed to express milk several times a day to maintain her health.
She still vividly remembered the discomfort of her illness and desperately didn’t want to experience it again.
The shyness in her heart ultimately couldn’t overcome the reality of her body. Qi Fang glanced at the screen again, thinking, ‘He’s currently circulating his internal energy to expel the poison; he shouldn’t… he shouldn’t notice what’s happening here.’
She pursed her lips, finally making up her mind. She found a wooden bowl, placed it on her lap, and sat on the edge of the bed with her back to the screen, quietly unbuttoning her bodice.
Her heart pounded wildly. She glanced back again to confirm, then carefully began to squeeze.
Perhaps thinking of the strange man not far behind her, Qi Fang’s hands trembled slightly, making her usually practiced movements awkward. Her delicate body beneath the thin clothing trembled occasionally.
Because of her panic, Qi Fang finished in only half the usual time. Looking at the bowl full of milk, her face flushed. She hurriedly adjusted her bodice and prepared to quietly pour it out.
“Madam, I have a favor to ask.” Just then, Song Qingshu’s voice suddenly rang out from not far behind, startling Qi Fang so much that she almost dropped the wooden bowl in her hand.
“You…when did you get there?” Turning around to look at Song Qingshu, Qi Fang’s heart trembled, and the color drained from her face, turning deathly pale.
“Madam, please rest assured, I just came out and didn’t see anything I shouldn’t have,” Song Qingshu replied.
The more the other person spoke, the more suspicious Qi Fang felt, her heart pounding with fear: ‘Oh no, he saw everything…’
Qi Fang forced herself to calm down, but her voice still trembled: “You…you called me because you need something?”
“Uh…” Song Qingshu also looked embarrassed, saying somewhat awkwardly, “Well…well…Madam is going to throw it away anyway, why don’t you give it to me?”
“Give it to you?” Qi Fang didn’t react immediately, but noticing the other person’s gaze frequently glancing at the wooden bowl in her hand, she realized what was happening, her whole body flushed with shame and anger, “You…you…”
Seeing the young woman’s face turn bright red with anger, Song Qingshu quickly explained, “Madam, please don’t misunderstand…I didn’t mean any disrespect; I simply wanted to find a cure.”
“Cure…detoxify?” Qi Fang was taken aback, but quickly became even more ashamed and angry. “What kind of poison can this stuff cure!”
“I have a close friendship with the Poison King, Master Wu Chen, despite our age difference. Years ago, I overheard him mention that human m!lk is a very miraculous substance that can cure many rare poisons,” Song Qingshu quickly explained. “This time, I was poisoned by your husband’s Heavenly Devil Flower. I tried many methods but couldn’t find a cure. Now, I have no choice but to resort to this. If there’s anything offensive, I hope you won’t take offense.”
He wasn’t lying. Back at Medicine King Manor, the Poison King had indeed mentioned that human m!lk could cure many types of poisoning symptoms. In his previous life, he had also heard that milk could neutralize heavy metal poisoning.
