The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 73 Can we get married soon?

Qi Yuxuan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Miss Liu, do you know what secret this jade pendant holds?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Liu Mengdie's eyes: "I was too young to understand these things back then. However, in my childhood memories, I once overheard Tao Ling'er's father and mother talking. They said they should keep this jade pendant safe and mentioned some kind of treasure. I was too young at the time to understand what was going on."

Qi Yuxuan nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "I see. Actually, this jade pendant was given to me by Tao Ling'er when I was a child. She told me to keep it safe and to keep it a secret."

Liu Mengdie looked at Qi Yuxuan in surprise, a complex emotion welling up in her heart: "So you two knew each other when you were little. No wonder Sister Qiu was willing to take a sword from you, and no wonder you have this jade pendant."

"What did you say? It's because Qiu Ziyue and I knew each other since we were kids that she was willing to take this sword strike from me. So you mean Qiu Ziyue is Tao Ling'er?" Qi Yuxuan asked in surprise.

“Otherwise, Young Master Qi, think about it, why are we so close?” Liu Mengdie said.

"But she told me that she was just Tao Ling'er's deceased fellow disciple."

"Then she probably doesn't want to acknowledge you as her family."

"But why doesn't she want to acknowledge me? I always feel that she is very different from when she was a child. When she was a child, Tao Ling'er was timid and weak, but now Qiu Ziyue is lively, cheerful, and even a little crazy."

"I don't know about that, Young Master Qi, but Sister Ziyue looks a lot like Tao Ling'er when she was little. You should be able to recognize her."

“When I met her as a child, she and her mother were fleeing there. At that time, Tao Ling’er’s face was dirty and her hair was messy. I really didn’t recognize her.”

"I see. But I also feel that Sister Ziyue's personality is indeed different now compared to when she was a child. But one thing is the same: she is still kind. However, people change as they grow up. I like Sister Ziyue."

"Hmm, this Qiu Ziyue really is Tao Ling'er, so there's some truth to her betting with me."

The two talked for a long time in the sedan chair.

Qi Yuxuan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "When Tao Ling'er handed me the jade pendant, she told me that it was very important, but she didn't say what it was."

Liu Mengdie returned the jade pendant to Qi Yuxuan and said, "Even Sister Qiu herself probably doesn't know. Since it was given to you by Sister Qiu, you should keep it safe. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

Qi Yuxuan nodded, and then asked Liu Mengdie how much she knew about Tao Ling'er when she was a child.

Liu Mengdie said, "Tao Ling'er loved music when she was little, but she was never good at it. She probably didn't inherit her father's musical talent, but she was very kind and innocent. We got along very well, especially since Tao Ling'er was terrified of caterpillars. She would scream every time she saw one."

Qi Yuxuan smiled and recalled, "Yes, I remember once we were playing in the woods when a caterpillar fell on Tao Ling'er, scaring her so much that she started crying. In the end, I even helped her catch the caterpillar."

Liu Mengdie laughed as well, as if she had returned to those carefree days: "Yes, those days were really happy. It's a pity that the Tao family suffered a disaster later, and everything changed."

Qi Yuxuan said this, and then added, "Things have changed. Who would have thought that Tao Ling'er would become a female demon that many people in the martial arts world hate?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengdie said, "Young Master Qi, rumors in the martial arts world are not necessarily credible, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Why make things difficult for Sister Ziyue? I am a girl, and I can understand how much pain Sister Qiu felt when you stabbed her with your sword. Do you know that?"

"Sigh," Liu Mengdie sighed, "No matter what happens, I believe that Sister Qiu is really a good person. Please don't talk about her anymore, okay?"

Qi Yuxuan fell silent.

Qi Yuxuan was skeptical about the "female demon" claim. He genuinely believed that Tao Ling'er was kind-hearted when she was young, but he couldn't figure out Qiu Ziyue now.

Qi Yuxuan felt that Qiu Ziyue was unfathomable, including the mystical techniques she used, which were simply unbelievable, somewhat like magic, and even a bit sinister. After all, when faced with rumors, it's better to believe them than not to believe them at all.

While Qi Yuxuan was lost in thought, the carriage had already arrived at the inn.

Liu Mengdie and Qi Yuxuan bid each other farewell politely, and Lin Mohan returned to his residence.

He went to see Qi Yushuang, whose complexion gradually improved after taking the antidote.

When Qi Yushuang saw Qi Yuxuan enter, she forced a smile.

"Brother Xuan, you've come." Qi Yushuang's voice was a little weak, but still full of warmth.

Qi Yuxuan walked to the bedside, took her hand, and said softly, "Yushuang, I've come to see you. How are you feeling?"

Qi Yushuang gently shook her head and said softly, "Brother Xuan, I... I might not be able to hold on much longer. I think... I think we can get married as soon as possible, so that even if I leave, I can rest assured."

Qi Yuxuan's heart sank. He gripped Qi Yushuang's hand tightly, his voice firm: "Yushuang, don't overthink it. I will definitely find a way to cure the poison, and you will get better. As for the wedding, we can plan it properly after you've fully recovered, okay?"

Qi Yushuang added, "Only when we get married can I feel at ease, and that way, so many women won't have their eyes on you."

Qi Yuxuan laughed and said, "You silly girl, what are you thinking? I, Qi Yuxuan, don't even glance at them, why bother?"

A tear glistened in Qi Yushuang's eyes, but she still nodded: "Brother Xuan, I know you are a good person, but, but when I think of the bet you made with Qiu Ziyue, I am really afraid of losing you, and I am also afraid that I will not live to see that day."

Qi Yuxuan said gently, "Yushuang, you must believe me. I will do everything I can to find a way to detoxify. You can't give up, and neither can I. As for the bet, you know it was something I had no choice but to do. Besides, for her to win the swordsmanship championship and complete the three things she promised me is harder than climbing to heaven. Why are you thinking so much?"

Qi Yushuang smiled slightly, "Those three things are usually punishments for prisoners, which are unbearable for ordinary people. I'm afraid Miss Qiu is just talking about it. I don't think she has that much courage."

"Don't think about it anymore, Yushuang. Just focus on getting better right now, and don't worry about anything else," Qi Yuxuan said.

"Okay," Qi Yushuang replied. She was already delicate and graceful, like a lotus in the wind, and now that she was ill, she was even more pitiful.

Qi Yuxuan gently patted the back of her hand and whispered to comfort her, "You should rest well, you'll be fine."

The room fell silent, with only Qi Yuxuan's soft breathing and Qi Yushuang's steady heartbeat.

Qi Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze never leaving her face.

Gradually, Qi Yushuang's breathing became even and deep, and she drifted off to sleep.

Qi Yuxuan gently pulled the blanket up for her and quietly left the room.

Meanwhile, things were not peaceful at Lu Minglou.
