After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 382 It’s ridiculous
Damn!

All deserve to die!
At this moment, Sun Li was filled with regret. If he had known the truth earlier, he should have killed the mother and daughter with his own hands instead of letting them die easily in the sea of ​​fire!

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Sun Li, and it seemed that all his spirits had been extinguished.

But when he came to his senses, he realized that the real danger was not this. Even though the matter caused many people to secretly mock him, he would encounter many mocking glances whenever he went out.

The real trouble lies in the rumor about the treasure!

"Tsk, Sun Li must be in big trouble now. There must be quite a few people eyeing the Sun family."

In a courtyard in Canxin City, Qiqi was overjoyed, she couldn't be happier.

Those rumors were, of course, spread by them. All they had to do was walk around the streets in black cloaks, seemingly talking to people about Sun Ru's death in the fire, but inadvertently revealing those "secrets," and someone would spread them for them.

The master personally sought revenge on Sun Ru, which made Qi Qi extremely happy, giving her a feeling of great revenge being fulfilled.

Hmph, you insist on taking the Flower-Cherishing Frost from me. Fine, fine, the Flower-Cherishing Frost is yours, but your life and your Qiankun Bag will have to be handed over to my master, hehe.

“Sun Li and Sun Ru have made quite a few enemies in the past, and now there are rumors of a treasure. Even if not many people actually believe it, there are quite a few people who will take this opportunity to attack Sun Li.” Mo Jiuwei lay there, receiving food from Tuanzi.

To her disappointment, Sun Ru's Qiankun bag didn't actually contain that many treasures.

That's true. No matter how much she's favored, Sun Li's affection for her will never surpass that for himself.

The reason Sun Li gave her the Earth-grade defensive magic weapon instead of keeping it for himself was simply because it was a woman's hairpin, which he couldn't wear.

He did want to buy a men's version of the same grade, but Earth-grade magic artifacts are extremely rare and hard to come by; they're not something he can buy just because he has money.

Sun Ru spends money like water, spending as much as she has in crystals and the like, and her daily life is extremely luxurious, but she doesn't actually keep much in her possession.

Her Qiankun bag contained only some strange pills and talismans for saving her life, which were relatively valuable.

However, with that Earth-grade defensive magic artifact, it's barely enough, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

"That's great! Sun Li is no good either! Sun Ru has been killing people like dirt all these years, harming so many male lovers and servants, and he's the one who's been protecting her." Qi Qi sneered.

"I heard that he didn't get his position as vice president properly either. Apparently, his mentor was the previous vice president, but that person suddenly protected him, which is why he got the position," Ningning said. "Now it seems that Sun Li's inability to have children is a punishment from heaven. He brought it on himself."

"So, the whole Sun family is no good, including his wife who had an affair." Xiaoya shook her head.

"By the way, there's another rumor circulating that Sun Li's concubines also have their own lovers... We didn't spread this rumor, so we don't know if it's true or not."

“Those women were brought into his household by him through various means, and besides, he’s impotent, so how could they be devoted to him?” Mo Jiuwei chuckled. “Alright, let’s not talk about his messy affairs anymore. Let’s go eat some duck.”

Although Sun Li is the vice president, he rose to power too quickly and has already threatened the interests of the business alliance.

Now that he has leverage over him, and is even more in the spotlight because of the treasure, countless people are eyeing him. He is too busy taking care of himself to care about his escaped male lovers.

Mo Jiuwei saved those men's lives. Since she saved them, she should see it through to the end. She couldn't just run away and then be caught by Sun Li's men, could she?
This is why she had people spread rumors.

"A duck? Okay." Xueying subconsciously agreed, then realized something, "Did that Young Master Hu Xiu contact you again?" "That's right, Xueying is so smart." Mo Jiuwei praised.

The Qingge Duck at Le'an Restaurant was delicious and suited Mo Jiuwei's taste perfectly. Although she had eaten it not long ago, she was craving it again.

Just then, Hu Xiu suggested meeting again, so she set the meeting place at their usual spot, since there would be a private room for him anyway.

She stretched out her arms and let the maid change her clothes. Then the group boarded the beast-drawn carriage and headed towards Le'an Hall.

"Sister Mo! Dear sister, please tell me quickly, how can I cure this poison?"

After welcoming Mo Jiuwei into the private room, Hu Xiu looked at her as if she were a family member.

His mother consulted many alchemists, but surprisingly, they either didn't know about the Cold Beauty or had heard of it, but weren't clear about its effects.

Later, his mother consulted a high-level alchemist, who then revealed the key point—

That cold beauty was indeed poisonous, and the poison was not as mild as it appeared from the outside; it could penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream and even the internal organs.

In other words, its poison enters the internal organs and has a certain incubation period.

If the person who has been poisoned is not pregnant, then the poisoning can be treated once the abnormality is detected. This poison is not fatal, and the symptoms vary from person to person, so the treatment can be tailored to the specific symptoms.

But the problem was that his mother was pregnant at the time!

Therefore, the cold beauty's poison did not enter her internal organs, but instead entered the womb and attached itself to the fetus, which is Hu Xiu's body.

Then came the truly absurd part: after entering Hu Xiu's body, the symptoms weren't affecting his health or posing any life-threatening danger, but rather... affecting his appearance.

Upon learning the truth, Hu Xiu and his parents almost wanted to facepalm and smile bitterly.

No wonder, no wonder Hu Xiu was ugly since he was a child, so ugly that his friends disliked and ridiculed him.

At that time, they thought that the child might just be ugly when he was young, and that he would grow out of it as he got older.

But even when it grew bigger, it was still ugly!

However, the Hu family was not short of money, and they did their best to improve his appearance so that he could be presentable in public.

The Hu couple had always had a good relationship, and neither of them suspected that the child was not theirs, thinking it was just a coincidence.

It wasn't until Mo Jiuwei reminded them that they consulted the alchemist and learned that it was actually due to poisoning!

"...I never imagined there was such a wicked poison in the world!" Hu Xiu covered both sides of his face, full of bitterness. "I've been ridiculed and looked at strangely all my life, and it's all because of this misunderstanding. I'm so wronged!"

What did he do wrong? Why does he have to suffer like this?

That's so unfair!
Mo Jiuwei and her maids felt both sympathy and amusement.

"However, although we found out the reason, no one knows how to cure this poison." After Hu Xiu finished speaking, he became serious and looked at Mo Jiuwei pleadingly, "Sister Mo, you said there is a pill that can cure me, is that true?"
